Two remarkable cows ^iave just been
jQported from Brazil. They were cap-
jired by the crew of an English vessel
near the South American coast, and
were «old to an enterprising collector ot
curion* animals on North William
street. They have neither legs nor feet,
but propel themselves by aid of two
awkwarcl-lookiag ria& like those of a
seal. They live in the water_ and are
entirely helpless wben out of it. They
are sea cowi, known to zoologists as the
manatee * The head is of moderate
size, oblong, and hns a blunt muzzle.
The animal has a slight neck. , Its
mouth is very peculiar, the upper lip
being cleft intu two lobes. When the
animal seizes a cabbage leaf the lips
come together and the leaf is drawn in
by a backward movement of the lower
margin of the upfier lips. The lower
lip i-j apparently ot no service whatever
except to cover the teeth of the lower
i«w.
The nostrils are valves which work
on hinges, As tbe nose comes to the
surface of the water the valves open
and allow the air to enter. When the
head is drawn under the water the hin-
ges go to their proper places and her-
metically seal the nostrils. The eyes
are hardly discernible. They are plac-
ed at tbe sides of the head with wrinkled
margins around the:n. The ear is a lit-
tle hole just back of ihe eye. The teeth
are similar to those of a cow. The man-
atee inhabits the bays and lagoons on the
West India Islands, the coast of Florida
and of Brazil. They prefer shallow wa-
ter, in which they lie near the bottom,
supporting: themselves on the extremity
of th eir.sbovel-bke tails or slowly mov-
ing about by the assistance of their fins.
Tbej browse on aquatic plants that
grow beneath the water, as cows feed
on laud. They arc prized highly not
only as an article.of food, but for their
oil, skin and bones. The bones are said
to be so massive and compact as to re-
semble ivory in hardness and durability.
Frequent attempts have been made to
keep theni in captivity, but without suc-
cess, except in the Brighton Aquarium,
in England, where one lived for sixteen
years.
Mr. Kobe, to whom the two sea cows
belong, says he feeds them on sixteen
cabbages a day apiece and innumerable
loaves of bread. The male measures
five feet eight inches in length, and the
female five feet three inches. They are
in separate tanks of water, and have
become so tame since they have reached
here that they aliow themselves to be
fondled and fed from .their owner's
hand.
* Manatees are becoming very rare in
North America. A few are in Florida,
and only a few. They carry their
young under their fore fin, and live to
be very old. When full grown they
measure from tea to fifteen feet in
length, aud weigh from 1500 to 2000
pounds.
White Ants-
According to Charles Frederick Holden,
in St.Nicholas, the white ant is the most
dreaded of insect invaders. In Africa
their houses are dome shaped mounds often
eighteen feet high. These insects erect pyr-
amids li)0t) times higher than themselves.
The ant? on tbeir travels conceal their ap-
proach that their presence is not suspected
until the damage is -lone. They usually
tunnel into any object which they attack,
often reducing it to a mere shell. In this
way they have been known to ascend with
in the leg of a table, devour the contents
of a box upon it. and descend through
tunnel bored in another leg,all in one night.
An officer of the English army while calling
upon some Indie.; ia Qeylon was startled by
a rambling sound. The ladies started with
affright, and the next instant they stood
with only the sky above them; the roof had
fallen m and lay all about, leaving them
miraculously unharmed. The ants had
made their way up through the beams, hol-
lowing them out until a great part of the
frame-work of the iionse was ready to fall
at the slightest slmelc.
> City of Mexico. July 29.—Grave fears
are felt here regarding the possible inunda-
