In an editorial against the proposed in
crease of the number of justices of the
supreme court from three to five, the
esteemed Montezuma Record says:
“There are several trios of pood lawyers
in Georgia who would like to take the ,obof
running the supreme court under a pledge
not to plead overwork.” And further, it
says, if the justices are overworked, “why
not ask for another clerk, one thoroughly
competent to do that ‘writing out' for
them?” There are insuperable objections
to both suggestions. The people of Geor
gia would not be willing to farm out the
supreme court to any trio of lawyers in
the state, under pledge or under bond not
to plead overwork. The gentlemen now
on the supreme bench are supposed to be
the pick of the legal fraternity of the
state. If the work is too much for them—
and there is no doubt that it is—what
reason is there for thinking there are any
other trios of lawyer in the state who could
do efficiently more work than the present
justices? As to the suggestion about the
clerk, a typewriter supreme court
is out of the question. Legal ability and
not dexterity in thumping a keyboard is
what is wanted in the addition to the
supreme court.
A campaign document that is being cir
culated in the interest of Mr. Fleming of
Augusta, an able gentleman who is a can
didate for the speakership of the House
in the general assembly, presents some in
teresting facts. It shows by a map that
northwest Georgia has piactically monop
olized all of the state offices and all of
the state institutions. Lines drawn north
and south through Milledgeville, and east
and west through Macon, make four divi
sions of about equal territory and popula
tion. Of these divisions, that of the north
west has the lunatic asylum, the girls' in
dustrial college, the blind asylum, the
state university, the agricultural college,
the military encampment, the technologi
cal school and the deaf and
dumb asylum, of the public in
stitutions. The sum of the an
nual appropriations for these institutions
is about $1318,(too The only public institu
tion in any other division is the small in
dustrial school for colored people in the
southeastern division. Resides all of this
the northwestern division this year has
secured the nominations for governor,
secretary of state, treasurer, commis
sioner of agriculture, attorney general
and controller general. And still further,
the same section now has one of the
senatorships: until Senator Colquitt's
death it had both. From these facts it
cannot be doubted that the northwestern
division of the state has had enough of
the perquisites of politics, and that it is
time some of them were being dispensed
elsewhere. Maj. Bacon resides iti the
northwestern division; Mr. Walsh resides
on the north side of the line running east
and west; Mr. Garrard resides but a few
miles south of the sufficiently honored
northwestern division; Mr. Turner re
aides in south Georgia. And, if there
Rwere no other reason to urge iu his be-
Walf. Mr. Turner ought to have the sena-
as u mutter of ‘noting f*tj* ”
The Populists and the Black Vote.
Here and there in this state there is an
anxious democrat who is afraid that the
populists are getting control of the
blacks, and that they will poll a large
black vote for their ticket. These anxious
democrats may rest assured that there is
very little ground for their fears.
It is true that the populists are making
vigorous efforts to induce the blacks to
vote with them. According to the re
ports received they are making various
attractive promises to them. We have
not heard, however, that in any part of
any county the blacks are flocking to the
populist standard. On the contrary, our
advices are that the blacks receive the
advances of the populists coldly.
There are two reasons for this. One is
that the blacks do not undeastand the
popuiists’ demands. Indeed, it is doubt
ful if the populists themselves under
stand them. Some of them are so unrea- ,
sonable that it is not possible for any
body to understand them. The blacks cer
tainly do not understand them, and,
hence, find nothing attractive in them.
The other reason is that the blacks do
not believe the populists can fulfill the
promises they make to them, and they do ,
not believe they would fulfill them even j
if they had the power to do so. Between :
the populists and the blacks there is no j
sympathy whatever. In fact, there is a I
feeling of hostility. The populists do not I
command the respect of the blacks be- !
cause, as a general thing, they are not
employers as the democrats are. The
blacks listen to what the populist leaders
have to say, but they are not convinced
that it would be for their interests to as
sist the populist party.
Another reason that might be stated is
this: The leaders of the blacks still hope
that the Republican party will get a
strong foothold in the south, and that
then they will become persons of import
ance in the political world. They are,
therefore, doing all they can to hold the
blacks together as republicans. It is
doubtful if there is a prominent colored
man in any part of the state who is acting
with the populists. As long as this is the
condition of affairs there is no danger
that the blacks will become allies of the
populists.
As,a matter of fact, the great majority
of the blacks would rather affiliate with
the democrats than with the populists.
