yiCTOlt HUGO'S DEVIL-FISH.
*. ' -
, In his recent work, the ?'Toilers of tho Boa," at
pago 122 of HAIIPER'B ?J'?.ion, Huao gives an exci
ting account of a singular and hideous monster,
tho "piouvro." It is commonly supposod that this
animal is a croaturo of Huoo's brain, but ho lins
in fact told very littlo moro than tho exact truth
about it. Tho cuttle-fish ia a cronluro vory well
known to n?turaliutn and to eeamon, but less fa
miliar to the gonorul public. Hero ?B Huoo's po
otficttl description ol tho "dovil-flsh" :
If torror wcro tho object of its creation, no
thing could bo imagined moro perfoct than tho
dovil-ilah.
Tho whalo han enormous bulk, tho devil-fish
is comparatively small; the jurara.? nin.ios a

xos has a horn, tho devil-flab has ?one; tho scor
pion has a duri, the duvU-flsb ha* no dart; tho
shark Ima sharp linn, tlio dovil-lisli has no lina;
tho voaportilio-vampyio has winga with claw?, tho
devil-Hsu baa no in??; tho poronpiuo lina hia

none; tho toad hua ita po.-OD, the dovil-llsh baa

.has no taloua; the griffon baa ita beak, the dovil

Tho devil-fish baa no muscular organisation, no

What, thou, ia tho dovil-fiah? It is tho sea

A writer in Harper's Magazine for July, 18C0,
<teecribes the monster in plain prose, and somo

** THE CUTTLE FISH.
Tho colossal cuttle fish belongs to tho clase
Aloltusoa, and tho older Cephalopoda-so called

About the head. Ila common namo ia "cunio

_,. shoals, m-ar the surface of tho water, in various
farta of the ocean, and aro ravenously pursued
y dolphins, bonita, almcore, and oven by por
poises, whose choice food they are. There is a
variety, which mensuren aomo two inches in
length, which has the faculty of darting out of
the water when puraued, and ia therefore called
by Seamen tho living squid. It is found in vast
numbers on tho banka of Newfoundland, where
our cod-flahormon na? a peculiarly constructed
book to catch it. They uso the animal for bait in
catching- codSab, who seem to be extravagantly
i'oud of it, and will bito at a squid bait when
even tho most doiicate clam does not tempt
them.
Tho ancients know the cuttle-fish very well.
TThey are evon now f ?und in considerable numbers

