DAVID DUDLY FIELD FOR CON
GRESS.

II is said that the democrats of the
seventh district Of New York have pre-
vailed upon the distinguished lawyer
MIR. David Dudly Field, to become a
candidate for Congress to fill the vacancy
to be caused by the resignation of Hon.
Smith Ely, recently elected mayor of
New York. 1t is known that Mr.. Field
voted for Gov. Hayes, but that he is con
WINGED lthat Mr.. Tilden has beer
legally elected, and that he will 90 to
Congress for the purpose of maintaining
this point in any questions which may
arise before that body.

1t is now said that Grant has been
piled with whiskey by the Radicals for
several days, and instead of keeping his
word TO recognize the legal legislature of
South Carolina, may be induced to '.drive
Wade Hampton and his friends out OF
Columbia at the point Of the bayonet.'
Let him drive, his end is nigh.

The Louisiana Count

From the New York Herald. Ind.
So complete a reversal of the result
thrown on the face Of the returns could
only be justiiiable on the clearest proof Of
such gross frauds in counties giving Dem
ocratic majorities as to convince all i'm
partial judges that nothing like fair cl-
ection lad been held in such counties.
Certainly the evidence brought before the
board in its open sessions established no
such fact.

Now that Tilden has received the rc-
quisite 1876 indisputable votes in the cleo

all the federal Office holders and republi-
can organs will change their views rs to
the power of Congress to go behind the
returns. They willn demand that the
vote of Oregon be Investigated.

Judge Jere Black has written an able
letter to the Washington Union, in which
he discusses in the light of principle and
precedent, the duties Of Congress in the
counting of the electoral vote He says:
1.-THE right, power and duties Of the hou-
ses is to count the true votes of theStatcs,
only, which of course covers and includes
the duty of rejecting false votes from
their count, if it be known that spurious
votes had been placed among them by
accident or design" This is manifesily
sound and sensible.

Constitution Members.

The Radicals are great Constitution
members. Whenever they can't succeed
in cheating under the Constitution with
out being caught they propose an amend
ment. Under new party affinities and
names they have robbed the treasury and
the States and the people of the States.
There Is no mistake about this they are
the same men who broke up the Wing
party because they could not get hold of
it; and whenever they did get hold Of the
government they commenced to steal /;
and to cover their robbery by amend
ments 10 the Constitution. They now
propose TO steal the Presidency for four
years and to cover that by an amendment
to the Constitution to prevent its being
done hereafter by any other party. Now
there is no use in this. The man that
will steal will lie and in four years the
same party that is seeking to amend the
Constitution would swear that it was
not TO prevent their stealing the game in
some other way, which way they would
be sure to seek out. Charge thief with
stealing sheep out of the stable and he
may protest that he is innocent as babe
Of that charge, simply because he took it
cut Of the yard.
Mr.. Morton's proposition to amend
the Constitution comes too late. The
election Of Tilden and Hendricks Presi-
dent andVice- President shows clearly that
the Electoral College cannot now be i'm
proved; and that cheating under it is too
difficult to be accomplished-that to de-
feat one candidate and ''count in" an
other under it all laws must be set aside.
Mr.. Morton wants an easier mode than
this. 1t is too risky and requires men
who had been already stepped in crime
TO such degree as to be outlaws; char
acters who could not find place in any
other party, and who had been denounced
by men Of all parties for relessness in
yillsinies. The United States COnstitu-
tion does not rest the election of Presi-
dent and Vice President in the hands of
negro returning boards, and when Mr.
Tilden issues his first Message on the
convening ofnext Congress, he will doubt
less show the people the defects that ex-
ist in the present system, ifthcre are any,
and propose proper mode and remedy.

Nothing in Scriptural illustration has
been provocative of so much interest as
the parable of "The Prodigal Son."
This story is so natural and true to life,
as we every day see it. The sinking
into almost hopeless depths of degrade
tion and sin of the out-cast boy after a
few days of riotous life; the returning
sense of shame; the relighting once more
of the "Spark of manhood" within his
bosom the penitential return and open
armed forgiveness of the sorrowing but
now glad father, is an old, old story-too
often, however, in this day of the world
ending with the "Second Chapter
the sting and bitterness of death the
only atonement. Our premium picture
illustrates the riotous life of "The Prod
igal," as copied from the grand original
painting destroyed by fire at Cincinnati,
in the winter of this year. All of our
patrons should secure it.

A Wonderful Case Of Malformation which
Puzzles the Doctors.

