IV illajpooc hee News: Within one mile of
our town lives a man whose life has been a
remarkable one, and full of adventures and
hair-breadth escapes. When a small boy
he was uttuckod by a ferocious tiger and torn
and bleeding was left for dead in the woods,
but be recovered and went home. After
this he hart one hand crushed off in a cane
mill. Then ho was bitten by a rattle snake,
next he killed a man in self defense,for which
ha was convicted and served a term in the
penitentiary. Lost m the woods, he had
neon made to endure the hooting of night
owls and the poisonous bites of the gaili
nipper, and often forced to camp in the
forests of South Florida at nights, lias had
to meet and oppose almost every enemy of
man, trom the detestable sandfly to the
savage bear. Yet he stili lives, and,
although he is advanced in years, is as
supple and lively as most young men. His
name is J. M. Hightower.
Some time ago Mrs. Sigmund of Atlanta
■was injured in some way through the street
railway company. She employed J. J.
Key to represent her in a suit for'damages,
but subsequently compromised with the
street car company for SSO. The compro
mise left the lawyer out in the old, so far
as his bill was concerned, and a case called
Wednesday was to compel the defendant
company to pay him a ju3t fee, on the
ground that a settlement by them with
Mrs.Kigtnuud without consulting him after
his employment by her was wrong aud in
equitable. but the interesting feature qf the'
case was in the fact that it was the first
suit Mr. Key had over had iuthe city court,
or any other court higher than a justice
court. He mentioned this fact to the jury,
and it probably had its effect, for a verdict
of SSO; was returned in his favor. Withal,
a pretty snug fee, and that the first fee he
ever earned in a county court.

A MARVELOUS BPELLBB.
Ha Can Spell Big Vtorda Backward
Like Lightning.
FrovytUe Sew York World.
_ A young and hard-working editor man
"bought Be had discovered me greatest
orthographical champion of the century a
couole of days ago. Among the sUx& of
letters from “Enragod and Verbose Tax
payer,” “Downtrodden but Infuriated
Vi ter,” and others of their kind was one
that bore in every line the imprint of
modesty and honest worth. Here is aa
accurate production of it:

Mr. Editor: I wish to Inform you About my
Spelling tmekwards. I ''an Spell uny word
backwards that I can Spell forwards, and it
Comes As natural As Can be. 1 have been
thinking About suiting to you fora long time,
so lmally I got at it. i will give you Some of
my easy words, au<l then if you have a mind to
you tAn put it in the Sunday World, for Inst.;

