The legislature has expelled Ward,
the gentleman from Granf.n War.i
is a genius. He is not only man Of
many words, but he is man of war.
The Speaker refused. to hear Wards
oration, and Ward consequently re-
fused to be seated, or to be comfDrted.
The Sergeant-at- -Armswas apparently
a doomed victim when Ward hauled
out Of his trousers pocket cooked
q hoss" " pistol as long as a mans arm,
and pointed it with deadly intent, in
such - position, that a slight pressure
on the trigger would have sent a bull
let as large as a walnut, on 4 search
after Northwest passage through the
corpus OF John Gair, through which
his soul would have gone straight to
Abraham's bosom. The House was
outraged by this action of the Colfax
,nassacre-he left for this city lnfore
the fight began-and he was forth with
isnon'iniously expelled, as unfit to as
sociate with gentlemen. We saw him
leave the house, and were reminded
of the way deserters are g drummed
out " Of the service, to the song of
4" Now We are going to drum him out,
Because he wouldn't soljer,"
and we cxpectcsl to lscasss scn1olbcdy'
sing .I.z eses .,.=s4.3 4.t-, :.
Now We are going to run him out, i,sf
Because he drew pistol"
But there was no music on this oc
casion. As We bid Ward good bye
III his official capacity, we can only
express our regret that, with his fig
ing artillery, lie was not at Colfax at
the time Of tile trouble.-Stute Reqistcr.

| came in contact invariably expressed
as fearful OF very siekly season. In
Havana, too, made a point of asking
the opinion Of almost every one | met
on this point. 1t was the same--a gen.
eral apprehension was felt, and even the
most conservative we're compelled to
acknowledge their fears"
In concluding his report he says
The increased temperature of the past
winter being six degrees above the aver
age, the undue prevalence Of southerly
and easterly winds and the absolute ab-
sence of northers during the whole win.
ter, the general opinion existing among
those who have had the best opportuni-
mites to observe and form Judgment,
the actual appearance of yellow fever so
early in the year both at Havana and
Key West, all combine to favor the be-.
lief that any protraoted stay Of a large
naval force at either of those places
might have most calamitols result,
and would therefore be in the highest
degree imprudent"

A PetriGsd Goose.

The Yolo (Cal. Mail, some days be-
fore the lst of April, told the following
g'ose story: while hunting in the
tules near the sink of Cache creek on
Monday last Abe Green, an old hunter,
discovered petrified wild goose, stand.
upright, with legs buried one.half in the
adobe soil. He thought at first it was
living, and, creeping closely up, fred his
gun at it, but the bird did not bulge an
inch. He thought it very strange, and
walked up to it. he found it dead, and,
in trying to pick it sp, was astonished at
the immense weight. 1t bad turned to
stone, and mark on its wing, near the
forward point, showed where the shot
had struck it, knocking piece off. He
managed to raiseit up out Of the ground,
and when he laid it down a piece drop-
ped from its breast, disclosing hollow
inside, from which pure, clear water
commenced running. Its feathers we're
very natural, and its appearance was
calculated to deceive--so life-like. He
took it to his cabin, down the canal, a
few miles back of Washington, where it
can be seen by those who wish to see
such strange and unusual sight.

The Key west yellow Fever STORY,

ABe Aey west NetlOW FeNer StOrys
Fleet Surgeon James Suddards, Of the
North Atlantic Fleet, writes to the Navy
Department, under date of Port Royal,
South Carolina, April Ia, 1875, in regard
to the health Of the crews of vessels at.
tached to the feet and the existence of
yellow fever at Key West, as we'll as
at Havana, that the wind constantly
blew from the eastward, so thai there
had not been single norther during the
season when they are the most preva-
lent. The average temperature of Key
West from December /, 1874 TO March
81, 1875, has been more than six degrees
above the average Of that season Of the
year. In all probability the good health
of the squadron at Key West at all times
during the past year may be attributed
in great measure to the strict sanitary
regulations observed.
Surgeon Suddards then speaks of the
departure of the Colorado and Plymouth
from Havana on the 29th OF March,
upon learning that the yellow fever ex-
listed there, and their arrival at Key
West, where a board, consisting of Sur.
geon Adrian Hudson, of the Worcester;
Acting Assistant Surgeon R. j. Perry,
in charge of the medical stores at Key
West, and Surgeon Suddards, investi-
gated the circumstances attending the
reported appearance of yellow fever
there. They found that three deaths
had occurred from yellow fever Of the
most pronounced character; while Of
several other cases the issue was still
doubtful. During the few days that the
fleet remained off Key West no new cases
in the town we're reported.
Surgeon Suddards says: "All this
time, however, strong northeast wind
had been blowing, cooling and purifying
the air. When the hot weather returns
which may be expected from day to day,
| very much fear fresh outburst of the
disease. 1t now only remains to state
the general probabilities Of health and
disease on this station during the sum
mer. | have heard but one opinion ex
pressed. Since early in the winter all
