The Potter investigating committee
spent the most of its time yesterday in
examining Gen. Smith, appointment
clerk for the Treasury Department, as
regards the nature of the recommends
tions filed with him in behalf of An
derson's appointment to a place under
the Government. Nothing new was
ELECTED except the fact that the papers
proved conclusively that Anderson
wanted something better than Mat
thews thought he deserved for his SER
vices to the party. From this we are
led to infer that Anderson's aid, by
fraud or otherwise, in electing anybody
to the Presidency didn't amount to
much after all.

4 Missouri Snake-st0ry.

Mr.. Snodgrass, who for many years
was grocery merchant of this city, but
who has for number of years past re-
sided about ten miles east Of Independ-
enee, was out on his farm a few days
ago, when he saw huge serpent coiled
up in a fence corner. Not daring to at
tack it with an ordinary weapon, he went
to his house, and, loading his shotgun
with heavy charge of buck-shot, he
returned to the place where the enemy
of mankind still held the fort, and, open
ing fire, succeeded in killing it. The
dead serpent was weighed and pulled
the scales at 125 pounds, and had AZ rat
ties attached to it. This is undoubtedly
the largest serpent ever killed in this
section of the country, and may be
cIassed among the boa-constrictor tribe
The skin of the reptile has been stuffed,
and will be on exhibition at our forth,
coming Exposition. - Kansas Gig

An Old Crime Recalled.

The death of Jane Cunningham, q
pauper patient at Bayview Asylum, at
the age of 73 years, says Baltimore
paper, ends a somewhat remarkable Ca
reer, and recalls startling tragedy OF
50years ago. in which she figured prom
inently as "the woman in the case -
Sheriff Swearinger, of Washington
County, a young man of wealth and
high social position, had just taken to
his residence beautiful bride, when he
met by accident Miss Cunningham, then
charming and accomplished girl of 10
1t was case of mutual love at first
sight. A criminal intimacy followed,
knowledge of which finally came to the
ears of the young bride. Shortly after
this, Swearinger, while horseback rid
iug with his wife, asked permission to
leave her for a few minutes. She re-
fused to grant the privilege, and after
upbraiding him for his intimacy with
Miss Cunningham, threatened to follow
him if he left her side. Finding her in
earnest, and anxious to free himself from
the alliance, he hurled her from the
horse, and she fell to the ground
a corpse. The killing occurred
in Allegheny County. He threw
the body among some rocks
and mutilated the horse, to convey the
impression that the animal had fallen
and killed its rider. This theory was
at first accepted, and the murdered
woman was buried from her husbands
home, he appearing in the role of chief
mourner. Suspicion was subsequently,
excited, and threats of an official inves-
tigation prompted the murderer to fly
from the State, taking his paramount
with him. He was pursued, arrested in
New Orleans, returned to Allegheny
County, convicted of the crime purely
on circumstantial evidence, and hanged
at Cumberland. On the scaffold he
confessed the crime. Miss Cunning
ham lived the life of prostitute in the
South for many years until her beauty
faded, and nearly quarter of century
ago she came to Baltimore, and, becom-
ing insane, went to an asylum and re-
covered. Being without friends or
means, she then entered the City Aims
house, and for many years has been a
devout and protesting Christian. She
was connected with some of the leading
families of Western Maryland, and was
a woman of education, culture, bril-
liancy and beauty.

A Bashful Young Man.

