A passing shade d'pon the changeful mirror of old Time; A sere leaf, long ere autumn comes, decayed; A plant or tree that scantly reartics prime A dew-drop of the morning, gone ere noon; A meteor expiring in its fall A blade of grass that springs to wither soon, A dying taper on a darksome pall The foam upon the torrent's whirling wave; A bird that flutters on a drooping wing; A shadowy specter o'er an open grave A lnorninur-glnry 's moment in the spring; A breaking bubble on a A sunset after storm, an erring angel's dream.

What is this death we fear? The peaceful close Of stormy lite of reckless passion's sway The veil that mantles all our rare- and woes; The heavenly ending of an earthly day The crown of tune well spent; the portal fair Which opes the way to never-ending Joy; It sets the captive spirit free as air. From all tbe fetters which on earth annoy. What is this death? The sleep the pilgrim takes After much weary travail he has known. And whence with renovated power he wakes. His soul isore mighty for its slumber grow The glorious onqtiest over human ill A spirit's Joy "Inch death can never kill.

Dr. Vy-atts old hymn, 'Tis dogs' delighl to bark and was apparently wrongly construed by two young men inMays-ville, on Monday evening 1 last; for notwithstanding tbe good advice given by that rev spectable old doctor, these young men, wha are members of good families, and are themselves in good standing in Mavsville society, concluded to settle an old quarrel in -a scientific manner, which resulted in one of them, Charles Branscom by name, receiving soma, serious wounds, which were ihlMcled by Frauk Hewitt with a bowie-knife. Tha facts in the case, aa nearly as we could learn them from eye-witnesses, -are as follows Hewitt has for some time past been paying at- tention to a young lady named Milesi a resident of Maysville, to whom Branscom has also been paying attention, which fact being ascertained bv Hewitt, he took to caution Miss Miles against encouraging Branscom stating for his reason that had some time since seduced a young girl who hadjgived birth to a child which B.

could not deny being the father This story -was evidently repeated to Branscom by the young lady, for a few days -ago he was heard to swear vengeance against Hewitt, and has been observed to stay around tbe store in which Hewitt clerked after night, but until Monday evening; lust be made no demonstrations. I i On that evening he! entered the store in company with Henry Mills, a brother of the young, lady, and after removing his hat and overcoat, informed Hewitt, who was reclinimg on the counter, that be had come with the der termination of whipping at the same time calling him a "dirtv of a and catching hold of both of Lis wrists, apparently with the intention of clinching, with -him. Hewitt at first attempted to persuade his opponent to leave, but failing in this, aud seeing that Branscom was bound to have a row. he drew a dirk bow ie-knife and commenced cutting and slashing at a fearful rate. Mills then stepped up and succeeded in pulling Hewitt away from his adversary, not, however, until be had indicted upon him -some rather serious wounds.

We are told, "Blessed are the peace makers," but in this case the blessing received by Mills waa a dig in the thigh from Hewitt's knife, which cooled. his ardor so effectually that he left for tow taking the left-handed bleswing along. At this stage of the game tbe Sheriff came up and put a stop to the fracas, but not, however, until he had to dodge his head quickly to prevent a four-pound weight which Branscom threw at Hewitt from sir iking him, and being the means of furnishing material for a first-class funeral. Branscom was then led-home and Hewitt placed under arrest until the case could be investigated. The wounds received by B.

are considered but not so much so that any fears' are at present entertained respecting his recovery. The last report was that he was- doing well and in all probability would recover before long, unlets he should take cold or commence bleeding in wardly.

EZRA'S ERR02, ITow the ewi of Wlnslow'g Arrest Wm Received In IJoston Great Kxeite-rneut on the Streets Further Particulars of His Wholesale Forgeries. Fram tha Boston Globe.

