THE CHAMPION OLD MAN.

There is now living in Preston,
Lancashire, England, working hard
every day, man whose like is not
often to be met with, named Frank
Bradley. He was born at Dumberg,
in Ireland, in 1776, and is conse-
quently 50 years old. Notwithstand-
ing his advanced age, Bradley still
works hard, and thinks nothing of
mounting a long ladder and going
three or four stories high, with a hod-
full Of bricks on his shoulder. He
was ~ years old when the Irish re-
belllon OF last century took place.
For some years he was farm laborer
in Ireland. He was afterward for
eight years soldier in the Second
Royal Regiment Of foot, and for forty
four years he has earned his liveli-
hood as a brick~layers' laborer. He
has been married twice, and has been
the father of fifteen sons and five
daughters-nine sons and two daugh-
tiers during the first marriage, and six
sons and three daughters in the sec
ond, Most of his sons have served
in the British army. His second wife,
still alive, is younger than his Oldest
son, who is sixty-four years Of age.
The old man is hale and hearty, has
nearly all his teeth, has lost none OF
the hair Of his head, and looks likely
to live for years.

NJ. Emile Olivier. speaking lately
with friend, of affairs in France said:
"The striking feature of the political
situation is this : The question is no
longer one of liberty, of a parliament
tary system, of a choice between dy-
nasties. At home the question is
whether our civilization shall be de-
voured by the barbarians of whom
Lamartine and Tocqueville prophesi-
ed; abroad the question is whether
France is to be broken up, and to
disappear like those islands which
have suddenly been swallowed up by
the sea with their towns and inhabi-
tants AT home we have the army
of spoliation and devastation in pro-
cess Of organization abroad that OF
invasion and ACKNOWLEDGMENT. It is
Of these things we ought always to
be thinking, and it is of them that no
one thinks. It is the madness OF
despair. In solitude we see things
much more clearly than in crowd.
May God protect us, and raise up
among US some great citizen, or we
are lost"

A SHORT REIMBURSEMENT
OF THE UNITED STATES
FOR THIRTY-SIX HOURS.

A correspondent Of the Kansas
City Times, writing frona Plattsburg:
says of the Hon. David B. Atchi-
son:
In course of conversation, the
General gave brief sketch of his
political career. Appointed by Gov
ernor Reynolds to the United States
Senate, in 1843, to ELL a vacancy,
the Legislature at the next session
confirmed the appointment. In l849
he was reelected, thus filling seat
in the Senate for twelve years.
In 1916 he was elected President
pro tenn. Of the Senate, filling that
position when Taylor was Inaugural
ted in 1852. William B. King, Of
Alabama, Pierce's Vice President, it
will be remembered, never went to
Washington after his election, bnt
instead went to Cuba for his health.
There he died in less than a month
after his Inauguration. The death
of Mr.. King made Mr.. Atchison tenn
porary President of the Senate, and
to all intents and purposes he was
Vice President of the United States
Outing the remainder Of Mr.. Pierce's
term.
Reporter. You were President
of the United States for about thirty
six hours, were you not?
General. Yes. You see Mr..
Pierce's term expired at midnight
Saturday. and this being a Christian
country, of course nothing was done
on Sunday. Nh. Buchanan was in
augurated at noon on Monday.
Therefore, as President of the Sen
ate, I succeeded to the Presidency
when Mr.. Pierce's term was out.
Laughter. But [ had no realiza-
ton Of my high position until about
10 o'clock Sunday morning. We
had been at work in the Senate fin
ishing up business, and having lost
much sleep I would have slept all
day had [ not been Weakened up by
some personal friends, who came tc
congratulate me and secure position
for certain parties. In order to dc
everything in proper style, [ appoint
ed a full Cabinet and then it is said
that my Administration was the most
successful and popular one ever
known, there not being removal
during my whole term.

A TERRIBLE STRUGGLE
WITH A MAD
HORSE.

One of the most distressing accl-
dents that has ever happened in con-
nection with horses, in this vicinity,
befel Mr.. Wm. Richardson, a well
known teamster Of this city, near
Money Greek, about twelve miles out,
last week. Mr.. Richardson was trav-
cling through the country with stall
lion attached to a light gig,or sulky.
and having stopped at the place above
named to fill two or three engage
ments, was about to hitch the horse
up again to drive on, but on seeing
the gig, the animal showed signs of
being unruly and disobedient. Mr..
Richardson went to his head and was
about to take hold of the bride with
his left hand, when the horse caught
him savagely by the wrist, and in
spite of Mr.. Richardson's struggles,
bit him in a horrible manner. In
vain did he endeavor to force open the
mouth of the infatuated animal
with his right hand, but
the teeth Of the horse closed upon
his wrist like vice, cutting through
the flesh and bones and holding him
with grip of iron. At the same time
the horse tried to crowd his master
under him, but one Of the thills was,
fortunately, through the harness on
that side and acted as a guard, other
wise he would probably have been
trampled to death. Meanwhile the
cries of the unfortunate man for help
had brought a woman to the rescue,
but she was powerless to afford relief
herself, and accordingly started to
bring help, half mile distant, while
the fearful struggle between the mas
ter and his wild stallion went on. At
a short distance the woman met a
man coming along with a horse, and
she called upon him for assistance.
The man hurried to the scene, and
upon his arrival the stallion released
his hold of his master and made a
grab with his teeth at the new conner,
who barely escaped with large piece
taken out Of his coat sleeve. The ug-
ly beast was subdued after considera-
bic hard work, and attention was
turned to the injured man, who, al
though weak, from the awful conflict
through which he had passed, was
still very brave and never tainted
from the accident. He was brought
to this city and examined by the sur
geons, who found his left arm dislo-
Gated both at the elbow and shoulder,
besides bong 50 frishtfully mangled
at the wrist as to necessitate amputa-
ton. Since then the sufferer has
been getting along as we'll as could
be reasonably expected under the
circumstances.
The horse before this time has al
ways been kind, and Mr.. Richardson
attributes the accident entirely to his
own management of the stallion du-
ring the day, which had not been of
the most careful and horsemanlike
character W5raO1aa Republican,.

the following details of the death of
Charles Lever at that city on June 1 ::
'He died quietly, and without a
struggle, in his sleep, between II
and 2 p. m. When [ saw his re-
mains, little before 5, he was lying
with his coat and waistcoat off, on his
right side, with his head resting on
his right hand. But for the perfect
stiffness and the grey look upon the
face, he might have been sleeping
only. The hearts action simply
died out. Poor fellow it was the
death he wished for, as he greatly
dreaded a long and painful struggle.
We laid his remains beside those of
his wife, last evening, at little after
6. Her death broke his heart. From
the time she died his recent illness
dated, and he has not remained long
behind her. [ never saw a man
who attached to himself those who
were at all intimate with him as he
did. [ knew him but for short pc
