THE BOY-FISHES OF MORGAN
COUNTY,

Mt. Sterling Ny.) Democrat: Two of
the most marvellous specimens of the
.ge7aatS homo have been discovered in
Morgan county, Ky. They are two boys
named James and Henry Elan, aged
respectively eight and twelve years.
These boys talk nationally, are ordinarily
intelligent, but are peculiar in having no
hair on their bodies and heads. Their
skin is covered with heavy scales like
fish. At the elbow, knees and feot joints
the skin is very thick, resembling the
skin of an alligator. They never per
spire, but turn light blue when they get
heated. They take to water as naturally
as fish, but, strange to say, can't swim.
They dive and crawl along the bottom
with great activity and delight. They
can not walk bare-footed, their feet crack
ing open, but have to wear shoes all the
time. Their eyes are large and round,
not almond-shaped, and the lids are very
red. They meyer wink, and sleep with
their eyes wide open, and are always in
motion when asleep. Their features are
said to be very good and regular. They
have to keep their bodies creased when
not in the water. When the body be-
comes dry the skin cracks open. Their
heads are covered with scales in lieu of
hair. The boys handle snakes with i'm
punity and delight, frequently quarrel
ing over single reptile, but satisfied
when each has one, and snakes have no
antipathy to them, but follow them like
q dog does his master. The mother of
these monstrosities has born eight child
ren. The eldest, daughter of sixteen,
is beautiful of form and features, and
the other children are not at all peculiar.
She cannot account for natures freak in
these cases. They are expected to be in
Mt Sterling shortly, when our scientists
viii have an interesting problem to solve.

CARLOTTA.

Cincinnati Enquirer: The news of the
restoration to reason of poor Carlotta, the
widow of Maximilian, which the "En-
quirer's" cable specials gave yesterday,
will be gratifying information to every
one. 1t is said that she is already so far
recovered that she has been able to take
up the story of events as they occurred
while she and her husband were playing
bhndly at the game of Imperialism here
on the Western Continent, and that her
narrative, so far as it has been written,
gives much that was hitherto unknown
to the world of that lurid tragedy. There
are few chapters in the history of the
Western world that will be read with
greater interest in the future than the
short one in which Maximilian's name
occurs as the chief figure. There are
few tragedies in the history of the entire
world which viii stand out as coldly as
did his death. There are no sadder stor-
les in modern history than that of the
sorrow Of his loving wife. her distraction,
and her long night ofs absolute blank.
With her it was the aftermath of great
and consuming sorrow, and fox more
than ten years she has held her Court an
insane Queen, the pity of the entire
civilized world. Her entire restoration
to reason, which is now confidently ex-
pected, viii be pleasurable news to every
one.

The Union Stock yards at Chicago
occupy $50 acres of ground, and cost
nearly s5,0O0,OO0. They are the most
extensive of any on the continent, and
probably on the globe. They have 1000
cattle pens, 1900 hog and sheep pens,
and stabling for 1,200 horses. Fifteen
hundred cars of stock can be unloaded
and cared for daily. Their repairs cost
about $50, 900 annually, and it requires
about 700 men constantly employed in
and about the yards to do the work re-
quired. They will accommodate 10000
cattle 10000 hogs, 5000 sheep, and
200 horses at one time.

A Pregnant Point.

EDITOR HERALD: The Supreme
Court of the United States, now In
session in Washington City, has
decided that a mortgage can only
be taxed in the county or State in
which the owner of the mortgage
resides, and that mortgage can
not be taxed to O nonresident. The
practical outcome of our new Con-
stitution in this connection seems
to be, that foreign and nonresident
mortgage holders will pay no tax
at all, and that our citizens will
have to pay the mortgage tax. The
worst feature of this muddle is that,
If the amount of a mortgage is to
be deducted from the assessable
property of the mortgagor, Los An
geles county will, by this decision,
lose two million dollars of taxable
property; and, consequently, our
tax rate will be proportionately in
creased. San Francisco capitalists
and savings institutions being the
owners of those mortgages, they
will be the gamers and aug
ment their taxable property in pro-
of the Legislature of the several
counties ought to lose no time in
preparing the necessary legislation
on this tax question, which ought
to be acted upon as soon as the leg
islature has assembled and is ready
for business. eI. w. ii.

Considerations Of Population and
Territory.

