A WONDERFUL FRENCHMAN.
he Fails for 10000, 900 Francs and Eventually
Pays Up in Full.
philadelphia Telegraph

philadelphia Telegraph
The most remarkable man in
Paris at the present moment is Nj.
Phillipart, whose name aud doings
are on every mans tongue. My
travelling companions compared
him to Baron Grant, but Baron
Grant, in his most palmy days,
never conceived schemes half so
colossal as this man. A few months
ago Phillipart was bankrupt. Now
he has paid every creditor in full,
and is worth nobody knows how
many millions. He must have
some money, for it took S0,000,000
francs to pay his debts. Some
time ago this French fnancier
came to grief over a gigantic
scheme for the amalgamation ofthe
French and Belgian railways. Now
the State has adopted the whole or
some portion of his plans, and
bought Phillipart's interest In the
project. He promptly seized the
opportunity to pay his creditors in
full and bring out the "Banque Eu-
ropeenne," and is at this moment
the most talked-of man in France.

Pertinent Suggestion from a Tax
payer.

EDITOR HERALD: / see by yes
terday's papers that the Reverend
Mr.. A. M. Hough has been nomi-
mated for Councilman IN the Fifth
Ward.
In view of the fact that the Rev.
Isaac Kalloch has been elected
Mayor of San Francisco, and the
Reverend Pompey Jones janitor of
the County Court House at San Ja-
cinto, there seems to be deep
seated conspiracy among the Bap-
lists and Methodists to secure con-
trol of the government of this glo'
rious republic.
To make matters even, from re-
ligious standpoint, and guarantee a
"fair deal all round" respectfully
suggest the nomination of the Rev
erend Rabbi from the Second Ward
and Reverend Father Peter from
the First Ward. Both reverend
gentlemen would make good Coun-
cilmen. Respectfully,
TAXPAYER.

A Lively Wake.

A few days ago q man died near
San Fernando, and his friends &C.
cided to hold an Irish wake. The
corpse was stretched on q bench
and covered with cloth. After
the parties had sat around the body
for couple of hours, it occurred to
them that q bucket of beer would
not be amiss, and one of the boys
went out to get the cheering bever-
age.
AS soon as he was gone, his
friends removed the body to an.
other room, and one of the walkers,
with awful levity, stretched him
self on the bench and, assuming
the rigidity of u dead man, allowed
himself to be covered with the
cloth.
AT this iuncture an old lady and
an old man entered the room for
the purpose of helping to watch the
body and probably also to help
drink the beer.
On returning, the messenger
placed the foaming stuff on the ia
BILE and proceeded to dip it out to
the crowd. Suddenly the supposed
corpse raised himself stitfiy on the
bench, and said: "Ow! ow! but l
want some o. that meself." This
was sufficient to set off the poor
uninitiated fellow, who jumped
through the window with an un-
earthly yell, carrying away with
him sash and glass in his hurry.
The old man made for the window
at 1:25 gait and got clear away.
The old lady bolted for the same
place of exit but tainted near the
window-sll, while the cold sweat
broke out over her wrinkled brow.
The old man and his wife have
since recovered, but they cannot be
prevailed upon to attend another
wake. AS for the beer carrier he
has not been heard from since and
is believed to have gone to Arizona

1t has ever been preiicated by
scientists (?) that because colors
could never be reproduced by the
process of photography that it had
no objective existence, and that
it was all sensation as produced by
the refrangibility of light-that the
refracted rays striking against the
retina were communicated by the
optic nerve to the brain, and that
the rapidity with which these wave
rays struck the the retina produced
the sensation known to us as red,
blue, etc. Those, however, who de-
sire to see old ideas exploded and
new truths demonstrated should
call at No. s Also street, the
largest dyeing establishment in the
city, and witness the operations of
Marteen as he segregates the COM
ponent parts of each sunbeam and

MISTAKES OF NATURE.
Th, BOy-fuhss of Morgan County.
INT. Sterling pemocrat. ]

