scene in the House of Lords which
surpassed in brilliancy and anima-

Lord Derby was very sharp. Lord
Salisbury said Lord Derby was con-

was his third speech since he left the
cabinet and on each occasion had an
installment of an awful tale. Like DIR.
Oates he said Lord Derby did not
know how much the public would en-
dure, 90 he gave his story in broken
doses. So far as his, Lord Salisbury's,
memory served Lord Derby's state-

A Giant Devil-Fish.

Since the capture at Catalina, Trinity
Bay, of the gigantic cephaloped which
is now attracting crowds to view it in
the New York aquarium, another has
been cast ashore of still larger dimen-
sions, at Lance Cove, Smiths Sound,
about 20 miles further up Trinity Bay
than the locality where the former was
taken. On the 21st of November,
during high tide and high inshore
wind, smother Of these giant squids was
borne ashore at the locality named, and
grounded on a shingly beach. In its
desperate efforts to escape, it used its
syphon or funnel so forcibly that the
stream of water pouring from it plowed
up trench on the beach thirty feet in
length and, of considerable depth.
Soon the retiring tide left it high on the
beach. Mr.. John buffet, resident of
the place, was among those who collect
ed to view the monster, and he carefully
measured the arms and body. The
long tehtacles he found to be thirty
three feet in length, being three feet
longer than the Catalina specimen;
and the body eleven feet, or one foot
longer than that of the former. He did
not measure the shorter arms, but esti-
mates them at thirteen feet, and describes
them as being of enormous thickness at
the shoulder. twas the largest spec:-
men yet obtained, and in the most
perfect condition. buffet knew moth
ing of the value of these monsters, ex-
sept as manure or dogs meat, and he
put his few quintals of fish on board his
little vessel and came on here, leaving
the big squid to rot on the strand or be
washed back into the sea.-NeaO York

An Italian Romance.

A sad affair has lately been brought to
light in Italy. In small cave near
Udino, a woman was found who had
been imprisoned there SO years. In 1874
she became attached to an Austrian Off
Ger, but her father, a violent hater of
the Austrians, who at that time were in
possessionof that part of Italy where he
resided, refused his consent to mar
rage. The girl stated that she would
then marry without his permission. He
dissimulated his anger, and during q
walk in which he accompanied her, he
induced her to descend into the cave
with him by means of a rope ladder,
with a view of examining it. He was
the first to ascend to the surface, and,
Withdrawing the ladder, left her. She
was kept regularly supplied with food
and clothing. Even when her cruel
father died she was not released, for her
sister, whose hatred to the Austrians
was equally great, continued the impris-
onment. The unfortunate woman, on
her liberation, had complexion of a
death-like pallor, caused by the darkness
in which she had so long lived, and her
voice had departed through constant
cries for help during the early part of
her sequestraiion. She could speak only
in a hoarse whisper.

up the steep side, and scarcely
were we seated when away she
glided, displaying simultaneously
the newly-assumed name of "Rob-
ert Delmas." The rounds of hearty
applause which greeted It's pre-
sentatiOn testified in the highest
degree the esteem in which the
gentleman whose name she hOnors
is held by his fellow citizens.
The event was indeed joyful. On
arriving at terra firma we found "a

The "Robert De.mas" is owned

The vessel has been thoroughly

proud of his beautiful craft.