Their employers are democrats and there
is sympathy and a community of interests
between them. In the August election in
Alabama, it is believed that many more
blacks voted with the democrats than
with the populists, notwithstanding the
fact that there was a close alliance be
tween ihe republican and populist leaders.
The reports of assemblages of blacks
being addressed by populists in this or
that county should not have a disquieting
effect upon democrats. The black vote
will not aid the populists to an appre
ciable extent.
Mr. Crisp’s Silver Views.
In the two speeches he has made in this
state since his return from Washington,
Speaker t'risp has expressed himself as
being in favor of the free and unlimited
coinage of silver. We have not seen it
stated, however, that he favors opening
the mints to the unlimited coinage of sil
ver at the ratio of 16 to 1. In the extracts
from his speeches that we have published
we do not find any ratio stated.
Tbe impression is that be favors open
ing the mints at the ratio of 16 to 1. It
would seem, however, that if he approved
of opening the mints at that ratio he
would say so.
A simple declaration in favor of the
free coinage of silver docs not mean a
great deal. It may mean at a ratio that
would require a dollar’s worth of silver in
a silver dollar, or it may mean by interna
tional agreement. If Mr. Crisp insists upon
eiiing his \iews in respect to silver he
should make them so clear that there
could be no doubt of his meaning
Secretary Smith left no room for doubt
in his Atlanta speech as to where he
stands in res; ect to silver. He has no
hostility to silver, but he does not favor
free silver coinage except upon conditions
that would make it certain that the sil
ver dollar would circulate on a parity
with the gold dollar.
It may be that those who are claiming
that Speaker Crisp favors the free coin
age of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1, even
though the purity of silver and gold could
not be maintained at that ratio, are mis
taken. It is certainly to be hoped they
are.
Tlin and Now.
An article in the last number of the
Florida Mirror, published at Fernandina,
compares the past and present of Charles
ton with the past and present of Savan
nah.
The writer of the article who signs it
‘■R.,” says that in 1850 there was one
grocery firm in Charleston that did a busi
ness of o\er $1,000,000 a month, and he
advances the opinion that that was more
than the entire wholesale and retail busi
ness of Savannah at that time. At that
time also the mercantile business of
Charleston, he believes, was a hundred
times as great as that of Savanu ih.
Charleston, he thinks, kept her bank
ing capital ! n her banks, instead of build
ing railroads with it, and, hence, lost
much of her trade. "It was i sorry
sight.” he says, ‘ two years ago, to sec the
once mile long line of wharves now occu
pied by one phosphate steamer and three
schooners, with a few pilot boats an
chored near by and waiting for business
to turn up.”
Savannah strikes him as follows:
Now, see the strides of material pro
gress and of population in Savannah.
Like a young giant, she gr s.is every op
portunity of new business, solves every
problem with energy, and is quick 10 open
up new it eni.es to build up tbe city and
increase the value of her position as well
as the wealth of her eiti oils. Beautiful,
energetic, progressive Savannah! The
confidence, of her capitalists, the liberal
ity of her merchants and a bound in <r energy

to “turn up.” but were bold to reach out
a helping nand and bring to their doors

THE MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 16, 1894.
Advice to Democratic Speakers.
In our Atlanta dispatches yesterday
Chairman Clay of the democratic state
executive committee is quoted as follows;
‘•Our speakers are saying entirely too
much about national finance*. I wish
they would devote themselves more to
state issues.’’ Mr. Clay is right. A num
ber of times he has given similar advice
to the democratic stump speakers. For
some reason or other his advice is not
heeded. The gentlemen who are doing
the talking for the democrats are im
pressed with the idea apparently that it
is their duty to devote their whole
attention to national issues. They
say so little about. state issues
that they furnish ground for suspicion that
they know nothing about them.
The .populists -are constantly attacking
the administration of the affairs of the
state by the democrats, and Chairman
Clay wants itsbown that these attacks
are not based on truth, and are therefore
unjust.
If the democratic speakers are not pre
pared to meet these attacks, they ought
to prepare themselves to do so at once.
Chairman Clay is much better qualified
than they are, at least he ought to be, to
judge of the raatters that ought to be
discussed in the present campaign, and
his advice ought to be followed.
