MAIN STREET, ST. LOUIS, MO. If your Tinner has not an Assortment, send your order to this Company, Captnring a Devil Fish. Tlie Sport that is Afforded in the Say of Tampa, off the Florida Coast. To the Editor of the Sun: Sib Noticing in your issue of Sunday an account from a California paper describing the capture of a monster devil fish by a boat's crew from the United States steamship, Pensacola, on the coast of that such a capture is of rare occurrence, I am led to write to you.

During the lute war, while serving on the United States steamship Tallapoosa, on the blockade in Tampa Bay on the west coast of Florida, I frequently saw devil fish; on several occasions assisted in their capture. One bright day, shortly after noon, while standing on the hurricane deck, I saw a monster fish some distance off floating near the surface of the water. I called the attention of the executive officer to it, and he ordered our whale boat lowered. It was pulled from the ship in charge of our sailing master, Mr. Jenney, an old whaler.

The fish seemed to be asleep just below the surface of the water. When the hnr-poon struck it fair in the back it gave a start as though waking from a sound sleep, and darted off up the bay with terrific speed. Presently, turning, it made for the open Gulf, and drew ns several miles ont to sea. As we were considering whether to cut the line and let him escape, it turned, and made for the bay again. It soon seemed to tire with its struggles, and upon nearing the ship we hauled close np to it and, with boarding pikes and a whaling lance, after a tough struggle, killed it.

It was then hauled to the beach, and it took a number of the crew to get it on the sand. It looked like an immense bat: was at least 15 feet wide, and the tail resembled a heavy horse whip. We dried ont a quantity of oil, and parts of the skin we used fur cleaning the brass work on the guns, it being very much like emory paper. While we lay in Tampa Bay we caught four of these fish. One of them was only with great difficulty got ashore, and even when there, was not dead.

Its struggles were terrible to see. Its tail, as it cut through the air, made a whizzing sound like a brisk wind blowing through the rigging, and we were not at all anxious to get within reach of it. A native told me that the tail would cut off a a man's leg as clean as though with a knife. Tampa Bay was the greatest place for fish of all kinds that 1 have ever seen. We wonld draw our seine several times a week, and in oue or two drawings get enough fish to last the ship's company at least two days.

The Lynching at Jackson ville. Prof. W. J. Borden, principal of the Calhoun College at Jacksonville, in a private letter to Mr.

Howell of the Senate, of the 20th instant, says: Our town is to-night laboring under a very great excitement, but a quiet one. To-day about 250 armed men composed of the best citizens of the county came in town about one o'clock, went to the jail, demanded a negro who was incarcerated last Friday, and forced the jailor to deliver to tliera said negro. They then in the most quiet manner, for so large a crowd, marched from the jail to the hill east of the court house near Dr. Nesbet's and there hung him till he was entirely dead. His body was taken down about 3 o'clock this evening by order of Judge Cannon, and lies in the court house.

The negro is accused of committing rape on a Mrs. Abies, near Gadsden, and also attempting to kill tier. She was found near her home on Thursday last, with her head or skull broken in three or four places, insensible, and has not spoken np to last report. This negro was taken up on suspicion at once, acknowledged the attempt to kill her, but denied the rape, and gave as his excuse for attempting to kill, that he threw a rock at something else which accidentally struck the woman, and then concluded to kill her to kA her from telling on him. No one believes his excuse, so the tragedy came on as I have reported.

The crowd came in prepared to execute their purpose, fully armed to meet resistance, with hummers and tools to open the jail in spite of officers. The jailor was forced to give np the keys, and did so nnder stringent protest, and it wonld have been folly to resist. The Mayor and many citizens used all efforts to dissuade them, but to no purpose but no force at command could have prevented the occurrence of to-day. I saw the crowd from the college building, but was told it was composed of good, reliable men, a large portion from Etowah county and some from Every grocery was closed by their order; no one was allowed to drink any. The citizens who saw and talked with them say that there was not a hojsh or excited word nttered by any one and that only a few of them talked at all.

