against De Kinderen, Devadder's old
clerk, but failing by means of anony-

A woodward avenue street car driver
yesterday hitched the lines to the brake
and entered the car and said to a man
who was deeply interested in a news
paper:
"Excuse me, but you haven't paid
your fare"
:'Oh-ah-Isee," stammered the man,
as he hunted for some change; and after
he had paid he went out to the driver
and said:

of holding me up to ridicule. Why

SAVED.

The wind is spent and the gale is past,
And the morning sun shines forth at last;
1t shines on q strip of yellow sand,
And q good ship sinking in sight of land.
Over her deck and her battered side
Lazily washes the ebbing tide;
Out of the struggle and deadly strife
Lo! nothing saved but a baby life.
A wee frail thing is the one poor waif,
A wee frail thing to be sound and safe;
But all forgotten its brief alarms,
IL gayly crows in the stranger arms.
A sailor looks at the little form
""Ti q tiny craft to have stemmed the
'stoiz1!'
He signs a bit as he bends him low,
And his thoughts fly back to the long ago.
Just such a babe on his young wife's breast
With clinging fingers his own caressed;
Just such another-but where is he?
Wrecked on the voyage of life, may be.
Is this but spared that in years to come
1t may drift away from its heavenly home?
The baby laughs as his boy once did;
All, will it be so? Nay, God forbid!
The sailors hand has a gentle touch
For the sake of the lad he loved so much:
And soft from his lips are the words that fall
God bless the children; God keep them all!'

A MAN WITH THREE LEGS.
a Bavarian Who Exhibits a Strange
Freak of Nature.

a Bavarian VIII Exhibits a Strange
Freak of Nature.
In a room in the Park House, Wednes-
day afternoon, a B~avarian, thirty-three
years of age, named George Lippert.
presented himself for examination and
inspection to a number of physicians
and surgeons. Mr.. Lippert is known
and accurately described as the '.three
legged man." He has two legs which
reach the ground and that is turned
up behind him, the latter originally
placed in that position by MI. Lippert
himself, who was sensitive about his
deformity and desired to conceal it. In
fact he does conceal it so well that its
presence can not be guessed as he walks
along the street. His left leg is per-
feet, except that it has six toes. Where
the right leg should be there are two
legs growing side by side and covered
by the same skin as far as the knee, or
very near that point. There are two
thigh bones, two ball and socket joints
and different sets of muscles, and the
motion of one leg is entirely independ-
emit of the other. Each of these legs,
which may be called the second and
third legs, has Il separate knee-joint,
and from the knee they are entirely
separate from each other. The second
leg below the knee has but one bone,
and this ends in a bony knob with three
toes attached to it. 1t is this leg that
he uses in walking, the termination be-
ing protected by a padded cup made to
fit it. The third leg has all the bone.
and muscles to be found in the leg of
any ordinary man, but at the foot is
twisted in a most extraordinary man.
ner. On this foot there are six toes,
which all move as Mr.. Lippert wills.
This leg, though not the one used in
walking, is, nevertheless, the proper
right leg. Until MI. Lippert was six
teen years of age he used all three legs
in walking, and each had its own indie
pendent motion, but he could not stand
the remarks his appearance drew forth
and the older he became the more SEN
sitive he grew, and finally he strapped
the outside leg up behind him in such a
way that it could not be remarked. He
naturally thought the outside leg was
the superfiuous one, when in reality the
extra one was in the center. Tightly
strapped up in the way described, the
muscles became rigid and contracted
in such a way that it is impossible now
to s~traighten this leg. Another singular
thing about this third leg is that the toe.
nails grow under the foot and not as in
a perfect foot. Mr.. Lippert has three
brothers and three sisters, all perfectly
| formed; his father and mother are in
no way remarkable, and there is nc
record in his family of the birth of twins
He is another living illustration of the
peculiar method in which nature some.
times works, and no theory yet adj
vanced satisfactorily accounts for hi:
strange deformity. Finding his extra
| leg a serious inconvenience to him il
nearly all the walks of life, he finally
overcome his modesty and consented t.
exhibit himself. boston Herald.

Democratic Dues to Civil Service Reform.
WASHINGTON CITY, June 22.-Judge Tho
man, of the civil service commission, in
ia liking with some Democratic members of
congress who are not enthusiastic over civil
service reform, said to them that the civil
service regulations had been the means of
cutting down the Republican campaign
fund at least 100000 below the amount
which would otherwise have been
obtained from the government en-
ployes He thought it would be admitted
that in the close contest this amount would
have been sufficient to secare Blaine's elec-
tion. He did not think that under the cir
cumstances Democrats had any cause to
complain of the workings of civil service
reform. He also assured the discontented
members that so far from there being any
prospect of retrogression in the matter oi
civil service reform, public sentiment would
enforce an enlargement of the area Of oper
