ANOTHER NOAH AND HIS ARK.
Warned in a Dream to Prepare for a
Universal Flood.
A dispatch from Boston to tha Now York
World says: There is a strange old man
living on Bear Lake in New Brunswick,
three days’ journey through the woods from
Vanceborough, Mo., who has been told by a
6 pi.-it that there is shortly to lie a second
great flood, in which he is to play the part
of Noah. He has prepared himself with an
ark, which is moored to his little log cabin,
and’is ready to start on a sixty days’ sail at
a moment's notice. A correspondent has
reeentlv sought out the old man’s homo in
the wilderness, and has obtained from him
his story. The name of the prospective
N'oau is John Hobson, and in his early days
he lived in Amity, Me. The Indians about
Bear Lake call him Sagonitu, which, lit
erally translated means, “Cracked on Big
Canoe.”
A liberal construction of the revelation
disclosed to John Hobson is as follows:
“And it came to pass that a spirit whis
pered uuto John Hobson, of Bear Lake, New
Brunswick, saying: ‘ln thou, O John, shall
be conceived the saving of mankind. Fast
approacbeth the star of Bethlehem, bringing
naught hut destruction into the world.
-Too long have the wicked transgressed
the law, and it hath been ordained that they
be destroyed from the face of the earth,
both man and beast, and tho creeping tiling
that cometh with the use of strong waters,
ami tho fowls of the air, for it repeuteth
nature that they were made.
“ ‘But thou, John, hath found grace in her
eyes, and she will protect thee against tho
wind and wave, even as Noah of old was
protected. And sho will save thee from all
harm, for thou art a just man and perfect
in thy generation. From Bear Lake even
unto tho ends of Skhowhegan thou mayst
go in safety, and thou shalt walk with her
and she with thee. A family shalt thou
build up around thee, and for all time man
shall call thee blessed.
“ ‘But my happiness is not yet. Great is
the wickedness of man upon tho earth, and
greater still tho punishment he must meet.
The end of all flesh is before thee, for tho
land is tilled with violence through them.
Make thee an ark of hard woods; rooms
shalt, thou make in it, and shalt pitch It
within and without with spruce gum.
“ 'lie thou content with thine own handi
work, and when the ark shall have been
finished abide near it at peace with all men
until the Spirit ealleth thee again to enter
with all thy goods. But thou shalt take
with thee neither tliy neighbor nor thy
neighbor’s wife, nor his ox nor his ass, nor
anything that is thy neighbor’s.
“ ‘Yet, as thy wife is dead, thou mayst be
lonely; and ns thy children are among the
corrupt of the land and will surely die, go
thou to Bar Harbor, whose mountains rise
from the sea to eastward, and wed the
daughter of some great millionaire.’ ”
The cabin of obi Mr. Hobson is situated in
the centre of a two-acre clearing, and com
mands a view which could hardly be sur
passed in beauty. His personal'appearance
is by no moans striking, and he might easily
be taken for an Assemblyman or a county
supervisor. He dresses in rough, gray home
spun, and wears a broad-brimmed slouch
hat after the fashion of a Mormon elder.
His face is clean sliaven aud sunburned to a
copper color, and Its most prominent fea
ture is a large Roman nose. His forehead
is low and receding. His eyes are a light
blue, aud his hair is almost white. Ho raises
chickens and pigs, and lias three cows and a
team of horses. The Indians frequently
raid his pig-sty and hen-roosts, and keep ins
mind in a constant state of unrest thereby.
The interior of the cabin is rudely furnish
ed with two wooden chairs and a couch,
covered by a horse blanket. A shelf over
the fireplace contains a well-thumbed “Pil
grim's Progress,” a small Bible, two plugs of
tobacco and a cob pipe. The old man said
he had read a great deal and had a good
memory. His wifo,and little daughter Nell
are buried at the foot of a rugged oak on
the banks of the lake. Reclining on the
banks of this lieautiful sheet of water, hard
by the side of the little mounds, tho old
man told the following story of tho revela
tion:
"Last August I was asleep one day upon
this very mound, dreaming of little Nell’s
bright face, when a voice aroused me. I
sut up and looked around. The place was
enveloped in a cloud more dense than fog,
and, though I tried, my eyes were powerless
to penetrate it. A strange feeling of ecstacy
overpowered me. I seemed to catch the
sound of far-away music, grander than any
I had ever heard. It seemed as if the uni
verse had joined in one grand symphony to
hymn tho Creator’s praise.
