The Wedding Of Giants.

A few days ago, the cable announced
the prospective marriage in England of
the Kentucky giant, Captain Bates, and
the Nova Scotia giantess, Miss Anna
Swan. This Bates Swan wedding, which
came off few days ago, was, we are
told, the tallest one of the season. Bates
is eight feet long when lying down, and
just about eight feet high when standing
up! Laying or standing, he weighs 400
pounds! Ii we remember correctly,
Bates is production Of Boone county,
Ky. At all events, few years ago he
paid occasional visits to Cincinnati, and
the ovation he received from the news
boys on such occasions would have made
anybody but stout man quail. The
bride OF Bates is few inches taller than
her husband, and about the same weight.
1t is not stated where the bride procured
her wedding trouSSeou, but is estimated
there were about six acres of it. 1t is
not stated, either, what business Mr..
Bates proposes to follow, but if he does
not keep a dry-goods store, he ought to
establish one cotton mill, at least, to
manufacture wardrobes, because if the
two dress in the latest fashions, and use
goods in proportion to bulk or size, they
will have to charter or buy mill, and
keep it in operation all the time. Then,
in the course Of events, there may be
some little giants and giantesses also to
be clothed. Therefore the best thing
for the masculine to do is to get possession
of cotton mill, and as soon as possible
rent cotton plantation.

French Peasants During the War.

II / am asked what was the attitude of
the peasants during the war and between
the two armies, reply that their behav-
ior was the most famentable of all the
lamentable spectacles in this unhappy
struggle, 1t is among the peasants that
the results of ignorance and selfshness
have exhibited themselves in the most
striking manner. In the Ardennes the
people were not heroic, but at any rate
they assisted the French Army, helped
the wounded, and were not utterly vile
before the enemy but in Normandy and
the Beauce, where I was afterward sta
toned, the state OF decentralization was
frightful. The peasants were too selfish
to make the least sacrifice for their own
soldiers and thus both from fear and
from interest became subservient to the
Germans, furnishing them with provi-
sions and other assistance. The people
of Bonnieres, between Nantes and
Evreux, were weak enough to send their
letters to the Prussians at Nantes that
they might beread before being forward
ed to ETeux. With rare exceptions
they did nothing for the wounded but
if We happened to be successful in an
action, cannot describe the low ferocity
with which they turned upon the Ger
mans, before whom they had so recently
been cringing. At Oucques the ambu-
lance had some difficulty in preventing
two wounded Bavarians from being
massacred by the people. A st. Leon
and a peasant actually amused himself
with pulling the broken leg of a German,
for the mere sake of causing him torture.
At Ouzouer the people thronged round
n solitary wounded officer, and assailed
him with threats and insults of all kinds.
And their stupidity was equal to their
wickedness, They were constantly mis-.
taking us for Germans on account of our
flag, and of the ambulance cross on our
sleeves. They were certain that we were
in communication with the Prussians,
because we were not afraid of them !;
and accused us of firing rockets to point
out the position of the army to the
enemy, At Sommanthe they were con-
vinced that the PrussianS had come be-
cause our ambulance was established
there and at Ouzouer it was believed
that We had plundered the wounded, and
that our only object in nursing the
patients was to make money. do not
deny that devoted hearts, and souls
above the common, were occasionally to
be met with. I have heard from peasants
of both sexes golden words, which will
remain in my recollection as long as
live but the great majority, even when
intelligent, are shamefully demOralized,
and scandalously prefligate, selfish and
wicked. Quarrels and scandals rage
with fury in the villages, and even in
the families themselves things occur
which are too bad to be mentioned -

The SWEDISH CoLoNY.-The people of
Maine are highly pleased with the sue
cess Of the new Swedish colony in the
Aroostook region, which now numbers
one hundred families. To each family
farm Of one hundred acres is given
with Il conditional deed, which requires
for the completion of the title that the
ground shall be occupied for five years,
and that at the expiration of that time
fifteen acres shall be under cultivation,
and house shall have been erected.
For the present, those Of the colonists
who are without means are supplied with
the necessaries of life by the State
which they are to repay by labor on the
public roads. All of the colonists are
able to read and write, which is account
ed for by the statement that in Sweden
no person is allowed to marry unless he
so member of the church, and no one
is permitted to join the church until he
can read and write.

