A Man with Three Arms.

Among the passengers on the train
bound south last evening was a man
born and raised in the county of Otsego,
N. Y. His name is William Jacobs. He
pTides himself on three well-developed
arms and hands, the member extraordi-
nary having grown above the right
shoulder-blade.
1t hangs suspended down the back, and
can be raised and lowered at will. In
length it is shorter than the arms proper,
but possesses extraordinary muscle, which
he displays whenever occasion demands
it, No person passing through railroad
car, or meeting him upon the street, would
observe any deformity, but after becom-
ing cognizant of this singular case, would
observe peculiar fit of his coat.
He states that he has often been ques-
toned as to why he does not place him
self on exhibition, or become one of Bar
NUNS permanent attractions. His in
variable reply is that he is averse to pub
lie exhibitions. His father being
wealthy farmer, he had always preferred
to remain at home, and was the most act
i've and profitable of farmers help. He
would assist in loading hay, and at the
same time hold securely the horses reins.
On several occasions he came near break
ing this unnatural member by sudden
falls, and at one time suffered the pangs
of full-sized felon upon the fore-fingcr.
On one occasion, when about eighteen,
the village boys thought they would have
a little sport at "three-arms expense,
and commenced a system of blackguard-
ism, followed by bold attacks upon his
person. Forbearance ceased to be a Vir-
tue, and. throwing off his loose garments,
he went for them in true pugilistic style,
arm number three performing its duty no.
bly,, and apparently outrivalling numbers
one and two. At the end of the skirmish,
six PROSTATE villagers told what fierce
opponent they had met. "Three-arms"
gained notoriety, and never afterward
was persecuted on account of his de-
formity. At the outbreak of the rebellion
he Joined New York regiment, and so
distinguished himself by bravery, that he
was finally promoted to Captain, and
ranked as the best drill officer of the
regiment to which he was attached. At
the close of the war he returned 10 the
farm, and has since remained there. He
is now en- route for the South to visit a sis
ter somewhere in the interior of North
Carolina. II may be query with some
how he could use his arm with the proper
clothing upon his body. All his garments
intended for laboring suits were so made
as to open upon the back, and closed by
buttoning, the same as child's apron.
He is truly a wonder. Being a man of
fine conversational powers, an interview
with him is especially agreeable, and he
relates many pleasing anecdotes of him
self with great relish. Wi1tamsp0rt (Fa.)

The Words We Use.

IT has been calculated that our
language, including the nomenclature
of the arts and sciences, contain 100000
words; yet of this immense num-
Der it is surprising how few are in
common use. To the great maiori-
ty, even of educated men, three.fourths of
the words are almost as unfamiliar as
Greek or Choctaw. Strike from the lexi-
con all the words nearly obsolete-all the
words Especial art or professions-all the
words confined in their usages to particu-
lar iocalities-all the words which even
the educated speaker uses only in homeo-
pathic doses-and it is astonishing into
what q Lilliputian volume your Brob-
dignagian Webster or Worcester have
shrunk. 1t has been calculated that a
child uses only about one hundred words;
and, unless he belongs to the educated
classes, he will never employ more than
three or four hundred. A DISTINGUISHED
American scholar estimates that few
speakers or writers use as many as ten
thousand words ordinary persons, Of
fair intelligence, not over three or four
thousand. Even the great orator who is
able to bring into the field, in the war of
words, half the vast array of light and
heavy troops which the vocabulary affords,
yet contents himself with far less i'm
posing display of verbal force. Even
the all-knowing Milton, whose wealth of
words seem amazing, and whom DR..
johnson charges with using "a Babylo-
nian dialect" uses only eight thousand
and Shakespeare himself, "the myriad
minded" only fifteen thousand. These
facts show that the difficulty of mastering
the vocabulary of new tongue is great
ly overrated ; and they show, too, how
absurd is the boast of every new diction
ry-maker that his vocabulary contains so
many thousand words more than those of
his predecessors Lakeside Monthly.

Leap Year in Church.

On Sunday evening in one of our Epis
copal churches, young man and young
woman were observed in close converse.
tlon, and from their manner il was evi.
dent that their conversation was of a
very pleasant character. A gentleman
who sat close behind them being disturb.
ed from dcvotions by their movements,
and who was unable again to resume them,
deemed il eXpedient to watch them a lit
tie more closely, and soon found that
their attentions were concentrated on a
prayer book in which one underlined
some words to form a question, whilst
the other did the same in order to form
an answer A pause ensued, after which
the young lady, who for moment had
been evidently in deep thought, rapidly
turned over the leaves of the Prayer
Book to the Service of Matrimony, which
having reached, she pointed to the all
important question" Wilt thou have
this woman to be thy welded Wife" etc.
This, however, elected no reply from her
companion, who had become stolid. He
had to be nudged and even pinched be-
fore even a smile could be got from him.
At length, altogether out of patience,
she gave him violent nudge, but this he
appeared not to notice. AT length the
fair one nerved herself for the decisive
moment, she jobbed him with pin, and
holding before him the book, again pro-
pounded the question. Her companion
somewhat reused himself, and, looking
the lady full in the face, gave such de.
clded MOP as completely disconnected

Elephantiasis.

