A wild man Discovered En the
FORESTS Of Nebraska

A Wild man Discovered En the
FORESTS of Nebraska
Surely this is an age Of wonders. -
Two Muldoons discovered within the
past sixty days, and nov the Fremont
(Nebraska) IriJoWe cQGes to us with
column article giving the details of
the discovery Of wild man in that
vicinity. Two young men we're out
hunting water fowls when they came
upon the strange being. He was just
emerging from cIump of trees and
underbrush when they caught a
glimpse of him. He was dressed 10
the most primitive style, consisting
of wooden shirt. He had a stick in
his hand, which he swung around his
head as if striking at something be
saw in the air, and uttcring the while
sharp, unearthly noise. Like a
wild animal, he was constantly on
sharp lookout, nervously looking this
way and that as his ear detected the
least unusual noise, or his eye noticed
the shaking Of reed or anything
that vas the least extraordinary
After a few moments he squstted on
his launches under a tree aud began
to dig in the ground with his hands
and the stick, and occasionally car
rying something to his mouth which
he seemed to be eating. The boys
became more interested ia the strange
being than in the object ftheir hunt,
aAd craWlcd cautiously towards him
until near enough to satisfy their cu>
riosity. He was digging roots and
feeding upon them. As nearly as
they could judge from appearance,
he was about forty or forty,fye years
Of age, of strong aud bony frame :
his hair Was so long as to fall in
snarles over his bronzed and dirty
shoulders his beard like his hair,
long and shaggy, and his entire body
covered with growth of HAIR which
could not have been less than an inch
long. His complexion must have
been originally light, as his hair was
of hghush brown. After viewing
him a short time they concluded to
retreat. After going few steps the
monster sprung up aud stared intentN
ly at them. Becoming frightened he
sprsng into the Platte, crossed over
to Little Island, and disappeared in
its thick uuderbrush
Considerable interest, not unmin-
gled with painful curiosity, exists in
the community over the matter, aud
it is the purpose of the young men
who discovered the man to organize a
large party and make every effort
posbible TO capture the man.

suits.

Truckee is q thriving railroad
town. and the starting point for Lake
Tahoe-called the "Gem of the Ser
ras." The road from Truckee winds
along Truckee River upon canon
bearing the same name. 1t is four
teen miles long, with a succession of
fine Views the whole length Of the
road.
The snOw.clad Sierras are on our
right and beautiful timbered hills on
each side of the river. A few miles
up the canon successful fish farm is
in operation. where tens of thousands
of trout can be seen in every stage OF
trout's existence. As we reach the
head of the canon we find we are al
so at the outlet. or the head of the
Truckee River, whose waters, like all
the rivers of Nevada. are lost in
sinks. None Of them have an cutie
into the ocean.
The view as we emerge from the can
on is beautiful. The broad eXpanse OF
the majestic lake lies before us, encir-
cled on all sides by towering noun
tains. Half of the lake is in Nevada,
the other half in California. 1t is
twenty-eight miles long and from
twelve to sixteen miles wide, and has
been sounded TO depth of LOGO feet.
It's waters are n beautiful ultramarine,
and il must be called the purest water
in the world, containing only four
per centum of impurities 1t is so
light and mobile rs TO be easily lashed
into foam or calmed to a mirror-like
surface. In the early morning II Is

objects reflected in il with surprising
accuracy. Sevral steamers of small
tonnage are used ia navigating it. lts
altitude il about six thousand five
hundred feet; il Is always cool aud
pleasant i'm the hottest weather.
The lake never freezes and never
gives up its dead. No person
that was drowned has been known TO
rise TO the surface. Wood ~ soon %
il ia saturated, sinks TO the bottom.
The water il as clear IA crystal, ana
huge rocks fifty feeS down are plainly

A cascade Of surprising beauty is

We have seen no more melancholy
reading anywhere than a recent inter>
view with Tweed, published in the
New York Herald. 1t contains the
opinion of bold, shrewd unscrupu-
lous politician on men and things.
1t is a dark, drenry page, discloaiug
in every line, false aims, false views
Of life, total want Of moral percep-
tion--a want Of. discernmaut of the
moral quality MS a thing to be attach,
cd 20 ends or TO be considered in Sc
IeCting means. In the dark cell of
his prison, however, must have come
some heavenly aspiration. Nothing
else would have enabled him to per,
ceive the great blank in his life, and
turn sadly and YEARLY away from the
vast work Of llteNtime whose re-
suits are nothing and more than moth
ing,
There is the pathos Of despair in
his single reply to the query, what
act, or what performance of your life ,
do you take most pride in -
"Nothing I don't see anything
great that | did
"Not the new boulevsris, nor the
grades over the docks ?"
"Notting. My vanity sees nothing
to delight it. recalll nothing ennis
neut."
There is but one CLEAN Of sunshine
in this blank, this dark void, where
not even q solitary man befriended,
considered that be owed gratitude for
service done by fraud, where no sin
gle good or great deed relieved the
infinite waste. Affection for wife and
children still links the nan with hui
manity, and if contempt is mingled
with our pity for the sad, broken
down, despai5ing man, touch Of real
sympathy is aroused by this tender
Affection

like the recorded utttrances OF the Or