The greatest excitement which lias agitated Boston since the first news of Winslow's forgeries and flight attended the announcement yesterday of his arrest in London. For a long time doubt and belief contended for the masterv in the popular mind, aud doubt bad rather "the belter of it. It was arguod quite sensibly that a man who-Was sharp enough to make the "raise" that he had done was altogether too smart to laud in Kngland, and go Iirowllng about London, where he must have mown he was almost sure to be captured, and whence he must infallibly be returned to Justice in this country. But hour by hour conviction deepened as telegrams were reported confirming the' first-statements, and before night positive assurances had been received that the great forger was really In custody, aud that his numerous mourning victims in Boston would soon be able to meet ahd settle with him. The first news of the Joyful event was given in a special to the llernld from Loudon, and possessed tho merits of terseness and brevity.

It was as follows: London, February 13 (7:05 a. Wins-low was arrested this morning. Later in the day came a second dispatch, as follows: When arrested. Winslow asked to be sent to America immediately. Ue said all the money in tho possession of his party was lie-longing to bis and lie asked that she be let alone.

No money was found in his possession. He was examined and remanded into custody to await the arrival of the extradition papers. I'pon being interviewed, ho said he loft everything in the hands of his attorney in Boston, ami that he bad neithereasli nor bonds. He said he Intended to goto Portugal or Brazil. lie remarked that nearly all tho newspaper stories ubout him were false.

Soon nfter ep.nie a dispatch from London, giving the following from Iteulcr's agent ut Amsterdam: Amstkhdam, February 15. The American t'otiMil at ltotterdiim telegraphs that Winslow is not in Holland. The seen riti's, will be delivered up if the woman consents. This ill probably be decided to-day. From this snd previous dispatches, it is supposed here that Winslow disembarked at Graves-em! when the steamer put in there, leaving bis wife on board to pursue her Journey to ltotterdam, taking the money and securities with her, upon the understanding that he was to her at Brussels or some other safe point, and that efforts are now niakiutr to compel the wife to surrender the securities to the I nifed Mates Consul.

The informal iuH obtainable Is exeeetiinirly meager, but there is none thus far Indicating that Winslow baa landed at Rotterdam. And still later citme the following, from the same Amsterdam agent of Itcutcr, giviiiK as his authority the 8uuie "American oiistil at AMSTElitMVf, February 15. The American Consul at ltotterdam lcVraj that Winslow has been arrested in Loud m. lie di-ilar 's that his wife has more than she All will be seized and delivered to inc. Mill another confirmation of bis arrest came from London, in the following dispatch, lute in the afternoon LON'DoN, -February 15.

Winslow, the Bns--ton forger, was arrested here at the instance of Ihe American F.iuhassy. He was formally arraigned at the Bow Police Court, and remanded for a week. I Miring the afternoon the police auf horit les were very reticent on the subject of Wins-low's arrest, and denied nnv knowledge other than information which indicates hat the property in possession of Mrs. Winslow and her sister, was seized by the police authorities of ltotterdam. whero thev had arrived, and is held by them to await further instructions from the Mayor and Chief of l'o-lice of Boston.

Later iu the day, however, Chief Savage informed a (Untie reporter that during the afternoon Mayor Cobb hsd received a dispatch from Secretary Fisl, dated at Washington, which stated the had Just received a "cable-grain'' "from Minister Schenck informing him that Winslow had been arrested Iu Loudon, and requesting that the necessary paper be made oul at once. The Chief of Police at once notilied Detective Dearborn and several of the parties whom Winslow swindled, among whom were A. J. Bcriyon and Leopold Morse, and they appeared before District Attorney Stevens, and the required affidavit were mado and given to Detective Dearborn, who started for Washington last evening. He will return Friday, anil will sail for London.

I nil id States district Attorney Sanger is in Washington, and a telegram has been sent to him requesting bim to await there the arrival of Dearborn. Meanwhile the Chief of 1'oliee. is endeavoring to ascertain some facts in relation to the arrest from Col. Henderson, Inspector of the Ixnidon Police. Mr.

