A Fable.
different tai

Once there was war among the beasts. 1t
ragged long and iercely, and many were
slain. By the chances of war the Lion was
taken prisoner. AS the Sheep were not
warGke, and could be spared from the army,
they were detailed to guard the captive.
They furnished him such food as they had
grass, hay, and oats-but as his Majesty
was carniyerous, he could not live on such
provendcr. The Sheep then made procla-
nation that his friends might bring him
flesh to cat ); but, as they brought very little,
his Royal Highness suffered severely with
hunger, and became sadly emaciated.
Triumph, however, finally crowned the
Lions party. After peace was restored,
the Wolf was appointed Judge, and the
Sheep were put upon trial for cruel treat
ment of their Royal captive. The Sheep
entered the plea of necessity. They gave
his Highness the best provender they had
or could procure. The Judge decided that
the plea was invalid on two grounds. First,
they might by q small levy on themselves
have furnished his Majesty with flesh to
satiate his hunger; or, secondly, they
might, at least, have discharged the Royal
prisoner, and permitted him to provide for
his own support. In view of all the facts,
the Judge decreed that the sheep should be
slaughtered, and that the victors should be
invited to the banquet. Meanwhile he was
careful to secure for himself a few nice
pieces of mutton.

THE "HEADLEss ROOSTER FRAUD.-
Mr.. Henry Bergh issued the following card
in New York city," AT 5l2 Broadway there
is Oh exhibition an ingenious deceit called
the Headless Rooster. Crowds Of persons
have swelled the treasury of the proprietors
of { this strange and incomprehensible phe-
nomenon,' and many scientific men have
seen and bear testimony to the astounding
mystery Piles Of letters have been adj
dressed to this society by kind-hearted and
credulous citizens here and elsewhere, de-
manding the suppression Of this cruel and
demoralizing show. The undersigned,
deeming it an imperative duty to assure
himself of the cruel features of the case,
has had private examination Of the bird
in question, and begs to state that there ex-
lists no cause whatever for his interference,
SO far as the functions of the society he re-
presents are concerned. Not only has no
mutilation been performed, but the animal
is probably as well cared for as any Of its
race. 1t is simply clever deceit, after the
fashion of most successful and now re-
tired Snowman, and is merely matter for
the consideration of the authorities charged
with the suppression of the offence of OBJ
tanning money under false pretences."

A Fable.


Once when fierce war was raging among
the beasts the Fox professed to be strictly
neutral. He could not approve of the
course of either party of belligerents. AT
length great and terrible battle was fought.
The Fox7took position from which'he could
see the progress Of the conflict. Long it
hung in even balance; but at last the scale
turned in favor Of the Bears party. So
soon as Reynard saw how the fight was go
ing, he ran at full speed to bear the tidings
of success to Bruin. Being fresh and &C
tive, he outran the couriers that were ex-
haus,ed by the tolls of battle. Approach
ing the den. of his majesty, who was almost
petrified with fear, Reynard cried, ct the
ton of his voice, "Victory! Victory God
save the King! May all the enemies OF my
Lord fare as his enemies have Jared this
day on the battlefield" The triumphant
monarch was so delighted with the news
brought by Reynard, and with his loyalty
and devotion to the throne, that he imme-
diately ordereG him to be decorated with
marks of nobility, and conferred on him the
office of Judge. .... ..

THIN SHEET-IRoN.-A considerable de-
monstration was some time ago made in the
United States over piece of sheet-iron the
,OOOth of an inch thick, and upon which
letter was written and sent to Pittsburg
This excited the emulation of our English
brethren, and, after repeated experiments,
we are now informed that Messrs. Hallam
s. Co. have rolled sheet so thin that 1900
are required to make thickness of an
inch. The thickest rolled sheets of iron
are the plates Of Brown, in Sheffield,
which plates are each fifteen inches thick.

A letter from Hawthorne has lust been
published, in which ne says: i" | begin to
think our custom as to war is mistake.
Why draw from our young men, in the
bloom and hey-day of their youth, the SOL
diers who are to fight our battles? Had |
my way, no man should 60 to war under
fifty years of age, such men having already
had their natural share of worldly plea
sures and life's enjoyments. And | do not
see how they could make more creditable
or more honorable exit from the worlds
stage than by becoming food for powder, and
gloriously dying in defence of their homes
and their country. Then | would add a
premium in favor of recruits of three-score
years and upward as, virtually, with one
foot in the grave, they would not be likely
to run away" ,.
A French lady at Boulogne recently sent
q challenge to the editor Of comic journal
who twice in succession had made his
theme her private affairs. The lady's sec

the duel with no matter what weapons.
The interest in the matter is intense, and
bets favor the lady, who is heavily
backed.
The editor of the Religious Telescope OBJ

MURDER OF Two. BoATMEsy At MOULD
CRY, ILL.-The New Albany (lnd.) Led9eT
of July % says: ~. = u,
By private letter written by Mrs. Davld
southFick to friend in this city, We learn
that horrible double murder was commit
tod an n Aatboat OF Mound City, III, on
Sunday night last, whereby two New ', Aioa7
mans David Southwick and Asa hoaSe)
were murdered in cold blood ~ an a t.'
ouaintance named Rufus Adnmson' also
resident of this city. From all we coulo
plean from the letter, it seems that hoam-
SON came on board the fatboat on the nlgn.
in question and stabbed Southwlck In II the
neck. killing him while he was asleep. Inc
monster then turned upon Hodge, who was
knocked in the head, and his body 'nro"n
overheard. ....s
After the commission of the crime, Adam
son threatened Mrs. Southwick with instant
death if she gave the alarm, and Jumping
into skiff, made his escape. What conla
have been the motive Of the murderer, IN
less it was for the purpose of robbery we
are az vet unable to learn, as the lntorma-
ton given by the letter is quite brle1:
The victims and perpetrator OF tins ter
rible tragedy are we'll known in this city.
southwick was q striker on the river, but
devoted q great deal of his time to hshing'
He, with his family, were living in nat
boat at the time of the murder, and we pre-
sumo he was catching fish for the CAIRO
market. Asa Hodge is well-known painter,
and has been living with his family at
Cairo for some time past. AS he was seen
painting on the Belle Lee and other boats
at Mound City few weeks ago, 1t Is sup
posed that he was boarding on the fiatboat
with Southwick's family for convenience,
both being well acquainted in fact they
were raised together in this city: eAdamson
also boarded with Southwick, he having been
engaged at some kind of work at Mound
CITY. His father, Alexander Adamson,
lives here, and is very worthy citizen.
His boy Rufus is wild, and said to be des-
perately wicked ut heart. During the war
he was a private in the Sixty-sixth In
diana regiment, and served good part of
his term in the guard-house. For the past
few years he has been working about the
rolling mills here, and on steamboats, as a
laborer. He is about twenty years of age,
short, and heavy set.