“And while I listened a voice spake from
the cloud, saying; ‘The end of man cometh
with tho star. Thou art the favored one of
a nation. Build theo an ark as did Noah,
and when the floods begin enter it with all
thy goods. Take thee a wife, lest in thy age
thou be childless.’ And the spirit also told
me how to build tho ark and what to put in
it, aud where to get my wife and all other
necessary particulars. Then tho voice grew
faiuter, until its farewell was said in a
w-hisper. And tho music dulled my mind,
but as it passed gradually away the cloud
dissolved, tho sun shone and I was once
more my human self. I got up and looked
around. It was morning. The fields wero
green and fresh aud tho trees stirred gently
in the breeze.
“I recalled tho spirit's words and wept for
the inevitable ruin of man.”
“What did you do about the ark f” asked
the correspondent.
“I began immediate proportions for build
ing it.” was his answer. “On the other side
of the lake was a scow that hud been used
by lumbermen some years back. I tookmy
horse and rode over to look at it. By meas
urement it was 58 feet long anil had a
breadth of ‘J7 feet. It was sound aud solid,
barring a few of tho upper timbers.
“I look'd tlio whole situation over and
didn’t see a better place to go to work; so
rede hack to the barn and got the mare,
then hitched up the pair aud got a strong
vopo, which was tied to the stern of the
scow. I cracked my whip once and tho
brutes pulled the old hulk clean out of the
water, as easily as if it had been done with
rollers. The bottom was covered with
moss, but the planks were as sound as a nut.
Bo far so good, 1 thought. I didn't have
exactly the stylo of a bow that the spirit
would have preferred me to build, perha|)s,
blit then doubje-endors were common years
ago among New Bedford whalers, aud I
reasoned that they ought to make good
arks if they wore allowable in blubber
huuters. To tell tho truth, I hadn’t a very
deep-seated idea hew an ark ought to look.
The scow in depth was under four and one
half feet. I went to the Bible, thinking I
might get some hints from the plans which
Noah had, hut it wasn’t any use. If Noah
could have built an ark out, of the few
hints which tlio I/<rd gave him he was
smart enough to make a stoaml* >at out ol a
dorv,
“I filially concluded I would deck the
craft over even with the top, and leave- an
entrance well forward. When 1 did tilts I
found I hod a deck the exact dimensions of
the hull. 58 feet long and 27 feet wide. I
counted op the need of considerable deck
room forward, and so planned to put up a
li-'-.i-o that mould extend 4 foot from the
stern edge fat-ward just 20 loot. That would
leave mo a clear space of 1?8 feet to the bow,
broken by nothing except the hatchway
into tho hold. I figured to make the house
20 foot wide. That, you •-.*, would leave
a deck margin on laitb sides of three and a
half feet. When I was a youngster I re
inernlier Seeiug u picture of Noah's nrk that
had u pitch roof. Now, I didnt propose to have
John Hobson play second fiddle to Noah, so
I built mine in the same way. I’d made a
Queen Aune cottage out of it before old
brother Noah should have bettered mo one
penny.
"Before the leaves hail fallen the craft
was l>ack in tho water, her new deck on aud
the house near ly up. 1 found I would have
to divide the latter into two parte and make
ono servo for a stable. Ho I concluded to
give 10 feet to the beasts, reserving!! 10x20-
toot room for my own use. Then I built
stalls for tho mil main and boarded in tlio
little garret overhand, which 1 Ktiiffd full
of hav aud com. You hoc, I didn't know
how much time I would have aftor the
floods eoiumc. need, and I wanted to be ou
the safe side.
“Up to this time I had been at a lcsi to
know how to ventilate the hold. Prettv soon
it occurred to me to cut portholes on the sides
the way I had seen in steamers. I saw no
way out of it and did so. Then I put on my
chicken-coops and penned off a place for
ward for the pigs. I had taken the precau
tion to put all my heavy farm tools on
hoard, as well as a stove which I bought
from a Frenchman for sl.
“When everything was finished I hauled
her up for the winter. She has laid in Sunny
Goto ever since, because I thought she
would not only be mighty heavy to tow
around to the house, but would attract more
attention there than sho would if kept on
the other side.”
