Ansouia has lost her tallest man
Nathan L. Johnson-who died on Sum
day last. He was six feet eight inches
high, so tall that a casket could not be
found in Bridgeport or New York long
enough to bury the body in, and a new
one had to be made. One undertaken iE
bridgeport had a coffin six feet four
inches long, that he had made in antici-
patton of q demand for some possible
special occasion-not for any person in
particular, but he thought a man tall
enough might die some time. and as his
neighb6rs might not have a suitable
casket, he could in this way find a market
for his coffin. Hartford ConrGnt.

Redeemed from Death.

This story is authentic. It is found
in the memories of a Prussian officer OF
distinction, who gives q simple, unat-
fected narrative of the scene and events
through which he passed. and who be-
trays nowhere the least disposition to
ekaggerate. The following remarkable
incident he gives as it came under his
own observation. He was at the time
ON the staff of General Winterfields one
of the most skill ed and competent Cap
tains of the day, and Winterfeld was
the General in command at the time
spoken of. Two soldiers had been con-
demned to death. In a drunken eondi-
tion at nignt they had assaulted an
officer of the line, and zone of them had
drawn a knife upon him, but which one
could not be told, The officer had seen
the knife, but he could not positively
say which of the twain held it ~ And
the men themselves did not know.
Ne ther of them remembered anything
about it. So both of them were con-
demned to be shot They were excel
lent sold ers,z and only one had been
guilty of using = weapon. The officers
Of the division, including him who had
been assaulted, asked, that they might
be pardoned. At length Winterfield said
he would pardon one of them. Only
one had held a knife, and only that
one ought to--die-H He would
pardon one, and the men must
themselves decide which of them
should be shot How should the
decision be made? Let rs SHAKE the
ldice," said one of the condemned And
the other agreed to it, And anon it was
agreed to by all interested. The two
men took their places by the side of
big drum. and were to throw the dice
upon its head. Two dices were given
them and a proper boxfor shaking. The
first man threw two skies. He groaned
in agony. He felt that he had consigned
his comrade to death. But when the
second came to throw he also threw two
skies. sWonderfulp cred lockers on.

throw, the dice presented the same two
aces. And now the beholders were

throw was ordered and Peter threw q
five and a deuce The other threw five

more. The first threw two fours. "Ohl

this point the Colonel ordered them to

velous result to Winterfield. Said he:

instead of being tried in the ordinary
way before the lay Judges of the land.
In ancient times few persons. except
those in holy orders, could read, and ac-
cordingly the test for an accused per-
son claiming benefit of clergy was his
ability to read. IF he could not, the
courts would not part with the defend
ant. but proceed to try him as if he were
a layman. Afterward, when education
became more general, other persons be-
sides clergymen were able to read;

were not allowed their clergy until the

is stated that when an accused person
claimed his clergy, it was usual to test
his learning by requesting him to read
the first verse of the fifty-ffst Psalm,
which in Latin begins with the words,

the extraordinary character of this pro-
ceeding, in whic ch touch of grim humor
seems perceptible, itA absurdity is ap-
parent, for, of course, men MIGHT easily
have coached themselves up in the re-
quired test. The ecclesiastical Judge,
who was generally the Bishop, might,
however. have given the defendant any
thing else to read; and in either case. in
the event of his inability to comply,
might have handed h m over to the law,

Candidates for 1884.

The New York Sun, unquestionably
the ablest manufacturer of Presidential
tickets now in the field, takes a new
turn at the business from observations
made since the adjournment of Cop
gress. On the Republican side, in the
first place it counts out General Grant,
Mr.. Conkling and Mr.. Blaine, and then
it disposes OF John Sherman and Mr..
Window in the same unceremonious
manner. Possibly its opinion of the
availability of the last-named gentle
man would be different if he had not
failed of a reelection to the Senate.
The only Republican of the earlier peri
cd who impresses the sam as of any
magnitude at present is Senator Ed
munds, and he is cast aside as unavail-
able for the reason that he comes from
a small Republican State whose vote,
not very important anyway, is sure for
the party, let the candidate be who he
may. The nomination of Mr.. Edmunds,
it thinks, would add nothing to the
strength of the Republicans " in the
great Middle States, where they must
get votes or perish"
Among men classed as of the +" second
order" are Harrison, Allison, Hawley,
Logan, Dawes, Don Cameron and In
gals. From this list the names of Lo-
gan, Dawes and Cameron might safely
be eliminated They are not reckoned
of Presidential stature where they al
known best. Ingalls,, however, the sam
thinks, possesses the talents out of
which an original and effective states
man might be made;" but unless his at
titude on the tariff question has been
Misunderstood, there are objections to
his candidacy more serious than the one
mentioned by the Sun, which is, that
"his slashing style of attack has made
him foes
Leaving the Republicans in the lurch
without any really satisfactory candi-
date, the Sun goes on to rejoice over
the plentiful supply of material which
looms up on the Democratic side. Mr..

nine new candidates into the mystical
order of the Gee Hing. The ceremony
began in the afternoon W th feast at
which generous supply of chicken,
rice and sharks fins was put where it
would do the most good, and q consid-
cradle quantity of American whisky
where it would do the most harm.
Philadelphia boasts several Chinese
singers o. the first rank, who enlivened
both the feast and the initiation exer-
cises with various selections from their
native repertory, which were received
with rapturous applause by the heathen
and set on edge the teeth of passing

Tilden, whose "match1ess intellectual

him the most eminent among living

Palmer, of Illinois, ''either of whom
would be likely to make respectable
President, and Palmer would be likely
to make brilliant one.'' 1t is true
that Palmer seems to be good deal of
man among Democrats, but the Re
publicans, when he belonged to their
party, used to reckon him in the cate.
CORY of second or third rate men. Mr..
Bayard, of Delaware, the Sun would
have thrown overheard for the same
reason as Edmunds, of Vermont, his
little State being sure for his party any
way and his nomination not being like

States. David Davis the Sun thinks

What Smalley Says.

Livingston, the young town at the head
of the Yellowstone valley, is making such
rapid progress that, although the oldest
buildings only date from last winter, it
has already begun to erect substantial
brick structures. Usually the period of
cheap ard hasty wooden architecture lasts
at least two or three years in new west
ern town. Livingston has outgrown it in
six months. The place was not. at the
start. an experiment, however. When the
Northern Pacific Company decided to
build extensive machine shops there, and
