Oct. 25.—Tle devil-dsh at the Aquarium may be interesting, but it certamly is Dot hardsome. The sight of it recalls the hor- rible things that have been written and told shout sca-monsters, and is admiranly caiculated 10 disturb the dreams of children and vurscs. Victor Hugo says it is dificult for those who have not secn it to believe the existence of the devilfih. Itisas difiicult for those who have scen it 1o forget such existence, and I know a score of Jadies who declare they never will ven- ture to bathe in the seaagain, This monster has a body two fect lonzer than the one de- scribed so blood-curdlingly in * Toilers of the Sea,” but in very many respects that descrip- tion suswers as well as if this veritable vampire had gone to the Frenchman for his porerait. Here is the same grayish form, the thickness of amau's arm; the ragged outline, resembling =n umbrelda closed and without bandle, and here are the tentacles or radii, ten in num- ber, which resemble the spokes of a wheel whose lub is a face with two monstrous eyes and yet a more mon- strous mouth. The two longest temtacles measure over thirty fuet. Like the others, they taper to the size of two fingers at the end, while they are perhaps seven or cight inches in circumference at the juncture with the body. This bods has no bloed, no bones, no flesh. It is soft and flabby, illustrating the line “A glu- tinous mass with a malignant will,” save tuat the will was EFFECTUALLT POUNDED OCT by the fishermen of New Brunswick, who bad as little as possible to do with the snimal until they made sure it was thoroughly dead. In this they were eminoently sensible and buman. The devil-fish is not the sort of com- panion the average man likes to trifle with. In the art of embracing it probably has no equal, and here displays the indisputable advantage of ten arms; but even from embraces some would gladly flee. Feeling, too, is admitted to bean admirable quality in its place, but there is altogether too much chance for feeling here. T'o be felt. for by 400 * feelers at a time has its tragic side. M. Hugo's bero, it is true,—that is, if it is any of it truc,—endured these plerdng feelings, and dexterously whipped off the head of the piemvre at the instant when ot to bave doze so would have cost his life. Very zood.—be was a hero, and welcome 10 bis amuscment. But, then, his devil-ish had voteeth! Ours, s0 to speak, discounts that. Its jaw formsa poweriul beak, resembling that of 2 parrot or Lawk, only the upper juw shuts iuto tire lower. The color is dark-brown, decp- cning to black towards tie_tip, where its sub- stance is thicker, and smooth externally.

Moreover, the miralles who stretch their long necks over thic sides of their inclosure a few feet away either do’t know what a cnaructer they are looking down ou, or daw’t care for bard storics. To conciude this subject, itis not unjust to say that the picture of the devilfish, alive aud thrashiug off Newfoundland, given n_Lurper's 1Liis week, looks 2 the devil- fish dead and pickled at the Aquarium as the puinted cast of the white whale, huvg up high aund dry, looks like the white whale which uded 10 biow about inthe Aquarium tank.

One of the Foung broscrs, as popular and gay a *boy ™ as +he iist coutaics, managed to- scrape tozether 35,000 betore the recent *bull™ movement be- . <an, =nd was sanguine of rapidly inereasing his g capital by a vrofitable investment. He was s})ctl:fllv friendly with one of the leading “bulls,” a well-knowu man onthe turf, and eought advice trom this Intellizent source, It &0 happened that the combination had weaken- ed, znd decided to sell out the Yery next dav. ‘When, bowever.

Flushed with cxeitemest over thie prospect of what was sure to come fn his favor, ‘the vounm: man was on hand promptly at first calf in the mornn, and bought Lake Shoreat 7l. He lad, more- cver, influenced other small capitalists to do hkewise, on the strength of such advive, and for a few minutes the stock was buoyant and promsing. But no sooner had it rsen wwo points than the markct was iooded, suddenly and without warning, and_before the poor f lows could realize what haa happened Lake Shore was_down 1085, aud they hiad no money to put up further marzins. So they were sola out, 1o the totailoss of every centthey possessed, while the ** bull” informant w : CHUCKLING IN HIS SLEEVE at the neat trick lie bad played on the * boys,” who had enabled him to turn a handsome sum by the upward fmpetus their uumbers and con- fidence had imparted to the opening bids. Such action as this, done by a man worthhis hundreds of thousands, to the utter cleaninz out of men who bave had a bard tussle with the Wall-street demon of fortune,—the goddess never ventures down there,—scems incredible. Yet, 50 tar from that, 1t goes for a capital practical joke, and 15 0L AUy TIOTE_LNCOMMON 0N the streel than less ruinous Iving is. The excuse for the deed, it any exuse were made, would be that it was the “ bull’s " interest to keep stock up till he could sel! his farge hundful of them at 1 profit. 1f he bad told the smull broker toscll as the ool was about to breaks, the news would have beew given out in turn to many others, and next day the stock would go down, to bis large dis- aster. Such an exeuse, however, would be little improvement, morally considered, from the plain statement that it was done just for the fun of the thing. It is,in the same line of argument, undoubtedly forthe burelar's futerest to walk away undisturbedly with the contents of other people’s safes, but “the police interiere with him—when they chance to be around~tor all that. The wonaer is, as the narrator of the incident said, that some of these dchberately- victimized men, made desperate by their lusses, do not kill the_shameless swindlers, or at least treat them as Selover did Gould.