TH- INA-BAG.
Tlio inky fluid, which is secreted in a little bag
In tho Upper part of the animal's body, and which
_?l-iy took to be its blood, baa a sweet and pleas
ant taste, and wns formerly used in cooking tho
body, to give it a peculiar flavor. It flows more
freely from tho body when the animal has beon
dead a day than while it is still alivo; of which tho
Chinese avail themselves, who, according to some
Dutch travellers who descrioe the manufacture of
India ink, gather tho cuttle-fish, and throw them
together in vats, when? the ink flows out, and is
drained off into proper vessels below. Denys
Montfort, who is tlio moat voluminous writer on
the cuttle-fish, aaserta that the fresh fluid makes
an ineradicable stain in Huon. Though in the
common cuttlc-fiah the ink-bag is ouly the size or
a man's thumb, tho animal can squirt the. juico out
to a distance of six feet, und with considerable
force; and the small contents of the bag suffice
mich ia the diffusive und penetrating power of the
fluid-to color several buckets of water.
TUB TEBBIB-E MOUTH AND AltMS.
The body of tho cuttle-tiah bos no opening be
low. All the issuea or voids are grouped uear the
mouth. This mouth is a weapon of so terrible a
force that a mero glance at it, and at the huge
sullen eyes of the beaut, at once convince the ob
server that it is a ficrco and ravenous animal. It
is not a mouth, properly, but a bill, parrot-shap
ed, with strong, sharp horny edges, the lowor
mandible fitting inn tho upper. Tho muscles are
very strongly developed, and show that its hold
""?is deadly, as Indeed ia proyeu by those, who have
observed it Beizing and tearing to pieces its pr_y.
The eyes are quite round, very prominent, set
J,t tho sides of tim hoad, aud have a malignant,
greedy, cruel expression, which is indescribable,
but wbioh those who hav_ noticed tho cold-blood
ed stare of the dog-fish of our coast can imagine.
It ia that intensified, and with a gleam of ferocious
intelligence added.
It remains to describo the arms of the cuttle
fish- three monstrous weapons, each furnished
with a series of exhausters, with which it clings
with fatal tenacity to ita prey, which it has first
seized and enveloped in ila anaconda-line bug.
The larger rock sqnid or cuttlc-fi-h has eight
arms. Those, of eourso, vary in length, accord
ing to the size of tho animal; but examples are
common on tho coast of Mudagasca aud Eastern
Africa whoso aims mensuro from throe to flye
feet ia leugth, who spread over a circle, therefore,
whose diameter is from seven to twelvo feet.
Each arra baa a row of Hat projections, com
monly called saokors. but which aro in reality
marvellously contrived nir-exhaiistera, whoso me
chanism is too complicated to be made coraprc
.houaibl- without diagrams. It will suflico to ex
plain that thuy work ia a manner similar to that
ample pieco of leather with a string attached of
Behool boys called a "alicker," with which (in my
school days) wo uaed to lift bricks and other flat,
heavy objects.
Tho body, which is vory small in proportion to
the spread of arma, ia simply a leathery bag, con
taining the intestines aud orgunB of life. The
breathing apparatus is, according to Montfort
(who dissected a gr. at many), so constructed that
the animal oan exist for a considerable time on
the land, and may be called semi-amphibious. Ita
arms, which are nlno ita organs of progression,
but poorly sustain ita weight, and it is not proba
ble that it ever, except by accident, oomes on
shore ; though it hue ita favorito home among tho
rocks ou tho coast, to one of which it clings with
two arma, while tlio rest an? thrown out to oatcb
passing dab. It ia somotimea found la the eurf,
whither it has probably been lod iii pursuit of ita
prey. And several obsorvorn i. Beale in particular)

