GEN. JACKSON'S FIGURE.

In reconstructing the Constitution,
Commodore J. D. Elliott, under whose
supervision the restoration was made,
being an ardent admirer of President
Jackson, submitted for the original fig
ure-head an admirable full-length efigy
OF the old hero, very simple matter
undoubtedly, but creating, perhaps,
one of the most intense, bitter political
excitements ever experienced in this
country, especially in the vicinity of
Boston, one party glorying in their
stubborn old constituents act, and the
other regarding as a national disgrace
the Dissertation of their idolized ship
with the hated image of their country's
abominated chief. Nevertheless,
against all opposition, "Old Hickory, in
all his glory, continued to ornament the
frigate's bow until one night some
what ludicrous turn was given to the
matter by the mutilation of the figure,
but which only served to increase the
heat of the wrathy antagonists. During
the night in question, while a storm of
wind and rain of unusual violence was
raging, Capt. Dewey, of the merchant
marine, procured small boat, and, at
the imminent risk of being swamped,
finally succeeded in reaching the frig-
ate's bow (she being moored be ween
the razee Independence and the Colum-
bus, seventy-four), and, notwithstand-
ing the presence of sentries stationed
on the forecastle of these three vessels,
successfully sawed the head off, and,
undetected, returned to his room in
Boston, where, locking his prize in a
chest, it remained undiscovered many
years, while the people vainly puzzled
over the mystery, which remained un-
solved for more than decade and q

Diphtheria has broken out at Ham,
line University. First the wife of
Professor Ennis was attacked and af-
terward the Professor himself. No
measures have been taken to prevent
the spread of the disease. Pupils
boarding or rooming in the house with
the afflicted family continue to attend
school and there is danger Of a general
outbreak of the dread disease. IF the
interruption of the work of the school
is considered greater calamity than
the endangering of human life, or if
there is not sufficient intelligence in
the faculty of the school to know the
fearful results to be expected from the
presence of those in the University
who are infected with the contagio.l
of Diphtheria, out side authority

CASHMERE SHAWLS.
Every one knows that the Cashmere
shawls which figure SO frequently as
wedding presents from the Queen are
part of the annual tribute paid by the
Maharaiah of Cashmere as an ac-
knowledgement of the sezerainty of the
Empress of India ; but every one does
not know in what dens Of squalid mis-
cry and by what physically debilitated
race these shawls are produced. The
agriculturists and boatmen of the de-
icious valley are physically fine race
the men robust, the women fair to look
upon. But in every shawl-producing
village the physique of the wretched
workers is painful to observe. Long
hours of work, in crowded and ll-ven-
tllated rooms, with poor, nay wretched,
pay, have made the shawl. workers of
Cashmere mere shadows of men. It is
absolutely painful to see their pallid
faces and weak, ill-nourished forms and
although the Government of India has
moved somewhat to better their condi-
tion, it is one of the few sad sights in
the Kashmiribenazir," or the unrivaled
Cashmere of the Persian poets. Trade.

4 PIG-B0Y.

On the strength of the legend that
children, reared by wolves, grow up to
be ferocious, half human, half-wild ami
mails, the New York Times cites case
to prove that there are "caf-boys,"
reared by COWS there certainly are
"cow-boys"-"bear-children," reared by
bears, one of them being very popular
among the Chicago young women be-
cause Of his hugging abilities-and .
"pig-boy" in Ohio. Thirty years ago
pig belonging to one of the herds of
wild pigs which at that time infested
the State of Ohio carried off an infant
son of a leading citizen. The pig, hold
ing the child in her mouth, and leaping
over rail-fences, and rushing through
swamps and forests, was hotly pursued,
but finally escaped with her prey. Ten
years later the missing infant was found.
He had become complete pig, except
in few unimportant details, He went
upon all fours, wallowed in mud, ate
nothing but swill and acorns, and root
ed with his nose and chin. Although
washed, clothed and taught English, he
never lost the piggish instincts Of his
youth. The first time he entered .
railway car he turned over a seat, and,
with the help Of his feet and small
paper parcel, contrived to monopolize
four seats, although half dozen ladies
were standing in the aisle. Whenever
he entered q public conveyance Of any
kind he always ate peanuts and scat-
tered the shells around him, and when
attending concert or lecture he trod
on his neighbor's feet, and chewed to-
bacco with the usual results. After
reaching his majority he, like other
Ohio citizens, was sent to Europe as q
Consul, where he never lost an oppor-
tunity of illustrating the greatness of
the republic by exhibiting his contempt
for everything foreign"

Importance Of Physical Endurance.

Prof. Huxley says to the boys: "a
somewhat varied experience of men
has led me, the longer live, to set
the less value on mere cleverness; to
attach more and more Importance to
industry and physical endurance. In
deed, / am much disposed to think
that endurance is the most valuable
quality of all; for industry as the de-
sire to work hard, does not come to
much if a feeble frame is unable to re-
spond to the desire. No life is wasted
unless it ends in sloth, dishonesty or
cowardice. No success is won but by
honest industry and brave breasting
of the waves of fortune"

GROUND AIR.

