A QfEEK Fish : A California paper states that Mr. 

 Thomas .Mason, an express driver in San Francisco, 

 says that while fishing otl' Powder House Point, re- 

 ceutly, he caught a very strange fish, the name and 

 nature of which were unknown to him. He was out 

 in a boat with his son, a lad of thirteen years, and, 

 after fishing several hoiii-s, felt a powerful tug on his 

 line. He drew up quickly, and found a strange look- 

 ing object attached to his hook. It was almost round, 

 about the size of a frying pan, and covered with 

 spines, giving it the appearance of a hedgehog when 

 enraged. Its mouth was like a frog's, its eyes large 

 and of a yellowish color, while a tail a foot long and 

 barlied at the extremity added to the repulsiveness 

 of its appearance. Mr. Mason, however, found that 

 it was not only outwardly disagreeable, but, chanc- 

 ing to touch its tail as he drew it into the boat, re- 

 ceived a shock that made him let go of the line in 

 double-iiuick time. The fish accordingly went over- 

 board, and was lost. 



An Interesting Discovery. — Some workmen, 

 while engaged in laying water pipes in Cividale, Italy, 

 recently encountered a large Hat stone. On raising 

 this, a bed of mason work was revealed, in which was 

 jilaced a stone sarcophagus covered with a marble lid. 

 Within the receptacle were the remains of a human 

 skeleton, some portions of which were yet perfect. 

 Beside the body lay a sword, lance, helmet, spears, a 

 gold clasp and ring, a piece of very beautiful gold 

 tissue, and a flask of water, which was still remarka- 

 lily clean. The removal of clay from the bottom of 

 the grave brought out the letters CISVL — from which 

 arclufologists have decided that the remains are those 

 of Gisuif, Duke of the Lombard Marches of Friuli, 

 who Icll in battle in fill, while repelling an invasion 

 of the Avars. 



A Felonious Goat. She testified before the mag- 

 istrate that "dot pilly goats shoost was a-a-vell, I vas 

 vashing by some clodings of a pig tub, und dem gotes 

 coom up pehind und — veil, shoge, I (lon't ken tell you 

 dot vas. I feel someding pehind my pack, und shump 

 over der tub und sthand me on my head up mit dot 

 tub's pottoni up, und der clodings sphilt shoost like 

 me, und dem gotes vink at me mit von eyes und vag his 

 tails of mine face, and valk out py his pehind legs 

 like a man, und I can't sit me down cood any more 

 already." The goat was fined one (s)cent, which he 

 left behind. 



A MAN residing in Mill street, going home at a late 

 hour in tiie night saw that the occupants of a house 

 standing Hush with the street had left a window up, 

 and he decided to warn them and prevent a burglary. 

 Putting his head into the window he called out? 



'•Hello ! good peop !" That was all he said. A 



whole pailful of water struck him in the face, and as 

 he staggered back a woman shrieked out : "Didn't I 

 tell you what you'd get if you wasu't home by 

 o'clock? " 



Charles Dickens said that " the fir.st revelation 

 of the dry-rot in men is a tendency to lurk and 

 lounge ; to be at street corners without any intelligible 

 reason ; to be going anywhere when met ; to be about 

 many places rather than any; to do nothing tangible, 

 Imt to have an intention of performing a number of 

 tangible duties to morrow or the day after." 



A LITTLE BOY who was nearly starved by a stingy 

 uncle, (his guardian), with whom he lived, meeting 

 a lank greyhound one day iu the street, was asked 

 by his guardian what made the dog so thin. After 

 reflecting, the little fellow replied, "I suppose he 

 lives with his uncle." 



The other day an Irishman with a very heavy trunk 

 got into an omnibus, and sat himself down and held 

 the box on his knees. The conductor wanted to take 

 it from him. " But," says Paddy, " sure the poor 

 creatures of horses have enough to do to drag along 

 without that, and I'll carry it myself." 



When they came to examine the hull of the Great 

 Eastern they found fifty-two thousand square feet of 

 iron plate incrusted with mussels, iu some places to a 

 thickness of six inches. The total weight of these 

 incumbrances was estimated at three hundred tons, 

 enough to load two brigs or thirty freight cars. 



He who has never changed any of his opinions, 

 never corrected any of his mistakes; and he w^ho was 

 never wise enough to find out any mistakes in him- 

 self, will not be charitable enough to excuse what he 

 reckons mistakes in others.