HABITS OF THE FISH.
Montfort, who spent many yei.ru in observing
tho habita of the cuttle fish, ou two occasions met
them on Bbore. Ouco M hugo mastiff which ac
companied him on his explorations discovered tho
ailinn!, and drew bia maatc-r'a attention by Ida ex
cited barking. "When I carno to the rocho," ho
rolatct., *.! found a cuttlo Hah whoso arms wero
thn_o foot long. Ho waa duionding himself
against til? violent attacks of the dog, an animal
of immotiso size and strength and undaunted
courage, which bad airo ?dy onco saved my lifo
wheu attacked by a wolf. Tho dog ran round the
cuttlo vainly attempting to HO izo tho arms, which
followed litiii with singular di-xtority. and lashod
bim ovor the back uko whips. I looked on. a
minuto in great astonishment at the dexterity Of
tho ouitlo, which seemed full of rage, and showt-d
no desire to retreat, ?hough the water was just
behind it. Whon it Haw me it seemed for the first
time somewhat intimidated. There waa a chango
in its taonos. Tho arms struck out leas ofte_,
and it endeavored to drag fitself to the shore.
J
Seeing tina my bravo dog accrued encouraged.
Watching a chance, ho leaped within tho arma
and fastonod his tooth in one, quito near the[hotly.
.?Instantly four arms wore drawn up and twined
rigidly about tho dog, who struggled vainly to
froo himself, and for onoo losing bia courage ut
tered piteous howls and orios for bolo. Bloan
timo the cuttlo, whoso hugo protruding oyes
eoomed actually ?o Hash Aro, and whoBO body had
turned many coloro, from dark violot to bright
Bcarlot, was drawing itaolf with conaidorablo
epood toward tho water, dragging with little effort
tho hoavy body of my struggling dog. Tho rough
rocky ground holpod him to draw tho weight
along, by giving his arniB Bocuro holds.
"Already tho monster lind reached tho water
side, when I could no longer boar tho sight, and
rushed to the help of my faithful dog. I soixed
two of tho arms of tho cuttlo-fish, and bradas my
feet liinily against a Bolid rock, pulled with nil my
strength. I succeeded in touring looso those arms.
Tho animal struggled, uttered cries of rago which
resembled tho growl of A norco watch-dog; and
linnlly attacked mc, tuo, throwing two of its aruiB
about my person. Hut my bravo dog had not
been idlo. Uiitboring courage from my advance,
ho had succeeded in quito tearing off with his
strong teeth two of the arms of the cuttlo; and
with another struggle ho W:IB froo. J.'hen, with a
fmy which I nover saw equalled, ho attacked *ho
disabled monstor, which wo together soon over
powered."
"I determined, says Montfort, in conclusion,
nover tigain to attack sa animal of this kind un
nrmed, or to venturo to closo quirtera with it."
Tho vast strength and determination of tim
cuttle-fish will uppoar when wo know that, though
this individual spread nearly niuo foot, his body
waa not larger than a pumpkin.
TUR K1UKEN.
So much foi* au animal which is common enough;
but wo como now to trout of a, larger variety, as
of a supposed moiistor. To present to the incred
ulous nader the krakon, or colossal cuttle-fish,
without li rat allowing him,tho mininera mid hubits
of tho commoner variety, would have bien im
prudent; and I am too good a lawyer to bo thus
imprudent.
Our sporni-wlialomon have long known of tho
oxiatonco of a species of cuttlc-tish which alt tins
a monstrous B?ZC. I have myself seen and bandied
what was plainly a piece of tho arm ?if such an
nnimaL It ?vas found il?ating in tho so;i, between
Madagascar and tho Iolo of Frauoo, and measured
two feet iu diameter. It was a mure fragment,
perhaps six feet long; but the suckers upon it
wero the sl/.o of a dcosert plato.
It often happens that the'Sperm whale, wheo
in his death agony, becomes 'Vick at the stom
ach." In such enies ho vomits forth musses of
squid, and often individual pieces which aro near
ly as largo as th? body of a full grown niau. It
liinst be boruo in mind that tho throat of tho
sperm nhalo is largo enough to talio in such
masses without difficulty. It ia the right whale
which hn8 a narrow swallow.
Beforo a committee of the British Houso of
Commons, Captain Coffin, of Nantucket, an
swered Homo questions put to him to elucidate
tho mystery of tho formation of ambergris. Ho
slated incidentally that he lind once killnd a
Bperm whale in whose mouth ho found what at
tir.-t appeared to bo au immense serpent. On
drawing it out, Lowcvor, when thoy got the fish
alongside, they fouud it something still moro
wonderful-namely, a portion of tho arm of a
cuttle-fish. It measured a little over twenty-eight
feet, and the s'uekora on it wero as large as dinner
plates. The end which had been swallowed waa
already decayed, mid tho outor ond, whore it h?d
been torn or bitten off, did not appear to havo
reached CIOBO to the body, as the plates or suck
ers reaohed to its extremity, and It is known that
in tho common cuttle-fish tho portion of tho arma
nearest the body arc devoid of theso appendages,
which would bo only iu tho way there.
Now, given eight arms, each twenty-oight or
thirty feot long, with a body in proportion, and
you have at once a monster before which tho sea
serpent must hide its diminished sizo in ouvy.
Our friend, Major DoBos, has banded us tho
following translation of a letter from a recent
French navigator, who had the good fortune to
fall in with one of theso marino monsters :
M. F. BOUTER, commanding the Meelon, says :
"Ox BOAH? THE AI.ECTON, I
??iho look^?te^i*?*_ s&?PSL&y??
the larboard side. 'It is red, looks like a piece of
mast.' 'It ia an animal,' ho now cries, 'I eau Bee
his claws.'"
The Alecton waa approaohing tho objeot in full
speed, I attentively examined the thing so dif
ferently described, and I recognized tho gigan
tiquo cuttle fiah, [poulpe], tho contested resist
ance of which seems real only in mythology. I
waa nearly in the preaence of ono of thoae strange
beinga which the ocean sometimes throwa forth
from ita depths, as if to defy science. Here was a
good opportunity, and I determined to study the
monster as near as possible, and to take hold of it
if was possible. I immediately got every one on
board ready ; they loaded the guns, fixed the har
poons and ropes foi- thoii new sport. Unf< rtu
nately the sea waa very rough, the ship waa rolling
dreadfully, and the manoeuvring difficult, when
the animal, although remaining always on the
wator, WOB moving at oaso, and seemed disposed
to keep away from tho ship.
After several encounters, which only enabled
us to give it about twenty shots, which did not
seem to hurt it, wo succeeded to throw a harpoon
and a laeso. We were preparing to increaeo the
number of ropes, when, in consequence of a pow
erful movement of the animal, the harpoon,
which had not firmly fastened in his glutinous
envelope, gave way; the part of tho animal where
the rope had fastened broke, and we succeeded
only in carrying off a part of his tai).
But wo had aeon him near enough to onable na
to give an exact description of it. It ia the En
cornet Gigantesque.
It seemed to moaaure l8 feot from head to tail,
in the shape of a Parrot's beak, with eight oow
erful arms, five or six feet long. Its aspect is
hideous, color dark red, with ugly eyes as large as
a plate.
Officers and mon were all anxious to lower a
boat in order to go and catch tho monster, and,
perhaps, they might have boen successful, but I
was afraid that in the encounter tho animal might
capsize the boat with his arms and kill some of
thurn with his powerful olaws, which, it is said,
are charged with galvanic electricity. I did not
think proper to oxpose tho lives of my men in or
der to gratify my curiosity, aud, therefore, gave
up the pursuit of the mounter, who instinctively
avoided us by diving and passing to the other aide
of tho ship, when we woro approaching.
Now that I have seen that strange animal, and
seen it too with my own eyes, I dare not deny any
longer the many descriptions given by navigators.
The sea has not spoken its last words yet; it keeps
in its depths Bpocimens of extinot races, or
elaborates, in ita over-working crucible, untold
monsters for the terror of the sailors, and the
subjects of mysterious legends of tho sea.

