The original of the character of "Jocko,
tho Brazilian Ape" was Henry Leech, IN
Englishman, whose professional name was
Otto Motif. His body was of the size of an
ordinary mans, but his legs were only foot
long, yet such was his agility that he could
outrun, on all fours, very fair runner. His
skeleton is in Mime. Tussaud's exhibition in
London. The Ravels afterward introduced
the character in their pantomimes, but it
was left to Majilton to bring it to perfection.
He had wonderful strength in his hands and
could walk with his hands hanging under an
ordinary floor joist, his whole weight de-
pending upon tho grip between his thumbs
and their opposing fingers with perfect
ease; and he occasionally astonished q
braggart of the profession by walk
ing on his hands on q slack rope, or
on the hawser with which tho circus
was towed by steamer. This singular ia
Guilty made him IN expert climber, and he
would run up and down the interior of tho
circus and leap the rail of the tiers and run
along them with an agility that no ape could
excel. He fairly rolled with laughter when
he told how he frightened the colored people
on the Mississippi.
On one occasion, when he 1eaped among
them, chattering and grimacing, many
jumped in their fright through the windows
of the circus into the river and were rescued
with difficulty. ''For Gods sake, stop this"
said Spalding afterward, "or we'll have dead
niggers to pay for" In December, 1854,
while playing in Charleston, he created al
most panic in tho theater. One of the
scrub women was stationed in the third tier
with stuffed baby, and Majilton, in his
Jocko act, snatched it from her and, jump
ing to the side of the proscenium boxes, beat
its head against the wood and then threw it
to the stage and jumped on it, the woman
yelling all the while and the audience in a ter
rible uproar of terror and indignation.

About the Most Necessary Adjunct Of .
Daily Newspaper-His Work.
About the most necessary and at tho same
time least appreciated adjunct of daily
newspaper is the Office boy. The duties of
the office boy are many, varied and perplex-
ing. He comes to tho editorial room at half
past z or in the morning, and after remov-
ing his cont, collar and tie, proceeds to wres-
tie alternately with broom and duster until
the room begins to lose its crazy appearance,
and to once more resemble an abode Of civ
ilized beings Then, after an interesting in
terview with soap and towel, he prepares to
jump around like "a cat on hot bricks" an
swering the ever noisy telephone and the
never silent desk bells, which the editors seem
to consider their sacred duty to be forever
pounding.
In the meantime visitors are crowding
into the office and firing tho craziest kind Of
questions at the Office boy. One wants to
know if the Office cat is a real animal or a
creation of the editors brain. Another asks
if the prisoner puzzle was ever found out
Some want to pay their respects to the edi-
tor Others want to pay him an old debt,
ETC., etc. Above all, the boy must do his
work quickly and carefully. This requires
an expenditure of nerve force which is sell
dom without its effect. As result of his
efforts to meet the requirements of his posi-
tion the boy frequently becomes nervous and
absent minded. He may often bo seen try
ing to unlock the reporters letter box with
broom, putting two cent stamp on postal
card, etc.
But the drawbacks of the position are out
numbered by its advantages. In the first
place, in his daily routine of work the youth
comes in contact with all sorts of people who
have alls sorts of dispositions, so that he ac-
quires knowledge of human nature the like
of which could hardly bo got outside news
paper office. He learns great deal of the
manners and personal appearance Of our
country's great men whose cards he carries
in to the sanctum sanct. Again, in getting
answers from the editors to the many inter-
esting queries made by the more intelligent
Of the everyday visitors, he is storing up
little private fund of information which will
render him valuable service when in after
years he has attained higher position.
Finally, if the youth be bright and quick he
will "catch on" to lots Of little incidents in
his daily life, which, by writing them up"
will not only swell his pocketbook, but pave
the way to his future success and prosperity

grace, smiled, declared he would return it

this S bill was the turning point in his for

cheapest kind of white wrapping paper, and
on it in two days time he wrote that act Of

Louis Aldrich had won fame by raising
minor part In Joaquin Miller's "Danites"
to be the chief attraction; SO Campbell sought
him and read the play to him. Aldrich was
captivated, advanced some money and sent
him to Manager A. NJ. Palmer, then at his
summer residence at Stamford, Conn. Ho
was captured at once and put his best ener-
gies to work; the piece was brought out at
tho Union Square theatre, Sept. 1G, 1879, was
enthusiastically received and often repeated,
and in one week thereafter ho received
propositions for plays at rates that, could he
have written all of them, would have given
him $4,000. In the meantime, too, some of
his former productions began to obtain some
standing From ''My Partner" ho netted
$4,000. @mN.
He had now reached tho summit, and
while on the heights produced tho ''Galley
Slave" ''Siberia," ''rho White Slave" and
some others not SO well known. Then the
brain trouble began to show too plainly, and
'.Paquita," his last play, was evidently
written by an insane man. The death of
John Mccullough precipitated the fato Of
BARLEY Campbell. His friends noted similar
ity in the decline Of the two men; some hints
Of it got into the papers, and Campbell Le-
came violent at times, threatening to shoot
anv one who criticised him. He had invested
his money in real estate, could not convert it
readily into cash and was cxasperated there
at. Yet in the intervals his mind seemed
perfectly clear and more than usually bril-
liant, and then his talk was delightful. 1t
was noticed that he grew even more sanguine
and confident Of brilliant successes in the
future.

But the present value of his acquaintance
Is that which tells most on their daily work.
Its relation to the amount of news gathered
is not difficult one to express-a simple
ratio between growth in numbers Of men on

points on the other. But it is not always tho
more men, the more news; it is the more high
officials, experienced legislators, the more
news 1t is quality that tells, as ever Tho

Assiduity and tact in placing ones self on

once in direct connection with such sources
one may, as California friend of mine did
the other night, go to the telephone and esk

the action of the senate in executive session

terested in the treaty both for himself and
his constituents. But it needs no long ex-

was not only well worth having, but the out

railways in South America demanded cc.-
slant locations of this character. At many
points it was necessary to suspend the per-

made these locations tells the writer that ON
the Oroya lines the galleries were often from
100 to 400 feet above the base Of the clif and
