A -MODEkL SAMlSON. Remarkable Feats With Cannon, Barrels of Lead and Bar Iron. From(i the Troy, New York, Tiules. I , ropose to ,ive you a short sketch of the life of1 a man who was little known outside of the village of GIran ville Corners, in Washington county, where he was born and spent th. most of a long life. It. is known of him. and can be proved, that he has Per tormed feats of strength unsurpassed by any man that has lived in ancient and nioiern times, excepting, ofcourse, the Biblical Samson. 11is name is, or was, Siaru Carpenter. Ilis occupa tion was that of a thrimer. Being 1:at utrally of a very quiet, peaceful dispo sition and a member of the society of Friends, he never did anything for display to attract attention, but the feats of strength he pert'ormed were done more to satisfv himself and to see how much he could lift than any thing else. All his lifting was done by main strength, without harness of any kind. One of his greatest feats was lifting a box tilled with ron, which weighed 1,900 pounds, which is equa! to lifting .',600 pounds in a harness. 1le lifted it with ease with his hands by grasp ing a rope or chain which was bound around the box to secure it. Ile did not know the weight of the box of iron at the time, and was afterwards heard to say that had he known it weighed so near a ton he would have put on the other 100 pounds and lifted the whole. At another time he lifted a cannon that weighed 1,400 pounds and shoul dered it. At Comstock's Landing, on the Champlain canal, near Whitehall, one day while waiting for a load of merchandise, he lifted a barrel - of white lead with case. His neighbors, when killing hogs, if Stearn happened to be around, would ask him to guess the weight of a hog just killed. I it lihppened to be a big one, weighing four hundred or five hundred pounds, he would stoop down and twist his iinzers into the bristles, and in that way would lift the carcass clear from the ground and guess on its weight. He performed one the greatest feats of strength on record after lie had reached the age of seventy-five years. He lifted two twenty-feuir foot iron rails by grasping one in each hand, and walked off with them. The rails were resting on wooden horses, so I.e did not stoop down to lift them. Ore day in haying he was going from the field with his men to the house for dinner. They were walking along the road together when one of his men, for mischief, came up behind him, and, by a skillful trip, threw Carpenter down. He gathered himselt up and said nothing about it. He walked on to the house, and after dinner, when reTurning to the field with his men, they came along to the place where the man gave him the fall. Ele suddenly turned upon the man, and, grasping him by the shoulders and the seat of his trousers, lifting him and hurled him high in the air above him and over a seven rail fence, by the side of Which they happened to be walking. The man came down in the meadow a row or more from the fence, consider ably shaken up, but not badly hurt. Mr. Carpenter was not a gigantic man in size. He was about six feet tall, and appeared much less than that, owing to his massive build. There was no superfiuous flesh upon him, but the muscles of his s houlders and neck seemed to be' piled apon him, so great wvas their size. This gave him s stoopinglappearance. in a crowd, -a casual observer would not be likely to pick him out for one of the strongest umen that ever lived. Mr. Carpenter is living at the present time at Gran yille Corners, Washington county, N. Y., his old-home, or was living the -last time I heard of him. lie must be over eighty years of age. Cactus Frotn which the Mlexicans t Meat. Drink and Clothina. A Mexican globe cactus is about 18 inche in diameter at the largest part, some inches above the sand in which it grows, and is about as many inches high. tapering from the bulge to a cone-like tip. It is complete 13- covered with two distinct varieties of thorns-one kind slender and straight, the other longer and curved almost like a fish hook, the tips being brownish &r yellow, exceedingly bard and tough.. The plant is simpl5 aliuge branch .of rca vegetable *matter, the surface beingu oy corrugated, the ridges running spiraiy and- thickly protected by the. thorns described. Jt grows on the arid sand, drawing its sub sistence from. the scanty materials it con tains, and from the air and dew, for rain