MURPHY’S STRANGE TRIP. h , 3 waives Down Worth Street and Finds Himself in New Orleans. From the New York Sun. Joseph B. Murphy, a young Yorkville saliKW keeper, disappeared from his home, OU Fast Seventy-seventh street, on Sept. 30. After he had been missing for several days lii> friends visited the morgue and left a photograph °£ him. It represented Murphy a- a supple young man in a bathing suit. •\-sistant Keeper Joe Fogarty took down Murphy’s description as 28 years old, 5 feet 7 inches tail, sandy moustache and light brown hair. Other photographs of Murphy cre distributed at the morgues at Bay Hinge. Brooklyn, Long Island City, White stone, Jersey City’ and Hoboken. Murphy’s friends expected that his body would be yielded Up by' the water, for the reason that jje went in swimming a good deal, often making a long expedition in the water. I lie other day Murphy surprised Joe Fogarty by walking into the morgue and asking for his photograph. The explanation Murphy gave for his absence is a curious story, best told by Murphy himself: •On Tuesday, Sept. 30,” he said yesterday, ■ left my saloon, at Second avenue and Seventy-seventh stree, a few doors from inv house, and called at the Board of Excise t, ee about having my license renewed. I made an appointment w ith the clerk, who lives up my way, to meet him at my saloon at 0 o’clock that evening and give bond there. At about 2p. m. f was standing on the .northwest corner of Broadway and Iwonard street thinking about whether I would avail my'self that afternoon of an invitation I had in my pocket front the Henderson Brothers to inspect the This tle. While I stood there an empty truck, drawn by two horses, rounded the curb into ],eonard street. I stood so close to the curb that an iron rung that sat loosely in the tail end of the truck, and pointed outward, hit me ou the left side of the forehead as the truck wheeled by. The blow somewhat stunned me, and I fell over against a young woman whe was waiting to cross the street. J felt some pain in my head, but was not much annoyed by the hurt. I walked down Broadway to Worth street, and stopped there awhile to talk about the accident to my friend Joe O’Toole, who straps packages for Tefft, Weller & Cos. We crossed over to the northeast corner of Broadway and Worth street and had drinks in there. I took a whisky. It was the second drink I had taken that day— both whiskeys. But I did not feel the effect of the Uquor in the slightest. After leaving O’Toole I walked east in Worth street. I think it was then about 3p. m. I remember arriving at Baxter street, but here I lost all track of myself. What hap pened to me during tive days is a blank. I woke up on the evening of ‘Oct. 4 and found myself in the City Hospital in New Or leans. I began to talk, but my male nurse made me keep quiet. I soon fell asleep again, and woke up the next morning feel ing that my head was freezing. I found that ice was packed around my head. That day 1 began to feel like myself, and was (old that I was well enough to leave the hospital. They said I had been sent to them from a police court, where I had been arraigned for drunkenness, but the Judge had said that I was not intoxi cated, but appeared to be drugged, and needed medical treatment. My hip was bruised, and I had a faint recollection of being clubbed by a policeman. I had left home with $lB7, but there was not a cent in my clothing. My ring was not on my finger. The single article in my pocket was a key ring. I told my story to the hospital au thorities, but they seemed to discredit it, I suppose because I looked so shabby. They told me that I had been sick with conges tion of the brain. I made my way to the docks and looked for a chance to work my passage to New York on a steamer. None would sail for two days, and as I was with out a cent I coul<ji not afford to wait. I got a chance to unload freight from a river boat going to St. Louis, and sailed that night. My fellow workmen were four negroes. I had put myself on their level, and they tried to put me lower still. At Arkansas City they tried to kill me by dropping a box on me, but I was took quick for them. We were five days making the trip. At St. Louis I was paid $lO. The negroes got S2O each. I broke my $lO bill buying a postage stamp, with which I mailed to my wife a letter I had written on the boat. ” Then I went to a hotel. That night I was taken sick. My head was dizzy, and the hard ships of the voyage had used me up. In a few days I had a letter from my wife. It contained both good and bad news. It said we had a baby, and that my saloon had been sold out to satisfy a creditor, whom I owed $Bl. I was pretty sick in St. Louis, but ou Sept. 10 1 felt well enough to leave. Ttie motion of the cars made havoc with my still dizzy head, and I had to return very slowly, making stops at Weedsport, Cincinnati, Buffalo, Cairo, and Jamesport. I arrived home a week ago last Thursday. lam better now, but I still feel occasionally a ringing sound in my head where I was struck by the rung. Now and then the bones seem to click together. My physician, Dr. Robert F. Chapman of East One Hundred and Sixteenth street, is