irriral of a 8«a Serpent and Babj on Ike Atlantic Coant—How tlicy Looted, and How, After Loolcin?, they Dlsnppeared—Tnrn of a Sea Captain. ^?,.v The good ship Scottish Bride, two months out from Bordeaux, which arrived at this port Sunday, was freighted with the Rtory of a larjrc marine monster, which the Captain, a.- there id nu duty on such merchandise, was enabled to unfold without delay.

When about two hundred miles off Delaware Bay. on the edge of the Gulf Stream, in latitude 33° 111' and longitude 74° S'. the weather grew suddenly cairn, and they saw the great sea serpent.

Captain Allen Mate.* that i»n the 23d of this month, when in the position above sot down, he descended to his eab.in at about noon. lie was just about eating his dinner when his sec ond mate descended the cabin stairs, and in an excited manner, told him his presence was required on deck. When he arrived on deck he found the crew assembled at the .starboard aide of the vessel, looking with awe •trickeo faces into the water.

Upon approaching the fide of tho vessel, the Captain saw in the water beneath a monster such as he had never seen before. It was about tweutylive feet in length, and proportionately thick its head was very large and flat, while at each side, on the extreme edge, were set two bright, scintillating eyes, which he says looked dangerous and wicked. Its back was covered with large scales, like the crocodile, about, three inches in length, which hooked together and formed an impenetrable armor. Its belly was of a tawny yellow color, and altogether hideous. It was accompanied by a smaller specimen of its own species, which may have been its offspring. This was but a few feet, in length, but iu shape and color closely resembled the larger one.

With the usual superstition thai always takes hold of this class, they regarded the serpent with a sort religious horror, and all the efforts the Captain to have them make attempt to capture it The thing was about the vessel, was lying below the surface

Capt. Allen thiuks that the monster came from the regions of Florida where he has often heard of similar creatures from other ship-masters and by following the warm current of the Gulf Stream it reached tho position where he found it.—X. 3*. Times The. 1.

Was lie a Prophet 1

Patrick Henry, nobody denies, was the greatest orator of the Revolutionary times. In that charactcr we have all heard of hitn at school we learned choice passages from his speeches and these aro heightened by traditional accounts of the effect they wrought on those who listened to them. A great English poet called him ''the forestborn Demosthenes." Rut it could not be said of him that he was a mere man ofjwords. A singular penetration and sagacity mark most of his famous utteranoes before and during the Revolution. When brave and wiae men were yet solacing thcmslvcs in thoughts of reconciliation and peace with England, Patrick Henry cricd

"We must fight I repeat it, sir, we must fight. An appeal to anus, and to the God of Host, is all that is left us. Gentlemen may cry peace, pence, but there is no peace." I

This was more than a year before the Declaration of Independence, which many thought precipitate. So. in ooansel, he saw what no counsellor of George the III foresaw—the intervention of European powers without which, it was the opinion of Jefferson, we should have failed to achieve Independence. One who then represented a very,'general opinion, said |to IIenry "Do you think that an infant nation as we are, without discipline, 9rtns, ammunition, ships of war or. money to procure them can oppose the fleets

was entirely discernible to all on board. Tho Captain gave orders to have a boat lowered to attack the monster, but in the meantime the attention of the smaller one was called to the presence of the vessel. Tt raised a few inches above the surface, and then went toward its larger friend, and seemed to tell it of the circumstance but whatever transpired between them the laiger one raised its head as though to investigate its surrouuding? and then, with an easy motion, it dropped into the ocean. In disappearing, it went head downward, and its body described a circle like a hook, its tail raising out of the water, which, the Captain says, tappered off to a point.

The calui that had beset the vessel in the morning now gave place to a strong northwest breeze, that, as night closed around, burst into a storm, accompanied by vivid lightuiug and rolling thunder. Tho ship was tossed about by the relentless ever and anon broke over great fury and during the whole of this fearful night the sailors would not go on deck without lanterns, such was their fear of meeting the mon ater. About morning tho storm died away, but until the following day, when they came in sight of land, the brave men entertained an unexpressed dread of the reappearance of the monster.