Personal Gossip of Horace Greeley.


Mr. McDermott of the Jersey City
Herald, in his personal gossip Of New
York editors, speaks of Horace Greeley Of
tho Tribune, Mr.. Nc d. says:-Mr.
Greeley, early in life went to work for
Mr. West, setting type on the Polyglot
Testament. Mr.. West didn't like his
appearance, and told the foreman Of the
office, for Heavens sake discharge that
stupid looking fellow" But Horace set
q good proof, and was retained. He was
the butt of the printers in the Office.
They called him "the Ghost" The
printers devil used to play tricks on him.
But they all borrowed his money as soon
as he earned it. OF course he never was
paid back. What did such sleepy look
ing fellow want with money anyhow"
was the borrowers argument
On the 10th Of April, 1871, appeared
the first number of the Tribune Mr..
Gregory loaned Greeley and Nc Elrnth
III 900 to start it. 1t printed 5000 and
sold 800 Mr. Greeley says he had
hard work to give the balance away.
He expended the first week 1892 The
receipts were S92. He created sensa-
ton, and he was at once dubbed I" the
philosopher. Beach of the SIN tried to
iniure him by forcing newsboys to stop
selling the Tribune. Greeley exposed the
trick in his paper, and the people rushed
to his assistance, and filed his columns
full of advertisements. The first issue
of the Tribune, Greeley made up the
paper and stayed in the Office till morn
ing.
The compositors were always playing
tricks upon Mr.. Greeley. They were
playing penny-ante one afternoon i'll the
composing room. There was hole in
the floor directly over Greeley's head.
One printer said to another that he would
bet him a drink, he could drop his to-
bacco juice through the hole without
touching the wood. The bet was accept
ed. The stream of tobacco juice fell on
Greeley's bald head. He felt of it and
looked at his fingers Terrible swearing
was heard coming up stairs. The print
ers grabbed their coppers and hid. They
watched Greeley. He had both fists
clinched. He was showing his arms in
and out, striking imaginary blows. 81
can lick the man who spat on my head, )"
he shouted MS he searched around the
office to find the offender He didn't
find him. He took piece Of paper from
the floor, gave his head an angry rub,
and walked down stairs, swearing fear
fully.
When the heating pipes took the place
OF stoves in the Tribune Office, Greeley
entered one cold morning He placed his
exchanges beside him on chair, took
off his boots, warmed his fingers, and
then placed his feet to bake little on
the heating pipes, After remaining in
this cozy position half an hour, some
body entered his room, with the remark,
"Mr. Greeley, we are all freezing. I
think there is something wrong with the
pipes. There hasn't been any steam on
to-day" Greeley glanced at his feet,
pulled on his boots, and never uttered a
word.

BETTING IN ENGIAND.-ln England Il
peculiar question in relation to the pay.
ment of racing debts has been decided
by the Master of the Rolls. Lord
Charles Kerr had made claim against
the estate of the late Marquis of Hast
ings to recover ESQ which his lordship
alleged he had paid on bets made by
direction of the Marquis. The legality
of the claim was objected to by the res
iduary legatees. The Master of the
Rolls allowed the claim, saying if man
made a bet which he was liable to pay
in court of honor, if not in court of
equity, and asked another to pay that
bet on his behalf, the latter would not
be involved in the illegality of the
original contract, but would be entitled
to recover from the person ut whose re-
quest he had paid the money.

