A Clean Legislature
Whatever mistakes the Legislature

scandal. and probably the first session

where there vas any money considera-
ton in the question. and Nevada may

known as a devil fish. They rarely APP |
pear here, but are frequently found
in the waters about Victoria.
1t was therefore with some surprise
that Diver Llewelyyn, who had met
with them in the waters of San Fran
cisco and Victoria, beheld one when
he descended from the deck OF the
steamer Clyde to the bottom OF the
channel. The octopus was lying be-
side the pipe, engaged in his matutinal
meal. His fare consisted of crab, and
that his appetite was good was evlnced
by the fact that crab shells were lying
scattered along the pipe for a con-
siderable distance.
The octopus was reposing on the
spot where the divers were going to
work. and it was necessary either to
move him or to wait until he saw fit
to move himself. Diver McHardy had
followed Llewellyn to the bottom, and
the two now held conversation by
means of signs as to how they should
act. and it was decided to make an at
| tack at once.
According, Llewellyn got on one
side. McHardy stayed on the other,
and it was arranged that at a sign
from the former both should attack
the enemy with the iron crowbars,
about eight feet long, which they had
with them. The octopus during this
time was cycling the divers with an
intent gaze, as if sizing them up for a
meal He was also eXpectant of an at
tack, and awaited the beginning OF
hostilities with confidence.
The divers at signal approached
the monster, which, raising a couple
of his feelers, prepared to ward of
attack from either side A consider