tion of the capital. There have been ex-
ceedingly heavy rains for the last few day3
and last evening many of tbe streets
were submerged, the sewers not being able
to carry off the floods. * The monument
near tbe Cathedral this morning showed
that Lake Tezcuco is about five centime-
tres above the levt! of the Plaza and with
very little more rain tbe lower parts of the
city would inevitably he inundated. To-
day the shops in some parts of the city are
being pumpe.l out and the streets are part
ly flooded. Lake Tezcoco, into which the
drainage of the city is supposed to flow, is
filled up with dirt and debris from the city
The inundation of tven a part of the city
would damage property to the extern of mil
lions of dollars.
Two and a half centuries ago an inunda-
tion caused a loss here of $40,000,000, and
threre have been four other great inunda
lions since 1555.
A Curious Floating Island.
Henry's Lake is one of the wonders of
the Rocky mountains. Directly on the sum-
mit of the continental divide, in a depres-
sion or gap called Targee's pass, is a body
of water that was given the above name in
honor of an old trapper who made his home
on its borders for several years in the en-
joyment of sweet solitude.
Henry's Lake is an oval shape and has
an area of forty 3quare miles. It is entire-
y surrounded by what seems to be solid
land, and one readily concludes that- it has
no outlet. On the west side lies a level
meadow, which floats on the water, and the
bidden outlet is beyond it. Near the rim
of the basin, which at no distant day must
have been the pebbly beach of the lake, is
a shallow pool out of which flows a creek—
the source of the north fork of Snake river.
A species of blue joint grass of luxuri
ant growth floats upon the water and sends
out a mass of large hollow white roots,
which form a mat so thick and firm that a
horse can walk with safety over the natural
pontoon. The decayed vegetation adds to
the thickness of the mat and forms a mold
in which weeds, willows and small trees
take root and grow. Back from ttfe new
border the new land is firm and supports
pine and aspen trees of small growth.
An island of the same turf formation
floats about the lake. Tbe floating body
of land is circular and measures 500 feet in
diameter. A willow thicket thrives in the
center, interspersed with small aspens and
dwarf pines. The little trees catch the
breeze and are the sails that carry the is-
land on its orbit. One evning it was with-
in a stone's throw of our camp. At day-
light the next morning it was five miles
awaj\—San Francisco Examiner.
Queeu Isabella's Violet Diamonds*
A firm on John street showed me the
most brilliant and beautiful diamonds I
have seen in a long time. They were once
the property of that famous Isabella,
queen of Spain. They are called the violet
diamonds. In the store they looked the
steely blue white that fine diamonds ought
to be, but taken to the door, they were re-
ally a distinct violet. They are unset at
present, but used to be a pair of eardrops.
In the exhibition was a watch of ancient
make, which has a movable tableau upon
it. Cupid is sharpening his arrows at the
forge of Vulcan, while Venus and .other
mythological deities look on. When the
watch i3 wound the god at the bellows be
gins to pump, Vulcan at the anvil strikes it,
a tiny chain that looks like running water,
rnns over a wheel to imitate a cascade,
while Venus moves her arm and Cupid
brandishes a bow. The workmanship is
extremely fine and the watch is very valua-
ble, Among the articles formerly belong-
ing to Isabella is a collection of different
colored diamonds. There are black, amber
colored, pink, 3anguinary red ones almost
like rubies, gray ones and the famous violet
pair. The old lady had a great fancy for
jewelry. As many as a dozen sets of dif-
ferent settings are in the hands of this
firm for sale.—Clara Bell's Letter.

