CAPTAIN GRUNDY SEES AN OLD OCTOPUS.

Captain Grtjndt, of the dipper schoouer Torea; has seen an' octopus of' marvellous size. His story would scarcely bo credited coming from aoy unknown person, but com ing, as it does, from such a nigh authority, none will dispute it's voracity. Hero is the tale told in his own words. l We' were 5 off Capo EgniODt, when the man at the wheel drew my attention to what ho said, .was, rocks breaking. I thought the objectTiad; more the appearance of a wreck, and know ing that there was a vessel missing named the Poneko, I hauled up to inspect it On nearing, I still thought it was tho .wreck : of the vessel, but on *pproaob,ipg pretty; close I was astonished beyond measure to observe a flock of birda picking ', at tho body—not of a wreck, but of j the carcase of . some marine monster.! On standing close up,. I perceived it to be; au euormous octapns, of which species I had j previously caught two youog ones, which Ij gave to Mr Reischek,' who is now engaged] at the Auckland Museum. The arms of tho latter were only 12 feet long, its body, smaller iD proportion, but the gigantic car-) case floating in tho water baffles descrip-, tion. Its huge size so impressed me with; wonder that I called up the crew and wo ran alongside,

»0 THE FiUGHTFUL MONSTBR. The carcase stood nine feet out of thoj water. It was fully thirty feet across, and the feelers or arras Boating on the surface of j the sea -were each fully fifty feet long, and as they roM and fell with the swell were horrible to gaze upon. Captain Urundy is wall-known as a skilful, intrepid old navigator, who knows no senti ment-of via justified fear. |Ho has had) "• sharks snapping at his legs and swimming! 1 for hours round him waiting for a chance. Ho has had the leviathans1 of the. deep threatening him as they raised thoir ■ponderous Whalebone frames and blabber carcases ont of the mighty depths,, slapping the ocean viciously with, their,.tails, and snappiug the air with their terrible jaws as they roso sulkily out ot thesea, as'much. as to say,: Captain Grundy, you're nori exactly boss of the ocean, though.you oarj boas it over those Auckland skippers. Do ye see our jaws, captain ? (snap 'goes the jawa.) Do you see our. tails 1 (smack 01 • the water eoes thatails:) Captain G riindv hoars the jaws chopping together witl: & sound like • the collision of tw< ironclads, and he- sees the tail: smacking up ' water mountains ' bigt and cooly rtms the Torea throngh the lot i with as much comnoiuro a3 he raced the Torea against the Transit; but when he laj alongside the. terrible scburge'of divers,'th<i most irightiul monster of the deep, thoiveri, table sea-serpent' of the ninoteeth ceotnry Who can blame him if he felt unfftsy at thn uncanny mountain of flesh before hira, witi its array of terrific arms spread out over i hnge extent, *s if ready toaprjng on th< ''Barboui-irailt schooacr and. drapt it to tin bottora"ofttj.se.a. No wpn^orit tho gal lant captain was a trifle'scared. lie, how^ ever, took cldse scrutiny of the monster, and obsferv6d a sort of neck projeijtipg abou ; . six feet long, with, a b% sc>ly;f]ap lUfe a coal-scuttle. Thus, withoutt.L.doubtii! ithn captain' «f She Torea saw not onlythfc biggest octopus over seeii by mariiier but also h«s discovered the real,, an<j qennind Bea«sorpent< His nearest available ! was Nelson, about 110 miles away, 'oj he might have attempted to tow his dreaq ful discovery into harbour. , He regrets very much that he did not cut off one of t he filijr feet arms, with the numberless suckers, like elephants' trunks which covered>the same. AS it is, tile old grandfather octapus wap allowed to float majestically on in fnH'pOJJ-; Bessioa of ita limbs, and al| we cao, hope i^ that if Judge Gillies, or auy other learned member of the Auckland Institute now op route for New Zealand, comes across this monster ho will "gofor him,"and'^O satisfy public curiosity will fetch a couple of arms totheMuseum. Mr Cheeseman.will gladly, find room, even if he has to wind themx round the statuary. From the eize and appearanco of the octapus it is conj.ec(urcd he died of old, age, for no other inhabitant of the vasty deep could stand a combat witji such an octapus in the primo of life, 'Jt estimated that jndgtng by its enormouily powerful frame, it cduld take a hundred ton sperm whale in its arms and hold it in a perpendicnlar position, while it squeezed the fish to death. - .

THEATRE ROYAL.

