As for.lorn an object in the shape of
human as was ever seen is now at the jan
IN This CITY. No one knows who he is, and
he speaks a language no one who has seen
/ him understands Three days ago the po-
lice arrested this man. He earned VIII
him an axe and went into several houses
soaring women and children IN each' IL i
not known that he made any dehohsIra
lions of violence, but he was vagrahl d III
of course the arrest was IustlnaDie' "a.
was taken TO Jail, but no one couIu Si!OI'
| from him any knowledge regarding Nun
elf or from whence he came. German
French and Italian people were asked 70
converse with him, but 10 them ms IAN
pnace was as unintelligible IS Bashl Ba-
zouk He does not refuse TO talk, ou'
seems rather TO wish to be commuhlcaIIlNT.e'
mi II is a fruitless endeavor for him. HIS
annarel is peculiar, Of some foreign make,
hnf different from auy that we have ever
econ an emigrants from the various c0un-
tries Yesterday he took sick, not so
much so as TO be belfast, however, but he
fells ANYTHING but well. 1t may readily DC
imagined that his ailment is most Vlolehl
attack of inconsistencies. AT intervals ne
will burst into tears, gently moan anu
wiring his hands. How utterly lonely
friendless aad desperate must be MS siIua-
ton. How he must long for one ianilllar
face. even a familiar word. He Is hail-
crazed from the effects Of-may 1t not DC
called -homesickness. The wretched man 5
annette is gone, or he seems 10 be AFRAID OF
his food. He does not want TO leave the
Jail and the Lord above only knows wnat
is 10 be done for him.
The man is a laborcr, evidently, but no
one can tell how he came TO be here, as
his general makeup does not evince that
he is Hungarian. Dutch. German, Swedish,
or from any of the lands which usually
send US emgrants. II does not appear that
anv light will ever be thrown on this case,
but it does appear that the man can't live
long under his present mental strain and
peculiar condition. IdrdtisT.
rIcKLRD THE EDITOR.
Geo. II. Nutter, the prominent Republi-
can of Charleston who was mysten0usly
shot several weeks ago and who was de-
feated in the Kanawha County Convention
for County Clerk by Billy DIS
is ont for revenge and blood. Last
Saturday hc visited the editorial room OF
Reber the editor of that Republican
sheet. the Charleston Tribune, and knocked
the editor silly. 1t is an established Iact
that Refer has been licked just fO3 times
since he has been editor of the Tribune. On
every occasion he has strictly followed the
divine Injunction 10 turn the other cheek.
In fact. Rcber's meekness has became so
well known that a number Of the promin-
eut citizens of Charleston do not attempt 10
compose themselves 10 Christian slumOer,
unless they first quiet their nerves by go
ing around and breaking up the Tribune
press with the editors body.
