A GreenYille Freak.

CINCINNATI, March 25.-Manager
John Avery, of the museum, received g
letter from the Ohio penitentiary which
was written by convict John S. Sloan.
Sloan, who is freak, seeks an engage
ment at the museum. he was received
at the Ohio penitentiary in December
last on three and half years. sentence
for passing counterfeit money. His
home is at Greenville, S. g., and it was
there that the crime was committed. He
is Federal prisoner.
Sloan ia thirty seven years old, and for
the last thirty years has lived as re-
markable physical wreck of human
being. When seven years old be was in
a runaway with an older brother, and
the heavy wagon they were driving cap
sized on mountain road and rolled
down a precipice. He was terribly
crushed, and there seemed little ground
to hope for his recovery, but he lived.
Except his head and his should ers
there is not portion of his body that is
not deformed. His arms and legs are,
almost useless for the purpose nature in
tended them. Nevertheless he has in.
vented means by which he is capable of
limited locomotion. His spine is dis
torted and stiff; his arms. below the
elbows, withered and powerless; his
hands crsmped and misshapen his hips
of uneven height, and his legs, below the
knee, are shrunken and useless.
By strapping small, short crutcbes to
the forearms and the thighs he manages
to amble along at fair speed.
His body, as be walks, Is nearly hori-
zontal, and he throws bis head back, so
that as he moves, he looks like crea.
ture-part human and part alligator
the lower part of the legs Topping as they
will, resembling tail.
When be arrived at the prison he
wore moustache and goatee, but under
the prison rulea these have been remov-
ed.
All prisoners, both State and Federal,
are required to work, and after some cas-,
tings about Sloan he was set to peeling
potatoes in the prison kitchen, but even
in this be was found to be failure, and
now spends nearly all his time reading in
his cell. This is in the insane depart
ment, and be has the liberty Of the cor.
ridor snd the adjoining court yard. he
spends most of the day time standing on
his "pegs." He wears stripes just as the
other prisoners do, though he could fly
as easily as he could escape.
Sloan owns farm near Greenville con.
tanning 205 acres, but it is not worth
more thar IS or $6 per acre. He has q
manly voice and cheerful face for one
so terribly afflicted. Deputy Warden
PIayford, who takes great interest in
Sloan, get him to making trinkets to sell
to visitors some weeks ago, but it was
soon found that he could not use his
hands we'll enough for this.
When his clothes are removed further
deformity appears. On one side the ribs
have been crowded down go far that they
overlap, and envelop the top of the hip
Withal, he seems to enjoy fairly good
health.
Convicts are as rule superstitious and
his presence among them at first caused
much excitement in his cell blcck. The
novelty suon wore away, however, and
with it the excitement.

Bleak House is the name Of q fine
estate which overloOks the entrance TO

view of the waters leading to the

about the house or the surroundings
suggestive of the d0leful appearance
or character Of that London mansion
which supplied Dickens with title
for one Of his most popular novels,
though its isolation may have sug-
gested the name for cottage nomen-
clature. But Bleak House is pointed
out by the drivers who take you
