be would be ehawed up like piece of baccy.
Well, while he was thinkin' the matter over

q tremendous, great, long, enduring yell, like
panther, and then seizes the tail in his teeth
and bit away like shark. Up runs the bear
as fast as she could, dragging Ellice after her,
who when he got to the top, gave another
nip and another yell, and then slid down the

"THE STR6HGEsT MAN IN THE WORLD

and before the audience generally were aware

ANCIENT MINES IN NEBRAsKA.-An inter.
estng discovery of ancient mines has been
made in Nebraska, about seven miles from
Wyoming. They are. the most extensive op-
erations Of ancient miners ever discovered on
the continent. For miles in extent the
whole country is literally torn up aud thrown
into the most fantastic and promiscous ridges
hilocks, cutters, trenches. shafts, &c. There
are remains Of furnaces, chimneys, stone walls
and earth houses, fragments of jugs, glass
bottles, and many other things too numerous
to mention. Rocks have been drilled and
blasted evidently with some explosive materi.
al, stone dressed with the hammer, and every
evidence of the operations having been carri-
ed on by civilized men. Old California mi.
ners who have visited these mines say that it
would perhaps cost millions of dollars to do
the work that has been done there, and the
appearance Of the surface is similar TO the
placers of California where the miners have
been at work. What the mineral was, has
not yet been fully ascertained, but this is soon
to be tested by parties skilled in metallurgy.
1t isSenerally thought the metal was gold
or silver. The mines are SO ancient that
there are large oak trees growing upon them.

Franklin's Son;

Speaking of the son Of DR.. Franklin, the
Newburyport Herald says:
"As the name of Franklin is prominently
before the public. it may not be unnteresting n
to give some account of bis only son, Viii.
liam. about whom we think little is known by
the community at large. Unlike his father
whose chief claim is for the invaluable ser.
vices he rendered his country in her greatest
need, the son was, from the first to the last,
q devoted loyalst. Before the revolutionary
war he held several civil and military Offices
Of Importance. At the commencement of
the war, he held the Office of Governor of
New Jersey; which appointment he received
in l775. When the difficulty between the
mother country aud the colonies was coming
to a crisis, he threw his whole influence in
favor OF loyalty, and endeavored to prevent
the Legislative Assembly of New Jersey
from sustaining the proceedings of the Gene.
raj Congress Of Philadelphia. These efforts,
however, did but little to stay the tide of
popuaar sentiment in favor of resistance to
tyranny, and soon involved him in difficulty.
He was deposed from Office by the wings, to
give place to William Livingston, and sent
u prisoner to Connecticut, where he remained
two years in East Windsor, in the house of
Captain Ebenezer Grant, where the Theolo-
gical Seminary now stands. In l77S be was
exchanged, and soon after went to England.
There he spent the remainder of his life, re.
ceiving a pension from the British govern.
ment for his fidelity. He died in 1913, at
the age Of So.
As might have been expected, his oppos.
tion to the cause of liberty so dear to the
heart OF his father, produced an enstrange.
ment between them. For years they had no
intercourss-when, in 1884, the son wrote
the father. In his reply. DR.. Franklin says !:
Nothing has ever hurt me so much, and
affected me with such deep sensation, as to
find myself deserted, in my old age, by my
only son and not only deserted, but to find
him taking up arms against me in cause
wherein my good fame, fortune and life were
all at stake"
In bis will, also he aludes to the part his
son had acted. After making some bsquests
he adds:
"The part be acted agaus. me in the late
war, which is public notority, will account for
my leaving him no more OF my estate he er-
deavored to deprive me Of"
The patriotism Of the father stands forth
all the brighter when contrssted with the de.
ssrtiou OF his son.

Four EYED MANA new wonder has
been discovered in New York, in person
of man named Karl Saul, who it is assert
ed, has four eyes He has one pair in the
usual place and another in the back of his
head. A correspondent of the Ecening
Post, who enjoys the acquaintance of the n.
divdual. says that "both sets Of eyes are
perfect, and be sees backwards and forwards
at the same, with equal ease, eomprehendiDg
at glance eveything within the range Of
his vision either way. The objects which he
simultaneously beholds be will describe with
wonderful accuracy. Indeed. be is remarka-
ble for his descriptive powers. MIR. Saul is
a man Of extreme diffidencs, and the pecu-
liarity of his visual construction has been
carefully concealed, and has heretofore been
known only to some of his most intimate
frierds. The back or his head is quite fat !;
but he has long hair, which effectually con.
ceals the large eyes, which are generally pro-
tected by bandags." As, if the above is
not wonderful enough the correspondent OF
the Post makes the following wonderful state
msnt: HE is highly intelligent and social
in bis habits, and owns considerable prop.
erty, which he has accumulated by honest
industry.

The SIN OF DANoNG.-Ths Rev. James
l.. Corning, the Presbyterian minister Of Buf.
falo, whose lectures on The Christian Law
Of Amusement" have occasioned some com.
ments, is 10 favor of dancing, at least as it is
practiced ION the Highlands Of Scotland and
the greenswards of Switzerland, and the ru-
raj districts Of Germany" He objects
strongly to fashionable suppers and parties,
and would seem to speak, in the following
passage, not without personal observation
"Why, l have sat beside a protesting
Christian woman in one of the beautiful par.
lors of fashionable metropolitan avenue,
whose jewelsd neck, and ears and fingers, and
dazzling brocade, as much q said to the as
semhled guests, none of your dresses cost as
much as mine I and then have seen her 60
into the supper room and eat enough to make
swine have gripes Of conscience, and then
come out, obese, and painting for breath, made
maryelously religious by sandwiches and cham
pagne, and wind up the farce with a pious
discourse on the sin OF dancing. Now,
think that if she had transported portion o!
her conscience from her slippers to her stom-
ach, though she might have an inch or two
less OF phylaetery, the loss would have been
compensated by several additional yards Of
/ Christian consistency"
