The pe< pit of Columbus will have an opportu nity to-day of seeing the most extensive collec tion of birds ever brought to this city. Professor Leon arrived in the city yesterday and engaged ' the vacant store under the Central hotel, and , was busy all the afternoon in arranging for the grand opening to-day. An ENquniKK-SuN re- 1 porter saw his display of birds last night, and can assiirt Hit people that lie has everything he ' claims to have and that no such a collection was ever exhibited here. He lias about seventy I cages, containing everything from the great i American eagle to the wax-bill, silken finches, | the smallest birds that live in captivity, j Among the rarest birds which Prof. Leon ex hibits are Chinese golden and silver pheasants, : which are perfect beauties. Prof. Leon also lias a considerable variety of small animals, among j which are the wonderful “What-Is lt ?’’ a noted baboon and a pair of pet monkeys. He has one of tiie only two Hying vampires in America. His collection is rare and well worth seeing. The i price of admission is only 10 and 15 cents, and no one will regret having paid it. The show is no humbug, and we predict that it will draw im- 1 incuse crowds. The ladies and children are es- I pecially invited to call and see the prettiest col- j lection of birds in the country.

Proceedings of I lie Democratic Muss Meeting- A New Executive Committee— Primary Flection Ordered, Kte. Macon Telegraph. A strange case came to light in East Macon yesterday. Henrietta Cook, a negro woman well known . on the east side of the river, appeared before Justice Sabers for the purpose of swearing out a I warrant against her son-in-law, one Joe Kitch* j ens. v ho had threatened her life. Joe married Henrietta’s daughter in 1880. In that year he found a negro named (ins Johntou talking to his wife, and without much ado he j shot tius in the head, killing him. Joe was sent I to Ihe penitentiary for ten years, but was pardon- : ed. out after serving five years in the Dade coal j mines. ; .Shortly after his retirement to the peniten tiary a son was born to him who proved both a monstrosity and a prodigy, beinp half human 1 and hrlffrog. and withal exceedingly bright in 1 mind. The child was so horribly'misshapen that the mother did not like to keep it, aim it was j j taken by the grandmother, who became very I much attached to it. The child grew to be nearly | | six years old, but never walked. His hands and I feet were turned outward, similar to those of a ! frog, and hN method of locomotion was by hop- \ 1 ping. His jumps were prodigious, jumping from i ! two to six feet. There was no ribs on the left j side, and he slept with the left foot around his , neck. Behind the ears and under the chin was a thin membrane I which filled with air as he talked. While he could spe*k distinctly during his sleep he uttered I a sound similar to that of the croaking of a frog, j He was such a curiosity that he was kept confined I in the house to prevent curious people from see ing him. though he was well known to the peo- i pie who lived in the locality. | Last October Joe returned and saw his child j for the first time. He took the child away from j the grandmother and carried him to his house in j t the country, almost a mile from town. According to Henrietta’s statement Joe ill- | j treated the child, and on last Sunday was so an- I i gered with him because he couid not walk that I he gave him a tremendous kick in the stomach, j sending it across the room. On Monday evening I i the child died. Joe then made his wife measure j ! the child and go after a cofhn. This she did,carry- ! ! ing the coffin on her head. I The coroner will disinter the body and hold an inquest. Our Fount is now in frill blart. and we are drawing the best Soda Water in the city.
