Our little friend the Oxford Mom-
'u.? ' Lvi iS'iSiUi Mrtv f
tng Clarion, says it is the duty of
the Democratio party to encourage
the Radicals in their hunt for facts
implicating prominent Democrats in
wrong doing. By this, it means that

BLACKBALLING BKISi'OW.
Last week Benjamin II. Bristow,
Secretary of the Treasury and a
prominent" aspirant" for the Republi
catvnbnunatioa. for the Presidency,
applied fr admission to the Union J
Lp-icmih Club of New York eitv. Ur-
o--- - ,
dinarily a Radical club would-be
only too glad to take into its fold so
distinguished a. gentleman. There,
are not in that part', even in New
Yoik, so many members of jlr.
Biistow's character and position , as
to make it a matter of no "conse
quence when he stands at the door
and knocks. But on this occasion a
u I
change came over the big sachems I
. 5 ., , . . -6. . .
of the club mentioned, and the re
sult was twelve black balls struck the
Secretary before he got -inside the
door of the lodge, and he retired to
meditate upon the caprice and in
gratitude of Republican clubs.
The public deduce this moral: The
Republican party has no place for
i c ,
reformers and men of sincere and
manly character.

A Woman with a Calf Face.
Frankfort (Kj'.) Yeoman. ...
Wednesday last, a mulatto ' girl
dnnh! fane created auite a
sensation in the neighborhood 'of
Market and Lafayette streets, id this
city. From the best view that could
be na(i cf her face, it seemed to be a
human face with a horrible mask-like
COVerinc on the upper portion,1 rep-
resemiug very accurately, the front
an(j nose 0f a oaif,-- From the, top of
the forehead, down to the lower lip,
the face was a calf's face, the nostrils"
performing the office of the human
and oming down on the lower

heavy upper lip, joined to the human
features belowf gave to the face at '
once a revolting and hideous appear-
ance, and the same time excited the
most unbounded curiosity. . lhe ne-
gro girl who carries this wonderful
combination of features is named
Frances McClellan. She was raised
old, and dives on the farm ot Mrs.
Mflri.llan nhnnt. ton mik from this
city. ' Her presence on the street
aroused Such a degree of , curiosity
that she soon determined to ! hide
from public gaze, and thus avoid the
inquiries that her presence naturally
suggested. ller presence in the
county seems to have been entirely
unknown outside of the neighborhood
until she visited this city Wednesday
