The National Humilation That is a memorable da in any nian's , life in Which he gains a new and thril-. link experience. Experience gives val- Ue to life. Experience gives form and ' force to character. Experience develops mind. 1-:...xperience gives wisdom. Even the experience of a great calamity or a sore affliction is not, without its value to a \Sell ordered mind. And though -pain ful and crushing at the time, the dark season in which it was endured is after ward looked h.rek upon with the fct , that it has left a rich, legoey for tltie mortal spirit, and hffordcd a valuable training for the intellect and lioart What is true of the individual i , true also of communities and nation. No national life can he rich or valual,!.• source of instruction to mankH . d which is wanting in a wide and varied experi• CTIQC. No nation .1 character can be fully formed or maturely developed, which has not telt the play of all the main hirees whpli heave and impel the great life-cur rents of humanity ; and that mitional his tory is the richest anti r rest, the mos, interesting and instructive, which leads the student through the most varied arid vivid phenomena of human experience If these trite remaiks be true we may safely sPy that; the- experiences of this country during the past four years, and especially during the past Iwo months, must be exceedingly rich and valuable for all the Lists . and interests of the fu ture Such heights of lofty endeavor, such vast and far reaching, problems, such gigantic and portentous petits, it has rarely been the hit of any people in so short a space of time, to attempt and to conquer I= Ind such extremes and alter nations of hope and fear. of danger and deliverance, of confidence and desponden cy, of exultation and grief, it has rarely been the lot of any people to experience in such quick and rapid succession. This varied and shifting experience has been ours, in greater or less degree. front the time of the first battle of Bull Hun until the recent and final decisive triumph of the national arms. And what an in- . tense experience was that for the nation al heart when it was called to plunge from the giddiest heights of exultation to the deepest and darkest shades of gloom and grief; as it realized the monstrous and almost incredible fact that the na tion's chosen head was stricken down by the dastardly hand of an assassin ! The eagle of the Alleghenies, soaring in ma jesty and pride on his broad wings just beneath the clouds, shot at and struck in the wing by the well directed aim of the hunter, and obliged to sink and flutter Away to the escapement on some friendly rock, there in solitude and silence with drooping pinion to nurse his wound and his grief, is but a feeble emblem of the plunge mad.: by the wounded heart of the American people front the gilded cloud laud of joy, to the valley of sad ness and humiliation. The contrast could not be greater, or the fluctuations of feel ing be more violent, if the bridegroom in his nuptial hour were to fall dead at the feet of his bride, and the' wedding robe be exchanged for the weeds of mourning. The nation seemed to be m the ecstacy of the marriage hour—illuminations and rejoicings and the salvos of cannon from the Atlantic to the Pacific—" all went merry as a marriage bell," when 10, a flash of tidings'swept over the land, and , men looked into each, other's faces in blank amazement,—the laborer left his toil, the student his books, the merchant his wares,--the heart of the nation stood still. Such a grief, such a sorrow will not be ftirgotten by this generation. Precisely such an experience as this was perhaps never given to any other people. The assassination of Will-'am of Orange was a far more terrible event for-the Dutch Republic) than the murder of Abraham lincoln was for us. In point of severity the blow was car heavi er. A man of wonderful sagacity, firm ness and heroic endurance; 'he had con centrated upon himself in an extraordi nary manner, the affections and hopes of that much suffering and enduring peo ple; and for twenty years ho had been the guiding spirit•.of their stubborn re, sistanoe to the gigantic power of Spain. , d o C14, 1 \ 4 44 ,1 • RHEEM & WEAKLEY, Editors & Proprietors 2diustint SSSJUUtIigiI;B. HY BEV. JOSEPH CLARK When he fell by the pistol of Balthasar Gerard the whole people, like a family of orphaned children, bowed their heads in the dust and wept. But between their experience and ours there was this dif ference Their blow fell upon them at a time of general disaster and adversity Toe armies of Philip had been steadily Unclenching upon their limited territory. Several of their strongholds had just sur rendered, and a general despondency would have seized the minds of any less resolute people. But they were inured to suffering. They were accustomed to disaster. They seemed to know they could not be compacted, and though the fall of the great Stadiholde• added a feel ing of momentary paralysis, the