The Sea.COM,

In the published proceedings" Of
the third meeting of the American As
ISOLATION for the Advancement OF
Science, which met at Charleston, S.
c., 1850, there is given a very curious
and interesting account of the manatee,
or sea-cOw, and some errors of eminent
naturalists Of the past in regard to the
strange aquatic mammal were cor
rected.
The head of this mammal resembles
hat of a COW without horns. The
fieshy nose is much like the cows. The
resemblance, however, ends with the
face.
The swimming paws of the manatee
are employed like legs for climbing up
the banks of rivers. The mammal thus
is at once a kind of fish and animal, a
sort of connecting link between the
two.
The manatee is an inhabitant of the
seashore and the banks of rivers. It
feeds upon alge and aquatic plants,
thus affording another reason for the
name "sea-cow" or "water-cow." When
it stands erect in shallow water, i looks
ct a distance like q a
The famous manatee of Florida and
the Gulf of Mexico is about twelve feet
long, but Sometimes attains a length OF
fifteen or twenty feet.
Like tn. seals. the manatee is gentle
In disp N. 1t is not afraid of men,
and is harmless even when attacked.
It is found in shallow water and is
easily captured.
The flesh of the manateee is whole
some for food. Curiously enough, the
manatee of South America is regarded
as fish during Lent and fast-days, and
as animal food when occasion requires.
The manatee, like the seal, may be-
come attached to man. It exhibits in
this respect the strong characteristics
of the animal rather than the fish. Few
mammals are more interesting to the
naturalist.

ssH0D.TOde's and Bear Stories.

Little Johnny's" stories from nature
have no written moral. but the reader
can generally pick out one. Here are
two good specimens of bow narrative:
One time . frog and hop-tode they
met, and the frog sassed the hop-tode
cos it was clumsy, but the tode it sed,

And now lie tell you a story about .
bear. One day the bear he went among
a flock of sheep and picked out a nice
little labm, and cot it, and the labm it
said ba-ba-ba!" cause it kanew it was g.

Sympathy with IN Author.

sympathy with an Author.
He who would make others weep
must first weep himself.
Dickens, while writing one of his
novels, used to become so interested in
the characters that he would laugh and
weep with them.
An acquaintance met Thackeray one
morning coming out of his house, with
eyes flied with tears.
"What is the matter-lost a friend?"
asked the man.
Eyes; I've just killed Col. Newcome,"
answered the novelist, as he fastened
away.
An author who thus Identifies him.
self with the creations of his imagina-
ton is sure of sympathic readers. He
will be paid the most f1attering of all
compliments, that of seeing people
taking sides with and against his char
acters.
Baron Richards, while reading the
memorable case of Bardell vs.. Pick
wick, in "Pickwick Papers," became so
excited that when he came to the YER
dict, he jumped up and, dashing the
book into q corner, exclaimed:
"What the dickens could Gaselee
(the Judge) I've about, aud the jury?
Why the verdict is against evidence, it
can't stand."
Lord Chancellor Thurlow was .
coarse, arrogant, profane man, of great
brain and small heart, who had little
sympathy with posts or with any n
else.
He was once reading Millions descrip-
ton of the wal in heaven and of Satan's
overthrow. So absorbed did he be-
come in the poets creation that he ex-

Mr.. Editor.

mr.. EdltOr:
l send the following communi
cation hoping that it will not find
the way to the waste basketball
you are not one of the editors who
think it unnecessary to publish
anything for the benefit of woman.
The extracts from a private letter
received by one Of our citizens from
President-elect Cleveland will, I
trust, insure your attention and give
it circulation. Gov. Cleveland in
speaking of the needs of the coun-
try and his future policy, especially
as regards the South, made the fol-
lowing significant remarks: "What
the South needs is employment for
all who can labor in any capacity
she wants more laborers in the
fields, developing the various re-
sources of her fertile soil;-she
wants the abandonment of the old
idea that women must not be bust
ness managers and compete with
man for place and position where
yer and whenever her sex will ad-
nit" He also said: "The fact that
| have never married should not
lead people to think that / do not
appreciate woman. My affections,
when very young man, were laid,
in the grave with my first and only
love, and intended wife, whose
memory is still revered and dear to
me. When I assume the control
of the government l intend to APP
point competent ladies to fill all Of
fees suited to her sex. l have al
ways thought that indoor offices
should be filled by women-such
as post Offices, clerkship, copyist,
etc. Competency, backed by an
honest record, will be the best rec
concentrations for my approval and
Now, ladies, with President
willing to recognize your rights,
come forward for the indoor offices,
the men Of the South are too
gallant to contend with you, but
will retire in your favor. We will
see. JUSTICE.

The Post Office.

We notice the names of several
gentlemen whose appointment will
be urged for the postmastership in
this place. Capacity, honesty and
politeness in office should be, of
course, the essential requisites in
every applicant; but all things be-
ing equal it is bnt proper that those
who have faithfully struggled for
the success of the Democratic party
should now be rewarded. Mr.. 10.
mas Rosenthal, whom every one
knows, is a resident of Alexandria,
and without any disparagement to
other applicants, we think his ap-
pointment to this position would
meet the appreciation ofltle citizens
of this Town and Parish. His Fl.
deity to his party and the earnest
ness with which he has struggled
with the true Democrats of this Pa
IRISH entitle his application to a ia
vorable consideration at the hands
Of those who will perhaps dictate
and influence the appointment. We
have heard many express the desire
that Mr.. Rosenthal should succeed.
and this feeling is by no means
confined to his friends in Alex
andria.

MR.. A. q. Robinson's store,
near Lamourie, was burned to the
ground on Thursday morning. The
building and contents were a total
loss. Mr.. Robinson was insured in
the following named companies:

"A DEMOCRAT reporter visited
the cosy millinery establishment of
Mrs. NJ. L. Smith on yesterday, and
was very much surprised to note
the many improvements this lady
has made in her new store. Among
the many attractions there to be

show window, shortly to be arranged
and fitted up with the beautiful
specimens Of goods kept in stock.
Another "thing of beauty" that
caught the eye of We scribe, and by
the way the only one in Alexan-
dria, was the silk thread cabinet
just received from the Bedding Bro
theirs, of St. Louis, Mo-, and which
it is claimed contains sixty dozen
spools Of thread and silk Of differ
ent colors, together with four draw
ers filled with knitting silk, button
hole twist, etc. The cabinet is
made of the finest white oak, and is
artistically finished and otherwise
identified. The drawers have nick
ell plated knobs, and are drawn in
and out with ease. The value of the
articles stored away in the cabinet
is placed at S75. Mrs. Smith drew
our attention to several other beau
ties, and showed US around her new
store, but space forbids US making
of all we then and there
saw during our short stay. Suffice
it to say she has made a change for
the benefit of herself and patrons,