WHATEVER may be said o£ the Lirigard Company in the interpretation of vocal music no one will refuse to concede them praise for the general excellence ot their dramatic performance?, and more particu larly for their representation of comedy. Mrs Lingard has a reputation throughout the colony as a talented access, and the cordiality of the feeling towards her _in this city was manifested in the crowded house which marked her benefit last night. The programme was au unjisualty, long one comprising as it did a four act drama entitled "The Vestal, be sides the ever popular "Our; J3oys. The former was tho piece de resistance.,, Mrs Lingard, Mrs Fitzwilliam, Mr Steelo,;; and Mr Craig, are entitled, to tho largest share of commendation. As opinna, the guilty vestal, the firat named lady both looked and acted thepart admirably.and she richly deserved all thefavours which the largo audience lavished upon her. MrsFitiwillian^ was realistic in speech and mien as,the Granddame Posthumania," and Mr Oraig s " Fabius " was dienified and natural, jVhile Mr Steelo" gave a very good impersonation, of "Lentnlis." MrLingard.playediheparlj, of " Vestorpor," tho Gallic slave, voice was decidedly against him desl pite his effort 3to deepen it. Mr Overton made an excellent Pontifex Maximua. "Onr Boys" proved s chaini ng afterpiece. The Company left for Wei .ngton to-day. . : > '; •^;'>'.>I. J -

! NIGHT SOIL CONTRACT,

(To the Editor.)

Sir, —Your correspondent "Citizen," whou Writing upon the abovo subject, would liavo done better if ha had not shewu such an ntimate knowledgo of the manipulation of the night soil, after it is takcu to the depot, because it suggests to one that if he 5s not the contractor, lie may be too cloacly allied to him to write impartially. Now, with respect to my alleged niis-statomeuts. jlle states that one journey only ia made each evening, aud goes further nud says that one only cau bo done from 11 to 6 a.m. Well, all that I cau say is this : that I have knot carts leaving the city with night soil at E a.m., whilst others were at the samo time .coming in—and that less than a month ngo. If further proof is needed, \l hbvo no doubt but that it can bo-:- AtfpplicU. With ' respact ftoif nyr next mis-statement, Ithinkyonr corrcspon. dent has furnished the answer himself. I Mid not say at the abbatoirs, but in close !proximity. Ho states that it is half a-milo from it, so that our statements tlo uot materially differ. Whether the plan of de oderization is perfect or uot I cannot tell, but this I know, that persons living in the neighbourhood have complained, and still {complain of the nuisance, but fear to go (o Haw because ot fie expense, but that ia a Smattcr for them, not for me. At any frato, Inm pleased to loam that the Council fhave called for tenders, aud I trust that if hue price is anything like that at present I paid they will take Step's" to have it done by I their own employe's.—Yours, &c , Pro Bono Pcbuco.

...- »„ uij i /(To,-tlio Editor.) j 0 . ,-„ SIR, —"Citizen's" letter ia worth far more thanifa weight in gold. If valued 'Vy its intimate connection with health, it becomes invaluable.' "Citizen" states that the placo whero the niuht soil ia now deposited is about half a milo from the ab^toirs. " Citizen "- quietly assumes tKatl.no t.wiud can take tho eflluvia half-a-ruilc. He says " the land is first ploughed, then the cavta come with thair loads and spread, it on the land." Connoisseursof meat, take a treat. Within' half-a-mile in spread' weekly abotU £70, cost of crude nndeodorized night soil, of a strength sufficient to manure properly about two acres of land for three years at least. If it is put into a less quantity of landioa tho water shed of the water supply-lovers of pure water weep for yourselves. ••" Citizen " has no tears to Bparotyou.—Yours, &0.-kNotatob..:••; i te*

Slß,—The'conclusions of-yow correspon dent "Pro Bono Publico" are hardly correct. In tho first place, any'correspondence can ha,ve no power to. keep up the present monopoly tor rather contract) made with the City Council, a* it expires at tho end' of tho present year, aud it rests only with the Council to accept another, while doubtless it is s vexing thing to consider that any contractor should make money out of a contract, even if it is in such a dirty business as this one. Yet facts are stubborn things. So long as the contractor was removing the night soil close to the city at Is 6d per box the risk as to deposit was_ the Council's, nod nfter that contract 'expired, as ho had to take all the risk and cost of finding a 'deposit ou his own shoulders, and not being able, at that time to get one nearer than lhe""Whau, resulted in the rate being raised, to which the Council in a three years' contract were consenting par ties ; and if he is bow depositing it else where it is at his own risk and expense. Your correspondent would infer that the price was raised by the contractor, whereas it was a fresh contract. Whatever rates the Council may charge for water-supply to closets, the fact remains that if the proposed new plant is paid for out of the city moneys, all are taxed for the benefit of those who do anfliwho. do. not require the-manure carts. The actual umo.unt paid is immaterial. 'Of course, a man who does his work well and yet makes money can hardly expect to find many graceful people"; but if ho had lost a tot that would be the right thing, and if ho were ruined, still better. —Yours, &c.; Sj.;i IJti! a.iiii '.-<< UJJ/WiM.:

THIS DAY.

