Oakley Hall's Library.

BEFORE he made his memorable trip
to Europe Oakley Hall sold his valuable
law library at auction, and now he Of
fers his no less valuable theatrical IL
brary at private sale through j. w.
Bouton. Among these books is Do
rams Annals of the Stage" extended
by inserted plates, autograph letters,
ETC., to six large volumes. | remem-
Der when the book was made for Mr..
Hall by Scribner, Wexford & Arm
strong, and it cost him $1,000. Ele-
giant and costly volumes were torn to
pieces to obtain illustrations for this
book, and Europe was ransacked to
make it complete. Still, that was a
large price. 1t is offered now at very
much less than that sum. Another in
teresting book in this collection is Ire
lands s" History of the American Stage"
This book, also, is extended to six vol
umes, and begins with the earliest days
of the drama in this country, and goes
down to the present. 1t is full of illus
trations and autographs that are highly
interesting to lovers of the drama, and
as it contains the portraits of many con-
temporary actors and actresses, taken
some ten or more years ago, it is ex-
ceedingly amusing. Some of them look
ten years older, rather than ten years
younger, than they are to-day. There
is one of John T. Raymond, at the age
of twenty, which is as funny and as in
nocent-looking as his Col. Sellers. The
ladies all wear enormous hoops, and
their hair brought down plain over their
foreheads. The soubrettes look as old
as the "old women" 1t must be hard
to part with such books, and Mr. Hall,
of all men, would not do it unless he
was very much in need of money. He
has some bills to meet soon that he is
anxious to pay, and that is his only
means of raising the necessary funds.
He is working very hard at his profess
sion. Day and night he is at hisrooms
in the Tribune building. He has bed
room fitted up there, so that he can re-
tire without going out, after a late
nights work. The ups and downs of
this world are curious study! There
is the ring boss dead in jail; the
"ring' Governor, Hoffman, out of pub
lie life, and here is the ring lawyer
selling out his library to pay his debts.
At one time these men were among the
most conspicuous and wealthiest men
in New York. They are neither now.

Greeley's Wood Farm.

Among the recent entries of real estate
sales at the Land Office, in White Plains,
is one for eighty-three and fve-eighth
acres at Chappaqua, sold to A. j. Quin-
by for $4,000. The property is me-
morable as being portion of the Gree
ley farm, though not Immediately con-
nected with the old homestead. This
still remains in possession of Mr.. Gree
ley's daughters, Ida and Gabrielle, who
are living at Tarrytown-Ida with her
husband, Col. Smith, and Gabrielle as
a member of the household. Many who
were privileged to visit Mr. Greeley at
his Chappaqua home will remember the
hill farm, or the woodland known far
and wide from the mention of it in the
Recollection" of Mr.. Greeley. When
bit of leisure offered itself from grub
bling around his eleven-dollar cabbages,
or carrying out his radical ideas on
pruning, Mr.. Greeley would harness up
a nondescript vehicle, known as "Gree-
ley's ark" and drive out about two
miles to the eighty-three acres Just now
sold. 1t was as unsightly and forsaken-
looking bit of landscape as the eve of
man ever fell upon. Some few spots
of it might have been turned to q pos
sible use as sheep-pasture, but the
rest was strewn with powders and filed
with ruts. Mr.. Greeley had planted
over the whole plot a crop of locust
trees ("agricola arborem seret," etc. },
and these had come up in u rather
promiscuous fashion. Mr.. Greeley drove
his stout piece of horse-liesh among
them, in his shortsightedness paying
not the slightest attention to such tri-
fling obstacles as holes a yard deep,
powders as high, young saplings or
overhanging boughs, though his guests
were apt to be of a different mind, and
all the time would talk on about the
great advantages of forest-planting
from a poltico-social scientific view
When no visitor offered him victim he
found his way out to the wood-farm and
chopped about with an AK. To-day the
plot is covered with a scrubby growth
of locusts as big as a mans arm.-N

A Life Of Torture.

In the year 1S4S, a boy then eighteen
years old, by the name of Jonathan r.
Bass, lived with George w. Rogers, of
this city, in a house on the ground now
occupied by the Lockport journal build
ing. One evening while on his way to
a pasture field above High street, for
the cows, he was taken with a severe
pain in the bottom of his right foot.
He supposed at first that a nail in his
shoe was hurting him, but upon exam
ination he could find nothing. That
night and for a number of days his
foot was swollen very badly and was ex-
ceedihgly painful, and then got better,
but was more or less troublesome after
that. In the fall of 1919 he went to
Avon four months but got no better
That winter he attended school at our
Union school and in the spring went to
Buffalo for time, meanwhile getting
little worse. For a few months of
the following summer he was able to
act as captain of a canal boat, which
run between Buffalo and Rochester
He did no work, however. After that he
went to G. w. Eastman's commercial
school at Waterville, Oneida County,
and in 1858 kept books for Hall & Co.,
of Buffalo, but continuing to grow
worse he gave up his place and came to
his home in Cambria. In 1854-5 he did
little writing for parties in Lockport,
and in Sc was very bad and suffered
very much, all the joints of the body
and limbs becoming more or less af-
fected by this time. In 1857 he was put
on an invalid bed, made by Moore Il
Glass, of this city, from which he has
never been removed. He could man
age, however, with a good deal of diff
Guilty, to feed himself for eight years
after that; since which time he has been
fed with a spoon, which is quite a diff
cult task, as his jaws are firmly set and
nothing thicker than a knife can pass
them. Yet he eats almost everything
that other people do, and is very hearty
Fat pork, fat beef, baked beans, pota-
toes and milk are his favorites. Being
very much interested in the war, read
ing everything that came in his reach,
which he could do by having it placed
on a rack before him, he so injured his
eyes that in 1869 he became blind, and
has remained so since. He talks with
out difficulty, is very intelligent, and
converses freely upon any subject that
he has had an opportunity to study up.
The writer of this article called upon
Mr. Bass few days since and made a
careful examination of his condition,
and found every joint entirely anchy-
losed, or grown into solid bone, with
the exception of his fingers and toes.
The bones of the fingers of the right
hand have been nearly absorbed, and
the flesh remaining is puffy aud faccid.
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1878-06-22

In the left hand not only the bones of
the fingers but the bones of the whole
hand have undergone this same proc
ess of absorption. The finger-nails on
this were grown out beyond the ends of
the fingers three and one-half inches,
giving weird and inhuman appear
ance to the hand. The arms are straight
down by his sides and fixed in this con-
dition, and in the middle of the arm
and forearm measured only five inches
in circumference.
The limbs are straight-with dislo-
cation of the right hip ioint-but all
firm and solid bone, the thigh measur-
ing only eight and one-half inches
around.
The bones of the toes are absorbed
the same as the hands, and the flaccid
toes droop and hang down like fringe.
The spinal column is also perfectly con-
solidated, thus rendering the body ca
pable of being lifted by ones hands
under his head and heels without Weld
ing or bending the slightest whatever.
The muscles are not paralyzed, but their
action seems perfectly under his control,
as seen by the action of the tendons and
cords.
The pulse is regular, beating seventy
to the minute. strong and full. All the
vital organs are sound and in active
condition, thus rendering him capable
OF living many years longer. On the
whole, this is probably one of the most
| remarkable cases on record in this or
any other country.-LOckpOrt IN ~