Benyon, of the National Kxchange Bank, has received a dispatch confirming tl.e news of the arrest of Winslow, but the content thereof are in the hands of counsel, and will not at present be made public. He is still in communication with parties in London. He and oilier bank officials deeply interested in the great Centennial forger, are keeping their own counsel assiduously in the hope of regaining some, of the plunder, and fearing that If all that is known of Winslow's movements leaks out and becomes pub-lie property, some of these men may find means to communicate with Winslow and so aid him In evading Justice. But, now that it is an established faot that has been apprehended, it is not easy to see how his friends here can successfully communicate with hi in to give bim any information that will tend to aid him in escaping. A prominent counselor of this city, who has been named as Winslow' attorney, has been seen since the receipt of the news, and say that he thinks there are five other lawyers in town who are and have been as much Winslow's counsel as himself, and, sneaking for himself, ho declines totcil what he docs ordocsn't know on the subject.

A petition in Involuntary bankruptcy was filed in the office.of the District Court of the United Mates yesterday against Ezra D. Win-slow, of Newton. The petitioners and the amounts there represented nre as follows: "Kiee, Kendall W. E. Sheldon, $1,340, for services iu the office of the DailyaAcH-s, and $0,250 money loaned; Skill-ing Whitney, notes, 83; Charles Roberts, notes.

Randolph National Bank, E. F. Porter, James O'DonncIl, note, $700; National Kxchange Bank, note, South IJoston Itailroad Company, bill for advertising, $1,500." There are a few other names, amounts not given. The petitioners set forth that the liabilities exceed and that they represent one-third of the provable debts against the estate; that the said Winslow haa committed various acts of bankruptcy, one of which is that he bus absented himself from the State aud has concealed himself to avoid the service of civil processus. Uillard, Hyde Dickinson are counsel for the petitioners.

The theory that Winslow got away with an Immense amount of money has been held by a great many people, but It is undoubtedly a mistake, as we have already intimated tho developments iu Loudon prove. The last table of amount printed in Boston were as follows: F. F. Porter flRO.OO W. K.

The names of Mr. Porter and Mr. Sheldon were almost invariably on the same notes, and Mr. Chamberlain's name and that of Mr. Roberta were on the notes with Messrs.

Porter and Sheldon, probably for the full amounts given against their names. The notes were put up as collateral and money was not received diroctlvon them. If he got $200,000, or at most he could not have got away with much money.

In this way he had the i'osf, which could hardly have aided him much in reducing th principal in tbe time he had control of it. In purchasing it he increased his liabilities somewhere from $100,000 to $100,000, and thus he had some $200,000 or more constantly coin TAF-EPAana Albaui made their (ir-t successes in Malta. 1 Kitr.K Mile Hails aire be fashionable for spring ccwtnmw.

Wo translate as follows: TIIK STATE WINED AND TIIK rEOI'LR fM'BJt'-OATED. It is vcrv sad for all those who have noble Mexican tdood in their veins to behold the destruction and ruin of a State of the republic by the Ambition of those not upheld by public opinion, and who have used the vilest means to subjugate the people. Hut to-day, tired in often being burlesqued In the field of discussion, there has resounded tbe cry of "so far and no farther," which the winds have carried to the ears of the most patriotic citizens, until moved by the uttering of their countrymen, they have raised the standard of liberty. It is now six inontbs since the inhabitants of Sonora liv-Vng in tnnstant alarm took up arms, from the chillren of from eight to ten years of age to the ancient and decrcpld octogenarian; obliged to do so by a spurious Governor, who clings to power that does not belong to him.

In the mealtime -commerce, agriculture and mining industries have marched with extraordinary rapifity to the most frichtful decay. And yet contrimilions of from to at a time multiply. Governor Don Ignucio Pesqtieira, detcriuned in bis programme to desolate Sonora, sent his orders to Don Pcpo Pcsqueira (the actaal Governor), his depcud-aut, not to cease making forced louns, and we are informed of one of 470, OX). But this will be to no purpose, for we believe, with reason, that before it is collected the accursed family (lit fitmilia malUita) will have ceased to rule in Sonora. TWKVTY YEARS OF IMPKIttll.

