A Human Monster.

81. Paul Bert has lately sent the editor
of La Nature, from Geneva, two photo
graphs of human monster exhibited
there, living, and aged five years, having
been born at Turin in 1877. 1t has two
heads, four arms and two chests, but one
abdomen and pelvis, and two legs; that is,
it is double above the middle of the body.
The fusion of the two bodies begins at the
sixth rib. From due examination and from
what has been observed in previous mon
STEERS of the kind (they were named Xipho-
DIVINE by Isidore-Geoffroy st. Hillaire), it
may be affirmed that there are four lungs,
two hearts and two stomachs; the small
intestine is double at its commencement,
but in greater part simple. There are
really two individuals. The right leg
obeys only the right individual, who alone
feels pinching of it; and similarly with the
left. The sensibility of each hair of the
body is in exclusive rapport with the
head of the same side. The two lndi-
viduals were baptized doubly, under
tina names of Jean and Jacques. They are
equally developed from physical points of
view Except slight club foot on Jacques
leg,) and Intellectually they are much
alike. Their intelligence is normal; they
reply to questions of visitors in French,
Italian and German. They seem gentle
and amiable, also lively, often playing
together while lying on cushions OF on the
knees of their reputed father. 1t is said
they have never been ill. 1t has been
shown, in the case of other double mon
sters, that one may have an infammatory
fever while the other continued we'll, but
the like would not occur with infectious
disease or poisoning. Several cases OF
these Xipho1yme monsters have been re-
corded in history, but very few have lived

Ghost stories, which have suffered an
eclipse for some time, appear to be under
going a revival. Here is one that is en-
titled to credence, if any are. II is usually
only servants or ignorant persons who see
ghosts, but in this case the apparition was
seen by two persons simultaneously, both
of them possessed of more than common
vigor Of mind.
President Tyler had sister who was
reckoned one OF the most gifted women
of her day. She was the namesake OF
Patrick Henry and the pet of Jefferson
She lived with her father, Gov. Tyler. in

young woman of her own age. s awoke
ana saw her mother, who had been dead
for some months, sitting in the window
seat. 1t was bright night in summer.
and under the window was the bed of a
younger sister, who was an infant at the
time of her mothers death. The
apparition leaned over the child
and gazed intently on it. Miss
Tyler remembered to have heard that
an apparition would remain as long as the
eyes were fixed on it. She looked steadily
at it without the least alarm. Now comes
the strangest part Of the story. The girl
lying by her side said, quietly ''Maria.
there is your mother" Then the form
melted away.
Some years afterward, after Gov. Tyler's
death, his daughter was at Greenway
again. She was then married, and was Wis
iting the first wife of her brother, Presi-
dent Tyler. He was absent in Washing
ton being in the senate. One night one of
Mrs. Tyler's children became ill, and her
sister-in-law went to the nursery to help
take care of it. She suggested that she
should get remedy from her own room,
and, taking a candle in her hand, started
for it. On her return, as she passed the
staircase, she saw her father standing be-
fore her. The same idea flashed into her
mind that she could hold the apparition by
her fixed gaze. She observed it carefully,
and recognized certain suit of brown
cloth which she had sometimes seen the
governor wear, and she was self-possessed
enough to look for a mole on his forehead,
which was birth mark. Mrs. Tyler, after
waiting some minutes, called to her to
hasten, whereupon the figure vanished.

JOURNALISM IN ARIZO MA.

