have a rocky bottom, to which they can
adhere with their arms. From the de-
scriptions we have given of various
specimens it is easy TO picture to the
mind the form and proportions of these
Cyclopic mollusks Their bodies are
long and flsiform, terminated at the pos
terror end by a spear-shaped fin. The
head Is furnished with pair of great
greenish, CHASTITY eyes, a bill like a par
rot and ten arms surrounding it in cir
Gle. The arms are provided with rows
of suckers, and, in some species, the
suckers are encircledwith row of hooks
to aid them in clasping. Add TO all this
that the body contains fountain of inky
fluid, which the animal can eject at will
in order to color the water and hide it
from view of its enemies, and we have a
creature sufficiently equipped with
weapons, offensive and defensive, to
come forth victorious in a battle with al
most any combatant inhabiting land or
sea. In its own element the Cataceous
are probably the only animals that can
successfully encounter it.


The cuttle-fish feed upon living fish,
crustaceous and mollusks. 1t may be
presumed that they make great havoc
among the tribes upon which they prey;
yet, in obedience to the law of nature,
which permits no single species to OBJ
tain predominance over the rest, it is
in turn the victim of other tenants of the
deep. Abundant evidence has been re-
ceived that the toothed whales find in
these colossal Cephalopods a favorite
and common article of diet. Some judg
ment may be formed of the fecundity of
these creatures from the statement that
the common squid, LOliqo-a nearly
allied species-deposits 10000 eggs in a
season. These are large, and generally
extended in clusters united by gluti-
nous substance, and are called by the fish
ermen sea -grapes.-ChicagO Tribune.

LITTLE Rock. Ark, March :.


The Governor to-day issued a procla-
nation appointing Thursday, March 26,

blessings which have been showered up

the Poland report, the Governor says;
I'VE have been sustained by the Con-

of the law is the surest remedy against
mobs and general outbreaks that some
times occur and almost defy the entire
power of the Government. AS we have
been peaceful and law-abidIng, and
thereby won respect and confidence
everywhere, let US continue to be, and
enforce the laws so that each and every
citizen may feel he owns a direct in
terest in the Government, while that
Government not only can, but is able and
ready to, protect him. Stir up no strife,
revive no past political differences or
animosity, persecute no one that may
have differed or that may hereafter
differ with us. Let US at all times, in
fact, exercise charity to all and malice

As TO distinguishing poisonous species Of
mushrooms, there is no golden rule which
will enable US to tell Il . glance the good
species from the bad. The only safe guide
lies in mastering, one by one, the specific
distinctions, and increasing the knowledge
through experience, as child learns
to distinguish a flbert from an
acorn, or leaf Of sOrrel from one
of white clover. The characters Of
half dozen good, escUlent species may be
learned as easily as the ploughbOy learns %
discriminate as many species Of birds But
it is not enough TO avoid poisonous species;
discretion should be used in preparing and
eating good ones. They changesO rapidly,
that even the cultivated mushroom, if long
kept, is unfit for use. Nor is It enough that
they be Of good species and fresh; p eHty OF
salt must be used in their preparation, 70

Snccial TO the Cincinnati Commercial.


The Presidents letter has been the SEN
sational feature of the day. Those who are
uufrieudlv TO the President have it that the
third term sensation is not yet ended, and
that the letter is in itself a bid for a TenUm-
ination. A few Of those who have stood
very near to the President, say that the let
ter is more likely than anything else 10
bring the President prominently before
the people for denomination, but the per-
sons who hold these views are the rare eX-
ceptious. Ii is noticeable that many Of
the Government officials who have been
privately known to be opposed to the third
term. and who have considered it wise
hitherto TO be silent, are very outSpoken in
their endorsement Of this letter, which they
claim is a manly declaration Of the fact
that the President never had been candl-
date for denomination. One or two Of the
Cabineab officers who speak about the letter
say that had they been personally consulted
they should have suggested modification
Of the phraseology and some amendments.
But the President generally whites his own
letters, and certainly wrote this one.
