A Florida Devil Fish that Almost Baf.
fed Fifteen Men,

A monster devil fish was caught under
the New York steamship wharf on Mon
day afternoon. He in some way got
under and was unable 20 find his way
out from among the piling. Some men
at work upon the wharf heard the splash
ing which he made and fired several shots
at him, but rs they seemed to have no
effect, a harpoon was obtained and his
capture effected, fifteen men being re-
qrired to tow him ashore. The blood
which escaped from him colored the
water for about ten feet on either side.
He was sixteen feet i'll width and fifteen
in length. His fins were about four feet
long, and his tail about the same length
aud not much larger than person S
finger. His mouth opened to the width
of two feet and was eighteen inches in
/ length, and projecting from each side of
/ it was a feeler about one foot wide and
two feet long, which he rolled up and
unrolled ut will. So far as could be as
certained, there has been but one of these
singular fish caught in this region before
| this one. Previous to the war one larger
than this one was captured near Center
street wharf. -Eeyndndina (Fya.) Ob-

THE LITTLE FOLKS.
HOuHe-HuEting.


Two doughty birds hunting went
blubird and wren,
Each on a summer house intent
nice convenient tenement
For a family of ten.
An empty box the bluebird tried
The prize he could not gain;
The wren a hanging squash-shell spisd,
II then, II tilted TO one side,
And that let in the rain.
They hunted east, they hunted west,
Then, in an apple tree,
They lighted on one hole the best
To build cosey household nest
A bird could ever see.
The bluebird took possession quick,
Nor asked the price of rent.
" Hist " chirpod tho wren, and by the beak
Wen prove who'll hold, as we'll AZ seek,
So fair "a tenement :"
The bluebird ruffied his plumes and pecked
With all his angry might
The wren, undaunted and unchecked.
Returned this token of respect
"'ris might" shrieked he, "makes right :"
A Jay from of the nearest hill
Pounced down to end the fray:
All, ha good fellows so we will
Decide possession by the bill,
And might the price shall pay"
They met by chance. and parted wide.
And friends or foes no more:
The bluebird in my caves did hide,
A worn-out shoe the wren supplied
Behind the wood-shed door.

A VillainOus Outrage.

An outrageous piece of villainy is cred
tied to the peach-growers of Roundtop,
Kent county, Nd. They advertised for
fifty women to pick peaches, promising
they could easily earn $1.50 to SO per
day, and get board for 81 week. A
number of Philadelphia girls went down
there only to find 600 already employed,
who found it impossible to earn more
than twenty cents day of fifteen hours
work ; the food supplied them was unfit
to eat; they had to sleep on piles Of hay
and straw, and would gladly return
home, but could not, because out of
funds, and could not raise enough to pay
postage on letters informing their friends
of their situation. Eighteen of the Phila-
delphia girls managed to reach Baltimore
penniless, and having tasted for twenty
four hours, were sent on to Philadelphia
by the CITY.

away. Others, too, were moved across
the streets, and lay careened and hall
full of sand, their occupants having
either been drowned in their dwellings
or sought safety in the waves, and, seiz-
ing shutters, doors, or pieces OF furni-
niture, were carried by the heavy
sea against the houses, in which
very many were killed, while others,
torn and bruised, were carried out of the
city by the water, only to meet death
by drowning. But five or six buildings
of any description were left uninjured,
and not until Friday morning did the
wind change and the water begin to re-
cede. On Saturday it had returned to
its level. All day Friday, or from the
time it was safe to venture out, men
could be seen with RATS, visiting, when
they could be found, the remains of their
houses, in search of their wives and
children, who had been either drowned
or crushed by the houses falling upon
them. Later in the day, when the water
had sufficiently receded to permit it, a
general relief committee and patrol was
formed of those who had escaped. Their
work began by searching for bodies in
the debris of fallen buildings, and i'll this
work they met the most horrible sights.
In several instances entire families were
found covered up in the ruins-father,
mother, and little ones lying huddled to-
gether in what was once the upper stories
of their buildings, where they doubtless
sought safety. In one or two cases,
husband and wife were found clasped in
each others arms, where death caught
them, and together thcy We're hurled
into eternity, almost without moment
warning. The search continued, bodies
being found buried in the sand, some
entirely nude, and so bruised and
mangled, by being thrust against build
ings, that they could not be recognized.
Providing rudely constructed collins
the only ones that could be obtained
these remains were hastily buried. Up
to Monday night ninety dead bodies had
been recovered, some of them at dis
lance of four miles from the town, where
they had been carried by the flood.
During The scenes of terror and confu-
sion numbers of villainous Mexicans
pursued the fearful work of robbing the
dead, and not satisfied with stripping the
bodies of loose valuables, actually chop
ped off their fingers to obtain the ring
upon them. This abominable work
was pursued for some time, until,
the citizens discovering it, they rose
en- masse, and would have destroyed the
ghouls had the latter not fled the town.

A Dog in the Manager.

Drax is the name of an Englishman, a
member of Parliament, who is not at all
unlikely to be mentioned in history for a
course of action which is only justifable
on the ground that a man may do IA he
likes with what is his own. This man liz
the owner of what is known as Caesars
Camp" at Wimbledon, a piece of terri
tory which is noted as one of the relics
of antiquity. 1t was desired to purchase
this land in order to preserve its pecu-
liarities, but the price demanded was
beyond reason. Failing to effect sale,
Drax has begun the obliteration of all
that makes il of any value.