The nrk is rough and clumsy in appear
ance and exhibits a sad lack of paint. She
never would be taken for a racer, and her
lines are i>oor compared to those of a dredg
ing scow. The old mail will allow no one
aboard of his craft, because he fears it
would offend the spirit. The only thing
that puzzles Mr. Hobson now- is how lie is to
fulfill instructions and marry a millionaire’s
daughter.
WAGERS.
Big and Eccentric Beta Made by
Wealthy Men for Fun and Money.
From Chambers' Journal.
So far as we can go hack in the world’s
history we find the rage for making wagers
prevalent. The Romans had n great taste
for muking wagers and bets, and they had
a conventional form of ratifying these con
tracts, which consisted in taking from the
finger the ring which the higher classes in
variably wore and giving it, into the keep
ing of some third party.
A wager was made early in the last cen
tury by a banker named Bulliot. He was a
firm believer in the superstition that if rain
fell ou St. Swithin’s day (July 15) it will
also fall, more or less, for forty days aftor.
St. Swithin’s dav in the year 1725 was very
wet; and so Bulliot offered to bet any one
who chase to put down his money that the
next forty days would be rainy. So many
persons showed a desire to take up this wager
that its terms were reduced to writing, as
follows: “If, dating from St. Swithin’s day,
it rains more or little during forty days suc
cessively, Bulliot will be considered to have
gajued; but if it ceases to rain for only one
day during that time Bulliot has last.’’ On
these terms Bulliot betted against all who
presented themselves. He was so confident
of success that he placed money against ar
ticles of value of every description. People
brought gold-headed canes, snuff boxes,
jewels, even clothes; and Bulliot wagered
as much money against them as he consid
ered they were worth. When his stock of
cash came to an end he issued notes and bills
of exchange to such an extent that it was
said he had paper money out to the amount
of 100,000 crowns.
All this naturally excited a great deal of
public curiosity and the rash man found
himself quite fashionable for the time being.
Verses were made in his honor, a play was
produced which had him for the hero; in a
word, he attracted as much attention as
though he were a monarch or famous states
man. But, unfortunately for Bulliot, St.
Swithin was not true to his character. For
tlio first twenty-one days of the stipulated
time more or less rain fell. The twenty
second day, however, was bright and cloud
less, and night came on without there being
the slightest sign of rain. Bulliot was
ruined, and ruined so completely that he
was unable to meet the notes ana bills that
bore his name. The holders of these tried
to enforce payment; but the ancient law did
not recognize debts of this kind any more
than does the law of more modern days.
They were nonsuited aud their debts de
clared irrecoverable.
A foreign prince staying in Paris made a
bet with a member of the Imperial Club
that he (the Prince) would, in the course of
the next two hours, be arrested by the po
lice without committing any offense or pro
voking the authorities in any fashion. The
way ho won his wager was by dressing him
self in a tattered old blouse, a pair of moldy
old boots full of holes, and a disreputable
burlesque of a hat. Thus attired he walked
up to one of the most aristocratic cafes in
Paris and, seating himself at a table, called
for a cup of chocolate. The waiter, as was
only natural, did not care about serving so
suspicious-looking a customer before he was
assured that tho payment would be forth
coming, so he told the Prince he must pay
in advance.
Upon this his highness pulled a bundle of
bank notes out of his pocket and, picking
out ono of considerable value, told him to
take the price of the coffee out of it and
bring back the change. Tlio man immedi
ately went in search of the proprietor of the
cafe, who, when he heard the facts of the
case, ordered the coffee to bo served and, at
the same time, sent to the nearest police
station for a sergeant de ville. The Prince
was, of course, arrested and taken before a
commissary of police. He announced his
rank and told his reasons for assuming such
an unprineely costume. The authorities
were obdurate at first but they finally con
sented to send tho Prince under escort to the
Imperial Club, where the gentlemen with
whom the bot had been made proved his
identity and paid his highness tho money.
A wager was made in 1800 in the Castle
yard, York, between Thomas Hodgson and
Samuel Whitehead as to which should suc
ceed in assuming tho most original charac
ter. Umpires wero selected whose duty it
was to decide upon tho comparative absurd
ity of the costumes in which the two men
appeared. On the apixiinted duy Hodgson
came before tho umpires decorated with
bank notes of various value on his coat and
waistcoat, a row of 5-guinea notes and a
long netted purse of gold round his hat,
while a piece of paper hearing the words
“John Bull” was attached to his back.