seldom or never falls upon its desert home. The plant is anything but handsome, but it isoaremely useful. The Japanese could as easily spare their universal bamboo as the poor p-imitive M1exican could this cae-~ tus. The long, straight thorns are used by the iiaave women as needles; the curved ones are often and successfully used as fish hooks; the tough. strong tibre of the plant, when freed from its other matter, is an 'excellent substitute for our flax. and almost the only one known among the Mexicans, and, lastly, the sap supplies the people with their national drink. The flowers are a beautiful yellow, about four inches in length, and form a veritable crown of gold to this unique plant. It is the only plant which can be held tup to public ob servation when in bloom without the warn ing, chestnut-colored plaeard-Ilands oih. [Burngtons Hferkeye. P'articulars of the Recent Fire at Madin.on. WI>srMnsrs. S. C., Novemiber -. Fort Madison, our sister town, on the Air Line railway, had am awful tire early on Sunday moining. Th ree houses, valued at $2,500, were destroyed. No insurance. The tire originated in the house owned by Mr. W. .J. D~eaton and occupied by him as a dwelling and store. ie and his wife and some smaller children were sleeping down stairs, and four of hi., older children upstair-. Mr. Deaton first awoke and found that :d commniciation with the up stairs was cut olr. Hie then ran out and threw a ladder up to the window on the west end of the bouwc, got upon it, burst open the window and ctlled to his children to conme to him. The two sleeping in the room came, andl he got them down iithott their being badly buirned.I The ire by thie time had come up the stairs from below. Mr. Deaton culled loudly to his two boys. aged 14 and 12 years, to come to him. *They had to cross the fire to to so, but he got thenm down by the aid ol some frienids who had arrived. By this~ time the w hole house was ablaze. Mr. Deaton w a pain fully burned, and his two boys-bright, promising and inteliget-wecre -o badly. burned that they will not. it is thou-ght by the physician attending, recover. Mr. Deaton saved nothing. The fire then spread to the -storehouse o1 Mdr. 11. E. Ihopkins. Mr. II., however, had time to get out hisa goods. Aaothe-r house, which was vacant, was burned. A special fronm Loogootee, at town inl la diana, savs the Ackerman IHotel. a two story frme buildling. was burned and three men perished in the flames. Two of them had just been elected to till the pcsitioas of Trreasurer and Auditor, andI were fat igued from the work of the election, which caused Ahvm to sleep too cantly. - ARTIFICIAL QUININE. A London Paysician Discowrs a Proceam tor Making that Bene11cent Dru;. -. PUliile and olpiUmii il vaious forus andt uinder various names are used by phvsi Clans more than any other drugs." said Dr. ii. 31. Whelpley, editor of the /iaol Ir)Igj,'.St. in a conversation with a reporter. "Chemi!..s have for several years said it w:- possible to make qiine chcally, :.Wl the worhi of those interested has- been waiting for soulc ole to do it. II 142 a Frenehman announced he bad discovered t it process. and deposited a sample of his - ;uinine- with the French Institute. n examtiittioni it proved to b le sulplate of amt monia instead of sulphate of quinine. 31ost of the experiment has bci directed toward .uakiig qIuinne of einehonidiniCe. which is mnade from Ilie same bark. but is of lesser value :td i' cheaper than uminne. Chem icalily there is little difference Ietweil theni. Cinchonidine consist of 1) parts carbon. 22 parts hydrogen. 2 parts zitrogen and I P.art oxVen: quinine c'ntains Q0 parts of eatbon, 24 parts hydrogen. 2 parts nitrogen anti : parts oxygen. The proisem has beelt with chemists to add 1 part carbon, 2 parts hydrogen and 1 part oxygen. They ihave not been succesCfuil in this endeavor. There is nothing wonderful in the claim that quinine could be made from other things than the bark. "Fruit essences are n.;w made withou' fruits. and other items of chemical stock are made chemically without the interven tion of the usual natural product. Yet the medical world was disturbed last Semtei ber when Dr. Cresswell Hewitt. of London. announced that he had discovered a process to make quinine. He made no effort to establish this claim or submit his product to test: but 1 have just received a letter from L:-,ndon telling of the formation of a coi pany to manufacture the drug on Dr. Hew Itt's process. He still keeps all particulars to himself, and it is not known whether the Cinchona bark is the basis of his process. or from what he manufactures the drug. The company is called the Atlas Quinine Com pany, and I ai informed has large capital. If IHewitt has ldiscovered what lie claims he will have made us independent of the irregular supply from the countries where the trees grow that produce the bark, and while the price of the drug may not he ma teriallv reduced it will not rise in time of war in those countries. 