AL Bateman's horse is well known as a
indicative cuss, but what grudge the ami
NAL has against Hazard & Co., Is past find
ing out. One day last week that horse
kicked small stone clean through one of
the front windows, running a light of 30 by
As glass. Al. resents the imputation that
the horse did it by stumbling on the stone.
1t is suspected the horse did it because Jerry
never gets close enough for the brute to get
a nip out of his shoulder.

RAILWAYS.

An exchange says that the rail
way system of the United States has
reached its present magnificent pro-
portions independent of government
control. 1t has vastly benefited
every State it has brought food to
the east and wealth to the west; it
has bound State to State more close
ly than the war or the Constitution ;
it has created Chicago and Atlanta ;
it has extended the borders of all the
other cities it has dotted the cont
uent with new towns and villages
it has carried the produce of the
farmer a thousand miles, when with
out it be could not send it ten il
has given America the control Of the
cotton markets Of the world ; it mas
cheapened food and clothes for mil
lions here and abroad, ADD its bene
6cence has been without bounds anC
beyond all calculation. Necessarily
growing as rapidly as it has done
many abuses have arisen many
wrongs have been done much in
Justice has resulted it has attracted
the attention and excited the ambi'
ton and the cupidity of bad men
aud yet when all this is weighed ii
the balance, il is nothing compared
to the good which has been wrought
This is not the resuI! of Legislation
it is the creation Of individual energy
and courage and determination, ane
is due to competition.

Irrigation has been tried in wes~
tern Kansas with marvellous results.
Formerly it was thought that the
dry plains stretching toward the Ar
kansas River were useless for agri-
cultural purposes. The light and
tickle rainfall, the dry sir, the hot
air, the bot winds, and the long sum-
mers were supposed to constitute
a combination of unfsvorabe ele,.
ments that it would be impossible to
overcome. But broad bitches were
dug that distributed the waters of
the Arkansas over these tracts, and
low they bloom like garden. The
crops yielded the past year we're as~
tonishing. Onions were raised at
the rate of 500 bushels to the acre,
oats 100 bushels, and other produc s
in similar proportion.

The Republican party was found
ed upon the purpose to abolish slave

pose" This end achieved, its ex-
ietence and action has been based on
an immoral purpose. 1t has lived
only to retain supremacy by immor
al practices. As Napoleon and the
Caesars converted republics ioto
despotisms or empires, even so the
Government of the United States,
as shaped by Republican statecraft
and selfish greed for office and pow

perahsm, or, worse, & despicable
putocracy. The rehuent tide of
popular love Of pure American free>

distractions, and the party of grand
moral purposes" having proved the
party of grandest IN morsi practices,

THE THREE TONGUES.

HELENA, Ark, Jan. % -Jas. w.
Black we'll and bis wife brought to
this place the other day their little
3 year old girl. She WAS born near
Smithviile, Lawrence county, Ark,
on Jan. "a, 1880, and two weeks
after her birth the mother observed
tina, she cried differently from other
children. An examination led to
the singular discovery that the child
had three distinct tongues. James
w. Black well, the father, was born
near Jasper, Walker county, Ala /,
and OF May 10, 1873, was married
to Martha E. Saffel, Of Lawrence
county, Ark On December 10,
1882. the mother gave birth to twins
both of which died. No popularity
was noticed about either of them.
The little girl in question is a fine,
healthy child, and can speak tolera
bly, well.
Besides this deformity the child
has the mark Of snake perfectly
plain, running from the middle Of
her back over the left shoulder blade
nearly to the elbow of the left arm.
As soon as the fact was known that
the child was marked in this pecu-
liar manner, hundreds Of persons
from the surrounding neighborhood
came to see this wonderful lusus ma
tur9. Beneath the tongue proper,
which however, is split near the
root, are two small tongues perfect
ly formed aud distinct, She seems
to suffer no Inconvenience from
these surplus tongues, though her
mother says she does not talk at
plainly as she did year ago. The
parents are in destitute circumstan'
ces, aad are try ing to make their
way to Jasper, Walker county
Ala, where Mr.. Blackwel's father
lives.

RAT, CAT AND PUPPY PIE.
China Letter in Troy Times

In Canton we visited a restaurant
where cats, rats and dogs were serv-
cd for food. Dog steak, fried rat
or cat stew were to be had at any
hour. 1t has been often denied and
many affirm that it is only one of
the old Peter Parley's stories that
the Chinese eat these things. But
it is true. We saw a whole puppy
ste wed in a large kettle. We saw
table full of men satisfying their
hunger with dog meat, aud they ate
with hearty relish. We saw cats
and pups in cages for sale and rats
hung up waiting for purchasers
The dishes looked ssvory and the
price of meal was "dog cheap"
but we did not indulge 10 any bows
bow soup or feline steak or rodent
pot pie. We weren't hungry just
then. The celestials will tell you
sat number one good eatee," and
show you rats skinned, rats sailed,
rats dried, rats hung up by the tail
and rats hung on striugs If you
doubt the genuineness of the article
the proprietor will show you the
meat with the hair and tail attached
for Identification.
Cat meat is said to be q fine tonic
and rat is good for bald-headed men.
Puppies and kittens 9 are generally
preferred old dogs and Tom cats
are apt to be rather tough. Black
cats are supposed to be more nutri
tious than white ones, hence the fol-
lowing advertisement seen in a shop
window: "Biack cats served hoI at

a FOOL FOR LUCK.

A Washington man the other day
sent some superanuated househole
effects down TO 40 auction room to
be sold. Among them was an old
clock that went for so cents, Il
was bought by a secondhand furni'
ture dealer of the Israeitish per,
suasion and exposed for sale. A
day or two afterwards the original
owner of the clock came down, and
without revealing himself asked to
see some old clocks. The Israelite
showed his stock, and among them
was the Identical one which bad be
longed to his customer. He ask I'd
the price, which was 2. This he

There is 3 curious case in the
Supreme Court from the Eastern
Circuit. Some one lost a canary
bird, and some one found a canary
bird. The contest is over the found

much amusement. There are some
very grave questions of law. The
canary bird was identified by pc

was raised whether after it escaped

bird and become a wild bird-tcTdc

worth dollar or two, will be looked
to with much interest, and / shall
