A Strange Discovery.

We are having very interesting mys-
of the famous Cardiff Giant. Two mep
living in the town of klmhall, ten miles
from Port Hudson, while ont hunting
stopped to gather specimens of stone from
a gravel bed in Pine River, that washed
out from tie bank near by durning the
freshet year ago. In this loose bank
they unc vered stone resembling the face
of child After looking at in in wonder
for time, they, thinking of the doubt
that hangs over the discovery of the famous
giant, went, out and brought Is or %
men to witness this Le.ore taking it cut.
1t was then removed with mass of
gravel adherng. The face, chin, throat
part of the right arm, shoulders, breast,
part of ohe arm and whole of the other,
showed distinctly in perfect form, all the
rest merging into mass of gravel
and small stones, cem nted together the
same as seen in any gravel pit. The right
arm is bent, the forearm is lying
across the body; the other
is bent below the elbow. The eyes are
weIl defined and very Tread; forehead h t
ald shaping; nose small, sharp nostrils
open; lips vsry hin, fat; ,aoc:h veil de-
dn l--curve Of lips perfectly natural; ch,u

| Some call it retrfied child, and account
for the great breadth of the head at the

/ the forehead. Among the small stones are
petrGed coral shells, etc., such as are yer,
common through this country. Can 20,

JOHNNY AS CLERK.-Hence the only
/ live business man In the store, when the
old lady from the couatry got out of the
wagon and came in, was the errand boz,
| Johnny. lie was sharp boy, who knew
everything. Therefore he was glad for
the opportunity of showing the employer
what good clerk he was. The old lady
wanted pant buttons. As he did not I no "
where to find them, be told her they were
out, but Re expected CARLOAD from New
York every day, and asked her to wait for
day or SO until they arrived.
Now, my dear madam said Johnny,
smiling and rubbing his hands, as he had
seen the clerks do, 'let me sell you new
dress pattern; tie one you have Oh looks
like it wasn't built for you in the frs,
place."
The OLD lady thought the dress was
"right pearty"
"Well, yes" said Johnny, "it is sorry
pe.rs; but it would look heap pearter if
yo9 were 10 set it Of with one Of our dia-
monI cluster breastpins, f5r thrty-Gge
ceat."
Ile-braa.t pin was p released. Nov.
ssid johnny "do YOU evtr eo1,b your bar.
The old lady began 10 look mad.
81 don't moan nothing,H continued the
young william; ''some very respectable
people do comb their hair. We have peo-
ple in this town who have got so in the
habit of it that they take their halr off and
faSten it to a chair and comb it like blazes
every night"
And Johnny sold her jute switch and a
big comb that would have taken the cookie,
burs cut of mules tail.
Then johnny inquired if any of the fam
lily were sicky, and hearing that the old
man was complaining, persuaded her to
buy some Grape and white gloves, to have
ready in case of emergency.
When the proprietor returned from din
ner he found IA pyramid of young water
melons on the counter, and peck OF the
littlest peaches he ever saw on the show
case. This was the kind of cash Johnny
had received for ten dollars worth of
goods. Johnny was in the back yard dissec-
ting the healthiest looking watermelon of
the lot.
The scene was painful to listen to from
the O. her side of the street. If Johnny's
wages were raised as high as he was, he
would be receipt of about 81 900 an hour.
For fifteen minutes an uplifted boot, with
n boy lowering on the toe of it in sitting
position, was the most attractive feature of
the landscape in that back yard. r..
Johnny says that while there is no sense
in all the smart boys beirg lawyers and
members of Congress, be, too, will follow
the example of the rest and quit merchan-
dizing as means of accommodating wealth, if
he has got toeeat his break fast off the man.
