IMAGINABLE & URBAN SAFES, 206
California Street, San Francisco, Cal:
Grntlcmen-In reply to your inquiry con-
ceruing the opening of the Burglar-Proof
Chest in the safe of the Office of the Clerk of
the Supreme Court-now so well known as
The Mccarthy Safe,
will say that took charge of the Office on
Wednesday, the 9th instant.
For some days previous, unsuccessful at
tempts had been made by various experts
to pick the lock. On Thursday, further
similar efforts were made with the same re-
suit by Mr.. Ensign and other noted experts,
ALL OF WHOM FINALLY DECLARED
THAT THE LOCK COULD NOT BE
PICKED, and that the safe must be opened
by force.
On Friday 1 employed the expert of one
of your competitors, who did faithful and
honest work, for that purpose.
On Saturday morning work was begun,
and this morning Wednesday,, FOUR
DAYS AFTER, the expert succeeded in
drilling through the door and opening the
safe.
consider it was an extraordinary severe
test, much beyond what a burglar could
possibly employ under any circumstances,
and can assure it has inspired me with the
highest confidence in the security of your
Burglar-Proof Safes, AND THAT YOUR
LOCKS ARE PICK-PROOF AGAINST
THE BEST EXPERTS.
After working for some hours on the lock,
one expert said that he had found that V
was one letter, and another that G was one.
On examination, neither of these letters ap-
peared in the combination. Yours, truly,
J. D. SPENCER,
Clerk of Supreme Court.

A member Of the Democratic Congress.
siond Committee has made careful er-
animation Of the political situation in the
doubtful States. and comes to the con-
clusion that there is a lighting chance for
Democratic Senate in 1857. He says
thu. Of the nine Democratic Senators
whose terms expire next year seven are
certain to be succeeded BY Democrats.
TIE seven sure States arc Delaware,

Tennessee and Texas. The two doubtful
obes are Nevada and West Virginia.
Assuming that West Virginia will elect
Democrat and Nevada Republican. the
Democrats will lose but one of their pres.

There will be sixteen Republican vacan-
cies. OF these eight--Maine, Massa.

The seven States in which tho fighting

A TaaEE-LEsGrD MAN.


Wednesday afternoon, a Bavarian, 81
years of age, named George Lippert, pre-.
sented himself for examination and in.
spection to a number of physicians and
surgeons. Mr.. Lippert is known and
actually described as the ''three.legged
man. He has two legs that reach the
ground and one that turns up behind
him. the latter originally placed in that
position by Mi. Lippert himself. who
was sensitive about his deformity and de.
sired to conceal it. 1t fact, he does con-
ceal it SO well that its presence cannot be
guessed as he walks along the street.
His left leg is perfect, 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 indie.
pendent OF the other. Each Of these legs,
which may be called the second and third
legs, has separate knee joint, and from
the knee are entirely separate from each
other. The second leg from below the
knee has but one bone, and this ends in
bony knob with three toes attached to it.
1t is this leg that he uses in walking. the
termination being protected by padded
cup made to fit it. The third leg has all
the bones and muscles tu be found in the
leg Of any ordinary man, but at the foot
is twisted in most extraordinary man
uer. On this foot there are six toes,
which will move as Mr.. Lippert wills.
This leg, though not the one used in
walking. is. nevertheless, the proper
right leg. Until Mr.. Lppert was sixteen
years of age he used all three legs 10
walking, and each had its own independ.
ent motion, but he could not stand the
remarks his appearance drew forth and
the older he became the more sensitive
he grew, and finally he strapped the out.
side leg up behind him in such way that
it could not be remarked. He naturally
thought the outside leg was the superau.
Gus one, when In reality the extra one
was the center. Tightly strapped up in
the way described, the muscles became
rigid and contracted in such way that
it is impossible now to straighten this
leg Another singular thing about this
third leg is that the toe.nails grow under
the foot and not as in perfect foot. Mr..
Lippert has three brothers and three sis.
tiers perfectly formed; his father and
mother arr in no way remarkable. and
there is no record in his family Of the
birth Of twins. He is another living il.
lustration Of the peculiar method in
which nature sometimes works. and no
theory yet advanced satisfactorily &C.
counts for his strange deformity. Find.
ing his extra leg serious Inconvenience
to him in nearly all the walks Of life, he
finally overcame his modesty and con.
sented to exhibit himself.

Resignation in Little THINGS.

Indiana Farmer.
Whether it is true that "God
foreordains whatsoever oometh to
pass" or not, it Is certainly His will
that we submit to the inevitable as
readily and as cheerfully as we can,
in little things as well as great.
Many christians bow submissively
to bereavement, yet are constant
ly overcome. by the petty trials of
every day. They do not try to
bear these in a spirit of submission
and patience. For the idea has
somehow obtained that God has
something special to do with death,
more than with the events of life.
Strange how it originated. There
is nothing In reason, nothing in
revelation to give it sanction. Find
reason for it who can. Search
the bible from Genesis to Revela-
tions and you will not find it. All
that would point to the hand of
God in death points also to him in
life.
The little ills often most concern
our lives, for they are constantly
recurring and our spiritual growth
depends largely upon how these are
borne. If properly, il we practice
resignation when there is no lawful
escape from them, they become
stepping stones from heaven. They
are transformed from hindrances to
helps and promote a healthy yigor-
GUS growth in the divine life. On
the contrary, il we chafe and fret
under vexatioDs and crosses Of cur
will, which come to all in some
way as a daily experience, If in
these we are FESTIVE and rebellious,
our progress will be slow and fee
BILE, for we are thwarting the divine
purpose in them. II the large af-
flictions are for our good, the small
ones are also. And this we know,
that 1t is no accident that we are
placed IN a world full Of these petty
trials which seem so large to us,
and which are often grievous to be
borne. They are given for a daily
practice in overcoming. We are to
help ourselves out Of them, or seek
help out of them; yet until they are
removed they serve as daily and
excellent exercise in patience, end
in that same resignation to which
we arc go often exhorted in the loss
OF friends.
One reason why we should prac-
tice resignation in the petty trials
Of life is that we may be the better
prepared for greater ones. For
these are surely coming to every
one of us if we continue to live in
this world. Only by going out Of
it can we escape bereavement. We
must lose friends or they must lose
us. And piercing griefs come in
other ways and are the lot of all.
This is not q fact to distress our
selves over in advance; but it is
one that demands preparation. In
yielding to Gods will. e. TO the
trials incident TO the lot in which
he has placed us-in small matters,
we are gaining strength TO meet the
greatest ones as they rise.
