institutions altogether. It has no fear of knaves,
and asks no favors from their supporters.
It reports the fashions for the ladies and the mar

The Hercules of New York.
A MAN WITH ARMS AND LEGS AS HARD AS
OAK PROBABLY THE STRONGEST FAM
LY IN THE WORLD — THE MOTH
ER LIFTS OVER 200 POUNDS.
New York can boast of a man far
superior in physical strength to the
great French athlete at Barnuni’s who
is said to be the strongest man in the
world. This New Yorker is Mr. Pat
rick Kelly a liquor dealer iu Front
sheet.
A few days ago a Sun reporter who
had heard of the extraordinary
strebglh of Mr. Kelly, visited his sa
loou. The first thing that attracted
the reporter’s attention on entering
the place was a collection of huge
dui'ib bells lying on the floor in a
corner of the bar-room. The heaviest
of these bells weighed 204 pounds.
Anxious to see the giant who amused
himself with such toys, the reporter
looked around, but saw no giant. He
noticed, however, a very fine looking
man, in his shirt sleeves, conversing
pleasantly with his friends. He turned
out to be the Kelly the reporter was
looking for. He is about thirty years
of age, with regular features, and a
well-shaped head, to which the great
breadth of his shoulders gives a some
what "nail appearance—a peculiarity
in the figures of all very strong men,
and one which has been remarked in
some famous statues. He is about
five feet ten inches in height, and
weighs over two hundred pounds.
From head to foot there is not a par
ticle of loose flesh on the man’s body.
His arm is perhaps more muscular
than that of any living man. In thick
ness it reaches the extraordinary
measurement of seventeen and three
quarters inches. The biceps and tri
ceps stand out in immense knots and
folds, and the slightest movement of
the small and solid hand, seem actu
ally to roll iu waves under the white
skin.’ To take hold of that arm pro
duces a strange sensation. It is so
hard that under the sleeve of the shirt
it feeis like a block of wood. His legs,
too, have the same extraordinary mus
cular development. In fact the man
is all muscles.
Kt ~y wad born in Ireland, and came
to this country several years ago with
his parents. His father, when young,
was also a wonderfully powerful man,
and his mother is perhaps the strong
est woman in New York.
It is not everybody who is able even
to raise from the ground the large
dumb bells of 204 pounds. One eve
ning some young fellows went into
the saloon and commenced tugging
at it. One complained that the place
for the hand was too large, and that
consequently the weight slipped
through his fingers. Auothtr discov
ered that it would not come up be
cause his hand was moist, and after
putting sawdust on the hand he tried
again, but that bell was still mean
enough to stay on the floor. Then
another gentleman tried, and could
lift it with ease only he had a sore
wrist; and the last man of the party
could carry it to the City Hall if he
had no pain iu his back. The scene
amused .Kelly, and as he is fond of
a joke ho called his mother and told
her to take hold of that bell and show
the gentlemen that an old woman was
stronger than any one of them. She
at first refused, but the sou at last
coaxed her to take the dumb-bell.
Then Kelly himself took hold of the
weight, lifted it to his shoulder with
ease, and, continuing the motion,
raised it over his head and finally
tossed it from one baud to the
other.
A short time since Mr. Kelly was
crossing the Hamilton Ferry, ami was
insulted and finally attacked by four
roughs, who undertook the perilous
task of flogging him. He good bu
moredly backed away from them at
first, and skilfully parried all the blows
that were aimed at him. They kept
up the attack, and at last Kelly, losing
patience, knocked them all down by
giving each a slap with his open hand.
They picked themselves up as best
they could, and looked puzzled. One
of them slipped his baud into his
pocket suspiciously as if to draw a
knife. Kelly walked up to him, shook
his fist in his face, dared him to draw
bis weapon, and promised to dash his
brains out if be tried it. The fellow
! did not try, He brought bis band
J empty out of bis pocket. Then Kelly
quick as lightning seized him by the
wrists, placed one across the other,
and held both in one of his iron fists,
and before he had time to struggle,
seized him by the belt with the other
hand and flung, him more than half
way to the ladies cabin The man
was greeted with a roar of laughter,
in which Kelly heartily joined.
Some of the sporting fraternity tried
to get Mr. Kelly into the ring, but he
stoutly refused to have anything to
'do with that institution.
History of Artemas Ward-
BY HIMSELF.
I was born in the State of Ma : uc,
of parents. As an infant I attracted
a great deal of attention. The nabers
would stand over mv cradle ft r hours,
and say, “How bright that little face
looks! How much it nose!” The
young ladies would carry me round
in their arms, saying, “I was inuzzers
bezzy darlin,” and a sweety, ’eety, ’it
tle tii g.” It was nice, though I wasn’t
old enough to properly appreciate it.
I am a healthy old darling now.
I have allers sustained a good mor
al character. I never was a railroad
director in my life.
Altho’ iu early life I did not invari
ably confine myself to the truth in
any small bills, I have been gradooaliy
growing respectable r and respectabler
ev’ry year. I luv iny children, and
never mistake another man’s wife for
my own. lam not a member of any
meetiu’ bouse, but firmly b’leeve in
meeting houses, and shouldn’t fee!
safe to take a dose of ladanum and
lay down in the street of a village
that hadn’t any, with a thousand del
lars in my vest pockets.
My temperament is bilious, altho’ I
am an early riser; but my wife is a
Presbyterian. I may add that lam
bald-headed. Ikeptwo cows.
I live iu Baldinsville Indiany. My
next-door uabor is old Steve Lillius.
I’ll tell jou a little story about old
Steve that will make you larf. lie

