ACL'TKNKSS OF THE RAVEN. 'levemess of the Feathered Hero of Foe's Poem. .Most animals are no match at all for th? raven's cleverness. There was once a poor hare that allowed herself to be completely bamboozled. The raven pounced at the leveret -as the baby hare is" called but the mother drove the rascal away, says the Brandon Banner. But did the raven ceas from troubling! Ivot a bit of it. lie slowly retreated, en couraging the hare to follow him. up, and pretended even that he was afraid of her. In this fashion he led the unhappy mother to a considerable distance from her young one, and then, all of a sudden long be fore thfi hare had time to realize the danger of the trick rose in the air, flew swiftly back, caught the leveret in his beak and bore it away. A similar plan was adopted by some ravens, th it wished to steal food from a doc They teased him till he grew so angry tnat he cnasea them irorn the pot. But the wicked 'birds turned sharply around, easily reached the disb bcfoie him, and carried off the choicer bits in triumph. As to the' raven's power of speech, th following story, which is given on the authority of Capt. Brown, who vouches for its truth, "will show how aptly it can talk: A gentleman while traveling through a wood in the South of England was sud denly alarmed by hearing a shout, ''Fair play, gentlemen ! fair play !" muttered very earnestly, in loud tones. The crj bring repeated presently the wayfarer thought it might proceed from some one ic distress, and at once began to search foi him. In due course "the came upon a couple of ravens attacking a third in a most brutal manner. He was so struck with the oppressed bird's appeal that he rescued it without delay. It turned out that the bullies' victim was a ame raven belonging to a house ic the neighborhood. Happily it knew how to use the catch w6rd3 that it had so adroitly learned. A Remarkable Lake. Near Koberbrunn, in Silesia, is a re markable lake, which scientific men dt not yet understand. There is a hollow near the town containing about 2,600 acres, and at intervals of nearly thirty years it is converted into a lake. For a short time the bottom of the hollow is almost perfectly dry. Then water begins tc ooze through the hills that wall it in, bursts through the bottom of the hollow, and gradually forms a lake. At present the hollow is about half full of water, and the level of the lake is still nsmg: In a short time, however, it is expectefl to recede airain. and in the course ol the taext twelve years or so the hollo will 'probably be waterless for a time. No phenomenon exactly like this if known in any part of the world; inert is something like it, however, in Hun carv, where the Lake of Ncusiedl ha.' several times dried up. During the las' two years it has lost half of its water, and is now not much more than thre feet deep. The Hungarian governmen' has to drain off the. water into the Raal river. The ground is not swampy, an it can be used at once for agriculture purposes. How Jules Verne Writes.

Turner, of Atlanta, was asked here what incentive the colored people had to sup port the Democratic party in the late election of that State. He replied that "there was no special incentive as far as the Democratic party wa concerned. A large number of the colored people did vote for the re-election of Governoi Northen, who had no interest in the Democratic ticket, and indeed, many voted for him alone. Governor Northen was the first Southern Governor, said the Bishop, who had openly spoken out against lynching negroes, and had dared to offer a reward for that class of iuhu man brutes who were making our coun try a hiss and a byword throughout the globe, and inasmuch as the position takeu by thi Governor had been bene ficial of good results, many colored peo pie felt that their votes were due him under the circumstances . This great nation is too weak, worthless or mean to put down these midnight mobs who break jails aud murder innocent men by hundreds, and if God has put it in the heart of one Christian Democratic Gov ernor to try to stem the torrent of blood and slaughter, he shall have my vote." Bishop Turner says he still favors Af rican emigration for such of hU people as uavc suuis aua uatsuuucs. u c c&cs no manhood future here for the negro. The colored people will never be re spected until tbey found a nation and intelligently run the same . GOVERNMENT COTTON REPORT. The Deterioration Least in Texas and Heaviest in North Carolina. Washington, D. C The statistcian of the Department of Agriculture reports a reduction of 3 points in the general percentage of the condition of cotton, from 76.8 in September to 73.3 in Octo ber. The deterioration is heaviest in North Carolina, aid least in Texas of uny of the States of considerable production Georgia has maintained its condition better than any other Atlantic State. The percentages are : Virginia 7 1 , North Carolina 69, South Carolina 73, Georgia 75, Florida 63, Alabama 69, Mississippi 72, Louisiana 71, Texa3 77, Arkansas 74, Tennessee 75. Rain in the early part of September and cool nights later have caused the rotting of immature bolls in Nor'.h Caro lina an i South Carolina. The crop is maturing somewhat better in G? rgia, though excels of mois'urc in the South ern counties has been iju ious. Tho low condit'on of Florid i cotton in Sep tember has been further depressed by heavy and iocessant rainfall, which has delayed p'eking. The low Status of the Alabama, breadth is the result of wet weather insufficient cul ivation, dispo portionate growth of stalk and fruit, and rotting of young b .-lis. Somewhat more favorab'e influences ii Mississippi give rise to more cheerful reports. Louisiana cotton is very !ats tnd unpromisirg from excessive moisture through the season to September 15 h, and cool nights since, which dis ourages expectations of late planters There is 1.6S tomplamt and aiscoaiaemeat in Texas than in any other State. Areas plan'ed late in Ar kansas are very unpromising, though recent favorable wea'her is rapidly opening the early bolls. Favorable weather has recently succeeded the heavy rains in Tennessee, and bolls are be gin nine to open A late and favorable autumn can alone dispel the prevailing discouragement. The boll worm is most frequently mentioned west of the Missis sippi. The caterpillar has wrought some injury in the southern belt.

