BELIEVES IN SEA SERPENTS.
Monster Deep-Sea Dweilers That Possess
Extraordinary Powers.

do I believe in sea serpents" re-
peated Eugene G. Blackford, formerly
state fish commissioner, to q reporter
for the New York Times. 81 certainly
do. OF course, I don't believe in all the
details of sea serpents as seen at the
summer hotels. 1 do believe there are
huge marine monsters which appear
like serpents, and cause these tales
about sea serpents to be told"
"How is it that none of these has ever
been captured?"
Their enormous size and swiftness,,
their extraordinary powers, and the
fact that they are shy and seldom ap-
pear"
"Why are their bodies not cast
ashore?"
''They are probably deep-sea dwell
ers. The bodies of the deep-sea fish are
not cast ashore, except on rare and
abnormal occasions. For instance, Is
years ago about 100000 deep-sea fish
were found floating dead on the surface
of the ocean. 1t was supposed that
submarine explosion had killed them.
Deep-sea fish cannot get to the surface
under ordinary conditions, or, if they
do, they cannot get down again."
Wouldn't that keep the sea serpent
up if he once came up?"
mot necessarily. He may be con-
structed on different plan. think
the sea serpent is a survival of the great
reptiles of the Plesiosaurus species. 1t
is quite possible that, though dweller
of the deep, he may be able to come to
the surface of the sea and go down again
at his pleasure"

REMARKABLE LONGEVITY.
Family of Eight Whose United Ages
Foot Up to 669 Years.

n ramny OF Eight whose united Ages
Foot Up to 669 Years.
The most remarkable instance of
longevity in the history of the Nut
meg state, perhaps, is noted in the
Kimball family of the town of Preston,
one member of it, Mrs. Abby S.
Cook, who is passing the closing years
of her life in the home of her daugh-
ter, Mrs. William H. Cook, of Franklin
street, this city, having celebrated the
other day the Goth anniversary of her
birthday. Mrs. Cook is the widow of
the late Isaac H. Cook of Preston. A
large number of her relatives, friends
and neighbors called at her home on her
anniversary day and congratulated her,
and the venerable lady, who is still
hale and active and of cheerful spirit,
entertained them.
Mrs. Cook is a member of a family
of eight children, sons and daughters
of Elisha and Lucy Lathrop Kimball,
all of whom are alive and in vigorous
health, with the exception of Mrs. Sybil
A. Branch, the eldest, who died two
years ago at Roxbury, Mass, aged 90
years Az months.
Here are the names and ages of the
surviving members of the band: Abby
s. Cook, 90 years old; Sarah Green,
Iowa, So; Sarah L. Brown, Chicago, IS;
Nelson L. Kimball, Iowa, So; Frances
De Wolf, Chicago, 80; Lucius T. Kim
ball, Iowa, 7s, and Rev. Nathaniel Kim
ball, Iowa, &c. The united ages of the
brothers and sisters are 669 years, in
GLIDING that of Mrs. Branch.

To Tell a Mans Profession.

Curious as it seems there is dis
tinct relation between mans pursuits
and the color of mans hair. An unus-
ual proportion of men with dark,
straight hair enter the ministry; red
whiskered men are apt to be given to
sporting and horse flesh, while the tall,
vigorous, blonde man, lineal descend
ant of the Vikings, still contributes o
large contingent to travellers and emf

LUSCIOUS WATERMELONS.
A Brunette Statesman Tells How the
Melon Should BE Eaten.

Melon Should Be Eaten.
"You want to know something about
the watermelon crop, and not politics.
Well, bless your soul for that; it is a
relief from the awful monotony of cam
paign talk.
Alabama watermelons will be as
good this year as they ever were," says
the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, "and per-
haps better, but to eat a luscious melon
is most interesting. Never cut a wa
termelon; it spoils it. Let it drop and
then pick up the pieces and eat them
with your fingers. just imagine biting
chunk out of the ripe red heart; the
heart that sparkles all over with little
globules of honey water, and when you
get it in your mouth 1t evaporates and
disappears, but leaves there the sweet
est taste that drives care away and
makes the whole world sunshine. But,
of course, I'll admit that to establish
that feeling for any length of time it
is necessary to eat more than one
melon.
Eyes, I have eaten the hearts of nine
melons without stopping, but reckon
I could finish several more. When I
made that record the supply gave out
and had to stop.
people in the north, understand, do
not eat the seeds. If they had a stom-
ach like mine, made in the boiler works,
they could eat most anything, and I
am particularly fond of the seeds, as
they are the most nutritious"

HIBERNICISMS,
Two Irish" Bulls Not at All ChargeabIe

The Spectator records two eli
bernicisms" which are not chargeable
to Irishmen. One of them was recent
ly uttered by the captain of a ''boys'
brigade"-a popular military organiza-
ton in certain English parish. He
addressed the corps on the subject of
the death of Prince Henry of Batten-
burg, and in ending his sympathetic
remarks chose an appropriate hymn to
close the service.

lines in solemn silence!"
The other remark was made by cler-

nature of earthly things.
"Look," he said, "at the great cities
of antiquity; where are they now?
Why, some of them have persisted so
completely that it is probable they