The Snake and the Pig-
Jasper Bryan, living out on the river,
east of town relates a remarkable incident
between a pig of his and a rattlesnake* A
fine sow and pigs used to go in the river
swamp, and frequently the sow would ap-
pear for her slops with one pig short,which
so worried friend Bryan that he mustered
his forces and went in search of the cause
of the absence of the pigs. He had not
been in the swamp long before he was start-
led by the peculiar sound of the rattles,and
upon investigation found that a snake had
swallowed a pig, but the little grunter, not
being satisfied with that confinement, had
actually kicked his feet through the belly
of the snake and was walking about trying
to find his way out of the woods, with his
head still inclosed in the lower part of the
snake's body. The snake was promptly
killed and found to contain sixteen rattles.
The pig was carried home and is doing well

European Inklings-
The statement contained in Rider Hag-
gard's new novel, "Allan Quartermam,"
concerning the existence of white races in
the interior of Africa, has received a
most remarkable confirmation from the
man who above all others is qualified to
speak on the subject. Zebehr Pasha,
the grand old slave king of Central Afri-
ca, whom the Gorman traveller, Dr.
Schweinfnrth, describes in 1871 as living
in a palace "where visitors were con-
lucted through halls of State by richly
dressed and attentive slaves, and where
chained lions guarded the doors and sol-
liers in mail armor waited on his will,"
is now a captive in the British fortress of
Gibraltar, whither he was deported from
Egypt some two years ago in conse-
quence of his suspected complicity in the
Soudan rebellion. Talking the other
lay to a correspondent about the slave
countries on the White Nile which are
entirely savage, he remarked: "At Sa-
hara and Benghieh, in the very heart of
the slave country, there are tribes as
white as Europeans, with long and silky
hair. The beards of the old men some-
times reach down to their feet." Zebehr,
in describing others of the black tribes,
asserts that cannibalism still prevails and
that many of them eat none but human
flesh. "Men and women are sold in the
markets by the pound exactly as one
sells mutton and beef. The old and fat
aie preferred. Sometimes they are sold
dead and cut up."—[N. Y. World.

Suing for a Beggar's Estate-
Advisory Master Washington 3. •Wil-
liams, of Jersey City, has given a decision
in a remarkable chancery case, resulting
from the death in 1884 of an old woman
named Ann Dyer, who lived at Erie and
Thirteenth streets, Jersey City, and had
amassed over $25,000 by begging. The
s'range old woman begged in tlie streets of
New York until her death, and with her
money bought five fonr-story brick build-
ings on Erie street. One of her five daugh-
ters who have been disinherited sued the
others for one of the houses, but died, as
did her sisters before a decision was ren
dered. Her child tco, died, and her hus-
band pushed tbe case. The decision was
against him, and the house goes with the
others to be shared by the children of the
four deceased sisters.—N. Y. World.
Death of Rev- W. E- Ward-
> While I am not a betting man,
F. J.Cheney, ot tbe firm of F. J. Che

duty to make that fellow a bet, you see

New York, July, 31.*—The steamer l*m-
bm from Liverpool, which arrived here to-
day, met with a tidal wave or cyclone
which struck the vessel at 3 o'clock
lust Wednesday morning. The wave was
seen for more than ten minutes before it
.«< hed U>« -w arner, giving the officers am-
ple tune to prepare for it. It struck the
vessel with great force, carrying away a
portion of the bridge and forward batch,
and flooding the forward oabins and steer-
age. Owing to the accident and fog the
Umbna was detained about iwfutv hours
When the Aurania left Liverpool, on Ju-
ly 16th, the Rev. W. E. Ward of Nashville,
Tenn.,- and his daughter, a bright young
lady still in her teens, were among the pas-
sengers. Mr. Ward had just taken his
daughter from a school in France, where
she had completed her education,
Mr. Ward was seized with an attack of
apoplexy on July 20th and died suddenly.
Miss Ward was prostrated when she arriv-
ed in this city. The body was taken from
the steamship last evening and will be car-
ried to Tennessee for interment.—N. Y.

Why They Shot the Pastor-
Atlanta, July 27.—Rev. W'm. R. Clern-
mons, a popular colored preacher, was shot
in the leg on Wednesday night last. It was
claimed that he was chased by three men
and shot while escorting Miss Delia Hurst
home. Great mystery surrounded the af-
fair, and secre'cy was observed by the par-
ties. It was found necessary to amputate
the pastor's leg, and he died from the ef-
fects of the operation yesterday. It has
been ascertained that the reverend gentle-
man, who was a widower, was popular with
the sisters, and was in the habit of seeing
choice lambs of the flock home after the
prayer meeting. Miss Hurst is an uncom-
monly stylish girl, and when Clemmons of-
fered her his arm that night he was shad
owed. The intimation now is that the shot
was not fired until the reverend gentleman
reached the lady's chamber. The effort
at secrecy was for the purpose of biding the
situation, but death disclosed all.