WI.R. The Kmpire of twenty years finds itself In the lust pangs of agony, but the tyrant win not abandon his power until he leaves a track of blood which can never be blotted ottl. Well, the blood of our brothers will flow; but the people of Sonora, who have long worn tbe chain of slavery, can proudly place garlands on their brows'snd exclaim," We arc free!" And of nil this blood poured out, who caused it A pen erne Government which, desperate in its last moments, wishes, as its only -vengeance, to make fragments of our beautiftal soil. He acc ursed a thousand times, corrupt monster (Don lirmn io Pcsqueira), and may Heaven, in chastising you. let vou live to expatiate your crimes, and may remor-e bring you a death, slow, but desperate and terrible.

A Rich Farmer's IVctillar btinaoy He Imagines Ills Wife la Trying to cll Ilim. From the I.pavenworth (KO Times. Mr. Peter Huiht, a wealthy farnn-r, having a large property in Stranr-r tow nliip. near Iiapp's Mills, was taken before the Probate Judge yesterday for examination, information of lunacy bavins; been led agaiu-t him.

A Jury was impaneled, and, after the testimony of several itnesses had been taken, his sou's amoiic othen. lie adjudged a lunatic, and delivered over to Hie Sheriff for safekeeping until he can be taken to some asylum. During the entire examination he appeared to the casual observer as sane as any man in the room, and when a witness had been sw orn and bis testimony taken, he would interrogate him regarding the facts sworn to, betraying no signs of lunacy hatever. HOWEK'8 cask Is an extremely peculiar one, and shows how strange will be the actions of a man when, reason has departed. Although the symptoms of insanity had been apparent for a' long time, no feara were entertained until lately, when his strange and sometimes violent demeanor toward his wife excited alarm.) He has lately beeu laboring under the impression that everybody whs plotting against bis life, and were seeking the first opportunity to kill him; that bis neighbors had all conspired against him, and hud been maiming bis stock, horses, cattle, hogs, in order to render them useless.

Hi: also had the idea that his wife and boy, a lad about fourteen years of nee, were seeking an opportunity to "take his life, and once or twic lie made violent demonstrations toward the former, which kept tier in constant fear of her life. Again, be thought that bis wife and son were TRYIN'fl TO SELL HIM, and he watched their every movement to see that they did not do so. Last Saturday Mrs. ltowcr and the bov came to this city and sold a load of wheat, delivering the money over to him immediately upon returning home. ilower took he money, and, imagining it to be the price for which they had sold him, severely upbraided the lad for what he called his ingratitude.

STRANGE HAI.LrrrNATION. The strangest part of the story is yet to come. He is an habitual reader of the newspapers, and since the Lappin and Mowry exposures have been brought out, the idea has seized upon him that this is a trick of the newspapers to bring him before the public, and that when they speak of either Mowry or Lappin they are referring directly to blm. He was under the impression that the names of Lappin and Mowry were purelv fictitious, coined merely by the editors of fie different newspapers in order to deceive him, while in every instance they referred directly to him. He would talk to his family in regard to it, and it seemed to annoy him greatly.

Yesterday eventng "Mr. Bower "was placed In the County Jail, where he will remain until further arrangements can be made. Katie King Appearing Uefore a Magistrate and Insisting on llelng Cross-Kxaniiuoil. From the Boston Transcript, February 16.) On Wednesday Colonel A. K.

McClure. the proprietor and editor of tb Philadelphia ime; was summoned to appear at court to answer the complaint of J. M. Roberts, of Burlington, N. who complained of an alleged libelous article which had appeared in the colums of tbe paper on February 3.

The article referred to gave a somewhat humorous account of a Katie King seance, conducted by tbe well-known Mr. and Mrs. Holmes. Mr. Roberts was very excitable, and informed tbe Court that Colonel McClure called him an impostor to bis face, whereupon Mr.

Holmes retorted that the Colonel perverted the truth. He said he had'gone to the seance to visit the phenomena, had.no favorite spirit, and people who read the article referring to him in the 7'imes would take him for a fool, or something wone, whereas he whs President of the Burlington Stove Works, etc. Tbe defendant conducted he cross-examination himself. He maintained a perfect equanimity, which seemed to render Mr. ilobrrts more excitable than ever.