INT. Sterling Democrat.)
Two of the most marvellous spec-
imens of the genus homo have been
discovered in Morgan county, Ky.
They are two boys named James
and Henry Elan, aged respectively
eight and twelve years. Th ese
boys talk nationally, are ordinarily
intelligent, but are peculiar in hav-
ing no hair on their bodies and
heads. Their skin is covered with
heavy scales, like fish At the ell
bow, knee and foot joints the skin
is very thick, resembling the skin
of an alligator. They never per-
spire, but turn right blue when
heated. They take to water as ma.
turally as fish, but, strange to say,
can't swim. They dive and crawl
along the bottom with great activ-
ity and delight. They cannot walk
bare-footed, their feet cracking
open, but have to wear shoes all the
time. Their eyes are large and
round, not almond-shaped, and the
lids are very red. They never
wink, and sleep with their eyes
wide open, and are always in mo-
ton when asleep. The features are
said to be very good and regular.
They have to keep their bodies
creased when not in the water.
When the body becomes dry the
skin cracks open. Their heads are
covered with scales in lieu of hair
The boys handle snakes with i'm
punity and delight, frequently
quarre'ing over II single reptile, OuL
satisfied when each has one, and
snakes have no antipathy to them,
but follow them like dog does his
master. The mother of these mon
strosities has borne eight children.
The eldest, daughter of sixteen,
is beautiful of form and features,
and the other children are not at all
peculiar. She cannot account for
natures freak in these cases. They
are expected to be in Mt. Sterling
shortly, when our scientists will
have an interesting problem to
solve,

The two men were thrown

away. The two men were thrown
out of tho buggy and slightly in.
jured. After running several
blocks the runaway collided in
front of Messrs. Lips 81 Craigue's g
store, on Los Angeles street, with
another buggy driven by a Mexi-
can and both vehicles were utterly
wrecked, and Lucas's horse was
hurt in the shoulder.
We have been creditably in
formed that the railroad authori-
ties at Wilmington have made ar
rangements to vigorously prosecute
the dredging of the harbor, and
they seem confident that they will
be able to increase the depth of
water at the wharf to such an ex-
tent that vessels drawing twenty
feet will have no difficulty in com.
ing up alongside of it. This will
be a vast improvement and Is
bound to increase the shipping at
Wilmington.
A lively runaway took place yes
terday morning on Main street. AS
the proprietor of the wagon
was getting on the seat his
foot slipped and he fell down be-
meath the hind feet of the horses,
hurting his thumb and the back of
his head in the fall. The horses
became frightened and started off
at at tremendous gait. Considering
the number of carriages and people
who were on the street at the time,
1t is marvellous that no one got
killed. The horses continued their
mad career until they reached the
Plaza, where they ran against a
tree and got stopped, with hardly
any damage to themselves or to the
wagon. Ex-City Clerk Caswell had
a narrow escape from being crushed
by the runaway team, and II 1t had
not been for Officer Thorpe's pres
ence of mind, who, being oD horse
back, made them change their d.
rection by riding against them.
Mr.. Caswell would undoubtedly
have been run oyer and injured.
A woman was murdered at Will
mington some time on Wednesday
night. She was a Mexican who
lead bad life and was known by
the name of Adela. On the night OF
the killing she and another wom-
an, accompanied by a man named
Isidoro Mendez, went into several
saloons aud drank quantity of
liquor. What happened afterwards
has not yet been clearly establish
ed, but the unfortunate Adela was
discovered this morning shot dead
with bullet through the eye.
Mendez, who is believed to have
committed the murder, has fled
and, so far, has evaded the officers.
The other woman was arrested yes
terday morning and taken before
Justice Savage. She denies all
completely in the commission of
the crime and says that she saw
Mendez do the shooting. Details
regarding the murder are scarce
and up to late hour last night
Coroner Harmon had not been no.
titled. AT the Sheriff IS office no
information had been received.

Doctors Who Disagree.
(New York Worid.)

DR.. Smith has declared war to
the knife on melons, and all pa
tients of his were forbidden to
touch the tabooed fruit under PEN
atty of dire pains and torments.
What was not the surprise of one OF
these patients on sauntering into
his club for lunch to find the doctor
squaring his elbows before q gigan-
tic hemisphere of the perfidious
fruit swell, doctor, it seems you
have two sets of advice--one for
yourself and one for Others" "Oh!'

a slight upward hitch of the eye
brows, "Jones is my family physi-
clan, and he recommends melons. !"
