SOMEWHAT ABOUT OUR PRESI-
DENIS.

George Alfred Townsend in the Role of 9
| Doubling Thomas Fis Lecture al
| Blacks Opera House Last Night.
The best lecture audience of the season was
within Blacks opera house last evening and
heard with much pleasure and, each according
| to his capacity, some profit "Gath's" talk,
in prose and poesy, on some of our great men
who have helped 10 make American history.
Speaking on behalf OF the Y. NJ. L. S. of his
congregation, Rev. DR.. Falconer, pastor of the
First Presbyterian church, introduced the
gentleman, connecting with the title he was
born to those Of popular, versatile and
ubiquitous" saying that be had written with
ability on every subject excepting missions,
and now came before us 10 speak under the
auspices of a missionary organization and
help along the cause in that manner. The
doctor spoke briefly of mission work, and
presented the speaker of the evening
Mr.. Townsend rests his manuscript on a
draped stand, breast-high, behind or beside
which he takes position. A student lamp
completes the outfit. George would have US
believe he is only AZ years old and gets hm-
self up tsultlessly, in full evening dress, to
carry out the deception. While not an orator
he is good speaker and at home in presence
of an audience-ot his Ohio constituents,
certainly.
Gath" says that the same sentiment which
actuated Thomas, the disciple, in refusing to
belive until he saw and placed his hand in
his Lords wounds, were his, in early life, in
his desire to know intimately of the inner
life of our lordly men. The result Of a wide
course of reading, personal intercourse with
those who had known them and in some
cases personal acquaintance of his own was
given in the points OF character and dsily
lite of each of our Presidents, from Washing
ton TO Buchanan. Those of later day and
generation he considers too much OF us vet to
admit of such attention without danger of
touching sensitive party feelings. 1t was ali
vastly entertaining and nobody was under
obligations to accept Gath's estimates if not
so disposed. None excepted to his mention
Of Buchanan as the most successful-tailure,
OF the age. The pleasure of the lecture was
spoiled for couple our Of lrish-American citi-
zens by his reference to some of the personal
habits of Washington in his earlier career.
In poetic measures, closing his discourse, Mr..
rownsent paid tribute to defeated candidates
for the Presidency. The names OF Clay and
Blaine were vigorously applauded and Han
cock but little less 50. To the memory of the
lamented Greeley was paid the most delicate
Iribute; touching in its just comprehension Of
his character.
People in the rear Of the house were greatly
disturbed by the conduct OF some iil-mannered
youths in the area back Of the railing and
here was much complaint because of it. 1t

Catching a Sea Serpent.

A strange adventure to boats crew
from the whaling bark Alaska in The
Arctic Ocean is recounted by the first
officer, George Johnson:
On the 10th of last October, when the
vessel was forty-six miles south OF
Alaska, an object was perceived in the
distance whose proportions and shape
indicated it to be a monster sea lion.
A boat was Immediately lowered and
placed in charge of First Officer John
son and five of the crew, named An
drew Nelson, William johnson, An
toine Niaga, George Marshfeld, and
Hans Stuten.
As the distance was decreased be-
tween the bark and the huge animal
they became convinced that it was the
sea serpent. When they came within
a few hundred yards the monster made
a dash for the boat. striking out its i'm
mense tail against the craft. Several
of the occupants were precipitated into
the water, but were rescued with diff
Guilty.
A harpoop and lance were fired into
the body of the beast. and it disappear
ed beneath the surface. Half an hour
later it reappeared. floating on the wa
ter, dead. 1t was secured with ropes
and towed to the vessel and hoisted on
deck.
There the capture was seen to be a
Misunderstanding thing. Its head
closely resembled that of lizard. 1t
measured thirty-three feet in length.
the tail alone being nine feet long.
The tail was cut off and stuffed and
brought to this city, and is now on ex-
