A STRANGE BEAST.
Only Two of Them Have Ever Been Seen
Nature.

Only Two of Them Have Ever Been Seen.
Nature.
The HaYre Aquarium has Just put on
exhibition one of the most curious, and
especially one of the rar st, of animals
the prehensile-tailed coendou (Synethere
prehensilis). II was brought from Vene-
zuela by Mr.. Equidszu, the commissary
of the steamer Colombo. Brehm says
that never but two have been seen--one
OF them at the Hamburg Geological Garden
aud the other at London. The cue under
consideration, then, would be the third
specimen that has been brought alive to
Europe. This animal, which is allied to
the porcupine, Is about three and u
hall feet long. The tail alone is one and
half feet in length. The entire body,
save the belly and paws, is covered with
quilts, which absolutely hide the fur
Upon the back, where these quilts are
longest (about four inches), they are
strong cylin drical, shining, sharp-pointed,
| white ut the tip and base, and blacklist
| brown in the middle. The animal, in adj
ditiop, has long and strong mustaches
The paws, anterior and posterior, have
four fingers armed with strong nails
| which are curved anu nearly cylindrical
at the base. Very little is known about
the habits of the animal. All that we do
know is that 1t passes the day in slumbeI
at the top of tree and that it prowls
about at night, its food consisting chiefly
| OF leaves OF all kinds. When 1t wishes tC
descend from one branch ts another II
suspends itself by the tall and lets go OF
the first only when 1t has firm hold OF
the other. One popularity Is that the ex
| tremity OF the dOrsal part OF the tail il
pi ehensile. This part Is deprived OF
quilts for length OF about six inches
The coendou does not like to be dis
turbed When 1t Is IL advances toward the
intruder and endeavors TO Brighten him
by raising its quilts all over its body. The
natives OF Central America eat Its flesh and
employ its quilts for various domestic
purposes The animal Ii quite exten.
siveiy distributed throughout South
America 1t is found In Brazil, Vene,
zuela, Columbia, Guiana and in some OF
the lesser Antilles, such as Trinidad, Bar
BADGES, Saint Lucia exc.

Harry Burke is still in the field in the First
ward. He is not the kind To draw out. Few
die and none resign"
II is stated that f. A. Smith of the Seventh
ward was never u Republican, but has always
been consistent Democrat.
1t has been rumored that Prof. Moore OF
the state university will be the Democratic
choice tomorrow nightin the Second ward.
That either Daniel Waite orc. c. Hashow
will be nominated on the Democratic ticket in
the Third ward is the prevailing opinion.
The Jumbo club will hold n special meeting
this evening at No EOS South Washington
avenue. Good speakers will be in attend
ance.
The struggle for the Democratic nomina-
ton in the Seventh ward has about narrowed
down 10 three, namely, Aid. Noerenberg, Mr..
Dewire and Mr.. Smith.
j. % Brien of the First ward denies in toto
that he ever had anything To do with the
kavanagh boom. and that he ever wrote the
cald which appeared in the Journal denounc-
ing John Norton.
Mr. Holmes. representing the lower end OF
the ward. will probably be Ed Johnsons only
opponent in tomorrow nights Republican
caucus in the Second ward. He is also an
attorney, bright man and popular.
The Democratic city Committee met last
night and discus, ed t e propo ed rules gov
erning Gaze Ses, as published in the GLOBE.
The ctmmtte' decided 10 re commend the
adoptO o. the rul, al The c T. convention.
The most unanimous feeling prevailed.
Since A. Il. Chestnut of the Eighth ward
has cons ented 10 become candidate for
alderman there has been a great revolution
of political sentiment in that section of the
city. IL had been considered that the nomi-
nation of Aid. Lawrence was foregOne con-
clusion, and a general apathy was the result.
There were many Republicans who could not
swallow Mr.. Lawrence's prohibition proclivi-
ties, but not seeing any way clearly out of
the difficulty they had decided TO remain
away from the primaries and likewise the
polls on election day. Now they are active
and are working tooth and nail for Mr.. Chest
nut who is unquestonably one of the most
popular citizens of the Eighth.
