His nowers of imagination are of a bigh order, and recently he has no intermingled truth and fiction in some of hie stories tha' it is hard to lell where th one begins and the other ends. But a formidable rival has at last arisen in ithe person of Tillis (Armenian) Messenger, which, in a version of a Russian translation of his "Roughing It," in forms its readers that Mr. Twain is a tuwlnwpr. and that after editing the Gal' mi Masazino he wrote up the steamboat intraiii nf American inland navigation fnr the Atlantic Quarterly, published in Boston and New York. It then concludes as follows: "Mr. Twain entered (he Federal Con ureas as a KeDrcB?ntative from one of the Western States, after he had loat most of hi? property by investing in steamboats nd mining slocks. One of his finest afaamers blew uu through the careless nes of a drunken engineer, while the mines, like most Western speculations, failed, principally for the want of drainage and proper machinery to extract the cmlrl." Will iwr. i.wain now write u jvhh to the Hartford Times and tell ua what he knows about the editor of the Tiflis Messenger ? Sea Serpent In Long Inland Sound, yew York World. A fiBherman of Cob Cob, Connecticut, familiarly known as Lon Mcrritt, with a companion, on Saturday night last went ,$own Mianus river to catch eels, using a strong light to attract the gab. On rounding a point of land they saw in their front what they at once supposed to tie a floating spar, about sixty leet long, and threw a harpoon at it, when there was a great commotion in the water, and the boat came near being upset by the jerks at the line, so that for their own eafety the fishermen were compelled to cut the rope. They feel convinced that it was a veritable sea serpent. War History. Catholic Columbian.! -rhe Davton Journal corrects a "cun- .'stake" of the Catholic Columbian "General" Crook was in Virginia at the time of the tattle of Stone river." Sure enough. And the Columbian did not say bo wan not. Tt imolv said that he was not, at that time, of rank to be a member of the Council of War on that memorable night. The Journal made the mistake. About seven o'clock Thursday evening the barn on the farm of Merman Van Doyeen, a short distance southeaiit of Na varre. Stark countr. was destroyed by 6re, together with iu contents, consisting of quantities of hay, grain, etc, When first discovered, the flames were coming from a wheat stack close to the barn, to which it communicated and destroyed the building.

Ticket Mew, Turk Democratic Slale convention.Albany, Oct, 4. The Democratic State Convention reassembled this morning and admitted the entire Tammany delegation as the chosen representatives of New York. The committees were appointed and a recess taken. After recess, Clarkson N. Potter was chosen permanent President and the following resolutions were adopted : The people baring in the last Presidential contest elected by an overwhelming popular and clear electoral majority, the Democratic candidates for President and Vice President, and the will of the Nation thus constitutionally declared having been wickedly and boldly nullified by means of the grossest usurpations and fraud of Returning Boards, protected and adopted, if not instigated, by the parly in possession of the Government and rendered practicable by threatening array of military force, Resolved, that at this, the first convention of the Democrats of this Stato held since the consummation of this great crime, it ia not only just and fit, but it is the plain duty in the interest of constitutional Governmen t, and in vindication and preservation of the sacred right of the majority to choose their rulers, to denounce with the warmest indignation, this stupendous wrong, and we do hereby denounce, condemn and hold it up to universal execration. Resolved, That this duty of setting the mark of infamy on this transaction and preventing any quick forgetfulness or easy condonation of it from raising tempting "precedent for future outrages, rests especially and peculiarly upon the Democratic party of this State, oue of whoso most illustrious leaders was President, actually chosen by the Nation. Resolved, That the late House of Representatives desurve the thanks of all patriots and lovers or liberty tor their juat refuaa', in the ixercise 01 tue most ancient anu valuable privilege belonging to representatives of the people in all constitutional Govern ments, to appropriate money tor tne support of soldiers to be used in illegal and despotic oppression of citizens in any portion of the Kcpublic. Resolved. That the present National Au- minislralion, by its withdrawal of tbe troops from the south, ana its cessation irom mis chievous, unconstitutional and oppressive interference with the internal attaii 8 ot tne States, has, iu that respect, reverEed the vi cious precedents ot the ttepuolioan party nnu followed the course marked out by the Federal ConBtitulion.and to which the Of mocrats stand pledged, and it is therefore entitled in that particular to the approval of all good citizens. The Democratic party ct new lorn reaffirm the lollowing principles set forth in their platform adopted in 1874, now thrice endorsed by large majorities of the voters ot this State: Gold and silver the only legal lender; no currency inconvtr i-ble with coin; steady steps toward specie paymentc; no steps backward; the honest payment of the public debt in coin; the sacred prcseivation of the public faith; revenue reform; a tariff tor revenue only; no Government partnership with protected monopolies; heme rule to limit and localize the most zealously the few powera intrusted to the public servants, municipal, slate ana Federal: no centralization; equal and exact justice to all men; no partial legislation; no partial laxawuu; uniciai ttauimiuunni cu- tnrcp.n uv ueuer civu uuu muuiuai icuicuirn. no nrivute use of public funds by public officers: corporations chartered by the State . 1 -..!...

