A QUESTIONABLE RECoRD.-There is
no question that Mr.. Garfield, the cam
drdate Of the Radical party for the Pre-
sidency. has been mixed up in ques-
tionable enterprises, and has been the
subject, along with others, of Congress
sional investigation. His partisan
friends admit this,-yet they claim that
he was innocently drawn into these
complications. not knowing their char
acter. In either case, he is unit to be
President. If, IN several instances, he
money, and did not know it, he is too
innocent and unsophisticated to admin
lister this great Government; If he
knowingly betrayed the people, he is
manifestly not the right man in the
right place. The party of great moral
ideas" has truly an elephant on its
hands.-ETncdstl Herald.

A LUsUs NATURR:-A letter from
Round Hill, Loudoun county, to the
Baltimore Gazette says:-
On the I'd instant an animal was
brought to light in this community IN
which the scientific world will doubt
less take considerable interest. 1t is no
less lusus nature than the offspring of
COW which has only the feet and body
of calf, the balance of its members
being those of dog, It's head, mouth,
nose and ears are precisely like those of
a well bred bulldog. as is also its hair,
which has the peculiar smell Of a puppy,
and its tail which is curved Rnd held up
like dogs. Its legs have the shape
and the peculiar ''set" of bull dogs
and its eyes are popped out to a degree
that would fill the heart of cOnnois-
sear with admiratien, It eats fat meat
and other food that dog would relish,
but drinks milk also. Its mother is a
COW, owned by Mr.. Lunceford, which
had given birth to well developed calves
previously. It was taken from the COW
as soon as discovered, and its owner. in
disgust, gave it to a young man in this
place named Lodge The animal is
creating sensation in this vicinity, and
was visited on Sunday last by people
from all over the county. Its present
owner has been offered 81 900 for it if it
lives to be six months old. 1t is now
about the usual size of calf of its age.

How HANCOCK WAS WOUNDED
General Hancock's wound is thus de-
scribed by Surgeon A. R. Dougherty,
Medical Director of the Second Corps:
81 found General Hancock lying at
the foot of tree with wound in the
groin. Some one had tied a handker
chief around it to arrest tho hemor-
rhage. The wound was just inside the
femoral artery, which it narrowly
missed, and was deep and jagged, as
well as wide enough to admit thumb
and finger, With which I drew out,
much to his surprise, bits of wood
and ten-penny nail. He wondered
if the enemy were filing their shells
with nails, for he did not entertain
doubt that his wound had been
the result of the explosion of shell
which had struck q neighboring fence
rail, some portions of which had ac-
companied the nail into the wound.
This theory, mistaken as it turned out
to be, accepted in the excitement of
the hour, and not feeling anything else
in the wound, concluded that all for
eign bodies had been removed. with
drew the Iigature, which seemed un-
necessary, as the hemorrhage had ceas
ed, and applied the usual congresses
and bandages."
The General was then placed in an
ambulance and taken to the rear, and
afterwards sent on the first train to
Baltimore, and thence TO his home in
Norristown, where, says Surgeon Dough-
erty, lit was not till six weeks after
that the surgeon Sturgeon Lewis w.
Read, U. s. W led by the persistence
of purulent discharge to make o very
careful and minute research with probes.
at length discovered at the depth OF
eight inches and removed a MIME ball.
But at corps headquarters we were pre-
pared for this to some extent, as the
next morning after the battle the Cen
eral McClellan's saddle was found to
have hole directly through the pom
mel. This solved the mystery. The
wood and nail came from the saddle,
and were carried into tho wound along
with the balI.n
