A Large Foot, Rather.

Americas champion big Foot
John" has been unearthcd in the wilds
of North Carolina, and he has his
shoes made in this city. He is a di-
vine and gentleman of color, being
properly known as the Rev. John w.
Farnham, pastor of the Methodist
Episcopal church at Charlotte. The
size OF his boot is $50, which necessi-
tates a sole of 90 inches in length and
inches broad.
The Rev. Farnham stands 6 feet 10
inches in his stable stockings and
weighs 410 pounds when stripped OF
his impediments. When he strides
up the sanctuary aisle the foundations
rumble as if under the influence of
ali earthquake shock, and the stranger
within the gates jerks round expect
ing to see Gabriel and the last day
hand in hand.
The enforced itineracy of Met&o-
distic clergymen has caused Brother
Farnham no little annoyance, for no
sooner does lie find in one town cob
bier that can fit his feet than he is hus-
tied off to another far distant. Re-
Gently, however, the problem has;
found a solution. The dominic has
had quantity Of mammoth lasts and
uppers, sufficient to last till dooms-
day, manufactured and sent to shoe
house on Eighth street in this city.
Thus provided he can rise superior to
his big footed fate by having the fin
ishing touches added wherever there
is need. The privilege of half soling
the reverend's boots is counted rare
