Lftttrr-nn)' Jar M«>r«« Ilian a Match for Those of Old—Some of the ■Wonderful 1'eats Performed l>V tihints of the Present. I have often heard it asserted, says a tyHter in the New York Advertiser, that tiie human raee was dejfeneratinp in repard to personal strength and activity; that the ancients were phys ically stronger titan the men of mod ern times. In searching throuph the records of the athletes of ancient Greece, etc., I have been enabled to make some comparison between the strong men of that time and those of the present day, which, 1 think, shows conclusively that the present genera tion are far ahead of any authentic ated record we can tind of the an cient. The idea that the human race as a whole is degenerating is a popular delusion, founded on ignorance of the plainest and most undeniable facts. The idea that men arc Jailing off in size is a mistaken one. There are good grounds for doubting that any man of former times ever performed a feat of strength beyond the powers of the strongest man of the present time, in popular estimation Samson (the orig inal one) remains the typical strong man, and many will think it sac rilege to doubt his claim to be tin' strongest man that ever lived. Yet what feat .is recorded of him that has any undoubted definite value as a measure of strength. lie killed a young lion with his hands. 1‘oly- damus also killed with his bare hands a huge tierce lion, and so did Richard CVenr de Leon, according to history. Samson broke ropes of various kinds. How strong were they? Hreak- ing ropes and chains are indefinite proofs of strength. He killed one thousand men with the jawbone of an ass. To fracture a man's skull with such a weapon needs no very great amount of strength, as several men have killed a man with one blow of the bare fist. If the one thousand men were all opposed t i him at once they must have been a sorry lot. Another celebrated athlete who flourished about .'•on It. C. was Milo, of Crotona. a Greek town in the south of Italy. In his case also we have noth ing recorded by which we can formally accurate idea of his strength. He was victor six times at the Olympic games, and among the things attributed to him am the following: Rinding a cord found his head, he could break it by retaining his breath and swelling out his veins; with his elbow resting on his aide he defied anyoneto open his closed ilst; standing on an oiled quoit he do lled anyone to push him off it. The last is sheer nonsense, the first two in definite. Samson or Sandow of the pres ent day can bind chains around their arms, and by swelling their muscles can burst the chains easily, which 1 consider a much harder thing to do than breaking a cord that would be child’s play for them. 1 have seen Samson break a silver quarter in two with his lingers. Let anyone try to do it, and he will find out what an enormous power it requires to bend or break it. Coming to more recent times, we find Thomas Topman. an Knglishman who Exhibited aliout 1710. He was about . r > 'feet 1»> inches in height and weighed in the neighborhood of ■.'no pounds, and was very strongly built. Topmau's feats were feats of real strength, tind he is the first performer that could bear comparison with those of the presenl day. Here are two of the best records of real strength recorded of him: He stood on a platform which had two parallel bars at a convenient height on his right and left, on w hich to place his hands. Relow him on a lower platform were three barrels of water, weighing altogether about l.*'.'!'! pounds. These being bound together, a chain from them passed through the platform on which Topman stood, and was attached to a belt that passed over his neck and shoulders; he then lifted the whole by straightening his arms and legs, llis qtl|er genuine record was lifting by seizing with his hands a frame on which rested a tone weighing sou pounds. It is my candid opinion < hut there, are liicn living at the present time of greater personal strength than any Milo, Samson or Topman. We will Mow place the following records against Topmau's lift of 1.'sin pounds. In this country some twenty years ago several athletes gave their attention to devis ing harness for lifting heavy weights, with the following results: Hr. S. W. Wlnship lifted •,’,ii(l0 pounds, John .1. Lucas 7oo pounds, A. A. Kutts •7.7.'t7 I 4 pounds, and William R. Curtis, at pres ent editor of the Spirit of the 'rimes. U.'-XtO pounds l.tOl! pounds more than Topmau's. There ».s no doubt but that the apparatus of these athletes was superior to that, used hy Topman. but Donald Dinnie, the famous Scottish athlete, with apparatus inferior to Top- man's, in that lie had no supports for his arms, with mere straps, lifted Loot pounds. In isst Louis Cyr, a young Canadian, standing under a plank,with legs slightly Lent at the knees, hack lient forward and his hands resting on a stool, pushed up with his back, anna and legs thcplank with pig iron resting on it weighing i ^' pounds, and a few years later the same athlete, using the same metImd. raised'I,pounds. In hand lifting there is less room for improved apparatus, and here again the modern strong men completely eclipsed Topman. Hr. Winship lifted 1 ,',‘00 pounds, William R. Curtis IL. Lousing l.tsi. Havid L. Dowd 1,11?'4 pounds, and .leff* r ..m. of Roston, lifted with Ids hands alone I,.'i71 ! 4 pounds, nearly double Topmau's best lift. There are generally from half a doz en touscore of athletes, each pi -•claim ing himself the strongest man on 1 arth. Here are some of them: SiiM'.sol;, K. I( fiedy, Sandow. Cyclops. Ajax, At.tila; the brothers < aii!'< n ••nd Hcrcith s and tiOiils Cyr, who. in the writer's opinion, la really the strongest man in the World to-day. Tin. New I list i,| I,,i|, Denver, April lit.

