Monsters Of the Deem.

A thrasher shark caught off the New
England coast recently measured over
fifteen feet in length. 1t stove in a
plank of the dory, nearly upsetting the
boat, and destroyed net valued at $780,
A costly catch.
The shell of fossil turtle Of a tertiary
time unearthed in India and placed in
the British museum, was nearly nine feet
in length and twenty-seyen in width. It's
feet were as large as those of rhinoceros,
and when alive the animal must have
been over twenty feet long and have
weighed several tons.
The largest living animal is the erorqual
whale, one hundred and two feet in
length the smallest, the amoeboid FORMS
Whales and elephants live to the greatest
age, 1870; May flies the shortest, only a
few hours. The most intelligent of the
lower animals, ahead even of the Austria
lian bushmen and others, are the ants.
The contents of a shark caught at Vir-
ginia, Fla, show that these animals are
valuable scavengcrs. The items were as
follows one complete horn of an OK,
with part of skull attached, three hoofs,
two tomato cans, quantity of old rope,
twenty-seven crawfish, and the remains
of part of horse. A slaughter house
in the vicinity was the explanation.
Among the deep sea fishes one has
been found, the Bathyophis ferox, living
off the Australian coast at a depth of
three and half miles. 1t was totally
blind, but provided with oval luminous
spots along its lower surface, and on the
head. These are supposed by some natu-
ralists to have as much the functions OF
eyes as those of the mollusks.
Large fishes are nearly always accom-
panied by the remora, a fish that has a
sucking disk upon its head. When tired
they turn over on their backs and attach
themselves, and are thus carried along by
the fish. The remora of the sword-fish il
remoropsis brachypterus, that of the
spear-fish is rhombochirus osteochir
other kinds are found upon sharks, tur
ties, and even on the sheepshead.

Mhr Inc had Never Seen the KIng.

In Bavaria, says the Philadelphia
Press, it is illegal to criticise, even in a
friendly spirit, the actions Of the king.
Soon after the termination of the Franco
German war, a story was told Of a meet
ing in the streets Of Munich between the
king of Bavaria and wounded soldier,
during which the king, finding that he
was not recognized, expressed his sur
prise. 'sHow could know your maies-
ty9n said the soldier, in explanation.

this anecdote may probably be attributed

SAN FRANCISCO REPORT.
The report Of j. V. Cochran Il Co, of
san Francisco, for the week ending SEN
tember 18th, Ii as follows: The market
continues very dull, and prices are in a
measure nominal. There have been no
sales OF consequence in this market
since our last repert. The New York
market is in much the same condition
as our own. Brewers are holding back
from making any purchases, hoping
thereby to create an anxiety on the part
OF growers to put their crop on the mar
ket at present or lower prices, but the
Indications are that their game will not
work. Reports from the hop growing
districts IN New York State show that
growers are preparing to hold by storing
their hops, and, when necessary, getting
advances to pay the cost of picking,
ETC., fully believing that, owing 10 short
crops In New York and New England,
later on they must go higher. One fact
10 moral certainty, that the hops will
all be needed for the brewing season of
1884 and 1896, and ere long brewers will
be forced on the market TO buy.
THE WISCONSIN, CROP.
MILWAUKEE, Wis, Sept. lex J udge
Small, who has hop farm in Waukesha
county. where he lives, reports that the
task of picking the late hops has just
been finished. The crop is very poor in
quantity, being only about quarter of
what it should have been, but the quail
ity is fair. The hop bugs and the honey
dew are responsible for the small crop.
News from all parts of the country is to
the effect that this years crop ia very
small, not averaging more than half as
much as last years.

A CARD.


EDITOR POST -IHTELI.IGESCER
As there seems to be misapprehen-
son in the minds of many ~ to the
facts in the matter of the 1ibbetts
proxy-and as but one side of the story
has been given To the publio-l think II
snot only due Mr.. Tibbetts, but myself
also, that make this statement.
The day previous to the assembling Of
the Republican Territorial Convention
Mr.. Tibbetts being delegate thereto
and being at the time sick and unable
10 attend, sent me his open proxy, 40
companied by certain verbal instruc-
tons. although, az stated in his card. be
we'll knew my views 10 be rs his own
strongly in favor of land forfeiture.
Having myself been defeated as can
didate for delegate to the Territorial
Convention, | could not consistently act
as libbeits' proxy, so IL was given 60
Governor L. p. Ferry, with the instruc
lions, well knowing that on all import
ant questions-espeoially those affecting
land forfeiture--he would vote precisely
90 MIR. Tibbetts, or as | myself would
have voted.
The record of the Convention shows
That Governor Ferry, ON each and every
question of land forfeiture, voted
squarely with the King county delega'
ton. First for absolute forfeiture. which
measure was defeated, and then for the
amendment, the adoption of which he
himself seconded Neither Mr.. Tib.
ocits, or any other member of the Con
sention, could have done more, and
really cannot see that there was any im
propriety, much less ''treachery," as
some have been pleased to term 1t, IN
vovernor Ferry having represented Mr.
iiobetts in the Convention.
