Shore, and the only depot was that Of the
Illinois Central, the others being mere

city. 10 accommodate which six fine
large dcpots have been constructed. At
that time pools were unknown. The
roads agreed upon rates, and were en-
ab!ed to maintain them, as the fierce
competition of the present did not exist.
The first pool ever formed was between
the Rock Island, Northwestern, and Mil
waakce and st. Paul, to regulate through
business between Chicago and Council
Bluffs. It's success was due to the fact
that all three roads ran parallel, and Oh
Sunday each one took its turn to run a
Sunday train. The next pool of any con
sequence was between the south

In the north end of Delaware county,

eccentric and mysterious characters i'll
America. lie is known as "Dnily tie

most diligent inquiries have failed 10 dis
cover anything about his history, as he
declines 10 give any information himself.
The wizard makes his living by fortune
telling, nna many people implicitly be
lievc that he has occult powers. Stories
are related about his wonderful prcdic
tons. This strange man is at present stop
ping with a Mr.. Shannon, ten miles from
Muncie. Bully has Travelled all overthe
world, but he has never rode ON n horse,
in a wagon or on the cars. The onl,
conveyance he has ever used was the
steamship which carried him across the
ocean. Sometimes he will disappear
from this locality for two or three years
at n time, but always turns up again
when least expected.
Bully the WIZARD has a remarkable
"charm string" 1t is 2o3 feet long and
is composed Of shclls, old coins, snake
rattles and buttons in endless variety.
The string when coiled has u diameter of
six feet The cham weighs 800 pounds.
Bully has bis whole life entered in this
charm string, which he treasures above
everything on Garth. Some time ago he
was offered 81. COO for the curiosity, bu,
refused it. Wien he realized that his
string had pecnniary value, the wizard
put il in a box and buried it in a deserted
gravel pit, pnd then departed on one If
his excursions. About three months ago
the county commissioners authorized the
construction of a free gravel road, and a
committee was appointed to prospect the
gravel.
In examining the old pit the charm
string was found and placed in care of
Mr.. Shannon, the friend of the wizard.
Bully ID now engaged in making another
charm, which he claims will be more
marvellous than the other one, which he
was forty six years in constructing.
In telling fortunes he uses a wire filled
with beads, which he places over the
head of the subject, and after taking the
measurement places the wire on his W
head. The strange man lived four years
among Shoshone Indians in Wyoming,
and is familiar with the customs and Ian
guages of all the tribes. His personal
appearance is striking. He wears knee
breeches with short jacket. A skull cap,
with b long tassel behind, covers his head.
He has a moustache and beard. Every
body considers Bully non compos mentis.

Not a "Risiner Generation.

New York Letter. 1t was in a Bridge
car in New York. AL of the seats were
occupied, and among the persons who
were standing were four ladies all young
and passing fair"
But Notwithstanding their charms the
men near them who had seats pretended
to be 80 deeply absorbed in the contents
of their newspapers that they had not
noticed that the four ladies were standing.
it's a way men have under certain cir
cumstanccs.
The car had sped along about 100 yards
when an old gentleman observed in tones
loud enough TO be heard by everybody:
Gentlemen, there arc four ladies
standing; l shall give my seat to one of
them; if there are three gentlemen in the
car the other ladies will not long be kept
standing"
Then the old gentlemen rose, and with
a stately bow TO one of the ladies protfer-
ed her the seat he had vacated. She ac-
cepted with a b%ewitching smile and a
gracious "Thank YOU
Then followed a curious exhibition of
human nature. The men who were read
ing the papers turned scarlet and
squirmed in their seats and looked OK.

pie would think that they did so just to
be considered gentlemen.
He was a fine looking fellow, was the
old gentleman, with d ruddy complexion,
snow white hair and side whiskers like
those of the old Emperor William.
WHAT he exclaimed, after scornfully
gazing at the wretched young men who
chung to their seats, sis it possible tina
there are not three other gentlemen
here?"
The ladies smiled, some of them audi
bly,. The men who had seats made pain
full efforts to hide their confusion ant
wrath. 1t would not do, however, tt
surrender now.
The old gentleman raised his head al
inch higher and looked fine and hand
some. Some ladies could be heard wlis

Then they looked contemporary at tn

A QUEER WILL
WEtah Has Been Broken in Favor
of Relatives.

of Relatives.
TheAntentions Of many t~estators have
been rendered nugatory. less by any in
formality in the manner in which their
wills were drawn than by the essentially
fantastic and impracticable nature of the
requests ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS to which,
in the interests of public policy or of
social propriety, it was found inexpedient
to give legal sanction. To this last cate.
CORY must now be added the provisions
OF the will made by the late Rev. William
Wright of the Arabs Tent, Chiselhurst,
Eng, which was finally adjudicated upon
by Mr.. Justice Chitty. The deceased
cleric had given instructions of the
endowment of a female college
of a certainly novel and net u%nattractive
kind, since it's object was to train ladies
for the important duties of wives, house
mistresscs and mothers. Women, the
reverend gentleman proceeded didactic-
ally to observe, should be something
more useful and more noble than a doll, q
butterfly or u plaything for her husband.
To carry cut his generous aspirations the
eccentric MI. Wright ~propounded q
scheme, two of the features in which
were that the young ladies that were to
be trained to become wives, house mis-
~tresses and mothers should rise very
early and resort to the salutary but not
always convenient use of the cold bath.
He further provided forquarterly CONVEX.
%saziones at this hymenial college and di-
rected that %two-thirds of the invitations
should be sent to single gentlemen. He
also directed that his remains should
be buried in his garden next to
the grave of dog named Labrador, fol
which animal he seems to have enter,
tanned u peculiar affection. The court,
however, held these bcqueststo be illegal
and MIR. Justice Chitty made an order fol
the distribution of the proper among the
next Of kin. OF the thorough impractic
ability of the plans laid down by the vel
meaning but eccentric testator there Car
be no reasonable doubt. Long ago The
poet told us of ladies who at their demise
left their wealth to endow a college or
cat" and it would have been quite feas
ible for Rev. MIR. Wight to bcqucath thu
whole OF his property, had he SO chosen
to the Royal Holloway college or &c tn,
the Royal Society for the Prevention o
Cruelty to Animals. As it is, the will
which has been upset will remain only a
a monument of futile generosity and mis-
directed anxiety TO do good.
