CE-A wild goose was recently shot in Iowa
which had bone head six inches long
imbedded in its back The wo.md was alto
gether healed. Geologists computed Its age
at II ,675 years, yet 1t was sold 10 its present
proprietor as a "gosling" by a Dcs Moincs
markeiman
To- The Youngstown Register says: On
Tuesday, a smallpox patient at Lowell, per-
formed some strange fcats while delirious
rom- the fsVer. Getting away from his wife,
he demolished window, and went roaming
through the streets in nude STATE. After
wandering around about au hour he became
chilled and came TO his senses, and went into
die furnace casting house, and remarked it
was quite cold. He was secured, clothed and
taken home.
tB-The dispatches say that the Government
will Immediately demand from Spain an qpol-
ogy for that insult TO our flag, in the matter of
overhaulng and searching the steam ?r Florida,
and make preparations for the worsts Onltrs
have beeh issued from,thc Navy Department
TO hasten the work OF construction and repairs
OF all vessels of the Atlantic squadron not
now at sea, and our feet will be rapidly con-
centrated in the vicinity Of Cuba, to be ready
for any and all events
The Mormons are To have credit for
having kept their city of the desert free
from the common forms of vice which
prevail in most large cities, and especial.
by ia those of the far west For the
first time we begin to hear that robbers,
garroters, and other desperadoes are
numerous in the city, and that neither
life nor property is safe after nightfall.
If the triumph Of tho "Gen&ies" is to
bring such result, the heinous nature
OF the old rule, under the adherents of
polygamy, Will become less apparent
We remember Artemus Wards humor-
GUS description of the disgusted. miners
from neighboring territories, whu would
congregate IN SalL Lake City. Vhsy
found no liquor saloons, gambling places
nor disreputable resorts they accord
ingly sat on convenient fences or barrel
heads, swinging their legs disconso olately,
and swore roundly at the infamous
character of polygamy.
The Chicago journal says : The
"Ohio law," which has passed one branch
of the Illinois Legislature, and will prob
ably become the Illinois law, is a very
different matter from the "Alaihe hw."
The "Ohio law" proposes simply to
make liquor dispensers responsible in pc
cuniary damages for the wrong and in
jury Of which they are the immediate
cause. Instead OF ianaIical and i'm
practical device to abolish the evil, it is
very practicable proposition to hold the
evii-doer pecuniarily responsible for the
evil done. Its Object is,not TO prevent
Injustice, which is an achievement no: in
the power of human legislat ures but
to provide the way Of doing justice by
Furnishing injustice, which is the most
that human laws can hope to achieve.
A SUCCESSFUL PosTER.-The import
ance attached to- judIcious posting"
ss means of advertising is best illus.
trated by the fact that, when the lower
portion of the City Hall Park, opposite
the Astor House, was enclosed, before
beginning work on the new post Office,
an enterprising party purchased the
privilege OF using the fence for adYer-
tising purposes. For this, light fifteen
thousand dollars per annum WAS paid.
Sub.rights were immediately sold by the
day and week at enormous prices, and
at least two hundred and fifty thousand
dollars have thus been made. Bonnar,
when he has new story in tic Ledger,
has been known to pay Tor few feet
square fiwe hundred dallars day. Que
ambitious person anxions to MI the pub
JIG eye, paid two thousand dollars for a
space less than fifty feet in length, and
Tor bat two days use. The fence is now
a mass of pictures aud type, and every
body who passes up or down on either
side OF the. Park sees yariegated map
Of busy advertising life.