0 WILFUL MURDER.' ••■Joe, a nntivo of tho New Hebrides* and jnged 25 years, was arraigned upon an in idictmeut chargiug him with tho wilful murder of Henry Louis Roes, upon tho ;27th ult.

lie signilicd his desire to make a state meiit,aild after the jury had been empanel i led he was given the opportunity. ; Having beon told that he was at liberty ]to speak, do gave the following narration, which Mr Thuraton translated :—

" The commencement of this matter was that somo white inau caino to mo ami ! wanted mo to carry coal and cut wood. 1. refuacd to go with him, and tho white man becameTxngry. He then wanted mo to givo him a ring which I had upon my finger, and which contained a stone in it. 1 ie fused to gire or sell it. The man got very angry, and said that if I would not carry tho coal and cut the wood for him. the Maoris would come and cut my throat for mo, aud that they were already preparing to- come and take me. Ho then repeated his request for tho ring, but I said 'no,' that it was difficult for mo to part with it. ■ I kept it, and went back to Sankey-'s hou.-o. This was before the day on which I attacked Mr Woolcott's boy and killed the white man. A small white lad then came ,to ttic, and said in English, 'Are you a 1 Soloman man ?' I answered, 'No ; I am not, and then the same white man who had wanted me to carry coal and cut wood appeared- again, and said, 'if you arc a Solomon man, go inside.' I went inside, aud ho put me to carrying coal to Mr ; Sankey's. 1 went to Mr Sankey's and then returned for more wood and more coal. Upon one day after this, the daughter of Mr Sankey, who is named Annie, gave me some money in order that I might p.o to a store and buy potatoes. Some children who wore standing under a verandah near Mr Sankey's called to me, and wken I went over to them they said that the Maoris were preparing to cut my hand off with a knife, besides making fun of and teasing me. On tho day on which I murdered the white man in the road Mr Sankey gave me some money to pay for Opal and, wood. When I got to the place and paid for it the same man of whom I ljave already spoken said ' Give me that ring.' He took it off my fiuger and gave : me'three penny pieces for it. When 1 was' leaving the place he again told me that the Maoris would come and kill me. Tttis was the day on which I killed the dead white man. I took back with mo some more wood and coal to Mr Sankey's house. After I had returned I went intoj Mr Sankey's kitchen and began cleaning ■boots. There was grog in the house, and Mr Sailkey poured somo out ami drank it. Some time afterwards Mr Woolcot came in and had some, and then 'innio poured-Some out at Mr Woolcott's directions, who gave it to me saying, 'He would sleep better to-morrow morning — after this.'—Shortly after this the daughter of Mr Sankey, who is named Annie, came into the kitchen when I was engaged iii washing plates, and catching me by both, hands began dancing me round aud making' fun of mo at the same time. Before even ing came on a young, woman, named Diana, and Gibson Woolcott, came^into the kitchen with a book, out of which they commenced to read to .me. They told me that it was said in fho book that Joe was going to'a place burning vritb lire (meaning hell),- -The boy Gibson and the young wo inau Diuna also read in tho book that Joe was no good; that the Fijtans were no gooil.andthat the Kokc (Native Stipendiary Magistrate) of the Ba river was no good. Tho lad Gibson also made great fun of mo out'of this book.- When ovening came my evil passion? were aroused and! was angry with the whole of them. II was'in consc; quenco of this and the fun made of me by the yonng woman named Diana ; that I took the axe and went into the room wherein the boys were who had likewise made fun of mo. I then committed the assault with the axe, catting Gib son Woolcott down. I did this so that if I was going to bo killed by the white men or Maoris I sbonld have one of tbora first. Therefore, I cut young Woolcott. -It was this, combined with tbo ill-feeling which Mr Woolcott had towards me, the carrying of wood and coal and tho grop, that made me commit the deed. After Gibson Wool cott fell I saw that he had not been killed, >I therofore determined to e,o and seek another white man and kill him instead. I went along the main road until I came across a man, whom I cut down and killed with the axe. I remained till I saw that he was dead. This (the murder) I did because I knew I should be killed myself; I cut the man three times with the axe. He fell at tho first blow and never spoke nor cried out. I then went along the road to the house in which I was found next morning. ' I was in the house before -the aged white woman camo there to wash. When she entered she said to me, " Good morning," in English. By-and-byc she ' 'gave me a chair in order that I might sit down. ' '.;: i His Honor said that he did not care to -hear-the statement about what had hap pened at Mr Melville's place. Tho confos sion made by the prisoner was somewhat in formal, and proof would be required that the body referred to as having been left upon the road was that of Rees. Crown Prosecutor: There is the little ■ 'daughter of the deceased. Mr Stone also can'give evidence to the effect that when tuoiprispuer was being conveyed into town he pointed to a pool of blood on the road, and said that it was there he killed the Jt'was then agreed that the evidenca of identification should be taken, and at the direction of tho judge, the prisoner was in formed that if •he had told all that he had to s:vy abont tho killing of the white man in the road, he had better not say anything more at that time. Mr C. B. Stone and Sergeant Clark were then examined with reference to the identi fication of the body found on the New North Uoad. ■ This being tho caxc, His Honor, sum. : nied up as follows :—" This case has takeu a very strange turn. The prisoner ' has pleaded guilty, but I thought it better that his confession should bo repeated fo a jury. You have heard what 1> he! h-M said, and there is no question > whatever that there is legal proof ' before yon of the offence charged in the i indictment. Of course what strikes you must strike everybody, that is, that the motives assigned by him for these bloody

acts are altogether childish and inadequate. They also reveal a mind that is certainly not oE average human capacity ; but the law is this that it makes no distiuctun
