GENERAL WEAVER will probably be
permitted to make his speech to-day in
Pulaski. Tenn, without being assaulted,
but the information which comes from
Southern sources relative to the purpose
of a large class of Democrats to prevent
his speaking and that his friends are
rallying with arms to protect him. is a
disgrace to the Democracy of Middle
Tennessee. There is every reason to
believe that the charges made against
General Weaver as a federal officer dur
ing the war are groundless. At any
rate, there is said to be no complaint
against him in any official record. The
trouble is that he is not a Democrat. If
he were a Democrat he would be well
coined to Pulaski. The truth is the

BORN EOS WILD MAN.
Curious Observations on Jersey City Life

Curious Observations on Jersey City Life
Portrayed in Sign Language.
A drowsy dozen of people gathered in
a hall on the Heights last evening to wit
ness an exhibition by the Wild Man from
Borneo, intended to represent the obser-
vations ON civilized life which occurred to
the sim pie untutored denizen Of the
far away Oceanic isle. Those of jerseys
citizens, who were not IN hand, missed
something, the like of which will not be
seen again unless the untamed native
Sarawak is turned loose once more for
the public amusement.
1t was eight o'clock when he entered
the hall. A short time after the clank of
falling chains was heard. and then the
Wild Man st%epped.to the platform. AT
each side of the stage was a man with a
lasso ready to ensnare him at the slightest
sign of wildness. His captors had, how
ever, probably deprived him of his dinner
for he appeared quite tame. as was the ex-
hibition. This consisted principally in
pantomine, and a majority of the small
audience was quite mystifed.
l myself would have been as fortunate
had l not for my neighbor a traveller who
is very familiar with the picturesque
sign language of the Borneo aborigines,
having resided amongst them several
years. He very kindly explained some of
the motives of the untutored savage.
One of the most frequent gestures was
clasping the hands ut the pack of the
head and looking down III a coutemptu-
way at the audience. This my COM
panion told me meant, II own the earth.
If you don't believe 1t that's your loss"
Another gesture was sticking the thumbs
in the ears and waving the palms of the
hands backward and forward. This, my
friend said, was equivalent, for Some
people think / am an ass, but buy my
little book which the ushers have for sale
anu you'll know why" Another recur-
ring sign wa the extending Of the two
one before the other, in front of
the face, with the thumb pointing to the
nose. This, my informant said, siguified,
1.-The greatest mystery of all is why the
of Jersey City Is existent" The
only other motion recolleot
was a short step forward,
a convulsive wriggling of the
shoulders ami a reaching out of the
hand, for all the world like u man fore
ing his way to a crowded free lunch
counter and seizing a fat sandwich. This
my travelled friend said meant:-''A
mystery Is where and how our butterfly
male population eats"
Soon after this the managers lassoed
the unGuJored one. aud the noise of put
ting on his letters awoke the sleeping
crowd, which filed out into the street,
each man rubbing his eyes.
