HEADLESS ROpIESS.
Thc ehastIy Discovery Recently Made is

the Mountains OF tsssb.
\ most ghastIy discovery was made
by Harvey Thomas, a pro>Pcctor ia the
mountains to the south Of salt Lake
City. lie had been trying to follow q
blind lead for some time under the be-
lief that he would find an old ahaa-
doncd mine, Of which many stories
have been told. lie followed what Ee
considered an old trail deep into the
mountains and came to 4 place which
showed signs Of having been once in
habited. Deep into the canyon, which
was almost hidden at the mouth Of
heavy growth OF bushes and vines. he
found = stone house. 1t was small. and
had apparently been made for the pur-
pose Of holding something which was
never TO get out, for there was neither
door nor window. The place showed
such evidence Of great age that Thomas
had no scruplcs in breaking into the
house, and the sight which met his
gaze when he did 50 nearly caused hiIn
to faint
Lying on the floors and propped up
around the walls of the little stone
house were the headless bodies Of sew
cnteen people. The bodies had been
prepared in some way and retained
their form and appearance as If they
had been dead only q short time. Not
a head was found about the place. The
bodies were those Of men and women
and two children. On reporting the
discovery at salt Lake an investiga-
tion was made, and the belief Is gen
eral that the bodies are those of people
who were killed in one Of the many
early Mormon wars which took place
when the country was being settled.
What has been done with the heads is a
mystery which no one has attempted to
solve. There was nothing about the
bodies to give the slightest clew to their

The circus gave Tecumsch, Ala, eX-
citCment enough ON recent Sunday to
last it for year, says the Atlanta Con
stitution. Forepaugh's show travelled
on four trains. As il Is against the
Georgia laws To run through this state
on Sunday it was decided to stop at
TecUmseh and feed the animals and
rest. At all the stations there We're
large crowds. and at Tecumseh there
We're several hundred when the last
train approached. As it was slowing
down one of the ferocious lions man
aged to tear off the door of his cage.
Hector, which was the brute's name.
thrust his head out right in the faces Of
a group OF negroes who were standing
on the platform. They could not have
been worse scared if the evil one had
dropped down among them. Hector
made q leap, with open mouth, into the
crowd. Such a scattering and such
yelling were never seen or heard in Ala
bama. Some of the negroes fell down
in aJiect fright, but the most of them
struck of for home on hard run. 4
dozen tried to climb telegraph poles.
One man sprang down a well. Hector
lit on his feet. bat rolled over and over.
When ne got up there was hardly a man,
woman or child within fifty yards. One
woman. though, who had tainted was
lying near the lion. With one bound
he was on her, his ugly teeth showing
and his tongue rolling out. The people
who were looking on We're Mortified.
The tanner was a long way off and there
was no ore near with q pistol or rife.
To attempt to rescue her would be al
most certain death. To the astonish-
ment OF everyone the beast, instead of
mangling the woman. simply shifted
the body. turned it over with his paws,
and after cycling it suspieiously walked
off leisurely. He thought that the
woman was dead. Hector was recap
tured and recaged without trouble

A HORRIBLE INDUSTRY.
The Manufacture of Crippies n CoInTo
Practic. in E.,aia.

