A CHICAGO STORY.
A Human Hand Found in u Hogs
head Of Sugar.

From he Chicago RepuJiie1u, 97M.
There was singular story current
among South Water street wholesale mer-
chants Saturday, story that brought
EXPLANATIONS Of surprise, Of disbelief, or
of disgust, from the many to whom it was
told. A human hand and arm had been
found in an alley running between State
street and Wabash avenue and Lake and
South Water streets, and, from its appear
ance, there was unmistakeable evidence
that it had been previously found in a
hOgshead Of sugar, taken out and de-
posted there by the discoverer, who was
too sharp to leave any clew that might
identify the merchant who was the pro-
prietOT Of that particular sugar Cask. The
hand was evidently that Of female, and,
from its color, it appeared TO be that Of q
creole or mulattO. 1t was small and well
formed, and was in a state Of perfect pre-
servation, having been completely sugar
cured"
OF course nobody owned the article, or
knew how itcame there. or where it came
from. Crowds of people iIocked to the
spot TO witness the strange sight, and
speculation was rife on the subject, result
ing in nothing satisfactory. All that
could be asCertNinGd was that it was tho
left hand of some female, and that II lad
been packed in hOgslIead Of West India
sugar and shipped TO Chicago. Having
been discovered, it was quietly deposited
in the alley, and the sugar which surround.
cd 1t may be ere now disposed Of to retail
dealers, who will, unwittingly, in turn
dispose OF it to their customers.

would give IN opinion upon the question,
whether the 18th Amendment 10 the Con.

right Of suffrage upon person, disqualified
under the State Constitution for parliCi-
patton in the late rebellion
ltispcrlrCtly clear that the 18th Amend.

imposed by State Constitution and laws
arising from race or color,
II carefully excludes the idea tina, il

Nrarlyall Uithc State Constitutions dis.
franchise persons convicted Of treason or

ciBion as to the liability Of market garden

cision was in the case Of man near
Williamsport, who cultivated forty acres
of land, the product Of which he sold in
that city without a license. Tho decision
Of the court is that he must take out Il
license to do so. This case was brought
before the court more for the purpose Of
making test case than TO punish the de.
PENDANT, and Judge MCCandlcss appears to
have given it n careful consideration ind
n clear exposition of the law on the sub.
jcct. Under Judge McCandless's view of
the law, every farmer who g6cs to market
and sells the product Of his farm will be
required to take out a government license.

The Register responds teeDlY to our
shots at that rickety concern, the Demo-
cratic platform framed at Charleston. 1t
remarks: "The INTELLrGEECER and every
body else Of sense"-But here VIC are
obliged to pause and acknowledge this
handsome compliment The Register is
really improving very much, both in dis
elimination and in manners. We have
been told so often in that quarter the
ISTELII0ENCER had no sense" that our
sensation on reading this was very much
like that of the boy who, having had his
skull cracked and being told that his brain
was exposed, begged that his father might
be informed of the discovery Mt once, the
old gent having always insisted that the
boy had no brains. Well, "Thc lNTELLI-
"GENcER and everybody else OF sense lin
"cluding our complimentary neighbour
"knows that the Official copy of docu-
"ment Is always the authoritative copy,
land the only one binding on the parties
making it, whether it be favorable or TN
favorable to them" This is Il very plain
proposition which nobody "ot sense will
dispute.
But then onr ncighbor goes on 1.-THE
platform Officially published by us is the
platform adopted and sanctioned by