EDITOR HERALD: If you will al
low me these few "last Words" i
will offer them, in the desire, if
possible, of throwing some addi-
tional light on q subject which,
there is no doubt, will very soon be
of great public interest.
My communication of yesterday
was written ON general principles,
and with no inside knowledge of
any speclli' plan of annexation of a
part or the whole of Mexico. AS /
understand your editorial COM
ments, the plan to which you have
referred, as chronicler of public
events, contemplates the annexa-
tion OF the States of Lower Califor-
mia, Sonora, Durango, Sinaloa and
Chihuahua. According to the last
edition of Appleton's New Cyclic
p@dia, Lower California contains
81, 500 square miles, with popula-
tion of q, ,645; Sonora, 81, ,022 square
miles, population 109,3S9; Durango,
42,643 square miles, population
1907; Sinaloa, 25,927 square
miles, population 163,095; Chihua-
hua, l05,275 square miles, popula.
tion, $50 900; making a grand total
of 3l2, 1897 square miles, with pop
ulation of less than seven hundred
thousand. This is nearly twice the
area of all France, which contains
only 204,09l square miles. France
has SO, 900, 900 Inhabitants.
The five States included above
are nearly half of all Mexico, that
country having but 761,6fo .quare
miles, all told. TO take those five
States first, and then stop awhile,
would, of course, bs "a good "start-
er." But it would oAly be making
"two bites of cherry" after all.
AS to Alsace and Lorraine, to
which you refer Ivy way of illustra-
tion, 1T may surp ise many to learn
that Alsace only Quoting again
from Appleton's Cy clop@dia) con-
tains 3.l75 square miles and Lor-
raine 2,400 square miles. Both to-
gether are not as big as Los Ange-
les county. Besides, both these
provinces were once before part of
Germany, and were taken from
that country by France, by force of
arms, some two hundred years ago,
and Germany has claimed them
ever since.
But, to return to the subject in
hand, the logic of events Is being
unfolded by obvious destiny; and
whether the present plan is to OBJ
tain control of five or ten States to
begin with, the telegraph, the rail-
road, and the modern spirit of pro-
gress, will soon do their work, and
the virgin fields to the south of us
will yield to the magic touch of civ
lllzation. ANNEXATIONIST.

The celebrated Beau Nash, in the
early history of England, and the
no less renowned Beau Brummel,
in the reign of George w., proved
that good clothes are often the
making of man. Aided only by
the fact that they knew how to
dress, they lived on the fat of the
land. Had they lived in Los Ange-
les, in these days, they would have
bought their clothes at the store of
the urbane l.. Harris, No 63 Main
street. By dealing with this enter
prising trader the male public are
not only sure of goods of the best
quality but they have guarantee
that the price will be surprisingly
low. Elegant style and durability
are what Harris aims at in his pur-
chases, and his customers are cer-
tain to get the benefit of his tact
and judgment.

Strong Minded Suggestions.

EDITOR HERALD: / suppose the
safety of our country is now fully
secured since we have elected such
an effective city government; and,
with the late refreshing showers
added, to increase the growth of our
prosperity, we may say that we
are now beyond the fears of any re-
lapse. Mr.. O. Fl. Bliss is man
that sees visions and receives
dreams from beyond; and thus, in
spired by the spirit of the i'm mortal
Machiavelli, the departed italian
statesman, he will prove, in the
hands of the immaculate Work.
man and Beck,a most effective
officer In the Council. Mr.. II.
Schumacher is man with great
moral force, though rather dwarf
ish in his physical frame, yet, L
think, with the small expense to
the city of q high chair for him to
sit on, and few hoops to prevent
his bursting from an overflow of
explosive gas, he will make an in.
vulnerable warrior in the ranks of
our City Dads. Again, we have
DIR. Lindley, who has strenuously
labored, for whole year, to i'm
prove the sanitary condition of our
city, now elevated to take charge
of the education of our children,
and this is worth something, you
know. Now, it appears to me that
the qualifications to fill an office
run in this family. The Doctors
father is going to take charge of
our county funds for the next two
years, so we are safe on that score.
But there is one still left-the Doc
tors mother is not yet in Office.
Now, as the Doctor is the Health
Officer, l would suggest the ap.
pointment of the lady to take
charge of the Pesthouse, and thus
she can cooperate with her son In
ameliorating the sufferings of poor
invalids, thus allowing ell the fam
lily to have an office.
