A CHIINESE GIANT.
Yaou Shan, a Chine-e giant, of eight
feet, three inches in height, and still
growing, is now on his way to England,
where he intends to exhibit hiimself. He
tells a strange story about his marvel
lous growth. When eig :teen years o!d
be was no taller than his companious of
that age. One day, however, lie caught
a strange looking, smooth skinuedl fish,
cooked it and ate it. Soon after his
feast ho became very sick, and when, at'
ter several weeks' confinement to his
bed, he left it, he discovered that he had
grown during the sickness, and has ever
since gone on growing. His head is very
small in comparison with his height.
This, he says, y*as caused by his not
eating the head of the fish. A dog ate
it, and the animal's head grew so large
that the Chinese, ont of pity, shot the
unfortunate creature.
A QUEER COLLECTION.
"Brandy, I hope," murmured a sailor
on a desert ilse, when he stoped to pick
up a large black bottle which the waves
had washed to his feet. "Beer, I expect,'
he said softly, pansing in his labor of
tugging at a somewhat obstinate co'rk.
,Trcts, by .go'" he iligalantly Sex
claimedh, when the cdilJvnig hit scarcely
convivial coutents of the flask w re ex
posed- to view."
The London Telcgia'li tells this story
in commenting upon a singular collection
of articles that were put in a bottle
which was placed recently beueatth the
orner-stone of a now college building at
Nottingham. In the bottle thlee were :
staples of lace and hoisery ; "ail Italian
silk stocking, a dozen of which only
weigh three and a-halfounces, as worn
by Queen Victoria;" ,,specimenls of the
presenlt in ladies and gentlemen's dros
and a few culTnet coins of tho realm."

they'll "do Authin.' Those who bet on

It's a derned no! Tlhey were taken down
to have their faces washed and the walls
cleaned. Mr. Liuncoln's picture was not
disturbed. After the faces of Sherman,

could be as easily cleaned and their lives
as well purified the country at large

TILE GAY SiEASON
is upon us, judging from the titled

Ebbitt house rotulida, is nightly filled
with Kinott's of Statesmen, wrestling ov

arollndl with lightening velocity on the
quhirice for that quarter, whilst tile hack
man on the outside bellows to the exiting
millnber, "Here's your old driver, Colonel!
The tolsoric vigilnut, scented and snlil
ing calls to each unshaven face that pas
ses, Walk right in Jnudge! yer nex." The
sidewalk in front of Willard's, at 10 a. m.
is strewn with bunches of Generals, Com
uiodore's and Admirals, fringing the pave
ment with big sunflower-like faces, the
buds on their noses, out rivalling the car
mine Geranium, as the crowds of Treasu
ry clerks hasten front their boarding
houses to their place of daily strife. These
go and more come whilst the Congres
sional band plays. and the Elephant goes
around gathering more big bugs, with
which to fill up the vacancy. Verily we
are a big people! "RoBERTS" the so-call
ed first-class riter-ess for our Don Piatt's
"Capital," says, if the Senate wants in
formation as to her alledged corruption
and rascally stealings in the "Limburger"
Department of Carl Schurz's, she'll jnst
ring her little Bell and inform them. All
right Bobbie, now who'll "form" on her
next. Stand up gentlemen of the Senate
and lets have both sides, for Bell-ringing

kindly declined a fee inll the case, and the

THE COMMOTION AT THE WHITE HOUSE
last Friday was the result of a Telephonic
Concert, given by a quartette of Treasury
clerks, by means of a Telephone connec
ted with the Presidential Mansion. The
concert opened with sacred music which
was continued for a while, until the at
mosphere became charged with a heavy
odor of stale-drink, when suddenly the
singing switched off f: om the Hymn bus
iness; aud "we won't go home till morn
in" and "Johnny fill up the bowl" was
blown in the White House, with the in
toxicating atmosphere still on the in
crease. Mrs. H- rushed to the telephon
ic tube and cried," are you mad." Give

