Az event which calls for Mr.. Barnnm,s

Az event which calls for Mr.. Barnum's
investigation is reported from Owen, KY,
where a mule, having lost her colt, is al
legged to have adopted and reared brood
of goslings instead. The birds are now
weaued, their only acquired peculiarities
being AN unusual length of neck from
stretching up to nurse from their adopted
mother, and decided propensity to kick
The facts thus related are fully credited by
the community in which they occurred,
and We have no desire to cast .he fantest
imputation upon'the veracity of the report
er. 1t is possible, however. that he may
have been misinformed rs to the antcce-
dents oftEe case, and that the mule. instead
Of producing the usual species of colt in the
first instance, laid the goose eggs herself
and hatched them in n mares nest

An automaton of wonderfully clever
construction is on exhibition in London.
and is exciting more wonder than did
Baron kempler's famous chess player. In
this instance the concealment of dwarf
or legless man, inside the apparatus is
shown TO be impossible' The figure, which
is mass of wheels and springs, plays
arithmetieal problems. 1t is placed on a
table with glass top, so that it seems to
be totally disconnected with whatever
agency controls its intelligent movements
Its owner is amassing fortune by exhibit
ing it, and men of considerable scientific
repute are trying thus far in vain, to dis
cover the trickery.

A Colt IMPRISONED TEN YEARs.-A
farmer named Nelson Coleman, residing at
Canton, in this State, was, some ten years
ago, actually stupid, ignorant and besotted
enough to be offended with the action of a
yearling colt and determined to punish it,
as though the poor animal were as account
able for it's deeds as Christian. lie
placed the creature in small stable, and
exclaimed "D- you stay there, and
there he kept it until month ago. a period
of about ten years. In consequence of the
confinement, the colts hoofs grew to an
enormous length, as it had never been shod
or its feet pared. About two years since
Forepaugh, the circus man, saw the animal
aud offered 81 900 for it as a curiosity, prin-
cipally to show the length of its hoofs,
which grew out like mans foot, and were
from eighteen to twenty-fnur inches long.
The offer was refused, as Coleman deter
mined to imprison the animal for life. 1t
died last month, after au Imprisonment of
ten years. Chicago Journal.

A WALK AROUND THE WoRID.-Mr.
Mark Grason, of Richmond, Va. is now i'll
Wilmington, Del, training for the prodi-
gious and hitherto uninterrupted feat of
walking around the world. Several weeks
ago Mr. GTason, backed by Leon Mccarthy,
entered into a wager of S25, 900 with j. Il.
W Wilkinson and Thomas l.. Murdcck (the
parties all being Of Richmond, Va, that
he would walk around the world in GOO
days. The distarce to be included i'll The
whole route is 10. 226 miles which i'll make
a daily average of little over thirty two
miles. Under the terms of the agreement,
which have been accepted aud signed, Gra-
son is to start from the City Hall, New
York, on Saturday, April 3. 1875, and to
return to the same place on Thursday, Mo-
yember % 1876. Part of his trip will be
ou the ocean steamers, during which time
he will make up his daily average by walk
lug on slip-b board. He will be accompa-
uicd by Mr.. MacaI thyand some persons to
bc sent cut by the other parties to the was
ger. The exceptions included in the
agreement are delays occasi0nCd by assault
OF unavoda ble accidents. Mr. Grason is
twcnty-eight years old, five feet seven inch
es high, weighs 13o pounds, and has been
known III Richmond in the various capaci-
ties of an actor, autheT and pedestrian.
During the excitement occasioned by Wes-
toms walk, he started out in the pedestrian
line, accom- plishing a walk Of 100 miles in
twenty four hours. During the Seymour
and Blair campaign, in 1868, he walked
from Richmond to Omaha, Neb., distance
of about 500 miles. lie carried the Stars
and Stripes, and made 1913 democratic
speeches or the way at various places. He
now claims to be the champion pedestrian
Of the world.

TEE voters of Tipperary county, Ireland,
elected the well known John Mitchell to
Parliament 10 fill a vacancy caused by the
retirement of Col. White. When Parlia~
ment met, short time ago, Mitchell did
not appear tot take his seat, aud on yestcr>
day week Mr.. Disraeli offered a resolution
declaring that as Mitchell had been con~
victed Of felony and sentenced to transpor-
ta,ion, and as he had neither suffered the
penalty ner receiy ed a pardon, lie was in~
capable Of election to the House of Com
mons. Tie resolution was adopted by
large IN majority and the Speaker issued
writ for a new election. Mitchell has is
sued an address to the electors announcing
that he will again be candidate. Even
if Parliament should admit him, of which
there is not much prospect, he, least of all
others, is not the man to advance the cause
Of Ireland.