Unionvillo, Mo., July 27.—During
the past few weeks a little girl ot G. W.
Bradshaw, of Richland township, this
county, has been in the habit of takin
food from the table and going out into a
field near the house and feeding a rattle-
snake which had made its abode in a
stump. A few days ago the child re-
marked to her mother that she had a pet
snake in a stump, and she was going out
to feed it. The mother thought her
child was only jesting, but* as soon as
the reptile had swallowed its meal it fol-
lowed the little one into the house,
where it was instantly killed by the
mother. This proved almost to be a
wrong act, for the reason that the child
was taken violently sick, and had spasms
for several hours afterwards, and was
frequented with them for several days.
The physicians think now, however, that
the child will recover after a few weeks'
treatment. This is a case in which it is
said the reptile had "charmed" the hu-
man being, and the death of the serpent
came near proving fatal to its subject.
Judge Lynch Visits Two State;. =
Petersburg, Ya., July 27.—Mrs. Richard
Savage, a highly respectable lady, living
in Surry county, was criminally assaulted
about two weeks ago by a negro named
Renben Coles. She had gone out for an
evening's walk, and when only a short dis-
tance from her home, she discovered the
negro concealed in a cluster of bushes, and
suspecting that his presence meant no
good she started off in a quick walk for
home. The negro then came out of his hi-
ding place and pursued and assaulted her.
Coles was arrested and committed the coun-
ty jail.
Ever since the occurrence strong threats
have been made of lynching Coles,who was
to have been tried iu the county court to-
day. All day yesterday there was a large
crowd at the county courthouse, and little
was talked of but the lynching of Mrs.
Savages' assailant. So determined did the
people appear that the sheriff had a strong
guard placed around the jail last night to
protect his prisoner. It wa3 the intention
of the sheriff to take Coles to Petersburg
to-day for safe keeping, but shortly before
midnight last night fifty armed and mask-
ed men made an attack on the jail, and,
overpowering the jailer and guards, took
Coles from his cell'and carried him a short
tance from the jail, where they hanged him
to the limb of a tree, from which his body
was found dangling this morning. Coles
leaves a wife and seven children, one of
them died last night.
"I'm One ot Your Men."
Hon. Henry McDonald made a speech
at Mt. Pleasant last Tuesday against pro-
hibition. "McDonald is a good speaker
and for awhile everything glided along
smoothly without a ripple ot any kind to
disturb the speaker or to divide the at-
tention of his hearers. He had got to
the point where he and his friends .had
almost concluded his speech would be a
success. But just then, right in the
midst of his blazing oratory, the very
climax of argument and rhetoric in be
half of personal liberty and man's ability
to govern himself, a brother anti came
staggering up the aisle and took a seat
near the speaker and began giving him
such marked attention that the audience
could not help dividing their attention
between the speaking anti and the sitting
one. Mr. McDonald not being willing
to divide time thusly, paused a moment
to interfere with the personal liberty of
the brother who was about to spoil a
good speech in this way, and according-
ly asked Capt. Lokey to be so good as
to take Mr. DeBoard, the intruding
brother, out. The audience, having lis-
tened to Mr. McDonald's argument on
self-government, suggested that the man
be let alone as he was fully capable of
self government. Nevertheless Capt.
Lokey proceeded to accompany DeBoard
to the door. DeBoard, feeling aggrieved
at such treatment at the hands of his
friends and thinking perhaps there must
be some mistake about the matter, stop-
ped before reaching the door and turned
to Mr. McDonald, who had resumed his
speech, and addressed him thusly: "Say,
Capt'n, I'm one of your men." This
brought down the house again with a per-
fect uproar of applause and McDonald
lost the day, and the occasion was one of
triumph to the prohibitionists.
McDonald's speech was so near to and
yet so far from being a success that he
feels bad over the matter and says it was
a trick of the prohibitionists. DeBoard
says it wasn't, and moreover if he has to
be treated that way by the antis he's

