A BLIND TYPEWRITER.

It is almost incredible that 81
mon Collins, of Marietta, who has
been blind for twenty seven years
is an expert carpet weaver, makes
and prints paper flour sacks In
colors, doing the printing on a
Washington hand-press, with per
feet register, but the Marietta
Times vouches for that. | have
known him for seven years, and
have seen him frequently on the
streets of his town, cane in hand,
walking rapidly making all the ins
and outs, going down into a base
ment or upstairs to business
office, never making mistake and
never being hurt.
A year ago he made a canoe
from his own design, and the same
boat won race in regetta upon
the Susquehanna at Columbia.
He is a patentee of a brush handle,
makes fshing-nets and cane-seated
chairs.
His latest triumph is the mas
terry of the typewriter. He
bought one some months ago, and
he is now able to operate it quickly
and correctly. He is said to be an
expert eacher player, but l cannot
vouch for that, though it is scarcely
any more notable than many other
things already mentioned which |
have known him to do.-Phila-
delphia Times.

A DIG IN THE RIBS.

If on the right side and lower part of the
diaphragm, though playfully meant and de-
ivered, is calculated to evoke profanity
from chappY whose liver is out of order.
When that region is sore and congested,
pokes seem fiendish. Look at mans coun-
tenance ere you prod him under the ribs.
If his skin and eyeballs have sallow tinge,
you may infer also that his tongue is furred,
his breath apt to be sour, that he has pains
not only beneath his ribs, but also under
the right shoulder-biade. Also, that his
bowels are irregular and his digestion i'm
paired. Instead of making jocose demon
stration on his ribs, recommend him to take,
and steadily persist in taking, Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters, the finest anti bilious
and Alternative medicine exta.t. Incom
parable is it, also, for dyspepsia, rheuma.

A LITTLE OF EVERYTHING.

E. ]. Baldwin, proprietor of the
Baldwin hotel and well-known
millionaire of San Francisco has
been a blacksmith, a farmer, a
stablekeeper; he has kept a hotel,
a grocery store and a theatre. He
was boatswain on a St. Louis
canal, became travelling trades
man, crossed the plains and did a
rattling business in tobacco and
rum with the saints at Salt Lake
City. Finally he reached San
Frrncisco, where the first thing he
did was TO start a temperance ho-
tel. He became brickmaker
and made money. Ophir stock
was running everybody at the time.
Baldwin tried his luck at it, and
came out winner of $18,O00,000.
He is now 60 years old, tall, dark,
wiry, nervous, energetic and, like
Sharon and other millionaires, has
had his share of bad luck with wo
men.

upon the inside at the end of each
sixty minutes. No changes were
noticeable until after the end of the
twelfth hour, when some of the
lineaments of the head and body
of the chick made their appearance.
The heart appeared to beat at the
end of the twenty fourth hour, and
in forty eight hours two vessels of
blood were distinguished, the
pulsations being quite visible. AT
the tiftieth hour an auricle OF the
heart appeared, much resembling
lace or moose folded down upon
itself. At the end of seventy hours
we distinguished wings and two
bubbles for the brain, one for the
bill and two others for the forepart
and hindpart of the head. The
liver appeared at the end of the
fifth day. At the end of 131 hours
the first voluntary motion was
observed. At the end of 1873
hours the lungs and stomach had
become visible, and four hours
later the intestines, the loins and
the upper mandible could be dis
tinguished. The Shiny matter of
the brain began to take form and
become more compact at the be-
ginning of the seventh day. At
the one hundred and ninetieth
hour the bill first opened and flesh
began to appear on the breast. At
the one hundred and ninety-fourth
the sternum appeared. At the
two hundred and tenth hour the
ribs had begun to put out from the
back; the bill was quite visible, as
was also the gall bladder. At the
beginning of the two hundred and
thirty sixth hour the bill had be-
come green, and it is evident that
the chick could have moved had
it been taken from the shell. Four
hours more and feathers had COM
menced to shoot out, and the skull
to become gristly. At the two
hundred and sixty-fourth hour the
eyes appeared, and a few hours
later the ribs were perfect. AT
the three hundred and thirty first
hour the spleen drew up to the
stomach and the lungs to the chest
When the incubator had turned the
egg 355 times the bill was fre-
quently opening and closing, as if
the chick was gasping for breath.
When 451 hours had elapsed we
heard the first cry Of the little i'm
prisoned biped. From that time
forward he grew rapidly, and came
out a full-fledged chick at the
proper time.-St. Louis Repub.