want the inclination to effect it. Hut he urged more general objections. It seemed to him to be a "consolidated government,"—that best ex pressed his fears of it. Tt menaced liberty. He said -'Happy will you be, if you miss the fate of those nations, who, omitting to resist their oppressers, or negligently suffer their liberty to be wrestled from them, have groaned under intolerable despotism. Most of the human race arc now in this deplorable condition. And those nations who have gone in search of f/rondcitt' and juiin nud .yilendor, have also fallen a sacrifice, and been the victims of their own folly. Tt was by such talk as this that l'atrick Henry lost his character as a prophet, at least in his own day and generation. The Federal Constitution, administered by pure and able men, under the eyes of a people vigilant over their liberty, this Constitution seemed to disappoint all the predictions of Hen ry. It became the cue of his admirers to shroud and palliute his opposition to it. which had not been justified by .the light of their day. Whether the men who held high debate with Henry and scoffed at his fears were right, and whether he, and those who voted with him, were wrong, is, indeed, a question not yet solved. Probably there arc many in Virginia now who do not hold the same opinion that was held by their forefathers. A State subjected absolutely to General Canby its representation in the Federal Congress denied to it its fate hanging upou tho uncertain councils of a hostile political faction—this condition might seem to vindicate the worst forebodings of her gifted son who sometimes sec medto rise upon the wing of genius almost to inspiration. We, however, deny that theso evils have followed necessarily and dircctly from the Constitution. But we have no time to debate the past it is iu the future that our interest lies. We believe the great peril of our times is the open effort of many to convert this government into that which rose before the mind of Heury, stripped of in its true fca-

eminent, it is because we like a great, splendid one. Some way or other we must be a great and mighty empire we must have an army and a navy and a number of things. Thi.-? Constitution is said to have beautiful features when come to examine these features they seem to me terribly frightful

It was by contesting these views of Ilcury that mcu as patriotic as he secured the adoption of the Constitution. They denied that he construed it rightly: but out of abundant caution they provided for the addition of ten articles that seemed to exclude even a pretence for the Federal power to invade civil liberty, and set up in its stead the old engine of tyranny—mil^ tary despotism. These ten articles, known as the ameudment of 1789, strengthen our view that the Constitution itself docs not justify the excesses committed in its name. The franker Radicals, indeed, long ago set up their own will, as a substitue for the fundamental law. aud all other laws. They aro, to-day, striving to make this a "consolidated government." While every great Frenchman of modern times sees in "consolidation" the curse of France while its military ruler is trying to appease public discontent with promises of "decentralization," I our Radicals take the old road to despqtism, and ignorantly, if not wickedI ly, try to centre all power in the Federal government. An amendment strips Indiaua of her power over sufferage, which the bayouet has already takeu away from Virginia. The majority in the coming Congress are blind devotees of military despotism, and will try to strenghten and spread it.

If they were truly to define the government they waut, it would be that the very thought of which appalled the soul of Patrick Henry, and if they prevail, he will iudeed have proved a true prophet. ,,

The Admiral C'rlcbton.

Towards the close of the sixteenth century, a young Scotsman traveled on the Continent, who possessed such wonderful proficiency in science, literature and gentlemanly accomplishments, that he acquired the name of "The Admirable Crichtou." He is reported to have been acquainted with twelve languages, to have mastered the whole circle of the sciences, to have been an accomplished orator, and to have possessed extraordinary skill iu painting, drawing, riding, fencing, dancing and playing on musical instruments. In addition to these wonderful accomplishments he possessed remarkable strength, and in physical beauty was a new Adonis. In the use of the sword or spear he was unapproachable. At Paris he is said to have entered a tournament and won all the honors: and later to have highly distinguished himself during his two years service in civil wars of France.

When iu his twenty-third year Crichton was invited or attracted to the Court of Mantua, and was soon aften appointed by the Duke tutor to his son, Vincenzo Gonzaga. Here his brilliant career was brought to an nntimely end.

tl the acce tance

They have tramped the constitution of the United States iu the dust, and, along with it, those observances of honesty, and economy, and propiety which made the law making power respected before they came into possession of Congress. The prevalent belief jn this country,, now that there is no honesty in official life, has begotten an impression that rottenness in legislation is inevitable, and the people are apathetic in examining the qualifications of candidates. For this belief and this apathy, the examplo of the Congress which meets to day is largely responsible, and for this alone it should be an object of suspic ion and abhorrencc.

If it had been bold and unblushing in the perpetration of its crimes, and in its evil and profligate course, it would not be so entirely repulsive. It has, however, sought to conceal its rottenness by hypocrisy. It has professed to be governed by "moral ideas" and to be "engaged in the interests of God and humanity." It has garnished official prostitution with gabble cf the "eternal principles of 'justice and freedom." Its worst work, and the one which was a hideous lible upon the white race of this country, and which "organized hell in the southern states," and was the sum of all that was meanest and most vicousj in legislation, was put forth as action in behalf of liberty and patriotism.