Going up-town to-day I saw two or three hun- dred persons crowded about the beautiful build- ing of the Dime Savines Bank, at the juncture of Broadway and Sixth avenue. This is the sce- ond day of the-“run,’” which was started by the report that the Examiner at Albany had sént a man down to look over the accounts. Sucha report, in these days of distrust, was sutficient to create a fright, wuich was uot quicted any by the action of & few speculators who tried 10 run down the market on the strength of an invented defaleation. Every effort Las been put forth to check the “run ™ aud reassure the depositors, but to no_purpose. The testimony of the Ex- aminer himself that he had no doubt as to the bauk's solvency, and that nis oflicer was only doing refular duty, went for nothing, “nor could the fact that there arc £9,000,000 of assets in zood bonds be made an etlective argument to those who came not for argument but for mouey. The Dime Bank building, completed only last year. is one of the finest structures in the city, and this but ren- ders the depositors more fearful, siuce the brok- en bauks were generally swamped in attempt- ing to carry such a load in real estate. 1t wouid bea pity to have the buildine sold ava sacnfice, and the officers will not mive up till the last chance is gone to recover under 1ne pressure. I'he President has notdrawn bis salary for some months, which indicates an uncesirable weak- ness somewhere: but all business wen hope the Dime Savings may be sayed from going under. BANKERS AS W: BAN the large oncs not less than the smaller, have had and are having serious struggles.

CricAGo, Oct. 27.—~The subject of pavements is oue that interests all classes of citizens. 1f the streets of a great city are permitted to re- semble the dilapidated condition of an outeast upon the higuway, all interests suffer. Mauy of our newly-paved streets resemble the greenborn who. upon bis first visit to tixe city, is induced o put on a new suit of shoudy dothing and a shinin paper collar, but who is unfortunately caught ont of docrs in a rain-sturm, Property-cwners, in their justitiavic efforts to obtain a cheap pavement, are not justified, how- ever, in permitting the frauds and temporary abominations that have been laid for several years nast, for it is the comuon remark of hoth idents and visitors that there is not 2 weli- paved street in the city. Such a condition is un injury to any city, whether 1t be devoted to pleasure- i or the beavier travel ot traf o] the Mavor or - other ity authorities would ~ distinguish and make a success o their administration of afairs that would be remembered to their honor, they could do it by inaugurating a radical ¢hunge in_the present eystem of street-paving. Will they have the foresight and freedom from ail arrangements and combinations of contract- ors to uet out of the literally rotten ruts that they are uow traveling in, and by o doing pull the city out of the sloughs of despond into which it has been literally sinking, and put it upon a firmer basis¢ Mot upon a foundation of sand, boards, or planks, for thesc are but ill- conditioned subterfuges, and by to that class of shoddy phenomena that distinguish o disreputatle class of merchants, but upon a £olid foundation, and one referred to in one of the most venerable authorities on correct build- ing—rock. i Nature, when it made the flat, yielding sofl of the prairie, also provided vast quantitics of stratified rock or flagstones. Quarries contain- ing almost unlimited deposits of this class of stone exist within a few miles of Chicago at Lemont, Joliet, ete., and in fact there are thou- sauds of acres of it ¢stending for many miles through the surrounding country,—more than could be used iu a hundred years. Why could not these flazstones be used for a founcation instead of boards or planks? They would compuact the carth under them and re- main immovable when laid down, which a board or plank will not do. They would also last for- & ever, aud experience in London and other cities has fully demonstraied that wooden blocks placed upon a solid and immovable foundation will last twice as long as when laid upon boards, planks, or other semi-clastic foundatiorn. It is usirable that the city may not be Jike a frand- ulent apple, fair “on the outsuie and decayed at the core, but thut, with vur splendid parks and boulevards surrounding the city, we miay have zood paved streets in the business and resideace centres. The flazstones could be obained at,the quar- ries at but little extra cost above thie wotden Dlanks, as the supply is almost unlimited. und easy Lransportation is available by raif or canal, A golid, durable, aud creditable” pavement of wooden blocks upon this flagstone foundation would at the utmost cost but one-third more. What prudent property-owner would not prefer it? Isimply wish tocall the atteotion of the City Government to these facts, and to sugzest that it might prove a commendable and possi- LIy profitable project to any parties who com- bine public spirit with private enterprise to avail themselves of tbe opportunity to place 1lus pavement. in the strects of our city. PusLic Goop. — Quick Work. 3 Salt Lake Herald, A District Judge, not a thousand miles from Salt Lake City,on a certain Saturday joined 1wo persons of respectability together in the bonds of matrimony. The Judge did his best 1o lasten them, and the parties were pliant as loving natures could be. On Sunday morning, bowever, the married gentleman sought the Judge, laid a complaint about the newly-made I?nde, and averred with allearnestness and sin- ¢enty that they could never live together as man and '{Ieiund must therefore be separted x‘nrthm. 25 the only zood thing that could be done for 1is Honor expostulated, and <t power and influence to dis- suade the parties from separating. - But ltl.‘lfe gentleman“and lady were both determined on Severiz at once the“conjugal knot.