Whitehead was dressed like a woman on
one side, one-half of his face was painted
and he wore a silk stocking and slipper on
ono leg. Tlio other half of his face was
blacked to resemble that of a negro; on the
corresponding side of his liody he wore a
gaudy, long-tailed linen coat, and his leg
was cased in hail a pair of leather breeches
with a boot, and spur. Ono would fancy
that Whitehead must have presented by far
tho most singular appearance! The umpires
thought differently, however, and awarded
the stakes to Hodgson.
A notorious gambler of the last century
finally ruined himself by a very extraordi
nary bet. Ho had been playing with Lord
Lome. Their stakes had been very' high
and luck had gone steadily against him.
Exasperated at his losses he jumped upfrom
the card table and, seizing a large punch
bowl, said; “For once I’ll have a bet where
I have a chance of winning! Odd or even
for 15,(100 guineas f" “Odd,” replied the
peer, calmly. Tho bowl was dashed against
the wall and ou the pieces being counted
there proved to lie an odd one. The rash
gambler paid up his 15,0 ff) guineas but, if
tradition be correct, it waS only by selling
the last of his estates that he was enabled
to do so.

BUCHANAN'S rSCAI’K
A Strange Story Brought to Lig’ht
by the Recent Revelations of tho
President of the Late Confederacy
Saratoga Special to Indianap lis Sent
Jefferson Davis’ recent reference to the
two attempts that were made to assassinate
him when ho was the President of tlio
Southern Confederacy, was the subject of
interest last Sunday in a group of army
veterans on the piazza of the Sara tog i
Hotel. In the course of the evening a state
ment was made by one of the speakers
there, which has never till now been put in
print, about a plot that was once laid to
assassinate a President who is supposed to
have pass'd through his term of office with
out a shadow of danger.
“Besides the cases of Garfield and Lin
coln,” he said, “thero was a conspiracy
against President Lincoln’s predecessor in
the White House, James Buchanan. The plot
was hatched during President Buchanan’s
term, in tho year 1858, in Kansas, whore I
was then serving under the gallant Gen.
Sumner, during the border troubles. You
can hardly conceive the intensity of the
hatred for Mr. Buchanan that was felt by
tlio Kansas Abolitionists. It seethed and
raged in their breasts, anil seemed to be un
quenchable. He was held to be tho author
of all the crimes charged against the ‘border
ruffians,’ and all the bloodshed that kept
the settlers of the newly-opened territory
in an uproar. To hear Gen. Jim Lane,
who subsequently became Senator and
committed suicide, after he had slain his
adversary (Cant. Jenkins), declaim against
Buchanan at the meetings of the armed
squatters, was to have your passions
wrought up to madness. In such a state of
things, as a matter of course, there were
desperate men who felt that if Buchanan
could be made away with, Kansas would
fall into the hands of the Abolitionists. The
plot, I said, was hatched in Lawrence. A
sum of money was raised to carry it out,
and a muscular, liard-drinking desperado
who was concerned in it offered to become
tho executioner. In the spring of 1858 this
man made a trip to Washington to see the
‘lay of tlio land, ns it were, and to prepare
for putting into effect his murderous de
sign. He returned to Kansas
in less than a month and reported to
his associates in the plot that 'the
job would be nn easy one; that Buchanan
could he reached without trouble, as he was
in the habit of loitering in the grounds about
the White House, and that he had seen in a
Washington gunsmith’s an air-gun which
was just the thing needed, and that he was
sure he could make his escape after the fall
of his victim and get back to Kansas. Ho
was assured of protection as soon as he got
there, after the execution of his design.
The plot ripened. The day for the deed
was approaching. The desperado drank
heavily as he bided liis time in Lawrence.