The latter frequently contradicted himself, and when asked bow many times a week he visited the seances, be admitted he was ther every night but Saturdays. Col. McClure aked hi in if he could not do better in the way of promoting family harmony by remaining at home a few nights out of the week. "Is that any of your busiuess, you impertinent scoundrel?" screamed Mr. Itobcrts, gesticulating violently.

James N. Holme was the next witness, and testified that he did not charge for admission to the seances, but if the parties ar satisfied he took a fee; it is optional. He was asked if bo was not the man whom Dr. Child caught in tho fraud, (bowing that Katie King was none other than Mrs. Holmes, but he replied in the negative.

When asked, however, if he was not the man with whom Dr. Childs had a controversy, he admitted that. Mrs. Jennie Holmes, gorgeously attired, stepped forward and announced herself as tho wife of the previous wituess, and corroborated his examination in chief. "No questions," remarked Mr.

McClure. "I am replied, in a grieved tone and with great feeling. "Come back; I'll hear exclaimed the defendant. "Our fee is fifty cents, she replied to the first question put to her. litis gentleman here, grasping tho arm of a tall individual (a news-paper reporter), "owes me Ave cents for that night yet.

II handed me his card, and I said I could not eat or drink it. Won't you come down and see us?" she inquired of Col. McClure, smiling upon him alluringly. The audience sc roamed with delight, but none seemed to enjoy it more than the defendant himself. Th Magistrate, holding that there was sufficient ground for a Jury to decide the ease, held the defendant in $U00 bail to answer at court.

Accidental Polsonlag of Two Olii WomenThey Use Oxaitc Add Instead of bait. TFrom the New Orleans Bulletin. A sad accident occurred Wednesday In a house on Morales street, lot ween Msndevllle and Spain, which terminated in tbe death of two niii Uaies, named Mrs. AViAaw Maria Loui Vincent and Mrs. Widow J.

B. Mey-imX, aged respectively aeventv-two and lifty-three vcars, by taking poison In their food, administered accidentally at the hands of one of tbe parties. The presumption is that Mrs. Vim-cnt, the eldest of the two, placed oxalic acid in the food, consisting of a stew of tripe anil potatoes and salad, in place of salt. The unfortunate pair had been working in the garden up to 11 o'clock in the morning, when they commenced to wash clothes.

They were known to use oxalic acid frequently, to remove stains from the clothing. About a ousrter to li o'clock, Mrs. Vincent abandoned the wash-tub, and went to work to cook dinner on a stove near where they were working, and it is more than probable that the aned lady, whoso eye-sight was bad, seasoned the meat with th poison instead of salt. The dinner was ready about a quarter to 1 o'clock, and they both sal down to the table together, and partook of the meal that had just been prepared by Mm. Vincent.

Two boys, twelve and eight years, who were unuer the care and guardianship of the two ladies, fortunately, however, went out a short time before dinner, and did not come uutil late iu the day, and thereby escaprd death, as their dinner had been prepared, and had they returned they would undoubtedly have eaten the repast prepared for every one in the bouse. Mrs. Vincent, about an hour or two after eating, was suddenly taken Very sick, and commenced to Vomit, and complained of pains in the side and legs. Some of the ladies iu attendance made a cup of hot tea for ber and covered her up with blankets. Shortly afterwards Mrs.

Meycur was taken very Hi and commenced to vomit, und complained of pain in the stomach. The lady friends in the houscndmlnistered all kinds of reniediea to the two unfortunate beings, but nothing seemed to do any good. They became worse and worse in lie" course of a few hours, when the friends beirau to realize that they were seriously ill, and notified Mrs. Meyeur's sons of the sudden sickness of their mother. Young Sleyeur, on arriving at the honse, saw that their mother was very Tow, and lost no time, but went immediately for Dr.

