A Remarkable Fish.

During the recent scientific cruise of
the Travailleur there was taken off the
coasts of Morocco, and from depth of
about 1920 fathoms, fish of very sin !.
gular character. 1t is about foot and
a-half long and of a deep black color.
Its most distinguishing feature, how
ever, is huge mouth cavity, which is
quite disproportionate to the small,
tapering body, and capable, through
the arrangement of the jaws, presence
of extensible membranes, etc., Gas NJ.
Valiant describes in Complies Re,sdus),
of very wide enlargement of the cavity.
Itmay be fifty compared to the we'll
known pouch of the pelican, and M.
Valiant thinks it probable that food ac-
cumulates in the pouch and is there
partly digested. The locomotive organs
are of the most rudimentary nature.
The paired fins are represented merely
BY two very small appendices, which
may be considered pectoral fins; there
are no ventral fins, but a dorsal and
anal are present. The respiratory APP
paratus is Of unique composition. There
IS no swimming bladder. It is proposed
to call this peculiar fish EmYpharyasr

How Watch Cases are Mode.

1t is fact not generally known that the
James Boss Gold Watch Gases really con-
tain more pure gold than many " solid"
gold cases The demand for these watch
cases has led to the manufacture of a very
poor grade of solid gold watch cases
low in quality, and deficient in quantity.
These cases are made from 4s to 10 karats,
and or karat case is often sold for II
or IA karats. 1t is NOT economy to buy
watch case so poor in quality that it will
soon lose its color, or one SO soft that it will
lose its shape and fail to shut tight, thus
letting in dust and damaging the works, or
one SO thin that a slight blow will break
the crystal, and perhaps the movement.
1t is economy to buy James Boss Gold
Watch Case, in which NONE Of these things
ever occur. This watch case is not an erpe'I-
ment-it has been made nearly thirty gears.

Death of Mrs. Z. A. Baker, of Greene
Vile

The Greeneville papers OF last
week brought US the sad lntelll>
gence of the death of one of the
| best women we ever knew-Mrs.
! Eliza Baker of that town. AS a
wife, mother, friend and neigbbor,
Mrs. Baker was an example Of noble
womanhood, and those who knew
her in all the relations Of life will
mourn her departure sincerely and
feel her absence long after the grass
has grown green oyer her last S
ting place.
A more loving home than that
which Mrs. Baker made for the
members of her household one
could not find anywhere, and the
sweet devotion of her life to the
welfare and comfort Of her husband
and children was an adage and,an ex-
h~ortation among her friends and
neighbors.
Mrs. Baker had been in failing
health for years when the loss of
her husband came, a few weeks ago,
and Frustrated her beyond POSSIBLE
ity Of recovery. She was taken
from he- life>time home in Greene
vile to the home cf her daughter
Mrs. Robt. Mcfarland, at Norris
town, in the hope that the change
might divert her thoughts from her
great loss and lead to her improve
ment in health and spirits. The
hope was a vain one, and On Nov.
Is, at 1890 o'clock in her 6Sth year,
the good life went out forever.
Mrs. Baker was the mother OF a
large family-eleven or twelve
children, Of whom SURVIVE Mrs.
Jennie Mcfarland wife of Hon.
Rob't. Mcfarland, of Morristown,
Mrs. Sue DePue, wife Of Chas. w.
DePue.-o Knoxville, and Thos. a.,
Chas. p. and Horace N. Baker.
We have found that in the grave
of a good mother are buried the
dearest hopes and the highest am
billions of young manhood, and for
our friends in their sad bereavement
we feel that sympathy which fresh
n a like sorrow.