THE PARIS SEWERS. The close in
spection which has been made of the
sewers in Paris has already led to the
discovery OF large quantities Of weapons
and ammunition, and also of many ex-
federalist combatants, who, despairing
of escape from the regular troops sought
refuge in the subterranean passages,
with whatever provisions they could Sc
cure. The greater part of these miser-
able creatures are reported by the
Opnion NotiOndle to be in most de-
plorble condition from hunger and the
poisonous atmosphere of their hiding
places. At the angle of the Rue Vavin
and the outer Boulevard the scavengers
found five bodies in the sewer, one that
of an officer, and all mutilated by rats.
The bodies were brought out by means
of ropes, and, after search for papers
and documents, were inferred in the
Mont Parnasse Cemetery.

A New Electrical Theory.

NJ. Becquerel has Just communicated
to the Academy of Science in Paris a
new hypothesis concerning the origin of
atmospheric electricity. In his opinion,
its source resides in the sun, which,
according to the recent discoveries of
Mr.. Norman Lockyer, is surrounded by
an immense envelope Of hydrogen which,
being mixed up with considerable
proportion of watery vapor, is therefore
positively electrified This commune
Gates its fluid to the whole mass of
ethereal substance which fills the inter-
planetary spaces, and thence to our
atmosphere But as the latter is a bad
conductor, the consequence is, accord
ing to our author, that the upper strata
of the air must be saturated with positive
electricity Here, says French journal
we pause to ask what evidence he has, in
the first place, OF the existence Of this
ethereal substance and secondly, of its
conductibility? NJ Becquerel loes not
think it necessary to stop at such de-
tails, but seeks to establish his theory by
various arguments, such as, for instance,
the fact that IN rdcUO an electrified
liquid evaporates more rapidly than
when not in that state and that an
auroraborealis is accompanied by q
noise which he finds to be exactly the
same as that produced by an electric
spark.

A FAMILY OF SUFFERERS We find in
a Milwaukee paper the story OF young
man who, seven years ago, was taken
prisoner by the Black Feet Indians, at
the st. Cloud massacre, the savages kill
ing his fathers family except himself
and one of his sisters, with almost I'M
paralleled barbarity. The Indians took
the boy and his sister away, and with a
tomahawk cut off his left arm, while
with knife they nearly severed the
girls ears. The children were separated,
and they have never met since. The
boy remained under close surveillance
for seven years, and has just managed to
escape. He is represented to be an
honest, simple Frenchman, bearing upon
his body the marks of his terrible tor
lures. He wept when he described the
barbarous murder Of his father, mother,
and two sisters.

CoAn.-The Scranton Republic thinks
it is fact beyond question that there are
at present sent to market not less than
100000 tons of coal per week, At this
rate there would be 26,000,000 of tons
shipped per year. As there have not
been heretofore, and will not during the
next twelve months, be consumed more
than about 100000 of tons-at most
not more than $4,000, 000-it does not re-
quire very competent economist to see
what the result must inevitably be.
Either the present rate of production
must be reduced or there mast be months
OF idleness at some time within twelve
months. At least every fifth ton OF coal
mined is in excess of the demand for
actual consumption.

An Indian Sun Dance,

A correspondent Of a Western paper
gives some revolving details of the Sun
dances" of the Sioux Indians, which
take place annually. About the LIST inst.
the "Sun dance" commenced Mt Chey.
enne. 1t continues "a hours without in
remission, the dancers not even stop
ping for refreshments. 1t is during the
carnival that the young Indians who
aspire to rank among the braves" are
subjected to trying and cruel ordeal.
Incisiens are made in either breast with
n sharp knife, cutting clear to the bone,
when the muscles are raised up and a
steut stick inserted beneath. A similar
incision is made in the back, and stick
passed through the flesh as in the other
case. Then a stout cord is attached to
either end of the stick, so that it may
not draw out, and the cord securely
fastened to the ceiling Of the council
chamber. The candidates for promotion
then commence a dance, jumping for
ward and backward, throwing their
whole weight upon the cord, and they
keep up until the sticks are torn through
the flesh. Tho young Indian who gives
up from pain or exhaustion before he
succeeds in wrenching the sticks from
his body is declared unworthy to be a
warrior, and is forever disgraced in the
eyes of his brethren. The scene is said
to be most revolving one to witness.
The blood streams from the torn and
lacerated flesh, while the devotees with
demoniac yells plunge around in per-
feet frenzy. The spectators applaud
and taunt by turns, melting the poor
wretches to more desperate efforts to
free themselves, until finally, as the last
sinew snaps, and they fall all CORY and
exhausted upon the ground, there is
raised such series of savage whoops
and yels that one could well imagine
himself in veritable pandemonium.

