there over the inner surface of tho arm
There was also an unnatural growth of
of the same nature upon one
ankle, the size Of asilver quarter
ter. The whole unnatural condition OF
this arm appears to be an extra growth
or covering, over natural arm.
The line Of demarkation, or the begin
ming and ending Of this strange covering,
is well defined. At the shoulder ana
wrist ltprojects very perceptibly above
the natural skin; and on first seeing it,
one would suppose that if the
extra covering could be removed
Clipped off as glove, a natural arm,
skin and all would remain. I measured
both arms at birth, and fonnd the strange
one to be three-quarte1s of an inch longer
from the shoulder to the elbow than the
natural arm from the elbow to the wrist
they We're near the same length. again
measured the child's arms when one year
old, and found the upper curve of this
singular one one inch longer than the
other, and the hair. had grown to be fnll
one inch long. The hair looks like dog
hair and is thickly set on the outer sur
face of the arp, so much so that the skin
is completely hid from view. As far as I
can discover the child is in every other
respect natural. The child is large,
handsome and very intelligent; in the
enjoyment of good health, aud has the
perfect use of both arms.
/ I shall not now give my theory or
views upon the cause of this singular
freak of nature, as have been, and shall
continue to watch the case closely, and
am studying and investigating the cause
of this Ito all appearance) combination
Of human and dog and after I have fully
investigated the matter, and exhausted
all the resources of information at my
command, expect then to more fully
express my views to my medical brethren
in regard to the cause and nature of this
wonderful being.

He struck a match, remarking that we
had better go off "a few steps,"
We were already going making good
time, too.s He lighted 8 cartridge,
dropped it into the hole, then sauntered
away.
1t did not make as much noise as we
thought it would. There came kind
of heavy bunk in the ground, and the
smoke and dirt few up. But it tore out
pretty large hole, and showed the cay
ote's nest, down in the burrow.
There was den as large as bath
tub, half-fun of dry grass. We could
discover nothing of the cayote ), but we
always supposed the explosion killed the
creature, for we never saw him after.
ward.
Zofe said the idea of blowing out cay
otes came to him one day while he was
making telegraph post-holes, and he had
put aside some cartridges to try the ex-
pertinent with.
We blew out ten or q dozen holes.
At one, the cartridge blew the cayote
out and sent him heels over head in the
air for fifteen or twenty yards. We
picked him up, quite dead.
At some of the other burrows, the
cayotes would dash out, after the blast,
their hair full of smoke and
dirt, and run for life. Ed generally
popped those with a heavy charge Of
deer shot.
!, One IN particular, T remember, which
seemed to clear space of dozen feet
from the mouth of his hole at the first
jump, as if the cartridge had blown him
out. Then he whirled round to look
and sneeze. At that. Ed shot him. & :
If any one has cayotes to kill, this is
more merciful way than poisoning
with strychnine. It is almost certain to
do it's work.

THE PASTORS RESIGNATION.
BY I. EDGAR JONES.

The aged pastor bowed his head within the altar's
railing;
His hands were tremulous with age, his sight and
hearing failing;
Fond faith and trust were striving hard to fight
away his fears,
But yet his heart was sore and sad and sought re-
lief IN tears.
For forty years his tongue proclaimed to all sal
vaton's story,
For forty years to all who came he offered hope OF
glory,
For forty years tho bell that echoed now from out
Proclaimed that here his warning voice had tidings
fo- his people.
But now tho leaders of the church-an influential
clan
Had called hira to yield his PLACE to hold
His energies had long been spent, twas meet lie
should retire
Tha they might call a man of mark endowed with
youthful fire.
With Iuavering voice he gave response to friends
who offered greeting,
And listened in an absent way to members In the
meeting
Dscoursing in familiar tones Of changes they were
making
And asking him to make remarks, although his
heart was breaking.
But yet he spoke-as oft before his voice sglow
with feeling
While down his faded, furrowed face slow tears
were softly stealing,
holy hush pervading all, as though an angel
Had rested them, he rose to bid his flock fare
we'll.
He spoke Of memories sad and sweet, of dim and
distant days,
OF forty years Of constant TOLL of pain and
and praise
OF ohildren-christened by his hand who stood
While some reposed beneath tho flowers upon the
distant hill.
And here his voice sank sad and low-for there lls
We're laid when death had left him lone to live his
laboring life
Far more were they he once had known, who
Than they who sat befor, him now, and DER .their
memories wept.
For all he prayed as fathers plead for children
whom they love,
That all might once again be Joined in Gods sboae
above; ~"
And then, in voice replete with tones Of love and
fond caressing,
He raised his trembling hands sloft and gave to all
his blessing.
Tho saddened people silent sat as he resumed his
chair,
While rays Of sunshine softly fell and played
aud rested there with light caress, as though a
golden chain,
ny wnlch an angel message sought and soothed
him In his pain.
The organ broke the silence then with sweetly SOL
emn roll,
That walled in Of silver song across the sad
dened soul,
With "Rock Of Ages" old, yetnew-majestic, grand,
and strong
Well may the angel choirz above its aulyering
notes prolonR.
he people rose to bo dismissed; their pastor lin
gered still,
And smiling looked upon the graves that crowned
the distant hill;
But when they sought with gentle touch to wake
the musing mind,
hey found that death had called him hence; their
pastor had resigned.

