fEAIS OF Strength.
Remarkable Stories or the Proves Of
Grand Csnar.ans.


After the Spanish occupation OF the
Grand Canary, o certain enormous stone
was for q long time pointed out as one OF
the instruments OF the Gaunche athletic
courses, says an exchange.
The natives had been able to lift il, set
IL on their shoulders, and even throw it
over their heads. Their degenerate pos.
terity and the Spaniards could not raise
II from the ground.
Tradition has immortalized one Adar-
gonna Of Grand Canary, who could
wrestle for w consecutive hours, and
having been thrown undermost in n GER
tain contest, got his antagonist between
his legs and arms and squeezed him so
that his bones began TO crack. The ma.
tive was subsequently sent as a prisoner
to Spain, where he astonished the people
by his performances.
One day in Seville he was visited by O
brawny youth OF La Mancha, who wa
anxious to try a bout with him.
NV good friend" said Adargoma, " a.
we are going TO wrestle together, il j.
only reasonable that we should begin by
drinking something
A large bowl of wine having bee
brought, he O this in one hand en,
continued toaddress the challenger:
"If with both your arms you can over
owe one OF mine, 80 as 10 hinder m
from drinking every drop ofthis wine "
will try our strength together. II nc.
you may return to your home" II
struggle took place, and Adargoma b
degrees drained the bowl IN the coole
manner without spilling a drop OF e.
wine. His one hand was more than
match for the two.
1t was reckoned nothing out OF IL
common for a IN to take an untethert
or by the horn with one hand and slay
with the other,
A certain native born priest OF Graz
Canary in the Seventeenth csntur
showed that he inherited some of h
ancestors vigor, for one day, hearing tha
an enrag d bull had broken loose ant
was in the street, he ran out, and, GRASP
ing it by the leg, threw it down and p,
held ii until the owner was able TO secur,
it.
This doughty son OF the church befo1
amputated for a cancer. Ii was O.
foundt that his thigh bone was sold, WI
no trace of marrow.
1t must be confessed, however, that u
relics OF the Canarians now found in TIL
burying-places do not bear out the info
ence that this was a national character
tic, though their dimension are certain
a testimony OF the strength and size
their late proprietor.

A Scandal Prevented.

WATERBURY, Conn, Jan. 3d. Stories
circulated by Thomas Leary, rejecting Oh
Lieut.. Halpin OF Company G, led to the
arrest of Leary, yesterday, and to a public
retraction by him OF the stories. The

q lively interest in the case, and secured
the denial from Leary, thereby nipping a
scandal in the bud. The matter has been