Our citizens deplore the circumstances, but could not avoid them. The crime was committed in Etowah county, and the preliminary trial was held in that county, but by mistake the negro was brought to our jail, and our officers were making an effort to return him to the proper county, but this has settled the matter. There is no question but that the law would have hung him, but the excitement of the masses could not await the law's delay. Notwithstanding, we are all convinced that the punishment was not too severe. Yet, we all deplore the manner and time of its enforcement.

You will doubtless see in a few days exaggerated reports relative to it. What I have given yon is an outline of the facts in the case. Many negroes were with those who composed the crowd. They came in town quietly and retired quietly. I trust I shall never be near another such a scene.

Killed by a meteor- Leonidas Groeer Instantly Killed While Asleep fall of a Twenty-pound Meteor. Covington, January 15. On Tuesday last Leonidas Grover, who resided in the vicinity of Newtown, Fountain county, met his death in a way that is probably without a parallel in this, or any other country. Mr. Grover was a widower living on his farm with a married daughter and her husband.

On the evening referred to, the married couple had lieen absent on a visit to some neighbors, and, npon returning at late hour, entered the house, finding everything to all appearance, in usual order, mid supposing that Mr. Grover had already to tied themselves. Next morning the daughter having prepared breakfast, cnt to the adjoining room to call her father, and was horrified to find him lying i' pon his shattered lied a mutilated corpse. Her screams brought the husband quickly to the on inspection disposed arngged opening in the over the breast of the unfortunate man, which was torn through as if by a cannon shot, and extending downward through the bedding and floor; other holes show the direction taken by the deadly missile. Subsequent search revealed the fact that the awful calamity was caused by the fall of a meteoric stone, and the stone itself, pyramidal in shape, and weighing twenty pounds and a few ounces, avoirdupois, and stained with blond, was unearthed from a depth of nearly five feet, thus showing the fearful impetus with which it struck the dwelling.

The position of the corpse, with other sur-ronndings, when found, showed that the victim was asleep when stricken, and that death to him was painless. The Mollie Maguires of Pennsylva nia are unfortunate. The hanging of Bcrgin at I'ottsville, the other day, makes the nineteenth Mollie hung within eighteen mouths. For every man killed by them quite a number of these desperadoes are ung. Thus, five were hnng for the murder of Yost, three for the murder of T.

MONDAY, JANUARY 27, 1879. Statement of Proceedings AguiiiKt Mayer and Turner. Conflict Bet iceen State and Federal Courts. The proceedings for contempt against the U. S.

Marshal and District Attorney in the city court of Selma, have attracted a great deal of attention. We have thought it best to make no comments so long as any issue remained for the courts to decide. Matters are now in such a shape that we think it advisable to give the facts At the fall term of the U. S. District court held in Montgomery in November 'and December last, the Grand Jury of the court issued subpoena duces tecum to a large number 01 the Inspectors of election in Dallas county to bring before them the ballots cast at the late election, together with the boxes, It also issued a like sub-pa'na to Probate Judge Wood for the returns and other papers in relation to such election, in his office.

The laws of Alabama make these officers custodians of the papers, boxes and ballots called for, and grave doubts existed as to whether the District Court could compel them to produce them, but they were produced before the U. S. grand jury and delivered to Mr. Bibb, the foreman, who retained and receipted for them, to be returned to the persons from whom he received them. When the City Court of Selma organized its Grand Jury this- month, tlie Judge of said court, in ottedience to the direction of a statute' to that effect, charged said jury to make dil-ligent inquiry in regard to any violation of the election law.

In discharging this duty the Grand Jury found it necessary to have before them the ballot boxes, ballots and papers left in the possession of the foreman of the United States Grand Jury, -ami they made known to Jndge Haralson this necessity. Judge Haralson thereupon caused a subpoena duces tecum to Mr. Bibb, who received these papers, Mr. Mayer, the U. S.