(fifenthcr, their family physician. lr. Guilt her was not at home at tho time, but came in a few moments afterwards and repaired immediately to the bouse, and wnen ue got mere Airs, inceiii nau just uicu. Mrs. Mcyeur was suffering very much when the doctor arrived, and he gave a prescription that he thought would, give hrr relief; but nothing that could be found or prescribed seemed to do her any good.

Mie lingered until 6 o'clock Thursday morning, when she breathed her last. Oxalic acid is a poisonous drug, and, strange to say, some of the druggists iu the city sell it daily to any one that calls for it, without the least hesitancy; whether they have a prescription from a doctor or not, il is all the aamu. In fact, some of them are not aware that it is a poison. Some people use it for removing spots oil leather, and many fatal mistakes have ooi-urred in the use of it. Oxalic acid was tint noticed as poison by Mr.

Royston, in 1814, since which time it has bceu principally investigated in this relation by l)r. A. T. Thomson, of London; Dr. Percy, of Lusanne; Dr.

Coindet, of Geneva; and Dr. Christison, of Kdinburg. Since its properties of certainly and rapidity as a poison have been more generally known, its employment for committing suicidu has become more frejuent. 1 roiu the genera resemblance which the erystalized oxalic acid bears to epsoiu salt, many fatal mistakes have occurred, iu consequence of its being told for that saline purgative. Nothing, however, can be easier than to-distinguish them, for upon tasting a minute portion of the acid, hich may be done with perfect safety, it will be found strongly sour, whereas the salt in question is bitter.

Unfortunately, however, in the instance of 'hese fatal mistakes, no suspicion, being aw akened, the solution is swallowed with haste, and the mischief in don before the victim aware of the danger. Oxalic acid acts on the economy in two principal ways, according as its solution is concentrated or diluted. When concentrated it causes exquisite pain, followed by violent efforts to vomit, theu sudden dullness, languor and great debility, aud finally death without a struggle. Tire morbid appearances caused by oxalic acid ar various. In a dissection reported by Dr.

Cbristiiton, the mucous coat of the throat and gullet bad an appearance as if scalded, and that of th gullet could be easily scraped off. The inner part of the stomach was pul-taceous, in many point black, in others red, and that of the Intestine similarly but less violently affected. In another case recorded by tbe same author, tbe whole villous coat of tbe stomach was either softened or removed, as well as the inner niembrau of the oraopli-agus, so that the muscular coat was exposed, and the coat exhibited a dark, gangrenous appearance. Th stotuaeh usually contains a dark fluid, resembling eoltee grounds, consisting chiefly of altered blood. Oxalic acid is used fur removing ink stains and iron molds, and for discharging colors in calico printing.

These two ladies were in the habit of using It for such purposes, and must always had tome about the house. The two ladies were the keepers of th Ascension Church, comer of Morales and Maude ill streets. They wer widely known throughout tb Third District as pious, good people. If any one was taken sick, and bad no one to care for them, they always went to the place aud remained, iu many Instances, weeks at a time, aud administered to their wants aud nursed them, without ever dunmuding pay for their services. They were both very old, antl, strange to say, up to the time of their late illness were as active and industrious as young people.

They were in the habit ol getting jup very early in the morning, and were employed doing one thing and another throughout the entire day. Killed With a. Stone. (From the Carlisle (Ky.) Mercary. M'e have'auothcr crime to record, also occurring in Nicholas county, at tbe distillery of liuckler ii stick rod, mi Elk Creek.

The victim was a man by the name of I'age, bailing originally from West L'ninn, Ohio. The name of the slayer is Parker, hose home ia in Robertson county. In this case, also, we are confronted by so many contradictory statements, that it is ditlicult to get at the facts. The following, however, we deem reliable: was suspected of conveying information in reference to sundry operations in hone-stealing. It Is also thought had drawn enmity to himself by being engaged iu trying to detect tbe whereabouts of JLliilliugall.