The attention of medical scientists in
this vicinity has. for the past two or
three days, been quite absorbed in the
study of one of the most peculiar NAL
formations of the human form ever seen.
On Monday or Tuesday last the wife of
a wealthy gentleman in this city gave
birth to full-term female child of about
eight pounds weight, and, with two or
three exceptions, as perfectly formed and
developed as any infant. Were it not
for the fact that nature never makes a
mistake, and only appears to have done
so when obstructed or over-balanced by
foreign influences, the formation of this
child might be termed, as such things
often are, "a curious freak of nature"
This child had no nose or eyebrows, nor
was there any depression in the face in
the natural place for eyes. 1t had only
one eye, and that was located directly
in the center of the forehead. The
mouth was small, the lips finely cut,
and the ears, feet, hands and limbs were
of good proportions. The head above
the eye sloped backward like that of an
Aztec, and the back of the Uranium was
well covered with fine brown and curly
Hdif. III Ohc icspcCt tic Chiiu was near
ly as fully developed as an adult.
The infant lived about five hours, and
after its death the body was intrusted
to Undertaken Tinkham for burial.
While in his charge it was viewed
by several professors and students from
Harvard College, and on Saturday DIR.
Folsom, from the Massachusetts General
Hospital, assisted by other physicians
from the same institution, took a plas-
ter cast of the body. Medical men pro-
nounce it one of the most curious NAL
formations known to the profession, and
they can give no physiological reasons
for the peculiar deviations from the
course of nature. To those who have
read Homer's description of Polyphemus,
in Sicily, having but one eye, and that
a son of Neptune, and one of the Cyclops
in the center of his forehead, the pecu-
liar formation of this child may suggest
that its mother had been reading the
Iliad, and her mind had become deeply
impressed with the exaggerated picture
of the one-eyed monster.

Didn't Stand the Test.

Chicago Tribune: A young man read
in the Ledger few days ago that if you
wanted to find out if the woman YOU
had selected for your future spouse has
good temper, you ought to take occa-
sion to step on her dress, or snap the
sticks of her fan, or in some other way
annoy or discompose her. eff" said the
great authority who presided over the
column of advice, ." if she betrays no
signs of ill-temper she will prove a
model wife," Accordingly the young
man seized an opportunity when his
sweetheart was rugged in her most kill
ing array to step on her trail and pulled
out about three yards of gathers, with a
rip like peal of thunder, exposing
about three-quarters of the frame work
that makes her dress stick out behind.
But, instead of meeting the accident
with perfect equanimity, she turned
round and jabbed her parasol into his
eye, called him lunk headed leper,
and asked him why he didn't wear his
feet sideways. He expressed himself as
thankful that he didn't marry the girl
before finding out what sort of temper
she had

French System Of Slaughtering Beeves.

The forming of societies for the pre-
vention of cruelty TO animals marks
tide of public feeling averse to the in
Fiction in needless pain on the lower
animals. Some have to spend their lives
in our service, and these deserve con-
stantly kind treatment in return for the
labor they perform; even when unto
ward and fierce, it has been proved that
mildness effects more than violence or
compulsion. a Rarey tames by gentle
ness horse that no violence could subdue.
Where animals must serve as our
food, humanity and regard for the
general health require them to be taken
to the shambles, so as not to overhead
them and inflame the blood and to dis
patch them in such way as to cause
instant death and prevent long lingering
torture, which must exercise an iniuri-
Gus effect on the flesh as food.
A method of slaughtering food ami
mails has been devised in France, at the
new abattoirs of La Villette, which
must challenge the attention of every
friend of dumb beasts. A mask is
placed over the head, covering the ewes.
In the forehead is placed metallic plate
fitted with sharp spike. The killing
is done by the butcher striking this spike
with heavy hammer, thus piercing the
brain and causing instant death.

Alexander Hamilton.

HAMILTON was once applied to for
professional assistance by a man of New
York city, who held the guardianship
of several orphan children. These chill
dren, then very young, would, on COM
ing of age, if they had their rights, sue
coed to the possession of large and
valuable estate. In the title deeds of
this estate the guardian had discovered
material defects, and he thought he saw
way, with the assistance of an able
lawyer, by which he could secure the
title to the whole property to himself.
He opened to Hamilton the whole BUSH
ness, exhibiting copies Of the title deeds,
and explaining how he would like to
proceed. He promised to the great jur-
list a large reward if he would undertake
the business. Hamilton said he must
give to matter so important, due
thought before he decided, and set
time for his client TO call again.
The guardian called according to APP
pointment. Hamilton put in writing
the minutes of their conversation, which,
upon his second visit, he read aloud.
81 think" said Hamilton, when he
had finished reading, "that this is true
statement of your plans?"
Eyes, sir" answered the client.
"That is correct And now, if / may
ask, what have you decided ?"
81 will tell you, sir" replied Hamil-
ton, sternly; "you are now completely
i'm my power, and / consider myself as
the future guardian of those upfortu-
nate orphans. l have decided that you
will settle with them honorably, to the
very last penny, or l will hunt you from
the surface of the earth !"
1t may be unnecessary to add that the
false-hearted guardian did not pursue
his nefarious scheme any further.