mind of the people soon rose above it ; and there was not that sudden and violent transi tion from the exultant feelings of joy to the gloom and sadnus of distress which we as a nation experienced. Ours was like a harsh, grating, discord breaking in upon the magnificent symphonies of the Oratorio of the Creation ; or like a dark blotch cast upon the canvass of Eaphacl or Titian ; or like a grinning death's head 6ppeariug amid the maze's of the merry dance. And this is the event my fellow-citi zens which has brought us together to day. ln view of it, we have assembled at the call of the chief Magistrate, to humble ourselves before Almighty God, and to lift up to the throne of the uni verse the voice of confession and suppli cation. For the first time in the history of this Republic has its Chief i‘lagistrate fallen by the hand of vii ler cc. For the first time has assascinatiim, in the form of regicide, raised its bloody hand amid the temple of our liberties. That foul and monstrous crime which we sup!. sod to belong to the past ages of de,cot le op puisi,on and lawless violence, bvs snd d, my re-Nip:lied in the middle of this 1!)th century, and in this Republic in which is being conducted the inagnifi- cent experiment of self government.— When we have read of the Great Cfcsar, who bestrode the world like a Co!opus, tall ng in his robes by the dagger of Bru tus in the Roman Capital, or of Henry of Navarre filling by the hand of an assassin in the stormy period of French history, or of William the silent being shot in his dining room at Delft by the fanatical emissary of Philip of `pain, we have been aceu - stemed to- rett-d- of them us we read of the centaurs and hippogriffa of mythology ; as things that could not be reproduced in modern history, and as things, especially, that were not to he ex pected away front the shadow of Euro pean despotisms. That foul crime which has served the double purpose of being the 61(0 of the despot, and the desperate resort of oppressed and maddened peo ples, has suddenly reappeared in this country when there can be no despot, and no oppression save that which the en forcement, of law visits upon offenders Flow wonderfully, my friends, have many of the easy and comfortable delu sions of these latter years been dispelled by the hard ordeal of facts ! In the midst of the syren song of the jorri,, ten de'iwit's of the present age, in which it was hoped that arbitration would take the place of the sword, a congress of na tions supplant contending armies, the arts of peace, the interests of commerce, and the bonds of trade make war impossible, and //7,rt 11 , "orb-111y be the motto of all mankind—in the midst o this syren sung, a civil wiry of unparal• leled magnitude breaks out among us and deluges the land in blood. Whilst po litical cconotnisk were theorizing upon the economy of production z.nd the hus banding of the national Wealth, we rush into a war that expends fabulous :urns on engines and means of destruction. Whilst we were congratulating our,elvcs on our comparative freedom from taxation, and the unequalled cheapness of our govern. merit, we are forced into a war which piles upon us a load of national debt, which perhaps no other nation could suc cessfully carry. And now with all our boasted enlightenment, our Christianity and our common schools, we are called to face the fact of a crime as foul and hide ous as ever blackened the pages of his tory. Verily, says the wise man, that which bath been shall be, and there -is nothing new under the sun ! In view then of this portentous event, which has come upon us as a nation, with what feelings and meditations does it be come. us to assemble together to-day ? 11 - Ow *shall wo present ourselves before the majesty of Heaven and offer an accepta ble worship ? It is designated as a (lay of humiliation. And in this view there is a propriety in it which cannot be questior.- ed. It is always proper for such a being as man, in - seasons of special calamity, or public distress, or public crime, to hum ble himself before Almighty God , to con fess and bewail his sins, and shortcomings, and the sine of the people, and to suppli cate the. favor and blessing of God upon the land, and the rulers and people there of. Whether great• public distress, or na tional calamity, 'or public crime, can be charged upon any particular form of pub lie sin or not, they are still evidences of the general, depraved and diserdei:ed con dition of 'mankind, and as such may pre perly lead to abasement and contrition be fore God.