It is said that parties had pursued him from the Lower Licks to the seen of his death. When Parker came in sight of him, bo gathered some stones from the bed of the and commenced hurling them at Page's head. Stone after stone struck him, aud with the repetition of each blow he begged for his life. Parker, taking a deadly aim, hurled a death-dealing blow, and ith an oath said, "He'll never report again." Page fell toth ground, bis head cruelly lacerated, and was left lying where he had fell for several Ijours, until bis life slowly wasted away. His body was then taken to an old store-room at Ab-ner's mill, on Licking river.

Parker made his escape. A man by the name of Dlanken-shlp was arrested on Tuesday as an accessory to this murder, and is -now in our County Jail. The killing, we understand, occurred In the presence of at least twenty witnesses, and for such a number of men to stand coolly by and A WHAT IS IT. The Strange Animal that the Captain of a Schooner Saw while Walking on the Shore of Lake Michigan. I Kroiii the Milwaukee Wisconsin, February 14.) -1 1 Captain William Crosston.

of the schoone Mellius, relates tho particulars of a novet scene and novel fish, or serpent, that he saw! vestcrday while walking along tho lake bluff In the vicinity of North Point. The- dav was. so bright and beautiful that, the captain fook a stroll in that neighborhood, taking along with him a large mid very tine marine glassy with which to observe wliatever of iutcreat might oiler itself. While gazing off upon the lake, Inspecting the floating Ice, the captain 's attention WasT riveted by a peculiar motion of the water, atj a distance of perhaps a mile from shore. Thet water seemed to heave, as if from some aetivei cause directly underneath.

Putting the full force of bis glass upon the pot, tbe capUiiuf wailed developments. Suddenly a black object appeared for an instant, ami then sank quietly out of Again the object appeared and disappeared The captain thought it probable that it was-a huge cask, half submerged, rising and fall-; ing with the swell. In this he was soon tin-' deceived, for while be carefullv watched, be, saw monstrous serpent, swiftly dart from the surface, and leap with Ircme'n-: dotts velocity upwards and forwards, forming-a curve very cfcai lv allowed the size and shape. Long after the head bad agaiu disappeared beneath Ihe waVc tbe curve was exhibited, showing the animal to be extremely long. The water was lushed to a foam and seemed colored with blood, as though the scrpent-fish had been injured iu some manner Slid was bleeding.

The captatu waited long and anxiously for a reappearance of the huge monster, but nothing more was seen of Ihe new visitor. The captain's description of the serpent is very distinct and vivid, notwithstanding the short nesa of the time granted bim to take observation. He says the bead was formed something like a lisli, but more like a serpent having a huge mouth with a double row of teeth, 'i lie captain has frequently seen whales (having commenced his nautical career oil a haier), und be avers that never has he seen such a mouth before. The body was built closely up to the head aud in sWte appeared to be fully as large as an ordinary hogshead, preserving its shape throughout, with the exception of the tail, which was like that of a fish. The strange mixture had grest fins three in number on either side, and as he shot uprl into tue air itiesc mis wavea tine nuge They appeared vari-colored, and, as the captain asserts, showed red, white and 'I bis apparent patriotism as ow ing to the action ot the sun's rays, doubtless.

But the contain distinctly asserts that he saw these colors, as if in a flag, not only the tins, but in stripes on the body. In fact, he makes the serpent out to lie a sort of animated barber-pole floating around, waiting for July Fourth. One fact hich was forgotten iu the above descripl ion is hat the animal spouted water like a whale, throwing a huge column at leant thirty feet high. The writer of this article Is unacquainted with Captain Crosston other than as he met him fn the course of this incident, but Chief Beck knows bun personally, and states that he is a gentleman whose word can be implicitly relied on; and Chief Beck always carries a littlH hatchet to show that bis own stories can be sworn to. The Chief has also heard this account of the serpent, and is inclined to think it is the one seen here by George 'De l.nntro in 177t.

This fact, in connection with the red, white and blue, leads to the conclusion that the serpent is a Centennial fish. A Romantic F.lopenient from Georgia, and its- Kcsult. From the American. 1 George Dav idson Blakey, a young man of good standing and much promise, was engaged to Miss Annie Herd, a beautiful daughter of General Herd, of Washington, Ga. They had asked permission to had objected, on the ground of the youthful-: ness of the high contracting parties.