Southern litt?rature.
A correspondent of tho N*w Orleans Times,
who baa rocently visited Miss EVANS, author of
"Beulah," at her homo in Mobile, writes that she
is engagod upou a now novel, tho scone of which
is laid in Oeorgia.
Tho same writer gives the following account of
othor works in preparation :
Dr. J. O. Nott, another of tho colobrii les of Mo
bile, is also hard at work preparing somo very im
portant Bcioutifio works for tho press; among
thom ho is engaged in preparing a compend of
the "Types of Mankind," which he thinks will con
tain everything essential In the original work, aud
will be much moro oxplicit.
Admiral Semines will soon prepare his adven
tures on tho high soas-whilo in command of tho
Alabama-for the press. He has been offered
?5000, in Ecgl-nd, for the copvrlghtof the work,
but the offer was doclinod. It will probably first
appear in numbers, in a Southern monthly, and
afterwards be gathered up and published iu book
shape.
The May number of the Crescent Monthly, the
now magazine publishod in Now Orleans, has a
striking piotnre of tho literary destitution of the
Bonth during tho war :
We havo received aevoral books from North
ern publishers, anl woro mach gratifiod at tho
idea of once moro being able to keep up with tin
literature of tho day. Nothing could be moro ac
ceptable than books publishod from January, 1861,
to January, 1866. Buring that poriod wo were
shut out from all intercourse with tho literary
world, and only heard of the titles of new hooke
through tho Northern newspapers which " ran the
blockade." This and similar favors we will do oui
beat to recipr?cate. The books issued during the
war are new to the great muss of our people at
well as to us, and they would bay them quito se
readily as thoeo reoontly publiahoq.
To us the greatest ueprivatfon of the war was
that o' being out off from the new books and pe
riodicals ever issuing from the press. It was willi
a spirit of envy, it mast be confossod, that we read
of tho now worka which thoso only a fow miloo be
yond our military lines woro pormittod to onjoy.
How woll do wo romembor the first now book that
foil into our hands after leaving "Oaetlo Thun

timo after the surrender of General Lee; how
fondly wo hold it, and gazed admiringly upon its
covers and their lottoring; how proudly wo turnod

