A MODERN SAMSON. Cherokee
County, Alabama, has q muscular pro-
digy before whom either Mitchell or
Corbett might be made to bow, if ac-
edtnts about him are true. His name
is Joe CLANCY and he weighs only 150
pounds. He was arrested recently and
~incarcerated in the Jail at Centre,
charged with burglarizing u store at
Leesburg, Ala. AS soon as they put
him in jail he brokesthe door open and
came out. They then chained him. sup
pOsedly. fast to the floor and q powerful
chain vas locked close about his neck
and fastened to the floor, but before
tho jailor could arise to survey the job,
the prisoner had bursted the chains
asunder and stood erect also. Some of
his feats of skill and strength are
bursting dungeon locks, pulling chains
apart, drawing iron Spikes from the
walls ard breaking bars. 1t is said he
can break the bars Of the dungeon
windows as easily as If they we're
toothpicks anu can pull a heavy chain
in twain with the ease that an ordi-
nary man can u silken cord. 1t is
stated that he does not appear to use
his strength for the purpose Of escap-
ing, but that he has threatened that if
they convict him in the case against
him he will free the world of some
body's presence before he leaves IL.

HOAX From PARrs

a HOAX FROM PARrS.-Several
weeks ago there appeared in the
columns of The Chicago Heraldftsdnrd
story about a Russian princess DYING
in Paris and being put in ~aSscrystal
coffin occupying q handsome vault to
herself. The story went on to say that
in her will she left 81, 900, 600 to the
man who would spend a. year ia her
tomb. He was to have one hours ok
except the servant who brought his
meals. 1t said that many had tried it.,
but few stayed in over two weeks. One
stayed six months and came out O. raw
ing lunatic.
This story excited several youngmen
of Rome, Ca, and it led to a letter be-
ing sen to Mr.. Clyde Shropshire, OF
Paris, asking him of the story. Here
is an extract from his reply
The story which you copy from
The Chicago Herald in regard to the
million-dollar prize to Zoe won by the
candidate who will remain for one year
in the tomb of the dead princess, lying
in a cemetery here, is not new to me.
1t is the greatest hoax ever %perpetrat-
ed upon a credulous people, and not
only to America, but into every tongue
and to every cline has this most
ridiculous and absurd story gone. 1t
has been published in papers all over
the world and the letters received daily
by the municipal authorities in tho
~neighborhood of the cemetery in Paris
are more than one man could read in q
month. 1t requires extra mail car
riers to deliver the letters and the
annoyance has grown to such proper
! tions that the authorities have petition
ed the papers to publish and spread
abroad contradictions of the hoax. You

Farm Mortgages in the United State.

The United States census for 1890
embraces q report on the amount of
mortgage Indebtedness upon the farms
in every State in the Union. A care
full study Of this report furnishes some
very interesting lessons. In the first
place, we find, that the ~mortgaged
farms constitute but one-fourth of the
total number of farms in the United
States, the other three-fourths being
owned free of incumbrance. The
average mortgage represents one-third
of the value of the farm upon which it
is given but the total amount of farm
mortgages represents but %one-fourth
the total value Of all our farms.
Out of every hundred farms, seventy
two are fully paid for and unincumber-
ed, and t~wenty-cight are mortgaged.
Fouriffths of the amount of debt on
farms and homes was incurred to buy
andsimProYekthe property. Probably
nO.other industry in America carries
Izanything like so small proportion of
|iadebtedness, and it shows a crafty
ACKNOWLEDGMENT agricultural in
terests. Tt shows that there is no
danger of our magnificent domain
being "gobbled up" by the much
dreaded capitalists and Our farmers re-
duced to u condition of serfdom, as our
polltlclanS so SllDly proclaim from the
political stump when they T. wanting
an Office. The average amount of in
terest carried by these mortgages is I
per cent. In South Carolina, 8 per
Eeent. only of the farms are mortgaged.
-One-third of this 8 per cent. of farms
was mortgaged for purchase money of
the, farms, leaving Only about s per
cent. mOrtgaged for other purposes.
So we see that n~inety-two farms out OF
