One Arm and One Leg.

One of the most remarkable men in
Camden is one Legged and one-armed
colored man named James Weeks,
residing at Ferry road and Harley
street, in the Eight ward. He is
strong, healthy man of about forty
years of age, and evidently enjoys Ii e
as much as his more fortunate and
physically supplied brethren The
strange part of the thing is that, al
though both his left leg and left arm are
gone entirely-they having been taken
out at the sockets-he is able to drive
cart, loading the vehicle, as quickly
and as well as they who have all their
limbs, with sand or brick, and doing
fully as much work as any cart-driver in
the city. Some time ago he was a
lamp-lighter, performing the work in a
manner satisfactory to his employees
So well has he piled his business o cart
driver that he has accumulated quite a
property, 10th in horses and carts and
in real estate. .-..i f.# 4r44 .Yt
He was met yesterday afternoon by
Post reporter, sitting on the side of his
cart. whistling as gaily and apparently
as happy as any man in Camden.
When asked how he came to lose his
limos, he showed his worries as broad,
grin spread over his rather generous
mouth, and said: "De war looked 'em
off. You see, boss, | was shot down at
Port Hudson. laid dere for hour AFTER
hour, and finkedI, Jim, you're cooked
mig, shuah, ease 1 only had piece of
my lel' arm and none of the lef' leg
WORT mentionin'. Putty soon, when dc
scrimmage was all 'oter dc men come
along for to pick up de wounded. and !
seed Doctah Gross, a son of de old Pro-
lessor at de jefferson Coll re. tink he
was. He jus looked at me an den
passed on. Hold on, surgeon,' saws
|, cant you ford to help a fellahp
Don't gone for TO leab him heah when
he can't walkP why said de doc
tab, you're dead! Dere amt no use

was bettern two dead men. and he
'cided to see what could be done.
When 1 came out of dat hospital | was
ius' like you see is now. Dey took bofe
limbs out f om de body at dc sockets"
He draws pension of eighteen dol
lars month from the Government, and
says he has no trouble making living
and little extra by driving cart.
Twice each year since the close of the
war, "Jim" goes to Philadelphia to
see Prof. Gross, who exhibits him to the
students at the jefferson Medical Col
lege as "Old Ironsides." That world
renowned surgeon says it is one of the
most remarkable cases that have ever
come to his knowledge. and he does not
believe there is one man in a million
who could have gone through what he
has and still live. Over one-third of
his body was taken from him, and the
whole course of the circulation. of the
blood changed. Jim gets around
with ease on one crutch and the remain
ing leg, it matterng cry little whether
he uses it under his right arm or leaning
aga INST his left side, where the arm
socket only now is.-Cdnaden ca. ~

The Fox and the Hare.

A Fox who was gamboling about had
the ill-luck to fall over a cliff, and as he
lay on the ground, unable to rise and
suffering great pain, along came Hare.

"the tables are turned. lam your bitter
enemy, and have often pursued you with
intent to murder, but now am helpless
and you can take your revenge"
''Do you expect me to kill you?"
Naturally l do, and l ask the favor
that you kill me with a club instead Of
slowly torturing me to death by singing:
Only a Pansy Blossom, 5I....
But the Hare determined to heap Goals
of fire on his head and prove her own
forgiving spirit, She therefore brought
him water and food and nursed him
until he was quite able to take care of
himself. The very next day after they
separated the Hare was crossing field
when she found herself pursued by a
Fox. After Running long distance she
was overtaken, and as she was knocked
over she recognized in her assailant the
very Fox whose life she had saved.

An Adventurous Voyage.

The Honolulu Saturday Press Of Oct
ober Goth prints story to the effect
that several Honolulu men, moved by
a spirit Of adventure, about a year ago
purchased for $1,000 the sn-.ll brig
Niaito, with the intention of barter
ing with the savages Of the southeast
c1ast Of Africa and also of hunting for
gold there. Just then a Swedish sail
or named PermIen appeared and per-
suaded them to go to Siberia 20 CON-
bine old-hunting with salmon fishing,
and he was placed at the head OF the
expedition. March 21st last the
Ninito, laden with salt for salmon,
-four to trade with. mining tools and
fishing tackle, sailed with full crew
and eight stockholders of the east
Siberia Fishing and Mining Company
on board. But the captain and mate
forced the passengers 10 work, and
the captain and one Nelson conspirci
10 run for the neares: land, 10 land
the passengers, then 20 sci. the vessel
at the next port. then to pocket
the proceeds and abscond. Forty
days out the brig sailed into the port
of Hakodati, Island of JESSE. Nelson
here tried to rob a passenger named
Mason, and Mason, seeing chance
for the passenger party to gain the as
cendancy, tried to kill Nelson, but
failed. So the discordant ships COM
pany again sailed out together. At
VIadivostOck, Siberia, where mining
operations were to have been begun,
il was found that no mining cOnld be
done without the permission of the
Russian government. Mason told an
Englishman then, about Permien's
share in the venture, and Permien
handed Mason over To a Russian Off
Ger on a charge of attempting to muir
der. bnt he was not held. Mason sold
on. to Permien, worked his way 10
San Francisco, where he arrived with
only three dollars in his PACKET. AZ

One of the crew is said to be in Sacra-
mento, he having deserted while in
Siberia.

An Eastern paper has made an
unwarranted attack upon Captain
Rogers, master Of the new iron ship,
Tile Z. StGr5ucE, which met with
misfortune on the way out from Chcs-
ter 10 the Columbia. Captain Rogers
has always sustained the highest rec
ord as shipmastcr, his owners have
perfect confidence In his ability, and
contemplate building another iron
ship which viii be constructed under
his personal supervision, and on com
pletion vail be commanded by him.
The owners of the .StdrbUcE are prob
ably the best Judges Of Captain Rog-
ers' ability, and they certainly have
not lost confidence i'm him. The pa
per referred to has a reputation for
accurate knowledge of maritime af-
fairs, but its Judgment in this case is
at fault. The StdTGgck was the FIRST
iron sailing ship built at the yard
from which she was launched, and it
was subsequently found her standing
rigging was weak, she was improperly
loaded, and there were other defects
tha: will fully explain her misfortnnes
without attributing any blame Ia her
able commander.

ONE YEAR AGO.
The British Ship Amana Libsled.

ESPECIAL TO The AszoRIAN.l
PoRTLAND, On, Nov. 6th.-The
Portland tug company began suit to-
day IN the L. S. Court In this city,
against the firm Of Smith & Service
Of Liverpool, for salvage On the ship
Nebo which was rescued one year ago
to-day by the tug Pioneer, while in
distress. (The British ship Nebo was
toued across the bar on the afternoon
o. Nov. 4Jh, 1882. The next day a
southwest gale dismasted her. On the
9Th, Captain Pease heard Of her con
dition and heading for Shoalwater bay
he found her and making fast
hawser towed her off shore.
Capt. Milne asked to have the Pioneer
tow him to San Francisco, but the
salvage Of q ship and cargo worth
$50, 900 was hardly worth boihering
about, so came back again towing in
the Zcmoro ana letting the Nebo shift
for herself. Pilot Doig meanwhile got
theiPioneer down the coast in search
for the vessel, going as far as San
Francisco and returning from ala un-
successful search on the evening of
Nov. 18th 1922
The vessel got her spare spars up
and finally made her home port in
safety. The 4mana is now in port
and owned by the same Grm, and the
libellants ask that that vessel be IL
beled for such salvage as the court
may deem just. The complainants
value the ship at $4,000, aud the
cargo at SIS, 900 more.
