almost wild with delight, and several
times was ON tDe point Of breaking the
egg to see what kind of q bird he. was
going to have. He restrained himself,
however, and next morning had the sat-
isfaction OF finding in the receiver live
bird of some unknown species, perfect
in itsanatomy, but strange to say, en-
tirely, without feathers.
"This most astonishing result,v re-
marks the paper from which we quote,

LAST Saturday Thomas Plerson, alias
"English Tom,n and Robert Wright, two
men who do not enjoy the best OF

Partridge, and Bunker. They were

When caught Saturday they threw away
IA garnet pin, which, however, was re-

against them was common thieves. This

ARTIFICIAL ANIMAL LIFE.

German Chemist Lays an Egg and Hatches tn
Chicken-It is b orn Without any Clothes on
Great Cackling over the Prodigy.
J. The Church, linton is responsible fo
this story;
1T seems that for more than fourteen
years Prof. Ceiling, of Bruenburg, a
man well known to the literary and sci
entlfic world, had had his attention di
rected to the production of animal lite
by means of galvanism. i.-asa = r.. .g,-l
This was a daring thoughts; but the
Professor, with the zeal and devotion
worthy the old alchemists in whose foot
steps he was following. persevereC
against obstacles that would have dis
c0uraged any man less sanguine thar
himself; and at last has had the satisfac
tion of seeing his patient labors crowned
with success, that will place his name in
the foremost rank of that galaxy oil
bright stars who preceded him in the
great field of discovery. -r sg4
The Professors first experiment was
to hatch chickens from the egg by the
employment OF artificial heat, after the
manner of the Egyptians. In this he was
entirely successful, and perfected q
simple compact apparatus to maintain
BY means Of hot water, an equal tenn
perature for any period OF time.
This being accomplished, he turned his
attention to the production of the egg
This was no easy matter; but after In
Vulnerable experiments, during period
OF ten years, the details OF which Wou uld
fill volume, he succeeded in making q
correct analysis OF an egg. One step
was accomplished; but the most difi.
cult was yet to be taken-the mysterious
combination Of the elements so as to
form compound similar to the natural
article.
Encouraged by his success, the Doctor
set about his almost hopeless task with
a determination to surinount every OBJ
stacle. He felt satisfied that it was only
by means of galyanism that his object
could be accomplished. and directed all
his energies to the construction of a bat
terry Of constant, equal and moderate
power.
After trying nearly every kind Of bat.
terry In use, he had almost begun to de-
spaif, when by accident he learned that
a constant battery OF moderate power
had been constructed in England by
placing p plate Of zinc and a plate OF
copper In an ordinary fiower-pot, and
keeping the earth moistened with am
molia. NJ
He Immediately constructed such a
one. After various modiiications he
succeeded in.adapting 1t TO his purpose !:
and had the satisfaction, after nearly
fourteen years of.almost constant q xper-
iment, ofseeinghis labors crowned With
success, and producing from elements a
substance similaA' in all respects to an
egg.
Now came the exciting period Of his
labors ito see whether the artificialty
formed egg could be hatched by heat.
de placed 1t In hisfhatchlng-oyen, and
watched It through aglaes door almost
constantly, scarcely taking time to eat
or sleep, until he had seen the success

Gov. Hayes interviewed.

A dispatch from Cincinnati, Of the
9th, to the St. Louis Republican, says:
The following interview with Gov.
Hayes, was published this afternoon In
reply to a question by = correspondent,
he said
al think we arc defeated, in spite Of
the recent good news. lam of the opin-
ion that the Democrats have carried the
country, and elected Tilden, as 1T now

doubtful to secure even majority of
one. don't think encouraging dispatch
es ought to be given to the public now,
because they might mislead enthusiastic
friends to bet on the election, and lose
money. l do heartily deprecate such
dispatches"
After pleasantly rallying his friends,
and urging them not to be despondent,
he said:
"I do not think It right to joke over
this matter. do not care for myself );
and the party-yes, and the country,
too--can stand it; but do care for the
poor colored men of the South. do
not fear that business will be greatly dis
turbed by Mr. Tilden's election. Trade

men cannot live there, and will leave,
and immigration into those states will
cease but, as said, before, do pity
the poor black Of the South. The result
will be that the Southern people will
practically treat the constitutional
amendments as nullities, and then the
colored mans fate will be worse than
when he was in slavery, with humane

is the only reason that regret that the

What is a Returning Board :?

There has been good deal said In the
last few days about the returning
board" OF Louisiana, and the public. we
presume. would like to know what a re-
turning board is.
The Louisiana returning board is pc
culiar institution. 1t is composed Of
members appointed by the governor, with
authority to receive, canvass and adjudi-
cate the returns of the votes cast at IN
election, and announce the result. Their
power to adjudicate returns is one not
possessed. we believe. by any other sim
liar body in the Union certainly not by
any similar body in any state In the
North, or in any well governed state in
the South. The Louisiana board do IT
merely conpt the votes received; they
may throw out the votes cast at any pre-
cinct, or any number of precincts. on the
ground of fraud. intimidation or violence
at their discretion, and thus deprive \
lawfully chosen candidate of his certi6.
cate of election, The people Of Nilsson.
ri know something about this business
In 1868 the Republican secretary of state
lawfully constituted himself into a re.
turning board and amplitied his strictly
ministerial duty of counting the votes
sent to him into a judicial authority to
determine the legality of these votes.
Under this assumption OF power he threw
out votes by the Thousand, and sent per
sons to congress and the state legisla-
ture whom the public had not elected.
The Louisiana returning board did =
similar work two years ago, when 1t
threw out enough votes cast for the Dem
ocratic candidates for the Legislature to
give the Republicans majority in that
body--and this wrong President Grant
and Gen. De Trohriand subsequentls rat
ifed with body Of armed men, when
they dispersed the Democratic legisla-
ture and assisted to organize the Repub
lican body. The president Of the re.
turning board in 1874, was |. Madison
Wells. and the president Of the present
returning board is the same person. The
Republican candidate for vice president,
VIM A. Wheeler, was chairman .. q
house committee, sent to Louisiana to
investigate the wrong, and his report de
nounced in indignant terms the partisan
machinery by which lawful votes cast by
the people for one candidate were thrown
out, and his opponent declared elected
The returning board is at work again,
ana strangely enough, they have po wer,
or assume power to adjudicate a presi-
dental election. Their authority is no
longer limited to the state Of Louisiana !;
it has expanded into national dimensions
They may possibly assume to annul the
presidential election, and decide the con.
test in favor of the defeated ticket.