"Ground air" or the air in the soil,
has considerable influence on health.
DR.. Pettenkofer believes that the po-
rosity of the ground on which we live is
SO great that "heavy, towering buildings
often stand on soil which is filed to
the extent Of third of it's volume with
air. This air contains more carbonic
acid than that of our atmosphere, as
well as deleterious exhalations." When
house is heated to any extent it be-
comes draught-fue, and draws such
air out from the ground as if it were q
cupping- glass. .-Progress.

LYING CURIOSITIES.

Bearded ladies as a rule are ILL.,
natured and demand the attention of Q
veritable Queen. Giants are of an ex-
tremely jealous temperament, and If
you want to set one Of them up in arms
mention an opposition giant to him, and
then his temper is up. The rule, how
ever, applies to dwarfs, except that
each particular dwarf or midget inn
agines, and would have you believe, he
is the smallest creature alive. Those
who are known as freaks of nature, or
that are bereft of some limb, or gifted
with more than ordinary mortals, may
be set down as exceptionally cranky,
and must be handled as tenderly as
eggs.-IateruieU in the Pittsburgh

BENEFITS FROM ARTESIAN WELLS

From being the dryest and one Of
the unhealthiest towns in Southwest
Georgia, Albany has become perhaps
the st-watered town in the State, and,
while the country round about is as full
of sickness as ever, it has had very lit
tie, indeed, of the customary sickness.
All this has been brought about simply
by boring two artesian wells. Over 500
feet of boring was done at an expense
of less than 81 500, and supply of alb
solutely pure water fully sufficient to
more than supply the wants of the city
of 8, 500 people is the result. Albany's
example is being followed by several
towns, and with the facts before them
thers is no reason why scores of South
Georgia towns which are now regarded
as unhealthy ON account of their water
should not become as healthy as the
average.-Atla1ta Constitution.

ANCIENT HUMAN FOOTPRINTS.

At meeting of the California Acade.
my Of Sciences, DIR. 81. W. Hardness
read an unusually interesting
paper on the footprints of PHO.
Gene man found in the sand.
stone of the Carson, (Nevada,) pris.
on quarry. The site of the Carson
prison is 2,670 feet above the level OF
Carson desert. It is on a hill sixty feet
high formed of sandstone, everything
shale, and had its origin in detritus
brought by wind and water from the
Sierras. About three-quarters of an
acre of sandstone had been quarried to
a depth varying from fifteen to thirty
two feet, showing the hill to be COM
posed of sandstone, alternating with
layers of clay or shale. The floor left,
when the ledge is worked, is now
bounded on the east by cliffs seven to
fifteen feet high and 246 long. On the
south, the cliffs are twelve to thirty feet
high and 26S feet long, while on the
western side it rises from thirty to thir-
ty-two feet and extends 200 feet. The
floor of the quarry bears evidence Of
having been titled at period subse-
quent to the deposition of its strata. It
also gives indications of having been
the shore of an ancient lake. Here, un-
der the sandstone, in the shale floor, are
imprinted the footsteps of variety OF
animals and birds, and many tracks of
the sandaled foot Of man, showing
rights and lefts, alongside of those of
the mammoth, in a Pliocene formation.
The tracks were originally made in mud,
so soft that ridge was pressed up and
formed around each footprint to a
height of five inches in some cases.
These footprints were perhaps filed
with water, and sand undoubtedly blew
in and filed them over. Thus a min
iature sand dune was formed, to pro.
tect the tracks, until all became imbed-
ded in deep layers of sand drifting from
a northwest direction, indicating the
prevalence of southeast winds in those
prehistoric times. These tracks were
discussed by Dr.. Harkness at length
and each variety of footprint was fully
described as to size, dimensions, rela-
tive position and form. Many hundred
footprints were examined, varying in
size, form and length Of step, the stride
being generally two feet three inches.

A Commen Phenemensn That Has
Greatly Excited An italian Com


A Commen Phenomensn That Has
Greatly Excited An italian Com
munisy.
AMSTERDAM, n. Y, July 15.-A reporter
to-day visited the Italian settlement in the
town of Rotterdam, near Schenectady,
where Mr.. and Mrs. Francesca Curticello,
parents of the child born with teeth, have
taken the prodigy to consult clairvoyant.
The father and mother are very frugal
people, and by hard work and great self
denial they have saved little money, with
which they intended soon to return to
Italy. The mother is about twenty-five
years Of age, dark, Southern beauty. She
has previously had one child, a pretty girl.
The couple have been married four years
and came from near Naples.
The Prodigy
is a son and weighs fifteen pounds. He is
perfectly formed and developed and very
nice-looking child. / saw his teeth and
there is an entire upper set. One pecul-
iarity is that he has on each side OF his
Jaw an extra double tooth, and another,
that the wisdom teeth are piercing his
gums already. The incisors are unusually
large.
The unusual size OF the child with the
strange fact in relation TO the teeth, has
filled the superstitious minds OF the parents
with evil forebodings, which were not dis
PEELED by a consultation with the clairvoy.
ant. He has assured them that the boy
will grow up and spend their savings,
which they had hoped would quite "set
them up" in the world in Italy.
Their fellOw-laborers consider the phe-
nomenon an excellent joke, and although
they view the youth with certain amount
of awe poke much fun at its parents, who
consider their mirth unseemly.
Arrangements will probably soon be
made allowing Snowman to exhibit the
prodigy for the remainder of the season, a
large price having been offered for the
privilege