EXGLISH TRAVELERS IN IRE- LAND. : ‘Why They Never Find Oat Anything. London Times, Oct.11. 1t is a great pity that few of our summer travelers, and fewer still of our writers and politiians, visit treland. .We have often before expressed our regret at this fact, and we express itouce more. But Enslishmen must not Le be- suiled across the Chaunel on false pretesses. Ireland s not a perfect conntry to visit for mere purposes of pleasure. The climate is uncertain, aud in a land where, above all other lands, the traveler may count on a shower for every excursion he makes, a national vehicle hes been devised which is pre- cminent above all nationat vehicles in being defenseless against -the weather. The natve thinks nothiug of rain, and he is, hap- pily, unconscious of the defects of the outside car; but the unbappy Saxon crossing dreary wastes of peat land, on what the driver calls 3 “sofi? day, ts very soonand painfully con- scious that ke is wet through from top to toe. Again, if the traveler is of an inquiring disposi- tion, as wrniters and politiciaus may be supposed 10 be, he is often put out in the prosceution of his inquiries. His first difficulty is that the zood-natured native, who is not too aceurate at the best of tunes, always prefers to give answers which he thinks will be pleasant to the mquirer. It is very hard that o man should come from England to be told disagreeable truths, so the respondent gives o guess at what he believes the traveler would like to hear, and that he tells him. Even after this oreliminary dutficulty is grot over, and sometiing approachiniz real contidence is established, the serenity of the curious Englishmau is apt to be often dis- turped. He somehow or other may come ncross an Irishman who tells bim what he tainks, but the thoughts thus revealed are in bhis judsment so inconsequent, so disconuccted, S0 wrong- headed—in a word, s0 unlike his own—that he is tembted to abandon as insoluble the problem of establishing a common understanding with his interlocutor. The Jogieal processes of the two men arenot the same; and it1s one of the hardest problems of life to establis! mental relation between them. If, how: our traveler is a8 manwitha head upon bis shoulders, he soon gets over his fecling of vex- ation, and recognizes the fact i the dilicalty we bove deseribed be is going turougli the very process of education for wnich he came. He crossed over to Ireland to understand Irishinen, to get used 1o their language and their thoughts, 1o scram- ble with them to their conclusions, to be with them in their twists and turus of faucy, to fathom, by participating in their life, the secret of their hates and their loves. Every one who goes to Franee, to 1taly, or to Germany for any othier purpose thun that of breathing pew air knows that he goes through processes like these to learn how a Freuchman, an [talian, or a Ger- man thinks; it ought not to be incomprehensi- ble that something similar bas to be undertaken and achieved hose who would travel in Ire- land with profit. Butitls not casy. Itis nowhere easy, and it is, perhups, least of all easy in n country where tie identity of language misleads the wanderer at the beginuing by inducing o presumption that men.who speak the same tougue . must think the same thoughts, It must be confessed also that there are many travelers who have by nature very lit~ i of that flexibility of mind the knowledre of & new country js_almost unat- taiuable. ‘They mayeven be sedulous to correct this natural defect, and yet they are found at the end stumbling over mmnute variations of life Iving outside_their native experience. The late Mr. Nassau Senior may, perhaps, be cited as au illustration of these truths, He was an ex- cellent, a most worthy man; it is a pity we have so few like.him. Hewas a keen observer, a most diligent inquirer; he had a habit of wdus- tryto put us all to Shame, acd au avalytical poswer of rare distinction. He wenz about, year after year, from country to country, and people to people, questivning all he mer, seeking out the best people of whom to ask questions, and _making copious motes of all be saw aud heard. "In this way he studied the politics of the Continental nations; but the country to which bie guve the greatest attention was prob- anly Ireland, in which, as the intimate personal fricod of Archbishop Whately, he always had the best means of acquiring information. Yet, who can help feeling that up to the very last there was a greut Full fixed between Mr. Senior and the Irish character? Weseem to see him puzzhing uver its difliculties, and vainly endeav- oring to find the clew that should make its ap- pareut inconsistencies intelligible to himself. Indeed, his sense of the difficulty grew rather than dimiwshed in his later journeys. At first he Dbelieved he had upraveled the cecentricities in the secrct of Irish political thouzht. He saw -much in the administration and government of freland that was altogether faulty, and from dwelling on these defects he ot to believe that certain retorms would remove every ditlicuity. The emaucipstion of the Tomun Catholics, the institu- tion of a tolerable way of collecting tithes, the establishment of the Queen’s Colleges, the lacement of impoverished land-owners throush tue Iucumbered Estates Court, and the diminution of an excessive population by famine and_emigration, ought to have put eversthing straight: but Mr. Senior found that the enigma of the Irish nature remained after the circum- stances to which he attributed it had been re- nioved; and there is a perceptible diminution of confidence in his lu journals of Irish travel as compared with those of earlicr years.
