Feats of Strength.


DIR. Geo b. Windship, Of Roxbury, Mass,
seems to have practised successfully accord
ing to the ancient story Of the wrestler who
began with carrying q young calf one
day, and by repeating his ehert cpery day,
was able to carry the creature with equal
ease, when he had become a ful-sized OK
He began training himself when in his 18th
year, at college, and had kept it up, He
gave illustrations Of his power and diseoursed
on the subject Of gymnastics in Boston, a
few days ago.
Gymnasiums, he showed, had their abuses,
from persons not properly trained trying to
out-do others Exhaustion and weariness
should never be allowed 10 come. Lifting
was a neglected branch, on account of the
tendency of pscp4c TO injure themselves with
il. Yet to thorough hardening of the
whole body, lifting was necessary. He had
commenced with five hundred pounds, and
had increased gradually, till on the 18th of
May past, he had lifted nine hundred aud
twenty-six lbs.
Not long since, with his hands and back
together, he had lifted 1900 pounds. There
was a vast difference between lifting and sus-
tanning. He would not advise any one to
train themselves TO lift over 500 pounds with
the hands, or 2OO0 with the straps. He had
gone beyond that 20 ascertain what could be
done. Totten and the Belgian giant were
the only persons he had ever learned authen-
tically to have lifted 800 pounds. Totten
lived 100 years ago, and was 80 years when
he lifted it. DR.. w. said he had five years
yet to that, and he hoped to train himself to
lft 1000 pounds clear.
Next to lifting dumb bells were useful.
One Of his own weighed l41 pounds, and
others 100 pounds each. He was feet
inches high, and weighed 1853 pounds. In
reference to praetioing, he would say, Try no
feat twice on the SINE day, II il was found
TO tire or exhaust In the AlighteAt degree.
lie handled bells Of "a and os lbs. weight
at arms-Tength, brandished them over his
head, and made other displays to show thq
assembly that ''sone things can be, done aa
wen as Others" by some folks.

one was applied 10 his bare back, after which
he was discharged.
Every Jail IN North Carolina Is provided

When saw, at a Dublin theatre, the whole
house TO man get on their legs, and howl
ut the manager because he wouldn't introduce
n national jig in the middle of La SomHdm-
buia, said, "Ihe Irish are an ereitd6ie peo-
pie"
When a Killarney guide swore to me on
the tomb Of his grandmother, that there was
a small lake up in Mullacap, county Kerry,
which contained giant eel, that swan twice
round the inclosure every day at two o'clock,
with pan of old gould tied to his tail,
said, "Ihe Irish are a supersfitious people
When a Tipperary landlord in Galway
railway carriage, told me he was surnamed
1.-The Woodcock," because he had been shot
a; so often by the "noblest tinantry" and
missed, said, "Ihe Irish are a rerengeJm
people"
When saw my friend Mike Rooney's best
out the rain, snid, The Irish are a thought

And lastly, when / refused the beggar-
woman at Castlebar hnlfpenny, and she
ironically hoped "the Lord would make my
bed that night in heat en-" / said, "Ihe Irish
are a citfy people"
