The Prediction of the Goose.BOne.

Though cold Prob.," as wheather
prophet, appears to give universal satis-
faction, the farmers of Kentucky will
not relinquish their faith in the predic-
ton of the goose-bone. 1t is consulted
regularly, and the farmers prepare to
handle their crops in accordance with
its predictions. AS heegoose-bone was
formerly regarded as a prophet of great
accuracy in many parts of New England,
it will, perhaps, be of interest to know
how to read its predictions. We must
take the breastbone of a last springs
goose none other will do, for the
prophecy does not extend beyond the
year in which the goose is hatehed. 1t
must be divided into three parts, which
represent the three divisions of the
winter. The breastbone of goose is
translucent, but at places has cloud-like
blots upon it. These blots denote cold
weather. The goose bone of this year
denotes that our coolest weather will
come about the middle of February,
and our warmest fires will be required
for the first days of spring.

OF education, or OF wealth cannot be
produced by human institutions. In
the full enjoyment of the gifts of
heaven and the fruits of superior in
dustry, economy and virtue, every man
J is equally entitled to protection by law.
But when the laws undertake to add to
these natural and just advantages arti-
tclal distinctions, to grant titles, gratui-
ties and exclusive privileges-to make
; the rich richer and the potent more
powerful humble members of so-I
ciety, the farmers. mechanics and la
borers, who have neither the time nor
the means of securing like favors to
themselves, have g. right to complain
+ OF the injustice of their Government.
There are no necessary evils in gov
ernment. Its evils exist only in
its abuses. If 1T would = confinel
itself to equal protection, and, as
heaven does its rains, shower its favors
alike on the high and the low, the rich

5blessing.S Nor is our Government to
be maintained or our Union preserved
by invasion of the rights and powers of
the several States. In thus attempting
! to make our General Government
strong we make it weak. Its true
strength consists in lea wing individuals

selves; in making itself felt, not in its
power, but in its benefcence; not in its

binding the States more closely to its

Betrayal and Death.

The New York Sun tells the following
sad story: Some months ago young
man named George Youngs went to
Bath, Pa, from Schenectady. He was
a printer and was handsome and intelli-
gent. Alice Beers, beautiful girl,
daughter of prominent citizen of the
place, fell in love with Youngs. The
pair desired to marry, but the girls par
ents refused to consent to the match.
Youngs and Miss Beers ran away. They
returned next day, and Youngs ex-
hibited marriage certificate bearing
the signature of clergyman of Bing-
hamton, N. Y. The girls parents re-
ceiyed her and her husband to prevent
scandal. A week or two ago it was
rumored in Bath that Youngs had q
wife and child in Schenectady. His
Bath wife was given good evidence
of the fact, but she refused to believe it.
A gentleman of Bath went to Bingham
ton to investigate the marriage there.
He found that the clergyman's signature
to the marriage certificate was forged,
and that the ceremony Youngs had per-
formed was a mock ceremony at a dis
reputable house, boon companion of
his having personated the clergyman.
When the news was carried to the young
wife she fell to the floor dead, Youngs
fed, and no trace of him has yet been
found. He has wife and two children
in Schenectady. EEFT gDet IHl ViGSf1I

Journalism in Paris.

They have peculiar way of carrying
on journalism in Paris. A printer leases
large building, in which he puts down
steam engine and several presses. A
capacious room, centrally situated, is
set apart for the compositors, and offices
in various parts of the establishment
are placed at the disposal of the editorial
stats of the journals that are printed on
the premises. Some of these papers
may have their own compositors and
their own types-that is a matter of ar
rangement; but everything is set up in
the common room and printed on the
landlords printers presses As the
compositors of the various journals are
only separated from each other by i'm
aginary divisions, awkward accidents
occasionally befall. In the hurry of
going to press, or in the dim light
French composing rooms being rarely
fitted up with gas), it sometimes happens
that copy" goes Sstray, or paragraphs
get mixed and the reader of a Clerical
Legitimist organ may be Mortified at
seeing in the columns of their favorite
and highly respectable paper part of q
ranting Republican or gliding Voltarian
article, originally written for its free
thinking cotemporary, which, though at
the opposite pole of politics and theology,
is edited in the next room and printed
on the same press. ..ef.-f~ aaE:sref

The Mysterious Mountain.
[Arizona Herald.l


Some excitement is being created
among the Mexican population of Phe-
nix, by the story of a Mexican who ar
rived last evening from the Reno Noun
tains. He came into town under cover
of darkness, as he was nearly naked.
His hands and feet were torn and bloody
and his face gashed in fearful manner.
His story was told with the air of man
had not recovered. With companion
.he started out Prospecting about a
month ago, going up Salt River. They
left the river when opposite the Super
stitious Mountain. Their prospecting
began at this point. While climbing
up the mountain in little gully,
through black sand, and down which
stream of water had evidently passed
years ago, they we're astonished to find
that in this sand were large quantities
of fine gold. The gold, in pieces the
size of bean or smaller, was found in
the little assures in the face of the bed
rock. Very little washing was neces-
sary; and they found a little spring of
water which furnished them what they
needed. They obtained, they think,
about 5000 worth in half days work.
About 2 o'clock in the afternoon they
were surprised to see an Indian woman
come to the top of the gulch above the
spring and start to come down. Upon
seeing them she ran back over the hill.
In less than ten minutes they were sur
prised by fifty or sixty savages. The
Indians were very small and seemed to
be of a different nature than they had
ever seen in Arizona. The Mexicans
were not armed, except with knives,
and the survivor says they were almost
instantly caught with lariats. The In
dians took them up a mountain
and put them In a'ieave. They tor
tured and killed his companion, and his
fate would have been the same but for
his escape. He succeeded in getting
away with only few knife gashes on
his face. They lost their gold with all
their outfit. The Indians seemed to be
cave-dwellers and were evidently ex-
cited over the place being found by out
siders. For the benefit of non-residents
we will say that Superstition Mountain
derives its name from the fact that no
white man has ever been seen again who
attempted its ascension 1t is tradi-
ton among the Mexicans that large de-
posits of free gold are to be found in its
gulches and ravines. It is not known
whether there is any water there or not.

