WONDERFUL PEOPLE.-One hundred
and sixteen years old MIR. Lemar Grif-
fin, of Lodi, o., is said to have been
born In 1859. Hehas voted for every Pres
ident except Washington. He had OBJ
jectlons to the father of his country.
What these objections were he refuses
to say. He has but one arm, but still
reads the newspapers; dislikes to be
bothered with visitors, but consents like
a sensible old gentleman, to talk with
newspaper men. They speak of putting
him to death by bringing him down to
the Centennial exhibition, probably from
an idea that he has lived long enough.
In the same county with Mr. Griffin re-
side Captain l.. M. Bates and his lady.
Their aggregated height is IA feet and
8 inches. They are known as the Ken
lucky giant and giantess, and formerly
travelled as such with Mr. Barnuln
They have retired from public life, and
have beautiful farm proportioned to
their size. So that county, with the old
est old gentleman and the tallest couple
in the country, may we'll be proud, es-
peciall as the former, by not voting for
Washington when he had chance,
won endless renown.

lord; "you have had delirium tremens
once, and I cannot sell you any more. +"
He stepped aside to make room for O.
couple of young men who had just en-
tered, and the landlord waited upon
them politely. The other had stood
by silent and sullen and when they had
finished he walked up to the landlord
and thus addressed him: ''Six years
ago, at their age, / stood where those
young men are now-I was a man with
fair prospects. Now, at the age of
twenty-eight am wreck, body and
mind. You led me to drink. In this
room I formed the habit that has been
my ruin. Now, sell me few glasses
more, and your work will be done !
shall soon be out of the way; there isno
hope for me. But they can be saved.
Do not sell it to them. Sell to me and
let me die, and the world will be rid of
me; but for heavens sake sell no mora
to Them The landlord listened, pale
and trembling. Setting down his de-
canter, he exclaimed, God helping me,
this is the last drop will ever sell to
any one !" And be kept his word.
