A somewhat extraordinary story Is at pres
ent going the round in medical circles IN En-
land. A certain physician states that on the
eleventh Of February last his wife, while mix
ing some meal for her fowls, missed her Wed-
ding rirlr. and after fruitiess search gave it
no as lost. On the eighth OF April, while eat
ing an egg at breakfast, she felt the spoon
crate against something below the yoik, and
On investigation found her ring fixed by mem
braneous adhesions to the bottom OF tue egg;

times difficult to understand; but freak OF
this kind, it true. even outshines the clever de.
ceptions Of Messrs. Maskelyne and Cooke.

The House at Columbus is pestered
and insulted with petitions, asking them
to adjourn and go home. On Tuesday
Mr.. Booth said such petitions were an
insult to the House. Mr.. Worley claim.
ed they were political documents, and the
House ought to take no notice of them.
Mr.. Williamson, Republican, stated they
came in good. shape, and the House had
no right to refuse them.
1t is very evident that it is a radical
trick, urged on by the very men who OBJ
struct the business of legislation. The
members, generally, are as anxious to
adjourn and get home as these petition
ers can be to have them. The necessary
business disposed of, the General Assem-
bly, will adjourn, which will probably be
about June 1st. The three years labor
and report of the Code Commission was
thrown upon this Legislature for exam
ination, consideration and action. In
industry and work accomplished, the
present Legislature will compare favora-
bly, with it's predecessors.

SEMILITARY INTERFERENCE"
Is a term Mr.. Hayes makes use Of in
his veto of the Army bill, saying the
laws already in force "prevent military
interference at the elections" There
would seem to be difference Of opinion
between Mr.. Hayes and Congress as to
what is meant by military interfer-
ence." As we understand, under the
present statutes the federal executive is
authorized to employ the army aud navy
at voting places on voting days. This
too, at his own behest, contrary to the
plain intent of the Constitution.
The Democrats in Congress do not pro-
pose to prohibit United States Mar
shall from enforcing judicial process,
and if necessary, calling on the bystand-
ers or citizens as a posse to aid him. This
may be done on election day or any
other day, and citizens have a right to
bear arms openly, not concealed. 1t
will be seen, then, that Republicans in
New York or anywhere else, may carry
arms on election day if they choose.
AS we understand, however, the
Democrats in Congress do intend to pro-
hibit any United States Marshal or his
deputy from calling United States troops
to surround voting places. They do in-
tend to have free elections, not inluenc'
ed nor intimidated by bayonets. We
want none of the Napoleonic in ours-no
Russian despot rule here. On this point
we doubt not Congress will stand firm
and unyielding.

Ex.GOv. Seymour has sent the following letter

Utica, April 28, 1879
GENTLEMEN-I have received your letter in re.
! gard 70 political ahgirs. While | am gratifed
with the good will and confidence expressed by
you and by those you represent. | cannot be a
candidate for nomination by the Democratic
State Convention for the Office of Governor,
While there are many objections In my mind to
such action there is one TACT which puts II out OF
the question, Even in the improbable event OF a
unanimous nomination could not accept 1t, as
my impaired health makes II impossible for me
to perform the duties Of any official position, or
! to continue to take an active part in public
! affairs. l regret that fears are felt by any that
controversies will disturb the action of the Dem.
OCIatC party and peril its success, l trust that
| the delegates to the Convention representing
more than half "a million Of voters and their va
ried interests IN every town, county and district
in the state, will lay aside all passions and pTelu.
diCes, and by discreet action secure that control
which think fairly belongs to the party-that
they will not sacrifice the rights of many to the
interests and passions of few. wise policy is
demanded not only by party interests, but by
higher considerations. Political organizations
involve many grave duties and relationships of
citizens to our system of government They are
the OutgTOwth of its genius and are essential to
its success, They array the American people in'
to divisions that lead to discussions and keep
alive intelligence about all things which concern
the general welfare. 1t is. a public misfortune
when personal passions or interests in either Of
the great parties turn attention from questions of
general importance. At no time In the history of
our country has there been greaJer need of calm
thoughtful and patriotic action to arrest the dan
gers Of sectional PASSIONS In view of the serious
questions which now occupy the public mind l
hope the fears you express, that controversies
will bring defeat to the Democratic party, will
prove untounded.
beg you will express to those you represent
my qualification with their kind and partial ex'
preston Of regard to myself.

SCARE OVER A JAGUAR.
The Animal Liberated by Tramp-KilIs Man
and Is Still at Large.

York, Pa, May 2.-Last night after the London
Circus train had left Washington and had ira.
yersed about 80 miles a full sized Brazilian jaguar,
beast more ravenous and fercCioHs than Tiger,
escaped from his cage on a fiat car and bounded
into the woods. The train had stopped TO per
NIT another train to pass, and tramp, who had
secreted himself on the car, opened the cage, al.
lowing the animal It's liberty. About twenty Of
his fellow tramps had been previously elected
from the train, and 1t is supposed he committed
the act for spite. One Of the circus hands saw
him open the cage, but supposed he was one Of
the regular hands.
When the animal escaped the tramp Jumped
from the train, and although pursued by about
twenty men made good his escape. The jaguar
was a powerful animal, and cost 81, 500 two years
ago. He was about five feet long, and naturally
one of the most feTOcious beasts in the menagene.
Early this morning the mangled remains of a
man was found near the Baltimore g. Potomac
railroad 15 miles east of this place. II has not
been asCerained yet whether this is the first vic.
tim of the jaguar or not. The people here are
much excited and have been warned to take all
precautions against an attack. The proprietors
offer $500 for the capture of the beast alive or
for proof of his death. They disclaim any re.
spOnsbiity for loss Of life or damage to farmers
