Two MEN WITHOUT LEGS RUN A
RACE.-The most novel race Of the seas
on--a "foot race between two legless
men-came off on the Carthage fair
grounds on Saturday afternoon last.
The contestants were VIM. Quillan and
Isaac Reynolds, both citizens of Coving
ton, tobaoconists by trade. Mr.. Quillan
lost leg in an accident on the Kentcky
Central railroad several years ago. He
was afterwards thrown from horse and
had the remaining leg fractured, result
ing finally in its being amputated. Rey-
nolds lost both of his legs in an accident
on the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton
railroad. Both of them parted with their
legs close up to the body. They swing
themselves along by their hands, having
handles of wood to strike the ground with.
Quillan is powerful built man, twenty
two or three years of age. His arms and
shoulders display immense muscle, but he
hrd too much weight to successfully com
pete with his more nimble rival. Quill
lan's weight at present is 120 pounds
He had trained down about twenty pounds
Reynolds weight is but 80 pounds. He
is of light build, with slight arms tba
make no display of muscle to speak of
yet he is very strong, and active as cat
When he gets out of buggy he perehe'
upon the wheel, then leaps far out OF
the ground, striking on his hands, H'
is ready to bet that he can 60 up or down
stairs faster than any man with legs
Each of the men have the lower part OF
the body protected by leather recepta
Gle, which is fitted to it and secured b.
straps.
The distance abound the Carthag
track is three -fourths of a mile. Th
men kept near together until they wer'
within forty rods of the stand, ,swhen Rey
nolds shot ahead of his com petitor 81
easily that the latter gave UP the race

It is rumored that the French government
will exert it, influence in favor Of elevating
the Bishop Of Orleans to the Papal throne
sitter the death of Plus the Ninth. Perhaps no
prelate would prove more capable successor
than Bishop Dupanloup OF the greatest Popes
who have illustrated the annals of the Catholic
Church. To piety and profound learning he
adds q genius for administration and a
thorough knowledge Of the pen, events and
tendencies of this revolutionary age. A
Savoyard by birth, but naturalized in 1888,
he was educated at Paris and Is now sixty-6ve
years of age. Friend and confessor Of Talley-
rand during the last illness of that master of
diplomacy, catechist Of the young Orleans
princes, popular pulpit orator, Superior Of
the Paris Seminary, Vicar General Of Paris,
Professor of Sacred Eoquence at the Sorbonne,
Titulary Canon of Notre Dame, Bishop of Or
leans, Knight Of the Legion Of Honor and
member Of the French Academy, Dupanloup
has been specially distinguished for his zeal In
behalf Of public education, and his writings on
that subject, together with the activity and
energy displayed by him in his diocese, have
made him famous and influential throughout
France and the rest Of Europe.
But the rumor that points to him a. the
probable successor OF Plus the Ninth Is very
questionable There has been no Pope Of
foreign birth since Adrian the Sixth, who was
native Of Utrecht. For nearly three hundred
and hfIy years it has been . well understood
condition that the Pope should be an Italian,
inasmuch AZ temporal and ecclesiastical powers
are united in his person. II Is customary,
moreover, that he should be Cardinal. He
10 elected by the Cardinals, a two-thirds vote
being requisite. II is not likely that the Car
dinals viii deviate from their line Of prece-
dents in order to crafty any European Power.
Besides, Che Italian people, who reluctantly
enough let Pho Mono hold both the keys and
the sword. would unanimously protect against
transferring those emblems Of authority to
foreign prelate. II lie the last feather that
breaks the camel's back, and the patience Of
the Italians might fairly give way at such
transfer Their cry might be =" No Pope at
all in Rome, rather than have foreigner Tor

II may have been intended TO give to that
cousin, one Of these days, Al least as much OF a
chance Of becoming Pope as Napoleon the
First gave to his uncle, Joseph Fesch, when he
had him created a Cardinal. A Pope would be
convenient to have in the family of an Empe-
ror who has not yet been crowned. Lucien
Bonaparte, Prince de Canino's son. was born
at Rome in 1923, and consequently, If he were
q Cardinal a. we'll as a native Of Italy, he
might be considered by the Italians eligible as
the Pope's successor.

The copperhead organ is Of opinion that
this "fracas with Stanton" may be a mere
"makeshift to divert public attention while
the President backs out Of his threat to remove

dare not leave it alone, and he kicks up all

Even the little fellow whose natural post il
on the fence has had the courage to jump down

The Surrats Case.


Disagreement of the jury seems to be fore
gone conclusion in the Surratt case. No YER
dict for thirty-six hours gives ominous indl-
cations. II jurors cannot decide on common
verdict in thirty-six hours there are very
positive objections somewhere, no doubt, and
it is hardly probable that in the present case
the DIRECTORS will be Of the kind to give way.
It would be strange II the jury could hold any
definite line Of reason with Judge Fishers
charge, tho last thing committed to their memo
ries That charge would be difficult to charac-
terize 1t began with harangue ON tho pro-
priety of capital punishment-which seemed to
assume that II was not the prisoners guilt that
was in question, but only whether he should be
hanged or whether the sentimentalism " that
Opposes capital punishment should have its
way and save his life. We need not dwell on
the glaring improperly ofmooting such point
to the jury that had yet to determine the mans
status before the law. Following this harangue
on capital punishment came another in equally
bad taste on the wickedness Of the rebellion,
the Judge evidently desiring to fortify the
Unionism as we'll as the hanging purposes Of
the jury before taking up the prisoners case.
The charge then discussed the Supreme Court
decision on the Milligan court martial, in con-
nection with which it took up the general
principles Of the constitution of the United
States, and having gone into some detail
closed with these words:-"But with this mill
tary commission, gentlemen, you have no con-
Germ at this time" Having wakened up to this
fact, the Judge next entered on Surratt's case,
and charged the jury as to its duty if the evil
dence had produced on the minds Of the mem
bers "a moral conviction" Of the prisoners
participation in the murder or any Of the acts
that led to it, instructed them as to the legal
value of an alibi, &c. AS if the foregoing were
not enough curiosities to furnish q single
charge, some very novel citations of cases were
made, such as q case from the Book Of Kings
a good book, no doubt, but not often quoted as
an authority on criminal jurisprudence.
