The present Is the slxlh time that her

For a long tlmo a lump has been oh
servablo In the side of thu Jiw of a
liorso belonging to Superintendent Or
bison, of the (iould A- lleleher and Host
& lleleher mines. The lump lay in near
tho jaw.bonc, ami could be moved
nbout under the skin. It seemed very
hard, and no liniment had power to
soften or to drive il a.wnj Yesterdav
a veterinary surgeon made an incision,
and to his aMonlMimoul and that of all
present brought to He-lit a h.ir.1 nml
smooth stone, ab.ut two Inches long
.mil ono Inch in dliineter. Tho stone
was of u yellowish white color, nnd np
parent ly us hard its marble. In order
to make sum as to the nature of tho
stone, Mr. Orblon took il to the Jewel
ry store of M. M. Fmderick and had It
sawed In two lengthwise. When the
stone was thus cut in two them was
seen in tho center what had .inc.. tin.
doubtedly lieen a grain of barley, half
oi wmen wjvs visioin in each piece of
tho stone, tho grain looking an though
petrltled. Around this nuelen th
stone had formed in rogular layers or
growths, i ho rings of wliich were ills
tinctly to bo traced. The material of
which tho stone was formed appeared
lo lie tho samo found lu tho incrusta
tions on tho tubes of boilers. It is
thought that tho grain of barley pierced

p Palace. Put upon Ids trial at tho
Old Ualloy, ho persisted in pleading
guilty, and was very properly sentenc
ed hy Mr. Huron Cleasby to a year's
bard labor nnd twenty strokes with a
nlrch rod.
Such Is tho history of tho most noto
w orthyattonipU which have been made,
not to nsnasMnato but to frighten tho
queen. In all it is mom than doubtful
whether any serious intention existed.
Pate nml OVonnor, nlthough not ju
dicinllj found insane, wore yet, beyond
a I question, so far lunatic as to Justify
their detention. Oxford was admitted
lyoutof his mind, and uch"nlil.t la.
terest an still attaches to the records of
ins trial centers in tlm question w beth
el tlm two pistols which hu discharged
were actually loaded with hall, or
whether, llku thu silly toy of the boy
O'Connor, they wero no" better than
empty popguns.
'I ho present charge is one even less
worthy of sorbins consideration than
thoo which It follows. Instead of fir
ing a pistol, whether loidcd or not, at
tho queen, or presenting n pistol at her,
or even going so far as to hit bur with
a stick, the man Madden, who is old
enough to know better, Is charged, in
so fir as the facts of the case have been
at present made public, with writing to

bedded itself in tho tlesh : that tlm -..
liva from tho mouth of tho animal then
flowed in on tho barley ami deposited
upon it limey matter, such as some
times forms upon tho teeth of nieu and
animals. A small concretion having
thus been formed it grew to be a nod
ule of the size mentioned, the channel
by which the grain of barlej entered
having no doubt remained open all the
time, thus allowing of an inflow of the
salivary matter from which the stone
was deposited. None of our veterin
