PERSONS AND THINGS.

Some years ago an American sailor named Carl
BENJAMIN was wrecked on one of the largest of the
Caroline Islands. He decided to make the island
his home, as there was no work to do and plenty
to eat The natives, who are very good natured,
took kindly to him and made him their King. He
is a somewhat scholarly man, and is diligently
teaching the natives English and the rudments of
civilized life. He has 20 wives and so children.
Nothing, ne says, would induce him to SO back TO
his old home, Newburyport Mass.

PLUcKY JOHNNY CAREY.
He Goes to New York With One Leg and Returns
With Two.

Our readers are familiar with the facts in
regard to the loss of his foot by the II years
old newsboy, Johnny Carey, by having it run
over on the Central Railroad last July, while
he was selling papers, Johnny, as soon as the
wound was healed, set about in his energetic
way, commonly called "hustling," to earn and
save enough money to get one of the best arti-
fetal limbs to take the place of the one cut off
by the wheels. His bright ways, his plucki-
ness. and his unusual manliness found him
friends who practically seconded his efforts in
his own behalf, and the result was that Johnny
took the l04l train for New York a week ago
last Sunday night, and arrived in that city the
next morning with letter to A. A. Marks,
manufacturer of artificial limbs. Johnny was
alone, but says he had no difficulty III finding
the place. Mr.. Marks fitted him with one of
his best limbs, and gave John pleasant room
to occupy for few days while it was being
tested and he was becoming accustomed to
using it. Johnny lost no valuable time, how
ever, and after giving the limb an outing each
day, took his crutches, and did as much of
the city as possible He looked closely into
the conditions of hisfellow. brethren there, but

Depew was not in at tie time but Johnny met
his private secretary, II. C. Duval. Upon hear
ing Johnny's story Mr.. Duyal became inter-
ested in the lad and kindly furnished him
with pass with which to return to Utica.
Upon reaching this city, about 6 o'clock yester-
day afternoon, he was given warm reception
by his fellow neWsboys. Johnny wishes The

During the great War of the Rebel
lion, the U. S. Government author
lied Messrs. Gardner & Brady, (the
leading photographers of Washing

photograph all of the interesting and
wonderful scenes sat the 'front.'"
These artists were provided with the
best quality of cameras and remained with
thearmies in the field through theentire war.
The result of their four years labor was ore7.
sic thousand actual photographs of Icar
scenes The photographers made two excel

ing two complete sets of negatives of this
wonderful collection. One set of these
negatives went into the archives of the
War Department at Washington, costing
the United States twenty-eight thousand
dollars. In the vaults at the War Depart
ment this set is now treasured. The
fortunes of war threw the other set of mega

photography, Again can be seen, exactly
as they looked then, the battlefelds, bat

prisoners, hospitals, the wounded, the dead
on the battlefelds just as they fell, burial
details, burying the dead, the execution of
spy, and hundreds of other scenes once SO
familiar to US.
The funny camp scenes were also taken:
cooking beans, the guard house, riding the
wooden horse, tossing up darkey in
blanket, in short, everything of interest
was photographed and is now reproduced,
not by engraving or painting, but actual
photographs, so realistic and vivid that it is
not uncommon for soldiers to pick out
their own pictures at the guns, or in the
trenches. These views make the most
interesting entertainments which can be
given to the public. The comrades above
named will appoint enterprising men to give
exhibitions in each State, Except Connec-
ticut, which territory they reserve for their
own use.) Any comrade or other reliable
person who would like to undertake this
business is invited to call at above address,

circular and terms. 1t is light, pleasant,