How She Was Saved-
Atlanta, Ga., July 27 —All day long,
crowds of people have stood around the
body of Reuben Hudson as it was swinging
from the limb of an oak tree just outside of
Redan. Yesterday Hudson overpowered
Mrs. Bush, a respectable white woman.
Blacks as well as whites turned out in
pursuit of the colored fiend. A strange
negro boarded the night train on the Geor-
gia road, and was at once arrested by the
conductor as the guilty person. He was
sent back to Redan, where he was fully
identified by Mrs, Bush and others who had
seen him. While the officers were- striving
to take Hudson away,Dr. Goldsmith riding
rapidly to the front, exclaimed,
"Come on. boys, follow me."
There was a dash made towards the wag-
on, and in a second Hudson was yanked
out on the ground, and as he hit the dirt a
stout new plow line was put around his
neck. In a moment the crowd wa3 in the
midst of a well shaded patch of woods.
The negro begged for time to pray and
then, while held up by the rope at tip toes,
he dictated a letter to his wife, in which he
acknowledged his crime. He then told the
crowd in answer to a question, that he had
no time to prepare for death and that he
would go to heil as soon as be died.
"Pull him up," yelled a hundred voices,
and a black figure shot upward, his tongue
shot out, and his eyes bulged, his body
gave a few convulsive quivers and then
hung still. The tree limb in a moment
more came down with a crash, but caught
before the negro's feet touched the ground
He was hanged at 8 a. m. and was dead in
ten minutes.
Atlantic City Letter.
To-day Miss Mary Steinmetz went in
swimming near Applegate's Pier. She had
no escort but she could swim. She lives
out in Germantown, and in bathing clothes
is regarded as a pretty brunette. She did
not seem to fear the high rolling breakers.
She headed them until she got near Apple-
gate's Pier. Press Agent Fielding was
there with his rescue rope, but she would
not take it. It was merely a rest for her,
clinging as she was to a part of the pier.
A life guard went out to save her, but she
swam away before he got to the danger
point. Suddenly, however, she gave a
scream. She had been caught with a cramp.
Turning on her back she tried to float and
she failed. The life guard, angry though
he was, quickly came to her rescue. They
were in deep water, and as he placed his
left arm under her there was a cheer from
the pier that told she was saved. It was a
narrow escape.
Physicians Have Found Out.
That a contaminating and foreign element in
the blood, developed by indigestion is the
cause of rheumatism. This settles upon the
sensitive sub-cutaneous covering of the mus-
cles aud ligaments of the joints, causing con
staut and shifting pain, and aggregating as a
calcareous chalky deposit, which produces
stiffness and distortion of the joints. Xo fact
which experience has demonstrated in regard
to Hostetter's Stomach Bitters h as stronger
evidence to support it than this, namely, that
this medicine of comprehensive uses checks
this formidable and atrocious disease, nor is it
less positively established that it is prefera-
ble to the poisons often used to arrest it.

Mrs- Benn's Strange Presentiment.
Louisa Benn, the daughter of a laborer
in Wednesburg, England, made her mind
to emigrate to Australia, and gained
the consent of her parents. Just be-
fore she was to sail, however, her mother
dreamed that the ship which was to carry
her daughtei struck a rock near the Aus-
tralian coast and went down with great loss
of life. She succeeded in persuading Lou-
isa from going, but not until the girl's bag-
gage had been placed on hoard the vessel
and every preparation made for her depart-
ure. The ship went down, as Mrs. Benn
had imagined it would, and among the
lives lost were those of several girls who
were to iipve been Louisa's companions
Spring Valley, N. Y., July 27.—Mary
A. and Catherine M., daughters of James
Reaney, living at No. 81 Hudson street,
New York, aged respectively 17 and 16
years, while bathing in what is known as
the Distillery Lake, one mile from here,
were drowned to-day. It is the custom for
the children from the many boarding hous-
es in the vicinity to gather at the lake to
take an afternoen bath. Mary and Cather-
ine were the first to enter the water, which
is fifteen feet deep. Neither could swim.
Mary ventured beyond a small raft that
had been in use, and went down. Cather-
ine became excited and tried to save her
sister. As Mary arose to the surface
Catherine heroically jumped to grasp her.
They locked in each other's arms and went
down for the second time. The children
on the beach had begun to realize the na-
ture ot the scene anti cried loudly for help
Three men were at work 300 yards away
ia the fields, but being accustomed to the
playful shouts of the children,did not heed
the ciies until too late to render assistance.
For the third time the sisteis rose, each
making frantic efforts to save the other.
With the most pitiful looks upon their fa-
ces, they disappeared for the last time.
The bodies were recovered and will be
buried in New York.
Palestine, Tex., July 30.—At 2 o'clock
last night near Nechesville, the residence
furniture and clothing, meat and other
out houses belonging to Mrs. Spencer
Hassell, were totally destroyed by fire. It
is believed to have been the act of an in-
cendiary. The loss is §3000. Mrs. Has-
sell has lately separated from her husband
by mutual agreement, and this homestead
was set aside to her in the division of
property.
Augusta, Ga., July 26.—A special to
hte Chronicle from Graniteville, S. C.,
asys: Virginia Hudson, a negro child,
aged 7 years, was jailed here to-day for
murder. She killed a child ! year old on
Saturday, and then threw the body in a
well. She struck her victim on the head
with a board until it was dead. This is
the youngest mnrdress ever known in this
section. Her imprisonment is merely a
matter of form.
Hastings, Neb., July 27 —James Conlay
received on Sunday last the body of his
only son, Hugh, who, it was reported, had
been killed iu the St. Thomas, Ont., rail-
road disaster two weeks ago. The body
was followed to the grave hj' the sorrowing
father, who has been at the point of death
since through grief. To-day the old man
was astonished to see his son walk into the
house alive and well, and then the discov-
ery was made that the body shipped here,
mourned over and buried was that of a
young man whose parents live in Canada.
Grand Rapids, Mich, July 27.—A double
tragedy occurred here this morning. C.
Weinar. late agent of the Metropolitan In-
surance Company, had a dispute with Mrs.
Stisan Bonfaly, his landlady, over an
I'
un-
lies iioardbill. Weinnr drew a revolver
and fired, killing her Weinar then shot
and killed himself. Weintr leaves a wid-
ow and three children at Paicrson, X. .1.