The people undei stand that they are
called upon to vote for candidates for
state offices in October, and they would
like to know how the candidates stand
upon state matters, and what the policy
of the Democratic party is going to be in
respect to such matters. If the discus
sion of state issues continues to be
neglected by the democratic speakers the
impression will get abroad that the
charges the populists make against the
democrats in respect to their manage
ment of state affairs are true. Such an
impression is calculated to do the demo
cratic cause a great deal of damage.
There is no doubt, of course, that the
democratic ticket will be elected. Some
thing more than that, however, is de
sired. The democrats want to beat the
populists by such an immense majority
that the latter will have no inclination to
continue their organization. Chairman
Clay’s advice should be heeded. It is
good advice, and, if followed, the party
will be greatly benefited.
Getting Rid of Their Officials.
The people of New Orleans are making
a vigorous effort to get rid of the men
who compose their city government, or at
least a large part of them. They have
secured indictments against about a
dozen of their aldermen for accepting
bribes, and on Friday they began im
peachment proceedings against their
mayor. Fitzpatrick is the name of the
mayor, and he is charged with incom
petency and with using his office to re
ward his friends.
Fitzpatrick has been a politician in
New Orleans for many years, and has
held a number of positions of honor and
profit. He has a large following among
those who make politics a business, and
who care very little for the city’s in
terests. He is not a fit man for mayor,
and would never have been elected to
that office if the better element of the
city had taken the interest in municipal
politics they should. Their failure to dis
chargestieir duties ascitizens has brought
such troubles upon tbe city that they are
now compelled to go to the expense and
trouble of getting rid of the men that
they, by their indifference to the city’s
welfare, permitted to be elected.
The high handed way in which the city
and the people have been robbed is almost
past belief. A few days ago the Mousing
News gave the history of some of the
charges of bribery brought against
aldermen. It is a shameful history,
and the wonder is that men
of so little self-respect as the indicted
aldermen appear to be succeeded in get
ting into such responsible positions.
It looks as if there would soon be more
indictments. It is claimed that the fur
niture for the new court house cost the
city about twice as much as it ought to.
Every opportunity to rob the city and
blackmail citizens has been made the most
of, apparently.
There will be general rejoicing in New
Orleans if the mayor is dismissed from
office and the indicted aldermen are sent
to the penitentiary. Those who are
really interested in the welfare of the
city have been taught a lesson they will
not soon forget. In future they will try
to have honest and competent men elected
to manage the city's affairs.
The democrats of South Carolina who
went icto the county conventions held
Saturday for the purpose of taking steps
to reorganize the Democratic party of
tho state are thoroughly in earnest about
making a fight against a continuance of
Tillmanism. It may be that their efforts
this year will be fruitless; it would be
almost phenomenal if they should prove
successful. It appears to be as near a
certainty as any unaccomplished fact can
be that John Gary Evans will be the next
governor and Gov. Tillman will be the
nest senator. But there are reasons for
tile belief that the election of Gov. Till,
man to the Senate will be the last act of
importance that will be accomplished by
the TiUmanite faction in South Carolina.
The faction is now rapidly going to
pieces, but the disintegration did not be
gin soon enough to save the state to true
democracy this year. When Gov. Till
man turns loose the patronage and power
of the governorship and leaves the state
—when he gives the reigns to John Gary
Evans—the grand rmashup will shortly
' follow. Mr. Evans is not an expert at
driving “bellowing bulls,” as the gov
ernor affectionately terms his constitu
ents, and his apple cart is apt to go irfto
the ditch at the election of lb'JO. By or
ganizing now the real democrats of the
state will be prepared for Mr. Evans' ca
tastrophe.
The democratic state convention of
Ohio will meet at Columbus next Tuesday
and Wednesday, It is said a resolution
i censuring Senator Brice will be intro
duced. And it is further said that should
the resolution be adopted. Senator Brice
would resign his seat at once. If he were
to resign his successor wouia be a repub
| lican, us both the governor and the legis
j lature of Ohio are of that political faitb.
| It is u question if the democracy would be
| much weakened in the Senate if Senator
■ Brice were to resign, and it <s a still more
doubtful question if he would put his
threat into executiou in the event of bis
being censured; hence the democracy of
Ohio can go ahead and do its duty with a
good deal of assurance.

Incident* of Lord Coleridge’* Ameri
can Visit.
The Right Hon. Lord Russell, the present
chief justice of England, tells in the North
American Review these stories of ord Chief
Justices Coleridge s visit to America:
I had the honor, in company with the late
Lord Hannon, the late Lord Bowen Sir
Horace Davev Mr Bryce, M P . ard Mr
Marten, ij. C.. formerly member for Ejl
kenny. of visitine America with him in 18 -1.
