DIVER AND An OCTOPUS.

A man named Alexander McGovan
engaged in the Wellington New Zea-
land) Harber Improvement Works,
has just had remarkable encounter
with an octopus, says the Pail Mall
Gazette. McGovan went down in bis
diving dress for the purpose ofsctting
some large blocks under the water in
which piles had previously been driv-
en-. As McGovan was in the act Of
placing one of the blocks he was seized
by an immense octopus. The mon
ster fastened on to one of the piles al
the same time. McGovan at first
made an attempt to get clear, but the
mere he fought with the octopus the
more he found that it was useless,
as its grip became stronger. lie then
wisely desisted, and in few moments
had the satisfaction of knowing that
the octopus had released its grasp Of
the piles. This was no sooner done
than McGovan gave the signal TO be
hauled up. Ills signals were quickly
responded to and up went the diver
with the creature on his back. Its
legs measured nine feet long. McGo-
van certainly had narrow escape,
and it was only by bis discreet quiet
ness tint he turned The table on The
octopus.

An Old Carpetbagger on the situation

William Pitt Kellogg, Governor
Representative and U. ). Senator
takes little stock In current projects OF
converting the wicked Southern Dem
ocrats into good Southern Republicans.
He has watched with amusement the
efforts of certain Republicans North
and South to work up a plan for SO
recognizing prominent Democrats
In the South in the distribution as to
split the solid South in two. lie said
to me the other day :"IIarrison needn't
waste his time ON the solid South by
the distribution of patronage especially
by giving 1t TO prominent Democrats.
lie can get prominent Democv to
take office, of course; butthat II I'll he
will get. Every man of that sort
would only add onevote to the Repub-
licans, and he might take ten away.
at may as well be undertoed now
that the solid South will remain solid
until the race question Is settled. The
Republicans have nothing to hope for
in the South. | had William II. Hunt
made Attorney General of Louisiana,
Judge of the United States Court of
Claims, Secretary of the Navy and
Minister to Russia, yet he did not
change five votes. He could not even
induce his brother-in-law to vote the
Republican ticket, although he was
too Independent to suit the Democrat
ic managers. The whites will stand
together. That's all there is about
that.
aNow there Is another side to this
matter. The colorcd people have
something to say about 1t. They are
not talking about 1t any more than
Southern white Republicans, for most
of their leaders are aspirants for ap-
pointments. But ], who want no Of
flee. can tell you that all the negroes
are watching to see just what Harrison
will do in this matter with great inter-
est The colored vote elected Harrison
| If it had gone against him generally in
the doubtful States he would have
been defeated. Now they voted fol-
him simply from force of habit. The
administration of Cleveland has shak-

party.

EkuH Blown Away by Water.

New York, Jan. 5.--A New Orleans
special says: Atnoon Thursday Noah
stopp, thirteen-year-old white
boy, was killed at his fathers home,
On Lepage street. The manner of his
death is most unusual. All the rear
portion of his skull was blown away
by charge of hot water fired from an
old army nnsket, relic of the war.
The boy and his sister, younger
than himself, were playing together in
the kitchen. Securing an old musket
which had not been fired for twenty
seven years, he unscrewed the barrel
from the stock, filled the barrel with
water and placed the muzzle end In
the fire ofthe stove. Calling his little
sister ito come and hear the water in
the barrel boil,H he leaned over and
placed his ear to the brecch of the
weapon. As he did so. the explosion
occurred, and the boy was instantly
killed, being blown several feet away
and having his head nearly carried
off. The barrel contained a charge
which had been placed in ii during the
war. The boy was not aware of this,
aud was merely in search of fun.

ture and the market finally closed dull and firm
at something better than the opening figures.
