The Sea Serpcnt.

When fourteen miles off the coast of
Brazil NJ. j. Nicoll, author Of "Three
Voyages Of Naturalist" observed 4
sea serpent which came within about
fifty yards Of the ship. "-All that we
could see was dorsal fin about four
feet long sticking up about two feet
from the water. The fin was brown
ish black color and much resembled a
gigantic piece Of ribbon seaweed. Be
low the water we could indirectly see
q very large brownish black patch, but
could not make out the shape Of the
creature. Every now and then the fin
disappeared below the water. Sud-
denly an eel-like neck, about six feet
long and Of the thickness Of a mans
thigh, having a head shaped like that
of a turtle, appeared in front of the fin,
lashing up the water with q curious
wriggling movement This creature
was an example, consider, of what
has been so often reported, for want
of better name, as the great sea
serpent I feel sure, however, that it
was not a reptile that we saw, but a
mammal

AN OLD TIME BREAKFAST.
What One Visitor Was Treated to et
Washinston's Home.

What One Visitor Was Treated to e
Washinston's Home.
The diary Of Manasse Cutler, the
founder of Ohio and the author Of the
ordinance Of 17S7, gives an account OF
a visit he made to Mount Vernon
two years after General WashiDgton's
death. We say General" Washing
ton, for that was what Mrs. Washing
ton was pleased to call him-a copy for
all those good women whose husbands
have won them honor on the field Of
war.
Mr.. Cutler says It was the desire OF
their party to arrive at Mount Vernon
In tine for breakfast G o'clock) with
Mrs. Washington, but the bad roads
and worse horses detained them, so
they did not reach there until about
10, which Mrs. Washington regretted,
but she said, breakfast would be
ready in a few minutes" The diary
goes on to say:
'In a short time she arose and desired
US to walk into another room, where o
table was elegantly spread with ham.
cold corned beef, cold fowl, red her
ring and cold mutton, the dishes orna-
mented with sprigs Of parsley and
other vegetables from the garden. At
the head Of the table was the. tea and
coffee equipage, where she seated her
self and sent the tea and coffee to the
company"
The point Of interest is that break
fast menu-fve kinds Of meat decked
with sprigs Of parsley and accompa-
MED with divers vegetables. Isn't
there an appetizing array and doesn't
the heart long for just such scene?
OF course the mere feeders, the fel-
lows that banker for hot things, may
not think so, but the very mention Of.
cold ham, cold chicken, cold mutton
and cold corned beef all in the same
breath is an appeal to a conscientious
appetite that is unresisting. And that.
was breakfast Of the long ago.
Most generous providers these well

good everything must have tasted!l