Extraordinary Reptile Found In New stiver lnier, Dionas-riensy o Great Sea Serpent in the Past. INCREASED faith in the existeaca of an unknown marine reptile of vast size is felt since the recent an nouncement by Professor Holder of; the discovery of the actual carcass of; inch a creature in Florida. According; to his account, the Rev. Dr. Gordon, of! Milwaukee, President of the United States Humane Society, was fishing i a New River Inlet, when the flukes of his anchor caught and pulled to the surface the dead body of a snake-like animal; forty-two feet long, though lacking bothj head and tail. It was partly decomposed, and the belly was ripped open. Two! small flippers were remarked. With thei intention to preserve its bones, it was dragged up on snore ana leit to rot; ou; most unfortunately a hurricane came,' and this invaluable find was swept away by the waves and lost. Nevertheless, the record of it confirms the attitude of science in this matter, which has never denied the possible survival of certain gigantic reptillian. types of past ages, which would correspond fairly well with the numerous descriptions of the alleged; sea serpent. Although such a theory is pooh-poohed by the ignorant, Agassis believed in it,' as do many eminent think-',, ers to-day, basing their opinion upon the affirmative testimony of eye-trit-j nesses. .When it is considered that two, thirds of the earth's surface is covered with water, the depth of which, mile and miles beneath the waves, has never been approached by human explorer,; who can say what huge and formless monsters may not lurk there in the dark ness of an aqueous night never illumined by a sun's ray! The description given by the Rev. Dr. Gordon of the carcass found by him in New River Inlet, might apply very well to certain gigantic reptiles of tho Cre-. taceous Epoch, exceedingly numerous ia those days which are supposed to havo been the ancestors of modern snakes and lizards. One species, the Clidastos, was about the same size, attaining a length of forty-five feet. Another,the Mosasaurna maximus was nearly twice as big.measur ing when full grown not less than eighty feet. Yet larger was the Liodon, hugest of all the mighty saurians of that van- ished era, which had a long muzzle that is surmised to have been used as a ram infighting. These enoruous creatures, in general form resembling eels, plowed the waters with four paddles and a propellor-like tail ia purcuit of the fishes which were their, food. Their heads were large and flat, and they iwallowed their prey whole, being able lO TaKe fa nmmale vi giww t, 'themselves, owing to tho araagement of their jaws, which were providei midway in their length with hinges. When they ;lived, this continent was lower than it i now. New Jersey and Deleware, as well as most of the southern States, wei kinder water, and the Rocky Mountains ;in places 10,000 feet less elevated than at present, appeared as a rangi separated from the valley of the Mississippi by a ,'broad expanse of salt water, that was iu fact an inland sea, teeming with animal ;life. ' In those days real sea serpents not only existed, but their numbers were al- most mcalcuaoie, as is proved oy tneir bones left behind in the rock of subsequent formations, and in many cases so per jfectly preserved that entire skeletons have been found and mounted in the jmuseums. Professor O. O. Marsh, oi -New Haven, speaks of having seen ai jmany as six of theso fossil monsters in view at the same time in one small gallery out West. After all, the question is merely one of size, inasmuch as marine isnakes are very plentiful at present id some parts of the world. They swarm in the Indian Ocean, and a naval officer was jtelling me the other day that he had seeu them in shoals of thousands together ic ,the Gulf of Siam. So numerous wer they that it was necessary to thread th cables, while at anchor, through barrels, in order to prevect the reptiles from climbing up the ropes and coming aboard while the ship was at anchor Nor was such a precaution bv any mean: superfluous, owing to the fact that, ai one may learn by turning to the Standarc Natural History, these serpents are mos dangerously poisonous.
