One of the nightmares of John Ash.
toms ''Curious Creatures of Zoology is
the monk-fish or sea monk, he being in
debted to both Aldrovandus and Stow
for his account. If the old writers arc
reliable, these monsters were quite
common in the North sea, the British
channel and along the Irish coast up tc
the year 1414, when they are said tc
have become extinct through the raw
ages of n plague similar to that which
was affecting men at about the same
time. The superstitious of those days
believed that they were priests OF
monks who had been cursed for some
crime and condemned by God to an end

POOR HOTEL-KEEPING.
The Noble Work Done by Reformer In
COon-Skin Cap.

The Noble Work Done by Reformer In
Coon-Skin Cap.
One night year ago, writes New
York Sun correspondent, there were half
q dozen of us to go up to the village ho-
tel in the rickety old bus, and among
the crowd was a selemn-looking old
Ghap, dressed in very plain goods and
wearing coon-skin cap. It was the
typical village hotel landlord in the
bar-room, very fresh young man be-
hind the register, mighty little for sup
per, and that poorly cooked, and there
was more or less growing. The man
with the coon-skin cap was treated very
brusquely by the clerk, and the frowsy-
headed waiter girl didn't seem to care
whether he had any thing to eat or not.
He didn't say much, but it was evident
that he was mad.
After supper the landlord and s'Coon-
skim had private confab. When it was
opened the front door, and then turned
to the clerk, and said:
s'You git!''
''What do you mean?"
'sI have rented this hotel. Skip!"
The clerk put on his coat and hat and
walked out. Then "Coon-skin'' sent
word to the cook and waiter girl to be
out in half an hour, for the hostler to
be gone by midnight, and for the bar
keeper to vacate by noon the next day.
He kindly allowed us to stop over night,
bnt we had to get our breakfast at a
bakery. By noon the doors of the hotel
were nailed up, signs of CLOSED" posted,
and as we footed it down to the depot
the solemn old man thawed out sufii-
ciently to observe: -
'.I'm after seven more of 'em along this
lire of railroad, and if can shut 'em up
the public will be in my debt. have
figured it out to my entire satisfaction,
and 1 truly believe that three-fifths of
the crime in this country is melted by
poor hotel keeping"

peculiarities.
Let him tell his own story.
Born in Canada, he early enlisted
in the English army, and was sent
us lieutenant to India. where he
fought in several minor rebellions.
1t was always said of him that, while
he was brave, he had reason to be,
for he was impregnabe. This was
no doubt caused by the fact that he
possessed then as nc does now, re-
remarkable power. the like OF which
man in the eastern part of the
state is said to possess. He seems
to be a magnetic pc son, and can
allay pain by the laying on OF hands,
viz, he rubs gently the parts af-
fectcd, and pain ceases for some
time. He does not understand the
cause of it, but uses it freely upon
every occasion when he can.
Once, he says, an Indian officer
high up in tho service was wounded
by rifle ball, which lodged some.
