A Child Born With a Horses Head

Ted.
The residents in the Eighteenth Ward
have been recently much excited over
the birth of child 50 malformed that
nothing like it was ever seen.
On North William street, between
Meeker avenue and Herbert street, re
sides German family by the salne OF
Aufnacnt Nick and his wife Gertie live
in a shanty on the rear of lot surroun-
ded by stagnant pools of water. These
hardworking and worthy people were
childless until the Sd ultimo, at which
date their family was increased hy the
birth of little girl.
At that time the child was not so bad
ly formed. Within the past ten days its
head has been rapidly developing into
resemblance of that of a horse The
forehead slopes at an acute angle, and
the upper jaw overlaps the under one.
The eyes bright and hungry looking
1t has the nasal bone and cartilage ex
tending down over the lower lip, and
ending in an oval. shaped, fleshy protu-
berance, which merely joins with the up
per lip. The upper lip spoken of is
double. The whole front part of the
upper jaw is wanting, and looking into
the mouth no palate roof is seen. The
tongue is bifurcated, and the gums OF
the bottoms as well as the top double
section in the mouth are flattened much
more than in an ordinary child.
1t receives nourishment only by hand
being unable TO nurse. 1t devours yo-
raciously the food given to it, and eats
as much as could be slowed away by
three children of its age. When born
it was quite fine child bodily, but with
in two weeks past the limbs have grown
thin and the leg joints have swollen.
The monster breathes stentorously, as
an equine does. The sound made by ii
in resplring would deceive one into The
belief that horse was near.

In spite of the obstinate silence Of
sumner, the senate has been lively. Its
first proceeding Was to pass bill-an
interminable and long drawn bill--osten-
sibly to enforce the fifteenth amendment.
But the title is little ioke. As no sin
gle person can read this bill and live,
and as no person other than member
of tae bar of Philadelphia could under.
stand it, if he survived the reading of
it, Punchinello deemed it his duty to
have the bill read by relays of strong
men. What is the result? SIX of the
most valued contributors sleep in the
valley. But what are their lives to the
welfare of the tniyerses for which he
exists ? The bill proceeds;
L. That any person of darker color
than chrome yellow shall hereafter be
entitled to vote to any extent at any

or previous condition, anything any,

2. That any person who says that any

punishable by fine to the extent of his

3. That any person who shall, with
intent to prevent the voting of any such
person, strike such person upon the
nose, eye, mouth, or. other feature, with
in one mile of any place Of voting, with
in one week of any day of voting shall
be punishable 10y fine to the extent of
twice his possessions, and shall be dis
entitled to vote forever after Moreover
he shall be anathema.
A. That any person who shall advise

be punishable by fine to the extent OF

Mr.. Wilson objected to anathema.-

what shall be done by the authorities
appointed by the Madrid Government.
Outrages and cruelties are committed,

that strict neutrality be observed by
