Very Solemn Facts.

The most horrible mOnstrosity known
10 the civilized world was discovered
about month ago near Forth Worth,
Texas. IT was found among litter of
wild hogs and had a human head, tail
like that Of a snake, and greenish col
ored eyes. 1t was killed by the gentle
man who found it, and inside of il was
found childrcn's car-ticket on a New
York line.
In Houston, Texas, there were born
about three ears ago, two children to a
negro woman, who were Joined with a
ligament similar TO the Siamese twins,
only the ligament was six feet and three
inches in length, and when the childr n
were being taught 10 walk they fre-
quently became entangled in articles Of
furniture. The phenomenal children
died a year ago.
Mr. Joseph Abrahams, Of Albany, New
York, is the Own'r Of green gingham
umbrella which was offered TO General
Wellington when i'm one Of his severest
fights, and by him refused. The man
who offered the umbrella to Wellington
vowed 10 shatter the strength of the
British army, but did not do it, The
umbrella Is regarded as relic by its

Burning Diamonds.

I'm the year 1894 il was discovered,
by actual experiment, at Florence, that
a diamond would burn. Cosmo III had
one fixed in the focus Of a burning glass,
and, at or some exposure TO the rays
OF the sun, IL cracked, cOrruscated, and
finally disappeared like ghost, leaving
no traces behind. Experiments Of this
kind we're costly. They were long in
yielding any scientific results. II was
only a sovereign prince who could afford
to see his jewels vanish like the gifts Of
a fairy gOdmOther. Another pOtcntate,
the Emperor Francis ! tried number
Of valuable diamonds in the heat Of a
smelling furnace, and may have felt
some qualification in finding they had
disappeared. This was i'm 49,, and
about twenty years later magnificent
diamond was burned in France.
A jewcler named lie Blanc denied the
possibility Of burning diamonds, and
suspected some unfair play on the part
OF Macqucr, the chemist who conducted
the operation lie had often. he a.
serted, exposed diamonds 20 great heat,
with the sole result Of increasing their
brilllancy Mr.. Streeter has done the
same, with success. But I,e Blanc ONLY
knew half of what Mr.. Strceter knows
and when the chemists demanded that
he should inclOse some diamonds in Goa
in crucible, he rashlv aesented, and
in three hours they had all disappeared
Then another jew Ter, Maillard by name
who seems to have had q suspicion of thC
scientific truth. put three diamonds into
an earthen bowl pipe packed IN pow
dercd charcoal, and exposed them, with
out injury, To- intense heat. Lavoiser
who WAS present, proved in vac that by
shutting out the air the diamond wa,
preserved in a furnace. but that che adj
mission OF oxygen, with which the car
hon combines, allows the diamond tc
burn like % piece Of coal.

FerOcity Of the Leonard.

An instance of the ferocity of the
Leopard occurred in the case Of the
missionary Schmidt This worthy man
had gone cut with party Of Hotten-
tots TO a certain Moravian station to
hunt some hyenas, which had been very
destructive to their hOcks, and. in
company with one Of the men, entered a
thlcket In pursuit of beast they had
wounded. Instead Of the hyena. how
ever, the dogs started leopard. which
instantly sprang on the HottentOt and
bore him TO the ground. Mr.. Schmidt
instantly ran forward TO the aid Of the
man, with his gun cooked but before he
could get an opportunity Of firing. the
animal left the HOttentOt and flew with
fury Mt himself I'm the scuf1e he
dropped the gun, but luckily fell above
the leopard with his knee on its stomach
The animal seized him by the left
arm with his Jaws, and kept striking
MIN with his paws. AID tearing his
clothes in tatters from his breast
schmidt, however, being a powerful
man, succeeded, after receiving another
severe bite or two, in seizing the leonard
by the throat with his right hand and
held IT down, in spite Of its desperate
struggles, for n few minutes. and until
MS strength was on the point Of giving
way when HottentOt on the outside
OF the jungle, who heard his cries, came
to the rescue, and shot the ferocious
beast through the heart, 80 that its
death was instantaneous. Had any life
been left, its dying struggles mighthave
been fatal to Mr. Schmidt As IL was.
he was 80 terribly lacerated that for
several weeks his life was in the
greatest danger. The Hottentot who
was first attacked was less severely
wounded, but his face was so much { ,rn
by the enemy's talons, that his eyes
were filed with blood, ana he was unable
to render any aid to the missionary who
had so generously come to his aid.

A Man Frozen to Death with the Their.
mOmeter at Ninety Degrees.

A Meridian (Miss) paper asks the
world to accept the following as truth
! Mr.. James Knox, young man of the
eastern part of this county, has been
l strangely afflicted for about year Hot
or cold he was always affected as freez-
| ing TO death. His case has been eN-
amined 10y several skillful physicians.
and we understand has puzzled them
all He was continually using all the
devices 10 warm himself that man
might who had been chilled 10y exposure
To extreme cold, sitting near rousing
fires enveloped in blankets and the
house closely shut up, and this though
the weather was at summer heat.
1t is said that he would sit by the fire
! and hold his head To it, and almost
roast il in the effort to get warm II is
fact that he put cloths ON h head To
protect the scalp from actual burning
while doing thus, and the cloths have
been set on fire by the heat he sub
Jected them To in endeavoring to warm
his head. Some time ago he made a
visit To Livingston, in the hope of being
benefited by the artesian water. when
DIR. Webb of that town saw his case
Lately he had determined To return 10
Livingston and try again the waters.
and again consulted DIR. Webb, going I
his Office for that purpose. He seemed
rs one suffering from extreme cold, and
asked DIR. Webb if he had any fire i'm his
office.
lie told him he had not, and that il
was too hot TO have fire and be com
Portable. He said be could MT stand il.
and ran out of the office into the street
for the benefit of the sunshine to warm
himself. The next day DIR. Webb had
him in his Office TO make "A more critical
examination of his case, and had a rous-
ing fire. He carefully tested with
thermometer the degree Of animal heat
he carri' d and found it nearly normal.
with all this trouble he lost little flesh
n ld kept a good appetite for food, and
preserved rather healthful look On
Friday he started home again ia wagon
with a Mr.. Meadows driving il. He
had not gone far out of Livingston he
lore he wanted To return, complaining
that he was freezing to death, and
wanted to get somewhere to warm.
Meadows insisted on continuing the
Journey home, and drove forward.
Knox jumped out of the wagon and ran
off into the woods. Meadows pursued
him, and com, elled him to return and
get into the wagon again, and drove ON.
He got rs far as Mrs. Pcteets- Green
Grants old place--with him. Mrs.
Peteet had observed Meadows driving
slowly along the road, and knowing that
he had gone TO fetch the sick man home,
went out TO the gate TO make inquiry.
When Meadows drove up aud stopped,
10 her inquiry he said he believed Jim
Knox was dying. He lay stretched
helpless in the bottom Of the wagon, and
after it had stopped only gasped few
times and died, apparently freezing to
death, with the thermometer at near
ninety degrees.
