A Monster of the Deep.

In some parts of the ocean there are enormous
sea animals, called Sepia, which are kind of pol
yp They have very long legs and are said some
times to seize upon the coral divers along the cost
of Italy. Mr.. Beal tells the following adventure
with creature of the sort
'' While upon the Bouin Islands, searching for
shells on the rocks which had been left by the re-
ceding tide, was much astonished at seeing at
my feet a most extraordinary looking animal,
crawling toward the retreating surf had never
seen one like it before. 1t was creeping on its
eight legs, which, from their soft and flexible ma
ture, bent considerably under the weight of It's
body, that it lifted by the efforts of its ten
tacles only a small distance from the rocks.
1t appeared much alarmed on seeing me, and
made every effort to escape, while | was not much
IN the humor to endeavor to capture so ugly GUS
toner. whose appearance excited feeling of dis
gust; not unmixed with fear. / however, endeav-
ored to prevent It's escape, by pressing on one OF
its legs with my foot but although | used con-
siderable force for that purpose, its strength was
so great that 1T several times quickly liberated its
member, IN spite of all the efforts | could employ,
IN this way, on wet, slippery rocks | now laid
hold OF one OF the tentacles with my hand and held
1t firmly, so that the limb appeared as if it would be
torn asunder by our united strength. gave it a
powerful jerk wishing to disengage it from the rocks
to which it clung so forcibly by its suckers, which
1t efectually ressted but the moment after the ap-
parently enraged animal lifted his head, with its
large eyes projecting from the middle of its BODY,
and letting go Its hold ofthe rocks suddenly spranc
upon my arm, which l had previously barred to NV

holes in the rocks to discover shells. and clung.

to get its beak, which | could now see between
the roots Of its arms, in position to bite.
A sensation of horror pervaded my whole frame,
when found this monstrous animal, for it was a.
bout four feet long, fixed SO firmly to my arm. Its
cold Shiny grasp extremely sickening, and |
immediately called aloud to the Captain, who was
also searching for shells at some distance to come
and release me from my disgusting assailant He
quickly arrived, and taking me down to the boat,

beak away from my hand, quickly released me by
destroying my tormentor with the boat knife, when

BlitZ and the Darkies.

Blltz The very name is synonymous with
wltchcratt and roguery. What twang of Jug
glery there is III It's very pronunciation presto,
change-magica words in themselves are no more
identified with miraculous deeds, than that of Blitz
lie IS the prince of conurors; and adds to his Won
derful dexerity at legerdemain, that most remark
able power of the human voice known as ventrilo-
qusm. Blitz is an arrant joker, and loves to car
ry out practical piece of fun For some weeks
past he has been frightening the market men in
Philadelphia, by causing their dead poultry and
dressed pigs to talk all sorts of stuff, and to make
formal complaint at the untimely end to which
they had been brought. One butcher, after throw
ing half dozen turkeys into the street. because
they would gobble, though they were as dead as
door nail, was saluted with tremendous grunt
from young pig that he was offering for sale, all
cleaned and dressed for the table Frightened
half out OF his WITS the market man fairly 'cut
stick nor would he come back again until piggy
had been removed
But the naughtiest thing that Bltz ever did was
to disturbe negro meeting, some years ago, in
Belknay street, Boston. The story is not general
ly known, as it would perhaps have led to some
personal trouble to him, had it been represented to
the authorities
All Boston knows, or has heard of the negro
preacher, Father Snowden, who held forth to his
'cullered bredderen in Belknap street, for so many
years. 1t was quiet summers afternoon, when
the house was pretty well flled-there being re-
vival of religion going on among the 'gemmen OBJ
color-when Blitz, with some other white persons
(albeit he is himself as dark as muatto, and has
'curly hair to boot) entered the house. 1t was
pretty warm weather, and consequently the efiiu-
via not little offensive to senses polite but
this went on nicely enough, until the minister had
got warmed in his subject, and was using words al
most too long for common sized dictionary, when
Blltz thought it was time to do something.
'And the Lord said unto Moses
Bow-wow-wow = came apparently from behind
the speaker.

