Goodrich showed US, few days since, two
pieces of gold coin, taken from the gizzard of 9
chicken. One was $2K piece. The $5 piece
is worn so smooth that its date and denomina-
ton can only be discovered by heating, and is
now worth only 1915 by weight A poor wild.

Coo1 ANswER.-A very cool answer from a
sophomore is indelibly recorded among the mem
cries of IS college days:
Professor - had a peculiarly red nose SO
red indeed, that it was usually deemed sign
that the interior of tho temple was dedicated to
Baochus. Upon this point the Professor was
peculiarly sensitive.

AN ARIsTooRATIo ORGAN GRINDER.-About
fire years ago Count Bulinskeff, Russian noble
man, was accused of political crimes An e.
dict was issued confiscating his estates and con-
signing him and his family to Siberia. The
Count heard of it before it was too late, and sue
ceeded in embarking, with his wife and daught-
er, on board of brig bound for the United
States In the hurry Of their fight thf bthf few
vaIuables, which barely sufflcsd to pay for their
passage. They landed in New York oity PEN
niless and friendless. How they got along alter
wards, and finally wound up with the biggest
sort of fortune, we prefer to let a New York
contemporary tell it in its own way:
In this predicament the Count bethought OF
turning the musical talents of his family to ac-
count. He procured an organ for himself, vi
olin for his wife, and tambourine for his
daughter by pawning portions of their clothing.
The trio went out singing and playing from
door to door, and their aristocratc manner,
which even their humble occupation but lily
disgai procured for them much more liberal
| support than is usually given to ltnarant musl-
| Clans Their gains were SO considerable that III
| the space Of four years they had laid by money
sufficient to purchase house for $l2,OoO III the
Sixteenth Ward, and two weeks ago signed the
title deeds in the office of lawyer In this city
| By the last mail the Count received despatcnes
according him full pardon, with the restora,
| ton of his estates. Next week the Count VIII
| revisit his native land, taking with him, hoWev-
er. his musical companions in adversely. 1nis

CURIOUS LAW CAsE.-The Circuit Court was
occupied the whole of yesterday in prelimios-
ry trial of the case of the Commonwealth vs.
Andrew Montero and J. G.. Raine charged with
exhibiting faro The facts in the case are these:
1t appears that at the June term OF the Circuit
Court in 1857, the Grand Jury indicted the two
men above named for exhibiting faro. Both of
them absented themselves soon after and the
officers have not succeeded until now in serving
the necessary process on them. On yesterday
they appeared in Court and made application
through counsel to have the indictment quashed
on the ground that Roderick MCGOWAN, one of
the Grand Jurors making the presentment, was
not citizen of the United States, and therefore,
the proceeding was illegal. They allege that
MCGOWAN, who is an Irishman by birth, filed
his declaration of intention to become citizen
in Court of North Carolina. in the name of
Roger McGowan, and his final naturalization
papers were made out in our Husting Court tor
the same person, while there is nothing to prove
that Roderick McGowan, whose name is ap-
pended to the Indictment, is an American citi-
gen.. In answer to questions propounded by the
Court and counsel, MCGOWAN stated that he was
in the habit of answering to the names of RO-
ger, Rhody, and Roderick, and would have hon.
ored draft drawn on either.
About this time, ''Rhody," as he is affection
ately and famliarly styled BY his more intimate
questions, which SC confounded and befhSdlsd :,
bis brain that he wound up by aa,;-h 10 .sap,e.
s'did'nt know his own name;n he believed
had ssnone st all" and would be under lasting
obligations to his honor if he would give him
one by which he might be known in all fntufe
time. He intimated that it was exceedingly IN
pleasant to be bothered" for want of an ''entite-
ment,n and he trusted all future difficulty in thst
regard would be obviated by the Court bestow-
ing one that would stand the test of the law
said he appreciated that gentleman's delicate
position; it would afford him great pleasure to
accede to his wishes, but being the owner of q 4
single name himself, it was out of his power to
relieve him as desired. The case was hnaily SUD-
nitted to the jury at late hour in the evening,
and verdict was soon rendered sustaining the
original indictment, thus declaring that Rhody,
Roderick or Roger MCGOWAN is q bona tide free
aud enlightened citizen OF Uncle Sans Star
Spangled Banner Republic. The parties In
dcted will be tried during the present term OF
Court.-Lgnch6urg Var. j.

