A Michigan Giant.

Charley Freeman, says the Ypsilanti
Sentinel, along back in the thirties, appear
ed for the first time among gang of labor
ers on the Flat Rock & Gibraltar Canal,
and he moved among ordinary men like u
son Of Anak, He looked eight feet high.
at least, and three feet across the shoulders
His arm sprang from his Crest as large as
any middle sized mans body, and tapered
down to hand three inches thick, and
when doubled into fist, as big and hard
as Il rail-splitters maui He gave his aye
at seventeen, and he was growing He
hired for the wages and work of an ordi-
nary hand but when he seized shovel it
went through the clay like breaking-up
plow, and the handle soon came off if the
blade held. An ordinary AK was but a
feather in his hand 1t sank to the eye in
the wood, and the helve splintered. He
dealt out strength by the wholesale, and
he could not weigh out his force in the
measure of ordinary men.
When he stood among gang of laborers
the contrast made them look like children.
The strolling Indians would stare in
amaZement a few moments and then with
a deep ugh p get out Of the sight of
him as fast AS their dignity would let them.
He was put to do the work of three pairs of
oxen. That was removing the trunks of
trees cut in ten or twelve foot lengths out
of the way of the diggers not hitchcd to
them like oxen, to snake them away, but
his right hand under the end, raising it
from the ground, then balancing in across
his left forearm, he shot the saw logs far
to one side with al the ease that skilled
workman piles his split cord wood. And
thus, day after day, the giant moved until
the canal was not built any more.
He appeared again on the boats that
piled along the Huron river, Michigan. He
was the engine and tackle to handle heavy
freight What others could not shove or
roll, he would pick up and carry or toss.
When the heavily ffeighted boat stuck on
the ripples he just stepped out of the stern
and boosted her over. Nobody would
have felt surprised if he had taken the
whole boat and cargo right under his arms
as a woman carries dough tray, and
marched across by land, when they came
to long bends in the river. Nobody ever
said he did this, because they never wanted
to exaggerate his feats, amy more than we
do now.
But navigation did not pay, and that
STOPPED too Some of the 'flncy' heard

latter provides that in counties containing
less than l5O,00O inhabitants all fees lim-

each county officer shall, when the a~gre-
gate fees exceed $1,000, belong to the
proper county. The duty of the officers
whose fees exceed $4,000 shall he to exact
collect and receive all such fees to and for
the use Of their respective counties, except
such taxes and fees as are levied for the
state, which shall be to and for the use of
the state. and none of said officers shall re-
ceive for their own use or for any use or
purpose whatever except for the use of the
proper county, or for the state, us the case
may be, any fees for any official services
1t shah he the duty Of the county auditors
in each county containing hess than one
hundred and fifty thousand Inhabitants,
whenever it shall appear from the amount
of business transacted by any county Off
Ger, the population of the county or other
cause, that the fees attaching to any coun-
ty office appears to exceed the sum of three
thousand dollars, to make careful examin-
alton of all books, papers, accounts or other
dates by which the amount Of fees attaching
to any office may be ascertained, or shall
make report setting forth the amount Of
fees earned in such Office within the wear
to the County Commissioners. If the fees
have exceeded $4,000 the County Commis-
sioners shall notify such officer and the

officer thereafter shall be entitled to the
salary provided for in this act.

quisite received by any of them as com

was as simple as a child. AM one toul

that he was remarkable Tn" sharpers
meant to keep him so, md speculate on his
prodigious power They ,.aNed him off
eastward At Buffalo they sent him into
4 dock saloon with sixteen hundred
pound anchor under his left arm, just as
chopper carries his AK, to pawn it for
drinks. He got the drinks, and the keeper
was glad to treat him for carrying it out
again. Thus he and his friends taveled
on his muscle to the sea coast, and aross
to England They intended to get a soft
thing on some English champion. They
had too much of Il good thing. \ friendly
sparring as an experiment, with proies-
sOnal boxer showed that ma ch with any
living puci ist was impossible. The giants
face could not be cfcctually reached
Blows on his body might as we'll have been
planted on sandb bag. When his unskilled
maui came down it came with the force Of
Il plie-driver, and no matter what it met
the obstacle went to the earth
BY the ruse Of representing him as large
and strong, but green, they made a match
OF science and skill against power, with
t.oted pugilist. The parties came ON the
ground, but at the first sight of him his
opponent turned away saying 81 came
to fight with large man not with a noun
tain" Second, re:trees and all hands de-
clared the match "oti.
Finding nothing could be made out cf
him, his sharp attendants deserted him.
From Michigan to Liverpool the route had
been one of continued dissipation, and he
had contracted the seeds of dise.se De
serted in Il strange land, he was uncared
for; an object Of awe and curiosity, use
less to anybody else and helpless to care
for himself, he soon died Of consumption
and Was buried in Il pauper's grave.
When Heenen and S ,yres wcr raising
stfch an excitement few years ago there
was some talk Of the sporting fraternity IN
tending to erect for him monument, but
they never did.
Thus perished perhaps the most magni
ficent specimen Of physical manhood that
the United States ever produced. He never
learned letter he never felt a refining in
fiuence he never had Il real friend. His
rapid growth, great size and immens
strength prevented all possible parental
moulding or influence. 1t wLs fortunate
for himself that his birth was in place,
and at Il time, where and when necessity,
We may say, forced him to run to waste.