We were invited by the oar of the state of
New Y’ork. and most of us were subsequently
tne guests of Mr. VDlard, then the i resident
of the Northern Pacific Kaliroaff company,
or. the first through journey by that route
across tne coniinent to the Pacific slopes.
Lord Coleridge did not accompany us on this
part of our travels: but in several of the
New England slates he received marks of
honor, and all of us emoyed the proverbially
generous hospitality of tbe great American
people. This visit added a large number to
his oudget of anecdotes which he used to
tell with much enioyipent. although now and
then sotrie' of them toid against himself.
Desirous of information Lord Coleridge was
inquiring from Mr. Evarts the distinguished
New- York barrister, formerly Secretary of
State, how Americaa'lawyers were remuner
ated for their work.
I-ord Coleridge—Pray, Mr. Evarts, how do
clients pay their lawyers witn you?
Mr. Evarts—Well, mv lord, they pay a re
taining fee; it may be SSO. or It may oe $5,000
or (60 0
Lora Coleridge—Yes, and what does that
co.er?
Mr. Ei arts—Oh' that is simply the retainer.
The rest i paid tor as the work is done, and
according to the work done.
Lord < oleriage—Yes. Mr. Evarts, and do
clients like that?
Mr. Evarts -Not a bit, my lord, not a bit.
They generally say. "I guess. Mr. Evarts. 1
should like to know how deep down 1 shall
have tQ go into my breeches pocket to see
this business through?”
Lord Coleridge—Yes, what do you sa;
then
- Evarts—Well, my lord. I have invented
a formula which 1 have found answers very
well. 1 say. "Sir. or madame. as the case
may be, I cannot underta. e to sav how man ;
judicial errors I shall be called :p n to cor
rect . efore l obtain for you final justice."
fiord Coleridge used to tell with glee an an
ecdote corner ilnt a dinner given to him in
Chicago by a distinguished law.er, where a
collapse of the banquet was threatened owing
to the too vigilant attention of the sheriff's
officers, who held a writ of fl. fa. over the
host s goods and chattels. However, the
threatened danger was averted On the same
occasion, he had stipulated and was assured
that there would be no speeches; but, to his
discomfiture, he saw his host retire into a
corner with his secretary before dinner was
announced to settle the final proo.s of a
speech which the later delivered with much
success at the banquet. Lord Coleridge was
a good deal bothere i by that product of the
nineteenth century, the interviewer; and on
his way to Chicago one of these gentlemen,
failing otherwise to draw him out, began to
belli.le the old country in the matter of lakes
and rivers and mountains, and even men.
Lord Coleridge bore it all patiently; finally,
the interviewer said: "I am told, my lord,
you think a great deal of what you call your
great lire of London. Well, I guess that the
conflagration we had in the little village of
Chicago made your great fire look very
smab.” To which Lord Coleridge blandly re
sponded: “Sir. I have every reason to believe
that the great tire of London was quite as
great as the people at that time desired.”
He Was Guileless.
He was a young man with a downy beard
who had come off an evening train, says the
Detroit Free Press, instead of going out
with other passengers he hunted up the
special officer, and said:
"I want a little information. When I was
com ng in a man sat down beside me in the
smoking car and took out three cards and
began to throw 'em about—like this One
was an aee. and he Slid he’d bet me (5 I
couldn't pi.k out that card after he and thrown
’em around. It was a game, wasn't itb”
"Of course, it was." replied tie officer.
"He was a three-card mon e men and you
ought to have known better thau to put up
your money. HoW much did you lose?”
”t h. I didn’t lose, i bet him three times
and made sls. All I wanted to know was
what they cad the game, ill write the name
down before I forget it. Three-card monte.
1 see. Then the fellow did something eise.
He pulled out three little cups and a pea and
mixed etn all up and wanted to bet me I
couldn’t find the pea. Is that a game’-”
"Certainly it’s a game—thimble rigging
You ought to have read of it in the papers
years arc. You lost about *lO. 1 suppose:”
"Lose $10? Ob. no: I let him twice and won
(fi). i’ll w rite that down under the other
gume. Let s see. Thimule rigging. Rather
oiiu name, isn t it? Don’t see wbat a thimble
has to do with it. No use to ask who in
vented it. or when. Tbe fellow seemed to be
gie itly discouraged about something, but he
got out a pack of cards and asked me if I
could plav poke-poke"—
*■ i ou mean poker.”
