Tie Mark of Death.

A strange and hideous monstros-
ity exists.in Portland in the person
of six ,year-old boy, the lineaments
of whose features and the pallor of
whose countenance have an exact
similitude to those of a corpse.
During critical period previous to
the chi!d's birth his mother, receiv-
ing intelligence of the dangerous
illness of her father, hurried to his
bedside only to find, him corpse.
The shock to her in her delicate con-
dition was great. and when the
child was born it had the mark of
death on its face.
The boy though now six years old
is very small and wIthered up and
has shrill piping voice. His nose
is pinched, his eyes and cheeks sun
ken; on the temples and beneath
the eyes the skin is discolored, while
the whole countenance has the dull
pallor of corpse. the hands, feet
and limbs are very small and bony.
The child is bright and precocious
and answers questions with an in
telligence that is rather startling.
However, the same pallid, set ex-
preston of countenance always
greets the eye. He never smiles or
changes his facial expression under
any provocation. A person not ac-
quainted with his history would
suppose him to be in the last stages
of some wasting disease, but the
father says the boy was never unwell

Willamette Eels.

One of the most novel sights
in the spring of the year, at the rocks
of the Willamette falls, is the swarms
of gyrating eels. They are friskiness
itself, and show low order of in
telligence. If you put your hand in
the water over the cells, or spit on it,
instantly they are gone. But poke
a stick down among the snaky things
and they will not notice it. The
sense of smelling seems to be their
main guard against danger. Like
salmon they do their level best to dart
up the rocks in order to ascend the
river, and with good success says
n fisherman: 81 have seen as
many as q hundred bushels of eels
hanging on the rocks at one time by
the suckers of their mouths. They
would wiggle and flutter their tails
and by the momentum thus Oh
tanned, letting go with their suckers,
jump up about six inches higher.
L caught about forty barrels last sea-
son that 1 salted and sold to the
Columbia fishermen for bait l
picked them off the rocks with
fishhook tied to pole. l started
at the bottom row of cells and would
pick off barrels of them. The upper
rows haden't sense enough. to per-
ceive the enemy. / have caught |
eels in the hcadwaters of the San
tam, in the Cascade mountains.
Suppose they had swum up from
the Willamette"
