Itisnotbingof the kind. Tlie drama was written by s German author for Janauschek, and {s based upon » novel of Frederica Bremer's, called * Our Neighbors,"” It bears no more similarity to the pleco alluded to than it does to * Hamfet.”” In many respects ** The Countess " is a powerful work, strong fu eomne fmpressive tragic effects and in the delineation of a majes- tic type of womanhood, such as Mme, Janau- schick delights to portray. ‘1o tlie present pop- ular taste, which runs in the direction of French emotlonalism, or elsa farce-comedy, this drama will probably scem lieavy, If not wmonotonous, unrelicsed as ft s by a touch of Rayety, and dealing almost exclusively with the #ad and solemn aspects of life.

They aro hoth of enormous slz¢, and throw into the shade ail previous apecimens of these monsters of the deen. The Jargest of the two measured sixty-five feet from the extremity of the tentacles to the tip of the tail,—the body being twenty feet in length, and its largest arms forty-five fect, while the shorter ones were pixtcen fect in length, and thicker I man's thigh. They had both been driven by heavy gale Into shallow water, and, when the tide receded, were unabla to escape. Unfortunately, the fshermen, not knowing what an Intercst now attaches to thess marine monsters, cut them up for dogs® meat, Thelr fortunes would have been made had they pre- scrved them futact and sent them to 8t.

F., where it was exhibited for several days, and then purchased for the New Yurk Aquarium, where {t attracted thou- sands of visitors. It wasalterwards exhibited fn leading cities of the United States, nud realized a large sum of money for its proprietors. It is the only perfeet eaptured epecimen In existenca. Its body is tenfeet fn lcogth, the tentacles ihirts feet, and the shorter arms eleven fect. The ten arms had on them not less than 2,000 suckers, Either one of those recently cantured wos double the size of the anccimen now In New York. 'The beak and portlons of the head and skin of the larvest one liave been preserved, and wiil be forwarded to Prof. Yerrill, of Yale Col- Tegge, who has made the study of these creatures aspcclaity. When the firsi of thesa hideous monsters‘'was dlscovered by the flshermen, it nrnelrcd to them a shapeless mass fn mo- tion, On approaching nearer, they saw it ¥as an extravrainary flsh of eome king, which had been left agronnd by the uhhlnF tide, and was strugzitng hard to escape. In its frantic ctforts, it flung its huge arms sbout, lashing the water into foamn; and, from’a fun- nel behind the head, it spouted streamns of water, which was occasionally darkened by belug intermixed with an Inky fluld. ~Its great, glussy eyes stouck terror Into thedr liearts, une for a tini¢ they looked on n silent horror at the contortions of the huge monster. Plucking up courage as the fish became exhausted, they harpaoued 1t, and fastened the ropes to tree-trunks, aud, when the tide receded, it soon expired. The long tentacles of the devil-fish are thin, Lt tough ns leather, and so pliable tlat the creature can work them with as great case und rapidity asa cat works ber paws. Thelr broadeucd extrem. fties arc cuvered with powerful euckers, the largest belug an Inch und a half fn diameter, The margins of these suckers are horny, sud biave stiarp teeth, In the centro is a piston, or plug, which the aniinal can retract at will with great rapldity, thus ercating a vacuum, und the denticulated edges sink decp into the flesh of the victlm with 8 grip wbich no furce could relcase. ch™ of ~the clght shorter nud more powerful arms has one side covered with these suckers, ‘I'he larger oncof those giant ctitties fust cap- tured must havehad 2,500 or 3,000 suckers.