The next day four yellow envelopes were

for their drinking contributions from

A FRAUD.
To the Editor of tIe .Y . lD Dapa.§.:c
The article published in your paper en
titled "Sad Fate of the Daughter of an
Ex-Governor of Florida," In justice to the
.ying and the dead requires an answer
at my hands.
The woman, "Heloen Manllde," was no
daughter or other relation of Ex-Governor
Moseley, as is incorrectly stated in your
article.
Governor Mosely, died at Palatha,in 1863
a widower, leaving three sons and three
daughters-the only children he ever had.
The eldest daughter, Elizabeth, married
T. S. Haughton, Esq., now County Judge
of Putman county, Florida. The young
est daughter, Alice, married Dr. N. H.
Moragne, also a resident of Putnam coun
ty; and the second daughter, Susan, mar
ried Joseph Hlusson, a lawyer, then and
now practicing in this city.
During the Mexican war with this
country, Wim. G. Moseley (the Governor's
eldest son) commenced enlisting a com
pany at Tallahassee to be under his com
mand; and a nhan named Sproul express
ed a wish to volunteer, but he did not
know what to do with his two children,
a boy and girl, whose mother had left
him and gone off. Governor Moseley
promised him that he wouhl look after
and care for them if he, from any cause,
failed to return.
As he did not return, the Governorsent
these two orphans up to his plantation,
where they were provided for the same
as the rest of his family. The girl, whose
name was IHelen, was quite pretty, and
withal willful and nnuvilhug to bear re
straint. Having no female in his house
qualified to keetp Ielet in subjection, lihe
placed her in care of a milliner at Tallia
hassee, to learn a trade. While here lheru
conduct sa becamne notorious for hlier
many improprieties, and she left with
somle man for parts unknown, whenl he
and his family lost sight of her. rlthis
Helon is undoubtedly the "Helen Mandle"
who has frandulent;ly attempted to pass
herselfoff as the daughter of Governor
Moselcy, and sought in this way to bring
symUpathly upon herlself, even tlhough it
brought disgrace upon Governor Moseley
and his daunghters, in heing related to one
so utterly depraved as your article prove
her to have been.
Respectfully yours,

(Communicated.)
BYAOU SARA, Nov. 8th 1871.
To the Editor Feliclana SENTINEL,
Ma. EDirron--I am tooiensible a wo
man to be suprised to find that the fash
ions or manners of my girl-hood no long
er prevail; nordo I fancy that those were
in all respects, better than the modern
ones. Iacknowledge that the present
classical drapery is not quite as clinging
as the dresses worn by Josejdhline and her
friends wLen Bonaparte was first Consul;
and that it is far more graceful and be
coming than the fashion prevailing when
I went to dancing school ('27 to 30.) I
never approved of the custom, prevalent
in tfe South in ante bellumn days, of ladies
reclining in their carriages, while bare
headed clerks, (gentlemen in every sense
of the word) brought them their richest
goods for inspection. It was then very
common fbr the capricious lady amid
this cmbarras de richesses, to order those
valuable goods sent to her house where
she would make her selection. That
these haughty airs added somewhat to
the bill, is not qulikely. My latter years
have been spent in retirement, and this
is probably one reason why, on a shop
ping excursion to a neighboring city this
summer, 1 felt startled at the change;
not so much in the merchandise-all
good in its place, but at the mixture of
heterogeneous articles. On one counter,
brocaded silk, grenadines, laces &c., on
the one opposite, cod-fish, onions, tobac
co. drugs, gun-powder (not the fragrant
leaf "that cheers"), co'l-oil and whiskey;
the last three warranted not to explode
when used with discretion. Then the
brusque manner of the salesmen: Hats
on and coats off, I presunlo must be one
of the new "notions" so extensively ad
vertised. It took me a little time to com
prehend that when I was asked to look
at some notions, the word meanut what
we used to call noiurcat t s. "Whatever
is, is right," was said by no less authori
ty than Pope; but I dissent even from
him. and still think "the times are out of
joint." "0 tempera, 0 mores !"

GOOD NATURED EDITING.
"Good natured editing," says some
wise man, spoils half the papers in the
United States." Yes, verily. "Will you
please publish the poetry I send," says
one, "it is my first etfort ; and some crude
lines go in to encourage budding genius.
"Our church is in great peril !" and a
long dolorous plea is inserted. "My
faither took your paper for twenty years,'
writes another, "I think you ought to
publish the resolutions passed by the
Big Brake church when he died," and in
go resolutions of no interest to a majority
of the readers. "I anu particular anxious
that the views I present go before the
church this week," and out go a covey of
:mall, pithy contributions, to mral.;o room
for three columns from a ponderons D. D.
"There is immediate necessity for the
exposure of one who is a bit ter enemy to
the truth," writes another, as he sends an
attack upon an antagonist which will
fill an entire page. "I am about to pub
lish a book, indentifying the Great Image
of brass, iron and clay, and I would be
obliged to you to publish tile .dvatcee
sheets of chapter V., which I inclose to
you." '"Why don't you publish in full
R's great speech in the general assembly?
It would increaso your circulation large
ly." "If onu will publish the sermon I
transmit to you, I will take eight extra
copies!" "The church must be aroused
on the subject f foreign mission," says a
pastor, as he forwards thine lalf of his last
Sabbath's sermon. And the ladies
