Two little children, with faces awry.

Depraved Appetite.

Nature gives the following remarkable
instance Of deprsved and excessive appe-
tite, la the case of French soldier, named
1urare: ale Was born near Lyons, and
came up to Paris, where his first exploit
WAS To eat basket of apples, at friends
expense. On various occasions he swal-
lowed series of corks and other indi-
gestible materials, which produced such
violent cole that he was obliged to attend
the Hotel Dieu, and, whilst b.ing ex
amined, almost managed to swallow the
watch-ch;in and seals of the surgeon in
attendance, NJ Giraud. Desault, on the
occasion of one Of these attacks of colo,
tried to frighten him out of his gross
habits, by declaring that it would be
necessary TO open his stomach, and ar
ranged the Instruments He ran away,
and relieved himself by copious draughts
of warm water. Soon after be found that
his appetite had already increased TO an
| excessive amount, probably owing to the
continued irritation produced by these
absurd tricks At II years of age, when
only weighing 100 lbs, he could cat "a
lbs of beef in as many hours. He now
entered the army, and. being recog-
nized by the Surgeon Major, M. Cour-
vile, Of the 9th Regiment of Husssrs,
he was detained for the sake of curiosity.
From the day of his admission he was
ordered quadruple rations, with pickings
and waste meat; but often slipped into
the dispensary to finish off poultlce or
two. One day he was observed To seize
large cat; and, after sucking its blood
left in u very shorttime only clean picked
bones, the hair being rejected in course OF
about half an hour, like other carnivora
He was fond of serpents and cells, swal
lowing them whole. On another occasion
he consumed in a few minutes, n repast
spread out for fifteen German workpeO
pie, Of milk, &c, after which he was
blown out like IA balloon. In presence ol
some fifteen officers he swallowed, at one
sitting, thirty pounds of liver and lights
His unsuitable appetite was, for once in
his life, made useful, by his being selected
to convey correspondence between Gen
eral Bauharnais and French Colonel
which was inserted in box and swallow
Ell; but ho was caught and soundly
thrsshcd. He fell under suspicion o
having eaten child fourteen months
old. 1t is stated that he was of mild anl
gentle manners and aspect. After dealt
his stomach was found in very diseased
condition"

Of love unwhispered and deep deapair:

To draw your hesrt from It's new-fOund rest.

Oh We went fishing, you and l.
IN those long golden days gone by;

Mr.. Stewart introduced bill to pro-

Stewart explained that the bill was in
tended to apply to Chinese immigration.
He said in making Coolie labor con-
tracts, the Chinese contractors took
advantage Of the religious views Of the

their native land, dead or alive. These
contracts were for four years, and the
Chinese dared not break the contract

try. The bill would break up.this
Coolie system by prohibiting contracts
for longer period than six months,
while it also provided for the return of
the Chinese to their own country This
period would be long enough to enable
immigrants to pay the expenses OF their
passage, and not long enough to make
their transportation, as a system, a
means of profit The bill was referred
Mr.. Patterson called up the bill to
repeal all the existing laws authorizing
the transportation and expectation Of
goods, wares and merchandise in bond
to Mexico over land or by inland waters
He said the Secretary OF the Treasury
was anxious for the passage of the bill,
as it would do away with an immense
amount of smuggling on the Mexican

Mr.. Chandler remarked that the saw

n0.A as they zee the negro is allowed to
vote, they are perfectly willing that all
white men should vote also So that il
left TO themselves, they would do away
with all test oaths, and place all the
citizens of the State upon an equality at
the 'ballot-box. But they viii not be
left to themselves. There is a number
Of political interlopers, greedy office
seekers who, without merit or qualitica-
tions, have come among u.s. or sprung
up in our midst, like mushrooms from
rottenness, and have all along feather
ed their nests" by reason of test oaths,
and who expect to keep them feathered
by prolonging the present proscriptive
system. This class. will move heaven
and earth to defeat the proposed amend
mept. They know that the people
would be infinitely better off-that We
would have peace and quiet and good
feeling between neighbors, if all were
allowed to vote, but what do they care
for peace and quiet-they care for moth
ing but office, and for nobody but them
selves. We hope, however, to see them
defeated in their evil schemes. We
know that they rely largely upon the
negro vote-but this very fact should
stimulate every decent white man to 20
against them. .s..
We appeal, therefore, to every honest
and fair minded Radical to set his face
against these selfish and unprineipled
would-be leaders, and to vote only for
men for Office who believe that white
man is, at least, as good as negro, and
who so believing will give white men an
equal chance with negroes at the polls.
The Radical party is dying, and now is
the time to leave-yes. leave il at once
and leave il forever.

From the Grecnbricr INDEPENDENT
Word TO Enir-Mimded Wen.

Six wears have elapsed since the close
of the war. In the rebellious States,
even from the beginning, little or no
restriction was imposed upon the cxer-
else OF the right OF suffrage. So far as
we remember, only those were excluded
from the polls who prior to the war,
bad sworn to support the Constitution
of the United States. The great mass
of the people Of those States voted i'm
mediately after the war, without hinder
ance, just as they had done before the
war.
1t was reserved for Tennessee, Mis-
souri, and West Nirginia-the two last
always reckoned among the loyal States
to exclude large body of their citi-
zens from the polls. Tennessee has,
however relentel, and there all vote.
Missouri is about to follow the example
of Tennessee. West Virginia, how
ever, treads the path Of justice and fair
ness more mincingly and gingerly. The
Legislature of last winter proposed to
abolish the amendment to the Consti-
tuition that excludes rebels, so-called,
from the polls 1t is necessary, how
ever, that this proceeding should he
ratified 10y the next Legislature, and
then 10y the qualified voters of the State
before it can become effectual for the
relief of the prescribed class. Hence
the importance of Legislature next
winter, of liberal aud fair-minded men.
Unless we elect such men, the move
made 10y the last Legislature will be ar
rested and our disfranchisement indcfi
nitely postponed:
We believe that the great mass o.
Radicals in this State, the farmers, me
chanics and artisans, who earn then
living by the sweat Of their brows, arr
tired of this thing. We believe tina