A slight incident tlmt came under my no
tice, and a few words that I overheard one
day, put me on the scent, and when I com
municated them to Gen. Sumner at Fort
Riley I was put on special duty to keep a
lookout, and soon found myself employed
as barkeeper for Winchell’S saloon on Main
street, then called Massachusetts street, in
Lawrence. After midnight of one Saturday
the knot of plotters were in the rear room of
that saloon, around a bottle of good rye
whisky, behind a locked door. I learned
their game, and on the following Monday
threw up my place as barkeeper. I left
town. The facts were communicated to the
proper quarters, and I was assigned to the
duty that was made necessary. Some time
in April I got information that the desjierado
was at Leavenworth. We reached Wash
ington almost simultaneously. From that
time he was under my eye. Within two days
he visited the old German’s gun shop, ex
amined the air-gun which no hail pre
viously seen, and which he purchased
for 825. It was put in its caso and sent to
his quarters, which wero within gunshot of
the grounds of the White House. That
afternoon Mr. Buchanan was warned, and
that night the man, who I had ascertained
had been a fugitive from justice, was ar
rested upon an indictment for a felony he
had committed two years before in the Dis
trict of Columbia. My business was ended.
The man was speedily brought to trial on
the old indictment, convicted and ten
tenced to four years in the Albany peniten
tiary. Before he had served out his term
Mr. Buchanan had left the White House,
Abraham Lincoln held tho fort and the
country was under the cloud of war. The
man was a wreck when he came from the
penitentiary. He died soon afterward.”
“Why have you never told these facts be
fore ?” was asked the veteran on the piazza
of the Saratoga Hotel when he had con
cluded his startling narration.
“For the same reason, perhaps,” he re
plied, “that Jefferson Davis did not tell the
story of theattempted assassination till now,
that I did not see any use of it. But I have
all the facts in writing, and they will some
day be found among my papers, by which
time, it is to lie hoped, one or two men, yet
prominent in Kansas politics, will have
passed from the stage.”
James Buchanan, as is well known, was
very apprehensive of danger to his life dur
ing the last years of his presidency. Itad
Lincoln and Garfield been more guarded
than they were against danger, they might
both have escaped the fate that overtook
them. ______________
In tho New South.
From the Boston Journal.
Riding through North Carolina ono day I
noticed in another part of the Pullman car
a young man upon whom the tedium of the
journey seemed to bear heavily. He shifted
his seat often, couldn’t seem to settle down
to reading, and tho country through which
we were passing seemed to have no interest
for him. At last he came over and sut op
posite me. For five minutes ho looked
wearily through the window as if seeking
something he could not find, and then, after
a side glance at me, turned and said with a
tone expressive of utter dejection and hone
sickness, “Do you know, uctually, I ain’t
seen a bog since I left the State of Alahamy.”
I expressed such sympathy for him that lie
gave me his friendship at once; told me that
he was going that night from Atlanta to
Birmingham; that he had a saloon engaged,
half of which he would lie glad to have me
occupy, “and,” he added, .“it shan’t cost
you a cent, either.”
Returning from a drive in the suburbs of
Atlanta I asked the colored driver if a
mounted ninn whom wc saw in the distance
were a policeman.
“Yes, sub,” he answered, aud then, as if
the question Imd suggested the thought, he
said proudly: “fll be S'.) years old next
August boss, and I ain’t never been arrested
yit. ’
I was about to murmur mv eougratula
lions when ho startled me by adding: “And
I ain’t never had but one warrant out agin
me. and then they didn’t, ketch me.”
“How was that?” I asked.
“Well, I kep’ out of the way until the
trial, and then I give myself up in court."
"What were you tried furl”
“Fur shootin’a nigger."
I began to think that my driver was nrt
the innocent lamb his ln-st declarations
might have led me to consider him, so I
asked him about the circumstances of tbo
shooting.
“Well, boss,” iie said, “it was like this.
I was livin' on u plantation, and one day 1
got into a row with another young feller
about a gal. It was in a store, and the first
thing I knew he hit me with a churn handle |
und then I shot him. They got the warrant
out for me, but I wouldn’t a hail any trouble
only the other fellow hadagood many white
Irieiiils aud they pushed the cane agin me.
It C'wt my father t>loo to get me clear.”
“Then you were acquitted!”
“Oh. yes,sail.”
“How was that, when you say you shot
tho man?”
“Oh, yes, I shot him and hit him pretty
hail too, but I got off cm seU-dcfeiiFo;” and
then he added apparently without the least
thought of tlie absurdity of the Idea, "I
wouldn’t ha’ shot him only he started t '
run."
