A QUEER CHARACTER.

John Robbins Lives the Year Round In
an Old House at Black Point.
One of the many queer characters
with which Connecticut abounds Is John
Robbins, better known as the Hermit OF
Black Point As the story runs, he was
disappointed early in life, and because
of it has become a confirmed misan-
thrope. His aversion to society IS not
confined to the fair sex, but with the
passage of years has extended to his
masculine brethren, until now he IS all
the sobriquet he bears implies.
His habitation the year round Is an
old house boat moored off Black Point,
where he remains constantly, never APP
pearing on shore except on rare occa-
sons, when he disposes of the oysters he
raises in some beds he owns, and by
means of which he supplies himself with
the necessaries of life.
His personality is something OF which
none can speak, since none know him,
but he is described as quiet and peace
able. Friends, he has none, nor ac-
quaintances, but is seemingly content
with his own society. OF the furniture
of his home as little is known as of
himself.
None have ever visited him there, and
his life, while as simple and open as
that of any ordinary citizen is like a
sealed book to the rest of the world
Even his age is unknown, but from APP
pearances it is thought that he is some
what past middle life.-NeW London

Detroit, Mich, Nov. 5.-Wah Lee Is
a resident at Ann Arbor He has a
brother living somewhere in Canada
he says, and is DESTROYS of renewing
fraternal ties by paying visit to the
brother across the boundary. Most
men having such an inclination would
simply pack a clean collar and tooth
brush in a small valise and jump on
the next train, but Wah Lee is unlike
other men. He is a Chinaman, and as
such has to follow out different
course.
Although Wah Lee has a certificate
of residence granted by United States
Commissioner Graves some years ago
he neglected to make application for
a certificate from the internal revenue
collector, prior to May 5, 1892, the date
designated as the limit for receiving
such applications. In consequence OF
this, Wah Lee finds that his intended
visit must be postponed if not wholly
given up. He has been in Detroit con.
sulting with Commissioner Graves and
other federal officials.
