perishable, and in short time decompo- sition sets in and it can only be preserved in the strongest alcohol.
 "I have carefully taken the measure alent of the monster, and hefollowing are are the dimensions: The two long tenta- cles are each thirty feet; the body ten feet in length, making the total length from the termination of the outstretched long arms to extremity of tail forty feet. The long tentacles are thin and tough as leath- CT, being Cnly five inch, n circumferC nce except at the extremit $, where they broaden out and are eight inches in cir conference. The body at its thickest part Is nearly seven feet in circumference There are eight short arms, which at tie point of connection with the central mass are seventeen inches in circumference, but at their eXsremities taper down to fine tongue-like points, having rows of Sucke g along one side. l tried to count these suckers on one arm, which is eleven feet in length, and made out 250, large and small; so that the eight arms must conta n 2000 suckers; the long arms perhaps 250 more The head, or central mass from which the arms radiate, is four feet in cir conference. Unfortunately the delicate eyes had been destroyed on the voyage or in putting it on board; but the socket If one measured eight inches in diameter.
 "The appearance of the animal when in the water is described by the fishermen as extraordinary. Its tail had got fast on rock as it was swimming backward, and it was rendered powerless. Ih it's desperate efforts to escape its ten arms darted about in all directions, flashing the water into foam, the thirty-foot tentacles in particular making lively play as it shot them out and eldeavored to get purchase with the,r powerful suckers, so as to drag itself int deep water. It was only when it became exhausted and the tide receded that tie f shermen ventured to approach it."

The Monster Of the Deep.

The New York Words St. John N. F. ) cores spondent gives the following account of the capture of the monster deFil-tish which was recently washed ashore by d gale ol the Newfoundland coast, and which has since been sent to New York and plac- ed in theocity aquarium:
 "This wanderer of the deep was driven ashore in an exhausted condition at Cata- lima, on the northern shore of Trinity bay. When stranded it was still alive, but died soon after the ebb ef the tide, which left it high and dry on the beach. Two fisher men took possession of the treasure tr3ye," and the whole settlement gathered to gaze in astonishment at the monster. As soon as the news spread an eager desi:e to view the monster was awakened, and the fishermen were advised to exhibit it before the public. The Government granted the use of the drill-shed for the purt O. e, and on tae floor, supported by boards, the creature was laid out in all its gigantic proportions. The lucky fishermen reaped a golden harvest and found the big scuid by far the best catch they had ever madt :. When taken from the water the color of the squid was dusky red, but that has disappeared, and the body and arms are now perfectly white. There is the usual horny beak, the parrot-like mandbles which project from membraneous bag in the center of the mass which constitu- radiate. Certainly the idea of being clutch ed in those terrible arms, from which there could be no escape when once they had closed, and then torn and rent by the for midable beak, is enough to send shud- dering thrill through the stoutest heart. Looking at this creature, one can under stand that the wild tales told of krakens and other great cuttles in the Indian seas, through greatly exaggerated, had very substantial foundation in fact Posterior to the head were a pair of huge staring eyes, the sockets being eight inches in diameter. Their expression, when the creature was alive on the beach, is said by the fishermen to have been peculiarly fe- rocious. The governor, Sir John Glover, visited it, and declared that in all his heightened experience in Africa he had seen nothing half so wonderful. It is-very

A Texas sncf ICats


 The road to justice in TeXas is sometimes very short and attended with very little expense, as was Illustrated by an occur renee in Jefferson snort time ago.
 A gambler had bee bathing in the river in company with some others of his ilk, who had drivel1 down in an express wagon. Wishing to ride up to town he proposed that if they would take him up he would treat, an offer wh ch was accepted. When they reached the square they went to d saloon, had their drinks, and then the gam bier diseoeere. that he lack, d fifteen cents of having money enough to pay the bill. The barkeeper became quite noisy about the shortage, insisting that the drinks should not have been ordered until the purchaser knew the exact state of his cash account. The gambler remarked that he thought the barkeeper was making d-d sight of fuss about fifteen cents, and turned to Col Long, U. s. Commissioner, who was sitting at table, and asked him if he did not agree with him. He replied that he thought man should pay for drinks when he ordered them.
 Well" replied the gambler, 6 will be back in few minutes and settle this mat ter" an1 passed out.
 In less than five minutes he returned, and as he entered the door drew revolver fired at the barkeeper, striking him in the arm. He fired again tut missed the barkeeper, but the shot took effect in the shoulder one of his best friends. He then turned and fired at Col. Long, who was still sitting at the table, the ball entering his breast and lodging near the spinal column. Col. Long rose up, walked two squares to his home, laid down on bed and died III minute.
 After firing the three shots the gambler fled across the bridge into the timber in the bottoms on the west side. The yells of the barkee CT drew large crowd who at once started with policeman ill pursuit As they gained upon the murderer he turned and fired upon his pursue"s, which had a tendency to decrease their arder in the chase; but just then a cowboy mounted on a pony, rode up and told the policeman to give him his pistol and he would capture the man. The officer complied with hls request and the cowboy commanded the gambler to halt but the command was re- sponded to with shot. When the heT-dcr found himself within range he brought his pistol down with d jerk and fired with fatal effect. The gambler ran few steps and fell &ehd, and his pursuer coGlly rode up and dismounted, took the dead mans pis- tols and returned to town to learn that his victim had killed one of the best citizens of the city.
 saw the cowboy about 10 o'clock that night, and heard hlm remark that he thought the county ought 10 pay him five dollars anyhow, as he had saved it the eX- pense of a trial"- Cincinnatti Enquirer.
