him order an Indian to kill q girl 10
years old, and then he himself cut the
throat Of her sister. There can be no
doubt of the fiends being guilty, and il

The Manitowoc tribune. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1866-1878, 1876-05-18

ACCORDING to a correspondent of the
Cincinnati Gazette, very singular per-
sonage is at present creating a great
deal of excitement in the scientific cir
cles at Rome. He is an illustrated map
and carries upon his person a complete
map of natural history, including men,
women, elephants, monkeys, crocodiles,
tigers, plants, birds, and hieroglyphics.
He is Greek by birth, named George
Costantinos, years old, and of massive
herculean frame. He came by his marks
in this way Fourteen years ago. he,
with two others were taken prisoners of
war in Chinese Tartary, and subjected
to the most fearful torture, he alone sur
viving. For hours every day, for four
months, he was visited by an artist of
the country, who, while the victim was
firmly held down by four men, executed
by means of lancet dipped in India
ink, all manner of designs upon his skin.
The mans opinion of the reason for such
inhuman treatment is that the natives,
being extremely jealous of their indie
pendence, wished to make all who esca-
ped living witnesses of the danger to
which others might be exposed. If
Barnum does not secure this curiosity,
and bring him out in serial form, he is
not the man we take him for.

FATAL ACCIDENT. A terrible and ia
tai accident occurred at Green Bay on
the morning of the I'd inst, in which q
resident Of Oshkosh was terribly man
gled and instantly killed. The victim of
the accident was John Larie, who has
been employed as an engineer by Weed
& Co. for many years. His permanent
residence has been in this city, where
his family have remained, while he was
engaged most of the time at Weeds
mills at Suamico and Green Bay.
About year ago he was caught by q
wire rope and his arm drawn over a pull
ley and SO badly mangled that amputa-
ton was necessary. When he recovered
from the effects of the amputation, ne
resumed his place at his engine, having
left only his left arm to work with.
Tuesday morning while attempting to
oil or do something to the eccentric,
near the hy-wheel, he lost his balance,
and falling into the fy-wheel, was torn
and crushed in a horrible manner.
Many of the bones of the body were
bioken and the head completely torn
off above the chin and scattered in
fragments all over the engine room
His son, aged abo ut 16, was working in
the mill at the time.-Oshkosh North

A MATCHMAKER on Clark street has in
vented patent compensor etarding- ac-
celebrating clock for in families where
they keep unmarried daughters in stock.
If the young man is of an eligible sort,
the retarding attachment is turned on
and the clock compounds with old Time
at eighty minutes to the hour, SO that at
one a. m. next morning it only indicates
about five minutes past eleven p. m. the
night before, and the young women is
perfectly justified in saying sob, don't
go! 1t is early yet, when the young man
reaches for his hat. On the other hand
if he should not be desirable, they just
shove up the indicator to boiling point
and by half-past nine it is nearly two
o'clock. The patentee, casting himself
upon the generosity of discerning pub
lie, invites patrons to increase the eff
cheney of his invention by iudicious
yawns or remarks, as stDear me! How
the time does fly" and in extreme cases
an admirable effect may be produced
by the father coming in with bedroom
candestick, and saying, ''Good night.
Amanda. Before you go to bed see
that when the girl gets up in the morn
ing she leaves out the milkpitcher. No
family should be without it.

For AMI and lahor met in tr,lce,

For art and labor met in truce,
For beauty made the bride of use,
We thank Thee, while withal we crave.
The austere virtues strong TO save,
The honor proof to place or gold.
The manhood never bought or sold
O make thou us, through centuries long,
In peace secure, in justice strong;
Around our gift of freedom draw
The safeguards of Thy righteous law,
And, cast in some divincr mold,
Let the new cycle shame the old.

REFORM ?-Governor Taylor was elect

satisfy the consciences of the men who
were so anxious to bring the government