minister, after looking under his feet and behind
himself, seemed to come to the conclusion that the
noise had proceeded from the street, and so he
commenced again:
And the Lord said unto Moses
Stand from under : cried voice, apparently at
the top of the house.
Ihe startled congregation rolled up the bio
whites of their eyes to the ceiling in amazement
while the minister drew suddenly to one side, ex
pected something was coming down. But after a
moments pause all seemed quite, and so Mr.
Snowden resumed:
'And the Lord said unto Moses

amazement.
Some smiled and said, Sam Johnsing ought tc

minister frowned upon him in way that would
have thawed SNOWFALL outright, after which Mr.
Snowden attempted once more to resume his re.
marks.
'And the Lord said unto Moses
Well, what did he say, came, seemingly, from
the big lips of attentive listener in the side aisle
The minister was astounded. He looked at the
man as though his boldness had electrified him
while some ofthe congregation began to think that
under the circumstance, the inquiry was q very
natural and appropriate one. As to the minister
himself, he was a little Vexed now, and repeated
with emphasis:
'And the Lord said unto Noses
Fire, fire! = roared voice, which seemed tC
come from the entrance of the house, with startling
earnestness.
This was too much to bear tamely. Even the
minister rushed to the door, and the affrghted wo
men screamed like mad, as they huddled and pushed
each other out of the pews and down the aisles-
Bonnets suffered some on the occasion, and wher
all had got fairly out, they looked up to the top o
the meeting house, patiently awaiting to see the
flames burst through the slated roof!
And there Blitz left them standing, their eye:
rolled heavenward, and parson Snowden in brown

and the other, noticing his embarrassment came tc
his aid by saying with sudden contortion of coun
tenance at the same time pressing his hand to his
cheek,
Il want an aching tooth extracted
4 can extract it as we'll as any dentist in the
township said Miss K rising, and before the suf
ferer could contrive any plausible means for es
Gaping with his teeth, the instruments for extract
ing were produced
His fellow, in turn, wishing to assist him out Of
his dilemma, said, rather confidently,
But wish to be bled, miss, and presume you
are not surgeon
assure you | am perfectly competent to serve
you in that capacity replied the young lady, with
out the least hesitation, and shall be happy to ap-
tleman,' and she pretended to examine whether
the instruments were in good order
The Queens minions now made virtue of ne
cessity, and threw off the attempted disguise, which
had availed them so little, and appeared in their
true characters
'We are here, madam said the first officer, ad-
dressing Mrs. K. in voice of stern authority I'VE
are here in her Majestys name, to arrest your hus-
band on a charge of High Treason. That he is
now in this house, we have no doubt, and it will
be wisdom in you to give him up to justice at once,
otherwise, search will be instituted Immediately
he cannot escape u.s.
He has already escaped you,' thought the lady,
but she only replied by cody giving her word of
honor that he was not in the house; yet if you de-
sire it,, she added, 4 am ready to lead you through
every apartment
The Indifference with which the announcement
of the object of their visit had been received con-
vinced Victorias functonaries that this object had
been previously understood, yet they considered it
hardly possible that their intended victim could
have made his escape, and began search, with
perfect confidence in its success. With each min
utes delay, the ladies had gained assurance, and
now certain that husband and father was beyond
the reach of his enemies, they cared little what
course the latter might choose.
A portion of the gard which had been placed a.
bout the house for the purpose of thwartng any at
tempt at escape on the part of the rebel, was or
dered to explore the outbuildings, while the two
in command themselves searched the DWELLING
The discovery of the Doctors carriage and horse,
still painting with fast driving, under shed, which,
removed from the other out-houses, was, as Miss
K. had anticipated when she placed them there,
the last to be searched, inspired the men with
fresh ardor; but they were finally obliged to con-
fess their journey bootess, and returned as empty
as they came.
Meanwhile, the old rebel, as he was called by
the defenders of the crown, was far on his way to
the States, where he soon after joined by his
family. A reward was offered for him, dead or a.
live, but in vain. He is still free to deal out the
contents of his saddlebags for the relief of suffer-
ing humanity.-American Union.

=" All Thy Works Praise Thee"
BY MARY HoWITT.

