A SINGULAR BIRD KILLED IN KENTUCKY.
james Henry of Mound city, Illinois, on
Sunday week, shot new and comparatively
unknown bird, on the Kentucky shore oppo-
site this city, which is thus described by the
Cal o Den,6crut
1t is larger than the ostrich, and weighs one
hundred and four pounds. The body of this
wonderful bird is covered with snow white
down, and its head is of fiery red The
wings ofdead black, measure fifteen feet from
tip to tip, and the bill, of yellow color, twen-
ty-four inches Its legs are slender and sin
envy, pea green in color, and measure forty
D eight inches in length. One of the feet re-
sembles that OF duck, and the other that
of a turkey -r n eorl h.
Mr. Henry shot ii distance of one hundred
yards, from the topmost branch of q dead
tree, where it was perched, preying upon
null sized sheep that it had carried from the
ground. This strange species of bird, which
IS SAID to have existed extensively during the
Gays OF the mastodon, is almost entirely ex-
tlnct-the last one having been seen in the
State of New York during the wear 1912,
Potter has it on exhibition in his office at
Mound City. Its flight across the town and
river was witnessed by hundreds of citizens.
FEMALE SUFFRAGE-Thef female property
owners Of the village Of Mount Vernon, West
chester county, New York, recently held q
meeting to devise means whereby they could
vote in town meetings on appropriations of
money for Improvements The greater num-
Der of women in this village are widows, with
children, and they desire tn build O suitoblo
schoolhouse, and obtain competent teachers
to instruct the rising generation, composed
OF twelve hundred souls. The effort of the
mothers TO provide schools for their children
is worthy of praise. AT the meeting. above
mentioned, it was asserted by Miss Anthony,
the well-known advocate of women's rights,
that in Australia, two years ago, there arose
-. issue in politics that interested the women,
and they bethought themselves that they
werenot prohibited voting by any constitution
orlaw: They went to epoles and voted and
have done SO ever since @ IHI. IA

CHILDREN IN MASSACHUSEF
FACTORIES

In the last number of the Revolution
MFR. Parker Pillsbury administers a
severe dose of pills TO Massachusetts,.
The following is sample: 1t is the nine
teenth century, whatever facts in our pro-
eress may seem to be of the ninth or be-
fore. New England claims to be source
and center of modern civilization, and
Massachusetts its chief reservoir. But in

A CRAZY WOMAN ON A -TRAEN-A
TEARFFI. SCENE

From the New Albany DAD Ledger. April IS.
A gentleman who came from Cincinnati,
by way of Seymour, yesterday, says that
fearful scene was witnessed on the Jeffer
sonville train, caused by the rawlings OF a
crazy woman. This unfortunate woman,
il seems, had got on the train at Indians
apolia, with her three children, and was on
her way to meet brother in Louisville.
Soon after the train Ieft the Union depot,
she commenced FAving, broke several panes
Of glass out of the car windows with her
fist, and tried to make her escape through
the door of the car while the train was in
motion The car was filled with ladies,
many of whom were terribly frightened.
All the efforts Of the male passengers to
quiet the insane woman proved of no avail,
until she was finally thrown down and tied
with line.
When he train arrived at Jacksonville,
il was with difficulty that four men could
get out Of the train with her, aud when they
did succeed they failed to get her in the
Louisville omnibus. They finally had to
give it up az a hopeless job, and she was
let go. The last our informant saw of her,
she was wandering along the of JEFF
fersonyille, with her three children drag
ging after her.
This woman seemed 10 have some sane
moments, during which she conversed ra
tionally. She stated that her husband had
left her, and had married another woman.
This story was perhaps only an insane va
gary. She seemed to be passionately fond
Of her children, to whom she chung with a
mothers love. How this demented woman
came to be travelling without protector is
a mystery that will bear solution.

DELICATE POSITION ALL ROUND.

The Jacksonville reporter of the Louis
Vile Democrat tells Of very good-looking
woman, who applied TO well known law
yer of that city TO know lchoss Uife she lCGs.
This was little beyond the legal talent of
the attorney, as he did not know the cir
cnmstances, but he was soon enlightened
10 relation to it, in this wise: The lady
said her first husband went to the wars,
and sometime afterward she learned that
he was dead. After wearing the widows
weeds for a considerable length of time,
she married again, and for four years has
been enjoying the marital relations with
her second spouse. Last night as she was
passing along the street, some one tapped
her upon the shoulder, and addressed her
with "How are You, purtyY She did not
recognize the individual, but il is needless
to say that it was husband No. l. EKpla-
nations followed and matters left for fur
Their consideration. Both husbands claim
her, and the woman is in rather an awk-
ward fix. She is inclined toward the first
husband, and husband No 2 wants her to
fly with him to some more congenial cline,
at least, where no dead husbands make
their ghost-like appearance to interrupt
his connubial bliss.