P. S.—Excuse paper.
Matteawan, t>. Y., Feb. 19, 1890.
The editor gave the letter to one of the
World reporters, and urged him to lose no
time in hunting up F. J. M. and giving him
a chares to demonstrate his ability as a
rapid-firing and reversible speller. Bo the
reporter got on an early train ye-terd ly
and went to Matteawan, N. Y. Mr. Vaude
water pondered a long time over the hand
writing on his bill-head, and finally cume
to the conclusion that it was the work of
Mr. Frederick J. Mitchell, a talented young
mau who had worked for him some months
ago. “He’s a wonderful speller and no mis
take,” said Mr. Vandewater enthusiasti
cally. This utterance proved true later on,
but in a different way from what Mr. Van -
dewa#r meant.
The visitor soon found Mr. Mitchell’s
home, a pretty white bouse in a side street.
But here urose anew difficulty. Mr.
Mitchell’s wife was at home, and so was his
charming little daughter, but the reversible
spoiler himself was working in bis father’s
wheelwright shop in Fishkili village, half a
and zen mi‘es away, painting some wagons
aud carriages John Mitchell bad just built.
He wasn’t expected home for a couple of
days.
Mrs. Mi chell wasn’t a bit surprised to
find that her husbauilL fame had reached
New York. “He's about the beStspeller
around here,” si.a said, with the air of one
who announces a time-worn truth. “Spell
ing comes very easy to him. And it's just
as easy fur hirn to spell words backwards—
big words, too, like Brinckerhoffville or
Sa:i Francisco.”
Hurely this was too great a man to lose.
Here was one who could discount Noah
Webster at his own game. The visitor had
a consultation with the owner of a spirited
but speed-hating horse, and ppesently
he was being whirled, slowly but surely,
over muddy roads to the boss speller from
Spellersville. Vj ithin one brief hour the
young man found himself face to face with
F, ed J. Mitchell.
The champion speller held a jagged pioce
of window glass in his left baud. It was
covered with red paint, into which the
speller often dipped a long, thin brush of
flue camel's hair. With this brush he
painted attenuated but cheerful stripes on
the shafts and thills of anew black buggy.
Mr. Mitchell talked about his prowress add
kept on painting red stripes at the same
time, thereby showing a truly great and
well regulated mind that could attend to
two things at once. The red paint emitted
a strong odor of turps, but took no other
part in the conversation.
“I don’t know when I first found out 1
could spell so well,’; said Mr. Mitchell mod
estly, as he laid on the flat color f ster and
faster. “It’s a groat many years ago. I
was quite a youngster. I never won a spell
ing-match as I can remember, but I could
always spell backward better than any
body I kuow. Just seemed, to come natural.
1 never took no especial pains to do it. I
liked it and I did it. Can you say the
alphabet backward? No? Why, that’s
easy. E-y-x-w-v-u-t-s-r-q-p-c-n-m-l-k-j-i-h
--g-f-c-d-e b-a!
"Great Scott!" ejaculated the visitor,
piously, as the letters nattered out in a
gathng-guu volley, “don’t let that happen
again."
"It’s just as easy as that to spell words
backward if you’ve only got the gift. Now
you ain’t got the gift, so of course you
can’t. Now, there’s New York city. It’s
nothing but y-t-i-o”
“Hold on a bit,” interrupted the visitor.
“Spell ‘syllogism’ backward.”
Mr. Mitchell stopped painting the hills
red and looked pained. "M-s-i-g-o-double
-1-i-g,” he repeated very slowly. Then be
tackled “theosophy” and got it right, after
his visitor had spelled it twice forward very
slowly. Next he tackled “syndismiology.”
After five attempts aud much prompting
by the questioner, the speller gave its re
verse effect like this: “Y-g-o-l-o-rp-g-d-i-s
say-ain’t-that-a-jawbreaker 1”
Next he tried “hemorrhage” and got it
right in two slow trials. Then “phthisic”
fell an easy victim to Mr. MitcheU’s fatal
gift, “Anthrisiß,” “faufarronade,” “hy
drocephalic” and “therapeutics" were pro
pounded in close order.
“Spell ’em forward,” urged Mr. Mitchell
appealingly.
The visitor did so, going over each slowly
in turn. The backward speller grew very
backward.
“What a lot of jawbreakers you’ve
brought up from New York,” he ejaculated
feebly a* he shook his head. “They do
seem to go right.”
“Try these,” said the relentless visitor.
“Spell ‘anathema,’ ‘iibbernaiaossy,’ ‘pro
phylactic,’ ‘gargoyle,’ ‘ierhosaurian,’ ‘ipe
cacuanha’ aud ‘pbenakisloscope’ backward,
if you please.”
“YVki&t a lot of jawbreakers they are,”
said Mr. Mitchell reflectively, as ho wagged
bis head, meaning thereby that he hadn’t
the faintest idea of trying to spell any of
the words iu any way. “You see I’m
nervous to-day, aud not in any kind of
shape. Besides, you’ve come at me with a
lot of jawbreakers I never heard of before.
Now, tbere’s ‘gravel,’ -for instance. That’s
•l'b-v-a-r-g’ spelled backwards. I can spell
that out quickly, or ’most any word when I
am all ready for it; but you caught me un
prepared. Tell you wuat I’ll do, though.
If there’s any one thinks he’s the champion
at spelling words backwards offhamt I'll
challenge him for anything he’s a mr„d to
put up. I'll bet 1 can beat him, too.”
By this time the World man had started
for home and Mr. Mitchell had once mere
begun to put rod stripes on the new black
buggy, Ha looks like a good speller. His
forehead is broad, high and bulging, with
signs of intellect and an early spring. 110
is 37 years old and doesn't look more than
30. He weighs a,bout 140 pounds, and his
mustaejie is brown, with u Titianesque sug
