THE DEAD GIANT.

Mr.. James Murphy, Jr.. giant, died
in Baltimors of bronchial affection or
consumption. Mr.. Murphy was born in
Waterford, Ireland, and was a full
blooded Irish giant, and large one,
standing nearly eight feet in his stock
ings. He was thirty-three years of age,
and unmarried. Some months ago,
when he was in comparatively good
health, he weighed three hundred and
ffty-One pounds He had weighed more
when his health was better. He had
been in the United States twenty-four
years. The giant travelled three years
as one of the great living curiOsities of
the world In his professional career be
visited every part of this country, from
Maine to California and the extreme
South. When in good health he had
fresh, pleasant face, and. like all large
men. and particularly all giants except
those of the story books and nursery
tales. was as amiable and pleasant as he
was in stature He had very youth
ful expression Of countenance. coal black
| hair. and his hands were SO large that
| one of them could cover the head Of an
ordinary man, just as au ordinary hand
would cover an orange. His feet were
not so large proportiOnally as his hands,
but beside an ordinary shoe one Of bls
shoes would seem to tie a sufficient hab-
itation for 1.-The old woman Of the story
book, who ..had SO many children she
didn't know what 10 do" When the
undertaken came to measure the dead
giant for his coffin itwas found that the
deceased was full eight feet long. Sure
ly the measure Of man is correctly known
when he is dead. The coffin was near
lv eight and a half feet long. The
father of the giant. who is sixty-hse
years of age. probably older. is a large
man. When at his best he stood over
six feet in his stockings. though be Is
now little bent. The mother is not a
large woman. being not above the medi-
nm size for the sex She is nearly her
husbands age. Both the old people are
in!good health, aud seem vigorous for
their years. Including the giant. they

A BURNING GAS WELL.
A WONDER OF THE PENNSYLVANIA COAL
REGIoSs-LIGHT FOR COUNTY.

The following interesting description
of burning we'll in Pennsylvania has
been received by the United States Sig
nal Office in Washington, from Mr.. j.
Cummings of Tarentum, one of the vol
unteer observers for the signal service:
''On the night of the I'd of February.
1875. l, in company with several others.
paid visit to the great gas well, situa-
ted about nine miles from Tarentum and
fifteen miles south of Butler at place
called Lardens Mill. on the farm of Mr..
William Hervey, and owned by CON-
pany consisting of Messrsl William Her
vey. J. S. Vandegrift. and j. McAllas-
ter. The we'll was tapped recently. as /
learned from one of the proprietors, in
their search after OIL They have gone
down distance of LAS feet. and have
just struck the first sand rock. The we'll
is located in a hollow about three hund.
red feet wide, between abrupt hills. Our
party came in the vicinity of the well
about nine o'clock at night. having seen
the vast light floating in the sky on ma
ny dark night on previous occasions
thirteen miles distant, but when we came
in its immediate influence and saw the
trees on either hand lit up, and their
trunks and branches silvered to their
tops by this burning torch, the scene
was beyond description. On arriving at
the ground we were met by hundreds of
people from all parts of the country who,
like ourselves, flock nightly to see this
great wonder. The first thing to strike
the visitor on arriving rs the great mass
of fine white fame of intense heat and
brightness and the hollow rumbling
noise heard as the out-rushing gas plum
ges into the atmosphere and lights all
around by its imposing brilliancy. The
fame of this natural torch is about forty
feet long and fifteen wide, and keeps at
these dimensions night and day with
striking regularity. Hence the light is
both regular and constant. The heat
emitted by SO large body of fame is
very great The trees all around, at
proportional distances, are budding. and
the grass that has not been trodden down
by the throng of visitors is growing ine-
! ly. and considering that this is mid-win-
ter, this circumstance will give you some
idea Of the great heat. | approached
within sixty feet of the flame, and sup
posed it to be at that distance about l40
degrees. The place has the character
of camp meeting at night in conse-
quence of the mighty, crowds who con-
gregate there. The light is grand. You
can see to read with ease quarter of a
mile from this enormous gas jet, and if
uninterrupted by trees and the wind of
the road reading could be done at the
distance of mile and half. The noise
as the gas rushes out and is consumed
| is wonderful.

ANDY JOHNSON AS A CLowS.-Really
this talk about Andy johnson is getting
a little fulsome 1t is good joke to
see Andy returned to the Senate. and
from the antics Of such an old bull in a
china shop. much entertainment Is to be
expected This is undoubtedly the pop
ular feeling on the subject. But some
newspapers have fallen into rather n
diculous mistake of interpreting 1t a
popular tribute to the moral excellence
and political rectitude of Andy. They
talk as if the nation had repented of its
former repudiatiOn of the man and now
saw in him a justified and vindicated
statesman. whom it was delighted to
honor Nothing could be more absurd.
Andy made himself so supremely ridlcu-
lous after his impeachment that the peo-
pie forgot their indignation at the un-
faithful President in their laughter at
the clown. That is ALL Since his re-
tirement from the Presidency Andy has
done nothing to merit public favor. No
new evidence to exculpate HIM from the
impeachment Indictment has transpired.
He is the same bad old penny. His last
public performances before his recent
election were series of the most outra-
geous repudiation speeches ever deliver
ed in this country 1t is still as much
of question as ever it was whether he
ought not to have been convicted by the
Senate, though the people do not bear
malice long. and nobody grudges him
his escape. But Andy remains the man
who has most disgraced the Presidential
chair of all who have sat in it. the man
whose policy is chiefly responsible for
the failures of the reconstruction expert
ment, an open repudiationist, and the
Vice President who was drunk on inau-
guration day. As clown, fun-loving
people welcome him back to public life,
but don't try to make him out states
man and popular hero.-SPrinqfeld

PICTURES OF PovERTY.-Iu Allen
street, New York, in the cellar Of a
rear tenement, or rather dark hole at
the bottom of wretched structure, where
the ceiling is SO low one has to bend low
when in standing posture, lady was
found lying in he'd upon which there
were neither sheets nor quilts. A din
gy blanket covered her person. and nes-
tling close beside her were her four lit
tie children. One of them, little fairy
creature of wonderful beauty. with hair
of FURNISHED gold and eyes that had
stolen the bloom of violets, was pratt
ting lnnocently and all unappalled by
the gloom and horror of the place. Yet
that child had seen the rats drag her
little cloak from the broken chair where
she had placed it and rend it in pieces
with their sharp teeth, while her moth
er and sisters covered shuddering in
their beds. All night long one or an
other of these poor creatures kept watch
while the others slept. lying in dread of
attack from the noiseme. sqnealing
creatures that thronged the floor and
clambered squealing about them. Yet
this poor family once possessed happy
home from which they had been driven
by financial reverses and the death Of
the husband and father. The mother.
native of Baltimore. had been bred in
afluenee. her father holding an Office of
honor and trust under the general gov
ernmeut for many years. Death and
business disasters had brought them to
this pitiful strait at last and forced them
to accept and cling to shelter only fit
for dogs. Such are the fearful phases
of life the Guilds visitors encounter
The impressions they leave on the mind
will never fade, and the lessons they
teach have power that few Sunday
sermons possess.
