A9West RandolHA street. II appears
thatl wniie the aMuteum" Was being
afgsd through the neigAooring State Of
Indisne, the managers discovered the
complainant, Frederick Hettisch, al Toll
that they conceived the idea of engaging
him to pereonate wild man in their on.
tertainments. Tho seductive offer of
&a5 a-month aad board was thrown ont
as bait for Fred. TO pibble a., and he
gulped it down witho.t wasting time in
consideration, and became q member Of
tho company. conaiating of an obese wo-
man, man 80 thin as to be almost in
visible at side view, q sword swallower,
0 learned pig with propensity for short
cards, monkey, fangless snake ard q
hand organ. Arrayed in tights, Fred.
with his repulsive features and misshapen
body, struck terror to the hearts o6 the
simple rustics who patronizod the show
on its tour Though the Hooeier State.
He was great card for the management.
Every person who saw him krmly be.
lieved that bis grandfather. at least, was
tine old African gorilla, who might
have met Mungo Park in his sol,iary
wanderings. After Indiana had been
thoroughly canvassed, the museum pro-
prietors decided to visit Chicago and
take Fred. with them. Thoy arrived
here few days ago, and ever since the
wild man has been source Of wonder to
those who have seen him. Wild men
resemble tame men in two respects, at
least-they will eat and sleep. The mu
scum people. however. appear to have
overlooked these minor matters in their
dealings with Hettisch. They have
given him no money aud have never
even asked him if crust OF bread would
do him good. Naturally enough he oom-
plains to the Mayor that be cannot live
long unde. such unfavorable circum-
stances. He cannot be decent wild
man on on empty stomach. Every time
he comes on the stage he feels more like
going to sleep than believing around
and making fool OF himself for nothing
q week. All he wants the NJ .yor to do
is, to get some money for him from the
museum men. His Honor told him he
would see what could be done. Serious.

glittering black eyes, no perceptible
chin. protruding lips, turned-up nose.
and forehead that recedes at mos,

Iiarities. he is alightly hump backed.

be remembered that the scry arss was
raised in 1868, the necessity for retrench-

to the de noralizstions brought on by

People generally have o great horror
OF death by drowning, and nm impress
sion prevails that it is painful mode Of
quitting the world. This is not 30, if we
may believe DR.. Hoffman, one OF the
survivors Of the Dixon disaster. He de-
scribes the sensation of drowning as an
extremely pleasant one, and even goes
so far as to soy it was quite an intcrrup-
ton to his agreeable feelings when ho
felt the rescuing hand clutch his shout
der and drag him from tho water. In
other words. tho doctor was grieved that
his delightful experiences were dispersed
by the cruel hand of humanity. This is
very consoling. and people who go down
to tho sea in ships should cease to enter.

80 pleasant.

TEE CHIEF JUsr1oKs. Tho recent
death of Chief Justice Chase reminds us
of the fact that this high position has
been filed BY heven psrsoua. The
Worlds statement that ave can count
the names oirour Chief Justices. on the
fingers Of single hand" is. incorrect,
unless the World holds II better hand
than We have any reason to believe;
but tho fuct is worth noting that the
eighty-oll years of.the Presidents Office
have furnished near score Of names;
those rarely distinguished. by the head
OF tho Supreme Court are only John
Jay, John Rutledge, William Gushing,
Oliver Ellsworth, John Marshall. Roger
B. Taney and Salmon P. Chase. True,
the World claims that John Rutledge
and William Gushing were never Chief
Justices in iact; but the latter WAS nomi.
mated and confirmed, if he never took
his seat; while the former did preside
over the Supreme Court-to which he
was chosen in tho recess OF Congress
although his nomination was not subse-
quently confirmed. What name may
succeed these eminent ones upon the roll,
it is pure guess work to speculate upon.
The ways and wishes OF the affectionate
Ulysses ore inscrutable. Whether the
whim may seize the President to appoint
gentleman and jurist, or whether he
may follow O list OF honorable names
with that of some parasitic shystor, is
as uncertain as is his locus in quo twelve
hours Mt time. We shall SEQ.

The ''CoDE" AN INExoUsADLEA ANAcHRo.
NIsM.-There is no apology for the duel
in thia age. There never can be moral
excuse for the double purpose of murder
and suicide. From moral point of
view. there is nothing to be said in de-
fence Of dueling. 1t includes. beyond q
question, the guilt OF murder and the
sorrow Of suicide. "Thou shalt not
kill, cannot be tortured by the ncutest
casuistry into q permission to kill an.
other, because you allow him chance to
kill you. II the two greatest nations
could remit to arbitrators an interna.
tional dispute, and the people respect-
lively submit to the grave decision Of the
high representatives grim -visaged
war smooths his horrid front" at the
command of pacific adjudications, and
the world receives with applause the an
nouncem ent-how inconoeivably little
does the jealousy Of lovers appear, as
a cause of bloodshed. It may be said,
that no civil damage can recompense dis.
honor. Must the delusion of disgrace
cover the crime Of murder? Can insult
impair self-respect? Where is the won
drous alchemy which can transform the
guilt of murder into the innocence of
necessary self-defence, because honor is
the subject of the story? What is honor?
Vulgarity summons its "noble art of
self defenca" to the ring at the challenge
OF championship. Chivalry commands
its loge-sick swain to publish the allega-
tions or inuendoes Of rival. by an ap.
peal to the weapons OF gentlemen. It is
an ins1able folly. 1t is not honor, but
passion; the crude savageness of re.
venge, under the outward disguise Of a
courtesy unfelt, and OF exposure never
equal. 1t is not honor, but defiance of
law-the retreat of civilizati on to the
ago of barbarism. .-Bauinaore Gazette.
