A QUEER BUT TRUE CHICKEN Story.

} this paper relative to IA peculiarly marke'
hen egg, i'll possession Of MIR. ) ines T.
Dealy, stated to an APPEAL reporter yester
day, that there is nothing wonderful abon
that egg, as chickens, like all other hvin-
beings, frequently mark their young, and re
lated the following instance which cuI
under his observation some time ago: lad ,
of this city, had number Of hens, and
among the lot was one which manifested al
abnormal pre- dlspnsition to occupy her nest,
but, for some reason of her own, the lady
would not permit it; in fact. it was ali she
could do to keep the hen from setting. After
encountering great trouble with the deter
mined hen, the lady tied her, by one of the
legs, to a bush growing i'll the yard, where
she was detained for several days. The hen
MI lie strenuous IF ,rts to free h, rself, always
dragging the secured leg after her, as if it
were broken, far as the length of the
string would permit. This was Witnessed 10y
number of other setting hens; hey would
gather around their liberty deprived sister,
acting if they were perfectly wonder
stricken. A few weeks after this occurrence
one of the hens Matched her eggs, and it
noticed that each of the yonng brood dragged
one of its legs after it when walking. This
peculiarly did not attract much attention at
the time, but when the other hens brought
forth their young, the ma j"rity III each brood
were similarly marked. This may read like
fiction, but The truthfulness Of the statement
is vouched for by gentleman occupying
prominent position in the State government.
A DIsGRAcEFUL ExAIBTIoN.-Last evening
about o'clock Il woman known AS Josephine
Morgan, of gigantic proportions SO tar as the
breadth of beam is concerned, but rather low
i'll stature, called at Thaxters drug store,
Keeling in like an old tar about half seas
over, and said, - Mr.. Thaxter, give me a chew
of snuff I'll pay you i'll the morning" Mr..
Thaxter, with his customary suavity of man
her, took small adle full of the desired art-
Gle out of jar and proceeded to put 1t in
paper for the exhllarated Josephine. She |
put a stop to that proceeding by saying, |
" Never mind that, I'll put it into my
mouth, and into her mouth she did put 1t. |
When she left the store she commenced to
ki * up her heels, and on the street gave vent
to some Very inharmonious hoodlum yells,
attracting the attention of IA large crowd.
I re en-faced strumpet jostled against
every body on the sidewalk, men and women
all alike, and employed language such as the
V -riest houdum would fam use. When she
reached the Ormsby House corner, officer
Stern grabbed her with the intention of lock
ing her up. but upon promising that she
would quietly 90 home, he released her.
This scene was, without exception, the most
dlsgraceful that has been witnessed Oh our
streets for long while. drunken man is
bad enough, but "a drunken woman, ugh

hat they have overstepred their authority,
lasmuch as they have run the county In deb, b
