A MODERN SAMSON.

If report speaks truly all the as

strong men of antiquity, including
Hercules, samoan and Milo Of Cro>

cent performances Of a French ath
lete, Joigery by name, who is at
present fulfilling, to crowded houses,
and engagement in Berlin Vaudeville
Theater. Tossing about huge can
non balls with a sportive grace. this
person appears nightly on a raised
platform in the body of the theater,
above of which platform is suspended
an ordinary trapeze. His ankles
are !hen fastened to the trapeze SC
that he swings downward few feet
above the central surface of the cen
trail stage, and in fall view of every
one in the house A horse, covered
with gay trapping and begirt with q
broad leathern surcingle, to which
two strong loops are attached, ia then
conveyed to the stage, aud full
grown man. When all these prelim-
inaries have been effected, Joignery
seizes the loops in both hands, and
by sheer muscular strength lifts the
"horse and rider some inches off
the stage, sustaining their combined
weight in the air for several seconds
and letting them down again as
slowly and evenly as he had raised
them Upon the occasion of his first
performance the horse selected for
the experiment was so panic strick~

persons who would make him sleep.

McEtrath slept not Some persons
insinuated that he slumbered and was
not aware OF the fact. His family
and peighbors sat up night after
night aud watched but not wink
of sleep did Thomas have. The fact
that McElrath remained in good
health and gained, instead Of lost Of
flesh, and continued to work hard
daily throughout the summer season,
was something that philosophers and
physicians alike could not explain.
McElrath was indeed phenomenon
aud his case without parallel lie
was positive that he did not sleep

hours OF wakefulncss came to an end

years, he slept one long delicious

A vineyard proprietor of the
Haute Garnue, France, while re
Gently engaged in tasting his wine,
came to large vintage, and was
shocked at what he described as its
Fantastic flavor" He accordingly
allowed it to run into another vessel,
and proceeded to examine the bot
tom of the receptacle, when. to his
horror, he discovered the body of
one of his own workmen, who had
mysteriousIy disappeared last Octo.
Der. The comforting piece of intelli.
gence is added that the authorities
have forbidden the sale of the wine,
but the sequel is less satisfactory to
brandy drinkers, who learn that the
fluid, which has been undergoing
such unusual treatment will be hand
ed over to the distillers.

A PENCIL IN A MANS BODY.

Over five weeks age Hartford
man had a fall, and was rendered in
sensible. After being taken home,
a surgeon discovered slight wound
in his boly, close by the heart, aud
thought the man had either been
stabbed or shot. A few days later,
however, small pieces of black lead
began to ooZe out of the wound, aad
it was then concluded that, in fall
ing, the point Of lead pencil, which
the man had in his vest pocket,
penetrated the body. Probing later
brought out little wood. To day
the surgeons, who have watched the
case with much interest. used the
knife, and to their astonishment, a
whole lead pencil, which had been
sharpened bni once, was extracted.
It was g inches long, and the woed
was split in tao. Il had been com
pIetely Embedded beneath the chest,
and not half an inch from the heart.
The man is very weak, but it is
thought he will recover.

The ART OF LETTING OTHERS
ALONE.
OIarpers Bazaar

(llarper's Bazaar
1t might be said with propliety
that the art of letting Others alone is
essentially lost art, one which
every body breaches add nobody
practices. We are all so thoroughly
interested 10 each other that inter-
ference is a necessity of the case it
would seem sort Of inhumanity to
let others alone We should feel like
the Pharisee who passt d by On
the other side, and earn for them>
selves the reputation of selfish indif
ference, since human nature has be
come SO accustomed TO the naggiug
process that it is apt to feel itself
left out in the cold whenever it is let
alone, as If there were something alb
normal in the exemption, like being
cut off from participation in any of
the universal experiences of the
race. Is it not, in fact, the most
difficult art in the world, as we'll as
the most obsolete. Do our elders or
our sav&nts know it Did our fore~
fathers study it 7 Are we not always
striving to arrange and re arrange
the lives of others to sal. our owe
views and convenience 7 Can we
see our neighbor diverging from
the beaten track withou! putting
stumbling block in bis wayG Do
NE not advice him about his invest
meuts, his love affairs, his children 7
DO we leave him in peace at his ta>
BILE, at his toilette, his prisons, his
charities 7 Though it is generally
conceded that a mans religion is
something between himself and God
alone, do we not act as if it wera
rather between himself and us, as if
We had a mission to reform bis
creed We talk great deal about
mindiDg our own business, but we
are morally certain that somebody
else will mind it for US, provided we
are kind enough to neglect it in The
interest of others, Is theregpot some
moribund Cinsus who is anxious to
establish a chair in our universities
the cultivation Of his neglected art,
beside which our knowledge OF the
classics, our acquaintance with the
higher mathematics, our intimacy
with all the hypothesis of the cos,
mos, is of no social value? But who
can teach US its a b cf And shall
we begin its practice at our own fire,
side or next door ? In the mean
time, letting others alone can not be
learned in a day, any more
than painting or soul pture; and a
few of us are born with a natural
genius in that direction, vi lle such
talent as we may possess has probs
BIZ grown shabby from disuse When
we can see EIighAyer riding his mus
tang without threatening him with
being brought home on shutter
when the parsons daughter may hirt
with hereto uumolested by word
or deed of ours when our friends
may burn her gas late without our
comments, put all her earnings into
her wardrobe instead of the bank
without our Interference, or give to
the street beggars and encourage or
gan>grinders without our meddling-
we may begin to believe that the art
is reviViDg amongst us.

OF the Cincinnati Southern, the

Sheridan in telegram to General Sherman
says that he understands General Meigs is
to be retired and asks that General
Rucker may be appointed to the position
of Quartermaster General. He says that
if appointed Rucker will resign soon after
he is confirmed by the Senate at its next
session in order that General Rufus ingalls,
may then be appointed to the position.
1t is not believed that the President will
consent to this arrangement. 1t is probable,
however, that when Gen. Meigs is retired
that Gen. Rucker, who is next in rank,
will be appointed to the vacancy. The
President stated few days since that he
should take his time in deciding the es
tion of returning Gen. Meies and other Off.
