NOTE-SOme surprise has been ex-
pressed that these sketches have not ema-
mated from the father of Hans Patrick LIE
COnnor, as he must have been more fa-
miliar with the early life of his son than
any one else. In the first place, it is not
positively known that Hans Patrick ever
had father, or that he ever had any use
for one. Great men are seldom encum>
bered with such annoyances. Who ever
heard of Napoleon Bonaparte's father, or
Julius Caesars, or Oliver CromweIl's? If
Bonaparte's father had attempted the early
life of his son he would have been thrown
into the Bastile quicker than he could
have said Jack Robinson-particular as
that name is somewhat difficult to pro-
nounce In the French language. The
subject Of this history has therefore chosen
to ignore the existence of paternal pro-
genitor and entrust his life in the hands of
his revered uncle.

| Hans Patrick was the first boy in the
whole community to rip hole in the
canvas and slide in. This was doubly
gratifying to him, as it enabled him to
see the mules and appeased his appetite
for ripping up canvas. If there was an
elephant along, he would get ten cents
however, he would eat the apples himself
and persuade other boys to feed the eIe-
| phant. This fact gave rise TO remark
able saying, which is now very generally
quoted, to wit: Charity begins at a circus.
| must not overlook one other event in
the history of our young hero, which l
regard as having exercised an important
| influence on his whole life. l was build>
ing log house in Green county. The
logs were to be hewn foot square and
fifteen feet long. These had to be hauled
about two miles to the place where the
house was being erected. l generally
worked very large pair Of mules, and
Hans Patrick told me one day, if | would
buy him new knife (of about the size
suitable for ripping open circus tents), he
would haul logs one day by himself and
save the expense of hired hand. He
was then twelve years of age, and small
of his size. l told him it was impossible
for him to load the logs by himself, but
he insisted he could do it with perfect
ease, and | told him he might make the
trial. | then sent the hired man secretly
to watch him and see that no accident
should happen. In about two hours the
wagon appeared, Bringing a huge load of
logs.
GLOW in the world did you manage to
to load % l Inquired, for 1 considered it
utterly impossible for him to have accom-
plished the feat alone.
"Oh," said he, ''the mules and load
ed"
'FThe mules and you'll What do you
mean Z"
He then explained how he had managed.
BY hitching the horses to the side of the
wagon, he had contrived to upset it over
pile of logs. BY means of log chain
they were firmly fastened, the mules re-
hitched and the wagon pulled right side
up again, when, Of course, it was loaded.
The remainder Of my logs were hauled in
this manner bought him three new
knives the next day, and the next circus
that came that way went out of town with
a mammoth rent in the canvas.
While living with me Hans Patrick
used to take my stock to water. 1t was
no uncommon thing for him to stand upon
barebacked mule three feet high and
ride mile at time without falling off
He began to practice this sort of eques-
trlanlsm by standing upon the back of an
OK, that furnishing a broader and safer
foundation than the mules. Once he was
accompanied by companion, who at
TEMPTED to stand Npon another OK The
attempt was too much for him. He
slipped up and fell off, slid down a bill
several hundred feet into barrel of ice
water, and was drowned
My hero was very fond of planting
small grain. For many years he was in
the habit of sowing all my oats He
would stay in the field and toll all day,
and if at night he had any oats left he
would 60 and sow them in the woods.
These lie facetiously termed ''wild oats. -
He acquired such passion for this kind
of sport that he sometimes practices it
even now, merely to remind him Of his
boy-hood, suppose.

MOULDED HATs.-A new American
invention for making light waterproof

mentioned among the recent patents.
Straw hats, eff the desired dimensions and
shape, are first made in the usual way,
and after being sized, TO protect them from
injury, are coated with black lead bronze
powder is suggested as better than the
lead) and copper wires passed around in
various directions, to serve as conductors
The whole is then immersed in bath of
sulphate Of copper, and connected with a
battery. A thin film of pure copper is
first deposited on the straw and the wires
then removed; after which the film is al
lowed to become sufficiently thick TO resist
the pressure of moulding. The copper
cast is then cleaned, dried, and the straw
burned out The prepared paper pulp is
pressed into tie mould and allowed TO dry
there; the hat thus formed shrinking
sufficiently TO admit Of its being readily