Senator Norwood.
Tlee St. Louis Globe pays this high
compliment to Senator Norwood and
his speech:
None the less keenly sarcastic, none
the less merciless iu its irony, none
the less skillful in its analysis, none
the less powerful in its logic and over
whelmniug in its groupings of law,
precedent, historical research and
acute human observation is the speech
which the whole Senate listened to in
awe, surprise and delight, and which
was afterwards the talk of Washing
ton city for a week. The South has
but few to plead her cause at the Na
tional Capital, but surely this last
measure —the civil rights bill, as it is
called —the dying bequest of a man
who has done more to destroy the
Union, corrupt patriotism, and make
Americans loathe and despise the very
name of a Republic that all the Puri
tans and all the euuuchs, and all the
barren women that ever came out of
Massachusetts combined —will not be
forced upon the country under the
keen spur of partisan necessity. liut
whether the civil rights bill passes or
does not pass, the country owes a debt
of gratitude to Senator Norwood for
a speech which will do probably as
much to stem the tide of fanaticism
still running high at Washington as
any that could possibly be made after
months of preparation, study and fin
ish. It exhausts the subject. It is
keen and merciless, but the nicer was
a dreadful one, and the knife had to
go to the hilt.
How to Preserve a Bouquet. - When
you receive a bouquet sprinkle it light
ly with fresh water; then put it into a
vessel 'containing some soapsuds,
which nourish the loots and keep the
flower as good as new. Take the
bouquet out of the suds morning
and lay it sideways in fresh water, the
roots entering first into the water;
keep it there a minute or two, then
take it out and sprinkle the flowers
lightly by the hand with pure water
Replace the bouquet in the soapsuds
and the floweis will bloom as fresh as
when gathered. The soapsuds need
to be changed every third day. By
observing these rules, a bouquet may
be kept, bright and beautiful for at
leant one moth, aud will last longer in
a very passable state; but the atten
tion to the fair but frail creatures, as
directed above, must bo strictly ob
served, or the “last rose of summer"
will not be “left blooming alone,” but
will per.sb.— Artisan.

Scholastic.
Speaking of grammar, the following
conversation is said to have occurred
in a railroad car recently betw’eeen a
young lady teacher, who also writes
for the , and an old gentleman
who had a notion that he could speak
the English language:
Old Gentleman—“ Are there any
houses building in your village ?”
Young Lady—“No, sir. There is a
new house being built for Mr. Smith,
but it is the carpenters who are build
ing."
Gentleman—“ True: I sit corrected.
To be building is certainly a different
thing from to be bciug built. And
how long has Mr. Smith’s house been
being built
Lady —[looks puzzled a moment and
then answers rallier abruptly.) “Nearly
a year."
Gentleman —“How much longer do
you think it w ill be being built ?”
Lady—( explosively.) “Doi.’t know."
Gentleman—“l should think Mr.
Smith would be annoyed by its being
so long being built, for tLo bouse be
now occupies being old, he must leave
it, and tho new one being only being
built, instead of being built as he ex
prected, be can not—”
Here the gentleman perceived that
the lady had disappeared.
One Idea of Poverty.
It was Bulwer wdio said in nine
casts out of ten poverty was only an
i lea. Some men with ten thousand
dollars a year for the want
of means than others with threo hun
dred. The reason is, tho rich man
has artificial wants. His income is
ten thousand a year, and he suffers
enough from being dunned for unpaid
debts to kill a sensitive man. A man
w'ho earns a dollar a da3’, and who
does not run in debt, is the happier of
tho two. Very few pteople who have
never been rich will believe this, but
it is true. There are thousands and
thousands with priucely incomes who
never knew a moment’s peace, because
they lived beyond their means. There
is really more happiness iu tho world
among working pieopile, than among
those who are called rich—always
pnoviding that poor folks do not iu a
smaller way emulato the prodigality
of their rich brethern. * Poverty is
simply the question of the good or bad
management of money in hand.
Smithson’s Experience with a
Bull.
A Massachusetts farmer says: “My
cattle will follow me until I leave the
lot, and on the way up to the barn
yard in the eveniug stop and call for
a lock of hay.” Smithson says there
is nothiug at all remarkable about
that. He went iuto a barnyard in the
country one day last week, where he
had not the slightest acquaintance
with the cattle, and an old bull not
only followed him until he loft the
lot, but took the gate off the hinges
and raced with him to tho house iu
the most familiar way possible. Smith
son says he has no doubt that the old
fellow would have culled for some
thing if he had waited for a little
while, but, he didn’t want to keep the
folks waiting for dinner, so he hung
one tail of his coat and a piece of his
pauts on tho bull’s horns and went
iiito tho house.
IfeS” M e have never much favored
corporeal punishment iu schools, but
whether the substitute adopted by a
Wisc’n. teacher is desirable, is a little
doubtful. When a pupil is disobedi
ent, idle, or refactory, ho administers
to the delinquent a dose of castor oil.
The only result of this treatment of
which wo have re port is a pun, strange
ly and fearfully execrable, made by
the editor of the local newspaper. He
says such treatment ought to render
the scholars “dose ’ile.” He evident
ly needs a quart or so himself.
Rather an unfortunate teacher
was that one who, in Haverhill, Mass.,
undertook to chastise a boy pupil.
She found herself unequal to the task,
as the hoy came very near chastising
her. She called in the lad’s father to
assist, and this tremendous youngster
proved too much for both of them.
Milder measures were adopted, and
finally the youth consented to tako
his flogging, if he could have his
choice from a litter of puppies in the
neighborhood.
jgqg- A Connecticut lady remained
too long on a train to kiss female
i friends the other day, and, trying to
get off after it had started, was thrown
on her face. “If ever I kiss anybody
again !” she said revengefully, as she
arose,” “any woman, at least, she ad
ded thoughtfully, “then it will be
when I am ciazy.”