There is sorrow in Olivia now. The
creeks and ponds running in or near
the town present a saliniferous ap-
pearance and their ba ks are lined
with huge chunks of rock salt. The
tears from the eyes of the Olivia coun-
ty seat boomers have turned the
streets of Olivia into saline mud of
an impossible nature. The irrepress-
IDLE Blandin weeps over the Olivia
tombstone, side by side with the To-
quacious Kelsey. Fighting General
Pat Kerwin is weeping the first tear
since he was thrown on to this cold
world. Around his eyebrows the sa-
line brine has formed in a manner
that makes him appear many years
older. Sam Miller-ah, poor Sam
how has the mighty fallen. Sam has
been weeping as though his heart was
breaking ever since the cruel man
date was handed down by the Su-
preme Bench. Sans very residence
and business blocks have turned into
salt aud Sam, amid tears, sees them
disappearing from his sight. Even
Will French weeps bitterly. In the
distant southern horizon these Olivia
ties gaze. A constant imaginable mi
rage brings forth to their hazy vision
the old antiquated town of Beaver
Falls. There stands the court house,
the object of their tears! Sad spec
tacle! There she proudly stands,
"a filled urn within her withered
hands," a Waterloo for Pat and Sam,
and Kels and Bland, and all the rest!

GREAT GENERALSnlp.

Whatever may be the outcome of
the Cuban struggle for liberty the
world must take off it's hat to the
leaders of the Cuban insurgents. Not
over year ago the rebellion COM
menced in the province of Baracoa
under the generalship of Jose
Marti. Steadily the patriotic army
advanced from this eastern point of
the Island to the west. The brave
Marti fell struggling for liberty but
his sword was picked up by Maceo and
Gomez and westward they marched
with their troops, gathering additional
strength, routing the armies of Cam
pos, crossing the Spanish dead line
and now they with their troops, hav-
ing subdued the province of Pinar del
Rio, the most western province, are
around Havana. They have driven
the humane Campos from the COM
mand of the Spanish forces and Spain
has now on the high seas a general en-
route for Cuba-a general noted for
butchery and deeds of ancient war
fare. We believe that the Cuban
patriots will ultimately triumph, but
triumph or fall the march of their
armies from the east to the west over
the whole of the Island will be a his
torical monument to the Cuban gen
erals that will stand with equal fame
alongside those of Grant, Hancock,
Garfield and other great American
generals.

TO TRAITOR GODkIN.

HE GAZETTE is in receipt of a cir
cular from the editor of the New York
Evening Post requesting the publica-
ton OF Lord Balfour's speech on the
British-Venezuela trouble. The in
tention of the article is to kill Ameri-
can patriotism for British benefit. The
editor of the New York Evening Post
is the alien Godkin. 1t is alleged that
his paper is owned and controlled by
batch of British capitalists, of which
Godkin is the tool, and the purpose of
which is to encourage British aggres-
sion and the smothering of American
patriotism. Godkin himself is an
alien and has no American patriotism
in his veins. Every issue of his British
sheet is filled with libels on American
citizenship, and his immaculate Eng
llsh gall, heretofore supposed to be
confined to his paper, has blossomed
out in requests to country newspapers,
asking them to assist in his traitorous
act OF running down the American
spirit OF patriotism, the American
constitution, and everything else that
IS American. 1t is wonder to US that
this alien is allowed to circulate or
print his paper in New York. We are
surprised that the patriotic people of
that city have not done as they did
with few newspapers of that city
during the civil war-either made
them change front or cease the pub
LEGATIONS of their treacherous sheets.
HE GAZETTE is confident that few, if
any, American country weekly news
papers, will allow Larry Godkin to
edit their paper in any manner what
ever.

OFFICIAL SALARIES,
generals.

If our esteemed and newsy contem-
porary, The Lamberton Leader, would
just have taken time to inquire of
County Attorney Clague as to
whether the money received by the
clerk from the county was the only
source of income of that official, we
are sure he would not have written in
the strain on exhibition in his last
ssue. He would have, if correctly
informed, ascertained that the clerk
largest fees or income is derived from
the filing of legal documents, such as
complaints, notes of issue, etc., the
issuing of licenses and so on, and
that his salary or income amounted to
between $1,000 and $1,000 per year.
If he sees the!report of the Register
of Deeds and Sheriff for 1895 he will
see that their fees amount to between
$1,000 and $1,000 per year.
But The GAZETTE does not confine
itself to Redwood county. 1t speaks
generally. It knows that the abuse is
going on in nearly every county in
Minnesota. It believes that the re-
rorm should be general. 1t is aware
that the reform probably cannot be
brought about under the regime of
any of the present Office holders, un-
less life lease is given them, but it
contends that the next legislature
should take step in that direction
and that members of the house to be
elected this fall should be elected on
the principle of salary reform more
than anything else.
We can point to SO or 100 good
men in this county at the present time
who would be glad to fill any of these
Offices at from $1,000 to $1,000 per
year. They are good and prominent
men and are able to give as good a
bond as any of the present incumbents.