— ' ' • 4-,k *"4 re • s.ft ({. • ) am free to confess that I have no theory of the Divine Providence, consist ent with the commonly received opinions of the purposes and inethOds of the moral government of the world, which will at the same time involve such a (Med as that which laid low in death the fonn of Abra ham Lincoln on the night of the 14th of April. It must remain to my mind a dark and mysterious enigma; so far as concerns its immediate relation to a per sonal God. If it were necessary (human ly speaking) to remove Abraham Lincoln from the head of this government, how easy would it have been for God to have removed him in many ways, without int o volving the monstrous crime which filled the brain and nerved the arm of the as sassin. But this is a question which we are not competent to discuss, and how ever dark and mysterious it may be, our confidence in the Divine character and the Divine government must remain firm and unshaken. It is impossible for any sane Ulllll, in any event, to question either the Divine wisdom, or the Divine good ness, or the Divine.power. But however defective inay be our the ories, and however imperfect our grasp of the wide scope and meaning of the Divine Providence, we have clearly before Our view the hard and palpable ftri, of this Providence as developed in history anal life. We have /To.: which are the great instructors of mankind; and we can trace tendencies, we can discover laws, we can perceive the current of influences, we can trace the combinations and corelations of causes which determine events, and here in we study the foot-steps of' Providence and may do so inure properly than by wearyin L r, our: elves with fruitless theories respecting the Divine. put-poses and inten- tiOnS We think it cannot be denied that the net which aimed a fatal Mow at our lawenred Chi,l INlagli,orate and at the other Lead , of Government, was the I. gi timate flower and fruit of the social die ord. r, tie anarchical violence. aifd the en venouicd inailnes:, which have been roll ing the waves of rebellion n! - rainstt th fabric of our Government fur the pa. four years. This we think no candiitan honest man will deny, even though the leaders in rebellion lie exhonerated of al direct emnplieity in the plot. The pub lisped views and opinion; of the chile criminal, prior to the ac , , clearly prove that the inspiration of his horrid deed ITallerivetl fi•omsytnpatliy and that the climax of the fatal purpose was VC:U.II6i through desire to avenge ;dril:imi, cause. Secessii,n and rebellion have culminated in asiis:dnatinti, and crime against. society and against Govern went, has re , nltoci in a crime m2ainbt man kind. no forth int, the fields mid see what les , ons nuture will tc:tell us. You stand in the prc, , ence of a Lush, or fruit tFCC, or giganiie fullest oak. You exam ine its bark, it. is soft and flexible. You examine its fibre, it is, hard and compact Yon examine its roots, they go far down into the - iattip 'and dark earth. You go up among the branches, the leai , es give a pleasant shade, and the airs of heaven whisper and play among their bowers. You go farther up, and upon the topmost twigs, you find a little flower, which will ripen into a fruit, a seed, a vital germ. That flower, that fruit, that seed, is the highest representative of the vital force of the living organism, its last, expression— the most consummate product of the semi nal power of the tree ; small and insigni ficant as it seems in itself, it required the highest, vital force for its production, and beyond it cannot go, so with this great Southern Rebellion. If we examine it at various stages of its progress, though we may find it ribbed and panoplied in steel, bristling with cannon, and, surrounded with all the pomp and circumstance of war, though we may find it assuming the dignity of Government and putting forth claims for a position among the nations, yet its final flower and fruit, its last cx pression, its dying effort, is found in the deed which the nation mourns this day ! Like the fabled reptile which thrusts its deadly sting and dies. The rebellion smote down the chosen head of the na tion, and perished itself amid the execra tions of the civilized world. Whilst we mourn and humble ousel -ves before God thig day, it becomes us to remember,some things with gratitude. Tt is a ,most wise and merciful provision of God's moral Government that crime gen erally defeats its own ends; and often oc• casions results quite the opposite of what was intended. We ought to be grateful that this foul deed was not permitted to occur until it could do the nation no harm —but may be an occasion of good. When we look back over the vicissitudes of the past four years, and remember how at times the tide of war seemed to surge a gainst, us, and heart of the People to quail in view of the titanic task to which the nation ma-committed, we can point out several periods, in which, had such a blow. fallen upon us, the most disastrous results might have followed. Had an assassin taken the life of Abraham Lincoln and dangerously wounded the Secretary Of State, just after the retreat from the Peninsula and the second battle of Bull Run, or when our - relations with g 4g iand were•in a critical state, or when the hordes of Lee...wele pouring into ,Pennsylvania, no human sagacity oould have foreseen ~ . . 4 a•. ,--,,;•• • ii , ,1 ' ,tk , t ...