BY MARY HowITT.
The moonbeams on the billowy deep,
The blue waves ripping on the strand,
The ocean in its peaceful sleep,
The shell that murmurs on the sand,
The cloud that dims the bending sky,
The bow that on its bosom glows,
The sun that lights the vault on high,
The stars at midnight's calm repose:
These praise the power that arched the sky
And robed the earth in beauty dye.
The melody of Natures choir,
The deep toned anthems of the sea,
The wind that tunes viewles Tyre,
The zephyr on it pinions free,
The thunder with its thrilling notes,
The peal upon the mountain air,
The lay that through the foliage floats,
Or sinks in dying cadence there;
These all to Thee their voices raise,
a feryent voice Of gushing praise
The day-star, herald Of the dawn,
As the dark shadows fit away,
The tint upon the cheek of morn,
The day-drop cleaning on the spray
From wild birds in the wanderings,
From streamlets leaping to the sea,
From all earth's fair and loving things,
Doth living praise ascend to Thee;
These, with their silent tongues proclaim
The varied wonders of Thy name
Father, Thy hand hath formed the flower,
And flung it on the verdant lea,
Thou bad'st it ope at summers hour,
Its hues of beauty speak of Thee;
Thy works all praise Thee: shall not man
Alike attune the grateful hymn!
Shall he not join the lofty strain,
Echoed from heart of Seraphim
We tune to Thee our humble lays,
Thy mercy, goodness, love, we praise

A Neospaper published daily and ,ceehlg al Wash
mgton City.
AT no period since the formation of our Govern
ment has the service of an enlightened, impartial,
and independent press at the seat of Government
been more required than now. The near APP
proach of the Presidential election, the influence
which it must have on our future destiny, the
combinations formed to govern the public choice
and the issues which the political organizations
will present, should be fully discussed and un-
derstood In this discussion the sectional interest
Of the South should be fairly and ably repre-
sented
Designing men have labored successfully to
create the belief that all who do not approve the
measures called Compromise are disunionists
and we think it is greatly to be regretted that the
tone, temper, and substance Of the discussions in
the press and in Congress give countenance to
that belief. Now, we do not concur with Mr..
Foote or Mr.. Rhett; on the contrary, whilst we
know that there is q large and influential and in
creasing party in the North who desire to abolish
slavery in the South, we believe that the neces-
sary consequence Of the conflict for power be-
tween the organized parties in the North will be
to create public sentiment in that section more
favorable to the South, if the South will but be
true to themselves, and unite in support of those
who deserve their confidence and support.
The Telegraph will labor to unite and con-
solidate the South, as the only means of produ-
cling harmony and concert between the North and
the South. We have our preferences, but as yet
we have no choice among the Presidential candi-
dates We will support the nominee of the Bal
timore Convention, if we believe him worthy OF
our support. We are identified with and will
support the State Rights party of the South, and
this is the position that we will urge that party to
assume
The Telegraph"is is now published daily at five
dollars per annum, and we propose to issue a
weekly at t,oo dollars per annum, as soon as sub
scribers sufficient to justify its publication are
obtained We venture to ask the State Rights
Associations, and the Republican party through
out the country to aid in obtaining subscribers,
as it is our purpose to make the paper worthy of
their support

Intervention In European Affairs.

III european
In his farewell address, Washington thus
speaks on this subject:
Europe has a set of primary interests which
to US have none or very remote relation. Hence,
she must be engaged in frequent controversies,
the causes of which are essentially foreign to our
concerns. Hence, therefore, it must be unwise
in us to implicate ourselves by artificial ties in
the ordinary vicssitudes Of her politics, or the
ordinary combinations and collision Of her friend
ships or enemies.
"0ur detached and distant situation invites
and enables US to pursue n different course. If
we remain one people, under an efficient govern
ment, the period is not far off when we may defy
material injury from external annoyance when
we may take such an attitude as will cause the
neutrality we may at any time resolve upon to
be scrupulously respected; when belligerent ma
tions, under the impossbility Of making acqusi-
tions upon US, will not lightly hazard the giving
US provocation; when we may choose peace or
war, as our interest, guided by justice, shall
counsel.
"Why forego the advantage Of so peculiar a
situation? I? Why quit our own to stand on foreign
ground? Why, by Intervening our destiny with
that Of any part Of Europe, entangle our peace
and prosperity in the tolls Of European ambition,
rivalship, interest humor or caprice?
"lt is our true policy to steer clear of perma-
nant alliances with any portion of the foreign
world-as far, | mean, as we are now at liberty to
do it for let me not be understood as capable of
patronizng infidelity to existing engagements. l
hold the maxim no less applicable to public than
to private affairs, that honesty is always the best
policy. | repeat, therefore, let those engage
ments be observed in their genuine sense. But
in my opinion it is unnecessary and would be
unwise to extend them"

kegct, on the coast of Massachusetts, has been
alluded to. She was an emigrant ship, and an

and one Of the number died in consequence. They
were in miserable condition when rescued and
taken care Of by the Nantucket authorities. The
ship was abandoned, and is q total loss. The
captain had been sick for ten days previous to
