A travelling circus recently paid Wis

offered prize to the man who could,
as the Lancastrians term it, pull tn

The rules laid down were that eacn
person should have three tries. Conse.
quently competition ran high. some Oh
the contortions were horrible TO penoiu.
After all had done their level best TO
win the prize the clown, who acted as
n iudpe for the competitors, coolly con-
fronted a man sitting in the audience,
who was noted for his ugliness, and
said: :,
"Tha's won tn prize, ovid mon.

nal. "Wha, aw worn't tryin fort.

The oueen,s watermen.

To most people, probably, the very ex-
istence Of such body as the queens water
men is unknown. The uniform consists
of a scarlet jacket, with royal badge back
and front, waistcoat, breeches and stock
ings, with low shoes and black cap re-
sembling that worn by the band of the
First Life guards. The queen has never
used the royal barges, which are under
the care of Mr. Messenger of Teddington,
in his capacity of queens bargemaster.
These vessels are divided longitudinally
by a gangway, the oarsmen sitting two on
a seat on either side, as in the ancient
Greek and Roman galleys and the more
modern convict survivals. -London Tit

Hanged Man Resuscitated.

An extraordinary case Of tenacity
of life is reported from Bardo. A
native named Benzenti, says Dalziel
was sentenced to be hanged for the
the murder Of 4 of his co.religionists
and the execution, which was fixed
for the 9Th inst, was duly carried
out, and the body was left hanging
for some considerable time after
wards. Presently the corpse was
cut down, and after being washed
and otherwise prepared for inter
ment, was placed in coffin. Just
before the lid was placed on it the
man opened his eyes. Then with
considerable difficulty he struggled
into sitting posture and remarked
that he would like something to
drink before they buried him. The
witnesses of this extraordinary scene
were terror-struck, and with loud
screams fled as for their lives. Their
cries attracted the attention of the
governor of the prison, who ordered
Benzenti to be conveyed to the hos
pital, where he was completely
brought back to life by the doctor.
The interesting question now arises
whether a second attempt ought to
be made to carry out the sentence,
seeing that he was already supposed
to be dead when cut down.

Loochop, China, is excited over
the recent appearance on her streets
of a microscopic prodigy in the per-
son of dwarf, who appears to be
about fifty year Of age, but who is
only twenty inches in height. He
has long gray beard, which almost
reaches the ground. and talks several
Chinese dialects quite fuenly. He
says he is from "the kingdom of the
dwarfs by the western ocean," but
further than that no one knows any
thing about the prodigy.

Every person in this country
down TO the pulpit duster OF the
Friend, must be we'll informed Of
OF how the Star man expounds his
sermons in perfect harmony with
the teachings OF old Ananias, in sup
port of this oligarchy, will now see
that the Star will have to down
breaks and pass the ticket to the
Advertiser. For the suavity OF
manner and style Of the leader,
headed "a Clean Government" in
the Advertiser OF Sept 25, throws
the Star completely off the track
and places it as far to leeward in
art as man trying to reach Klon
dyke in midwinter barefooted. The
Advertiser man must have been in a
peculiar kind OF mood when he
penned the article referred to,
ana could not nave recognized at
the time, the enormity of his de-
pravity, A long race in falsehood
must in the natural course Of events
recoil on the head of the falsifier.
The troubled spirits of this little
oligarchic corporation, may regret
in the near future, that they allowed
the Star to circular broadcast the
base falsehood, that Claus Spreckels
had sent "mlion dollars" to bride
Hawaiians against signing their
names in favor OF annexation. A
wide awake reporter came here with
the four representatives, and accom-
panied them wherever they went,
taking down their remarks in full,
and also returned with them to
California, and most certainly
pumped them to the bottom. Time
brings to the surface and exposes
falsehood and perfdy in all its
hideous deformity CHEoPs.