A QUEER thing in Bellevue, Yesterday,
was case of elephdntidsts, or swelling of
the entire system.
Albert Morrow is the patient He is
forty years old, and has most pleasing
ceuntenance. He was formerly slim in
person, but twenty years ago his feet COM
menced swelling. That swelling went on
increasing then It began TO crawl up his
legs to his knees, then up his thighs to
his body. Then the dreadful poison moved
through his whole system below his breast
bone. His legs and stomach have become
immense. He now weighs 500 pounds,
and is gaining fast His legs or thighs
measure AZ feet in circumference. His
disposition is cheerful, and he docs not
seem to be in any pain.
His appetite, the doctor says, is i'm
mense, though he himself don't seem to
think so.

bertY" | asked, yesterday.
well, not very much" he answered.
"How muchG"
"Let's sec, our regular diet, three times
per day, is beef, potatoes and soup l
don't know how much / do eat. / sup
pose one pound of beef, half-dozen po-
tatoes, and quart of soup. That is at
my regular meals"
THAT is at your regular meals; now,
how much extra diet do you consumer"
'"The doctor allows me, besides my reg
ular meals, @ ounces of whisky, eggs,
"a oysters, 6 quarts of milkl / pound. of
beef, quarts of beef soup, halfpound of
crackers, quart of rice, and some cruel. {"
Great heavens! don't wonder that Al
bert swells up. The doctor tells me that
he consumes the above amount of food
daily. He eats constantly, from morning
till night. His great appetite has made
him financially poor, but physically fat

GRINDING APPLES. The American Ar
tisdn suggests that there are better ways
of grinding apples than those usually
practiced 1t says "The best cider in
the world is said to be made in the Prov
ince of Normally in France, where it was
introduced many ages since by the Moors,
who preserved among them the art of
making the beverage after coming from
the place of their nativity. The Norman
cider mills, so say the books, are com
posed of revolving edge stones, turned
in circular stone cistern by one or two
horses'-in other words, by rude Chill
ian mill. From its simple construction
and direct action but little power is lost
from friction, and an iron mill of this
character, as far as crushing the fruit is
concerned, would doubtless do more and
better work than the more common ap-
ple-grinding apparatus There would re-
main, however, the liability to rust, and
the need of simple but efficient means for
continuously feeding the fruit and re-
moving the pulp. The former could be
remedied by nickle-plating the grinding
surface of the wheel and basin of the
trough, and painting the rest. The method
is a matter for future improvements to
provide"

FARMER GRANT.

MY summer ramblcs take me through
Some quaint and some neglected places,
Among the men with brawny arms
And ruddy faces.
And such a one ! met last night
AT county fairs the constant winner:
Ills face was brown, his hands were hard,
Hisname was Skinner
Thus spoke the agricultural man,
While sweat upon his forehead gllstened,
And sot calmly on the fence
And smoked and listened
Some say that Grant amt Just the man
To plow the corn with turf and stubble;
But rally, can't 'Eactly see
What makes the trouble.
He don't go lecturin', to be sure,
About the care OF wheat when ripening;
But gosh the way the crops come In
Beats thunder m lightning.

To pick out pumpkin seeds that's holler;
But mind you, when his corn's laid by,

By moderation.

But yon jest bet the patch he drags

And look, too, at his garden truckI

That he has raised the biggest beats
In all creation.
And when he takes his little scythe,
And round about his person swings It,
AS sure you're born, he strikes for grain,
And alters brings it.

Our debt is growing less and less,
And things is thriving.

