A WILD MAN.-Oa Saturday We met a
gentleman who lives on the west side OF
the San Joaquin. about seven miles west
OF Hills Ferry. who made the following
statement: While in the Coast Range.
about ten days ago, hunting, he aud his
campanlon encamped on the side OF a
ravine near the SUNNI of the range. In
the morning they discovered smoke
lower down the ravine, aud, upon going
out upon the side of the hill to ascertain
the origin of it, they discovered an object
which puzzled them to name, and az
their curiosity became excited, they crept
carefully toward it, in order to satisfy
themselves what kind OF an animal they
had discovered. By creeping upon the
ground they we're able TO approach with
in ono hundred yards. when to their
astonishment, they found that the object
which they had approached with the in-
tention of shooting was man, perfectly
nude. but covered from head to foot with
o most remarkable growth OF hair. The
hair upon his head and his beard were
very long, reaching to his waist; while
his body, arms and limbs were protected
by the same natural covering. Hoping
to approach and capture this strange
being. they attempted to creep nearer;
but he took alarm and rapidly ran away.

Grants Return Home.

The ovation extended to General
Grant, on his arrival at San Francisco,
on the steamship City of Toxic, is per-
haps unsurpassed in the history of any
man however great and Of whatever
nation. The entire city of San Fran
cisco was brilliantly decorated and
ablaze with electric lights and the dis
play of fire works. Theripging of bells,
the volley Of cannon, and the cheer upon
cheer that rent the as the City of
Toxic neared her mornings is said
to have been deafening. A procession
numbering hundreds of carriages
while thousands were on foot carry
ing red, white and blue torches,
made up the grand pageant. Every
thing was enthusiasm and confusion,
and laughable as it may seem, Kear-
ney's followers who, for atime, enter
tanned the proposition to hang Grant in
efisy upon his arrival, took an impor-
tant part in the ovation. Grant sailed
from Philadelphia for Liverpool on the
18th day of May, 1877, and hence has
been absent from the American conti-
nent two years and a little over four
months. 1t is said over $1,000 persons
were present on the various steamers
that went out to meet him by invitation
of the committee, besides those present
on private steamers and tugs. Grant
had received no pspers bearing later
date than May, hence his anxiety to
know the news from his own country.
He made but few inquiries regarding
politics, and is not a candidate for the
Presidency. He laughingly said that
he doubted if his former fellow-towns-
men would not elect him Mayor OF

A special from Rockport, Ind, to a
Cincinnati daily, saysthat a ripthrough
the southern counties of Indiana-Spen-
Ger, Warwick. Vanderburg, Posey, Knox,
Pike and Dubois-that grow to-
bacco than all the balance of the state
of Indiana, it is observed that the rains
of the past three weeks have damaged
the tobacco crop of these counties from
twenty tn twenty-five per cent, and in
some localities even TO a greater ex-
tent, nearly entire fields being ruined.
1t is also noticeable that an almost equal
loss has fallen upon the crop from the
same cause in the counties of Hender-
son, Davies, Hancock, Beckinridge and
Meade, in Kentucky. Tobacco is the
chief crop in many of these counties, and
consequently the loss will fall heavily
upon the farmers. A great deal of dam
age has also been done in many localities
to the growing corn crop, the heavy
rains and accompanying winds of the
first part of this month and the latter
part of August laying the stalks fiat
upon the ground, where they are rotting.
In all these counties, and indeed through
out all Southern Indiana, a greater
acreage is being sown to wheat than ever
before.

A Punishment wen Deserved.

AT Martinsville, Ind, a murder has
occurred that, if the particulars given
leading to the crime are correct, is a de-
seryedly merited punishment. A
drunken mar named Flora Flutz a year
ago ruined the sister of one Lenanear, of
which, it is said, he often took occasion
to boast in Lenanear's presence. The
other night, thinking his brutal perse-
cutions had not been dastardly enough,
it is said he tried to pick a quarrel with
Lenanear, failing in which, he followed
him and began throwing stones. Lena
near, provoked beyond endurance,
turned finally and shot at his a~ssailant
five times, four of the shots taking eff
feet. Popular sympathy is with Lena
near.

A Bararian Legend.