They were advised to wait; but wuit they could not an 1 would not. Young Blakey announced his intention of attending the t'uniberlaitd rniveritv, at Lebanon, and did go there and regularly enter for the course. Having written to his betrothed that he would send a friend her, and had arranged that she would accompany himto Nashville, where the marriage ceremony would be performed, his friend left here last Sunday morning, arriving at Washington, Georgia, '1 uesday morning. He informed the expectant lassie of his arrival and she sent word that when the clock struck one that night she would light a match and let down her clothing, of which he was tb take charge. He did as directed and secured the dry goods.

Just before train time the next morning, she departed ostensibly on a visit to a kinswoman, but instead took the train for Nashville, arriving here Wednesday and registering at the Commercial Hotel. The bridegroom came down from Lebanon and met them and they were yesterday united in marriage by Rev. Mr. (Jhestuut, at the residence of Dr. James IViwIing.

Immediately after tb ceremony they sent dispatches home announcing their marriage. Tbe Professor's Joke on Himself. The following good Joke Is told on one of the Cornell professors: A few days since one of the professors perpetrated a practical joke upon himself worthy to be cherished in the archives of the institution. lie had occasion to visit a small closet in which the Janitor keeps his tools, situated in the basement, near the engine. Not wishing to be disturbed while there he locked himself in and slipped the key Into his pocket.

During his manipulations, be forgot that he hud the key in his possession, and upon trying to get out imagined himself the victim of some malicious physicist. He waited noma time for bis tormentor to repent, and then became" exasperated. He pounded the door, kicked, wept and swore through the key-hole, but in vaiu. The Janitor had gone down in town, aud there was none to beed bis cry. In the course of the afternoon he returned, and accidentally discovered the mighty fallen into a sullen fit of distrust, and destitute of all confidence in humanity.

When tbe professor sat down to liia newspaper, after supper, that evening, and, happening to put his hand into his pocket, fouud the kev to that closet, he immediately went into the back-yard and ran a wheelbarrow back and forth over himself for half an hour. University ilra. The First Red Cent. From the Detroit News. An item Is going tbe rounds of the papers stat iug that "the cent was first proposed by Robert Morris, the great financier of tbe Revolution, it began to make its appearance from the mint in 1VJ2.

It bore the head of Washington on one side and thirteen links on the other." The cent recently referred to iu the Aetrs, belonging to Mr. It. E.

On tho reverse a circle of thirteen rings, on which is stamped "United and in tbe center, "We are One," It has always been understood to have been designed by Dr." Franklin. Such is a correct description of the first cent.

In this Centennial era correctness in matters of history is important. In Uiis connection the question arises, as it has about plus, where have the millions of old red cents mad by the Government gone tot Mr. Roberta has also shown us a copper coin about the size of the old United State cent bearing the head of "Louis XVI liol dci Francois, 17U0."

Manufacturers' Trade 1 A Brave Act. A Tiverton correspondent of the Fall River (Mass.) Aetra sends the following: 1 4 'Captain Joseph Monroe, with his wife and babe, started from Tiverton to cross the river to Rhode Island, last Wednesday, and, in passing through Bridgeport, with a strong ebb tide, the keel of his boat came in contact with a line attached to th schooner Antelope, and th boat was capsized. The' bab sauk, and his wife became unconos. Monroe dove down and rescued the babe, and, as he came to the surface, found hi wife just under water and sinking.

He seized her, and, unaided, swam ashore with babe and wife, and landed over 200 feet from where the boat capsized. The babe waa apparently dead, for it was tinder water from the time the boat capsized un- til its father landed it on shore, but it soon revived. Monroe's achievement is spoVen of in the highest terms, and when we consider the coldness of the water and the swiftness of the tide, it seems almost a miracle that he succeeded in saving himself, wife and child. Naturally enough when the mother came to her- self she cried, Where is my baby How Did Jt Get TTiere? fFrom tiie Frankfort (Ky.) Teomaa.J Mr. Sara.