A Reasoning Sheep.

The Groton an. LY.1 Journal relates
the following story, which certainly goes
far to prove that a sheep can do some
close thinking: GA. 81. Clark has a
sheep which, during the summer, was
pastured with SOME calves in an apple
orchard adjoining the house. There
were several trees in the orchard well
loaded with early fruit, the trees being
about six inches in diameter. One
evening Mr.. Clark heard considerable
noise in the orchard, and, upon investi-
cation, found the sheep and calves
quietly eating apples under one of the
trees. In few minutes all the apples
were eaten, when, to his surprise, he saw
the sheep back off several yards and
then butt the tree with full force, bring
ing down a quantity of fruit. This the
animals proceeded to eat as before, and
when the supply gave out the sheep re-
plenished it as before. This was con-
tinued at Intervals. So persistent was
the sheep il his novel mode of tree
shaking that Mr.. Clark was obliged to
protect the trees, lest the continual
bruising of the bark should cause per-
manent injury.pa t.sfisF9s sEf4t3

Club,


GENTLEMEN: I regret that I shall
not be able to attend your dinner on
Jan. 8, in commemoration of the SER
vices of Andrew jackson, not SO much
in the great victory by which he res
cued the southwestern part of our coun-
try from the foreign invader as in the
example of an administration of the
Government on its true principles.
While he maintained the integrity of
the country against the public enemy,
and suppressed notification and seces-
sion at home, he was opposed to usurpa-
tion of powers by the Federal Govern
ment in, derogation OF, the rights of in
dividua1s or localities, and in violation
of the constitution On one memora-
BILE occasion he said: E%It is to be re-
gretted that the rich and powerful too
often bend the acts OF government to
their selfish purposes. Distinction in
society will always exist under every
Just Government. Equality of talents,

il became necessary for Capt. Gotten to

which line was just outside of the

The owner of the property happened to
be away from home at the time, and his
wife was the custodian of the manor.
She discovered that something unusual
was going on, as to the nature of which
she had not been informed, and about
which her permission, it seems, had not
been asked. Imagining that a trespass
was being committed, she brayely went
t out to the spot, armed with double
barreled shotgun, and ordered the engi-
ueer and his assistants away. Capt.
Gotten. who, by the way, is genial and
courteous gentleman, undertook to ex-
plain his presence there, and the object
he wished to accomplish but the lady
declined to accept his explanation, de-
claring in a positive and determined
manner that she did not intend to have
the farm parceled out. into 80 acre"
lots. The Captain hesitated, hoping to
be able to make his presence and his
motives understood, but he was again
ordered to leave-and that Immediately
with an intimation from the lady that
though shewas not in the last war. she
would be in this, if he did not move
forthwith. The Captain quickly per-
ceived that it would be wise in him to
go, and retired with the best grace possi-
BILE under the circumstances. 'Snbse-
quently, however, thelobject of the visit
Of the officers was explained TO the lady
by some of the neighbors, and the sur
| vey was allowed to proceed. The mis-
4 apprehension under which the lady
labored was very natural one and she
manifested remarkable courage and de-
cision under the circumstances. Our

the Southern ladies are not only the
ifairest and gentlest, but the brayest in
the world.

Blind Tom.

q Blind Toms birthplace is in Georgia,
and he began to excite attention as
musician at the age of four years All
sounds afforded him delight; even the
crying of child caused him to dance
home he often bit his brothers and sis
ters to make them emit, cries of pain.
If kept away from a piano, he would
beat against the wall, drag chairs about
the room, and make all sorts of noises.
When in London a flute was'produced
for him, of very complicated pattern,
and having twenty-five keys. He fre-
quently rises up at night and plays this
Instrument, initiating upon it all sorts
of sounds which he may hear at the
time. Once, when the agent attempted
to make him stop playing piano in
high-toned hotel, at three O clock in the
morning, Tom seized him and threw
him through the door. In Washington,
he threw man down stairs who came
into his room, When at, home, in
Georgia, he lives in building about
two hundred yards from the house, and
there remains alone with his piano,
playing all day and night, like one pos
sessed with madness. Bad weather has
no effect upon his music. In cloudy,
rainy. seasons, he plays sombre music
in minor chord; and, when the sun
shines and the birds sing, he induiges
in waltzes and light music. Sometimes
he will hammer away for hours, produc
ing the most horrible discord imagin-
able. Suddenly a change comes over
him, and he INDUCES in magnificent
bursts of harmony, taken from the best
productions of the masters. Since his
childhood he has been an idiot, and he
played nearly as well at the age of seven
as he does now; but now his repertoire
is much larger, as he can play any thing
he has ever heard. He now plays about
seven thousand pieces, and picks up new
ones everywhere 1t is a curious fact
that he will not play Sunday-school
music if he can help it, having great
dislike for it. - r = - -.