faly waa widow.
Seguin, Tex., Aug. l.~-Two young men
Robinson and Bramiey, who escajaed jail
here last week, were recaptured and lodg-
ed in jail. They are charged with robbery
and young Bramley has turned State's evi-
and confessed that he, Robinson, and one
Henry were at a cave one day last May,
and that Robinson shot Henry in the head,
killing him instantly. Bramley and Rob-
inson dragged the body into the cave and
covered it with rubbish. Bramley says
Robinson killed Henry because Henry was
captain of a band of robbers to which they
all belonged, and that Robinson aspired to
be chief. Bramley guided Sheriff MeGuffin
and others to the cave yesterday, and they
found the body as represented and other
relics of marauding expeditions. Robin-
son is abont 17 years old, and claims that
he wanted to excel the record of Jesse
James.
Newburgh, July 30.—An eleven-year-
old son of R. W. Chamberlain,fell through
the floor ot the cattle sheds on a farm at
Chester yesterday. He was picked up
unconscious, and it is still thought he
cannot live. Mrs. J. C. Chamberlain of
New York, the boy's grandmother, was
visiting there, and being affected with
heart disease, dropped dead at the sight
of the boy's injuries.
Many People Refuse to Take
Cod River Oil on account of its unpleasant
taste This difficulty has been overcome in
SCOTT'S EMULSION of Cod Liver Oil with
Ilypophosphites. It beiug as palatable au
milk, and the most valuable remedy knows
for the treatment of Consumption, Scrofula,
and Bronchitis, General Debility, Wasting
Diseases of Children, Chronic Coughs and
Colds, lias caused physicians in all parts of
the world to use it. Physicians report our
little patients take it with pleasure. Try
Scott's Emulsion and be convinced. Dr.
Thomas Hall, Holly Creek, Ga., writes: "I am
using Scott's Emnlsion in the case of a little
child one year old, wasting away, and it is im-
proving fast. Before nothing would stay in
its stomach, but the Emulsion agrees with it
perfectly." 36
Kansas City, July 29.—A special from
Kingston, Caldwell county, from a thor-
oughly reliable man, says a report has
just reached there of the finding of the
dead bodies of a man and woman in an
old wells two mile north of Catawba,
in the east part of that county. The

be those of James M. Fields and Amer-

last, and whose husband and wife, Wil-

have claimed all along that they had
eloped together and left the State.

After all the fight in this country against
the silver dollar in which England has been
referred to unceasingly by the gold men,
England is now arranging for the coinage of
a silver dollar. The Qneen has put a proc-
lamation in the papers stating that a new
coin will be issued called the double florin.
It is to contain 319 grains of silver, which
will make it a little larger than our dollar,
and pass at the rate of four shillings, or
one-fifth of a pound. Its value will be less
than our dollar while its size will be great-
er. It will pass for 97 cents and weigh
just $1.02, taking our dollar as the stan-
dard. The Englishmen will be so pleased
to get this dollar that they will consent to
carry the cart wheels around.—Ex.