This morning a strong, healthy-look-
ing young man entered the County
Clerks Office and gazed respectfully
around. Harry Thomson, the chief
deputy, stepped up and blandly inquired
of the stranger if he wished any bust
ness transacted.
The young man when spoken to start
ed back as though dreading an assault,
but he soon recovered himself and said
in whisper:
"Yes, sir called to see-I want to
have a little talk-how much is it, any
howP"
He had soft cloth hat in his hand,
and kept turning and twisting it about
as he spoke; his face had grown terribly
red, and big drops of perspiration were
standing on his brow.
What is it you wantP" asked the
Clerk.
The man looked at him pleadingly,
but struggled in vain for utterance. His
eyes bulged out, his face grew redder,
and the veins in his neck and on his
forehead swelled till they looked like
great knotted cords. He twisted the
hat convulsively, and then Strengthened
it out again, and then he pulled the new
lining out of it, and dropped it on the
floor Then he picked it up all dusty
from the floor and wiped his steaming
face, leaving dirty streak after each
wipe. Finally, it seemed as though the
poor young man had quite recovered
himself, for he looked cheerfully around
the room, and then turning to Mr..
Thompson, remarked in pleasant and
confidential tone:
"Well, it is real warm for this sec
ton, isn't it?''
Every warm, indeed" replied Mr..
Thompson
cit is good deal hotter
than we have it down in the valley, and
somehow I've alway had just the other
notion about it-that the higher up you
got the cooler"
eyes," said Mr.. Thompson, shut
about that business of yours?"
Another fiery blush that looked as if
it would scorch the collar off his neck
followed this remark, but the stranger
held up bravely. He leaned on the desk
in an easy careless sort of way, and be-
gan to toy with mucilage brush.
"The fact of the matter is that | want
ed to-
Here he paused again and meditative-
ly damned the mucilage brush into the
ink-stand.
"What the devil are you doing with
that brushP" asked the clerk somewhat
impatiently.
"Oh, by George mel" SIAM
mered the man as he withdrew the brush,
scattering the ink all over the clerks
shirt bosom, and, as if it had been mo-
lasses dripping from his fingers, thrust
the brush into his mouth, daubing him
self with ink and mucilage, and then
bolted from the Office.
"That's about the worst case l have
SEEM" remarked Mr.. Thompson, as he
wiped big ink-spot from the starboard
side of his Roman nose.
Crazy as bedbug," said Alderman
Orndorf, who had been an interested
spectator of the whole scene. you
ought to send policeman after that
man.
"No, he's not exactly crazy" replied
Thompson; 81 knew from the start that
he wanted a marriage license, and l
thought I'd have little quiet fun, but
he's broke the line now and gone of
with the hook. Virginia (NeU.)

A Big.Headed Boy.

George Albert Page is the name of a
remarkable boy, who lives with his
mother in small frame house a short
distance south of Lakeport, n. Y, lit
tie hamlet near Oneida Lake. He will
be fourteen years old on the fifteenth day
of January, 1879, and is perfectly form
ed, with the exception of his head, which
is of enormous size. 1t measures twenty
eight inches in circumference, eleven
inches from the front to the back, nine
inches across, eighteen and half inches
from ear to ear, over. The forehead is
four and one-half inches high and the
face ten and one-half inches long. The
head, which is twice as large as that of
the average person, is covered with
black hair. Another singularity IS the
eyes; they are inverted, and he can on
ly look up. He can not see any thing
below the level of his eyes. The lid that
closes over the eye, instead of being the
upper one, as is generally the case, IS
the lower one. The face otherwise pre-
sents no unusual appearance. The boy
is five feet one inch in height, and weighs
about eighty pounds. He is in per-
fectly healthy condition, and eats regu-
larry and in large quantities. After each
meal ne smokes, and would practice the
habit continually were he allowed to do
so. He was three years old before he
could raise his head, and five years old
before he could stand on his feet. From
his infancy until nearly six years old he
was almost a skeleton In form, but now
he is nearly as well developed as an or
binary boy of his age. In consequence
of the strange position of his eyes, he has
never been able to acquire any learning,
and does not know the letters of the al
phabet. He is, however, quite apt, and
is quick to catch the meaning of any
thing spoken within his hearing, but cau
not express himself, and, invariably asks
his mother what to say. His head, which
is very heavy, increases in dimension:
as he advances in age; and when he
reaches maturity will probably be one
half larger than at present. Here is ar
opportunity for an enterprising show
man.-An6xTnSan

A Virginia Tragedy.

A recent dispatch from Richmond,
Va, says: The neighborhood of Turkey
Cove, in Lee County, has been thrown
into great state of excitement by a
fatal affray, in which well known ladies
were participants. Yesterday Mrs
John Reason, a handsome lady, had a
quarrel with a young woman named
Jane Shuler, daughter of one of Mr.
Reasons tenants, who procured water
from Mr.. Reasons spring. They sep
arated, but later in the day met again
at the spring and resumed hostilities
Mrs. Reason began throwing stones at
Miss Shuler, when the latter sent back
a heavy one at Mrs. Reasons head, fell
ing that lady to the ground in an insens-
ible condition. Miss Shuler, thinking
she had killed her antagonist, fled in
terror, but was overtaken by Sheriff
Scott and brought back. She escaped
a second time, and reached Harlan
County, KY. She was captured and
brought back this morning. About II
O'Clock to-day party of Miss Shuler's
friends gathered for the purpose of res
cuing that young lady from the hands
of the Constable As they advanced,
Constable Olinger ordered them to stop.
They continued to advance. The Con-
stables party fired, and Samuel Simp-
son was struck in the abdomen and
killed He was lover of Miss Shuler.
Mr.. Olinger and Mr.. Reason are under
arrest, charged with the murder.
