count of the United States, lot of hospital or

meurnfnl reflections. 1t spoke of pale faces and
bleeding forms it spoke of suffering and anguish j;
it spoke of battle and carnage-of defeat and VIC
tory 1t spoke of hunger and thirst and e1hans-

hearts-of vacant seats and mourning homes; it
spoke of firled banners and shattered lances, and

A Remarkable Nan. 1s' 7s''a a' 80
The Dublin correspondent Of the London Timer
makes a curious statement in regard to Arthur
McMurrough Kayanagh, recently elected to repre-
sent an Irish borough in the English Parliament.
He has neither legs nor arms, was born in this un-
finished fashion, and in place Of legs he has about
six inches Of muscular thigh stumps, one being
about an inch shorter than its fellow; while his
arms are dwarfed to perhaps four inches of the
upper portion Of these members, and these are un-
furnished with any terminations approaching in
the remote.t degree the form Of hands. Yet he is
beautiful caligraphist, q dashing huntswan, and
artistic draflsman an unerring shot, and the most
expert of yatchmen-a combination of accomplish
ment, under. the circumstances of his corporeal
imperfections, that is certainly astonishing. He
is about forty years of age, handsome and manly,
with o large family His mind is full, capacious
and we'll developed. ~
Extraordinary Story.
A correspondent of the Louisville Journal, wri-
ting from Carter County, Tennessee, relates tho
particulars of terrible fued that has been raging
for twenty years between two families of that
county; and whieh. he declares has caused che
deaths Of fourteen members Of the respective
families Our exchanges generally give circula-
ton to- this remarkable story, butwe are compelled
TO- doubt the authenticity of the facts ~ narrated
For instance, the fcud began. in, the fall of l846,
according TO this modern Munchausen, and has
thus lasted for twenty years. A member OF one
family, who was not enjoying life upon this mum
dane sphere ut the time of the first difficulty, be-
comes middle-aged man before his time came
"to shuttle off this mortal cci in obedience ito
the particulars Of this pathetic narrative. After
his death, the feud s'went on for years." first one
and then the other family losing member, 'until
the war intervensd,. (. and since the cessation Of
hostilities the two last surviving representatives
Of the belligerent families engaged in mortal com
bat, and like the Kilkenny cats, literally devoured
each other! The reader win perceive, from this
BRIEF statement, that period, of at least forty
years must have elapsed 10 accomplish the horri-
bic details Of this bloody drama, Yet, We are ex-
pected to believe that only twenty years was re-
quired to make one of the actor's q middle-aged
man, and bring into the feud his third or fourth
generation Verify, this is too much for our
erednliiy, and we regret that respectable cotem-
poraries furnish to the public such disgusting so-