AN ILLINOIS FARM. Twenty years ago,
farm eight miles square in Livingston
county, Illinois, was entered by its pres
ent owner at $1.25 per acre. 1t is now
sub-divided into thirty-two farms of
$50 acres each, every farm being run
by separate sets of hands, the whole
under the direction of the owner, M. L.
Sullivant. There are Is, 900 acres under
the plough $50 miles of hedge fence,
besides other fences $50 miles of ditch
for draining. One hundred men and
four hundred work horses and mules are
employed on the farm, besides two book
keepers, four blacksmiths, and eight
carpenters. An accurate account is
kept with each sub-farm, and with each
man, horse and mule, the animals being
all named or numbered, and charged
with the amount paid for them and their
food, and credited with their labor. The
entire farm, with improvements and per-
sonal property on it, is now valued Mt
about $50, 100000

Suicides in Ireland.

The people of Kilquiggan, County
Wicklow, Ireland, deal in Il summary
way with suicides, perhaps with the
object OF preventing them from repeating
their crime. A tailor named Bryne
hanged himself there couple of weeks
ago and, the coroners jury having re-
turned verdict of temporary insanity,
his remains were inferred in the church
yard under the coroner's warrant. A
night or two afterwards the body was ex-
humcd by unknown persons, conveyed
into the County of Carlow and there
buried in field On the next morning
it was found on cross-road near Cool
kenno with Il hand-barrow, which was
probably used in carrying it, The mag
istrates, seeing that the people would
not let the corpse rest in peace, proceed
cd to Shillelagh Workhouse (ominous
name for poor Bryne) and conferred with
the guardians as to the ACCESSIBILITY and
legality of bringing the remains within
the precincts of the workhouse, but were
met by n delegation of the female inmates
who declared their determination to resist
such a disposition of the corpse. The
magistrates, fearing further to arouse the
already excited feelings of the paupers,
buried the suicides body in field adj
joining the place where it had been
found with the hand-hauow.

TIE FIGHT IN CoREA Some naval Off
GERS formerly cruising in the East, were
conversing about Admiral Rodgers at
tack on the Coreans, and expressed no
surprise as to the disparity of losses,
though exceedingly gratitied with the re-
suit as indicating the honor of the flag
and causing the American name to be re-
spected. The Coreans, are regarded MS a
brave and wallike people; but their
primitive modes of fighting avail little
against improved weapons. An officer
described battle in which hundreds of
wounded Asiatics were destroyed by
their own weapons in recent war, fight
ing with gingalls-a species of old-fash-
toned musket fired from the hip-a sort
of cat-tail burning with a slow fire, is
used to touch them off, and returned to
the belt ready for another shot. But
when the wounded soldier falls, the light
cotton clothing is soon in flames, wreath
ing the vanquished man in funeral pyre.
In consequence the battlefield presented
n shocking array of disfigured corpses.
Hereafter the Coreans will probably be
more careful about firing on the Ameri-
can flag, or at least to offer suitable ex-
PLANTATION.

A Boy HERo.-A Paris correspondent
tells this story: A boy of thirteen, found
fighting, was taken to be shot. He took
silver watch from his pocket and cried
out Captain, do letme take this first to
q friend across the street; 1 borrowed it. "
"Oh! you scamp" said the officer, 81
understand-you want to run off" MY
word of honor, l will come back again, "
said the boy; and the Captin, seeing it
was child, was only too glad to be rid
of him. In ten minutes the boy came
back and took his stand with his face to
the wall. "Here / am, fre?" Does
Roman history tell us anything Drawer?
The captain boxed the little hero's ears
and ordered him never to show his face
there again. They could not fire on him.