Resolved. That we are opposed to the irantinir of subsidies by the Government to eorporotions or individuals for tho construc tion nl rnuroaus or ower luitrmu unuiuvi;- ments, as unnecessary, beyond the scopo of Federal power and inevitably producing corruption.Resolved, That we congratulate the whole people of thia State, that notwithstanding the suffering to which the laboring classes have been lor ycara nunjectcu, in spite oi their failure to obtain remunerative employment, ajd bitter privations which have been imposed upon them thereby, they have endured these calamities for the most part with patience, without disorder or violation of public peace and wolfire; that it ia through the beneficent operation of equal and just laws, favoritig no one class at tho expense of another; a stern refusal on the part of legislative bodies to yield to the schemes of grasping monopolies and the decrease of the public expenditures and taxation to the lowest practicable point, that the laboring classes of tho country, with whom the Democratic party has always strongly and intelligently sympathized, are mainly to find etlectual and permanent relief. Resolved, That we favov a uniform and equitabe excise iow, having regard for and the protection of the rights of all people, accompanied by stringent provisions puni hing its violation. Resolved. That we demand a more com- nlele nrotection for the savings of the indus trial elapses by stricter supervision and con trol ot Bavinas banks, insurance companies, and otherlinstitutions in which the people s money may bs invested, and the enactment of laws providing sure and certain punish ment of all official neglect, extravagance or fraud by which the pt'ople'fearuings may be endangered or lost.

San Fbancisco, Oct, 4. It is ascertained that the recent connection made by the Southern Pacific railroad by a bridge over the Colorado river, was a direct op position to orders from the United States Government. It appears that August 22, Adjutant General T'ownsend granted the company permission to nuuu tne roau across tne uovernment reservation at Fort Yuma, subject to grant by Congrecs of the right of way. The company proceeded in the work of building the bridge on this permission and it was nearly completed when the Secretary of War, September 3, countermanded the permission until both the Southern and Texas Pacific companies could be fully heard, or Con gress Bhould determine tue controversy. The southern xuciuc authorities tnen asked of tbe Department Commander per mission to continue tbe work so lar as was necessary to preservo tbe bridge. This was granted. Shortly after midnight on the morning of September 30, the em ployes of the company began laying track to make connection acroBS the bridge. Major Dunn, commanding at Fort Yuma, on learning the fact, ut once or dered the work stopped. Tbe whole force under his command consisted or a Ser geant and one enlisted man. The lalter was stationed on me unuge, uui in a lew moments the railroad men resumed work, and track laying continued until morning, when connection with Arizona was completed. Major Dunn ordered Super intendent of Construction Green to consider himself a prisoner, but having no force to carry out his instructions, re turned to the fort. Soon ufier the regular train from San Francisco crossed the bridge. The railroed people claim this aclion on their part is in conformity with the permission granted to do such work as may be neceuary to preserve propriety, as the connection was necessary tn enable them to run a train over the bridge, carrying stones for. riprapping the piers, and that in building the road across tbe res ervation, the interests of the uovernment and the public have been consulted at every elep. They also claim that Vice President ilrown, of the Texan pacific made an ex parte statement to the War Department, which caut-ed tha withdrawal of its permission to build. General McDowell saya be believes the matter will be amicably arranged. It iii e !Uooitnfr.

His appearance here excited no enthusiasm whatever, and there were few of cither party who wcro curious enough to give him a passing glance. By some mismanagement of those who had him in charge, the old Democratic resort. the Rowley House, waB left out in the cold, he having put up at a more fashion able resort, the Curtis House, where a straggling few of the unterrified presented themselves to hl.n, the moat al ttiem ne-ing in the grocery business, calling to in (itiiretbe price of cheese.