“Fe.hapsldo. Is that a game?”
"I should remark. Did you play poker
with him:-”
I suppose I did. He gave me some cards,
took some himself, and then said he and bet (5
on his hand. I said I’d net siu on mine, and
when he said (Ifi 1 said (2u. Then he flung
down his cards, called me a fool, and went
into the next car.”
■‘And he gave up the > et?”
"On yes—gave it right up ”
"And you won 45 of him in all?"
"Yes. (5. See? Just (-5 That last game
was poker, eh: Queer name, but I suppose
it’s all right. I’ll put it down under the
others That makes three-card monte,
thimble-rigging tnl poker. You are sure
aoout it. are you?”
"Of course.”
• Well, that’s all right, except about the
money Do you have auy orphan asylums in
this to wn, officer?”
"Three or four.”
•Yes-very glad. I’ll hunt them up and
divide the money between ’em. That will be
right, won t it?”
T be officer stared at him and made no reply,
and the yo; ng man with a downy beard and
ihe chlld-like expression lifted up his grip
and added;
•Three card monte thimble rigging and
poker. Ive got ’em down and will try to
commit the names to memory. Officer, your
intelligence and courtesy are to be com
mended—farewell:”

The historic Long Bridge, over which the
federal troops fled into Washington alter the
disaster at Bull Run. is undergoing some
changes. It will h; rebuilt to accomodate an
ele trie railroad to connect Washington with
Mount vermin the tom >of the father of his
country. The old Lnjge has seen many
changes since it was first erected In 1806 R
was built by a private stock company on a
charter from congress and the company was
to enjoy the tolls tor sixty years, af-er which
it was to become the property of tne United
States After enjoying about thirty years of
to.is tbe company one day found itself de
prived of the property by a flood Then con
gress came to tbe rescue pa.d the company
(2d 000, and built a free bridge to cross the
Potomac at a cost of $200,000. This was about
184 u. and the bridge was in use when the war
broke out. In Is7o another flood took the
structure away, and tueu congress gave a
charter to tne Pennsylvania Railrbad Com
pany. which was to maintain a bridge for all
purposes of travel, to have the free right-of
way itself and be compelled under the law to
grant to any other railroad the use of the
bridge under a rental to be determined by the
supreme court of the District of Columbia.
One of tbe most difficult 'operations In the
repairing or rebuilding of locomotives is the
removing of old bolts from the frames of en
gines. These bolts are originally machine
fitted. which alone would make their removal
difficult, but as they are always badly rusted
the process is doucly tedious. - The method
always in use is to force them out by upward
blows from heavy hammers, but frequently
the drill had to be used. A wdrkman in the
Erie railway- shops at HornelisviUe. N. Y.,
eomeived the idea that these bolts could he
Quickly and effectively removed by a pro
jectile fired from a cannon. The master
mechanic resoHed to test the idea and a
steel mortar shaped pie e of ordnance was
made ior the purpose with a two-inch bore,
seven inches deep. This is fitted with a steel
projectile the same length as the bore. The
first test of this novel tool was made on
Saturday. The moriar was loaded and the
drill projectile pla ed beneath a bolt in an
engine frame. At the first discharge tho bolt,
a particularly obstinate one. was driven from
its held. The entire frame was dispossessed
of its numerous bolts by the pro ectile in a
much shorter time than a s.ngle bolt was ever
taken out tefore. The success of the ord
nance tool will mark an important revolution
in the work of locomotive repairing.
The wholesale clothing trade, says the
New York Mail and Express, has some pecu
liarities that are quits unknown to the pub
lic at large which wears the "ready-made”
clothes tnat are produced by the great firms
in this and other big manufacturing cities.
Of course, all wholesale lines of business
have pecularitites unknown to retail pur
chasers, but that particular one of tbe whole
sale clothiers is of a nature that might be
supposed to gain wide pu. lic.ty, but which
does not. It lies in the giving of fancy titles
to tbe garments they make, but which ap
parently are not ‘passed along” by the retail
ers who handle them. Some of these names
are singularly amusing in their inappropri
ateness, as, for instance, in theciseof the
•‘Duchess trousers' and the ’ Apollo pants.”
