The Pole Hat.

Ny friend, did you ever examin the
fragrant pole kat clussly?
l guess not, they are kritter who
won't bear examining with micro
skope.
They are beautiful beings, but oh
how deceptive.
Their habits are phew, but unique.
They build their houses out ov earth
and the houses have but one door tew
them, and that il front door.
When they enter their houses they
don't shut the door after them.
They are called pole kats bekause II
il not convenient tew kill them with a
klub, but with pole, and the longer
the pole the more convenient.
Writers on natural history disagree
about the right length OF the pole tew
be used, but i would suggest that the pole
be about 365 feet, espeshilly il the wind
il in favor ov the pole kat.
When pole kat il suddenly walloped
with a long pole, the fust thing that ne,
she, or it duz, IL tew embalm the air for
menny miles 10 diameter, with an
acrimonious ollfaktory refreshment
which permeats the ETHEREAL fluid with
an entirely original smell.
This smell IL less popular in the
fashionable world than lubins extrakt
but the dav may cum when it will be
bottled up, like musk, and sold for SIT
cents per bottle; bottles small at that.
A pole kat will remove the filling

How this IL did, historians hav left

This IL vulgarly called "surkins

This iz an accomplish ment known

Pole ka,s also deal in chickens, yung

They won't tutch an old goose, they

esting Incident OF the Great
Speech OF the Missouri senator.

A Washington letter to the New Or
leans Times says:
The effort made by Carl Schurz will
be long remembered as one OF the most
remarkable exhibits OF oratory ever
witnessed in a chamber famous for
-uch display Those now living who
can look back with knowledge to the
day when Webster, Clay, Calhoun and
Corwin were wont to charm the ears OF
hearers IN that forum, readily admit
that this effort OF Senator Schurz
towers above them all. This is saving
much, for the natural inclination is to
exaggerate the past. The orators OF a
former day were remarkable, but this
one Of ours is wonder Senator
Schurz has remarkably clear and
rather piercing voice. He speaks
with great command OF language and
a somewhat German accent, but so far
as choice Of words and construction Of
sentences are concerned, in the purest
English. For hours he held that vast
assembly, and when he closed there
was strange mingling Of relief and
regret such as one feels at the end Of a
beautiful and tragic opera, when the
last strain pours out as the curtain
drops.

beautiful and accomplished women in
Washington. Her experience in social
life has not diminished her sweet Ger

subsequently learned, the attack made
BY Senator Conkling on her husbaod,
and, wiie-like, she thought it terrible

A Rabid Bride-An Awful Weddins
Morn.
From the Pittsfnn PA Gazette

About eleven weeks ago young lady
named Cox, daughter OF Miles Cox. OF
Stoddardville, went into the yard 10 kill
some chickens. The dog followed her
and picking up one Of the chickens, ran
off with il. She chased him with q
stick to recover it, and, coming up, with
him, turned upon her and bit her, in
the arm, lacerating it fear'ully. Her
mother and brother, coming to the
rescue, were also badly bitten by the
infuriated beast. The wounds healed.
however, and nothing more was thought
OF the matter.
The young woman was engaged 10
be married TO young man living at
Goldsboro, named Alfred Kerrlck. and
the wedding was appointed to come OF
at the place about two weeks ago.
On the wedding morning as she was
about to perform her ablutions, the
sight Of the water sent a shiver through
her whole system aud frightened her,
and at the breakfast table the coffee
had such an effect upon her that she
spilled il over the table. She then COM
planned OF feeling unwell, and her friends
advised her to remain al home, but she
said she did not want to disappoint AL,
and accompanied by her sister, proceed
ell to Goldsboro, where the wedding
ceremony was performed.
linn ediately after this she was seized
with spasms, bearing all the indications
OF hydrophobia. In one OF her lucid
intervals she warned the company that
she would bite them il they did not
keep away from her, But" said che
to her husband. al, YOU need not be
afraid, wont bite you.
In one OF her paroxisms she bit a
lady who was endeavoring 10 sooth her.
1t was the wife of Doc. Hoffman, who
drives the stage from Goldsboro TO the
Sand Cut, on the D. l. Il W. r. r.
Soon after assuring her husband that
che would not bite him she was seized
with convulsions, and, laying back in
his arms, died.
The other members Of the family
who were bitten 10y the dog, have not,
as vet, displayed any symptoms Of the
disease, but they live in hourly dread.

Rather Late.

Mr.. John Frew urges the Wheeling
MtslEgcnccr to express for him his in
tense anxiety for Thorough searching
and impartial investigation OF his
accounts as Public Printer. THIS is
rather late and decidedly superhuous.
His accounts will be investigated no
matter what his own views on the
subject may be. 1t costs him nothing
now to court an investigation which
he cant prevent. But wouldn't his
purpose have been better served by
informing the Legislature before ad-
iournment OF his keen desire for an
overhauling OF accounts? But that
didn't suit When Sturgiss, with bis

His convictions of duty pressed him

impeachment would fail, and then be

that proposition, we heard nothing ol