'hen, too, his suc cess will stimulate other cheiists to exper iIents looking to the manufacture of other drut's without reliance on -the natural proiluct. 3orphine may be iiade from s mething other than opium, etc. It, how ever, remains to be seen what Dr. Hewit has really accomplished." scenes at a Japanese Theatre. One of the first things which strikes a visitor to a Japanese theatre is the peculiar shape of the stage, which projects on either side at right angles with the main stage, about half way into the auditorium. The workings behind the scenes are very siiple. Everything is done by hawl, and there is not miueh in the accessories to a -!pectacular play, but what is wn-,ing inl gorgeous ef'ect is made up by the realistic manner in which they ill the mitnor details. Thus, if in the play a man has a sword thrust through him, the weapon is withdrawn , not bright and unblemished as before it was sup posed to have pierced his body, but actually dripping with the most per feet imitation of blood. During the performance every one eats, drinks and smokes. Criticisms are very audibly expressed. Conver -ationt and "chafl' are very general, and people enter and leave when they like. If the actor is not word-perfect, the prompter follows him around with his book, without the slightest attempt at disguise. It' tihe stage carpenter wishes a light for his pipe, lie does not hesitate to crawl in front of' the actors and get it from the footlights. A man killed dturing the play is allowed to walk oft' behind the -scenes. TChe theatres of Yokohama, on the main street of the Japanese town, remind one of the Bowery in New York city. [Lu front of each one, extending from the i'oof to the ground, are wide streamers, of very gaudy appearance, with all kinds of symbols painted on them, signifying the seneis and char acters of' the play. On entering, the first thing both native and foreigner' umust do is to remove his or he'r shoes, which are checked and taken care of until the owner leaves the building. sancy on carry carrying a narrow sroof wood, at least one foot in lengthi, for a check Once inside, the usher directs you to your place, and priovides a mat, on which you are expected to squat. In cold weather each spectator is furnished with a small box of charcoal fire, with which to keep warm. The pgrogrammes are botught, and in a variety theatre there is alway's a master of ceremonies, who introduces the per'formers, espe cially when a difficult act is to be per foi'med. From the time the show begins until the end, the orchestra (?) keeps up' an incessant noise with gongs and a sort of banjo. However good the performance or difficult the feat, there is an entire absence of applause.

The days of editorial essays in a daily p.Ter have passed, and what is now wanted are short. snappy expressions of opinion, siarp a:: directly to the poiit, without iroloxity. It is a great thing for a young w riter to learn to stop when he grets through, a les-son which some older writers who have ben fairiv successful have never learned. Long editorials are more fre 1ucntliy a sign of la.ziness than of ability. 01' co 1urse there are some subjects which require exhaustive treatment, but under rdinar% circumstances long editcrials are written because the editor has neither the time not the brains to write short ones. The short editorial, the concise clearly written atticle, will go to make up the model paper of the future. Punctured by a pairagraph is nmore than an alliterative cnc-it. The paragraph is the most form LiablC weap)on inl the editor's arsenal, and the long editorial is the least effective. Old fogies n:iy speak with admiration of the -thoughtful" writer who turns the long netvslpaper columns, but the man who will weild real influence is he who can put his -tIought" in a few pithy sentences.

