He Not Crazy.

For some days a special agent of the Department of Justice has been in Fort Smith looking up the record of C C. Waller. with a view to q prosecution for using the mails for fraudulent purposes. It is claimed that letters sent out by Wal leg in his effort 10 boost the Southern Bank and Trust Company contained fraudulent representations, and for that reason he is amenable to the postal laws T. is also stated that two prominent physicians of Dallas have examined Mr Waller, who is in the Texas state insane asylum, and have pronounced him sane. If that be true. he will likely be brought to Fort smith for trial in connection with criminal charges against him on ac- count of the collapse of the Southern Bank and Trust Company.

LIFE IN OCEAN,
EFotessor of Cambridge (Eng.) Uni. versity Tells Some New and
 Interesting Facts.

J. Stanley Gardiner. of CambrIdge university, has been exploring the ihdian ocean and gives it as his opin. lon that at one time there was land connection between Ceylon and Mad. agascar. But it is in describing the wonders of the deep that his report grows most interesting. "A very con. siderable variety of deep-sea fish was brought up" he says. At least half the number we secured seemed quite new specimens, and, I believe. are not described in any textbook. Some ot these had enormous eyes. some only rudimentary eyes, the size of pins head. while some had no eyes at all.
 One of the most interesting dis coVerles we made was that floating life is exceedingly abundant at all depths down to about 1.200 fathoms In seas 2,500 fathoms deep. By float ing life I mean animals which form the food of whales and deepeeean hsh. and which up to the present nave been believed to live on or very close to the surface a variety of enormous squids was fished out as we'll as jelly fish and gigantic prawns fully six inches long Some of these latter were blind, while others had huge eyes, but nearly all of them had phosphorescent organs, which would naturally be due to the fact that they live at a depth where al most total darkness prevails.
 The blind varieties had enormous feelers, or tentacles, some of them extending to twice the length ot their own bodies. Some forms, such as the water flea, which is only about the size of pins head in surface water, we discovered six or ten times that size in GOO or TOO fathoms."

It was after he fell that Bishop fired the shot which killed Eastridge. the ball pierc ing the heart. Both men died in a few minutes.

Good News for Old Soldiers.

The increase from three-fourths of mill to mill tax for the Confederate pension fund has caused a large in- crease in the amount of money raised Tor this fund during the past year The amount raised this year for this fund IS estimated at s250,O00, an in- crease of s75.000 to $S0,000 over the amount raised a year ago, or in pre-. vious years. The valuation on which taxes was collected last year was larger than for any previous year, and the increase Of a quarter of a mill increased the fund more than a third for this reason Last year the amount raised was less than $200 ,000, and in former years the fund was less than this.
