1t was in Dublin Bay, in the year 851, that
the divided currents of aggression met after
making between them the circuit of Great
Britain. For without much eddying of bat
tie and red spray of slaughter was their
coslescence effacted, little to the advantage
OF their common victims.

The history of the Vikings i'll Ireland is
peculiar. They were at first able to carry
everything before them. The disorganizing
influences of the tribal system, the division
of the land almost ad infinitnm among
mutually hostile chiefs and kingIese, made
combined resistance impossible; ard Olaf,
the White of Norway, profiting by their
dissensions, became, in more than mere
name, although in less than actual fact,
king over ali Ireland. Yet nowhere else
was the obtruSive Morse power 50 complete
ly broken by great national effort rs it
was in Ireland, upward Of q century later,
at the battle OF Clontari Q01Sl. Thence
forth the dreaded "black ships ceased to
be signaled from Irish headlands; not
single sept owned foreign subservience; for
eign domination survived only in Dublin,
which continued a Danish city until the
coming Of Strongbow.

my assistance. giving me for short time

A QUEER DIET.
A WHEELING MICRO WBO EATS LAMP CHlM-
NsYS AND LIVE CHICKENS.
A Singular Exhibition That BaS Been Going on In
the Second Ward Market Hall-An
Ostrich-Liks Stomach.

For the last two or three nights, there
has been decidedly novel exhibition going
on in the hall over the Second ward market.
A negro with more nerve than discretion
has been giving an illustration of his ana
conda-like powers of digestion. 1t has
been his usual custom each night before
the entertainment TO wander out upon the
sidewalk where group of men could be
found, and start in upon lecture as TO
what he proposed TO do. The fellow has
loud, ierky voice, talking in rambling,
incoherent way and some people who heard
him the first NJ ght thought il was some one
having fit. The fellow seems TO have
good deal Of the quackerv snap about him,
and is not long in drawing the crowd
around. He announces that he will eat so
many lamp chimneys, and so many live
chickens, biting their heads off, and
then eating the entire bird, bones,
feathers and all. This naturally seemed
like a startling proposition to the listeners,
but those who have subsequently been III the
hall find that he is largely what be pretends
to be, 2 man with an ostrich stomach. Dur
Ing the past week he has eaten several
lamp chimneys and tumblers and various
other pieces of glassware, chewing the
u.
method of slowing away glassware is as
follows: He breaks a lamp chimney or
tumbler into pieces, and then grinds these
pieces together in the palms OF his hands,
which are almost as hard as alligator skin,
until it gets almost as fine as dust, and
then swallows gradually. AS ne throws
his head and turns the particles from one
of his hands into his mouth, the act OF
grinding with his teeth can plainly De
heard about the hall.
His next peculiar feat is that of eating
chickens alive. He holds one OF the birds
up before the audience and suddenly bites
the head off, whereupon he proceeds to de-
YOUR the remains, eating feathers, bones
and every part and parce. of the oiped, APP
parently with as much relish as other
people would discuss the same kind OF
bird cooked, Drowned and gravied. Sever
al of these chickens were disposed of last
week in this rude and aboriginal fashion
The fellow further illustrated his capa-
bilities in this line one night by eating
forty-eight biscuits and four pounds
of bacon within few hours. There are
other lncongrCous things that this darkey
assimilates. but the two pet things that he
seems to have hankering for are glass and
| live chickens.

jeff Howard, fellow about 30 years old,
who follows the occupation of hod car
rier. He is thick-set, rugged-looklng
darkey, and is said TO have rOughed it

| identified with circuses and museums.

The Hotel Brunswick.
From May Ness nQer.

Martin Thornton, proprietor of the
Brunswick Hotel, has completed an ad-
dition of ten rooms to his house, all of
which have been furnished with new
furniture throughout. This addition
places his house, as regards room and
convenience, in the front rank, and it
now presents an attractive appearance,
both internally and externally. He is
now prepared TO meet demands for
sleeping apartments, which has not
been the case in the past. The rooms
in their appointments are all that guests
could desire. Those who have stopped
at this hotel have only words of praise
for the genial proprietor, who has a
reputation as caterer unsurpassed in
the State. 1t is seldom that more
thorough hotel man is met with. The
house is conducted on the European
plan, and the bill of fare is all that one
could desire. A good meal is furnished
at % cents. Special rates for room and
board can be had on application. No
other hotel or restaurant in West Vir-
gina affords better accommodations or
inducements than the new Brunswick
