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 jiued the church last spring, and the minister said. “You must go home now', Brother Billins, and erect a fam ily alter iu your own house.” Where upon the egrejis old ass went and bilt a reg’lar pulpiit in bis sittiu room. He had the jiners iu his house, over four days. lam 5(5 (SG) years of age. Time, with its relentless scythe, is ever busy. The Old Sexton gathers them in--lie gathers them in! I keep a piig this year. I don’t think of anything more, Mr. Editor. If you should give m3' portrait in connection w'ith 1113' Bogfry, please have me engraved in a languishiu’ at titood, leanin’ on a marble pilliar, leavin my back bair as it is now. Truty yours. Artemas Ward. 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. $2.50 A YEAR. 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.”
