An Extraordinary Freak.

A citizen of Tampa, Fla, isthe owner
of wonderful curiosity in the shape Of
a pair of deer's horns in which one of
the prongs ends in a startling malfor-
nation. Four inches from the place
where It branches from the main horn
this prong suddenly enlarges into a
dubious growth nearly as large as a
mans fist, and it is in this excrescence
that the wonder lies. The bulb is in
the form of hounds head, plainly
showing ears, mouth, eyes, etc. 1t was
taken in the down, and were il other
wise it is impossible that 1t could be a
work Of art, owing to the enlargement
necessary for the freak.

Every sensible man who will reflect
over the great issue that is now under
discussion, must inevitably perceive
that the so-called "sound" money men
are trying to keep down prices. The
whole issue is one of prices, but there
is careful avoidance of that confes-
sion on the part of the money dealers.
They say that dollar which would
buy only half as much as the present
pold dollar would be "depreciated'
and dishonest" dollar; but they do
not say that the gold dollar of 1879
was ''dishonest" dollar Neverthe'
less, the gold dollar of 1873 would pur-
chase not quite half as much as the
s'honest" dollar of 1s9a--Atlanta Con-
stitution.