It appears to be a law of God's natural and moral world, that no good thing can be !Yelped and held without /'slur rind . Hence we see that all the great interests of human society, all the great achievements of human progress, all the priceless benefits of civilization, liberty, law and religion have been purchased at the price of human blood and treasure. The ponderous chariot wheels of human progress, ever rollingcn through the ages, slowly but surely as the stars move in courses, are even found to leave in their track the crushed bodies and mangled limbs of thousands of victims. And now from the swamps of the Peninsula, the fields of Corinth and Chattanooga, the hills of Antietam, the cemetery of Get tysburg and the trenches of Petersburg, and piled into one cloud-kissing monu ment like Tamerlane's pyramid of skulls, it might well bear the inscription "Hal lowed by devotion to the great idea of American nationality and human progress.' And could we go to-day into the stricken, and sorrowing homes of this land, were the widow sits in her weeds, and the' mother mourns her manly son, and the sister-weeps for the brother who will never return, we [night read in tl em all the terrible ransom which this laud has paid for its national life. And espiecally could we go to that quiet, far off western town, and stand by the grave of that incorrup tible and sagacious statesman who now lies low in death, we might not only med itate. there profitably upon the uncertain ty of human greatness, but we might read v thers a part of the terrible price, exacted by destiny, which made him a martyr to our national unity. And now, my hearers, iq view of all this, should we not resolve resolutely to maintain that which has cost us so much. Should we not swear by the blood of all the heroes that have fallen in deadly strife; by the wasted forms of 'the .thousands who, in famishing captivity, have endured a more terrible fate, and by the sacred sorrow of a natioo, mourning as for a father slain, that we willorever maintain rr the great cause of our tional unity and t life, that we will be true and devoted pa triots, loving our fatherlandmore than over since its baptism of blood, and serv ing our country rather than party, or fac tion, or local interest. When William of Orange was slain, in the hour of his country's greatest disaster and danger, the gloom produced by the event was tragical. Never in human history before was a more poignant and universal sorrow for any individual. The despair was, for a brief season,, absolute; but it was soon succeeded by more lofty sentiments. ' it seemed, after they had laid their. hero in the tomb as though -his 'spirit still hoV 7 * , .ered aboio ,the 'nation' he had: loved- so well, mad - ivas inspiring it with_ a pertioio of his own energy and wisdom, Even the possible extent of the disaster. We then might have had no Antietam and no Gettysburg; and the great. results which have recently culminated in the downfall of the Rebellion, if achieved at all, might have been delayed for years, and gained only at the price of exhausting and ruin ous expenditure of blood and treasure. Whilst therefore we may properly and profoundly humble ourselves before God, I confess that the severest of his judg ments are light compared with what our sins might justly deserve, yet at the same time we may lift up the voice of grateful acknowledgment and bless God that in judgment he has remembered mercy. Dreadful and monstrous and soul harrow ing as this assassin's deed is, and deeply as it has shrouded the land in the habili ments of woe, we•cannot see that it im perils in any way our Tuitional welfare. The hour for such danger is past. It was deferred until the Rebellion, tottering to, its fall, was too. weak to follow up the blow. And whilst we mourn the honor ed dead, and regret that his generous and magnanimous soul was not permitted to live to share in our triumphs, we may still iejoice that the cause he loved so well still lives. Another feeling which it is eminently proper for us to cherish to-day, is the feel ing of resolute determination to maintain the great idea of our nationality and unity, for the sake of which so many lives have been sacrificed, and to which Abraham Lincoln has fallen as a martyr. Never perhaps in the history of the world, has the idea of imt;wm/ity in its broadest, most, comprehensive most Ethnic Sense, attained so intense, intelliizent, and so resolute expression, as in the minds of the American people And thin great civil war, now, -we Lope ro happily ended, has been a war fbr that idea. n intnse and tremendous protest in the shape of war, against whatever would disturb or imperil that idea in its realization. P has been a. war for unity, nationality and strength against' disintegration, anarchy and weakness. And in this view it was a war for the lire of the Republic. For the sake of this all the tremendous sac rifiees of the past four years have been cheerfully wade, all its vastburdens borne, and the 7 blood of the nation poured out like water. No more sublime spectacle could well be afforded to the muse of History, than that of the herculean efforts. put forth by this people, to vindi cate an idea. ouhl the mouldering bones be gathered Lt .