Such is the character of the congress which meets in Washington today. To look to i^cjpfessin for charity to a thief for^phesty to a lecher lor purity to a man incapable of religious convictions, and a scoundrel by nature and habit, for reverence and observance of what is most sacred and noble, would be as much an exercise of common sense as to expect fair and statesmanlike legislation from a congress which has made so scandalou? a record.— Chifogo Times the !ith.

When exhumation was decided on there was no opportunity to Inform Dr. Fuller of what was intended, as he lived two miles distant, and it was thought of pressing importance to lose no time in ascertaining the fact of the existence of life. lie was, however, notified the next morning of the steps taken, and was present until the final burial on that day, after the physicians of the village and others cognizant of the facts had, by the process of docomposition, become certain of the hopelessness of any further efforts to restore life.—Pnrthnul (Mich) Aih-er-tiser.

Book or Genesis—Letter Trom I'roressor Agassiz. [rrchi the Pittsburg Commercial, December J.]

A paragraph lias- been going the rounds of the press that Professor Louis Agassiz, iu a lecture room at Cambridge, denied the truth of the Book of Genesis as recorded iu the Bible. Professor Clark, of Scenery Hill, Washington County, Pennsylvania, sent tho paragraph to Professor Agassiz. and received the following reply To Dr. 15 Clark. Scenery Ilill, I'enn

SIR: Two or three weeks since I received a letter from you inclosing an extract from a newspaper, regarding a lecture delivered by me in Harvard. I am little in the habit of noticing things of this kind, being convenced that often it is useless, and having become from long habit somewhat callous to misrepresentations'

Something iu the tone of your letter makes me answer, unwilling to leave it unanswered, and I write to say that the statement you sent me is false. In some opening remarks of a course on geology, which I am now delivering in the University, I said that the "theological interpretation of the Book of Genesis giving six thousand years as the age of the world was a hinderance to the understanding of geological evidence, and no one who started with this idea, and allowed his researches to be influenced by it could be a geologist."

Now, granting that this is an evil fastened upou us for some time to come, there yet arises the point of how its burdens may be equalized. In the first place, why should we have a horde of officers, specially employed The taxes could all be collected by the State officials when they collect their owu State revenues, at one-fifth the cost which we now pay.

Then, again, the income tax, netting aboutr $40,000,000 per year, could be abolished, and the same amount of revenue derived by a National tax of 2 per cent, upon the bonds of the country. Taxes upon sales and licenses could be reduced by abolishing the National Banks and substituting greenbacks in their stead, which would saye §25,000,000 to 830,000,000 in the latter currency a year.

We must have an overhauling of the Internal Revenue Law, aod it must be adjusted upon some such principles as we have alluded to above, or the feeling will be to dispense with it altogether. It is an odious and hateful tax system, and almost every one is interested and in favor of its destruction! Those who vote iu favor of the omission to tax bonds and the National Banks, while they impose heavy contributions upon the poor clerk and mechanic, will bo held up to the reprobation of the people,

Encouraged by the past submission of the public, the Radical leaders think that the people will stand any thing, and that they can impose their exorbitant exactions for years to come. Bu,t ii£this they will be disappointed. The disposition of the people to bear burdens is uot now exactly what it was in 1S61 or 1862.

The Host Remarkable Father and Son. A most remarkable ease of consanguineous affection and sympathy is that of a father and son, living in the adjoining county of Fleming. The father is about forty-five years of age and the son uot yet twenty. When one has any complaint tho other is similarily affected. If the father has the headache the son has it at the same time if one suffers with the toothache, the other also suffers with it: when one gets a cold the other gets it also and so it goes on through all the catalogue of ordinary complaints. But yet more remarkable still is the similarity of their appetites, temperaments, and general actions. What one likes and eats, the other likes and eates and what one dislikes and won't eat, the other dislikes and won't eat, If one becomes angry, or gloomy, or happy, to the same degree and at the same time is the other angry, or gloomy, or happy.

They sneeze at the same time, sleep at the same time and the same number of hours, and, the most remarkable of all, they dream at the same time and the dream of one is the same as that of the other. We might go on and enumerate many other instances of the relationship existing between this father aud son, though the above are sufficient as a showing how strange and remarkable that relationship is—
