A Kentucky Giant and hi. wife.
Rochester Exprsss.l

kNNNNNN@
There is on exhibition in a store on
State street, in this city, perhaps the
most remarkable couple in the world
a man and woman who are giants in
stature. They are Mr.. and Mrs. NJ.
V. Bates, whose home is now in Sc
vile, Medina county Ohio. They are
both six feet eleven and a half inches
in height, the husband weighing AIS
pounds, while the wife weighs Alb
pounds. The cOmmon-sized visitor,
when placed between them, feels very
much as CULVER musthave done when
he fell among the giants. Mr.. or Cap.
tain Bates, as he is called, is quite
finely proportional man, of ruddy,
healthy-lOOking complexion, straight
and military-lOoking in sregimentals.
His immense stature is not so notice
able as that of his wife, who seems al
most awkward ON account of her length,
she being actually taller for a woman
than he for a man. They are evident
ly people who, if not so wonderfully
tall, would be considered common
place. They are intelligent, however,
and the lady especially feels the awk-
wardness of her position as the object
of the curiosity and the open-mouth
wonder of the multitude. In an inter-
esting conversation with our reporter
she showed openly her dislike of the
life she is leading and her longing to
return to her home in Ohio. Their
home, by the way, was one built esPe-
eially for them. The ceilings are 123
feet high, and no doors are less than
81 feet high. Of course they find the
hotel Accommodations unsuitable to them
wherever they go, as the doOrways are
so low and the beds 50 short. One Of
the strangest facts about their history is
that they were the children of COM
mon people. Mrs. Bates father was
only five feet four inches in height,
while her mother was only a common
sized woman. Her brothers and sis
tiers are of no remarkable height. Cap
tain Bates father was six feet two
inches IN height-a tall man, but
dwarf compared with his son. Bates
is now twenty-nine years of age.-He
is a native of Letcher county, KY
His wife is Nova Scotian, twenty
seven years of age. They were mar
ried in bondon, England, while tray
cling in that country on exhibition.

what Was found In AN old Trunk

A citizen of Hickory county, No.,
last week met with singular piece Of
good fortune. While at Kansas City,
in September, 1869, he purchased an
old trunk, advertised as unclaimed
property by the United States Ex-
press Company, which proved to con-
tain only some valueless articles and
dirty clothing. On his arrival home
the trunk was converted into a recep-
table for wood, for which purpose it
was used till week since, when be-
ing partially demolished, it was con-
verted into kindling wood. Between
the wood and zinc bottom was found
S3,085. The trunk bore no marks to
indicate who the owner might have
been, and the reasonable superstition
is that it was shipped to some ficti-
tiOus name, and contained stolen mon
ey, which, either by interference of
arrest, or from fears of detection, re-
manned uncalled for:

"And Still They Gomez

George w. Russ, the Chairman OF
the Independent State Central Com
mittee Of Indiana, comes out square
footed for Tilden, Hendricks, and Re
form. In card to the Indianapolis
Sentinel, he says:
Having bid last farewell to the
so-called sOft-money party, it would af-
ford me great pleasure could l return
to my first love, the Republican party.
Can honestly and conscientiously do
50? Let's see. Grant, my old COM
mander, is still at the head of the Re-
publican, administration. Once he
commanded the loyal ship of State.
Unfurled at its masthead was the Stars
and Stripes, the worldwide emblem of
liberty and freedom. But where do /
find him now? Commanding a priva-
teer from whose masthead disgraceful-
ly faunts the "bloody shirt"
THE PRESENT EMBLEM OF SECTIONAL
STRIFE
and sectional animOsities. Long since
the blood stains would have been eras-
cd by time from its tattered folds only
for the occasional touching up with po-
litical war paint by the great warriors
and artists-Morton and Blaine. This
craft is manned by a crew of pirates,
thieves, dOgs-men who have in polit-
ical strife lost all manhood and respect
for the nation. 1t is unnecessary for
me to mention Belknap, Babcock &
Co, as part of this crew. The Re
publican party promises us a new COM
mander in the person of Gen. r. B.
Hayes. Ibelieve him to beagood man,
but l fail TO see in him the Jacksonian
elements necessary to force the Fustil-
anian crew to disperse and place in
their stead honest men, men who would
retrieve the lost prestige of our once
honored nation; restore confidence to
our people, financially, and through
the resuscitating influences thereof
bring unbOunded joy to the starving
thousands. 1 look back with pride to
some of the glorious achievements of
this one great party. The liberation
or 4, 900, 900 blacks under the the saint
ly martyr Lincoln, is an oasis in its
otherwise desert history, and viii be in
futurity the brightest gem in Column
bias crown. But how short the res
pite when the goddess of victory bows
her head in humility and shame, and
the goddess of liberty sheds bitter
tears when they see sthe same party
commence repairing the broken shack
les of the blacks and forging new ones
to manacle her fairer sons and daugh-
tiers alike.

A Warning TO Girls Who Want to
Wear Brooches

Doctor Mary Walker was parading
the streets Of Washington, the other
day, with the usual crowd of boys
Struggling after her crying. "See
them pants" "Oh, here's fun" Feel
ing thirsty, the doctor passed into a
house and asked a couple of girls for
atlrink of water. The girls at first
screamed, thinking that the doctor was
a man. The doctor resssured them,
and repeated her request for water
The girls were so over overcome with
giggIing that they could do nothing
but direct the doctor to the pump in
the yard, forgetting the presence of a
large Newfoundland dog. Mary trip
ped out to the pump and bent over to
get a drink. No sooner did the dog
spy the strange creature in the yard
than he nabbed, after the fashion Of
all dogs, at the angle of the bend. The
figure strengthened up very suddenly,
and there was some screaming and
struggling. A good deal of damage
was done to the pants, and the dog was
finally made to relinquish his hold. 1t
is hoped that this will be q terrible
warning to any giddy girl like the doc
tor who may fancy that she would
look well in breeches.-I Boston Post.