„... \ •. , i..t.1( , ,, , 0 0 ~ • . . .L . * on the very day of the murder, the Estates Holland, then sitting at Delft . , passed a resolution " to maintain the good cause, with God's help to the uttermost, without sparing gold or blood," and this decree was communicated to all their comman ders by land and sea, and they and all civil functionaries and people were be sought to " bear themselves manfully and valiantly, without faltering in the least, on account of the great misfortune which had occurred; or allowing themselves to be'heduced by any ono from the union of the States." 6A noble example for us, my fellow-citizens, to imitatote in the less severe and trying crisis in which this great afflication ha's come upon us. it remaihsito add but a few words in honor of the !memory of the man whose violent death we mourn to-day. I do not propose to speak of Abraham Lincoln as a party man. He is not to be thought of now as a member of this party .or that, but as a name dear to every true Ameri can heart. That be possessed large ea-• pacity, great honesty and singleness of pur-, pose, a far seeing and sagacious states manship, and great benevolence and It ind ness of nature, is now generally, perhaps universally, conceded. Beneath his gro tesque exterior lay the jewel of high and true manhood, and under his appar ent levity and drollery, lay concealed a practical wisdom which never failed him. Even his unsparing satirists' in England, are now forced to confevs that he was a "true-born King of men." Butnotruer indication need be sought'of his genuine and intrinsic worth, than the honors and obsequies paid to his remains by the American people, and the deep and heart- felt laniantati u n over him by the whole nation. As when the rebel cannon open ed on Fort Sumter, ell party lines in the North were dropped, and the whole people rose up as one man to vindicate our imperiled up tionality, so when the pistol of the assassin-had done its deadly work, all party lines disappeared, and the whole people, as one man, bowed the head in sorrow and mourning for Abra ham Lincoln ! And what obsequies, what funeral pageants, what draping of the land in the habiliments of grief; was there ever such a progress o! a human body as that of his from the Capital of the Nation round though the great cities of the con tinent, to its last resting place in the dis tant west. Did ever such an army of mourners folloW a funeral . train ! The instincts of mankind are seldom mistak en, and we may safely assume that the subject of all these honors war no com- mon man And what a monstrous perversion'of a sentiment or motto, which in a certain circle may have a noble dignity and mean ing, was that with which the dastardly assassin blazoned his own infamy before the world, " air seniper tyrannis." Thus be it ever with tyrants ! What ! Abraham Lincoln a tyrlnt! A man in whose na ture dwelt not one single element which makes a tyrant. A man whose name was a synonym for honesty, and purity, and magnanimity, and generosity, and forgiving sympathy even for the most persistent and malignant of rebels—this man a tyrant? No! thou foul-mouthed diisereant—the unanimous voice of civil ized men hurls back with scorn the base slander. Had some monster in human shape, some Nero, some Caligula, some Borgia, some Philip or Alva, fallen that night to avenge the outraged liberties of men there might have been some sense and meaning in the sentiment, but not when the victim was one who all men recognized as a generous and unselfish patrot. In conclusion, my hearers, there is but one other topic which shall detain us a moment. There are many thoughts still crowd upon the mind on an occasion like this, but we will add but one. It does not become us to cherish feelings of re sentment, or alienation, or hatred, toward those who have been in arms against us, and whose military power is now crush ed, and who aro beginning to show some disposition to return to the observance of law and order. 'Deeply as they have wronged us, and deeply as they have of fended against the cause of government and order, they are our brethren and fel low citizens still, of the same blood, line age and language, and we trust that in the future their children and ours are to stand shoulder to shoulder in support of the gorgeous ensign of the Republic. Now that "wild war's deadly blast is blown," and the piping times of peace are, we hope, again returning it becomes us to assuage the animosities which war engenders, and prepare the way for the amicable relations which can alone form a true basis of peace. I pronounce no opinion as to the punishment which should be meted out to great offenders. What ever duties a true andjndispensibli3 re gard to the claims Of justice and law de mand, ought to be fearlessly discharged. Tho safety of the people is the , highest law. But I would fain hope these inex oriable demands may be few and brief. All leading offenders will find theii own punishment.'

