A HC.jin.y Jliw.-r’u *uib
Tue Cincinnati Enquir e publishes
a remarkable s-ory ot the life of Jerry
fullis, ot that city, who d>ed' Friday
night from sickness caused by lack of
food, and by self-neglect aud expos
ure. Tuliis was worth TJ or
<s3,oJO.Jill) in real estate, bonds, etc.,
most ot which he accumulated by ex
treme economy a>.d close but strictly
honest dealings. lie owned a large
amount of property in Cincinnati,
Chicago and Sr. Louis; was the heav
iest laud owner in Butler, a wealthy
I county adjoining Hamilton. And
owned about one hundred thousand
acres of land in lowa and Missour .
He was very peculiar in bis habits,
buying his clothes only at second
t and and 1 ving at cheap restauran .
lie had been ill for some time before
his death, but refused to employ a
physician on account of expense.—
He was a man of fair education and
had studied law with Mr. Carey of
this City in order to fit himself to at
tend to bis own business and save
attorney’s fees.- He was very eccen
trie and self denying in his habits,
| avoiding sociely r , living in a wretch
j ed, dirty room in an obscure alley, or
in a log hut on one of his numerous
I farms, dressing wretet edly, having
the appearance of a third-rate tramp.
He was unmarried and had few
friends or relatives, He remarked
shortly before his death that he
cared little wi.at became of his prop
erty except that he hoped those who
got it would enjoy spending it as
much as lie had its accumulation.
Filial Affection of the Afukk
dkfs. — In our recent hill warfare w th
the Afreedees, we have been utilizing
some of the native local population
for subordinate garr son duty at the
hill forts. Ti ose locals love fig ting;
that is their cnicf reason for assailing
us ; and if they can be found employ
men to fight for us for money, they
prefer it to fihting against us for love.
An officer on duty a' a fort pointed
out to a sentry a particular native
that had been skulking rouud the fort
all day, evidently wit. no good in
fect. "I see him, sar," said the sen
ry; "I ' ad two shot at him already,
but "e dam hard to hit; he hardest
mnsto hi know!” "Oh ! you know
him, then, do you ?” asked the officer.
"Oh, yes, sar, I kuow the dam rascal
well; I been trying to shoot mm all
t ; ,e week” "Who is ho? AY at's
' is name?" “T e dam old rascal
he my father.” —London Examiner.

A Georgia negro was riding a
mule along and came to a bridge, the
mule stopped.
"I'll bet you a quarter,” said Jack,
“I'll make you go ober dis bridge,”
and with that struck the mule over
the head, which made him nod sud
denly.
"You take de bet den?” said the
negro, and he contrived to get the
stubborn mule over ti e brdge—"l
won dat quarter anyhow,” said Jack.
"But how will you get the money?”
asked a man who had been close by
unperceived.
“To-morrow,” said Jask, “Maasa
gib me a dollar to get corn for de
mule, and I take a quarter out.
A grumbler writes to the lirooklm
Eag t “Last Sunday when subscrip
tions were being received for the li
quidation of t e dept on the Taber
nacle church, a lady sent up a dia
m uid ring. A moment later a poor
old woman declared in a trembling
voice, that if God spared her 1 fe she
would give ten cents a week for six
niontt sto the cause. In the evening
Dr. Talmage told ti e -tory of the
ring, exhibit ng on his finger- But
he said nothing of the poor woman's

Nearly every resident of Mon
tana has either seen or heard ot the
famous Bear Tooth Mountain, the
most prominent landmark in Nort h
era M mtana. It is visible from dif
ferent points; at a distance ranging
from forty to sixty miles, and is in
full view from Helena and the sur
rounding country. The mountain
is distant about thir y mdes from
Helena, and stands like a grim and
mighty sentinel at the end| of the
canyon known as t 1 e Gate ot the
Mountains, through which flows the
Missouri river. The Bear Tooth was
described as a wonderfull landmark
of the early explorers, Lewis and
Clark In all photographs of the
northern country the two tusks, ris- ;
iog black and grim hundreds of feet
above the mountain, are the promi
nent objects. The main tusk re
mains, looking lonely and isolated
in Its grandeur.
We a: e indebted to Judge Ililger,
woo met the hunters referred to be
lt, w, for the following particulars in
referrence to the fall of the smallest
of the two prongs; Last Monday a
party of hunters who were chasing
game several miles north of the Bear
Tooth, observed a rumbling sound
and a quaking of the earth, and sup
poring it was an earthquake, and not
noticing a repetition of it, they soon
forget th. occurence and continued
their chase until they reached the
Bear’s Tooth. Here they were as
tonished by the appearance of the
eastern tusk. This was a pependic
ulur mass of rock aud earth, fully
five hundeed feet high, three hundred
feet in circumference at its base, and
about one hundred and fifty feet at
the top. This immence mass had
becomo’dislodged, and coming down
with the speed of an avalanche, had
swept through a forest of large tim
be. for a quarter of a mile, entirely
1 -aying it The country around ia
now covered with a grent mass of
rocks, many of them as large an an
ordinary house.
A Stance Tkai ition. —Among the
Seminole Indians t >?re is a tradition
regarding the white man's origin and
superiorl y. The,, say wen the
Great Spiri made the earth he also
made three men, all of whom were
fair comptexioned, and that after
making them, he led to the margin
of a small lake, and bade them leap
in and wash. One obeyed, and came
out purer and fairer than before; the
second hesitated a moment dur ng
which time tut water, agitated by
the first bad become mudded, aud
waen he bathed, he came up copner
colored; the third did not leap until
the water became black with mud
aud he came out With I is own color.
Then the Great Spirit laid before
them three packages, and out o! pity
for his misfortune in olor, gave tin*
black man t- e first choice. He took
hold of each of the packages, and
Having felt the weight c- ose the
l heaviest; the copper colored man
chose the next heaviest; leaving the
white man the lightest. W hen the
packages were opened t' e first was
found to con ain spades hoes, and
all the implements of labor; t e sec
ond enwrapped hun'ing, fishing, and
warlike apparatus; the third gave
I the white man pens, ink, paper, the
engine of the mind—the means of
mutual, mental improvement, t' e so
cial lmk of humanity, the foundation
; of th" white man’s superiority.
A story is told of an editor who
died, went to cavcn, and was de
nied, adini tance lest he should meet
s< me delinquent subscriber, and bad
feeling would be engendered in that
peaceful clime. Having to go to
some place, the editor next appeared
iu the regions of darkness, but was
positively refused admittance, as the
place was full of delinquent suhscrib
ers. Warily the editor turned back
toward the celes ial 0 ty, and was
met by the watchman of the portals
with a smi'e, who said: “I was mis
taken ; you can enter, there are no
delinquent subscribers in Mtaven.”
“The reason why I don’t love my
big sis,” said a boy at school, “is
that when she expec’s her beau, she
gets water, sand, cobs and sembing
brushes, and goes th rough me like I
was an old brass kettle."
