"THE CONNECTING LINK. ."-Barnum's gorilla
is, it would seem, most dangerous, formidable
and powerful biped. His keeper is compelled
to mount guard near his cage constantly, in or
der TO warn visitors to maintain a respectful dis
tance from his elongated arms. Shortly after he
had been installed in his new lookup, the
imal took advantage of the incautious proximity
OF his keeper, to seize him by the arm, which he
would have wrenched from the socket, SO great
is his strength, had not the keeper suddenly
dropped to the floor, thus leaving the man mon
key with only the coat, which he at once tore
into thousand shreds This gorilla stands
over FIVE feet high, and Isl for prudential reasons,
attached to a chain with a resistant power equal
to six thousand pounds, SO formidable is his
muscular strength. 1t is said that Barnum paid
eight thousand dollars for the beast in Africa and
that in appearance it presents far nearer ap-
proach to the human animal than any specimen
of the smous tribe ever seen in this country

A WESTERN LADY GoDIvA.-At the South Pew
ablo mines, Lake Superior, man and his wife
had quarrel, resulting in his packing his bum
die and starting off for Ontonagon, declaring
that he would live with her no longer. She fol-
lowed him along the road, begging him to re-
turn but he was inexorable, and trudged on.
Finally she became exasperated that she VOW
ed if he did not turn about she would strip her.
self stark naked and in that condition follow
him to his journeys end. AS he did not stop,
she was as good as her word and leaving her
clothing by the roadside, she followed him in
that cool, fascinating costume of nature. This
only made him laugh. When they came to the
intersection of the road they were surprised
with meeting party of young men who had
been out fishing, and then the husband began to
think that the wife's costume was not exactly
the kind prescribed by court etiquette, and cut
ting stout switch, he started her back
very keen run, not allowing her to stop and
gather her clothes. Our informant says she
made splendid time in going from the clearing to
the house, probably because she was not incon-
venienced by extra clothing. Since then both
parties have indefinitely postponed their trip to
Ontonagon.

ARnA1exxEsr OF ANDREW JOHNSON. = Maj

ARRAIGNMENr OF ANDREW JOHNSON. = Major
General Logan delivered long and vigorous
speech at Hamilton, Ohio, recently, in which he
arraigned the Democracy for their crimes and
infamy, and said of Andrew Johnson
Tell me to-day if you had Jeff. Davis in the
Presidential chair, or Mr.. Robert E. Lee, could
they have done more for the rebels in this land
than Andrew Johnson has since he has been
President? If they could, would like to know
in what way they could have done it. If JEFF.
Davis had been President, what would he have
done? He would have returned all the property
to the rebels that they had lost. Andrew john
son has done that. If jeff. Davis had been Pres
ident he would have pardoned all the rebels that
asked him for pardon. Andrew johnson has
done that and more too. If JEFF Davis had been
President he would have denounced this Con-
gress, and called them set of traitors. Andrew
johnson has done that. If JEFF. Davis had been
President he would have appointed rebel Gov
ernors down South to control those States. An
drew johnson did the same thing. If jeff Da-
Wis had been President he would have vetoed
the Freedmen's Bureau bill. Andrew Johnson
did that. He would have vetoed the first re-
construction act of Congress, and all the other
acts, which Andrew Johnson has done.

How to Punish . wom.n.

ST. Michael and Lucfer meeting one day tA
Fei INTO an angry dispute Sc 1sstHe7 t13t
1hougn they argued the case In as civil way
AS II 'twere chancery suit.
The matter in question-no trivial game r % e
lis plausible story, at least,) sA. 1H-
Was, which Of the two had the rightfulest claim
10 lady quite lately deceased.
woman Of fashion, who standing aloof sis 81
Looked on with o sorrowful face
While the rival attorneys. by balance of proof
Were trying to settle the case
With huge pair Of scales the trial begins 4!
But her virtues are many and great
And fairly outpoise oil the follies AMI sins
That serve as the opposite weight
st. Michael, delighted at winning the prize,
Laughed out in the merriest way;
"Nay tarry momentp' Sir Lucfer cries,
''Just look at this bundle, pray"
" Be pleased to examine these changes Of dress,
The dame accustomed to wear; ti.
Ten sumptuous gowns, you'd fairly confess,
Were more than her iadyship's share I"
"I scarce understand you," his reverence said,
Unwilling to have it appear
That q notion had entered his head
Pertaining to feminine gear
"Of COURSE" said the end, "you modest, know
That weakness is one Of my own
Yet see what the matron has lavishod, for show,
In costly apparel alone.
"The half of this fnery, wasted in pride,
Would have decenty covered and fed
score OF the neghbors who sckened and died
For lack Of mere clothing and bread" r
Then into the balance, along with tho sins,
The ponderous budget he cast;
The virtues go up and Lucifer wins
st. Michael is beaten at last --s ,r..
" Alas !" said the Saint, "I must fairly allow
The woman greatly to blame
In this matter Of raiment-but pray tell me how
You mean to dispose Of the dame!"
"why thus" said the fend, with comical frown:
"Do you fancy the penalty small
Let her have, every morning, another new gown,
And think herself ugly in all.'
"Most exquisite torturer." Michael exclams,
81 see that your reverence knows
(Quoth Lucifer laughing,) much more about danes
Than you're willing to have us suppose
"Go to-" well, I'm rather reluctant to name
The region from whence he had come
Twas hardly civil, aud yet twas the same

HORRIBLE. - The State Rights Democrat has
been informed that lady living near Dayton,
Yamhill county, Oregon, while walking along
the road from her house to that of neighbours, 8,
was suddenly confronted by strange man, who,
with one blow, knocked her down, from the ef-
fects of which she tainted. The brute, after Vi
oating her person, made good his escape, and
all search for him has been fruitless. The lady
was found shortly after the deed was committed
still lying where the rufian had left her. and af-
ter repeated efforts they succeeded in restoring
animation and life to her system, but horrible
to relate, her reason had flown! And she still
remained, at last accounts, a hopeless maniac

twenty miles per hour, including stoppages-
which is, perhaps, the average rate on railroads

The farm contains about seven hundred
