DEAF AND DUMB DODGE,
As Played by a Would be Arm
less Tramp.

The sympathy Of numerous citizens
has been excited recently by the woe
begone appearance of an apparently
one-armed mendicant, who claimed to
some to have lost his left limb in the
war, while fighting on the side of the
South. Among other letters was the
following printed card:
To the charitable public:
The bearer, Louis tumble, d worthy
object of charity, had the misfortune
of losing both his arms in steam saw
mill by a circular saw, and now APP
peals to you as one who is most de-
serving Of your mite. He has always
been known for his industry and
sobriety. Being now in helpless
condition, any small amount given him
by his charitably- disposed benefactors
will be gratefully remembered by
Yours truly,
CHARLES MILLER"
The unfortunate man probably got
tired Of doing without both arms, and
lately has appeared with one arm and
card calling for assistance as a
wounded soldier. A gentleman to
whom he appealed yesterday had his
doubts, and dexterously by a single
jerk pulled off the beggar's coat, when
two muscular arms were plainly seen.
He had drawn one hand up in his
sleeve and tied the cuff over it with
string to hold it up. John Corners,
as the beggar called himself, was
promptly handed over to the police,
but continued to hold on to his deaf
and dumb dodge, even when he got
sentence of twenty days imposed on
him.

Who Appears at the Funeral Of His
Ophella and Raises Row.
San francisco Dispatch 20 the st. Louis Globe
Democrat.
A sensational scene occurred on June
q, at the funeral of Hermance Lenoir,
a young French gil, who committed
suicide Saturday night because her lover
refused to marry her. A young Brazil
iar., named Ferretara Maries, had been
paying attention to the girl for some
time. She loved him passionately, and
once before, when her parents refused
consent to her marriage with Maries, she
attempted to destroy herself This led
them to an agreement to marriage, but
on Saturday last Maries told the girl
he couldn't keep his promise and
wed her. The result was that 8 he took
strychnine the same night and died in
great agony. She was only sixteen years
BILE character.
To-day, at the funeral in the Odd Fellows
Celnetary, the friends Of the family were
amazed, when the grave was reached
ed, to see Maries step out of carriage
and approach the coffin and mourners
as though to take part in the funeral.
This presence Of the man who caused
his daughters death 80 incensed the IA
Their of the dead girl that he ordered the
intruder to leave. The young man re-
fuse d, and made move to draw his pis-
tol, when the father pulled revolver
and began firing. The first shot whiz-
zed dangerously near Maries' head,
when the coward turned tail and ran for
his life. Lenoir fred five shots, but the
fugitive 5ti made s rs good time that he got
ment among the mourners, but the
majority excuse the fathers action
on account Of the extreme cowardice and
meaness of the young man.
