The Two Largest People in the
World.

Mother Nature is, in the main, a
a steady-golng old dame, but now
and then she abandons her regular
rules and methods, and turns out
some very queer pieces OF handi-
work. freaks OF nature" We say
and the phrase is not bad one, as
applied to those unfortunate speci-
mems of humanity who come into
the world with ~uperhuous crani-
um, or an extra .nplement of legs.
Ii is a question whether the specta
Gle of such monsters" IS likely to
have a revolving effect on the aver
age mind. No one but a person an
mated by spirit of scientific curl
osity, or by morbid and unhealthy
tenden cies can find much pleasure
in gazing on objects like these,
whose misfortunes, one would think,
had best be buried from the world
But natures freaks tend sometimes
in an opposite direction; now and
then she raises instead of lowering

The Anti-Grant Boom.

A ST. Louis dispatch says the
republican anti third term commit
tee has adopted a call for a Dationa
mass convention, to meet in ST
Louis, May 6, to the end that &
national organization may be per
fected, through which a proper ex.
preston of the people against the
principle of a third presiden ia
term may be secured, with a view u
limiting BY a constitutional amend
meDt the executive tenure.
The cali recItes the patriotic pre-
cedenL OF Washington and his sue
eessors and the declaration OF Jefier
son that '.if some termination TO the
services of the chief magistrate be
not fixed by the Constitution or
supplied by practice his office nom
inalyl, for years, W Ii in fact become
for life.
1t cordially approves the declara-
lion of the Pennsylvania State re-
publican convention in 1875, also
that OF New York against third
term and deprecates the evident
purpose of faction of the republi-
can party u secure the re election
of Grant, thereby endangering the
success OF the party and threaten
ing TO subvert the policies hitherto
regarded as the safeguards of oui
institutions.

A Dead Man Rises Up Stiff and Rig
id, and the People Leave
the Room
Little Rock, I Ark. } Gazette.

1lttle ROCK ARK. GazetJes
Several days ago, j. McCloud, OF
Faulkner county, died OF rheuma-
tism of the stomach. A large party
volunteered to sit up with the
corpse, and when night came many
sad women and men were seen, sal
lowed by the mellowing light of tai
low candles. The minister came,
ard entering the room, remarked
Earth 10 earth and ashes to ashes"
The corpse lay on table covered
with a sheet. "He has gone over
the road we must all travel" said
the minister. A night-bird, with a
mournful cry, answered. A daugh
ter of the deceased came in with an
apron full of tea cakes, which, with
slow shuttle, she distributed
around the room. 1--WE should pre-
pare to follow him." said the minis
ter, complacently blowing cake
crumbs toward the corpse, as
though he wished his words to wait
away with winning sweetness. The
nightbird again cried out, and the
company sat silently chewing
cake.
Il thought 1 saw the sheet
move" said one of the watchers.
"See if there is cat under IT,"
Il am confident that the sheet
moved" said the man,
The minister arose and lifted the
sheet, aud, standing. be looked at
the pallid face of the dead man.
The corpse's head left the table. The
minister fell back. Stiff, stark and
terrible the corpse slowly rose from
the table to a sitting posture. The
legs remained stretched out and the
arms remained folded. The women
shrieked and ran from the room, and
the minister, reprimanding them
for their weakness and want of con
fidence. climbed fence and stood in
a turnip patch. When the frightened
people saw that the corpse did not
intend to follow, they went back
into the house. The corpse still re
tanned the upright, rigid position,
stiff as the position struck by an
amateur on the stage
With fears somewhat allayed,
the minister advanced, and placing
a hand on the dead mans breast,
pressed him backward. Proper
tionately as his head went down,
his heels came up. and when his
head touched the board his heels
were high in the air. The cause of
the dead mans freak was then dis
covered. The muscles of the stom
ach, distorted by rheumatism, were
contracting. 1t required the efforts
of two men to straighten the corpse.
A gentleman who was present de-
c!ares he never spent such fearful
night, and with Clarence aLds: Il
wunId not pass another such
night, though 'twere to buy world
of happy days, so full of dismal ter
ror was the time"

the physical standard of the race.
1t is not often that this occurs
and when it does, most men
feel their interest aroused regard
ing such types. For the informa-
ton of our reader we wish to Law
before them few facts regarding
two individuals who may fairly
claim to be the largest man and wo-
man on the face of che globe, and
who are likely shortly to visit us in
connection with w. w. Coles New
York and New Orleans Circus, Mu-
scum, Hippodrome, and Msnagerie.
The gigantic couple rejoice in the
name of Mr.. and Mrs. NJ V. Bates.
The gentleman stands eight feet
lacking ] in h, in his stocking sole,
and his wife is the same heights.
The were weighed together the 9TH
er day, it may be mentioned, and
turned the scale at little over
half a ton! Both come OF a hardy
stock, Mr.. Bates haiiing- from Ken
lucky, while the lady represents the
cold but not inhospItable province
of Nova Scotia. Some years ago
they made the tour of England,
where they created a great sensa-
ton, appearing by command, before
Her Majesty. The royal, lad We IN
derstand. expressed herself vastly
pleased with the novel spectacle.
In fact. her appreciation took
very solid form, and Mr.. Bates now
treasures in his possession a mag
nigcent gold watch, set with dia
monds, also a chain, the gift of
Quee.. Victoria. Mr.. Cole is GER
tainly to be congratulated on his
good fortune in securing this doub-
lie attraction, itself a show with
double the fee they charge for ad-
mission to the whole entertainment.
These nineteenth century giants
are legitimate objects of curiosity
and even those who are not in the
habit of patronizing such entertain
ments should for once make an ex
ception and go to see what may be
termed without undue exsggerati on,
the eighth wonder of the world.

Why She Missed the Boat.

San Francisco News Letter: She
was to meet her adored one on the
g o'clock Oakland boat, and it
wanted fifteen minutes OF the hour.
Her hand was on the door to go
out, when it struck her that she had
forgotten to line her left eyebrow.
Rushing to the glass to rectify this,
she discovered a small red spot,
commemorative of departed PIN
pie. A dab of lily-white settled
that defect, and she was about to
make a fresh start, when back
ward glance assured her that her
new hat was not as becoming as it
should be. So she stopped just
long enough to give it punch
over one ear and a "hvke" in the
back. Then her "Reamier locks"
wanted little arranging, snd an
inch of blonde must be pinned
across her nose. Then she parted
her lips to sec if her filled tooth
showed very plainly. and that
started a most seductive dimple in
one cheek which suggested scrap
of black courtplaster, on its very
verge to call attention to its dan
gers, like sign-bord on thinly
frozen pond. Then she tipped the
glass and stuck in the curling tongs
to hold it, and walked across the
room with her head over her shout
der to get a back view, gave her
drapery a twitch here and a pat
there, tried - see how long q step
she could take without bursting the
tapes, gave herself little shake
like a sparrow after a shower,
changed her four button gloves for
six, sprinkled LubIn's latest on 1er
handkerchief, stamped her little
French heels once or twice to settle
herself, and, Selling her parasol in
the most approved style to show
the lace to advantage, started for
the ferry, where a smiling official,
either in a fit of admiration or sar-
casm, offered her his glass with
which to watch the fast receding
boat, already half across the bay.