After the s-r vices the remains were deposited in the crypt under the altar and elaborate pre cautions will be taken to guard against a desecration of the grav-e. The death of Mrs. Stewart arou;-s a fresh interest in the husband. One of the remarkable things about Alexander T. Stewart was the brevity of his will. It would occupy only four or five inches and he disposed of fifty or sixty million dollars in less than five lines. Said he: "First-All my property and estate, of any and everv kind of description, and wherever sitlated, I give and devi-e And bequeath to my dear wife, Cornelia .M. Stewart, her heirs and assigns for ever." After appointing Judge Henry Hilton his executor and directing him briefly about the affairs of the estate lie added: "For which service, as a mark of my re gard, I give to said Henry Hilton S1, 000,000." There were a number of legaeies to various friends, employes and servants in the household. When the death of Mr. Stewart was made public Mrs. Stewart was consid ered the richest woman in the United States. When the bequest of all her husband's property to her was published in the daily papers the enormous burden put on her aged shoulders was universal ly believed to be greater than she could sustain. Fortune favored her, however, and she sold to Henry Hilton all her right and title in the business of A. T. Stewart and Co., for the sum of $1,000, 000 cash, which sum had been bequeath. ed to Henry Hilton by her husband. Whether this was in accordance with a pre-understanding of Mr. Stewart's de sire was never publicly explained, though it was an open secret that such was the fact. But that fact in nowise altered the legal aspect of the case. She was the absolute legatee and could have done with the property precisely as she pleased. That her action in parting with a business believed to be worth from twenty to thirty millions of dollars for the comparative trifling sun of one mil lion, and that a gift, was the sensation of the day and excited widespread com ment. The theft of Stewart's body is still a mystery. Since the theft various expla nations have at different times been as serted, the most frequent statement being that the body had been privately recov ered by Judge Hilton and placed im the mausoleum at Garden City, but no state ment has been authorized and supported by any show of proof, and the where abouts of the body is still a secret, which the death of Mrs. Stewart may finallv open the door to disclosing. The Earthquake Outlook. That the eastern shore of the United States is, and has been, gradually set tling for the last one hundred and tift years, is well known. Buried foresh' and the flooding of~ lands "once high and dry," attest this fact. That the seismic focus should be at Charleston, where the coast line is comparatively straight, seems somewhat strange. A more probable place would be in south ern Florida, or near the volcanic islands before ailluded to-the Greater ar~d Les ser Antilles. It is not unlikely that shocks will continue till a destructive earthquake or the opening of a volcano will be experienced at some point 02 or near these islands-most likelv on or near one where hot springs occtu--simi lar to the ease at Casaiulecioha, in Ischia, July 28, 1884. A volcano may brea:k forth in some of them, or in the sea, or at some other weak spot in the earth's crust near them. Then the immense pressure and unrest benc ath that un fortunate city will be removed, the shocks will cease, and it is highly proba ble that the portions of the earth near Charleston that have been subjected to the most severe shinkings will settle to a lower level, and furnish another instance in proof that the earth is gradually growing more solid and consequently smaller.-Chicago Inter-Ocean. A Mlater of Petn-lou-.. 3Mr. John A. Amtiek (lied in Decembler 1880, and was a pension of the Unitd States as a survivor of the war of 18!'. MIr. James Shecey, who is also dead, con tinued to draw Amtiek's petnsion every three months until 188:3. In order to do .;o he had to sign Aick's n:ame to the pension ceaim. Therc signatures were witnessed and certitiedl to by JToeI Keisler, Jr.. a Trial .Justiee for Lexington county. This being violation of Sections M2 and 54> of the Revised Statutes of the United State-. (frauds on the Pension D~epartnment.) a true bill hus been found by We- United States grand jury in Charleston against Keisler. A bench warrant for Keister has been is~sued and a deputy marshal passed through the city this morning to serve the papers (hn witnesses and arrest the defendant.