The Manufacture of Crippiss a Common
Practice in Spain.
The Paris gingerbread fair, as IL Is
called. which Is held every spring in the
faubourg st. Antoine and Place de 10
Nation, is notorious for the number OF
natural and artificial phenomena eN-
hibited there to the public. This year,
says a correspondent in the London
Standard, their number has been great
" increased by the arrival Of about
twenty culs-dc-jatte, who are wretch
edly lodged in huts on 4 piece Of waste
ground in the cOur de Nincennes. Thee
cripples, whose minute, shrivelcd-up
legs are curled up on the boards on
which they sit, form Il colony which
calls TO mind the cour des Mir
acles of former times Every morning
they all issue forth, propelling them
selves with their hands, to take up their
places at the fair, there TO await the
pence which may be thrown TO them by
the compassionate passers-by- Their as
pect is so pitiful that IL is said many Of
them make a rich harvest, which, how
ever, of course goes to the bcggar
farmer" II appears that twenty or
thirty years ago the culs-de-jatte We're
almost unknown in France, and that
these deplorable looking cripples are
the product of what may be called an
industry. Almost all these numerous de
formed little creatures come from Spain,
and more especially from Tolosa, or the
neighborhoOd situated at about fifteen
miles TO the south Of st. Sebastian.
They are the outcome Of the abominablc
practices Of beggar farmers" who
seek their victims among the children
Of the peasants When there is a weak
ly boy IN the family they persuade the
parents that ne can never be anything
but burden 10 them unless they con
sent to have him transformed into 4
cul-dc-iatte, and promise TO pay them
n trifie a day so long as the cul-de-jatte
is left with them. The operation to
which the unfortunate creature is sub
jectcd is as effcctual as il is simple.
The legs of the child are so tightly
compressed that the circulation of the
blood in them is stopped Little by
little the legs wither away, and the cul-
de-jatte Is manufactured In 1857
Waldcck Rousseau, the minister of the
interior, prohibited the introduction Of
these Spanish culs-de-jatte into France,
but it Is estimated that recently three
or four hundred of the poor creatures
cross the frontier every year. They
are now seen in almost every town in
France, and have got as far north IS
Belgium. To be cuI-de-jatte must be
a profitable trade for the beggar farm
crs who manufacture them and bring
them from Spain, as these traders pay
the parents of the poor cripples pit
tance of only fifty centimes to one franc
. day for their hire.

WRAPPED WITH SNAKES.
Adventure OF a Farmer Who Descended
Into an old Wei.

Alexander krolslIy, a farmer near
Derby Hill. Conn. recently had an es-
pcrience with snakes that has rendered
him temporarily insane. and the ply
sicians are not sure that ne viii ever re-
gain his reason. KrolsAy went down
into a well on his farm for the purpose
Of cleaning ii ont. He had been down
bat q few minutes when he shouted TO
his cousin, who had lowered him, to
draw him up. The man began pulling
up the rope. When he had helped
krolsly nearly to the top he looked
down and saw several black and brown
water snakes were around Krolsl5y's
arm and body.
The sight of the serpents scared the
man, and, dropping the rope, he ran
bowling away. Krolsky's shriells were
heard by laborers a short distance
away, and they ran to the well Krol-
sky was battling desperately with the
snakes. He was quickly helped out.
From his body FIVE immense snakes
were torn and killed. His mind i now
derangcd. The old well in which he
encountered the reptiles Is apparently
full of them. a lantern lowered into
ii revealed countless number of ser
pent heads protruding from the wall.

grcat-grandson, who Is q iull-2r'F.n
man.
Campechc, says the ST. louis Re-
public. came originally from Spain,
where hc says he was born il lI.-,
which would make him now one hun
dred and ffty-four years old He has
the appearance Of being about ninety
years old and is fairly active for an old
man. He shows papers TO bear out his
assertion as 70 his age and birth, and
the man with whom he iS living says
there Is no doubt aS To the relationship
hc bears 10 the old man. CGmPeChc says
that he has never known a days sick
ness in his life.
He saws he remembers coming 70 this
country when lac was but twenty-five
years old as a soldier, and that was b.
fore the war OF the revolution III tie
United States. The old mans memory
is good. and he tells Of things whi, j.
took place in the last century as II they
had occurred last year, instead OF over
one hundred years ago. In fact, he r2-
members things sevonty-hvc and . hun
dred years ago better than he does
those of recent occurrence
The papers which ne carries TO prove
his assertions are the copies of Il church
register in Valjdolid, Spain, showing
his date of birth and that Of his bap-
tisrn. The papers are undoubtedly
genuine. as far as the dates are con
cerncd, and the only thing To be de
tcrmiued is whether they are rightfully
his or not. Ills memory OF incidents In
the last century would indicate that he
IS either telling the truth as to his par
ticipatiou therein or he has most
wonderful mind to have stored up the
tales in such q manner as 10 have de-
ceived all who listen - him. The
priest of the church which he attends
is an old man Of eighty-siX. and says he
was an acolyte in the church when he
was a boy, and Campeche was an old
man at that time.
