A Curious Individual.

Hamilton, O., has amysterious visitor.
He is man Of about As, and during the
several weeks he has spent about the
town no one has been able to get sim
gle word from him. He carries a bum
die to which he clings all the time, using
it at night for pillow. What IT con-
tains no one knows. He sleeps in an
open wheat field. He has never en-
tered door, never asks for food or been
given mouthful Of food, and puts in
the day walking up and down the pike.
He visits spring where he drinks CO.
piously; but what he lives on outside of
water, where he came from, or what his
name is, no one has been able to ascer-
tain.

The Wordsworth Cottage.
Labouchere in London Truth,

1t may be hoped that the nonsensical
scheme to expend FL, 800 in purchasing
Wordsworth's cottage, at Grasmere, will
fail. Is there any use in setting up an
other Of these melancholy showhouses?
A fee of sixpence is to be charged to
every visitor, but | should think that
rational admirers of Wordsworth will
prefer to visit his grave in Grasmere
Churchyard, which can be viewed with
out any payment; and, after all, Rydal
Mount is the place which is principally
associated with the memory of Words
worth, who would have preferred that
his admirers should expend their spare
money in helping to support the local
association which is endeavoring to pre-
serve public rights-of-way in the lake

The Elixir of Life.
From the New York Herald.

From the New York Herald.
DR.. Brown-Sequard has again come to
the fore. 1t will be remembered wbata
sensation he created about year ago by
a discovery for which he claimed some
virtue, of the Fountain of youth. DR..
Brown-Sequard's simultaneous injec
tons were nine-days' wonder, but
nothing more. The scientists gave his
discovery the cold shoulder, and the
Academy of Medicine refrained from
appointing a special committee TO con-
slider the subject, as it has often done in
analogous cases.
Recently the Academy Of Biology, be-
fore which DR.. Brown-Sequard read first
his report, on the discovery, was mott
fed that the learned doctor desired to
acquaint them with new developments
in his system. During the winter
months, while residing in Nice, he ex-
perimented with a septic injection of
his famous solution, and found immense
benefit from it.
In his report, DR.. BrownSequard
claimed that by his new treatment
there had been rapidly -cured cases of
chronic intermittent fever, rooted neu-
ralgia, rheumatism, insomnia, and even
leprosy. He referred particularly to a
cure obtained by a leading physician
IN the case OF gentleman We'll known
to him and fellow-member, NJ. d Ar
sonal, who corroborated DR.. Sequard's
statement. The new system finds no
favor with his scientific confreres than
did his first. A large majority are more
than skeptical, and speak pityingly of
the grand intellectual capacity which is
losing, if it has not already lost, its just
balance.
There are, however, some who give
open and unreserved admiration to the
aged professor, who at the close of
long career, when other men are rest
ing on their laurels, perseveres in labor
which he believes to be that Of science,
careless of sheer or sarcasm. Among
the latter stands prominently DR.. Vari-
OF, who was the first of the Paris physi-
clans to experiment on others with the
solutions which Sequard had so far only
tried upon himself Among the MAORI
ty is Prof. German See, whose lectures
at the Hotel Dieu have placed him in
the front rank of French physicians.

A Flash of Lightning's Force.

The Baby and Man.


The baby has many advantages. Life
is before him. He has no record. He
is not running for office; he is not COM
peting in store or factory; one looks at
him with unjealous eyes; he is simply a
raw possibility; his charm is his natural
ness. You cannot make baby pose
even in photograph gallery. He acts
as he feels. You have seen disagree
able baby, but that is precisely what he
is. He does not impose on anybody.
He exactly expresses himself-there is
no disguise, no deceit. He proclaims
himself / lately rode with one who
murdered sleep for carload of tired
people, but he never apologized. He
yelled all night, and then slept all day.
He was baby you could depend on
You could arrange for him-you knew
where to find him.
But here is man, and he has dis
agreeable element in him. Instead of
getting rid of it or openly expressing it
he hides it. That is the defect in civili-
cation. If men kept the charm of child
hoods frankness, it would be a tolerably
safe world. With two exceptions the
berries that are good to eat look good.
The look of a snake is enough, and the
look Of dove. Nature is nearly honest.

The New Naval Vessels.

The coast defense vessel Monterey,
now in process of construction at the
Union Iron Works, San Francisco, is
calculated for the defense in time of
need of this harbor and the coast in the
immediate vicinity. Some questions
have been asked as to the capability OF
the vessel to perform all the service
which might be expected of her, on ac-
count of her light draught. Inspector
Fernald, the United States naval in
spector, who is watching her construc-
ton, SAYS of her that being of the mon
itor type and only intended for harbor
defense, it would be unnecessary to
make her draw more water than she
has been designed for. The vessel is
receiving the best of care in her con-
struction. The Monterey will be ready
about the LIST of September for launch
ing.
The cruiser San Francisco will have
her trial trip on July 4, if the dock trial
proves satisfactory. This vessel, In
spector Fernald says, will be a fine adj
dition to the navy, and her builders ex-
pect that she will far exceed the speed
of nineteen knots required by the con-
tract. There are but six vessels of her
type in the navies of the world. She is
so constructed that her upper works
might all be shot away and her hull
perforated with shot and still float.
Her draft is twenty-one feet, and her
armament consists of twelve six-inch
guns