u. THEIEND Of THE WORLD.
A French Scientist Predicts, the End Of Al
Things.

l.
Camille Flammarin, tina French scien-
fist, thus expresses himself in La Coaves-
pondence Sc5entifque regarding the ulti-
mate fate of our globe:
The earth was born ;she will die. She
will die either of old age, when her vital
elements shall have been used up, or
through the extinction of the sun, to
whose rays her life is suspended She
might also die by accident, through COL
lission with some celestial body meeting
her on her route; but this end of the
world is the most improbable of all.
She may, we repeat, die natural death
through the slow absorption of her vital
clements. IN fact, it is probable that
the air and water are diminishing. The
ocean. like the atmosphere, appears to
have been formerly much more consider
able than it is in our day. The terres-
trial crust is penetrated by waters, which
combine chemically with the rocks. 1t
is almost certain that the temperature OF
the interior Of tho globe reaches that
OF boiling water ut the depth OF
about six miles and prevents the
water from descending any lower;
but the absorption will: continue
with the cooling of the globe. The oxy-
gen, nitrogen and carbonic acid which
compose our atmosphere, also appea. to
undergo absorption, but slower. The
thinker may foresee through the mist of
ages to come the epoch yet afar of, in
| which the earth, deprived of the atmos-
! pherical glacial cold OF space by preserv-
ling the solar rays around her, will be-
come, chilled in the sleep of death.
All Henri Vivarz says: "From the sum-
NIT of mountain winding sheet of
snow will descend upon the high plateaua
land the: valleys, driving before it life and
civilization, and masking forever the cit
les and nations that it meets on his pas.

A Story nv Gen. Grant.

Now, as to telling stories, I have no
particular gift in that way. Sometimes,
oonversing about the affairs of the war,
something that is said calls up an anec-
dote or good story where Something
occurred Of a ridiculous, pathetic, anus
ing or illustrative character. I might
tell, if I could happen to think OF them,
of some things that occurred that MIR.
Lincoln told me at times when he visited
me'in the field, and will tell you one
thing that occurred just after the sur
render of Lee at Appomattox. have
often heard the same story attributed to
Mr.. Lincoln in different ways, but this
is the way it occurred. with me: IT
hurried back to Washington with all
haste, to stop the enormous expenditure
the Governmentwas making at that time
in the way of purchases, enlistments
and drafting. While I was not positive
that there would be further hostilities or
any further efforts made on the part of
the rebel armies, yet I. thought it was
not unlikely there would be, and that
it was better to take proper precautions,
so I ordered the army of the James
back to Burke's, station, to remain while
We could go over to Washington and do
as I say stop expenditures that we're
being made. As you all remember, the
authorities in Richmond had taken
flight, and they never stopped till they
got to Danville. Finding we were not
pressing, they did not stop there. Sup
posing I was at Burke's station, Extra
Billy Smith, as he was called, who was
Governor of Virginia at that time, sent
letter through by a flag Of truce to
me, which Gen. Meade received, and,
without letting them know I was not
there, telegraphed to me at Washington.
The letter was to this effect: That he
was Governor of the Commonwealth of
Virginia, and as such he had temporarily
removed the seat of Government from
Richmond to: Danville, and he was de-
sirous of knowing from me whether he
would be permitted to exercise the func-
tons of his office in Danville unmo-
Tested, or, if not, if he and a few friends
would be permitted to leave the country
I was in doubt about the best way to
answer it, when I happened to meet Mr.
Lincoln on the sidewalk, and told him
about it. He supposed I was asking
him for instructions, and his answer was
this: I will tell you,' he said. It's like
an Irishman I once heard of who was in
the habit of drinking whisky. He had
done 80 for a long time. At last he

habit of drinking was strong upon him