SPEED OF TIE ToRNADo.-The Chic
ago Press thus alludes to the speed Of
the late tornado y
/ When the work Of destruction COM
menced in the vicinity Of Fort Dodge,
the time noted was 4 o'clock, and Ca
manche was destroyed about 7 o'clock
P. NJ. The distance between The two
points is 200 miles hence the tornado
progressed at the rate of 66 miles an
hour. With the probable rapidity Of
the circular motion of the air, coniec-
.ture is busy. . MIR. Red6eld, the mete-
orologist, is Of the opinion that whirl-
winds never attain a velocity on their
own axis Of more than 800 miles an
hour-something more than the, veloci-
ty Of cannon ball fired by full
charge and il is not likely that, in the
tornado that engages our attention,
Mr.. RS rnaximum was exceeded sif it
was reached. But the blowing of cedar
shingles through the side Of . house,
the forcing of pine chips into an oak
tree so solidly that they could noFsbe
pulled out by the fingers, and the
wringing off Of chickens heads, by the
force of the wind alone, show that the
air must have had q momentum aim ost
equal to that Of musket bullet.

STRONG TALK.--Hunter, Of Louisiana, made
an awful speech, at Baltimore, few evenings
since. He said there were members of the
Committee on Credentials who should not
cross his threshold; lady of the family
should not speak to them. They were without
honor or decency. The Douglas men had
Dragged continually, and in Dragging lied,
and they knew they lied: They talked Of
Douglas carrying the South. The Louisiana
delegation would bet a million OF dollars that
Douglas couldn't carry one Southern State.
He dared Douglas men to bet. He said
Douglas and his followers were bankrupts in
pocket and in principles; that they were
profigates and imposters,' and their masks
should be- torn from them, and their black
deformity exposed. He spoke Of fighting
and his readiness for it. IL 11 sa II

The Baltimore Convention takes
ft- to FiStiCuffS. HE

The bad blood accumulating ever since ias
April in the Democratic camp is coming out
at length, in blows. Judge Randall is one o.
the leading Administration Democrats o.
Pennsylvania, and we presume his sons follow
his lead. Mr.. Montgomery is the leader o1
the Douglas forces in that State. Mr.. Randall
calls Montgomery a liar in the Convention
Mr.. Montgomery responds in similar style
A general row ensues, in which everybody
calls somebody liar, and more truth is told
than in all the rest of the sitting Of the Con-
vention. After adjournment, Robert Randall
(whether the same who had the quarrel inside
or not the telegraph does not inform us) hits
Montgomery o blow, which Montgomery
returns by knocking Randall down. IL
While the ostensible cause Of this quarrel
has been some misunderstanding about the
tickets, yet tits manifest that the real difficulty
lies deeper, and originates in the great feud Of
the party. At least four other difficulties Of
this nature have taken place. In one Of them,
between Messrs. Whitley and Townsend, Of
Delaware, the parties clinched desperately,
Townsend getting Whitley down, and the
police had to separate them. -.
1t is now Friday, and nothing definite has
yet been heard from the Convention. The
most probable dsnsuement to our minds seems
to be that, as at Charleston, the hostile
elements will refuse to mix, and that, in very
despair of doing anything else, the majority
faction will, with blind rush, nominate
Douglas, adopt the non-committal platform,
and retreat home as soon as possible. The
result will then be fourth ticket in the field,
and perhaps fifth, and, in that event, Douglas
will not receive the electoral votes of five
States in the Union.-Daily, 23d. 50.
