An Old Circus Curiosity.

Ell PAso, TEX, March l2.-In a small gar
den attached to one Of the most frequented
saloons in Ell Paso lies stone image of
heroic size, which some twenty years ago
created an unfounded sensation, not only
among the public generally, but also among
scientists. 1t i, the celebrated Cardiff giant.
After Barnum had done with it and the
charm of novelty had worn off, this noted
fraud knocked about the country from post
to pillar, until finally, at Ell Paso, it was
attached and sold to defray a board bill and
transportation expenses. Il is fast going to
wreck, as the customers of the saloon are in
the habit of chipping of pieces of the giant
for keepsakes. The breaking of one of the
massive legs has disclosed the fact that the
interior of the figure was filed with heavy
frame Of iron rods holding il securely to-
gether.

porter propounded some questions to S.

lowing are the points CLEANED from him:
Yes. the head consul and his sdher~
ents, assisted by shrewd attorr ey. have
manipulated the executive council and
removed some of their opponents and dis =
gusted others so that they have resigned,
until they have full swing and can do
anything they please. The ,emovals
were made by an unwarrsnted assump>
ton of arbitrary power. We do not sc>
cept the situation, and shall maintain our
right to the offices to which we were
legally selected"
The executive council, with Damaging
evidence against the head consul in their
hands, refused to act. and allowed the
accused to continue poisoning the minds
of the members of the order through the
medium of the Echo"

the case of Nyblsdh VS.. Lindeb ad came
up Monday morning in the circuit court
on the demurrer of plaintiff to defend
ants plea Defendant pleads that his
statement about Nybladh was true, and
he is ready to prove it. Plaintiff claims
to have been injured by the published
statement that Nybladh was the ather of
bastard child By girl NAMED Annie
Anderson. Defendant claims % have
published the statement about Nyoladh
in the interest of morals and religion.
The court held that the plea was not spe
cifc enough, and that it must set up cir.
cumstances of time and place at which he
alleges he can prove Nybladh to have
been guilty of the ofense charged, so
that the defendant can be prepared to
make his proof in denial of the charges
if be wants to. The defendant has al
ready filed a more explicit plea.

Not long ago young man who had a
touch of heart disease entered the Office Of q
Boston dentist. The young man had q bad
attack of toothsche also and in his anxiety
TO get rid Of the offending tooth forgot to in
form the dentist that he wished to take the
ether slowly and cautiously. Consequently,
just as he was about to succumb to the in
6uences of the gas he remembered his omis-
sion and raised his hand 10 remove the tube
from his mouth. But the ether was little
quicker than he, and his arm fell powerless
at his side. He felt rushing in his brain
and a roaring in his ears He felt, or imag-
ined he felt, a quick and sudden movement of
his heart. Then be felt nothing more. But
he continued TO think very violently.
His brain seemed conscious of existence,
but be could neither see, hear nor feel For
all he knew he might have been floating in
hghtless space. He was ignorant whether be
was dead or merely under the influence of
the gas, but he would have given all he was
worth to know where and what he was. For
the space of what seemed TO him to be several
hours, he strove in some way to prove
whether he was alive or dead. A million
thoughts of Renaissance, wonder, anticipa-
ton, horror and agony shot through his
brain, and then he rose suddenly with gasp,
to find that he was alive. The sweetest sight
that he had seen for years was that dingy lit
tie dental Office, with the afternoons sun
pouring in the window. He will never take
ether again. Boston Advertiser

The Course of Chinese True Love.

Love has its troubles among all clans, and
even the impossible Mongolian finds that its
course does not run smoothly. The anti
Chinese law is keeping fond hearts in China
away from fond hearts in New York, and
promises to make the Chinese colony q per-
manent one and to provide it with American
wives. This is the way of it: Five years ago
n boy of IA was betrothed TO girl of 10, and
then the little pig tailed lad set sail for San
Francisco with his father to make his fortune
and return for his bride. In vain the Ian
gushing Lo Fee has written to him to return.
All Chung knows that if he goes back to
China he cannot come back here and his
doodle is yet too small 10 keep a wife in
style.
Finally the bride got angry and wrote to
her uncle to make it hot for All Chung which
he proceeded to do verbally. But the latter
young man is not easily scared, and coolly
told the uncle that his berrothed had better
suit herself with a husbandat home, as on the
whole he thought American girls prettier
than Mongolians, and intended to marry and
settle down in the United States.
The fact is that Cinnamon who have visited
their old home and returned have brought
such terrible accounts Of the dullness of
poverty stricken life in China that the wide
awake Celestials colonized here have mainly
concluded that Tennyson was right about his
Cycle of Cathay," and it will suffice to send
their bones home Exchange.

and Davy Upton have already come into
port. and Captain Frank Martin has gone
north TO take the annual inventory OF
stock. Capt. ]. W. Bracket and Mr. R.
5. Blskemore are also al home for the
winter, and Cspts. Thompson and

as rapidly as possible. Mr.. H. Basse is
making some sketches up the river and
will be back in few days, while Messrs

be in their winter quarters before the
end of the week.
Maj. Mackenzie estimates that little
over half a million dollars has been spent
under his jurisdiction the past summer
and he is very well satisfied with what
has been accomplished. There is not
much of fund left to begin operations
in the spring though, and unless congress
makes its appropriations early work will
be delayed next season. The Mississippi
Improvement is one of the most impor-
tant appropriations that comes before
the river and harbor committee and 1t