The legend of the wonderful eques-
trian Eppelein Won Challenger, the most
renowned robber of his day, is thus
given by a Nuremberg correspondent:
Tradition has assigned him as the IA
vorite of the commanding chief of the
bottomless pit. BE fourished in the
fourteenth century, and was a rival Of
the celebrated Counts of Brsndenburg,
who had their castles in the vicinity of
Nuremberg. History narrates that they
were all martial gentlemen, who found
stealing a more lively way of living than
working. Among these robbers of the
early days this Herr Won Gailingen was
a sort of sTammany Boss or big
Injun,' and marvellous stories are told of
his dauntless feats. This is q walled
city, the moat being about fifty fee
deep by eighty wide. The local guide
pointed out the exact spot where Herr
Won Gailingen made his wonderful
leap "a. D. 1380), and for the second
time saved his life and limb from the
exquisite agonies of the torture cham
Der. The guide informed me that,
much to the Joy of the Nurembergers,
the great robber was recaptured, and
speedily condemned to undergo the tort
ures of the horrible Iron Virgin. Be-
fore the day fixed for his execution the
people clamored for a public exhibition
of him. This being granted, he was
brought forth, dressed in his armor, just
s he was captured. BE was the possess
sor of a wonderful horse, said to have
been presented to him by his Satanic
Majesty, and to be half horse and half
goblin. The name of the horse was
Black Lightning. When the great chief
was led forth to be exhibited, he craved
n boon, and only one, and that was
that he might have the p~leasureo OF show
ing himself to best advantage upon the
back of his favorite steed. This being
granted, the charger was led forth,

The Hanging of GuetIg-Hi. Crime.

Perhaps one of the coolest and most
deliberate murders ever committed. was
that of the killing of Miss McGlew by
Louis Guetig, at Indianapolis, ON the
10Th of September, of last year. Miss
McGiew was a dining-room girl at the
Spencer House, in that city, which was
kept by Guetig's uncle. Guetig, then
but eighteen years old, was also in the
employ of the Spencer House, as clerk.
He fell desperately in love with Miss
McGlew, much to the ~displeasure of his
uncle, who, to break off the intimacy,
discharged her from his service.
Guetig began drinking, and subse-
quentIy thinking to reinstate the girl
would break off this vile habit, size was
again given employment. Guetig quit
drink ng for the time being and was
again accepted as a lover by Miss
McGlew, but his good resolution was only
temporary. He began drinking again
shortly and it was said, became SO disso-
lutte in his habits that, to preserve her
good name, Miss McGlew refused to re-
gard him longer as a sutton. At this he
became enraged and began a system of
drunken prosecutions" On the fatal
night on which the murder occurred, be
met Mss McGlew in com. any with two
ether girls in a yard attached to the
Spencer House, and walking up to her
said: "Are you ready to make nae the
promise I've wanted SO long?' and drew

Fine Last TerrIble Holocaust.

The particulars of the burning Of the
tenement house in Boston, seem to add
to, rather than diminish, the magni-
tude of the horror. OF the number of
families who occupied the building, it
is reported that an old couple on the
first floor made their escape, and were
not heard of during the night. The
Gillespie family escaped, with the ex-
ception of the wife and mother. The
latter, fifty years old, might have es-
capped by walking six feet, but became
bewildered, and swooned within her
room. She was found by the fremen
in an apparently dying condition, and
was taken to the station with the other
victims of the fire. Her injuries are
terrible burns, external and internal.
Rose Pfeifer, aged ~twenty-three, was
found in the hall of the second floor.
Mrs. Pfeifer and two children jumped
from the window, and were but slightly
hurt, but Pfeifer, the father, was lost.
Meroth, on the third floor, lifted his son
Charles, aged fourteen, out of the win

proven themselves to be little. better
than brutes. A number of French
families were brought to Fall River by
the proprietors of the cotton mills, and
put to work. While four men and their
families, all of whom were working in
the mill, were passing from their home
to the mill, they were assaulted by the
strikers. Several of the male members
were severely beaten, and one woman,
with a babe in her arms, was knocked
down and brutally kicked. The whole
party were roughly stoned.

health. Moderate draughts of tea may
produce an agreeable exhilaration of
mind and body, with no noticeable re-
