CAPTURE OF \ SEA MONSTER NEAR
ATLANTIC CITY.-Quite a sensation was
produced at Alantic City, y. j., on Sat
ur,lay, August lst, by the arrival at the
landing in the Inlet of the fishing slOop
Amanda B., having on board n YeTitable
sea monster, the like of which has never
before been seen in these waters. The
oldest fishermen and watermen manifest
surprise at the appearance of this mon.
ster of the deep, and are at loss TO de-
termine what 1t is. Il is undoubtedly
of the turtle species, with q head similar
70 that of q COW, with white spots on
the top The body Is black in color and
from the nose to the tip Of the tail six
feet long. II has four fiukes or flippers,
and is five feet seven inches in breadth.
The diameter of the body is two feet
and q half. 1t is estimated that the
weight of the creature is about seven
hundred pounds. The monster had
/ been seen in the neighborhOOd for two
or three weeks past, and numerous fish
ermen had at different times pursued 1t
with darts and spears, endeavoring to
capture it, On Friday last, about half
past five o'clock, Capt. Dan Champion
and the crew of the boat above named,
cast n large seine OFF Brigantine Shoals,
about five miles out at sea, and were
successful I'm getting the animal en-
twined in the meshes of the net. A rope
and tackle was slipped under its body,
and it was raised into the slOop and de-
posted in the hold, where it was Kept
until Saturday afternoon, when the rope
and tackle were again called into requi-
sition and the monster transferred 10 "A
large batteau, and finally placed in a
tub, which had to be built for the pur-
pose, near the New Inlet House, where
it was visited during the day by humid
reds of persons, who expressed the
greatest surprise at seeing what may
truly be termed wonder, and which
will no doubt engage the attention OF
biologists and shOwmeu.

How King Theodore of Abysstnia Die

How King Theodore Of Abysstn1a Died.
A few unarmed Abyssinians, attracted by
the clamor of music and shouting, mustered
courage enough to approach the standard
which waived so gaily in the mountain
gale; and on beholding one OF their country
men on the ground, they bent over the
BODY, but quickly recoiled with fearful dis.
may on their faces, exclaiming, 'Todros!
Todros!"
The words attracted the attention of
every one, and together they strobe toward
the body, jOstling each other in the en-
deavor to obtain glimpse Of him the ma
tives styled ''Todros, Negus, Negashi OF
Utopia"
native seemingly half famished, clad in
coarse upper garments, dingy with wear and
ragged with tear, covering undergarments
Of clean linen.
The face of deep brown was the most re-
markable one in Abyssinia; it bore the ap-
many anxious hours His eyes, now over
spread with deathly film, gave evidence
yet of the piercing power for which they
were celebrated. The mouth was well de.
fined and thin Tipped. The lower lip was
we'll adapted to express scOrn, and trace
of it was still visible. As he gasped his
last, two rows of whitish teeth were dis
closed. Over his mouth two strong lines
arched to high aquiline nose. The nos
trils expanded widely as he struggled to
retain the breath which was rapidly
leaving him. The face was broad,
high cheek boned, with high, prom
inent forehead and overhanging eyebrows.
The hair was divided into three large
plaits extending from the forehead to the
back of the neck, which latter appeared to
be a very tower Of strength. The body
measured five feet eight inches, and was
very muscular and brOad-chested. There
was character about the features de.
noting great firmness or obstinacy, mingled
with ferocity; but perhaps the latter idea
was suggested upon remembering the many
cruelties ascribed to him. And thus was it
that we saw the remains Of him whom men
called Theodorus, Emperor of Abyssinia,
the descendant of Menilek, son of Solomon,
king of kings, lord of earth. conquerer OF
Ethiopia, regeneration of Africa, and saviour
of Jerusalem, now dying-dead by his own
hand!
The Irish soldiers took hold Of his leg
and roughly dragged HIM to hammock.
where, after two or three gasps, he breathed
his last.-Staniey's Coomassie at Magdola.
