lle hath gone and saved a starving ass;
And this shall make, when put in jingling rhyme,
The Belle of Rye all famous for all time."

A CHEERFUL SUBJECT.
According to an Ohio paper, a double child has been born to a couple
named FINLEY, in Morrow county. It is, so to speak, a double-ender,
being provided with a supplementary head at the point where the feet are
usually situated. The child is a female-and a very curious amendment to
the Sixteenth Amendment, since, should it arrive at woman's estate, it
will, of course, be entitled to a double vote. How will it be should one
end go Republican and the other Democratic? To send a duplex woman into
the world seems to be a very unnecessary freak of Nature, seeing that
there is enough of duplicity in womankind already.

Homoeopathic Politics.
THE CITIZENS' ASSOCIATION, finding that their sands of life are nearly
run out, are now advertising privately for some fresh candidates, who
for a salary will undertake to cure the ring-worms of the body politic
by their pimple prescription of substitution, or putting yourself in
their place, which is a political modification of the law in
homoeopathic medicine, _similie similibus errantur_, or in morals, "set
a rogue to catch a rogue."
