A Devil Fish.

The st. Johns correspondent of the
Toronto Globe gives the following particu-
lars regarding a gigantic cutie fish re-
Gently captured off the New FOundland
coast:
Il mentioned in my last letter that l
had been so fortunate as to obtain a per-
feet specimen of the devil-fsh. Since
then | have had it photographed, ard
have examined and measured it carefully
It evidently belongs to the gigantic
species of cutie fish, but is not full grown,
being, as is thought here, about two or
three years old. A very promising imp,
however, it is. Its body is eight feet in
length, and when in the water must have
been at least five feet in circumference.
The arms are ten in number, radiating
from the head, and in the middle Of the
central mass is the powerful beak, about
the size of an ordinary mans fist. The
ewes are on each side of the central mass
and four inches in diameter, very dark
and beautiful, and surrounded by white
circle. Two of the arms are twenty-fOur
feet in length, nearly three inches in
diameter. and armed near their broadened
extremites with rows of powerful suck
ing disks, having sharp denticulated edges.
The eight arms are each six feet in
length, and at the junction with the head
are nine inches in circumference, taper
ing to a fine point, and covered entirely
on the under surface with rows of power
full suckers, all denticulated. Connected
with the body, which is but huge sack
or stomach, are two tubes or tunnels, one
for eiecting the inky fluid, of which it
manufactures unlimited quantities, and
the other for drawing in and expelling
the water which it uses, as other fish for
breathing purposes. The water is adj
mitted by valves, and then, when the oxy-
gen is extracted, forcibly expelled
through this tube. When driven out
with great force, the reaction of the sur
rounding medium enables the creature to
dart backward with great rapidly. 1t
moves forward by the action of its tail
1t is certainly one of the most exTaordi-
nary monsters ever drawn from the great
deep. That specimens have been seen
about these shores with bodies forty,
sixty and even eighty feet in length, ad-
mits of no question. | am acquainted
with a person here whose veracity is un-
doubted, and who declares that he meas

Presence Of Mind.

The Boston AdUertiser saws that the in
mates OF the Winthrop House, in that
9th were startled the other morning by
the rushing of a woman in flames through
one of the main halls. With wonderful
presence of mind, she opened a closet
door and leaped into a set-tub of about
two feet in depth, turning on the water
from both hot and cold faucets, and curl
ing down into the miRgling smoke and
flame before anyone could reach her.
The servants fastened to quench the en-
bers which were catching the carpet in
all directions, while gentleman occupy
ing room on the same floor leaped for
the closet door, which she had closed.
On his opening it she fell forward in a
swoon. The flames were extinguished,
and she was taken to bed. where it was
found that her injuries will keep her an
invalid for many days. Her hands, waist,
body and lower limbs were badly crisped.
She was preparing to 60 out for a walk,
and in reaching for something on a
bureau, causeq her clothing to come in
contact with gas jet. Not noticing it at
the time, she sat down on a sofa. On
rising, after few moments, the flames
burst out, completely enveloping her.

Sad Consequence of Looking Through
Defective Window Glass.

French plate glass in windows is not
an indication of snobbishness. Every
house in the land should have its French
plate, and the present glass should be
buried far below the surface of the earth.
An incident which occurred Sunday after
noon illustrates the grevious defect of
American window glass a young lady
living on Rose Hill had seated herself at
the window which commanded a range
of the road to wait for a young man who
is all in all to her in this life. When he
came in sight she was looking through
one of those panes which are capable of
almost an Unlimited number of changes
She perceived her lover as he appeared
over the hill, and recognized him at once
Immediately he ceased to become her
John, and closed up to a waddling party
of about four hundred pounds burden.
Then he suddenly split in two lengthways
and each half bobbed up and down to-
ward her. She would have shrieked in
horror but a new transformation turned
the tide of her emotions The parts came
together ard shot up to a great altitude,
and Immediately sunk down again, and
what but moment before was her ad-
mired John was now an object Of many
revolving legs, like beetle drunken with
new wine. The poor girl was so affected
by this marvellous change that she burst
into an uncomfortable laughing fit, and
emerged from It a maniac. She was re-
moved to MiddletOwn this morning &C
companied by her distressed parents, and
all that medical art can do will be done
for her relief; but the case appears almost
hopeless. -DG7l5UrU NeaoS.

Wanted to BE Heard From.

IL anybody has ever used the thorough and
scientific course of treatment recommended
by the proprietor of DR.. Sage's Catarrh Rem
edy, for the cure of Catarrh, and has not been
perfectly cured, the proprietor, DIR. r. v.
Pierce, would like to hear from that person,
and by addressing him at the Worlds Dis
pensary, Buffalo, N. Y, such person, if there
be one, will hear of something to his or her
advantage, as the Doctor is in earnest when he
offers $500 reward for a case of Catanh which
he cannot cure and is perfectly able to pay it
if he fails in a single case, as any one may as
certain upon inquiry. The thorough course
of treatment referred to and recommended by
Dr. Pierce consists in the use of DIR. Sage's
Catarrh Remedy with DIR. Pierce's Nasal
Douche, which is the only means by which the
fluid can be carried high up and applied to all
parts OF the nasal passages, and the chambers
connected Herewith, in which ulcers exist,
and from which the discharge proceeds. In
addition to this thorough application of the
Remedy, which should always be used warm,
DR.. Pierces Golden Medical Discovery should
be taken earnestly as constitutional treatment,
without which few cases can be cured, as the
disease is always constitutional, and must be
treated accordingly. THIS treatment has no
unpleasant features about it, and has the adj
vantage of never driving the disease to the
lungs, as there is danger of doing by the
use of strong, irritating snuffs or poisonous

DOMESTIC.

A Committee of Safety appointed by the
unemployed workmen of New York, made a
demand on the Goth upon the City Govern
ment for work. They insisted that all con-
tracts be abrogated, and that the city let the
public works directly to the applicants.
The locomotive engineers and fremen on
the leased lines of the Panhandle Railway
west of Pittsburgh struck at noon on the Goth,
in resistance of reduction of 10 per cent. on
their salaries. The strike resulted in gen
eral stoppage of trains. One report stated
that all branches of the Panhandle and Penn
sylvania Central lines were affected simultane-
ously by this strike.
A committee of the Chicago workingmen
interviewed the Relief Society of the city on
the evening of the Goth. The conference
seems to have ended in an amicable manner,
on the assurance by the officers of the society
that the relief funds were all right and availa-
BILE on moments notice, and that the destl-
tute and suffering would be provided for; and
hat efforts would be made to give all possible
employment TO the laboring men of the city.

and trains thrown from the tracks. A train

of the Brother hood who had quit work on
account of the strike was to go to work at
once, and to use every influence in
