Mir. John Ohler and partner were fish ing with their large net on the beach five miles below Pablo when they saw an immense dark object about 100 feet ahead come slowly out of the ocean and walk leisurely up on the beach.
 They at once started to capture the monster, which proved to be turtle, the like of which was never seen on the beach before. It measured feet 6 inches in length and feet 10 inches across the back. It had Q beautiful black color on tho back. The belly is spotted like a rattlesnake, and it will weigh at least 500 pounds. The monster was hauled up by Mir. Dutton's team, and can be seeS at the Arcade.
 This no fish story, as will be seen by the following affidavits:
 "We, the undersigned citizens of Pablo, do certify that the above account of the capture of the said turtle, or whatever 1t may be, is true. H. M. Shockley, Charles Overt, John Ohler, Joseph Seither, R. B. McKinnick, F. X. Philippe, Walter II. Seeds.

DIR. STEINHAkT'S
OF LIFE !
THE GREAT yITALIZER I
Centenary Of tho GuiIlotIne.

Murderers and cutpurses from the dangerous districts about the Pantheon and Pere Lachaise have been known to compose and sing grimly humorous bal lads in honor of the guillotine when in their cups. These people will hardly, however, go so far as to celebrate the hundredth anniversary of the first execu- tion in Paris by the instrument of de- capitation which the "Constituante" adopted on the motion or Dr. Guillotin, who had seen the machine at work in Italy. The doctors idea in introducing the bcis de justice was purely philan- throphic, for he wanted to do away with the slow tortures inflicted upon crim- inals, On May 27, 1792, the first crim- inal, highwayman, was executed on the Place de Greve, now the Place de l'Hotel de Vile. This is the date given by Larousse, but other authorities state that Monday, April 20, was the tooth anniversary of the first execution by the guillotine in Paris.
 In any case the terrible instrument was destined to be busy during 1793 on the heads of persons more illustrious than the common highwayman named Peletier. For this reason some of the modern sympathizers with the Terror ists, supposing them to have the blood thirsty intention of celebrating the cen tenary of the guillotine, would be inclined to fix the date of their com memorative ceremony on Jan. 21 next. There can be no doubt about that day, as 1t would be the tooth anniversary of the execution of Louis XVI on the spot marked by the obelisk in the Place de la Concorde, as the spacious plot of ground once termed the Place Louis XIV, and afterward the Place de la Revolution, is nowadays known.-Paris Cor. London Telegraph.
