South Brooksville's s.Iniun Devil" il
still abroad Believe " hat you Will, here
is no dou bt that some strange vsriniut j.
haunting the vicinity, aud has hsanted II
for two years past. Reputable citizens
have seen the creature, aud tell nnwsver-
ing stories OF their experience. One Of
the fullest descriptions OF the auimal is
given hy S. Il, Blake, Of South Brooks
willie. He was driving from Brooksviile
to BROOKLYN one afternoon, when an ami
mai about the size OF a large Newfound
land dog came into the road ahead. Mr..
Blake al first thought it might be a bear,
SO be urged his horse sioDg. The animal
sat in the road with its fore paws up in
the fashion OF trained pug. As the
team drew near the animal quietly low
cred itself to all fours and rufiied up the
hair OF its neck and walked to the side OF
the road. Mr. Blake got a full broedside
view OF the creature aud Is sure that it is
not a bear. He has looked at every pict-
ure IN the natural history, aud no such
animal can be found. The animal has a
round head with pointed ears, long
neck and long body, With extremely long
hind legs, aud short forward ones; his
tail WIS out like railroad gate a foot
long, with long shaggy hair. Its color
was dirty lookiug-yeliow. The animal
showed no sign OF fear, and walked off
slowly as the team went by him.

The treasury receipts this month
will average nearly one million dol
lars per day for each business day of
the month. All of this is accom-
plished under the Dingley law, and
without any material revenue from
the duty on sugar, as the importers
are now using up their large stock of
that article which was imported be-
fore the new law went into effect 1t
is estimated that the revenue from
the duty on sugar, when the present
stock is exhausted, will average
s.. 600, 900 a month, which of itself
will be sufficient 10 bring the revenue
up to a sum equal to the ordinary ex-
penditures of the government. With
the increase which will come from
other articles, such as wool, wooden
goods, and other manufactures, with
which the country has been filled, it
is now perfectly apparent that the
revenue produced under this law will
be ample.

BONES OF EXTINCT ANIMALS.

Central Park Museum Secures Some
Rare Specimens.
New YORK, Aug. 30.-One hundred
Museum of Natural History in Central
Park are regarded with more than usual
satisfaction by the directors of the
museum. They are the bones of re-
markable specimens of extinct animals,
dug out of the earth many feet below
the Surface of Wyoming, Nebraska,
Colorado and Texas. They are the first
consignment OF the results of the
summers work of the numerous expe-
ditions sent out by the museum.
In these 100 cases there is one perfect
specimen of the flying lizard, that was
twelve feet long. Professor Mathews
said there were numerous other sections
of lizards, but only one complete speci-
men, which was taken from Kansas soil.
1t belonged to a period of ages before
man was dreamed of, and flew like bat
in the night and fed on fishes.
Professor Mathews, who had charge oi
an expedition to Kansas, has just re-
turned. On his way back he got into
Wyoming with Professor Wortman's
expedition. When that section returns
to New York in October there will be
brought along monster lizard over Sc
feet long. 1t is being dug out of Wyom.
ing rock now. When he left 35 feet ot
