The men who secure the ap- poi ntment must bo gentlemen of wealth and state reputation who wish _the position more forits social features and the hounor con- 1 with it than for the compensation received.

Then biddy came back, pitched i hussy, fairly in and sat down on the kittens, evidently inferring they were a new kind of chick- ens she had hatched in a moment of mental abstraction, 3 For a day or two the hen brooded away, and the unhappy cat stalked about the premises, watching for an op- portunity to get back her own. At the end of three days the hen had to quit the old stand for food and water, and prompt- ly the cat slipped into the nest, and, tak- ing the kittens one by one by the scruff of the neck, transported them all to a distant part of the haymow. Then came Biddy home again, and when she found the fledglings flown she d another noisy row all about the farm, She looked alow and aloft, vainly for awhile, for the missing brood, and finally found them ranged li on a telegraph pole arm alongs pavent cat, in there was a battle and again the ‘old cat had to fleo from the furious henpecking, but she took along one kitten in her teeth, while the hen held the field of battle and four feline spoils.

Crossley of the three- masted schooner Edward F. Mansfield, which urrived at Baltimore recently from Charleston to P. Harding & Co., had o rough experienco off Hatteras th a large school of whales on Tues- day, the 8th inst. The schooner had . narrow escape from going to the bottom by being in collision with one of the monste Cap- tain Crossley, who is familiarly known as “Honest John” among the shipping men, says ho never wants to have i expericnce. On the morning of the Sth the schooner was bowling along under a strong breeze from the southwest when the mate sung out that there was a school of whales a short distance off. They were heading to the eastward, about thirty miles north of Cape Hat- teras. There were whout thivty in the lot, some large and some small, and they were frisking about in the water as if enjoying the fine weather, The vessel was making about ten knots when, about m., there was a sudden thud and a rattling of chains forward and the ves- sel lurched u bit, There were a serie of heavy thumnps along the keel of the vessel, und, looking astern, Captain Crossley was \\upl" 2d to see the body of a lurge whale coming up from under the rudder. , rolling over and over, was hard hit, and the water for around was red with the wha blood. The whale remained qu about two hundr, £ u-m-xn of the ship, and like in “*Pinafore,” he be, “a slushing of his tail, great gash on his left side showed 156 of his anger, and the blood wis pouring out by the bucketfuls, tinging the ocean all around. He lashed and beat the wnter with his tail until all around him was a mass of red fi At times he rose half out of the wa and his tail was fully ten feet out. The schooner was making good time and the monster was soon lost sight of. The vessel was not damaged at all, but the shock of the collision wus very great, Captain Crossley said he had a mind to take the whale in tow and bring him to this city, and dry him out for the sake of the oil, The whale wasabout seventy- five feet long and would have yiclded about sixty barrels. Swallowed by an Atligator. Tim Smith, a eolored luborer working on W. I\ Fuller’s orange grove at Edge- er, comes to Palatka nearly every day in a rowboat, says the Palatka Her- ald. To do this he'is compelled to pass Buzzard island, a dark and lonely place, grown up with brash and inhabited by all sorts of wild birds, and may well be termed the home of the alligator, owing to its quictness and dark waters, which are seldom disturbed beyond the ripple of an oar manipulated by the huntsman, For several weeks Tim Smith noticed a particularly large alligator, whose back was filled with barnacles and long green moss, The alligator was never known to demonstrate any fear, and would not get out of Smith’s way under any consideration, allowing him to row rather close toward him. Last Thursday for town, he put o Winchester riflo his boat for the express purpose of give ing his gatorship a load of cold lead. n opposite Buzzard island the alli- wppeared, and, rowing*to within range, Smith fired five shots at the [ an, all of which seemed to take effect, for the alligator made a_terriblo Ilu(tm' in the water, and turned over on hack. hree days later Smith found the dead alligator flonting near by, and tying o rope about its head, towed it to the Idgewater grove, when the alligator was found to measure sixteen feet three and one-half inches in length, two balls having entered the skin just back of the head, Smith then set to the saurian for market, great surprise the darke) human skull, perfectly formed and un- broken, but owing to ‘the superstitiouss ness of the negro he stopped skinning the alligator, which 0])1-|n|i0n wus fin- ished by a white employe on the grove. Purther dissection brought to light a gold watch bearing the initials G, L. T.” The skull and watch are now on exs hibition at Fry's taxidermy store. ‘Who the unfortunate muan was no one seems to know, as the initials are not familiar about here, but it is supposed that he was some sportsman who, alone, was attacked and devoured by the alli- gator, as is quite often the case with Northern tourists who come to Floridaand navigate its streams without a guide to p them from the dark and dangerous tributarics that empty into the St John's, work and skinned when to his CAMOE UCross i Her 'rm- Injured by Lightning.

The lightning hit it the other evening, Mrs, Buttery was at her sinlg washing dishes, and o " tremendous ele trie how-de-do rolled and crucked oyers head. Suddenly a lunce of lightning shot straight down from the black sky, went down through the house and thén slid down Mrs. Buttery at the sink. It didn’t do its worst, but it blistered her right arm, crossed over and went down her right leg, burned a hole in the toe of her stocking and jammed her toe ver, badly. She was knocked senseless for & moment, but when she regained her senses and feet, a minute later, she was all right, except that she went lame and was somewhat dizzy, She said she di not know that she hind been h streak of lightning, heard no crash.
