4 Soothing StOrT.
H~-~-.-I

Down in Tennessee they have q curiosity
that bids fair to eclipse the fVe-legged calf.
It is anegro who has lived in a mud-hole
twenty-three years.
He is now going the round Of the agri-
cultural fairs in the South, exhibited along
with the mammoth pumpkins and prize
pigs. He isunder a canvas cover and ahand-
organ PLAYS the music of the sphere, while
the curious visitor peep behind the curtain
at ten cents a sight.
Edmund French is this ''greatest living
| curiositv's' 81 name, and he is a monument
to the healing virtues of pure and unadul-
terated mud. In the palmy days before
the wah" Edmund French was a slave.
He ran away from his master. Being chased
by bloodhounds, he took refuge in the
Mississippi ~juugles. Two or three years af-
forwards he was found by some hunters,
buried up to h;s.neck in mud. He wallows
in it, glories in it and wakes fat in it like g
genuine Cincinnati mud-lark. All efforts
10 induce him to forsske this strange abode
are unavailing. He only leaves it long
enough to obtain something to eat. Other
negroes in the neighborhood humor him to
the top of his bent and carry him food, and
white visitors, attracted to him by curiosity.
generally leave a little money with him.
This is the latest way of getting a living
without working for it.
When his mud dries off his fellow carries
water and pours on, and stlrs 1t up to the
proper stage of batter again. He then
sinks into b is luxurious bed, and buries him
self leaving his arms out Counting the free
soil which silks to him he weighs some two
hundred pounds. During all the extreme
cold of last winter he remained in his mud
bed with the water frozen on top all above
him.
The account he gives of himselfis Curl
Gus enough. He says when he took to the
swamps to-escape the b~loodhounds he was
compelled to remain there over winter. He
suffered so from the cold that his extremi-
ties were frosted, and his toes were entirely
frozen off. After ~thawing out he seemed
consumed by a burning heat, to relieve
which he thrust his legs into the cold wet
earth. From that he took to plastering him
selfover with mud, and then to sinking
himself wholly in mud-holes, where he has
lived ever since. The hunters who found
him dragged him out of his adored resting
place, but a soon as he could escape them
he returned to his wallow.
When out of his puddle he declares he is
full of pain, and feel as is he ifburning up.
His skin is very hot to the touch. This kind
of mud bath is worth while. How his ex-
hibitors show him off, whether by plunging
him into q portable tank filled with dirt or
by digging a hole in the ground and filing
it with mud kneaded to the proper consis-
tency, is not stated. At any rate, as a san
itary retreat. u mud-hole is by no means
to be sneered at. If colored light will cure,
wherefore not also a good article of healthy
color mud? In case of nervous irritability,
from too much intellect, We are sure
it would be sublime.