Attor- ney, and to Ma. Turner, the Marshal, and also to the Clerk of said court, commanding them to appear before the Grand Jury of the City Court and bring with them the election papers and boxes above referred to. These subpirnas were served on Friday, January 10th, in Montgomery. Mr. the Clerk, and Mr.

Bibb obeyed the subpoenas by appearing before the court and making known to the conrt why they could not produce the boxes and papers called for Mr. Dimmick stating in substance that he had never had possession of the boxes, that he believed they were in the vault attached to the Marshal's office. Mr. Bibb stated that when the subpoena was served on him he applied to the Marshal for the boxes and ballots in order that he might produce them, but the Marshal refused to deliver them to him. The District Attorney and Marshal, seemingly apprehensive of a rule nisi against them, caused their own affidavits to be filed in the City Court, stating in substance that they were engaged in the discharge of their offi- cial duties, and that oue wonld have to be in Mobile and the other in Uuntsville in a few days, to attend sessions of the United States Courts.

That the papers and boxes called for were required as evidence in certain cases pending in said Conrt. Neither of them offered to appear or produce the papers, and each stated they believed they were in the custody of the United States Court at Montgomery. It was also shown to the City Conrt, by the testimony of Mr. Dimmick, that on the 12th of January Judge Brace came to Montgomery, opened the Circnit Conrt, and on that day, at the instance of the District Attorney, made an order that the box-cb and papers mentioned should remain where they then were, and not be taken away nntil the causes in which they were to be used as evidence were disposed of. The grand jury of the City Court reported to the court that George Turner and Chas.

Mayer had refused to obey their snbpwnas. Upon the evidence adduced to the court, and upon the motion of the solicitor, the conrt adjudged said Mayer and Turner to be guilty of a contempt of court, in having failed and refused to obey its process, and accordingly ordered attachments to issue for their arrest. Under this order, George Turner was arrested in Montgomery on the 17th of January, brought before the City Court and made his showing for discharge, predicated in substance upon the foregoing facts. The conrt rnled that its jurisdiction and authority attached to the boxes, npon the service of the subpienas, ami that they must be produced, and said George Turner, refusing to produce them, was fined $50 and costs and sentenced to be imprisoned five days, at the expiration of which time he was again to be brought before the conrt for its further action. The writ of attachment for Mayer was served on him at Uuntsville, on the 17th instant, and a writ of luibeas corpus issued by Judge Bruce was immediately served on the officer in whose custody lie, was.

He was therenpon taken before Judge Bruce, and the officer made a return of the writ in accordance with the facts. We are informed that Mayer asked time to answer the return, which was granted, ami Judge Bruce set the writ down for hearing on the 27th and Mayer was released from the custody of the Deputy Sheriff. Yesterday a writ of habeas corpus, issued by Judge-Bruce, was served on Sheriff Mason, commanding him to produce (Ac body of said George Turner, instnnter, before him at Uuntsville. i Tnrner is still in tho comity jail, and we are not advised what course the Sheriff of Dallas county will pursue. Montgomery A drertiser.

The Duke of Buckingham, in the reign of James had so many wiu-, (lows to his dwelling that it was known in Loudon as the glass house. Numerous Scotchman came to London with the king, who were obnoxious to the duke, and he organized parties to break their windows. Some Scotchmen, in return, broke his windows, and the King remarked to the duke: 'tStceilie, those who live in glass houses should lie careful how they fling stanes," and thus arose the. well-known proverb.

They were each about fifteen feet long.

The swords projecting from their heads were about three feet long, and were composed of a hard, bony substance, having projecting teeth about one inch in length and one inch apart down each side, looking precisely like a saw with immense teeth on each edge. On cutting the fish open, we found one of them to contain fifteen young sawfish, about eight or ten inches long, with small saws about six inches long. George W. Browehv 2219 Third Avenue, New York.

Hosts or People are Martyrs To sick headache, that infallible symptom of a disordered stomach, liver and bowels. Many suffer from it as many as three or four times a week.

