A Mountain Alligator.

William Blackheath, who has Just re-
turned from a six-monts' soiourn in
Arizona, has brought to the Comstock
the skin of what he, for want of bet
ter name, calls Gila monster, but
which is evidently that of saurian of
different species. The skin now
measures seven feet from tip to tip, and
it has evidently shrunk some inches in
drying. Though about the color of an
ordinary Gila monster, the reptile is
evidently a kind of inland crocodile, or
more properly, cayman, as it had not
the webbed feet of the crocodile.
The strange saurian was found in a
small valley in the Wheatstone Noun
tains. When alive it stood two feet high.
and its body. just back of its fore-legs,
was over three feeti in circumference. The
creature was as savage as a bulldog,
and as full of fight as a viper. 1t was
found by the dogs of Mr.. Blackheath
and partner When the mea.arlived at
the haunt of the reptIe-to which they
were attracted by the fierce and pecui-
lar barking of their dogs, three in num-
ber-they found that one dog had al
ready been killed and the others were
badly cut up and covered with blood
The creature displayed such activity
and was SO diaholically vicious that the
two prospectors feared to go near it,
being armed with nothing better than a
prospecting pick and shovel with a
short handle.
Finally the thing got one of the dogs
by the foreleg, and finding that it held
on like terrier, with no sign of loosing
its hold. Mr.. Blackheath ran forward
and struck his pick into its head. Even
then the reptile held on, and it was not
until it had been struck several blows
with the pole of the pick that IFS jaws
relaxed and it gave up the ghost.
When the dog was released it was
found that his foreleg had been broken
at a point about two inches above the
knee.
Mr.. Blackheath says he has met with
several of the creatures known as Gila
monsters that were two feet and two
and half feetinlength, butnever before
or since saw, or even suspected the ex-
istence of one so large as that whose
skin he possesses. 1t was surprise to
all the white men in that section, but
some of the Indians asserted that far
south in the Sierra Madre Mountains
they had seen some that were as large
or larger.
Unfortunately, in fiaying the saurian.
Mr.. Rackheath's only idea was to have
the hide tanned and made into boots
and CATERS, therefore he did not pre-
serve the feet, otherwise the skin might
be stuffed and mounted by taxiderm-
ist. He says the teeth of the creature
We're over an inch in length, were sharp
as needles, and in shape resemhled the
teeth of shark. FSrgissta City Nee. J

The African Slave Trade.

An officer on board the sailing
schooner Uad6ne, Lieutenant and Com
mander Henry MeA. Cutfield. employed
in suppressing the slave trade in Mo
zambique Channel, writing under date
July 16, says: te
We are having a lively time, can
assure you. with 103 poor. miserable,
half-starved wretches on board, eighty
of them women and children, and for
the most part children from eighteen
months to ten years old, and one only
four days old. The dhow that they
came to Johanna in was sixty-three
tons, so they were packed like sardines.
She was caught by our boat that was
left behind for ninety-Six days, and ]
am sorry to say one of our poor fellows
died of fever in her. These slaves were
kidnapped about two hundred miles
south of Mozambique, brought down to
the coast, and shipped off to Johanna
as a speculation, as the sugar crop is
just coming on. Some of the children
have been taken care of by the women.
Two little chaps the men look after are
housed in biscuit box. and they cry
Justify if taken out af it. They eat all
day and nearly all night. One old
woman became insane after she was
taken out of the dhow, and she has a
baby with her. The poor old woman is
tied down to prevent her going over
board in fit, of which she has had
several. Every morning all are stripped
and the fire-hose played on them indis-
eriminately, and don't they want it!
The smell is something too bad to be
talked about. Luckily we have beau
tifrl weather this trip, and strong,
fair wind. Some would be certain to
die if we had spell of bad weather, as
we have only the upper deck for them
to lie on. The night we took them on
on board they were so cramped and
weak that only about twenty could
walk. The rest were passed in one
after the other, and then slowed in
rows for he night. One hundred and
twenty pounds of rice, treacle and sweet
potatoes were cooked at once When
they saw it they went hands and feet
into it, and fought and bit, and each did
everything that could be done to get a
little more than another. It was really
most distressing sight. We should,
] think, capture three times as many if
we had some more boats and a steam
cutter, as there is not shadow of
doubt that large numbers are run here
every year, and especially about this
time.-PaH Mall Gazette.

A Bright Dog.

A dog of the shepherd breed, owned
by Aaron Hutchinson, of Mansfield,
Conn.,, not only possesses the usual ac-
complishments common to the educated
CANNES, such as shaking hands, await
ing the signal three to snap the piece
of bread, speaking, ETC., but he also
sings. "Situp, hold ont your paw and
sing, says his master. and Pedro will
pose in most knowing attitude, and
to a musical accompaniment will join
his voice, varying his song as the tune
is high or low, fast or slow, and stops
when the instrument ceases. He is
also an excellent watch dog; not hen
dare go into the garden when Pedro is
in sight, and at night his care IS in
creased. A while ago the dog came
under the window of the room where
Mr.. II. sleeps, and barked so violently
that sleep was impossible. ..Be still,
Pedro, commanded the master; but
Pedro persisted, and threatening ven
geance on the dog, Mr.. II. arose, and
going out, found a large hog destroy
ing his garden, Pedro alone not being
able to drive the animal out.

aSHE DOES NOT KNOW CHICKEN
FROM TuRKEY.,'*


Helene is the handsomest girl of her race;
She's an elegant form and 81 exquisite face;
And she dresses with perfectly consammate
grace,
BiIt she doesn't know chicken from turkey.
She knows many languages, living and dead
In science and fiction is very well read,
But she cannot cook meat, and she cannot
make bread
She can play a ''Fantasie" or "Nocturlle" with
skill,
Can sing up TO B"-has wonderful .trill;
Can write good story or sonnet but still
She doesn't know chicken from turkey
She's been up the Tiber, the Rhine and the
Nile;
She's painter in every popular style
Can decorate china, a plaque OF tile
But she doesn't know chicken from turkey
She's always self-satisfied, graceful and cool;
A critic both just and correct, as rule,
And knows every stitch of the Kensington
But she doesn't know chicken from turkey.
She can work design by Lensing or Burt;
But she cannot cut out for her children a
skirt,
Or make for her husband a well-fiting shirt
She doesn't know chicken from turkey.
I'm willing a girl should read Latin and
Greek;
Should German and French and Italian speak; !;
And be "up'' in the latest esthetical freak,
III Sne only KNOWS chicken from turkey.
I'd like her in music and song to take part:
Read poetry, science, and cultivate art
If husband and children were first in her
heart,
And If she knew chicken from turkey
Knew barley from rice, knew tart from a
pie;
A boil from stew, brOil from fry:
And If she went into the market to buy
Knew very well chicken from turkey
For, to make home happy, all knowledge
must blend;
Art, science and service their benefits lend:
Then, ladies so clever and wise condescend
To know about chicken and turkey.