The niger sings his loud hosanner:

That things can't easily be mended;
That, taken all in all, the farm

The Rockford, Rock Island & st. Louis
Railroad Disaster.

the following details of the recent fer.
rible railroad accident near Alton Junc-
tion station, ILL.,, are taken from St Louis
papers of the 8th;
From the st. Louis Republican,
The details of this fearful event are
truly heart-rending A passenger train,
NO. 4, due at East st. Louis at 7:1O o'clock
a. M, proceeding at rate of speed not
much less than 20 miles per hour, is sud
denly brought in collision with train of
lrelght cars moving at rate of speed
not less than IL miles per hour The en-
gines are smashed, the baggage and one
passenger car are driven into each other
Win great force; the seats are torn from
thelr fastenings, the stoves overturned
broken, the fire mixed with the debris. and
OF the MANNED and hopelessly entangled
passengers, four are roasted in the flames
before life is extinct, while several others
are scorched and bruised and have their
limbs fractured and broken, all in the
short space of five minutes. Such, in
brief, is the summing up of the results
of this dreadful disaster.
THE DISASTER.
The freight train No. Z, conductor Ba.
ker and engineer Halpine, left East st.
Louis at O'Clock yesterday morning, and
should have reached Upper Alton station
at 0'O6 in the morning. The freight
tram must have been several minutes be-
hlnd time when it reached the Alton
junction station, but Notwithstanding
this the conductor ordered the engineer
TO proceed. Mr. lIalpine, the engineer,
II appears, had only made one or two
trips owes the road, and had taken in
Train on Tuesday night, reaching East st.
Louis about midnight, having been on
the tram about eighteen hours. He, it is
SAID, expressed some doubt about being
able TO reach Upper Alton station, before
the passenger train would come down,
put at the suggestion of the conductor,
he left the Junction station andproeeeded

miles, The road at the Junction runs in

A HORRIBLE SCENE.

HORRIBLE SCENE.
From the st. Louis Democrat
To add to the horror, the Goals from the
overturned stoves ignited the splintered
woodwork of the wrecked cars, and in
less time than it takes to write the story
the train was in flames, a funeral pyre.
Those who were only slightly injured,
bat unable to free themselves from the
timbers that pinioned them, became raw
ing maniacs at the approach of the flames,
and died shrieking for aid that could not
be given then.
BURNED ALIVE.
A gentleman who was passenger on
the train says the scene was indescribably
horrible. Mr.. and Mrs. Reuben Raines
and there little child were seated in the
fore part of the car when the collision
occurred, and were thrown by the tele.
scoping of the cars to the rear. The hus.
band was eXtricated without great diff
Guilty, but it was found impossible to
remove the debris from the wife.
Her head and a portion of the body
were exposed, and her frantic
cries for assistance for the child were
heart-rending The little thing was finally
gotten out but the poor woman was soon
wrapped in flames, and her screams and
prayers grew weaker and weaker until
silenced in death. Raines' injuries, it is
feared, will prove fatal, as he was still un-
conscious when our informant left.
One man was caught by the foot only,
but all efforts to release him proved futile
An axe was sent for in compliance with
his request that the foot should be cut
of, but before it arrived the flames reached
him, and soon nothing but his charred
remains could be found.
THE CAUSE OF THE ACCIDENT.
No doubt exists as to the cause of the
accident. The conductor of the freight
train, who is now in this city, states that
he left the last station before the scene of
the accident, behind time, but with the
belief that he could reach the next station
before the passenger train. He missed
his calculation by nineteen minutes, al
though running with valves open, and
every pound Of steam on,

morality, and consistent Christian condnct will
compare fayorably with any parish Of the>sama
size in the United States or elsewhere. When it
were outcasts On the frontiers Of Minnesota, and
that for four years afterwards, while
our missionary was among them,
nothing was done by the Government for
their relief or preservation, but much, it would
seem, for their extinction, it ought not to ap-
pear to any practical man very difficult task to
rescue other tribes more fayorably situated" It
was fitting, indeed, that to such earnest and
hearty converts the highest official Of the Church
to which they belong should be sent to preside
It should always be distinctly borne in mind
that there are as great differences between In
dians US between their white brethren. The
Comanches, Olgallss, Apaches, and other noun
tain warriors, cherish an undEing hatred against
the'w1ite pioneers OF civilization, and are sworn
the fate they would award to others. But, on
the other hand, there are Indians who desire the
peace and welfare of their tribes, and who ask Of
the Government only to be allowed to KEEP their
reservations and till their land in peace.
More than ten years ago, Bishop Nhipple, Of
AIinnesota, told President Lincoln that be would
keep peace on the border with q corps Of mis-
sionaries costing one-tenth Of the money spent
by the Government on wars His Church did not
wholly agree with him then, OF it would have set
it's chief minister at work Now, at last, it
makes it's full experiment. and it will be watched
with great interest as movement vital to the
interests of the red men,
There is one drawback to the satisfaction felt
among Episcopa1ians at this mo7emen!- The
nitre of right belonged to the Rev. $. D. Hin
tered to the Santee Sioux, and whom ~ the In
