Faults of Volapitk.
.New Yoik Herald: Pul whde tho
new language presents many chnrm.
ing possibilies, the lexicograjdiers
have very unaccountably omitted
to provide for some of the most
necessary words of the times.
Strangely enough, for instance,
they have not provided cuts words
of any kind. This oversight is the

Ami Ieiides thtse very necessaiy

hero are a few that tdionhl never

California Anif rlcan,
A prominent member of the
American party in California, in an
interview, states as follows :
"The American party is not, as
Pixlsy, in the Argonaut, strives to
make out, favorable to Stanford.
While esteeming him a a good ni-in
and all that, he has never embraced
American principles and conse

hich he is, consequently!
his affiliation with lh party
antagonizes many people who would!
otherwise bo with us. Tho Ameri
can party has long ago ceased to be
an appendage of tbe Argonaut, but
while we wish Piiley to remain with
us we are decidodly averse to hii
action in using us for pushing Mr.
Stanford's caudidacy. Hewitt is our
man and I sincerely trust we may
obtain him for our next president.

V siiitfnlur Colt.
Joseph 0. Lancaster, living north
west of Trtitsville, Mo., has a colt
eight months old that is a most
singular phenomenon of nature.
When foaled the only peculiarity
about it was that it had very little
hair on it, nnd its upper lip seemed
longer than usual with colts and was
of n singular tdiapo; otherwise it was
a well formed colt. Tho hair, what
(hero was on it, was n mouse color.
When about ouo month old tbe
colt's upper lip bad grown larger
aud assumed a conical form. Its
upper lip hns continued to grow
until it is now eight and one half
inches long and almost like an
elephant's trunk. It can pick up
small potatoes and apples with its
trunk (if wo may call it luch), but
c.innof bend it sufficiently to enable
it to put the apple or potato in its
mouth. The mother of the colt was