THEmYsTERY OF EDITING.

The world at large do not understand the
mysteries of newspaper; and, as in
watch the hands that are seen are but the
passive instruments of the spring, which is
never seen so, in newspaper, the most
worthy causes of its prosperity are often
least observed or known. Who suspects
the benefit which the paper derives from
the enterprise, the vigilance, and the
watchful fidelity Of the publisher Who
pauses TO think how much of the pleasure
of reading is derived from the skill and
care Of the printer We feel the bemishes
of printing, If they exist, but seldom OBJ
serve the excellences.

RAILROAD TRAYEL.-The fastest train
in England is one of the Great Western
railway, (the broad gauge) which goes
every day 1875 miles, with TOUR stoppages
amounting to twenty minutes, in four and
a half hours, or at the rate of forty. three
miles an hour. The greatest exceptional
run ever made in Great Britain was in
1862, when the answers were brought to
re dispatches 5ent 30 " s5hingtoh RESP set
ing Messrs. Mason and Slidell. The Train
from Cork to Dublin ran at the rate OF for
ty-one miles an hour. The mail steamer
from Dublin reached Holyhead at S;l5 in
the morning. At 8:28 the special train
left London and performed the whole
distance in exactly FIVE hours, or at the
speed of ffty-two and three fourth miles
an hOur-a speed unparalleled for so
long a distance on a line crowded
with traffic. By means of an inven-
ton for supplying the tender with
water in trough IN transitu, the engine
ran $50 miles without pulling up to take
water. This is the longest run ever made
by any engine in this country without
stopping. In France the fastest trains do
not exceed thirty-four miles an hour in
Belgium thirty-four and fouth in Prus-
sia thirty-one and a half-1he StockhOideT.

THE GREAT SNOW STORM ON THE
PLAINS.

One of our Western exchanges contains
the following
The recent snow storm was the most Vio-
lent Of the season in the Wyoming count
Ty. A man named Charles Bonneville, 10
attempting to go from the house at Big
Laramie rancho to the spring, seventy-five
yards distant, got lost 10 the binding snow,
and wandered over the plains for thirty
hours, and at last reached the Lake rancho,
thirteen miles distant, so exhausted that he
fell PROSTATE after he got inside the door.
During the storm, the treasurer's box of
Wells Fargo q Co, containing large
amount Of funds was stolen off the Eastern
bound coach, between Salt Lake and Fort
Rridger, last week. The driver could not
see six feet ahead, and the road was lost
sight of. He told the passengers thai they
would have to either unhitch and ride back
10 the last station, or all hands freeze to
death in the snow-drifl. They concluded
90 straddle the horses and try il, and cue
ceeded in reaching the station by giving
the horses the reins. The baggage and ex-
press matter, including the money chest,
was left in the stage, and the chest was
gobbled by some unknown parties.
Also two women in or near Laramie City,
being houseless, spread several blankets
ever some logs and made their beds there
! under. The snow drifted 20 az to cover
both women and logs over, and next morn
ing neither could be seen, but after little
prospecting they were found as "hale and
| hearty" as the night before.

From the st. Louis Republican. April II.
II was generally supposed, during the
prevalence of the severe weather Of last
week, that the cold would be fatal TO the
prospects OF fruit from the trees and vines
which bud early in the season. The
weather was quite Indictment First, there
came very low temperature, with frosts
and dry air. To this succeeded a cold
rain with sleet, which formed Il thick coat
ing Of ice round the limbs of the trees, and
in come cases broke them down with the
weight which incrusted them. Yet, the
peach blossoms have suffered far less than
was apprehended. The trees are still
loaded with bloom, which gives present
promise Of very fair crop. The same
remark applies TO the blossoms of the
cherry, plum and pear trees. OF the smaller
kinds Of fruits we are doubtful. In some
localities the strawberry beds and the rssp-
berry, gooseberry and currant bushes look
as il the cold had destroyed the germs Of
these fruits. From the later blossoms OF
the strawberry moderate crop may, how
ever, he realized.
OF the apple crop we need hardly add
that the blossoms DO not appear early
enough to be endangered by the frosts Of
