AlIigntor IncubntorS.

Quite business has sprung up in
Florida of Matching alligator eggs by
an artificial incubator. 1t seems, says
the ST. Louis Globc-Dcmocrat, that the
demand for alligators was so lively that
the natives could not catch enough to
supply tho market. Some genius con-
ceivcd the idea of saving himself the
trouble of splashing round in the water
after young alligators, SO he got lot of
eggs, put them in an incubator, and
Matched out rs fine n lot of young rep
tiles as any one would wish to sec.
They were as wicked in disposition as
the oldest and uglicst gator that ever
scared q picl1aninny or dcvourcd n yell
low dog. lie fed them ut first Oh oatmeal,
and after n few days of Scotch dict
taught them to cat meat by choking
them until they opened their mouths
and then dropping n bit down their
throats. The idea Of raising gators for
the market took we'll, and now several
incubators arc always at work hatch
ing out tho ugly creatures, and half the
little tarliics in the villages are polting
in the sand banks all day long getting
eggs for the artificial hatchcrics.

KAiaxAuA's LOVE OF SPORT.

How tho Monarch Undertook 10 Train
Sorno Native Onrsmen.
The king was very fond of sport, says
the San Francisco Post, and was never
happier than when consorting with
the athletes who wandered to his island
while returning from the orient by
way Of San Francisco. The fever for
boat racing in Australia caught his at
tention, and he conceived the idea of
introducing that fascinating sport at the
islands.
He had only to express a wish for it
md the oarsmcn among the white pop
ulation challenged n crew of. the natives
to four-oarcd boat race. The articles
of agreement were at once drawn up,
the stakes deposited and date set.
The king made up his mind that ttie
natives would be beaten if he ;iId not
become their trainer. He vas so en-
thusiastic in the matter that he would
allow no one but himself to carry out
all the preparations for the contest.
he selected seven of the most sllillful
scullcrs among his subjects and placed
them in training according to his idea
of the most approved manner. He told
them that they might be as strong as
mules, but if thy did not train their
wind they would never win the race.
He then ordered them to be up every
morning at sunrise and await him at
the gate of the palace.
The next morning he was in the sad
die in time to meet his crew. lie car
ricd n long blacl1snalle whip. His
orders to the scullcrs were: You must
run as hard rs you can until l tell you
to stop, and if you dor't-" lie
cracked his whip as q forciblc finish to
AS threat.
lie ran them for three miles the first
morning, and increased the distance
evcru succeeding day. In the after
noon he administered to each of them q
; liberal dose Of physic. In the evenings
he trained them in the boat. He over
/ trained them, and they lost the race be-
fore half the course was covered.
KalaiSaua was passionatcly fond of
| sailing yacht. He owned one which
carried too much sail for any wind
, greater THAI Il strong breeze.
| One day he sailed much farther out to
sea than he r5ually did. lie was lazily
+ watching the multitude of hungry
sharks win s1v"rmc1 around his boat
when S.. 4 Ulcw up. lie shortened
sail as qu.';:v as possible, and every
time he lool.- u o.. &c water he saw the
! sharks watc---..s him. When he was
carefully WORKING his way back to the
island the sharks continued to watch
| every movement of his arm at the helm,
as though debating the chances of his
escape from their jaws. He fooled
them, though; but he afterward lost all
desire for yachting.

HOLD THE FORT.

A large majority Of the taxpayers
of the county will DO pleased to learn
that the Board Of County Commie-
sioners, by the advice OF the District
Attorney, have taken the ball by the
horns, so to speak, and issued their
proclamation to the effect that they
will not in volve the county in pos
sible enormous obligation to substitute
q railroad for the especial benefit Of q
fow Individuals, at the expense of the
agricultural and other interests OF the
county. Toe Act authorizing u rail-
road in Elko county provides that If
any of the bonds provided for in the
Act remain unpaid at the end OF
twenty-five years, they shall not con.
stitute cause Of action against the
county, but shall be declared Eull and
void; but there is nothing to prevent
Il future Legislature from amending
the law by substituting fifty in place
Of twenty-five years. The fact that
Section four provides for the pay
msnt OF both principal aud interest
from the revenues derived from the
road in taxes, which anyone knows is
an impossioliity, creates grave sus-
picion tEut it Is the intention OF tho
promoters or the scheme to secure an
amendment, at some future time,
which will make the county respou-
slble for their payment. The claim
that the Only object is to exempt the
roLa from county taxation for twonty-
five yeais is entirely too thin for any
onoi except, perhaps, an Elko county
legislator, when it is evident that
tho sans object could have boon az
compished by issuing 4 per cent.
boIlIs to the extent OF 81 600 per mile
for eve.y mile of road in the county.
Although the faith OF tho State OF
NevIlI Is pie lgol thai the Act
SAIL nsver be repealed nor 80 modi-
tiod Dis III any way to impair the
security Of those who shall hold or
purchase the said bonds, the faith of
tho State is not pledged that the law

THE MONITOR FLEET.
A Conference Between the Mayor. Colonel

Purcell and Commander Graham.
Some days ago Mayor Ellyson wrote to Cap
tain j. d. Graham aud requested that he name
a convenient time for conference regarding
the removal of the monitors. Captain Graham
invited the Mayor and Colonel John B. Pur-
cell TO dine with him. The Captain sent up
his steam launch, and the gentlemen went
down at six O'clock.
Mayor Ellyson was seen upon his return
last night. aud. when asked regarding the IN.
terview. spoke substantially as follows: Our
conference WAS very satisfactory. Captain
Graham received US very kindly indeed and
entertained US with charming hospitality. lie
assured US that II we could furnish him with
sufficient anchorage nearer Richmond, where
he could be within the jurisdiction OF our
police protection, that he would write "a
strong letter 10 the Secretary OF the Navy.
requesting the retention of the fleet here. as
he had done for It's removal.
He said that he considered this place more
desirable in all respects than City Point, and
would certainly be glad to remain II the above
named conditions were complied with
Mayor Ellyson further said that he he'd
written TO Senator Barbour and requested
him to see the Secretary of the Navy and ask
that no action be taken looking toward re-
moval of the feet until the proper authorities
here might have an opportunity OF stating
their case The Senator replied that he had
seen the Secretary, and that commission
would be appointed TO investigate the mat
ter.
The Mayor stated that he had investigated
the matter Of suitable anchorage and had
consulted both tho harbor master. Captain
John A. Curtis, and Colonel @. 2. r. Bur
gwyn. and that there were several desirable
locations between the city and the Chesapeake
and Ohio Company's wharves.
As Captain Graham promises hearty co.

an anchorage, thereis no doubt that proper
place will be found and the feet permanently
