Kingston, Jan. 26.-Gov. Swetten- ham has written another letter 10 Admiral Davis in Cuba. thanking him for his aid The governor also ex- presses regret that his scruples would not allow him to accept more of the admiral's help. He says that he trusts that on future occasion he will have the pleasure of meeting Admiral Davis, and of according him the hon. or due to his rank and station.
 The people here are still incensed over tho action of Swettenhan, tn re- fusing further help from Adn:ial Da- wis. It is proposed now to call sn indignation meeting to express dis approval of Swettenham's course. The governor says he does not wish to encourage laziness by giving free food and money 10 people. He says they must work.
 The governor is now eAarrslling with the municipal authorities over tho clearing of the streets. He s0ys the authorities are incapable and he is persistently rude to all the officials under him. He seems overwhelmed and has acted strangely all through this crisis. He has threatened to dissolve the city council.
 Business is being resumed. The people are very hopeful, as the in- dustries and resources of the island arc uninjured. Many of the people are still camping out. Blankets and lumber are urgently needed. If sent from America to the islands govern ment they will be turned back, but the mayor of Kingston declares that he will accept them despite the action of Gov. SwetteDham.

London, Jan. a5.-Thers is good reason to believe that Gov. Swetten- ham Of Jamaica has forwarded his resignation to the colonial office. Tho officials there say they are not pre- pared either to confirm or deny the report but they admit having received telegrams of confidential character from the government It has been fully expected here that solution of the difficulty would be found in Swet- tenham's resignation and the reply to inquiries received at the colonial office tended to confirm the report that the governor had intimated his willingness to retire from his pest. It has been freely stated in the colon- ial and other government offices that it was quite impossible for Swattsn- ham to continue m office, not only because of the incident involving the withdrawal of the American warships from Kingston, but also on account of the protests against his conduct from the inhabitants of Kingston.

Invitation to Franklin.

Several amusing incidents in the life
of Benjamin Franklin have been
handed down to us, many OF which eN-
hibit his rare Wit and some few indi-
cate the humor OF his contemporaries.
During the course of an extended
journey. Franklin was obliged to await
an unusually long time for his stage
The day was very warm and suitry
and not a little dusty, but all this did
not ruffle his philosophical temper.
The stage at last arrived, and as the
door opened Franklin was much
pleased to see an old friend. whom he
cordially greeted, expressing his salts
faction at having secured travelling
companion. His friend however,
whose irritation was not decreased BY
the closely. y.crowded stage and the in
tOlerable weather, together with
Franklin's hesitation on noting the al
ready overburdened coach. perhaps un-
consciously exclaimed

supposed that residual air is left in
the upper passages. and develops q
soluble poison This poison specially
Affects the scalp, where the skin Is

Up from tbe Oceaps Bed

found in the haul of the Mary C.'s hooks.
Nearly every hook of the travis contained
something-6sh or fauna, sea-lettuce or kelp
the whole being SO plentifully interspersed
with fine large Goldfish as to make the smack s
venture profitable one.
One ribbon of the wide, green yelvety
kelp, caught up by the hooks, was long
enough to festoon easily and nicely from the
schooner's jibstay first to her foremast, then
to her mainmast, and lastly to her main
boom topping lift over the stern. The rufhed
and hounced edges futtered in the wind in
this position all the time the smack lay in the
Basin.
A portion of the usual catch consisted of
black mussels and black pearl sea oysters.
The mussels were very large-from half to
rank in flavor and too tough to be eaten.
There were four pearl oysters each of which
contained a little pearl, irregularly shaped,
shelled quahaugs or hard CLAIMS discovered
off shore here last year were also brought up
by the travis, besides sponges, sea corns,
robins, dogfsh, conger eels, sea-luttuce or
cabbage, sea-peas, swallow-alls and white
founder.
Sponges have not been caught off Block
Island for years. The Mary G. caught three
fine specimens, the largest of sugar-loaf shape
about eighteen inches in height, foot in
diameter, and divided into at least forty
slender fingers.
These sponges-as are those taken on the
Nantucket Shoals and Georges Banks fishing

They make a pretty hower-bed. The sea-
rose is a leathery-looking object, which at
taches itself to stone at the bottom of the
sea IN its infancy, and which ultimately at
tains size of about three inches in length
by one and half in breadth.
When quiet and feeding under water its
top opens and blossoms into large pink
rose, with petals fully an inch long, a really
however, it shuts itself resolutely into its
leather pod.
The catching of the dog-fsh, about twenty
in all, chagrins the island fishermen, as it
convinces them that these pests of the fishing
grounds will be early on hand and very nu-
merous this year.
The same may be said of the conger eel.
The sea-cabbage and peas are terms applied
to vegetable growths, always found in abun-
dance on Coxswain's Ledge. The peas do
not grow in pod, but are separate, greenish
objects found on certain sea-weeds.
By far the greatest curiosity to fishermen,
however, in the whole catch, was the white
founder. This was fiat fish of the usual
type, as white on the back as it was under
meath.
1t was about twenty inches long, and weigh
ed two pounds. There was not brown spot
upon it, and the poor fish's back was literally
SCARED where is had escaped the teeth Of
larger fish, its lack of color on the back evi-
IDENTIFY failing to protect it from the sight of
its tormentors
The white founder is regarded purely as a
freak of nature. Its like was never seen be.

grounds-are filed with the reddish-yellow
matter of animal life when taken from the
sea, but repeated and careful squeezes alter
mated with washing, eventually leaves them
as white and clean as a ladys hand, and
they become handsome parlor ornaments.
There is not as much fabric in them as in
those found in warmer seas, and consequently
they cannot be put to any service.
The sea-corn is a collection of yellowish-
looking kernels, gathered in rows along the
side of large seaweed, and bearing a close
resemblance to part of an ear of early
June green-corn.
The fishermen do not know what sea-corn
really is but they do know that they can al
ways catch Goldfish where sea-corn is plenty.
Skates have been unusually numerous and
ravenous all about the island the past winter,
and for the first time in years have been ac-
companied by swallow-alls.
skate, and look as though built of frame
drawn loosely over it.
The mouth occupies one side of the fish,
and when hooked by either jaw, the other
falls open, so that it is about as easy to pull
one from the bottom of the sea as it would
be to haul-up big mail-pouch with its mouth
wide open.
By far the largest portion of the curiosi-
ties on the trawl consisted of sea-roses, or
"Chris Connors," as the codmen know them.
Hundreds of them sucked in the trawl bats
with their beautiful pink petals, and many