Htirh Was Simple Mil.peri slips, n Sorry Soltlior. Larly in our late civil war there wax in the eastern army a man. or an indi vidual, whom we ealle l Slippery Slips — Private Slippery Slip’s, high private in the rear rank, a quinine skirmisher, a great friend of the surgeon and the sutler. Well, Slippery was a tall, lank, loan, lop-sided, stoop-shouldered, long-legged, big-footed (he often put his foot down and very often into it), sharp-nosed (always nosing into ev erything). long-eared, toot bless, keen- sighted, short-haired, awkward gawk, l»ut no fool by a great sight. He was just the kind of a man that would make a good Isthmus if he were stretched across somewhere. Well, this eccentric phenomenon enlisted out of a sense of duty mingled with a sense of patriotism, as well as a sense of shame at the thought of being lounging around home with the wom en, when all other able-bodied men were in the field, defending their homes, firesides and liberty, lie was hardly ever known to be without his hands in his pockets ps-it> pockets— unless he could not possibly-, for the time being, spare them to put there. Ilis father never could break' him of the habit, though he had tried a thou sand times and ways. Well, when out on drill (before they received their guns). Slippery would slip his hands, one or both, owing to whether he could spare both or not. into his pock ets. and the captain would call out to him in it stentorian voice: “Take your hands out of your blasted pockets, you awkward gawk, you!" slippery, jump ing like he had been shot at and missed, would slip th 111 out li ke an obedient servant, and all would go well and according to tactics for awhile—till Slippery would forget himself again, and in would go his hand - again. “Hands out of pockets!” tiie captain would command, much louder than ever, and Nlq pery would slip them out. though rather precipi tately, but without any leelings of animosity or animadversion toward the captain. At la.-t the captain could stand it no longer, ami lie a.ddre l a few brief remarks, though they were lucid, to Slippery, as folho -.: “If you don’t keep your hands out of your pockets while on drill, without having to be made to <1< • -o, why, 111 in; !,e you.” “Well. lo ok here l ; ! ]>, aid Slip- pi*vy, c*uiiipi eheedin ■' |l;e crisis fully. “if you only will i r :i ii me of the habit, or etm, I'll f« n \ *r : :nd forever. amen, Ih II lider ev •I'la • ting and ever- lasting o Mi r .'i 11 o i 1 O v t HI and so will dad, for it ' s 1 li 1. i ng* to break me of it fr« >i:i time i; • ina •Mh •rial, and I don't ku< >w «a*\v in a Hi • Hi ger -I guess from evt rl: t': ’ v' : ml Ili* don’t seem 1 to liave in: h* ini.'* !

What wasyottr occupation before coming here? Let me see your tongue. How are you oil hereditary predispositions? Does your esophagus need irrigating? How are your corns? Gan you usually walk tin- top rail, or rider, as it is called, of a worm fence, with agility and a steady gnit? Does anything hurt you had? Do you have to scratch much? Do your hands keep their places when you are asleep?" and various other questions, hut of m.udi less importance than tiie foregoing, and after taking in the situation, he told the patient to he seated fora few moments until he could think the matter over and write out a prescription. That suited Slip pery pretty well, for he had been seat ed in the surgeon's otlicc before many times engaged in social chat with the doctor and others. Slippery was so quaint and original in his conversa tion that Surgeon Riidnd. and, indeed all the other oilicers and men. and th sutler, too, were always glnd t< lay aside rank and tile ami associate with him when off duty. 'I'lie result of tie- surgeon’s delibera tion.-, was tiie following prescription," which he told Slippery to take to the hospital steward, and have him com pound it: Ut.—Scw-uin pocket pants up um No. 1. Make um pocket coat tail um No. 1. M. S.--Use as directed. Rii.i>ai>. The directions given to Slippery by the surgeon were to put his pocket knife, his tine-tooth comb, his mar bles. fete., in the coat-tail pockets, and try to keep Ids hands in his pants p< ickets. Well, the prescription worked ad mirably: but for aw idle it made Slip pery look more ludicrous than ever, for his hands would slide down over his sides lik*- mud turtles slipping off a bank into a puddle. In time Slip pery gained some control over Ids hands, hut he was often puzzled to know what to do with them, or where to put or keep them.—American Tribune. VALUE OF A SPY IN BATTLE. Isxplotl of >1 Soldier Who Cnilicd Impor- tunt Information at At tlit‘ ivernt iv-unio?! of tho First, Tenth and Twenty-ninth Maine regi mental associations, Dr. II. N. Howard, who was assistant surgeon of the Tenth Maine infantry, related the fol lowing incident: On the second day of the battle of Gettysburg, the Twelfth corps was on the right of the union line. The First division (Gen. M illiainsl occupied the extreme right at the foot of Culp's hill, where slight earthworks had been thrown up. In the afternoon the enemy appeared to he massing on our left. Gen. Meade ordered the First division of the Twelfth corps over to the support of the left. This left the Tenth Maine occupying the extreme right of tin- onion lines alone. ‘The enemy doubtless discovered the movement, as, after dark, it was found that they were moving by the left dank down the ravine hack of Culp’s hill. When they reached our extreme left there would only inter vene the Tcnjh Maine battalion, com posed of three small companies, be tween the foe - and the entire ord- nanee train of the army of I’otomae. This was reported to Gen. Slocum, lie lost no time in informing- Gen. Meade, who ordered 11 trusty scout to be sent out ill once to ascertain the facts < apt.

They approached so near as to hear the whispered voices of the enemy within the intrciichments, and there remained until the first light of dawn discovered to the enemy the ini- iimdiatc vicinity of the union forces. Then was initiated the bloody assault upon Culp’s hill, where, in indiscrim inate heaps, lay the foes of either army.
