A Wonderful Negro i'm Ohio.
[From the Washington (Ohio) Herald I

[From the Washington (Ohio) Herald I
A colored man is at present stopping
in this place, who attracts here, as he has
in other places where he has been, a
great dea' of attention by'ohe singular
power he possesses of disarrauglng cer-
tain organs of his body.
BY some inward muscular action he
Seems to possess the power of changing
the location of his heart at pleasure
Placing our hand upon his breast, Mt the
ptoper place. we could feel its beating
distinctly. He then commenced Sc.
ries Of conloftions with his abdomen,
rolling it over and over several times.
At the conclusion of this striking exhibi-
ton, we placed ot,r hand upon n lump in
his left side below his waist, and there
was the heart humping away as if moth
ing unusual was the matter A few
more contortions, and the frisky organ
passed across the abdomen, and on
the right side kept up It's work of
throwing the blood through the sys
tenn as regularly as if in its natural
position. More contortions, and it trav-
eled back home. its course being easily
traced under the skin till it passed un-
der the ribs. The man tlien commenced
a 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 their usual place. Turning the
bowels in the opposite direction. the false
ribs disappeared. On being asked if his
mother had any more children like him,
be replied that he had a brother over
six feet high, who could reduce his sta
ture to something less than three feet.
We believe him readily, after having
witnessed the above performances.
Another curious feature about him is
that he can not be choked. He allows
any one to grasp him by the throat, and
use his utmost strength to stop his
breathing; but in spite of all his endeavs
ors he continues to talk as if nothing was
wrong.

''BOnnie Annie E4sagarie.''

Almost every one is familiar with the
sweet song OF ''Annie Laurie though it
may not be generally known that the
fair-faced maiden was not creature of
imagination but an actual verify of whose
ancestry honorable mention is made in
Scottish history.
Stephen Laurie was a Aourishing
Dumfries merchant before James VI be-
came King. Prior to 1911. he married
Marion, daughter of Provost Coran-get-
ting with her handsome marriage por-
ton. His wealth enabled ehim to ptrs
chase of Sir Robert Gordon of Lochin-
var, Bithbought, Shall Castle and Max
wellton whose "braes are bonnie Ste-
phen Laurie, then man of many acres,
took, the designation of Maxwellton, lea
wing, at his death, his lands and titles
to his eldest son, John.
The next head of the house was Rob-
ert, baronet. He was twice married,
and had, by his second wife, three sons
and four daughters. The birth Of one
of the lattcr-is thus entered in the farni,
ly register by her father: SAT the pleas
ure of Almighty God, my daughter, An
ME Laurie, was born upon the 10th day
of December, 1852 years, about six
o'clock in the morning, and was bapti-
zed by Mr.. Geo. Hauter," (minister of
GlenclairD. as~.s ..z
This minute is worth quoting, as the
little stranger, whose entry into life it
announces, grew to be the most beauti-
full Dumfriessian lady of the day, and

ed her charms immortal:
"Her brow is like the snow drift,
Her throat is like the swan, @
Her face it is the fairest
That e'er the sun shone cn-4
That eer the sun shone on,
And dark blue is her eye,
And for bonnie Annie Laurie
I'd lay me down and die.''
The well-knoWn lyric, of which these
lines form a part, was composed by Mr.
Douglas Finland, an admirer OF ''bounie
Annie" who did, not. however, return his
affection; but married his rival, Alexan
der Ferguson.

Chinese Labor Inn Texas
IFrom the Galveston Civilian. |

The experiment with Chinese labor in
Texas has now been three months in
operation, and from every point of view
has proved decided success. The tes-
timony Of President Baker and the Off
GERS of the Central railroad, in the fur
ther construction of which the first body
Of Chinese brought to Texas is at work,
is unanimous as to the satisfactory de-
pertinent in every way Of the men en-
ployed. Steady at their work, industri-
GUS when contract hours of labor have
expired, sober, frugal, willing and mind
full of the stipulations of their agreement,
but exacting in the fulflnent of those
in their favor, is the sum of the evi-
dence in relation to them. They find
no inconvenience in the climate, and en-
ioy good health thus far nor do they am
ticipate any inability to stand the high
er temperature of the coming summer.
In contrast with this state of affairs
among the Chinese stands the fact that a
number of the Swedes who came to Ia
Dor on the same work have already Civ
en- up their contract, and left for Min
nesota, declaring that they cannot en-
dure the hot sun, and must seek cold.
er climate. We think this result set.
ties the question as to the class Of labor
that must be. sought to revive the dfoop-
ing industry Of our coast country.
For railway construction. we are in.
formed that President Baker, of the
Texas Central, President Young, of the
Northern, and Receiver Crosby, Of the
Houston and New Orleans railroad, al
unite in the opinion that Chinese labor
| is the only labor that they can depend
upon under the present circumstances
that attend the State. With this con.
yiction, two Of the three parties above
mentioned already contemplate a large
increase in the number Of Chinese il
their employment.

WASHINGTON.
Glimpses OfHis Habits aud Gpis
ions.

