Can Wag His Left Ear

About dozen well-known membel
of the Rhode Island medical society
met Friday at the Office OF Drs. Hutch
inson and Browning, on Mathewson
street, to witness private exhibition
of remarkable nature by Charles A.
Warren of New York. This man met
with an accident in his youth that
caused dislocation OF the hip, and
what was quite remarkable, succeeded
himself in reducing the dislocation.
This power, it seems, led him to tests
of muscular strength and exertion that
finally developed him into man OF ex-
traordinary power, which gave him per-
feet control of all the muscles of the
body, individually and sectionally.
But few days ago he appeared before
DIR. Bigelow, of Harvard college, aud
astonished the doctor by a wonderful
display of muscular movements. The
exhibition Friday was Of similar ma
ture, and produced no less surprise
among the medical savants who assem-
bled to see him. He dislocated almost
any part of his body at will, and then
resumed his natural condition in the
perfect embodiment of physical devel-
opment. He first showed dislocation
of the hip joint of two and half
inches, and just as quickly brought it
back to its normal condition. Displace-
ment of the wrists and the shoulders,
by which he succeeded in lengthening
his arm an inch or more, were next
shown, following them with disloca-
ton of the jaw in downward and for
ward movement. The difference in the
expansion of the chest from its natural
state was seven inches. He showed
dlslocation of the knee joint, and twist
ed his limbs about in almost every con-
ceivable condition, actually bringing
both feet close together, bottom to bot
tom. But perhaps the most singular
performance of all was that done VIII
his aural appendage. The expression.
"Can you wag your left carp" has often
been heard, though hardly ever
realized, but here was man who gave
an actual illustration of it in literal
meaning. The doctors we're amused as
we'll as astonished. Altogether it was
most remarkable exhibition, given
perfectly free from ali deception, be,
fore men of acknowledged medical
learning, who found their subject one
of interesting study. Mr.. Warren is IN
excellent health and is man, as mign1
nat orally be inferred from the forego,,
ing account, OF remarkable physical
power and endurance.--Proridence Jour-
nal.

Running for Office.

The approach of the state and MUM
cipal election is bringing to the surface
the usual crew of aspirsnts for official
honor, and many new candidates. 1t is
useless to warn the old stagers, but the
new ones may flee from the wrath 20
come on reading the experience Of one
Boggs, who ran for Office
Boggs was as peaceable a man as ever
lived.
He was sober, honest and respected.
He had never beaten his wife.
Never taken any interest in q dog
fight.
Had never been known TO pawn some
body else's watch.
And never had attempted to steal a
sawmill
Boggs' character was above reproach.
He Tas a shining light in society.
All Boggsville looked up to and hon.
ored him.
But a change came, a fearful, direful
change.
In an evil hour Boggs accepted the
nomination for Constable Of his native
village.
Alas Poor Boggs
AittlC uiu hC uuuSistdINt luC uCCcil
and treachery of the wicked world.
| His eyes were soon opened, however.
| In less than a week after he was nom
mated, the opposition had fully estab-
lished the following damaging charges
against his character
l. That he was q free-lover and an
intidel.
2. That he had fed his neighbors'
hens on poisoned corn.
3. That he had broken his mother
in-laws's jaw with an iron bootjack.
4. That he onone occasion gave q
whole wagon load of green watermelons
to an orphan asylum.
). That he had served term in the
State Prison for horse stealing.
6. That he had set fire to his next
neighbours barn, merely because he re-
fused to lend him hoe.
Z. That because he found a button
off his shirt he tied his wife to the bed
post and mashed in three of her ribs
with stove poker.
S. That his chief Sunday amuse-
ments were cock-fghting and playing
cards.
8. That he sold his vote every year
regularly to the highest bidder.
10. That he wasn't tit for the place
anyhow.
These charges, although without the
slightest foundation, were religiously
believed by the majority of the voters
of Boggsville.
And Boggs' political goose was
cooked.
His chances for being elected were
not worth three cents on dollar.
When Boggs passed along the street
his neighbors looked at him with sus-
picion and crossed over ON the other
side.
Boggs was miserable being.
The day OF the town meeting came at
last, and Boggs' opponent scooped in
the Constableship by a two-thirds vote.
The anti Boggs party swept their can
didate into Office on the tidal-weve of
popularity, and poor Boggs was left
perched high up on the spike-mounted
picket fence of despair.
Boggs will never run for Office again,
not even for President.
He says it is too great strain on the
character.
If he can regain the esteem of his
neighbors by grubbing along in the old
way, he intends to do it, and leave
oflice-seeking to people of cast-irog rep
utation.-G0lden Era.

LAST NIonT's FIRE,-About II o'clock
last night IN alarm Of fire was sent TO
headquarters from No. 81, at Louis
Soldiers %saloon,i on Market street, Centre
Wheeling. The fire proved to be on AL.
ley A, near the famous paper Mill Alley"
and originated in Q stable owned by Mr..
Vim. Kreiter. How the fire originated,
no n seem to know exactly. However,
the stable was burned to the ground. to.
gether with a lot OF tobacco, hay, ETC., that
Mr.. Krciter had stored in it. The fire
communicated with a frame row OF tene-
ment houses, which were badly damaged
before the flames we're cxtinguished. The
Are department was out, OF coarse, but
seemed rather tRrdy about putting in an
appearance. The Rre in the mean while
made rapid Roadway, and for o time it
seemed that a general conflagratIon was
imminent.
The three tenements were occupied BY
Tod Mercer, Mrs. Della Lanahan and Pat
rick Irwin. The inmates Of the house
named were obliged to get out their iurni.
ture and household goods, anticipating
something seriouss and certainly they had
good reason to. The buildings were not
exactly burned to the ground, but very
nearly.
The stable was insured in the Etna and
German companies for $500. There was
considerable tobacco and haydn the stable,
which were consumed. The tenements
are owned by Capt. Andrew Wilson, and
were insured in the German and Franklin.
We did not learn the exact amount OF
damage.

ed his friends, yesterday afternoon, the oc.

after taking q trip through the brewery
proper To inspect new improvements were

spread with an abundance Of choice edi.
bles, and numerous kegs OF Book were on
tap, and the butting p%ropensities Of the
animal were given full scope. Nor was
this all; Kramer with bis orchestra was on
hand to lend additional charm To- the &C.
caSion. First, music was the order OF the
day, then the sampling Of the
Book, more music, more Book, q little

pleasantly did pass the time that, and in
such hoSpitable manner did the host
treat his guests. assisted by Messrs. Henry

that the time for the dissolution arrived
much too soon for the participants, and
they retired from the premises greatly
pleased and happily disappointed.
Since the Opening OTIS" Mr.. Reymann
has addedan Ice machine, or cooling ap
paratus to his establishment, which was
the attraction yesterday, and was closely
inspected. Although the machine Is in
reality for the purpose OF making ice, Mr.
Reymann does not utilize to that extent,
but uses II TO answer the same purpose, OF
forcing cold air into the vaults, thus
doing away with ice altogether. The
cool air is forced into the vaults Through
seven thousand feet OF four.inch pipe, at
tached to the ceiling Of the vaults, three
thousand five hundred in the lower and
three thousand five hundred in the upper
vault, the pipes being p~erpetually covered
with frost. By this means m average
temperature Of from IS degrees to 40 de.
greesis attained, without the aid OF a sin

saving In this article. The cost OF the ice
machine, We believe, was about 5000 to
$4,000, and 1t is estimated that the say.
ing in a few years will be sufficient 10 pay
the cost. Altogether, Mr.. Reymann has
an establishment OF which he can well feel
proud, and we doubt IL a modern improved