The intimate sympathy be tween the brain and the abdominal region causes the slightest disorder affecting the latter to be reflected, as it were, in the organ of thought. The reform instituted by the Bitters when the digestive, secretive and evacuative functions are in a state of chaos, has other and more beneficial results, the complete nutrition of the whole physical economy, the restoration of appetite and repose, and an increase in the power of the system to resist diseases of a malarial type. A wealthy and eccentric husband and wife in a Boston suburb keep their only daughter isolated from the world She is 10 pears old, and is being literally brought up in a glass case, her play room, study and bed room all being at the top of the house, where walls and roof are of glass, the sun bath being considered necessary to the child's physical and moral health and well-being. The mother, formerly a normal schoolteacher and a great student, is the child's teacher, and, with the exception of her daily airing in the handsome grounds of the place the little girl never goes rarely sees another child.

Sweetness Within the Reach of all. By tho ingenuity of Dr. Price, we have now before ns the sweetest and most charming odors. His Floral Riches surpasses in flowery and grateful perfume any Cologne or Toilet Water we have ever seen, while his Alista Bouquet, Hyacinth, are really captivating. a.1m LATELY SPRINGS LIVERY i The Retiring "Carpet-Bag" Senators.

The four "carpet-baggers" who retire on March 4, namely Spencer of Alabama, Patterson of South Carolina, Dorsey of Arkansas, and Conover of Florida, appear to take matters easy. Their exit leaves only one' "carpet-bagger" in the senate Kellogg of Louisiana. He, with Bruce, the colored senator from Mississippi, will be the only two Republicans left of the thirty-two senators from the Southern States. Brace will go out in 1881. and nnless there is a shaking np which will secure to the colored citizen the same rights accorded to his white fellow-citizen, he will be the last of his race that will be a member of the senate in our day.

Patterson talks of settling in North Texas with liia two sons, now young men. Spencer owns one-third of a gold mine in the Black hills, and is to manage the mine on his retirement from the senate. Conover ran for the house at the last election, says he was elected but counted out, and is going to contest. Dorsey owns a ranch in New Mexico, stocked with 40,000 head of cattle, but will retain his residence in Arkansas. Dorsey, Conover and Spencer are all under forty, and their wives are singularly beautiful women.

Philadelphia Star. The author of the following "Fable" in the. Frankfurter Zeilung has been sentenced for writing it to one month's imprisonment, it "being offensive to Prince Bismarck 'There was once a schoolmaster who used a great many canes and was much given to putting his pupils in solitary confinement. Once the Inspector called on him and found the school in a very bad state. 'My he said, 'yon have unlimited control over everything here, is it that your school gets worse and worse every yearf replied the tyrant, I have a wicked, wild lot to rule.

Give me another bundle of enncsayearnnd and build me one or two more cells for the confinement of the refractory, or I really cannot answer for the 'Why exclaimed the Inspector, 'yon already give ten times as many floggings as any of your colleagues. If flogging were the remedy the vilest jailor would be tho best mentor, and your school an example for the whole world. But the stick is the measure of your pedagogy, and what yon ought to have taught yon have still to learn. When the pupils are fit for nothing, that shows the teacher is fit for nothing, so be good enough to march out. What we want is schoolmaster who has no need of canes and is satislied with one cell." A Wisconsin girl put on trousers and started through the deep snow to walk six miles to a village for provisions, the family larder being empty.

She soon became tired ont, besides losing her way, and the cold was in tense. A big New Fonndeland dog which accompanied her was the means of saving her life. She scooped out a hollow in the snow, lay down in made the warm dog lie on her, shifting him about so as to successively cover the coldest parts of her body. In that way she passed the whole night, and was not very severely frost bitten. "With two or three more dogs," she says, "I would have got along very comfortably." Chkomo Story.

The latest cliro-mo story comes from the East-end, where a Sunday school teacher said to one of her pupils, "Johnny, why don't yon invite your friend Billy to come to Sunday school with youl Johuny looked up with a grin full of intention, and equally full of teeth, and said, "I know yer, teacher.
