Strange Human MOnstrOCIty--.A
Child with Three Arms and the
Free Use OF All. -

A medical friend reports having seen With
III the past week, while travelling through
the southern portion OF Lincoln county, q
most wonderful human monstrocity.
Itisayell developed white child OF SOME
ten yeals Of age, walking, talking, eating,
etc., in the most approved juyepiie HAMMER,
with third arm growing from it5 Back, Inn
mediately between the shoulders. This arm,
as It is called, is no fabby, useless gacre-

number Of strange uses, In the centre Of
plate Of bone permanently uniting the shoul-
der blades, is the socket or first joint, per-
MittihE The, limb to bS moved freely in all
diteGtiors, BY means of several powerful and
strangely complicated muscles. From the
socket extends large triangular bone--or
three small homes combined---perfectly
straight, and about eight inches In length,
terminating in short flexible wrist, upon
which closely fits the hand. This hand is
somewhat ia the shape and about the size OF
an ordinary funnel, with four hnger-like pro-
jections at equal distances about the nm
The fingers have claw.like nails, Joiuts, Eth,
and possess the power OF opening anu cIoSlng

being much more powerful. The palm, which
seems already hardened By ass, tscedes, iiPtp

Romance and RasGallft.

A few days since bit Of romance
occurred in Knoxville, that, to the
parties concerned in it, will always be
remembered. A young man made
the acquaintance Of young lady at
an evening socinl last season. we will
give no names, as the positi5H Of the
lady forbids il. The youpg man we
shall call Smith. Smith, being a gui-
tar player and possessing q good voice
soon won ths affections of his fair ac-
quaintanGs. ftey tfietI they lovod,
and the post Office did its duty, Us IL
always does on such occasions: SHiith
proposed, "Ask papa" was the quick
febiy. That was bombshell in the
camp. Papa had seen the dissipated
freaks of Smith, ana he datb not ask
for the hand of the fair one. Papa
smelled a gobd sized rat, upoR taking
a note frolh the tHSt Office directed to
his daughter. Papa had 70 50 TO n
neighboring town that evening. Papa
was to take that evenings train at
night. All tb6 family had retired e&-
cept the daughter.
Footsteps were recognized, and in q
few seconds the maiden, with u lamp
in her hand, came softly in the par
lor. Then going TO tho window, she
raised it silently and threw q rope
down, tied il to the leg Of tho sofa,
aud SAT .upon the sofa. In few min
utos a coat and pants, containing tho
carcass of ye lover, came in the win
dow. OIL the embraes. Blondin,
with all his f6aGs, sheSet had shpwn

to both of US. We are now within q

does not go to pair of bars on the
west side of the house and pass over
and go round to tho east side of the
barn, and pull out pin, and open the
middle stable door and enter, will
not claim him. If he does ! will fur
tish y6u with conclusive evidence that
he was bred by me, but mover sold
that he was stolen from me, just ut
the conclusion of the war, about the
very time you say you purchased
Him.
The traveller assehted to the trial;

Ireland for the Irish.

Monadnock," the London corres-
pondent of the New York Times,
says: ~
The publication in Tinsley's Maya
zine, edited by Mr.. Edmund Yates,
who held short time since, and be-
lieve still holds post under the Gov
erbment, of a frank and bold opposi-
ton to Fenianism by an American
Fenian, shows that tho English are
ready, or nearly ready, to look at the
question from a more westerly point
Of view than they have heretofore
considered it. In this article all re-
forms for Ireland are put aside as
worthless. What the Irish want is
not such reforms as British Parlia-
ment may be disposed to give them.
They want only one thing and that 10
ireland. They prefer bad govern
ment Of their own to the best that
England can bestoH. =" ireland for
the Irish" covers tho whele ground of
debate. Tbs &tilef belieyes they
will get It. Ireland may as we'll be
independent as Belgium, and is fur
thcr from England than that country
is from France. Ireland is to Eng,
land what Venecia is to Austria, with
the agitation of the religious question.
England holds Ireland as Turkey held
Greece, as Russia holds Poland. Aus
tria has given legislative independence
to Hungary, and grown strong by the
act. SO might England do With re-
spect to Ireland. Sic Has IL Choose
between a bo&eFfhl ally Of con9uor,
ed province; ever ready to revolt, and
always q thorn in her side, ind a
source Of weakness and danger.

Fhe Horse His Memory and

Gollwoing anecdote of the horse, illus
