SACRAMENTO, Aug. Ell. R. Williams,
a well-known rancher who is located near
Pleasant Grove formerly GOuge Eye, about
thirteen miles north of the city,
was in town yesterday, and told re-
markable story to Record Union reporter.
According to his statement the oft-seen
but never captured sea serpent is not
only not a myth located in some foreign
sea, but is reality, and may be
seen right here within few miles OF
Sacramento. "The country around there is
in great state of excitement over 1t, said
Williams, land they are all afraid to
venture far from their homes. There
are plenty of reputable citizens among
nv neighbors who have seen it. The ser
pent has been seen several times in the
overflow east of Pritchards Lake and very
close to the Spanish ranch, and again on
land, where it seems to be as much at home
as in the water. Those who saw it IN the
water say it is over forty feet in length and
fully seven feet in diameter near the center
OF its body. 1t has 4 great flat head and
q pair of jaws that, when distended.
could with ease admit full grown
man. Those who saw it in the water
describe it as being very rapid
swiu me carrying its head at times about
eight Ieet above the surface of the water.
Several parties have been made up to
capture the monster, but when the
time arrived for them to start out they
all backed out. One man. however, pro-
fessional hunter named st. Clair, has
started out, accompanied by another mars
with the intention Of killing the serpent.

There have been many articles in
the papers during the past few
months advocating the adoption Of
the clover flower as the national
flower, but the most unique is the
following by Colonial Robert G,
Ingersoll:
"a wonderful thing is clover. 1t
means honey and cream; that is to
say, industry and contentment; that
is to say, the happy bees in perfumed
fields, and in the cottage gate, old
boss, the bountiful, chewing salts.
factions cud in that blessed twilight
pause that like benediction falls
between all toll and sleep. This
clover makes me dream of happy
hours, OF childhood's rosy cheeks, of
dimpled babes, of wholesome, loving
wives, of springs and brooks and vio-
lets, and all there is of painless Joy
and peaceful human life. A wonder
full word is clover. Drop the % and
you have the happiest of mankind.
Take away the 90 and r. and YOU
have the only thing that makes a
heaven out of this dull and barren
earth. Cut off the r. alone, and there
remains warm, deceptive but that
sweetens, the breath and keeps the
peace in countless homes whose mas.
tiers frequents clubs"

According to Prof. Mason, relics OF
Indian sugar troughs aud various 9th
er implements of undoubted use in
obtaining sugar from the sap of the
maple tree have been found. The
professor also says that the Indians
tapped the silver maple aud ash leafed
maple as well as the common maple
sugar tree, Sugar not only entered
into the food of the Indians in local..
ties where these trees were found,
nut many curious customs and reie-

The rapidity with which flies pass
through the air is not likely TO be
appreciated by those who see only
with what apparent ease they do il.
Flies will keep up with fast horse,
and that, too, without lighting on
him. IL an open express car, through
which the wind blows, they hold their
places, flying this way and that with,
out hitting against the sides. They
must, therefore, go faster than horse
or car.
