SINGULAR FREAK OF a GoBBLER.-4
FOu(WG Sto1y-A turkey gobbler. belong
ing to MIR j. X Wilson, Huntingdon county,
some time during the last summer, took it
into his head to share the duties and r,spon-
sibilites of incubation mutually with his
mate. and for this purpose insisted on oc-
cupying a part of the eggs, until forcibly
elected and deharred from the nest, when he
took up position outside, where some hen
eggs were given him, which he Immediately
took possession of and lset On in the most ap-
proved style. aud about a week in advance
of the forthcoming brood of turkeys, brought
forth, aJ opo, fine lot Of young chickens,
which were duly cared for 10y him till the
turkey eggs were hatched, when the chickens
were taken from him aud adopted into the
family of a benevolent hen, and the brood of
young turkeys were divided between him
and his mate, he taking charge of his por-
ton with the utmost apparent delight, and
rearing with all the solicitude of the most
matronly hen, until they were full grown
and able to dispense with his parental over
sight and protection. The truth of this
singular story is vouched for by persons of
the highest respectability. Who can beat
it ?-JOurnaI.

CITY RAILROADS.

New Orleans has already seventy miles
Of street railroads completed, and
We know not now many additional
lines in contemplation. We are
happy to add they are conducted
in manner that reflects credit upon the
city, and brings good dividends to the
stockholders. TIE light grades necessitate
the use Of but single mule, and the driver
is thereby enabled to act as conductors
saving Of two very important items of ex-
pense usual to street railroads. The "box
system by means Of which every
passenger is made to drop bis exact
fare into receptacle with glass walls,
impeAetrable to the driver and yielding
only to the @open sesame Of single col
lector for the whole line, seems to have
been brought to perfection. Our street
railroads, and especially the light and eIe-
giant cars, excite tle admiration of every
visitor to the Crescent City. They have
added immensely to the value of property
in the suburbs, and contributed largely to
the health and prosperity of the city. The
reports show that most Of the lines have
proved 10 be splendid investments.

fornia truth is not like other truth We

truth" and can be found in almost every

days paper, for instance, is the following
"Mr. Greeley says, when you hear a man
prating about the Constitution mark him as
a traitor" etc. The only popularity
about this statement is that the words are
Andy JOhnsOn's and not Horace Greeley'g.
But that is all right according to Camp
street ethics. 1t is sanctioned by the same
editorial honor which recently sent all over
the South as Daniel Webster's words, the
paragraph commencing, "If the Internal ia

which Daniel Webster never uttered, while

lie HRALTH oF New ORLsANs.

A considerable portion of the recent
message Of Mayor Heath is devoted 70 'ne
drainage OF New Orleans, aud to eonslaeIa-
tons respecting the health Of the CITY lis
suggestions, so far as they 60, are goOa
enough, but they do not reach the heart ol
the matter. 49,. ..,,-,.-
The MAYOR tells Us, what We all knew
before, that with the exception OF the opera
tons in the first drainage district, the plan
tor draining the city, adopted ten years
ago, has proved disastrous failure The
drainage canals in the second and third
districts are in horrible condihou-they
are veritable coss-pOols, half filled with
sediment and reekiug corruption that
poison the sweet air Of the river and the
gulf with miasma and death. These dram
ing canals are in a much worse condition
shan they were year ago, on the very eve
Of the terrible pestilence. The weekly
death rate in New Orleans has increased
IRON eighty-tws to one hundred and ten,
and yet nothing whatever is done to
abate this terrible nuisance Yes
there is a movement in one di-
rection. An appeal is being made
to the courts to compel by their tedious
and endless processes the Drainage Com
missioners to do their duty! What snare
and delusion in the face Of the pestilence
that is sure to come unless We bestir our
selves What grim and CHASTITY satire
upon the efficiency Of our drainage bureau
The system Of drainage is wrong, and
must be abandoned altogether. But now
is not the time to waste words upon new
method These canals must be purified
these black aad Shiny and tetid rivers
de ath, skirLiDg the whole rear OF our far
city, must be cleaned ont. The lives Of
perhaps thousands az cur citizens depend
upon it; the retention Of perhaps millions
Of capital ia our city. 1t is the one thing
to be done to save the reputation OF New
Orleans. Should the pestilence flap its
black wings over US, as during last year,
who can predict what fatal influence it
might exert upon the future Of the Crescent
city. In the face Of such peril Rome
would have endowed a dictator with the
power Of life and death ever her citizens
in order to compel every able-bOdied man
to come TO- the rescue.
In report presented to theCity Council
few weeks ago it was claimed that the
LABOR of three hundred men for thirty days
would put the drainage canals in good
condition. Should ii require the labor
of three thousand men, set them to
work at once. II nothing else can be
done, employ every portable steam-pump
in the city to Lift this fluid and semi
fluid mass into the new and old basin
canals, so that il can at least float away to
the gulf; then let in the fresh water from
the Mississippi to supply its place.
Now is q chance for some frst-class
scientific, practical man to gain reputation
and do inestimable service to New Orleans.
The youthful Hercules won the gratitude
of Greece and undying renown by Staying
the seyen-headed Hydra Of the Lernaan
swamps. Stripped of its fabulous surround
ings, the Lernaan Hydra was precisely
such monster as that which now threatens
the lives Of our people.