Gorballis Ga5ettt,
ART OF LASSOING.

The art of lassoing, Or roping as
it is called, is becoming favorite
athletic exercise in some parts of
the country; all the more so, as in
the eyes Of the unlnitiated, there is
a halo of romance about it.. Much
exaggeration is INDUCED in when
telling of the feats done with the
lasso. The ropes used by COW
punchers are OF three kinds-hair,
rawhide and MANILA or sea-grass
rope. and nine out of ten use the
three-eighth Or one half MANILA,
while the hair rope is rare. For
exhibition purposes a finely braid
ed, loaded rawhide rope is used,
the additional weight near the
houdoo, or small loop through
which the rope passes, being of
immense advantage, and enabling
an expert to reach a greater dis
tance. In rope Of 80 feet, the
loading will probably enable a
man to reach five or SIX feet
further. AS general rule, the
length of the saddle rope varies
from 80 to 40 feet, and more often
under 40 feet than over. In horse
back throwing, the left hand, hold
ing the bride and spare coiled
rope, guides the horse, while the
moose or loop is swung around the
head with the right. In swinging
the loop the essential point is to
keep the loop open, and this is
done by simple turn of the wrist,
the arm itself being hardly used.
In throwing on foot in corral, or
where a bunch of horses are hud-
died together, and care is taken not
to frighten them unnecessarily,
the moose is trailed ON the ground
and cast at the animals head.
These are the two ways of roping
most commonly practiced, though
there are several other fancy ways
not often practiced.
In the matter of authentic
records, none probably exist. One
hundred and sixteen feet has been
claimed for California man now
travelling with Buffalo Bill's show,
while ninety -four feet has been
published for a Billings, M. T.,
man, but both of these records are
preposterous. The average cow
puncher from Texas to Montana
uses a rope which rarely reaches
fifty feet, and from twelve to
twenty feet must be deducted from
this measure for circumference of
moose. Sometimes SO called
"California leop'' exceeds this by
nearly five feet. In catching a
wild horse or steer, after the moose
is over the animals neck or legs,
the end of the rope is swiftly tied
around the horn of the saddle, the
: horse being braced back to resist
the shock, which in most cases
either snaps the rope or sends the
captured animal all in a heap.
What the possibilities of roping to
catch are is hard to say. No doubt
with horse at full gallop down
hill, the wind favorable and good
long rope, an expert may reach
100 feet, but such casts are few
and far between, and most good
ropers feel extremely pleased when
they can reach out the full length
of their forty-five-foot rope and
catch. If roping was conducted
under the conditions to which most
athletic competitions are subjected,
as regards level ground and stand
ing at a scratch, a 50-foot throw
would be good record, while a
75-foot one would be an extraor-
binary one, and in fact, considered
by many to be well-nigh impossi-

Mr.. Louis Pitt an old and much
esteemed citizen of this place passed
away peacefully on Saturday night.
His death was not unexpected as be
has been suffering for several years
from consumption and for the last
few months almost entirely confined
to bis home.
Mr.. Pitt was a native of Rhine
Bavaria and come to this country in
1851, settling in Woodville in 1861,
Like the majority of our citizens of
German nativity, in 1862, Mr.. Pitt
thought that a country that was
worth living in was worth fighting
for, and joined the Hurricane Rifles
Capt Stamps Company, afterwards
Company ''E," 21st Mississippi
Regiment.
He was a most faithful and gallant
soldier in that famed command and
was badly wounded at Gettysburg.
At the close OF the war he returned
to this place and engaged in bust
ness, until failing health compelled
his retirement from active exertion.
The remains were escorted to the
grave at the cemetery by the Masonic
Fraternity and large concourse OF
friends.
A "good man" and faithful friend
has passed over the dark river and
the places that knew him once will
know him no more forever, Peace

fully aware that no one knows so

meekly acquiesced in and endorsed
everything that was said, and had

he received a setback from very
quiet gentleman in the crowd. He
had listened calmly to what the others
had said, and then expressed himself
by saying, "that as far as be was
concerned, he didn't know anything
about the running Of a newspaper,
but believed the men who had spent
lifetime at the business did know
something about it, and was willing
to trust to them" This remark
gave the reporter new life and new
hope that he could not help exclaim-
ing: Eureka we have found him !
