A LEG ON a TEAR.
How Maine Mans Artificial Limb Acted
Unseemly and Caused Its Wearer Much
Annoyance.

Major Todd OF Bangor, Maine,
lost his right leg at the battle of
Fredericksburg, and some time ago
he purchased an artificial leg from a
man in Washington. It contained
a system of springs which enabled
the Major to use it in such a natu-
raj manner that when he was walk
ing along the street nobody would
for a moment suppose that he had
not both of his own legs.
On Sunday, while the Major was
on his way to church, he slipped
up on the ice and gave the store
leg a severe wrench. He must
have dislocated some of the springs,
for after reaching the church and
taking his seat, and while the
clergyman was reading the Scrip
lures, the leg suddenly few up and
rested on the back of the seat in
front Of him. The congregation
looked at him with amazement, and
he grew very red in the face. AS
soon as he took it down it jumped
up sgain and wriggled about on
the back of the pew, finally kicking
Mrs. Thompson's bonnet to rags.
The Major suppressed it again and
held it down, but it instantly began
a convulsive movement in his own
pew, during which it upset the
stools, plunged around the hymn
books and hats, and hammered the
board beneath the seat until it
made such a racket that the minis.
ter had to stop. The eexton came
rushing in to find out what was the
matter, and the Major, after ex-
planning the difficulty in whisper,
asked the sexton to let him lean on
him while he charged on the front
door. AS soon as the Major got
into the aisle that dislocated leg
kicked the sexton sixteen or seven
teen times in most insolent man
ner, varying the exercises by max
ing eccentric swoops off to one side,
during which it kicked eight of the
high hats at the pew doors into
black silk chaos.
By the time the Major reached the
vestibule the leg had become per-
fectly reckless. 1t flew up before
and it few up behind. It butted
against the good leg, and darted
out sidewise, and described circles,
and tried to insert its toes in the
Majors coat tail pockets, and to
whack him on the nose. When the
sexton came with the hack and put
the MAJOR in it the leg banged
through the window glass, and when
the driver got down to see about
it the leg brandished itself in his
face and concluded the exercise by
planting a terrible blow in his
stomach. Then the Major told the
driver that he would give him $40
to take the leg off, and the driver
accepted the offer. For several min
utes it eluded all his efforts to catch
it as it danced about, but finally he
got hold Of it and hung on while
the Major tried to unbuckle the
straps. Then it came of and rolled
the driver to the mud. He got up
to watch it. It writhed and kicked
and jumped and throbbed and hop.
ped and whenever it would make a
dash to one side or the other the
crowd would scatter in order to give
it full play. Finally Ben Woolley
set his uog on it and most ex.
citing contest ensued, the leg two
or three times running off with the

Shaw, senior partner, presented state

the firms embsrrRssmeno. When the
Pacific bank failed 10 1881, several of
their large customers came to them and
asked for help. This was given and
nothing was asked in return. Meantime
the volume of papers which had been
used to raise money for them, had be-
come large and they found it affected
their siDglo-1smed papers. Finally, as q
mere temporary emergency as they sup
posed at the time, they were obliged to
ask them for their papers for their own
u;e. The reault has been that they have
had to rely upon double name paper to
raise money. This paper aroused euspi-
cion which continued until they saw
clearly that if those other houses could
not take care of themselves their house
could no longer carry the burden. A
statement of the firms liabilities and
sssets was then presented by the assignee,
E. A. WymRn, as follows: Liabilities,