giving me medicine, and he says that when I get cured 1 will recollect all of my adven ture. He explains that the blow I received caused blood to congeal in my head, and I did the thing that was ou my mind at the moment. He thinks that at the moment I lost conscious ness New Orleans was either in my thoughts or I saw New Orleans displayed on a sign board at which I happened to be look ing.” A PRINCE IN DISGUISE. A Detroit Man Finds That He Is Right fully an Italian Nobleman. From the Philadelphia Press. Detroit, Oct. 1. —Arthur J. Barnes, 47 years old, a Methodist churchman in good standing and a reputable gentleman, has caused a sensation by a curious story which iie made public to-day. Ho has lived in De troit for twenty-five years, and is a man of swarthy complexion,tall and angular, black side whiskers and hair slightly silvered, and looks much like au Italian, which ho says he is. “Until IwasSl years old,” said Mr. Barnes, “I thought I was the son of the Englishman aud woman who hail brought me up. Then they thought proper to tell me vvlio.l was. It is from their accounts, verified by his torical data and circumstances occurring ou the trip I very recently made to Italy, that I made up my biography.” Mr. Barnes says that he is Lucian I lament Camesia, son of the Prince of that name living in Italy in 183*5. Italy was then torn asunder by internal and external discord. His uncle, Mazzini, was the recognized head of the party known as “Young Italy” until Gari baldi succeeded him. In 1832 Barnes’ father was made prisoner by conspirators, who beheaded him just six months before young Carnesia’s birth. This took place ou shipboard on the British war ship Halcyon, to which his mother had es caped, aud where during an engagement she was hit by a shell and killed. The child was taken to England and adopted by a family named Burret, who were paid X. 50 a year for his care. The Burrets went to Australia, wore shipwrecked and cast on a small island, taken off in an American whaler and landed at Prince Edward’s Island. The Burrets then settled in Mon treal. Thence they went to California and later to Cuba 'The "overland train to the Pacific win attacked by Indians, who were beaten off, and another shipwreck occurred on the voyage to Cuba. This family finally located in Toronto, Ont., where young Carnesia was told the story of his birth, lie married in Toronto and caiueto Detroit, taking the name of Barnes. He recently thought ho would in vestigate the storv of his parentage, and went to Italy, where lie proved his iden tity, but, prof erring to live here, he re turned.

Their Adaptability to AH Climates and Conditions. It has frequently been remarked, says the Jeicish World, that the Jewish raco has a wonderful power of adaptation to all cli mates. Jews are found in all parts of the globe, and seem to possess a remarkable fac ulty for acclimatization, even under the most unfavorable circumstances. Mesopo tamia is considered the mother coun try of the Abrahamic family', as well as the cradle of the human race Some years ago a small colony of Jews were found in the ancient city of Sennar, in the south of Mesopotamia, and in the vicinity of ancient Babylon. Of the seventy families composing the colony, one claimed to be descended from King Joachim, the rest from the house of Levi. A colony of Jews appear to have settled in China about the beginning ot the third century of the Chris tian era, under the dynasty of Han. In 1704, Father Gouzani, a Roman Catholic missionary, found seven Jewish families near Pekin. In 11580 a Portuguese Jew of Amsterdam, named DePavia, discovered a sect of Jews in Cochin, China. According to a tradition preserved among them, they were descended from a tribe of Jews who bait quitted Palestine on the destruction of the second temple. From their long residence in Cochin they had becomo completely bronzed. These are not the same as the Malabar Jews. The Jewish traveler, Ben jamin, sometimes called Benjamin the Sec ond, discovered a colony of jews, evidently of Persian origin, in Hindoostan. They were known as “Babylonian Jews,” on account of their having migrated from Babylonia. They observed the essential rites of Judaism, and strictly avoided inter marriage with other sects. In the begin ning of the seventeenth century a Jewish colony settled in Cayenne, in the West Indies, one of the most inhospitable cli mates in South America. Cayenne was subsequently conquered by the French, who made a penal settlement, and the Jewish colony was forced to retire to Surinam. Notwithstanding frequent persecutions Jews are still found in Persia, more especially to the south of the Caspian sea, where the soil is very fertile, but the climate very unhealthy. The principal city is Balprosh, where about 150 Jewish families reside in almost complete isolation. They trade with their brethren in Great Tartary, and are engaged in the wool and silk trade, or In the sale of citrons. They', too, trace their origin to the Babylonian captivity, for, according to a tradition still possess**! among them, their ancestors settled in Per sia in the time of Nebuchadnezzer, and did not respond to