A SUCCESSFUL CAREER.-In the
early rush to California, a poor boy,
named Charles Crocker, crossed the Mis-
souri, with an OK team at Omaha, on his
toilsome overland journey to the new
gold regions. Nineteen years aitcrward
to day, he arrived at Omaha on his
first return visit to his old Eastern home.
He came accompanied by. his family, in
his own special car, for he is now Super
intendent of the Central Pacific Railroad.
and every mile of it has been built un-
der his supervision. He may we'll feel
an honorable pride in the great work
with which he has been so closely i,lonti-
fled. His party were four days from
Sacramento to Omaha; and on arriving
there delighted the citizens with bloom
ing foowers, and feasted them upon ber-
ries, oranges and luscious cherries from
California, brought upon Alaska ice,
1900 miles, through the green valley of
the Pacific slope, and through the lingcr-
ing snow drifts of the Rocky Mountains
1t seems like story from the Arabian
Knights.

AN EXTRAORDINARY MAN.-One Of

AN EXTRAORDINARY MAN.-One of
the most extraordinary cases OF peculiar
formation in the human body we wit
messed few days since at Connelly's
Hotel, Mercer, in the person ofa colored
man, stranger. 1t is hardly correct
perhaps, to call it case of malformation,
as the phenomena were entirely internal,
the man presenting no unusual appear
ance whatever. The person, by some
inward muscular power, which he cannot
explain, can shift the position of his
heart at will We went to see him, not
believing half that we had been told,
but were convinced in less time than
1t takes to write it. He requested US to
satisfy ourselves that his heart was in
che position usually occupied by that
organ. Placing our hand on his breast
we could feel its beating distinctly. He
commenced series of contortions with
his abdomen, rolling it over and over
several times. At the conclusion of this
striking exhibition, we placed our hand
upon lump in his left side below his
waist, and there was the heart humping
away as if nothing unusual was the
matter. a few contortions and the frisky
organ passed across the abdomen, and on
the right side kept up its work of throw
ing the blood through the system as
segalarly as if in its natural position.
M0re contortions and it travelled back
home, its course being easily traced
nnder the skin till it passed under the
ribs. The man then commenced sort
of rotary motion of the bowels, apparently
turning them over several times, when
We felt complete set of ribs covering
the abdomen, the regular set being in
Z their usual place. Turning the bowels
in the opposite direction the false ribs
disappeared. On being asked if his par
euts had more ohildr,n like him, he
replied that he had brother over six
! feet high, who could reduce his stature
TO something less than three feet. We
believe him readily after having witnessed
the above psTformance.--Erchange

with wellstocked corn crib and meat
house, all home made, is net with small
meshes. Money may not be so plenty
there, but it takes but little to do.
There are two classes of farmers-one
depends mostly on the cotton crop, the
other mostly on the provision crop The
former are as rule generally "hard up"
The latter are independent.