IT is aged by the radical press as mat
ter 81 serious complaint, that the lower
bray.eh of the leg Stature has thus far dis
pused of a very small amount of business.
As com pared with former sessions this is
eonspicuously the case, and instead OF bs>
ing reproach, ought to be commended by
every right-tlinking mau in the common
wealth. The present is the second session
Of the Legislature under the new constituN
ton, and it must be remembered that the
process of passing bill through its dIffer-
ent stages is much more formal and tedloue
now than it has ever been heretofore. One
of the great redeeming features of the con-
stituiion is. that it cuts up special legisla-
ton by The roots. and consequently the
amount of business to be transacted bears
no onlparisOn tC what it was IN former
times bill, no matter how unimPor>
.art cannot now be rushed through one
house. much less both, in single day, as
WAS the swift practice under the old dis
n.usa.ion. Not only the world, but this
country especially, is governed too much,
and the number of laws that are annually
ground out by the thirty-seven legislative
mills of the different States is fearful to
contemplate The interests OF the people
OF the State viii be best promoted by the
enactment f the fewest number OF laws
possible If the majority in The House
has made haste to proceed slowly, they
have acted wisely and the people Will sus>
tain them rather than visit them vita re-
proach. II the Republican Senate is in
advance OF TIE DemCc- attic House i'll the
,.s-are Of bills, which is no doubt the
fact. it must be borne in mind that the
former body consists of bat fifty members,
while the latter numbers two hundred and
one. and as large bodies move slowly the adj
vantage is with the Senate.
Besides the passage of the appropria-
,ion bill to keep the State government i'll
motion. there are certain laws which ought
to be enacted 10 give effect to the new
constitution. and if this is done the Legis-
lature will have performed its full duty.
The radical papers in demanding more leg
islation aud in abusing the Democratic
members of the House FOX not promptlyfur-
nishirg it. misre present public sentiment,
which will be abundartly satisfied with
much less .han 1.-THE of what has hereto
fore been piled mountain high i'll the shape
Of " Acts of Assembly" The people want
but few laws and mainly such as are Of
general application and easily understood.

WEDNESDAYS Pittsburgh Gazette says !:
Ortwein paid the penalty of his crime yes
terday, "a crime which for cold blooded
fer"city has never had its equal in our Grim
inal annals. TO the las. the convict main
tanned that peculiar stolidity which seemed
to be his chief characteristic. 1t is no won
Ger that the man preferred to die, and well
coined his hour OF demise. Life, with the
load of remorse tha. must have rested upon
the soul of the man guilty of such crime,
would have been worse than any death
The execution was conducted as quietly as
possible, and was attended with as little
excitement as the nature of the case would
admit of, and there was little in the occa-
sion to pander to the tastes Of the morbidly
curious.

WE said last week that the resolution
offered in the House by a Democratic mems
ber named Foster from SchuylI<ill comfy.
authorizing the purchase Of 3, 900 copies Of
.iinulrs Legislative Hand Book for the use
"f the Senate and House, was an impudent
fraud. Foster, acting on information the
source OF which we can more readily cons
! cturc than comncnd-the fact being sjn-
uly nobOdy's busiuess-has seen proper to
..dd. ess to the writer OF this very stupid
and badly spelled letter on the subject, in
which he Informs us that last year each
member received &c ''coppies" this is the
,yay lie spells itl Of the aforesaid .'Hand
book" Our reply to this is, that each
member received just 25 ''copptes'' more
than lie ought to have received. We are
also given to know that as The present
House consists OF 2O1 members, only 13
"coppies" can lie given to each--that ''the
people of the district in which I FOSTER
live desire TO have the Hand Books very
much" and also that ''the members are
ii very anxious TO have them for their
constituents IL the people of Foster 5
Htstflct are suHeflng iOf the want OF ''flanu

ing for them, aud should not seek them
through their representative, thus inducing

then let the members buy them, as they
would any other book, and not call on the
state to furnish them. We advise Foster
% lay aside his "Hand Book, " buy ''cop-
.sy'' of Webster's Dictionary and learn how
20 spell. lie ought also TO he very judi
ciOus in the distribution among the miners
- Schuylkill of his share of the "Hand
Book" grab, for if .hey are fatally bent on
having a "eopps'' of it without paying for
u. a mistake in the objects of his cheap
l,enevolence might produce most unpleas-
.,nt consequences. We repeat, that this

IL tile United States Senate, yesterday
week. the motion TO admit Percy Byssche
belly pinchback, New Orleans mulatto,
20 a seat in that body as Senator from

yeas to 80 nays. Pinchback has played a

Hincl.back's credentials were signed by

this vote of the Senate is a declaration to

FAST Freight Lines.

TABooED IN THE wEsT-PREsENT COMPLICATIONS
AsCRIBRD TO THEM.
The Chicago Tribune. of Thursday, says The
fast freight lines which have long been the bone
of contention among railroads, and which were
the main cause why the Baltimore and Ohio did
not join the Saratoga combination are expert
encing considerable opposition from the roads
leading from this city to the west and north
west.
1t has long been the desire of most of the
western railroads to do their own freight busi-
ness and allow no independent lines to run over
their tracks, but the fear of the displeasure of
Scott, Vanderbilt and other eastern magnates in
favor Of and interested in these fast freight lines
bias induced them to tolerate them thus far.
Chicago, Burlington and Quincy has at last taken
courage, and sent forth the edict that hereafter
fast freight lines will be tabooed on its road,
and no longer permitted to run over it.
1T is understood that the Chicago, Rock Island
and Pacific, and the Chicago and Northwestern
railroads intend to do the same thing In short
time, and the other western roads Will proba bly,
follow suit.
