The SAMsnS OF NgwPoRr..--A wri.
ter in the Providence (R. l Star
says: : There is living in this city a
man quite as remarkable for his mus.
cular powers a was he who in olden
times bore of on his shoulders the
gates of GAIA. When a youth he was
wont to shoulder a barrel of -four with
his feet inside a peck measure. On
n occasion, on Stevens wharf as a
result of a banter that he could not
shoulder an anchor weighing $50
pounds. he raised it to his shoulders.
carried it up Bannister's wharf, up
four steps into the United States Hotel,
carried through. down one step, out Of
the south door. down the wharf, back
again. and deposited it on the scales
for weighing. The distance be carried
it must have been nearly 400 yards.
The feat was considered so remarka.
Bile that it was placed upon the town
records, where it may now be seeu by
any who may be in~credulous. On an
other occasion half a dozen men were
Juggling at a hogshead of molasses w.
ing on its bilge, endeayoring TO place
it on end, when be ordered them aside
and ended it up alone. Though now
fifty seven years old, he is ready at any
time on a wager to lift to his shoulder
a barrel of -four.

not stop. He gathered strength as
he proceeded, and turning his eyes
to Heaven, and keeping time with his
feet, roared along through the mes,
sure with amazing force. He nsa
got up on the highest note he could
find. and was bursting into q perfect
apoplectic howl of melody. when he
felt himself caught abruptly by the
collar, and the next instant was
made aware that he was on his back

ground, and doing something with
his ribs that appeared 10 be uncalled

through a planning mill, and opening
his eyes saw that Phillips vas gone ;
that Mrs. Coville was trying to get
him on his feet. In this direction
he gave her all the help possible, and
getting up. looked around for the
planning mill, but not seeing it, al
lowed her to lead him in the house.
To all her questions she could get
no answer, but occasionally, while
she was applying the liniment, he
would start up with, "A Life on the
ocean" and then suddenly stop,
smile fsintly. and softly rub his nose,
1t was several hours before he acted
natural again, but aside from conce
ding that possibly Phillips didn't
have the right kind Of madness, or
he himself may not got hold of the
right tune. he shows no disposition
to converse on the matter. Sunday
afternoon young Coville, to be smart,
and thinking that his father was
asleep in the chair, undertook to start
the tune, for the ediication of his
mother, and the futility of that air
tor enchanting an audience was
again demonstrated in a most signal
manner.-Donbury News.

Gan intimate friend of the Siam
csc twins" writes to the Sun that
they did not marry English servant
girls. but daughters of a North Car
DINA planter named Yates. Each,
says the writer, had twelve children
-one ten boys and two girls, and
the other ten girls and two boys.
Many of their children have died,
and these beresvements bore very
heavy upon Chang and Eng, who
were Christians and members in good
standing of the Baptist Church
They were recognized in the neigh
borhood as men of social standing,
and their daughters associated with
those of the other planters, some of
them contracting desirable maria
ges. They were not of weak intel
lect, but strong partisans in politics,
and shrewd in business. IN. Y

A Trick ON a Married Man.

A writer in the Hartford Times re-
lstes the following practical joke:
Mr.. Fred and Mrs. Alice Y--had
returned from their wedding tour,
and given out invitations TO several
friends to spend an evening with
them at their house. In the course
of an hour after the party had gath
cred, several fun-loving young ladies
and gentlemen determined to perpe-
trate a joke on the happy husband.
Accordingly one of them whispered
to Fred's wife that Mrs. So-and SO
wanted to speak to her a moment up
stairs. Aud Alice excused herself
directly. and left the room. The lady
who visited her, already understood
the game, and talked very deliberate
ly about the sewing society, and II
it hadn't better sew for the colored
folks at the south this winter, or mat
tiers about as important. A young
lady of about Alice's size was then
sent into the next room-which was
Oakland cuddled herself up on one
end of the sofa; and an aunt of Fred's
came to him and whispered the aw-
full news that she was on the sofa in
the sitting room, feeling badly over
something. Fred's face immediate
ly heightened. and he excused him
self and went into the dark room. as
be supposed to e his wife. The
snow reflected just light enough to
enable him to see a female form on
the sofa with a handkerchief at her
face. "Alice, my poor sweet dear!
what is the m~atter?' he exclaimed in
a low, p~laintive voice, which the lis
tening company in the parlor heard,
nevertheless. my little lamh-Fed
dy's own one?" be said. sitting down
beside her and drawing her into his
arms. "what Is the matter? Speak.
won't you. and tell Teddy all about
it?' And then followed a number of
kisses, which sounded as somebody
said, like the noise a COW makes In
pulling her foot from a tenacious
mud hole. She enjoyed it there on
the sofa. and her whole person shook
50 with amusement, that Teddy"
thought she was weeping all the time
and greatly agitated. The company
in the parlor enjoyed themselves won
derfuliy during this scene, because,
listening keeniy, they heard every
word that Fred uttered. But pretty
soon Alice herself returned, and then
they concluded the joke had been
carried far enough, and pushed open
the folding doors. There sat Fred
and Miss B. EARN in ARM" and
'wing and wing" The n was ten
derby repeating my own Allie" and
the other was nearly suffocated with
laughterand squeezes and kisses. In
an instant after the light struck them.
Fred saw his mistake. And such a
sheepish-looking, crest fallen indi-
vidual as he was, was never seen be-
fore. The company raised a shout
Of laughter. His face glowed with a
rosy hue, and he wanted to faint and
sink through the floor; but finally he
concluded to laugh it of and make
the best of it. AS for Alice-well no
matter. The reader can imagine the

Foreigners in Congress.

washington Letter TO lnter-Ocean.
There are fifteen foreigners in
Congress. In the Senate, Carl
Schurz, of Missouri, is a native of
Cologne, Germany, and is the only
one of the fifteen who has any trace

dian. and a Mexican who, instead of
being a sonorous Don Something or
Another, signs himself "Buekner,"
like Mark Twain's landIady, who
Twas an Italian by the name of
