PULLMAN, Mack & Co.'S great
show is billed to play in Pineville
to-day. In speaking of the three
headed lady which everybody here
abouts seems so anxious to see, and
which is more couspicuously adver-
tised than any other feature of the
concern, the Webster Tribune, pub
lished at Minden, La, says:
"The grandest hoax of this show
was the three-headed lady. In their
handbills they affirmed that she was
a reality. They got up a pretty
good imitation which was nothing
more than a common lady with two
false heads, and as her hands were
not visible, we presume they were
used to nod the head as in "punch
and judy" arrangement.
OK Saturday last, the little
four year old boy Of Mr.. Jos. NAL

OH seed which he had swallowed
about three months ago, the same
having at that time lodged in the
posterior lobe of his left lung. Mr..
Malachowsky had taken his little
boy to New Orleans, to have him
examined by the medical experts
/ there who told hin that an opera
ton would have to be performed to
get the seed from his lungs. Rath-
er than put his little one to the
suffering that was bound to occur in
an operation like this, Mr. NJ. con-
Guided to bring his child home and
wait the results. The case seems a
mystery to all the medical fraterni-
ty here, as none of them can ac-
count for the seed staying in the
chilps lung SO long and that too in
a most perfect form of preservation.

MILWAUKEE, April 16.-The Sentinel will, to
morrow, publish sixty letters from prominent
Republicans of Wisconsin, and twenty local in
terviews, on the question of their choice for
President and Vice-president. General Fair
child.is named as first choice, but his nomination
is not considered probable. The Edmunds vote
is equal to that for Arthur or Blaine. There
seems a growing tendency to name Robert Lin
coin for first place, and widely spread feeling
favorable to General Sherman. More Logan
sentiment was developed than was supposed to
exist there evidently having been industrious
work in his behalf among the soldier organiza-
tons. For Vice president, Lincoln is the unani-
nous choice, except with those who desire to see
his name at the head of the ticket

$40 of the money obtained on the forged note to
pay off another signed by Harris, one of the men

Repeating the Past Eight Years-A Vice
President in Every State.
Special to the New York Graphic.
The presidential question is beginning to ex-
cite more interest, and politicians in Washing
ton are watching the dispatches each morning to
figure up the gains and losses of the different
..andidates as the delegates to Chicago are
.lected Mr. Blaine seems to be ahead as was
the case four and eight years ago at this period
Of the contest but the opinion of the wiser men
is that he will get to the end of his rope, as
he has previously done, and then stop. The
trouble with Blaine is and always has been,
that he is nobody's second choice. The lines for
and against hun are strongly drawn and those
who are not for him are against him His an
tagonisms are as marked as his popularity, and
every man who wants Blaine nominated speaks
out the first time his name is called.
Blaine has no place to seek votes when his
own strength falls short. and he must have
enough votes to nominate him on the first ballot
or fail He has been trying to make alliance
with Logan; he has been representing to Har
rison that he was his second choice, and the
operation of the Blaine managers now differs
very little from their actions in 1876 and 1880,
when they had candidate for Vice-president in
every State
Another weakness of Blaine is his record, and
the sbarpshooters who have been posted to
await his rise have already commenced to open
fire. He has been dreading this, and that is
one reason why he has tried to keep in the back
ground. He wanted the nomination, but he
pretended he didn't, in the hope of Keeping his
enemies silent until after the convention. His
worst enemies and his bitterest aecusers are in
his own party and he knew that if he could
slide into the ticket without drawing their fire
by an open candidacy they would have to sup
port and defend him for party reasons