The present Atlantic cable is just twenty three hundred nautical miles, or in rough numbers about twenty-six hundred miles long. The central conductor is composed of seven tine copper wires, twisted into one complete strand, which is insulated with Chatterton's patent compound. Outside this come four distinct layers of gutta percha, each also insulated with the same material that encloses the conductor. Outside the gutta percha again are wound eleven stout iron wires, each of which, before being twisted on, is itself carefully wound round with strands of hemp, soaked with tar. Thus, then, there are no less than twenty five thousand miles of copper wire in the conductor, about thirty-five thousand miles of iron wire in the outside covering, and upwards of four hundred thousand miles of strands of hemp—more than enough to go twenty-four times round the world. The cable has been made on an average, at the rate of seventy miles per day complete, and in some days its outside covering of ' hemp and iron has been overlaid at the rate of one hundred and seventy-three miles a day, though not a fathom or a foot has been manufactured without every part being kept under constant test for "conductivity" and Lsulation, and to this hour it is as regular t sted as it was a year ago, when the first roil was twisted. In strength the cable is equa to bearing a strain of seven and three guar er tons, while its specific gravity is so low hat it can with safety be depended on to, pport eleven miles of its length in wa ter. It has been made mile by mile, joined up in long lengths of seven and eight hun dred miles, and shipped oh board the Great Eastern into three enormous tanks. The first will hold a coil of six hundred and thirty miles of cable, the second one of eight hundred and forty, and the third one of eight hundred and thirty. Five hun dred miles have still, to be stowed away on board, and it will take a fortnight to com plete this work, though the last mile of the coil will come through the machines of the telegraph works, at three o'clock on Monday next. All three tanks are kept filled with water, and when each is stored with cable as well, the ends of the wire will be joined up, and a constant system ofsignals kept through every part from the moment the expedition starts till the cable is laid. The mere cable, however, is but an item in the mass of heavy weights the Great Eastern will have to carry on this occasion. Her draught of water will be rather over than under thirty feet, and all told, her weights, when starting from 'Valentin, will come near the stupen dous mass of eighteen thousand tons. They are all, however, stowed high, and so, ac; cording to present arrangements, it is be lieved that the Great Eastern will start in the very early part of July, and certainly, if possible not later than the 10th. With her will also sail her Majesty's ship Terrible, and another paddle wheel steam frigate of great power not yet chosen, but which, like the Terrible, will give towing aid to the Great Eastern in case of mishaps to her ma chinery, either screw or paddle. Every care has been taken to get these engines ii_to the highest state of good working order ; but it cannot be denied that the very possibiliv of .their breaking down is looked upon with something like anxiety. They will certainly hot be overtasked, as it is intended, if pos sible, not to lot the vessel go beyond a speed of six knots, a minimum of velocity which it will be difficult to keep to if steerage way is Wanted quickly, and which will we . think be found absolutely impossible to retiimin.a Seaway.. On this occasion, however, ; the middle of July is chosen as being thought even more favorable in point of weather than the middle 'of June, When the last Aga memnon cruise was commenced. Captain" Anderson, we believe, is in favor of starting towards the early part of July, and his long experience in command .of the China, has very properly, induced the directors to give every weight'to his opinion. In addition to Captain Anderson; tho officers con nected With the'ship; with the exception of the chief engineer, have been chosen from the Cunard service. With ordinarily fair Weather,, and steaming at the rate, of "six Idiots, it is expected that the voyage from Valentin to the Bay of Heart's Content is NowfouttAntd will occupy from twelve to endeavor to prepare the way to dwell to gether in unity. I cannot do better than close with that magnificent peroration of America's great est orator, now clothed with a double sig nificance. When my eyes shall be turn ed to behold for the last time, the sun on the heaven, may I not see him shining on the broken and dishonored fragments of a once glorious Union—on States dissever ed, discordant, belligerents—on a land rent with civil feuds, or drenched it may be in fraternal . blood I Let their last fee ble and lingering glance rather behold the gorgeous ensign of the Republic, now known and honored throughout the earth) still full high advanced, its arms and tro phies streaming in all their original lustre, not a stripe erased or polluted, not a sin gle star obscured, bearing for its motto everywhere, spread all over in characters of liVing light, blazing on all its ample folds as they float over the sea and over the land, and in every wind under the whole heavens, that sentiment dear to every American heart—Liberty and Luton, now and forever, one and insepa rable.

They are about twenty feet long, and five or six inches in diame ter. Sometimes their bodies will be found distended to the size of a large bucket, which leads to the belief that the reptile sucks or bolts its food whole. There is no particular in which the water snake differs from the common land snake, ex cept 'that the tail is furnished with flukes. Another peculiarity 6f this animal is the power which it has of contracting the substance of the body within the skin. Instances were mentioned to us by our friend, the waleman, in which boats had wade fast to these snakes, and after haul ing thorn over the gunwale, the fleshy portion of the body would be contracted and entirely withdrawn from the boat, leaving nothing to hold on to but the skin.
