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."
