Some of Tom Thumbs characteristics.

To a Hartford (Conn.) newspaper re-
porter gentleman who had acted as
manager for General Tom Thumb gave
the other day some interesting informa-
ton about that little man, OF whom he
said: "Although he met a great num-
Der of people, he never could say any
thing to them. He would simply answer
| their questions and then stop. Once in
a while he would see something n
| speak of it to me or some other OF his
close friends, bat never to a stranger?"
"Was he a great reader?"
t'Tom Thumb never read book, news
paper, or aught else. During all the
| time [ was with him l never saw him
reading. He neve took the least inter
est in the news or the romantic as it is
found in novels"
"What did he do with himself during
the little leisure he had?"
"sWell, he never had very much lies
ure; he used to occupy it in playing bill
lizards or in smoking. He dearly loved
a horse, and over diamonds he went
wild. The fancy may have partaken
Of a boyish freak; although men of rare
intellect can not help but admire the
exquisite color of an old-mine gem. He
| at one time owned q great many dia-
monds and horses. It has been asserted
in the newspapers and out of them that
| the General drank to excess Now, l
| will say this in his behalf: So long az I
was with him I never saw him under
the influence of liquor. He smoked
several strong cigars a day, but he never
was an incorporate drinker."

that happyP"
sit was truly a happy life. The dwarf
couple had more pleasant coniugal re-
lations than the average of grown-up
people. She knew how to handle him;
she had tact, and everything went
smoothly, and yet 1 do not quite UNDER
stand why she is now in Cincinnati"
"Was he rich at the time Of his
death?"
II suppose he must have been, al
though l have no means of knowing
now," said the ex-manager of the
dwarf. "He made q great deal of money,
and also spent a great deal, but he
ought to have saved a goodly sum. He
certainly made Barnum rich. [ have
always supposed the great Snowman
got the lions share of the profits. The
General broke with him because he sus-
pected he could make more none" by
managing his own tours. The dwarf
also made his w parents rich. They
were poor and shiftless until Barnum
discovered their prodigy of a son, and
with all his wonderful tact displayed
him to an admiring world. They had
a certain percentage of the earnings
until the source of the income was Of
age, and at one time worth $500. 900.
Unlucky investments and a circus
dwindled the pile until there was little
left. The General himself began to
gather in the coin after he had attained
his majority. In England, although il
may seem fabulous, he often received
E10O week."

"A touching incident occur

"A touching incident occurred on a
Georgia railroad the other day. A lady
noticed on the seat before her a woman,
whose refined appearance led her to en-
gage in conversation with the stranger.
Noticing the latter's beautiful babe She
expressed admiration. "Yes,n said
she, with a sigh, beautiful, but blind"
Then, pointing to the two other chill
dren by her side, she added: "That is
not all-these, too, are blind" The
sad announcement brought tears to the
eyes of the listeners. The mothers sor-
rowtul lot and the children's sad future
awakened the deepest sympathy.-Ml

Ninety sacks On gravel, three men
and a bucket of boiling pitch dropped
simultaneously throu Oh a roof in Atlanta
the other day a distance of FORTY feet.
None of the men were fatally injured.
but all of them sustained painful
bruises, and were more or less burned
by the pitch.

Hon. Rufus Prince, President Of the
Name State Agricultural Society, writes
the Maine Farmer: IL am no horse doctor,
but will give you very simple but eff
lective cure for scratches given me by one
that had had the care of horses for a long
time, and which has never failed with me.
1t is this: Wind wooden rag around the
horses ankle and tasen it on and let it be
until it wears off. No matter If you drive
your horse in the mud, do not take off the
rag, and before you think of it the scratch
cs will be cured"
