A Big Irisllman.
Chambers journal.

The Emerald Isle has been long ia
nous for producing giants. The most
celebrated of these was the well-known
O'Brien, whom we first hear of as a
great raw youth crying in public
house because unable to pay the bill,
having been left penniless through a
quarrel with his exhibitor. A gentle
man, taking compassion on him, paid
his debt, and advised the young giant
to set up on his own account. Acting
on this recommendation OBrien
started q public house in Bristol, long
known by the sign ofthe Giants Castle.
A memorial tablet in Trenchard street
Roman Catholic chapel records his
stature rs having been s feet inches.
He was very anxious that his remains
should not fall into the hands of the
anatomists, and gave directions for
securing his grave against dissertation
from hody-snatchers. 1t has, however,
been disputed whether the giants bones
still rest i'll his grave, or form one of the
curiosities of the hunterian museum,
though we believe they still lie undis-
turbed in q deep.sunk grave. Poor
O'Brien had to take his constitutionals
under cover OF darkness, to avoid being
mobbed by the curious, ana like most
big fellows proved himself Il simple
and inofiensive man; though once he
inadvertently terrified watchman al
most to death by lighting his pipe at
street lamp, the sudden appearance Of
which strange apparition threw the
Waterman into fit. His colossal pro-
portions once saved the giant from be-
my robbed, the highwayman who
stopped his carriage riding away in
terror at the sight Of o Brien's huge
face thrust through the window to see
what was the matter.

by the accidental ignition of gas, which

insured for $4,000.

turned out en- masse TO fight the flames
from their dwellings ana with the help
of the Shenandoah fire department,
they were successful this afternoon in
getting the flames under control The
loss so far has been very heavy, but can
not be estimated.