It is douutful if there is ad chess in all
the nobility of Europe who wears trousers, and
it is a certainty that no record of Apollo s
career makes any allusion to his wearing
pants. In fact, he would have been unques
tionably badly handicapped by pants, as his
lets were so delightfully symmetrical and ar
tistic that no Olympian costumer would have
made the bad break of permitting 10 distin
guished a customer to make a guy of nimself.
The Duchess of Montrose, a fine old British
matron, who goes in for horse racing aad
who married a young man who has no title,
and is very much her junior, is said to wear
the family trousers.” but that is only in the
slang meaning of the expression. In actual
life she wears frocks and gowns as any other
duchess does.
It seems to me, Indeed, that the word diner
(in one or other form) is more used in the
south of France thanffn other parts, savs a
writer in the Academy. I have often teen
surprised to find how little it is used among
the peasants, though now, no doubt, since
communication is so easy, the word is every
where understood. Where I have made in
quiries (whien was not in the south). I have
generally found that dinner was called either
la soupe, or else gouter, and that the word
diner was not useu. As long as the French
soldiers had bouilli and the broth resulting
from its preparation twice a day. the two
meals were called la soupe du matin
et la soupe du soir, the former be
ing their dinner. And even now. when
they have soup on e only, neither of
the meal is called diner, but repas du matin
and repas du soir arc the terms used, as I
haveieen informed by a i rench officer. I
am. consequently, inclined to believe that the
word diner originated In Italy, especially
as there desinar (disinari is more especially
used of the dinner of the poorer classes,
while pranzo and pransar are rather
used of the more delicate and nner of
tho e who are in a higher social station.
In Tuscany, indeed tas a Tuscan lady tells
mei, among the laborers the sui stantive used
is commonly desina; and. as there is no such
corresponding substantive in French, and it
is at least as likely (if not more likelyi that
desinar preceded the ver.i as that it is de
rived from it. this is certainly some slight
argument In favor of the Italian oris, in of the
word. This desina (oruislna/ takes nlace at
midday. The word is accented on the "i;"
and it seems to me extremely unlikely that
tbe French disner should nave give rise to a
form disinar (desman, with a vowel inserted
between the sand the n. and that the cor
responding substantive should have the
accent on the inserted vowel.
A colt foaled at Elmwood. N. C., in 18S6 was
as wooly as a sheep, without mane, and a (ail
as smooth as that of a rat, says the Philadel
phia Press. At the age ot 3(-i months it was
sheared, the wool weighing 2!( pounds, in
1887 two monstrosities in the shape ol six
foote 1 co.ts were to be seen on the farm of
Frank L. Foreman, near Mazon. ill He was
a two year old, the o her a weanling. Both
were strong and healthy. A colt foaled on
the farm of S. W. Bass. Ward. Ark., in May,
1887, was perfect with the exception that 'it
was without forelegs. In July of that year
the little cddit.v was very frisky and making
efforts to walk like other bipeds Charles H.
Beech. Warne, Neb., is the owner of a mare
wh.ch. in 1857. gave birth to a
youngster provided with thiee perfect
eyes, two of which are normally
situated, the third being nearly midway
ot the forehead. Each of the three eyes
is a perfect optic, endowed with vision, about
the only difference in th-in being that the one
in the lorehea lis much tne largest. In 1881
what was adv.. rrised as the "Eighth wohder
of the world —a colt with eight perfect
hoofs—was foaled at the barn of James Mo-
Cloud. near Pierre. is. D. In the ase of the
McCloud coit (which is now a full grown
horse, and is being exhibited all over the
country.) the extra legs, or feet, rather, be
gin at the pastern joints and branch out so as
to make two perfectly formed hoofs on each
of the four legs, in he spring o- 189 ) Marion
Buuklen. who lives eleven mi es southwest of
Knoxville. la., founa h mself the rosscssor
of an odd malformation in the shape
of a colt v/ith three legs and a "wing, " or a
flipper. The two hind legs were perfectly set
and natural but the third, as though nature
had tried to muks amends lor only supifirir.g
one was set in tne center of the foia part of
the body—between where the two fore legs
aro generally are This curious creature had
the eyes normally situated, but one was twice
as large as the other. In Mav of the present
year an inter sting little wonder made its ap
pearance in ihe livery tarrn of O. C. Vess at
LaFayette. Ind. it is a bay mare colt, sup
plied with an extra leg. This superfluous leg,
which has the hoof, pastern and hock perfe. t,
grows from tho side of the colt s heal, just
above the left car.