Causes of the English Financial Panic.
The Pall Mall Gazette, of the I2iti inst., baa an
editorial explanation of tho causos of tho finan
cial panic in London, which is more explicit than
any other wo havo mot with, if not moro conclu
sive. Tho writor says that the panic cannot be
attributed to any of the ordinary oausos, liko
business losses, failure of crops, cotton famine,
excosaivo export of bullion, ace., Ac. The "finan
cing system" is at the bottom of Iho wholo difll
culty, and what this systom is may be gathered
from the circumstances of tho flrat groat victims
of the panic, as follows :
The legitimate business of Overond, Gurnoy &
Oo. was to discount bills, which, to people pos
sessed of the nocossary capital and oxperience, is
one of the saftCBt ways of making money that can
bo imagined, and ono by which the members of
tho old Arm had at oho timo accumulated fabu
lous wealth. Unluckily, however, for themselves
and tho public, tlioy took to advancing money in
inmenso suma to finance companies and similar
bodies on soouritios which could not possibly bo
contorted Into monoy for many months, perhaps
ovon for yoars.
In order to enable thom to do this, largo num
bers of bankore and other persons deposited with
them thoir surplus cash, which could bo called in
either on demand or at ft vory short notice, and
wo have reason to believe that when they stoppod
payment thoir position might havo been repre
sented not very Incorrectly by tho following
figures. Thoy had a oapitul of ?1,000.000. They
had deposits whiob woro unsecured, and for
which, accordingly, thoy wore immediately Hablo,
of ?3,500,000. They had also ?6,000,000 of de
posits for whioh tho depositors hold securities.
Thoy had leas than half a million of approved
bille or othor soouritios in'their hands, on whioh
money could bo advanced by any prudent com
pany. What thoir claims upon their own debtors
were, wo do not pretend to know. Tho shares of
the oompany, as every otie knows, wero at 10 pre
mium not long since, but by somo of those fluc
tuatinnsend ii may be by soma of thoso ingenious
manouvras which flourish qn tho Stock Exchange,
thoy began to fall some time ago. When tlio fall
hod once set in it had a tendency to inoroaso, as
the sbaroholdora did not understand it, and did
undoratand the immonse liabilities which thoy
had inourred. As the share* fell, the depositors
with the bouao becamo alaruiod aud withdrew
heir balancea, and inasmuch ae tho company had
locked up all their funda in securities which wero
for practical purpose? inconvertible, tho result was
thoir stoppage
Thoir application to tho Bank of England failed
of courao, for tho securities they wore ablo to offer
amounted to less than half a million, while their
immediate liabilities wero aoven times as much.
In short, they arrived at tho natural ond of their
courso of doing business, which waa to lend for
long ferma and at an onormous interest money
which thoy had borrowed from others for short
terms and at lower interest. Bo long na the loan,
for abort terms wero forthcoming, thoy, no doubt,
made great prouts; but. as sonn asthoyworo with
drawn, ruin was Inevitable. Tho writer adds:
"It is easy to seo how a catastrophe of tbia sort
works round upon others. Tho bankers who wero
known to have mudo depot-ita with Ovcrond, Gur
ney >fc Co. to -t largo amount wero, of course, sup
posed to bo themsolves in danger, and boneo cunio
a run upon thom. Thoy in turn havo had to aoply
in Home lustancos foi- assistance to tho Bank of
IOngland, and though that aaaiatauee baa been
most liberally given (wo believe flint the amount
of bills diacoui.ted yesterday waa groaler than bad
ever been kin wn before), tho Dunk Charter Act
prevented a certain lim t of accommodation from
being passed."
