A REMARKABLE CHILD The, Rockville (Md.)
Journal several days ago gave an account of a re-
markable child with whiskers. The Journal of
Friday last, after stating that its truth had been
questioned, says:
Although we have not seen this wonderful pro-
Dizzy, we can vouch for the truth of our statement
from the facts we have gathered from respectable
gentlemen who have seen it, as well as the at
tending ply stefan. Instead of exaggeration in
the description given us, we fell far short Of the
real truth The child, which is now four weeks
old, healthy, and likely to live, has not only whs-
kers on both sides Of its face, nearly meeting
under the chin, and as long and as thick as any
dandy would be proud of having, but its forehead,
back, shoulders, AMI breast are completely coated
with hair as thick as lambs wool. As remark
able as this may seem, the facts are as we have
stated them. The child is to be christened Esau
Bushrod.

= MAILS Us ExPREssEs.--We understand, saws

General has transmitted to this city orders to
prosecute the opposition letter-carriers from this
city, las is, perhaps, his duly) and TO sue them
on as many different letters as possible, holding
them to heavy bail on each We hope we are
misinforned on this point. The opposition car
riers contest that construction Of the Constitution
which makes the power of the Government 10
run Mails exclusive and prohibitory, and they
challenge legal decision of the question they
raise. The point is certainly not so clear as to
render their assumption absurd, and there is no
valid excuse for being oppressive in the prem
Ises, espec ally when il is considered that the
Government is ever ready to make cost for other
peope, but never pays the cost to which it un-
Justly subjects those il sues.

THE BUDE LIeHT.--For the last six years, the
Bude Light has been much used in London and
in the Liverpool Albion of the Sth -Illtimo now
before us, we observe that Bude Lights have
been placed at the st. Georges Dock, Princes
Dock, and Princes Bridge, at that port. The
Albion says: "By its vivid glare it has COM
pletely eclipsed and rendered useless the adjacent
gas lights, and been of essential service to the
numbers of small craft which leave and enter
the Princes Dock Basin in the night time" By
the way we should like to see lights Of this
kind at suitable points in Philadelphia ex-
ample, at the Examinations Of the great lines Of
travel. The subject deserves the attention OF
our scientific Philadelphia Inquirer. ~

From the National Intellipencer.l

We are requested to call the attention of THE
WING Press to subject deemed of great practi-
cal importance for the pending Presidential cam
paign, viz: That the press should urge upon all
those who have occasion to give the names of
prominent political men to the public, that they
should always give their post Offices, for the pur-
poses of correspondence and to open the way for
the circulation of documents. For example, we
had last summer the names Of gentlemen consti-
tuting the Georgia Wing State Convention, and
the counties they represented, but not one of
their respective post Offices was given Such
cases are constantly occurring. This fact is a
distressing evil to those engaged in political cor
respondence, and in circulating political docu-
ments. 1t causes an immense abatement of the
good that might be done, if their post offices
were announced with their names Let the
press every where hammer this thought into the
heads of all whom it may concern

HARRY DANIEL.

This man abandoned the Locofocos and Joined
the Wings in 1882. At that time he put forth
circular, wherein he denounced, in the fiercest
and most vituperalive language he could com
mand, the whole Locofoco party in general and
Mr.. Van Buren, in particular. The Lexington
Wing Banner republishes that circular. In it
the writer says, among other things equally
strong: 81 believe the elevation of Martin Van
buren, would have a greater and more direct
tendency to destroy the republican principles Of
the Government than that of any other man in
the United States" And now this same Daniel,
TO his shame and infamy be it spoken, is the
Van Buren, candidate for the office of elector in
the very district to whose citizens he addressed
his circular of 1882. HIS cheek must be as in
capable of blushing as that Of gorgon face upon
door-knocker.
Mr. Daniel, we understand, now says that he
was always at heart Locofoco and Van Bu-
rem man, and that he went into the ranks of the
Wings and professed to be one OF them for no
other purpose than to learn their ways So as to
be able to fight them the more successfully. If
his own account of himself is true, he is, beyond
all question, the vilest wretch in Kentucky.
There are few gangs of thieves that would not
Indignantly kick such miscreant out of their
company. Any man, that would shake such
felon's hand, would handle carrion and think it
