C. Axton, in the bay last Sun Jay evening. The fish was abou t eighteen inches long, with fins ex t ending the entire length of the veitebnu, and large flabby fins about three inches long anil one or two inches wide, one situated oil each side of the bod' immedi ately in the rear of the gills. The mouth was located under the head, and provided with sharp teeth. The eyes were large and of a bright transparent green in color. But the strongest feature -in the anatomy or "make-up" of the fish was the fact that it was provided with two legs, situated immedi ately in the rear of the fins on the lower and rear part of the fiody. There was also a horn-like per tuberance that extended from the nose about an inch in length. The color of the fish was variegated, apparently a spotted green. Old fishermen, who have examined it, say they have never seen anything like it either in Puget Sound waters or elsewhere. It is pre sented to the Young Naturalists of this city, in whose rooms it may be seen. They have certainly ob tained a rare specimen. Seattle Chronicle. New Light on the Gulf Stream. Commander Bartlelt's discourse on the Gulf Stream attracted much attention and seemed especially interesting to eminent strangers here. Commander Bartlett has been for some years investigating the stieam in connection with the coast survey, and he hastened heie without taking time to pre- that the Gulf Stream does not flow out of the gulf, that it does not flow over a bottom channel with ridges and valleys parallel with the Appalachian system, but that there is a wide plateau extending along the coast from Bermuda banks; that the stream flowing over this sweeps it clean to its hard coral bottom; that beyond this the bottom slopes rapidly downward and is 0023' with the wash from the plateau; that it is not a stream of warm water flow ing over cold; that the Arctic cur rent does not run inside; and in short he breaks a good many scientific idols pretty thoroughly. The unscientific were glad to know that a bottle of champagne sunk 100 fathoms had no airspace when withdrawn and that a bottle sunk 1,000 fathoms was taken up still properly corked and wired, but with hardly a taste of wine remain ing. At the conclusion of the ad dress Dr. Carpenter expressed his admiration of the work aMd added that it pleased him to know that the results were obtained with English instruments. To this Commander Bartlett replied that Sir William Thompson did invent an apparatus and kindly forwarded it to the coast survey, but it wouldn't work. Yankee ingenuity then invented an attachment which made it so efficient that soundinjrs of 3,000 fathoms can be made in thirty minutes and without deflect ing more than a fathom from the perpendicular.

The Presbyterians and Methodists have six missionaries. The Roman Catholics have one priest stationed at "Wrangle, and the Church of England is said to have one mis sinary near the head-waters of the great river Yukon. j Northern Pacific Progress 1 The Northern Pacific advancing from the east, has just crossed the Yellowstone at Billings, and there lies fifty-six miles of completed grade teady for the track-layers before another bridge is required. The end of September will see this point" reached, and then another bridge, all completed and ready to put together, will be thrown over the liver. Then fol lows another completed piece of grading fifty-eight miles to a sec ond crossing, which will occupy the track-lavers during October. After this second crossing is a third completed piece of grading, which will bring the road to its last crossing of the Yellowstone at Benson's landing, about the first of December. IT the winter is as open and mild as the last, the tiack will still advance, and Boe man is as likely to be the winter goal as Benson's landing. There will be no delay to await the com pletion of the tunnel, but a tem porary track over the divide will allow the work to progress steadily. Do You Kiow.

John Sawk, of Missouri valley, Iowa, is a wealthy farmer and stock-raiser, estimated to be worth $20,000. Recently he deed ed all his property to his son, on condition of the latter taking care of the old people for life. Young Sawk took possession, but at the end of six weeks violently and cruelly ejected his parents, telling them to, go the poor house. The old gentleman came to town cry ing, and his wife went to a neigh bor's. The deed had not been re corded. The old man went back and begged on his knees for only one more night's shelter. It was granted. During the night the old man crept to the bureau-drawer, obtained the deed and burnt it up. The light from the flames awoke the son, who, realizing that the game had turned and all was lost, piteously begged for mercy; but the old man threw him out of doors, got a constable to remove his furniture and took possession of the estate. j.ne uuiiiuer or. sairaon efrfjs taken at the United States fishery, on McCloud river, has only reached C50,000 so far this season. It is expected that 3,000,000 eggs only will be sent cast 'this year, which is about half the annual shipment. Farewell to Arabi. Alexandria, Sept. 14. Toulba Pasha has sent a flag of truce, of fering to sui render, and General "Wood telegraphed to General Wolslev for instructions. A depu tation from Cairo is at Kafr El J Dwar. wai.inir to come in. The I enemy have opened the canal and water is coming in rapidly. Ordeisj have been issued that the dyke at Meks into Lake Mariotis be closed. The conditions of surrender are not yet known. The general opin ion heie is that the natives wili de liver up Arabi Pasha to the Brit ish. British troops have been or dered to hold themselves in readi ness to take possession of Kafr El Dwar. Gen "Wolseley telegraphs about sixty guns were captured at lei EI Kebir. He says Arabi has gone to Cairo. Gen. Wolseley hopes the cavalry will occupy Bclbays to-day, and infantry will arrive to morrow, lie expects to take pos session of Benha to-day, and if all is well, to advance to Kelvook. if not to Cairo, with the guards. Gen. Wood telegraphs the war office from Alexandria that an of ficer from Kafa el Dwar brought a letter, saying that all the mili tary chiefs wish to submit to the khedive, and they have given or ders to open the canal dam and ask him to reopen the telegraph. They state that the army Hs stop ped all hostilities. It is reported that Arabi Pasha has been captured near Benna. London, Sept. 1. The Times, in an arlicle on the attack on Tel el Kebir, says it is impossible to conceive of anything more suc- cessiul and executed m a more ruitsterlv-- mannei. The whole pMan'of the campaign was settled by Gen. Wolseley with concur rence of his superiors and hearty acquescence of his advisors, be fore he left England. There never was any question about the canal being the base of operations, and before he left England he put his finger upon Tel el Kebir, say ing there Arabi would stand, and we should attack him on the 15th of September. Paris, Sept. 1-1. The minister of foreign affairs has sent u tele gram to the French ambassador to London, instructing him to con vey to Lord Granville the con gratulations of the French govern ment, and assure Granville of the cordial satisfaction he feels at the news of the splendid English tri umph. Rice is a cent a nound in China. Two pounds of rice will keep a family. To this add two cents' worth of oil or fat, with vinegar, and the Chinaman is as happy as the hoodUim would be at Del monico's. Jn California the Chi naman eats rice, hog's lights, ears, feet and entrails. A Chinese butcher will supply a hundred cus tomers with a dollar's worth of pork scraps. The oil they eat is cheap fish oil, worth twenty cents a gallon. They import their rice, dried fish and cheap fish oil from China. They bring over their dried shrimps in 200-pound bales done up in palmetto leaves. They drink no milk or sugar in their tea. They live as cheaply and meanly as a Comanche Indian, but work like Cornish miners. During the month of August, 1274 miles of railroad were built in the United States. This is the greatest number of miles ever built in one month. Sparkling Eyes. Rosy checks and clear complexion only accompany good health.
