CAPTURE OF A WONDERFUL SEVEN
FEET BIRD.
From the Stanford (Kv.) Despatch.]
Mr. Ja tries Peeples, living two and
a half miles from Stanford, on the
Dudderars mill road, is surrounded
by a party of neighboring bo3’B who
are fond of the sport of night hunt
ing. Over a W’eek ago these boys
were engaged in their favorite pas
time, and, while absorbed in the ex
citement of a fox-chase, were sudden
ly startled by what they called an
unearthly scream from some of the
tree tops. Some declared it was a
panther, some a catamount, and oth*
ers believed the voice that of a fe
male in distress. They agreed to
approach as near the spot whence
the screams came as possible, and
took up the line of march towards
the place.
At each stop the screams were
repeated, to the amazement of the
boys, and, if the truth must be told,
there was a perceptible tremor in each
one’s voice, and daylight would have
exhibited very pale faces. Guided
still nearer by the strnge noise, they
directly heard the clank of chains,
irons and padlocks. This was two
much for youthful temerity to endure.
They were brave boys, but demo
niac yells from the tree-tops, accom
panied by rattling music of the devil
at the dreary hour of midnight, when
ghosts, hobgoblins and blue devils
stalks abroad, were fraught with too
much impending danger to be relished
even by stouter hearts and stronger
nerves. They retreated, and report
ed to the neighbors the strange and
wonderful sounds which had greeted
their ears.
Mr. Peeples laughed at the alarm
of the boys, but was still on the look
out for strange sights. On last Sat
urday his curiosity was somwhat re
lieved by seeing a monster bird, some
thing like the condor of Sinbad the
sailor, alight on his barn. It gave a
few of the screams which had so dis
turbed the boys, and Mr. P. was satis
fied he had found the ghost. He took
down his rifle, and without precaution
to put in a silver bullet, drew a bead
on the bird, and it fell. On approach
ing it he found that only one wing
had been broken, which he amputated.
How come the secret of the chains.
One foot had hanging to it a s'eel trap
weighing about four pounds, which
had been evidently set for varmints.
It had been there for some time, as
the flesh had rotted off, the trap only
hanging by a leader. On measure
ment the bird seemed to be seven feet
from tip to tip. It was of a black col*
or, and both eimiliar and dissimilar,
in many respects, to an eagle. Its
feet and the feathers of its legs, which
hang about six inches in length, were
those of an eagle, but the jet-black
color indicated another species. At
last accounts it was doing: well, and
eating raw flesh with a voracious
appetite.
A YANKEE BLONDE AT THE EGYP
TIAN BALL AT CAIRO.
The most superbly dressed lady in
the ballroom—next to the Empress,
of course —was Madame do Ville, a
most beautiful American lady, who
married, a few months ago, a Monsieur
de Ville, a Parisian banker. What
ever of all the pretty things, costly
or otherwise, with which beauty
dresses herself or wins victories, were
displayed on the faultless form of
Madame de Ville. Her diamonds would
have made a fortune for an honest,
respectable man; and as for dress,
though I declare I am ignorant of its
material—for it was a compound of
gauze and muslin, ribbons and bind
ing—skillful art had done so much
for it that I do not believe the best
modistes of Paris or your fashion cor
respondent could have suggested an
improvement upon it. To me it ap
peared the very acme of perfection ;
and as for her appearance, why she
was simply beautiful, She was not a
Venus, such as Reubens paint; nor
was she such as Titian created ; bnt
she was an American houri—a blonde
—with ringlets of gold flowing over
her shoulders, shaming with their
lustre the golden band which bound
them. — Cor. AT. Y. Herald.
Gen. Grant’s policy seems to be to
reduce to beggary the only child of
George Washington, the father of his
co u n try. — Fr entice.
a ßarkis is Willing .”—Mr. Hoar is
reported as having said that if the
Senate prefered to have him three
years and a half in the Attorney
General’s office, instead of confirming
him as a Justice of the Supreme
Court, he was willing.
Mrs. Lucia G. Calhoun; corres
pondent of the New York Tribune,
was married on Wednesday last to
Mr. Cornelius Runkle, a lawyer of
that city, the legal adviser and one
of the stock-holders of the same jour