the appeal of Ezra to return to Palestine. Their mode of life resembles that of the Persians in general. They hold tho beard in high esteem and woar long flowing robes. They have several synagogues and obtain scrolls of the law from Bagdad. The celebrated African traveler, Mungo Park, found a colony of Jewish families in the heart of Africa, about 800 miles from the coast. It is, no doubt, this peculiarity of the Jewish race which in duced a French writer on “Medical Geogra phy” to express the opinion that “it is ques tionable whether the crossing of human varieties confers on the issue constant ad vantages in relation to the species, for the Jewish race seems in a wonderful manner capable of adapting itself to every change of climate, while others are scarcely able to bear the least change.” The Jew is found in every part of the world; in Europe, from Norway to Gibral tar; in Africa, from Algiers to the Cape of Good Hope; in Asia, from Cochin to Cau casus; from Jaffa to Pekin. He has peo pled Australia, and has given proof of his jiowers of acclimatization under the tropics, where people of European origin have con stantly faffed to perpetuate themselves. The Greatest Woman in the Country. From the Files (Mich.) Democrat. Some weeks since we promised, if possible, to obtain an account of the work done by one of our Michigan ladies in one y'ear. This lady is Mrs. Catherine Carberry and the record from fall of 1885 to fall of 1886 is substantially as follews, in her own concise language: “Shelled fifty-five bushels of corn and put it in the bin. Got home 6,300 pounds of coal aud put it in the bin. Trimmed eighty rods ot fence and burned most of the brush. Sheared eight sheep. Dropped eleven acres of corn and helped cover it. Worked three acres of corn, plowed it five times, and hoed it once. Topped it and hauled the fodder to the barn. Snapped tho corn and took it to the barn, where my hnsband, 86 years aid, husked it. It made 105 bushels in tho ear I gathered my pumpkins and dug my potatoes and got fifteen cords of wood in the shed and piled it up. Gathered my apples and put thorn in the cellar. Took my cider apples to the mill and brought back five barrels of cider. Took one load to the eider mill and sold them. 1 spaded up the ground and planted aud worked my garden. Moved twenty rods of rail fence and helped move twenty more. “I cut and made my husband one coat, and cut and made a vest and pants and four shirts, and hemmed three pocket handker chiefs for him. Made myself six dresses (three nice ones and three common ones), nine aprons, one polonaise, eight pair of pillow-cases, four sheets and hemmed twelve napkins. “There are 223 pages in the old testament, and I read 619 pages, besides religious and other pa pel’s, and kept a diary of the weather and my work, and an account of what we bought and sold, with day aud date. Did my housework and took care of my stock—three horses, three head of cattle, eight sheep and fifty hens —aud raised a pet cat.” Mrs. Carberry is 64 years of age and weighs but 25 pounds. She retires each night at 10 o’clock and rises at 4 o’clock each morning, and takes no naps between times. In addition to the above, the lady has taken care of au invalid husband and done many things unmentioned in this account, and among them wo may mention that she has taken and paid for in advance the local papers, and has honorably paid every cent for everything she has bought. This is a woman's work, and the story is sufficiently commendable to make many a man blush for shame. Few there are who have so fully followed the admonition, “Whatsoever He saith unto you, do it.” An Irishman Mistakes Methodist Class Meeting for a Maas Meeting. From the Colonel. The old style of Methodist class meetings has not exactly gone into “innocuous desue tude” in Texas, but it is not as prevalent ns it was in “olden times.” Then you would find one going on every Sunday morning, and every school house or church iu each small town, city, hamlet or neighborhood had its class meeting, or “experience meet in’,” as thev were more frequently called. And the habit of getting together and tell ing each other of their shortcomings, aud of their trials and temptations and general moral life had a good effect and seemed to make every one bettor, and encourage them, and show them that there were others that sympathized with them in every trial and rejoiced with them in triumph. One morning, not tar from where stands the flourishing town of Kyle, a strolling Irishman found himself seated in a little slr d-roof house listening to the experience of a lot of the faithful. Of course Mike was astonished and listened alone in shunt wonder, t ill a young brother got up, who was rather bashful, aud began: “I have married me a wife, brethren, anil—” “Tho divil he have!” said Mike, which caused a momentary titter; but the young brother recovered and continued: “I’ve married me a wife and I am glad to say she is a daughter of the Lord. ” Mike could stand no more. He shouted: “Arrah! sit down, ye galoot! Sure, ye'll niver see voua father-in-law.” Amid a roar .’like was put out. He took it for a political meeting.
