Strength,
A dispatch from Seymour, Ind, says
VIM. Hood, colored, was buried a
| Grams graveyard, few miles west o
this city, the other day. Bill Heod wa
few years since. n man of remarkable
strength physical giant. He Oncr
resided In q cabin near this Gig. ans
worked as an OK dciver. Tie would lin
bodily one end of n saw log that wa
sixteen feet iu length ard two feet in
diameter, and load it upca his wagon
He would handle dozen ortlinarr men
a. iftLey were plsythings, and your
correspondent Is informed tiat on one
occasion an infuriatctbOx attempted to
gore him. when he grabbed the animal
by the horns and held it until yoke
was put upon Its neck. He was q mer-
ciless man, and would sometimes knock
an OK dowa NJ one blow with his tist.
About thirty years ago he lived in
Madison, " here hs got on spree, rails
ed racket and "cleaned' out" all the
pugilists in the place, but was himself
hurt and left in quarry for dead, with
great stones. piled upon his body. He
rallied, raised the rocks, and resumed
work iu few days. When an attem pit
was made to arrest him he sssaileI the
officers, who soon retreatsd, glad to get
out of the reach OF the ehumauthrashing z
machine,
IL is said that on one occasion Ave
men with hlndspikes, were trying to
up-end rock ;, when he laughinglv ap.

rock until a wagon WAS backed against
il, when heshoved 1t into position for
hauling, while the crowd stood by in
amazement.
In the days when there was "no bot.
tom" to the roads leading from Madison
Hood was one the several teaInsteps en-
gagged to move saw-mill from that
place to Jennings County. He was in
the rear, and heavily loaded with an
iron shaft. Those who had gone before
double :eamed up hill, and tolk their
teams back to help pull Hoods load up.
They were almost paralized at meeting
him half way up the hill walking by
his team with the shaft upon his shoul-
der, which he carried to the top of the
hill and replaced upon the wagon.
Arriving ut the destination Il crowd
congregatod, when Hoods feat was
told. A muscular man present said he
could lit as much as Hood. he tried
to lift the shaft, failed, and swore Hood
did not carry it rs stated, and that no
living man could do so, whereupop, with
apparent ease, the dusky man should
cred the shaft carried it to the building
aud placed it in position. The other
strong man shook hands, congratulated
the giant and sabsided.
Citizens of Seymour and Madison
will vouch for many other miraculous
feats of Bill Hood. But enough has
been related to show how great was his
strength. He was six feet high, and
about 200 pounds when in his
prime. For several years previous to
mis- death he was broken in health, a
wreuk Of his former self. and an abjyct
Of charity. He died in misery and OBJ
ect poverty, having endured great pri-
rations at the age of 70 years.

acquired by extortion and terrorism. At
this point Of the discussion an extraordi-
nary and unexpected incident occurred
M. Andrieux, ex.prefect Of police, rose to
make statement, of conversion from
anti-clerical to more tolerant views. The
announcement was the more calculated TO
astonish the chamber as NJ. Andrieux it
was on whom, as chief of the Paris police,
devolved the task of driving the religious
orders from their establishments in execu-
ton of the March DEGREES. In straightfor.
ward outspoken terms, and in defiance of a
storm of interruptions from his old allies,
NJ. Andrieux declared that if union among
republicans was possible it would not be
effected on questions which ''divide repub-
licans the most" No union of ideas could
be brought about so long as the convictions
of a largo class of the population were
ignored. whatever progress anti-rclig-
ious ideas may have made during the past
four years it is undeniable that the country,
taken as whole. is strongly attached to
religion. In answer to an outburst of
protestation against this candid avowal,
NJ. Andrieux declared that if his convic-
tions had undergone some change. it was
not given to him to be born with the
experience and knowledge which age
alone can acquire. Social life was not
made for men alone, but also for women
and the speaker was convinced that the
women of France were finely devoted to
religious ideas.

PARIS, Nov. 20, 80.
A very interesting debate to1E place in
the chamber of deputies yesterday, on the
public worship estimates, which were rs
usual made. the objec. OF Il lie ermined
attack by the advocates of the separation
of church ana state. NJ, jules Roche
delivered lengthy an powerful speech
against tho adoption OF the estimates.
He did not, indeed. pro .)osa to abolish the
church subsidies altogether, but to reduce
them, He pointed ont that the first
estimates, voted eighty years ago, amount
ed to only 100000 francs, from which
time they had gradually swelcd up to u
total of fifty-thrce millions. OF this sum
only six millions were really due to tho
church in virtue of the concor Int. In
addition to the subsidies, however, which
formed only an insignificant portion of
the revenues of the church. there were
other sources of income, amounting to no
less than four hundred millions, derived

occupied" by the clericals. Monseigneur
Frcppel. in reply, entered into long
explanation tending to prove that the
obligations of thu church towards the
state dated in fact from the condscation of
clerical property by the government OF
the revolution. The common objection
to church subsidies on the grouni that

the dreadful sins of the republicans and
tries to make such political capital as he
can, but that is all well enough as long as
he faces the main body of music, which
will be howl of horro- from the workers
of his own side.
II may be said that the main object of
the reform is to better the public service.
To get rid Of political assessments on
public servants is very praiseworthy bat
distinct matter, and with that evil ought
to go down several others connected with
elections We hope Mr.. Beck will get
an investigation ordered by which the
political assessment business will be killed,
and that at the same time the present
plan of campaigning in presidential cleo
tons by both the great parties will be
overhauled. As Mr.. Edmuuds says, the
democratic pot is calling the republican
kettle black, and the latter may be brown
in some places, And whether either pot
or kettle is brown or one or both black,
both had better be secured up.
