A BIG STORY AND A BIG MAN.

correspondent of Cairo paper gets OFF
the following genuine specimen of big talking
1t beats Davy Crocket:
John Waterbury, a brakesman on Tom Fay's
train, is an original genius aud a remarkable
man. His weight is two hundred and eighty,
rawboned, with dangerous speed in the strife,
broad shoaldered. strong jawed, with ist that
has half horse power. WheH they whistle
down breaks, he brings up the train so sudden
| that it often breaks the coupling chains.-When
;; he eats, it takes enough for six men, and he
drinks whisky out of a quart cup, then knocks
the Landlord through board fence inside
of house, if he wants any pay. He is under
ive hundred dollar bond no: to strike man
at Sandoval for fear of iniuring the buildings,
they being slightly built. His hair is as course
hay, and stands up like the qulls of frot-
full porcupne.' It takes two table cloths to
wipe his nose, and he generally feeds himself
with scoop shovel and dung fork. When he
exerts himself in strip, he usually accumnlates
fourteen pounds and six ounces of lamp oil and
dirt and is not allowed to wash himself in any
stream smaller than the Wabash for fear Of
cholera
Once when old jerks 'cused him he turned
and whipped nineteen Irishmcn out of revenge.
He has to ride with his back to the and let
his toes stick out the platform, it being
too narrow for the length of his feet. His
great toe looks like a sea turtles head, and his
nose like young robin held by the head with
the big eud down, brilliant and pited like ripe
| strawberry ; his eyes have twinkle of good
humor and a great fascination for the fair. The
skin of his face lays in fold, like the skin of a
rhinocoros his teeth look like cogs in a mill
wheel he has to have his hat made to order,
and when he looses it, he wears water bucket
with the bail under his chin. He will travel
| this summer but can be seen for a few days at.

Poetry SObered Down.

I'm thinking of the time, Kate, when sitting
by thy side, and shelling beans, l gazed on
thee, and felt wondrous pride. In silence
leaned we DER the pan, and neither spoke q
word, but the ra,ting of the beans, Kate was
all the sound we heard. Thy auburn curls
hung down, Kate, and kissed thy lily check;
thy azure eyes half filled with tears, bespoke a
spirit meek. To be so charmed as l was then
had ne'er before occurred, when the rattlipg of
the beans, Kate, was all the sound 1 heard
thought it was not wrong, Kate, so leaning
DER the dish, you snatched up lot of beans
snatchcd nectared KISS. And sudden
shower made my eyes blind, and l neither
or stirred, but the rattng of the beans, Kate,
was all the sound | heard.

TROUBLE AMONG THE METHoDIsrs.-There is
a terrible difficulty among the Methodists of
the Wesley Chapel at indianapolis. An in
novation, TO some of the members of the church
intolerable, has been decrecd by those who ex-
ercise the "litt!e brief authority" of the church.
The innovation is nothing less awful and wretch
ed than the promscuous seating of the congre-
cation. Tat is, the ladies and gentlemen are
not to be amy longer constrained to separate in
the house of God, but are to be permitted to
take seats promiscuously. 10 large number
of the old folks, this is the most horrible Of hor-
rors The result is division of the church,
Four of tile members published in the Indian.
apols Journal card explaining the matter
to the public. They set forth that the mode of
separating the sexes in the church is the good
old styIe---that they have found in it no prac-
tical inconvenicnce-that they regard it from
principle as "a distinctive and most valuable
feature among those pc pular elements which
have contributed largely to the rapid speed
and success of that branch of Gods Church in
which we bclong.' They have resisted the pro-
posed change by all legal means and must go
elsewhere They asked that the statements
which follow might be spread upon the church
records Refused their boon, they rush INTO
print as follows
To Rer james Hill, Preacher IN charge, Tcsfey
CAapei Mdsamapolss:
The undersigned, members of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, connected with the society
at Wesley Chapel, indianapolis, are unable to
conform to the innovation recently introduced
into the mode of worship in that house, and re-
gard it as a departure from usages long estah
lisIcd, under which we have not only enjoyed
personal comfort in the house of prayer, but
also spiritual prosperity. We regret to be
compelled, from what think conscientious
convictions of duty, to separate ourselves from
a spot endeared to US by many pleasing recol-
lectionS; but we hold that the entire freedom
of .le seats in our churches only be pre-
served by adhering to a separation of the sexes;
and that Inconvenience and discomforts OF
what is called promiscuous seating, instead OF
permitting it to serve compromise between
q separation of the sexes, and the exclnsiveness
Of pews, will necessarily and speedily lead 10
the latter We, therefore ask that our ie''Si
be made out as soon as convenient.