A" Editor Forced TO Sell His Paper or
ThroU -Iscay His LiJe---The CO.cbov
Terror.
Mr.. John P. Clum, until recently editor
of the Tombstone, (Arizona) Epitaph has
given the Washington Post a highly inter-
esting account of his escape from the
scene of his journalistic labors, from
Which it would appear that, next to run
ming faro bank, editing paper in some
portions of the west is about as danger
Gus an undertaking us a man can we'll en-
gage in. Mr.. Clum was also mayor of
Tombstone, and, brought as the chief
to almost daily contact with the
the village population, he grew accustomed
to write his editorials in the sight of his
trusty Colts six-shooter. In attempting
to preserve order he made enemies of the
cowboys. This was the first step in a
long and protracted warfare, which lasted
OFF and on for six months. First. there
occurred drawn battle between Mr.. Clum's
chief OF police and three officers and four
cowboys. Tires Of the officers were badly
injured and three cowboys killed outright.
The fourth, who hap. ened not to be armed.
ran away and escaped. After this a
citizens committee was formed and
paraded the streets day and night,
armed with six-shooters, needle
guns and Henry rifles. Mr.. Clum assailed
the cowboys vigorously through the col
umns of the Epitaph, and, every time one
was brough before him as magistrate he
imposed heavy fine. Then the cowboys
lay in wait for Mr.. Clum, until he was
compelled to go heavily armed, and dared
not stay out after nightfall without being
attended by body -guard. Finally every
ordinary plan of the cowbows failing to rid
them of their enemy, they banded togeth-
er and camping a few miles from Tomb
stone, in deep and wild canon, signed a
deaths head agreement to kill Mr.. Clum
with pens dipped in blood taken from
convlcts arm, aad afterward
drank from cup of warm blood diluted
with pure spring water. This came to his
ears and he bought another six-shooter and
another Henry rifle, and never went out
into the street without being accompanied
by several members of his police force
The chief Of police was shot at and nearly
killed one night. Things were gettin: very
desperate indeed, and the Epitaph had

dissemination of knowledge, which shall
prove that the most healthful methods of
preparing food are the most economical
from every point Of view. In public
places, adjacent to bodies of water, we
paste up rules for resuscitaing the

give to every woman who delves blinaly

brief and simple tables of food values,
and some plain instructions for cooking
such foods as you designate as most
profitable for her. Suppose you tell her
that five cents worth of dried beans
contain rs much nourishment as fifty
cents worth of beef, and that the only
reason why she does not succeed in get
ting as much nourishment out of the
beans is because they are not presented
by nature in readily soluble form, as
the beef is, and that her mode of cooking
them with insufficient fluid and made
G;iate exposure to the Influences of
moisture ssand heat do not emulsify them
and prepare them for appropriation in
the body. You will do her noble SER
vice by explaining to her the inexpen-

crop-eorn, and of the almost complete
worthlessness of that food as ordinarily
prepared for the human stomach. Tell
her that in preparing for human use the
meal or the maize only boiling fluid is
adequate to its solution, and that the
sandy "corn-bread OF the household,
the hotel and the restaurant is not
simply useless-it is even pernicious as
food. Then tell her about boiling cats
and wheat in four times their volume Of
water for two hours, or allowing them to
simmer and macerate for alonger period.

Gov. Plaisted was candidate for the nomi-

warm personal friend of the General. Indeed
he was earnest in his advocacy of Plaisted,
that he somewhat impaired his popularity in

friend that he hoped the day would soon come
when he could reward him for his dev oton.
But things have changed since then. Gen.

the honor which accrues to the incumbent.

special despatch from Washington states
that the present pension district, consisting
OF Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont, is
to be divided, and Maine placed in a district
by itself, with headquarters at Augusta. Gen.
Seiden Conner will receive the appointment
as Pension Agent. -Four years ago Carl Schurz,
then Secretary of the Interior. against the pro-
test OF the entire Maine delegation. con.
solidated the three pension districts of
Maine, the district of New Hampshire
and the district Of Vermont, and made
Concord, n. H., the centre Of the consolida-
ted district. 1t was regarded as an Injustice
to the Maine soldiers to compel them to send
their papers to Concord for the payment Of
their pensions, and the act Of re-
storing pension agency in Maine
is but simple act of justice. In the con-
solidated district there were 10000 pension
ers, 1000 Of them being residents of Maine.
This division was strongly urged by the
Maine delegation and Mr.. Blaine, and was
approved BY Commissioners of Pensions, the
Secretary of the Interior and President Ar
thur. This change will not add to the ex-
pense, as the pension agents are paid BY
fees, and it will simply divide the fees now
received by the Agent at Concord between
him and Gen. Connor
