A BABY MERMAID.
WoudorftU Haul Made by a
Cnmclen Fisherman.
How it wnji Captnrod and What
It i ,
Philadelphia T
' Say , mister , huv yea got tlmt ore
in huro ? " inquired
seasnrphit ciuitiously
quired n Jersey farmer , ns ho poked
n frowsy head through the doorway of
Urookcr's liquor store , Second and
Fodornl streets , Uiumlcn , at noon yes
terday.
"Yes sir n-alk in "
, ; , replied
Urookor.
" ] ! o this it ( " asked tlio farmer , as
ho stood and pointed a sun-burned
liand lownrd n lively young Florida
alligator in n glass box.
"Xot exactly ; only ft second cousin
or BO , There's the tiling you eauioto
see hanginc up there on the wall. "
"Well , fcl bo swashed if that , don't
look just like Jenkins' now baby over
to the village. Taint n child , is it1 ?
"When told thai it was a inonnaid
fresh from the dophts of the Atlantic
the countryman's eyes stood out. on
his check bones , and he gazed around
at the crowd with a bewildered stare.
"A mermaid ! Vcll , well. I've '
hcern tell of such things ; an' my dar
ter what works over to the eolotu-l's
used to read out of picture books'bout
mecrmaids ncomon' their hair in the
ocean , but 1 never si-od one afore , "
and the old man's curiosity and won
derment knew no bounds.
WHAT 111 : WOMHUIKI ) AT.
The object in question , described by
many as n mermaid , from its roscm-
bianco to the human family , hung by
a string on the wall , and was being in
spected by a crowd of the curious. It
was about two foot and a half in
length , and so many points of resem
blance to a now-born child did it have
that many persons manifested little reluctance -
luctance in pronouncing it a genuine
baby mormaid. Its body , with the
exception of the foot and tail and t.ho
location of the arms , was in appear
ance the same as that of n child , and
might bo described as a revised ver
sion of a skinned monkey. Tho.head
ran to a peak at the top , and was seton
on n short neck and well-deflned
shoulders. The eyes were sunken ,
and wore covered , in lieu of eyelids ,
withgrisly scales. The nose was quite
prominent and ended in the mouth ,
the lips of which wcroof a hard , grisly
flesh , and fringed with eight teeth on
the inside four upper and four lower.
The tongue bore an almost perfect resemblance -
semblance to the human tongue , and
back of it could bo aeon two email ton
sils. The breast and abdomen wcro
remarkably similar to these of man ,
the ribs being well formed , but aoout
forty in number. The imns extended
to the hips , and terminated in five fin-
gel's , with claw-like nails , the joints
being at the point of connection with
the bodj. The logs wore long , term
inating in tins , and bore resemblance
to these of a baby. At the end of the
backbone a well-defined tail , five
inches in length , protruded , ending
vertically in two small fins. Slr.uiijo
to say there was not the sign of a scale ,
a Heft , fleshy ikin covering the entire
body , which was destitute of liair. The
weight of the creature was about nix
pounds.
_ HOW IT WAS CAUC.UT.
"I was fishing for iloundcrs or
weakiish about seven miles ofTErigun-
tine beach in company with n yacht
ing party , " said James Garrison Jr. ,
of Caindon to a reporter , "and wJicn
I got tired of the sport I changed the
bait and threw the line in another
direction. Pretty soon I felt a strong
jerk and I thought I had a good-si/.cd
lish. I pulled in the line rapidly ,
thinking I had on a flounder , but you
could have floored mo with a feather
when I hauled that tiling on deck.
The captain yelled out : 'Shiver my
top-gallants , Garrison , but you've
cauuht a mermaid. ' I sat down and
looked at the thing Hopping around ,
and almost expected tt to walk up
and speak to me. I took the hook
out of its mouth and put it in a pail
of water , but it lived only two hours.
Why , I felt as though I were killing a
human being when I pulled the barb
out of its flesh. It looked so much
like a dying child that the captain ,
who is a trifle suporstious , wanted to
talk to it , and felt so sorry that ho
almost blubbered like a girl. I brought
it up to Cainden , intending to pre
serve it in alcohol , butBrookor wanted
it , and I guess he'll preserve it. "
The creature was brought to this
city yesterday afternoon for preserva
tion. 11 _ is the intention of the own
ers to plauo it on exhibition in sumo
museum.
Dr. 0. 13. Gross , of Camdcn , says
that the animal is the young male of
the sharp-nosed ray. This species , ho
declares , is very common on these
coasts , though the young are rarely
seen. The pectoral fins , which are
largo and fleshy , nro tied on the back
in suck a peculiar way ns to give color
to the inonnaid legend.

LEMON AND ORANGE MARKET
High Price * Paid for Xomcm Late
ly-Cnu o of the Advance'
How York Tribune.
There is a great Hcarcity of lemons
in the market at present ; tlio price has
been steadily advancing for some
weeks , until now it is from $10 to
811 fiO n box. Gnu of thu loading
auctioneers , who deals in lemons and
orange * , said Saturday : "Tlio lemon
market is the moat tickle in the
world. Upon the most careful esti
mate of the trade of previous years ,
ono can make no calculation for
suci'odintf year. I have benn
in the business for twenty-five
years , yet I cannot do it. Ono reason
for this is that the trade does not de
pend upon sailing vessels , as of old ,
when ono know just how many lemons
would bo shipped , and ono could make
arrangements to hold them for a
month. The cable has done away
with all that ; lemons cannot bo hold ,
there is a continual shipping , and no
end to it. Consequently they have to
110 disposed of immediately , and by
auction. Every box of lemons , and of
oranges , too , that comes hero is sold
at auction. This makes the market
very fickle and liable to suddnn fluc
tuations.
" I ho heaviest bulk of lemons is re
ceived between December 1 and May
L. During that time this year the
rates wcnTvcry low , pi ices being from
? 1.50 to § 2 a box. All dealers lost
money and nil were discouraged. The
extreme hot weather in the west , the
.inusual hot weather here , and the
'oeling that there wax no USD storing
onions for an advance , owing to thu
conditions I first mentioned , led to
, he present state of affairs. Lemons
went up to $ f , then to 88 and § 10. 1
think no ono could give the precise
cason for this first jump in prices.
Then everybody said : 'Thoyro all
crazy and will all got stuck , ' but no
onu wan 'stuck. ' " The price went
straight ahead , until now it in $11.CO
> cr box for first-class lemons. The
vest is taking a great many , und thu
Sicily crop is over.
"The next crop will bo the Malaga ,
which is duo this week. So far as we
can toll , the market ia in good condi-
ion for tlio crop. But the present
> riees will not hold , as the Malaga
onion is inferior to the Sicily , being
mid and green and of thicker skin ;
t will tide us over , however , until
thu new Sicily lemon comes in in De
cember. The Malaga will probably
sell at § 5 a i ox. "
"What are the prospects for the
low Sicily crop ? "
"Thu quality is good and promises
well. When the now crop arrives thu
uarkct will bo 'relieved ' , but it is ini-
)03Eiblo to say anything , of its eflect
> n prices. " i
"Havo dealers madu largo profits in

"Immense profits have boon made
within the last fifty days , but not by
American dealers. Italian exporters
on the other side have madu tlio
money. The business , in fact , is
changing very much , and going into

' 'Another reason for the present
scarcity is that people forget how
rapidly the country is growing and
; hey don't give sufficiently largo
orders. Where U0,000 boxe.s lasted a

only a week or less. I don't expect ,
such a state of things as this in ten

You Leo , a Chinese laundrymiin iu
Ludlow street , had an engraving of the

by Yeo Leo himself :
