A GlutsGn,

Perhaps the most extraordinary in
stance of excessive and depraved appe-
tite on record is that OF French SOL
der named Tarare, whose case is de
scribed in vol. Xxx. of the "Dictionaire
DIES Sciences Medicales," by DR.. Percy
He was born near Lyons, and came up
to Paris, where his first exploit was to
eat basket of apples-at friends ex-
pense. On various occasions he swal-
lowed a series of corks and other indi-
gestible materials, which produced such
violent collie that he was obliged to at
tend the Hotel Dieu, and, while being
examined, almost managed to swallow
the watch-chain and seals of the surgeon
in attendance, NJ. Giraud, Desault, on
the occasion of one of these attacks of
collie, tried to frighten him out of his
gross habits by declaring that it would
be necessary to open his stomach, and
arranged the instruments; he ran away,
and relieved himself by copious draughts
Of warm water. Soon afterwards he
found that his appetite had increased to
an excessive amount, probably owing
to the continued irritation produced by
these absurd tricks. At seventeen years
of age, when only weighing one hun
dred pounds, he could eat twenty-four
pounds of beef in as many hours. He
now entered the army, and, being rec
ognized by the surgeon -msior, NJ. Cour-
vile, Of the Ninth regiment of Hussars,
he was detained for the sake of curiosi-
ty. From the day of his admission, he
was ordered quadruple rations, with
pickings and waste meat, but often slip
ped into the dispensary to finish off 6
poultice or two One day he was OBJ
served to seize large cat and, after
sucking its blood, left, in short time,
only c,eanly picked bones, the hair be
ing rejected in the course Of about hal
an hour, like other carnivora. He wa:
fond of serpents and eels, swallowing
them whole On another occasion hs
consumed in few minutes a repas
spread out for fifteen German work-peo
pie, of milk, etc., after which he wa:
blown out like balloon. In the pres
ence of some officers he swallowed, al
one sitting, thirty pounds of liver and
lights. His Unsuitable appetite was fol
once in his life made useful by his being
selected to convey correspondence be-
tween Gen. Bcauharnais and French
Colonel, which was inserted in q box
and swallowed; but he was caught ant
soundly thrashed. He fell under sus
picion Of having eaten child fourteen
months Old 1t is stated that he was o
mild and gentle manners and aspect
After death his stomach was found tt
be in very diseased condition.

That s2.3OO,OOO.OOO,

Wonder il Secretary Boutwell, thinks
the people of Ohio are ready to swallow
any statements he may make concerning
the $4,000, 0,0O0,O 900 that has been collec-
ted in the last six years, and which the
Administration refuses to account for.
The People believe that the money
has 5een sunk, deep down into the pock-
cts of the Radical leaders; and better
and stronger proof than NJ. BOUTWELL, S
mere assertion is required to change
that belief.

@ More Saratoga gossip: "Was it
not good thing" says one, "that she
got all his money! They were enga-
ged and were to have been married in
October. They were to have grand
wedding, but she was such coquette
that he was afraid Of losing her, and so
he persuaded her to be married secretly,
and promised not to claim her until the
day fixed for the wedding arrived. So
they we're married, and here short
time ago he fell overheard from river
steamer. He was sick and had been
asking the captain or somebody for
medicine, and went off and was never
seen again. His hat and coat were found
When it was said that he had been
drowned, everybody was saying "Oh,
just to think how that poor girls pros
poets are blighted;" but now it turns
ont she's rich young widow, and 80
it's all right. That is how Saratoga,
representing the dear public, or good
society, views the matter.

who Has the Money?

The prominent leaders and Office hol-
ders OF the Radical party arc growing
rich, and the taxpayers are becoming
poor. The President has amassed a
fortune by accepting presents, and the
donors have, been appointed to Office,
and, as a result of all this, the burthens
of the people have been treLled and
quadrupIed by war taxes in q time of
profound peace.

Why is it, if the public funds are hon.

as much to carry on the Government by
the Radicals as it cost the Democrats ten
years ago? We are dealing now with
the ordinary expenses; all payments ON
account of the public debt are. excluded
for both periods. The entire control of
all departments Of the Government has
been in the hands of the Radicals, all
appropriations have been made by them,
and every dollar of expenditure has
passed through their hands
The legitimate increase Of expenses
on account Of pensions and the increase
of population is more than met by the
millions received for the sale of public
stores, ships, war material, and other
Government property, which they fail to
account for.