An original letter just published for the
first time gives some interesting gimpseE
of the habits and opinions of the Father
of his Country. While ths federal city
was building, the Legislature Of Penn
sylvania voted the President d house,
hoping, perhaps, to keep the seat Of the
government in Philadelphia The house
formerly occupied as the University OF
Pennsylvania was accordingly built for
that purpose. But as soon as General
Washington saw its dimensions, and a
good while before it was finished, he
let it be known that he would not occu.
py it-that he certainly should not go to
the expense of purchasing suitable fur
niture for such dwelling, and hired in
stead a modest but comfortable resi-
dence.
The President ate Indian cakes for
breakfast, after the Virginia fashion,
although buckwheat cakes were gener-
ally on the table. Washington's dining
parties were entertained in a very hand
some style: His weekly dining day,
for company, was Thursday. and his
dining hour was always 4 o'clock in the
afternoon. His rule was to allow five
minutes for the variation of clocks and
watches, and then go to the table, be
present or absent whoever might He
kept his own clock in the hall, just with
in the outer door, and always exactly
regulated. When tagging members of
Congress came in, as they often did,
after, the guests had sat down to dinner,
the Presidents only apology was :
Gentlemen Tor sir), we are too pune
tual for you. have a cook who never
asks whether the company has come,
but whether the hour has come" He
was always dressed in suit Of black,
his hair powdered, and tied in black
queue behind. with very elegant dress
sword, which he wore with inimitable
grace Mrs. Washington often, but not
always, dined with the company, sat at
the head Of the table, and if, as was oc-
casionally the case, there were other la
dies present, they sat each side of her.
The President sat half way from the
head to the foot Of the table, land on that
side he would place Mrs. Washington
though distant front him, on his righ:
hand. He always, unless a clergyman
were present, asked a blessing in q
standing posture. If a clergyman was
present he was requested to ask bles'
sing and to return thanks after dinner

Bachelors and Fiirts.

Some old bachelors git after airt,
and can't travel so fast as she dog, and
then conclude all the female group are
hard to ketch, and good for nothing
when they are ketched.
A fiirt is a rough thing to overhaul
unless the right dog gets after her, and
then they are the easiest ovawl to ketch,
and make the very best Of wives.
When a fiirt really falls in love she
is as powerless as a mown daisey.
Her impudence then changes into mo-
desty, her cunning into fear. her spurs
into a halter, her pruning into cradle.
The best way to keteh firtis tew
travel the other way from which they
are going, or sit down on the ground and
whistle some lively tune till the hirts
come round. Old bachelors make the
firts, and then the hirts get more than
ever by making the old bachelors
A majority Of firts get married final
ly, for they have got great quantity OF
the most dainty titbits Of wonan's ma
ture, and alwus have shrudeness to back
up their sweetness.
Disappointed luv must, Of course, be
all on one side, and this amt any more
an excuse for being an old bachelor than
it is for man to quit all kinds Of manu-
al labor just for spite. and jine poor
house bekause he kant Lift q tun at one

Woman :st the Polls.

Rev. DR.. Hatfield, Of Chicago, breaches
to this effect on female suffrage: Bad
women, however, would flock to the
polls. 'Pheir interests could not fail Of
being the interest of the brothel and
of the ward and pot-house politicians.
Decent women would be driven
away from the ballot-box, and instead
of the much-vaunted purity of the vote
we should only have still deeper and
darker compatibility. What the infu-
ence of woman in politics has been it is
easy to note. That it has never been
beneficial is matter of undeniable his
tory. Female lobbyists at Washington
have brought an untold amount of mis-
cry upon the country, and if we wish to
have our country swarm with Mrs. Cobbs
we have only to aid in this agitation.
Not only would women be injurious to
politics, but politics would provs a Sc
rious injury TO them. To those who
then inploringly ask, can nothing be
done for women it is said yes
Train them to fulfil the duties of life
as wives and mothers. Seek TO assist
them tn attain the best edueations.
They should be, above all things, taught
to make home comfortable, and to fit
themselves to become the helpmeets OF
honest men. When these grand ends
were attained; then the question of wo-
mans suffrage and of woman's labor
would be found to be fully and satisfac-
torily settled.

The Pope OF Jewish Descent.
From the Jewish Messenger, |

+ Z
A correspondent Of the Vienna Tage-
blatt reports that the Mastais--the fam
lily Of the present Pope-are jews Of
the purest blood Of the sons Of Israel,
This fact might possibly explain the
secret affection Of the Pope for the Jews,
and the ready zeal with which be re-
moved the barriers Of the Ghetto soon
after his accession to the papal chair.
The Maistais obtained the title Of Count
through marriage, from Countess For
retti, mother Of Pious TX, who was 4
defendant of an ancient family of Sin
igaglia The Countess Ferretti mar
ried the son Of converted Jew from
Sinigaglia. Marc Gonsulini, according
to some Of the present ardinal Consoh-
ri, according 10 others his brother1, pub
lished, after the election Of the present
Pope, work about the Jewish descent
of the family Of Mastai. The Mastais
could never forgive the publication Of
the genealogy Of their house. One Of
the frss acts Of the new Pope was the
removal VI Consolini from all honorary
Offices, and not before The last three
years did his Holiness grant him the
Cardinals hat, an honor he would 9TH
