The four-legged Tennessee child has
been scientifically examined by Drs. Jo-
seph Jones and Paul f. Eve, Professors
in the Nashville Medical University
They report that the head and trunk of
the child are those of healthy, we'll
developed infant of five weeks; while the
lower portion of its body is divided into
the members Of two distinct individuals.
They think that the lower portion of the
spinal column is cleft, and that there are
two pelvic arches supporting the four
limbs, which are situated upon the same
plane, and close their report with the ex-
preston that, in its curious manifestation
of the powers OF nature in abnormal pro.

sity exceeds the Siamese Twins. 10
Wheeling, w. Va, they have calf with
eight legs, one head, two bodies, and three

The Borer in Peach Trees,

A writer in the Southern Ptamte says:
81 once heard of a lady whose husband had
plantede peach orchard with view of
making brandy.-She feared that he might
become drunkarG and determined to Kill
his trees. To effect this, she secretly posNcdi
scalding water around the roots, and to her
great surprise The trees did not die, but pro.
duced an ertra crop Of peaches. The scald-
ing water killed the worms, but was not
sufficient to kill the trees. AT first adopted
this practice very cautiously, but now without
fear pursue it. Early each spring, scrape
around the trees with a large knife on the
morning of washing-day. When The wash
ing is done, take bucket foil of boiling
suds INTO the orchard, and dash the treea
just where the trunks join the ground. In
this way thousands Of little worms are scald-
ed to death. Lastly, apply unleached
ashes to the trees. After an experience of
several years, confidently recommend this
Practice"

Bridal Tests

How thankful our swell-educatcd' young
ladies OF this day must feel that they do not
live among such a half.civilized people as
the HISTORIANS must be, from the following
account Of onc oftheir wedding customs:
After the marriage ceremony has been
performed, the wedding party is taken in
wagons from the church to the house of the
bridegroom's parents. When the second
wagon, in which the bride is seated alone,
reaches the gate opening into the yard in
which the house is situated, it is halted, and
the bridegroom's mother comes to meet it,
with baby and three suits of baby clothes
in her arms. She throws the child and the
clothes into the arms Of the bride, who is re-
quired to undress and dress the baby three
times in the presence Of her mother-in. la W,
who watches every movement as only a
mother-in-law can watch daughter-ln-la law.
If the newly-uade bride does not perform
the operation 10 the satisfaction other severe
Judge, she is considered unfit for her new
position, the wagon is turned around, and
she is ia ken back home for further instruc-
ton, and the poor bridegroom is compelled
to live in single blcsscdness until his wife,
is educated up to the proper standard.

Newspaper Power.

''Thirty years ago." says. Wakes Spirit ,
"the Senators ruled America !; to day it's
ruled by the editors" 1t adds: "Thcre
is class of men among bankers and mer-
chants and lawyers who effect condo
scension toward the journalist which is
intensely amusing. The writer for the
newspaper appears to their blinking eyes
a kind of literary advcnturer, who is to
be tolerated for his genius, but not to
be trusted in business. They arc ignor-
ant that he sells their goods, furnishes
all their facts, and presents them gratui-
tously with opinions. They do not
know, as Jay Cooke does, that the news
papers of America hold two thousand mil
lions of national bonds. They do not
know, as Edwin NJ. Stanton knows, that
the newspapers of America sent five hun
drcd thousand men to the war. They do
not know that the newspapers of Ameri-

Grasshopper Plague in Kansas and Iowa.

ufdSSnOpp6r Plague In Kansas and Iowa.
a letter TO the Chicago " Republican" >"
from Muscatinc, Iowa, says;--
In the last three or four years, the
grasshoppers have travelled from New
Mexico and Utah, destroying vegetation
and crops, to the Dcs Moines river, tho
skirmish line of tho grand army being
now established on the banks of the Mis-
sissippi. If you take down the map.
and run an air line from Chicago to the
point joining Utah and New Mexico, it
will be on the line of march of the " grass
hopper" army, from where their rayages
were first noted to this place A rule:
laid on the line will cover their probable
area of destruction till they shall hayos
been drowned in the lakes.
"Thcir ravages in Kansas two years
ago were fearful. Last year they COM
mltted great destruction in Nebraska.
and IN Southwestern Iowa, but were not
as numerous as they had been in Kansas.
This year they have done their chief bad
work In the counties west of the Des
Moines to above Fort Dodge, and extend.
ing southwardly to the Missouri river.
In that parallelogram there have been
more grasshoppers, this year, than ten,
men could count, were each man to live
to be as old as Mcthuselah. In some
places they have dcvoured whole fields of
grain, leaving them look as though thew
had been burned. Vast extents of grass
and weeds have been consumed by them.
But from all accounts, judge they have
not anywhere in Iowa gobbled up every
thing as they did in not few local
ities in Kentucky"

