than ten thousand In 1858. the number

sus, were 1850 they must be more nu-
merous now, and their roll is continually
Increasing Already they equal the popu-
lation of two average townships. If they
were placed in line. two abreast, they
would form procession two and a half
miles long, that would reach from the Bat
terry to above Union square Of all this
ghastly army, one half are under twenty
years of age. The average duration Of an
abandoned woman's life, after she yields
herself to her horrid trade, is just four
years Il emily requires that brief space
Of earousel and champagne. TevelFy and
rum, TO reduce beautiful girl, fresh from
the country, into a loalhsome mass Of dis
ease, ready for the paupeF's grave.
In addition to the ten thousand prosti-
tutes, there are probably twenty thousand
more whoare either kept mistresses," or
the occasional freeueniers Of houses Of as

Such q. Cabbage.

This morning Baxter, surnamed Richard,
entered the sanctum with most tremendi-
Gus cabbage, sent to the Brick" by that
good fellow, John Norris, baggage master
on the Milw aukee q ia Crosse railway. It
was a perfect Colossus among cabbages,
and evidently grew in a forty-acre field by
ITSELF and probably if II could have had
growing weather few months longer, it
would have covered the entire forty-acres.
We have been specializing what we
should do with it, and have come 10 tie
conclusion to pickle quarter of it, if we
can find barrels enough, save another
quarter for the winter supply of cut cab
bage with our oysters, reserve the third
quarter to cook with corn beef for the next
twelve months, and donate the last quarter
to certain ignorant and brainless La Crosse
Republicans, to fill up the vacuum in their
upper stories, and leave them furnished
with cheap substitute for brains.-Lo

The Toughest Snake Story We Ever
Heard.

The Fort Wayne (Ind.) Democrat, of
the 18th inst, says: We are informed by
a conductor on the Pittsburg. Fort Wayne
g. Chicago railroad, of most remarkable
freak Of nature A married lady, living
four miles north Of Crestline, lately gave
birth to a pair Of twins, the upper part Of
whose bodies resemble snakes one that of
the copperhead, the other common black
snake. From their waist up it is snake
like they have no arms, nothing to indi-
cate the human, while from the waist down
the organization is perfectly natural At
ter the children were born, and being shown
to the poor mother, she begged that an end
might be put 10 their existence, and was
so al, c.ed that she became deranged. and
is now an inmate of the insane asylum
Our informant also States that the twins,
although but few months old, crawl
around the floor, hiss and strike at each
other with their fsngs, fighting like two
snakes every time they come together
We do rot vouch for the truth Of the
above, but give il as it was told to US by
Mr.. Allen Crawford, a conductor running
on a freight train between this place and
Crestline, and We have every reason to be-
lieve Mr.. Crawford is a reliable and trust
worthy gentleman. The mother Of these
extraordinary beings, prior TO their birth,
got frightened at the sight Of two snakes