Under this caption, the Columbus
correspondent of the Cleveland Leader,
Of last Wednesday, gives the following
item of legislative news:
One hundred and forty citizens of
Lorain county were summarily kicked
out Of the House this morning, and for
the first time in the history of Ohio,
her citizens were denied the right of
p~etitioning their General Assembly
Mr.. Dickson, of Lorain, presented the
following petition:
"To The Members Of the Legislature Of tie
State Of Ohio:
1--WE, the undersigned citizens of
Lorain county, would respectfully ask
your body to adjourn for your country's
good and the credit Of our State.
"WELLINGToN, May ID, 1863"
Such a shell as this had not before
fallen in the midst of the State De-
batting Society, and the fight ragged
throughout the forenoon. The petition
was at first received and referred to the
Committee On Retrenchment. The
reference was then reconsidered by a
strict party vote. A motion refusing
to receive the petition followed and
was agreed to. During the warm
debate the people of the Reserve were
fercely attacked and abused by Messrs.
Hill, of Defiance, Callen, Ball and
Baker. Their attacks were met by
Messrs. Dickson, Pond, Scott, of War
rem, and others. One milk-and-water
Republican-Mr. LeWton,o of HARRISON

DISTINGUISHING LegIsIas

The bill DISTINGUISHING the inmates of
the National Soldiers Home at Dayton
has passed the State Senate and is now a
law. These soldiers are citizens of Ohio
and mean to reside in Ohio all their lives.
They have fought for the nation, and been
wounded in its service, and if any men ev-
er earned the right to vote in this repub-
lie it Is those who have shed their blood
in its preservation. But, with q ine in
stinct Of fitness, this Democratic legisla~
ture has discovered that these men, having
proven themselves patriots, will of course
vote the Republican ticket, and, part
ly for this reason, partly because
of a natural Copperha1 hate against
all Of "Lincoln's hirelings, they have dis
franchised these heroes and martyrs ofthe
wal for the Union. This illustrates DEM
Ocratic love for the soldier. While these
Union soldiers are dHfranchised for the
crime of having fought for the Union,
andupon nc iustifable pretext whatever =,
any rebel soldier who has gained a resi-
dence in Ohio can vote at our polls. This
is Democratic legislation.
Meantime this same legislature, reason
ing very Justly that the students IN our
Ohio colleges, bePg intelligent and edu-
Gated, are Republicans, have disfranchi q
sed them. If a man goes from here to
Hudson, or Berea, or CSetlin, to sell whis-
key, and stays thirty days, he gains a vote
there;if he goes TO get an education, he
cannot vote, even should he remain Their G
six years.
Again, the Democrats, by The passage
of the visible admixture bill, have sought
to d~isfrsnehise fO1r thousand citizens of
Ohio who are voters under the Constitu-
ton and Supreme Court decisions of the
State of Ohio. And so, whilen no mulatto,
Though he may Be an honest and intelli-
gent citizen, can vote in Ohio, any gam
bier, drunkard, or states prison graduate
is permitted to cast a vote. Ohio disfraD-
chises John NJ. Langston, but welcomes
Elephant Bill as sovereign citizen Of the
Republic. Why? Because the colored
men vote the Republican ticket, the GRIM
inals and blackguards the Democratic.
The Democrats have now d~isfTanchised
four thousand voters by the 'visible ad-
mixture" law; two thousand by the stu
dents disIranchising law; and about five
hundred by this last iniqUIty. Of these
disfranehised citizens nineteen-twentieths
are Republicans The Democrats chuck
lie over the anticipation that by this sue.
cession of acknowledgements they have wi
ped out the Republican msjority in Ohio,
and will be able to carry It next fall
Vain expectation. For every man whom
they have disfranchised by these enact
ments they have disguised and turned
away two Democrats. They have weak,
ened themselves more than they have
weakened us. Theirs is a Pyrrhic victory,
and another such would destroy them
