THE "WILD MAN."
i m
Mark Twal. Iml-w. III-, with
4 t'.rl.na Krl"'"cc , ,
Mark Twain lias been "interviewing' tha
elebrated "Wild Man," and contributes thd
renrdts of his talk with the monstroeity to the
Buffalo Mrprest: .
There has been so much talk about the
rnvBtoriouB "wild roan" out there in the West
for some time,. that I finally felt that it wai
my duty to go out and "interview ' him.
There was something peculiarly and touch
ingly romantio about the creature and hin
trange actions, according to the newspaper
reports. He was represented as being hairy,
long-armed, and of great strength and stature;
ncly and cumbrous; avoiding men, bu ap
pearing suddenly and unexpectedly to women
and children; going armed with a club, but
never molesting any creatnre, except sheep or
other prey; fond of eating and drinking, and
ot particular about the quality, quantity, or
, character of the boveragos and odiblosj living
in the woods like a wild beast; seeming op
pressed and melancholy, but never angry;
moaning, and semetimes howling, but never
uttering articulate sounds. Such was "Old
JShcp" as the papers painted him. I felt that
the Btory of his life must be a sad one a
utoryof Buffering, disappointment, exile a
Btory of man's inhumanity to man iu some
fihape or other and I longed to persuade tha
eecret from him.
"Since you say yon are a member of the
press," said the wild man, "I am willing to
tell yon all you wish lo know. Uy-and-by
you will comprehend why it is that I am so
' ready to unbosom myself to a newspaper man
when I have so studiously avoided conversa
tion with other people. I will now unfold
my strange story. I was born with the
world wo live upon, almost. I am the son of
Cain."
' "What!" a ,
"I was present when the flood was on-
' Bounced.'
"Which!"
"I am the father of the Wandering Jew."
. "Sir!"
I moved out of reach of his club, and went
on taking notes, but keeping a wary eyo on
him the while. He smiled a melancholy
smile, and resumed:
"When I glance back over the dreary waste
of ages, I see many a glimmering landmark
that is familiar to my memory. And oh, the
leagues I have travelled! the things I have
seen! the events I have helped to emphasize!
I was at the assassination of Ciesar. I marched
upon Mecca with Mahomet. I was in the
CruRades, and stood with Godfrey when he
planted the banner of the cross upon the bat
. tlements of Jerusalem. I
"One moment, please have you given
these items to any other journal? Can I "
"Silence! I was in the Tinta's shrouds
with Columbus when America burst upon his
vision. I saw Charles I beheaded. I was in
London when the Gunpowder l'lot was dis
covered. I was present at the trial of Warren
Hastings. I was on American soil when Lex
ington was fought when the Declaration was
promulgated when Cornwallis surrendered
when Washington died. I entered Paris with
Napoleon after Elba. I was present when
you mounted your guns and manned your
Beets for your War ot 112 when the South
fired upon Sumter when Richmond fell
when the President s life was taken. In all
the ages, I have helped to celebrate the
triumphs of genius, the achievements of
arms, the havoc of storm, fire, pestilence, and
lamine.
"Your career has been a stirring one.
Might I ask how you came to locate in these
dull Kansas woods, when you have been so'
accustomed to excitemeut during what I may
term such a protracted period, not to put too
, fine a point upon it ?"
"Listen. Once I was the honored servitor
of the noble and the illustrious" (here ho
heaved a sigh and passed his hairy hand
across his eyes), "but in these degenerate
days I am become the slave of quack doctors
and newspapers. I am driven from pillar to
post and hurried up and down, sometimes
with stencil-plate and paste brush to defile
the fences with cabalistic legends, and some
times in grotesque and extravagant char
acter for the behest of some driving
journal I attended to that Ocean Bank
robbery some weeks ago, when I was hardly
rested from finishing up the pow-wow about
the completion of the Pacific Ilailroad; im
mediately I was spirited off to do an
atrocious murder for the New York papers;
' next to attend the wedding of a patriarchal
millionaire; next to raise a hurrah about the
great boat-raoe; and then, when I had just
Legun to hope that my old bones were-to
Lave a rest, I am bundled off to this howling
wilderness to strip, and jibber, and be ugly
and hairy, and pull down fences, and wayfay
sheep, and scare women and children, and
waltz around with a club, and piny 'Wild
Man' generally and all to gratify the whim
of a bedlam of crazy newspaper scribblers !
From one end of this continent to the other,
I am described as a gorilla, with a sort of
Luman seeming about me and all to gratify
this quill-driving scum of the earth !"
"Poor old carpet-bagger ! '
"I have been served infamously, often, in
modern and semi-modern times. 1 have been
compelled by base men to create fraudulent
history and personate all sorts of impossible
humbugs. I wrote those crazy Junius Let
ters; i mopeu in a i rencu dungeon for fifteen
years, and wore a ridiculous Iron Mask; I
poked around your Northern forests, aiuopg
your vagabond Indians, a solemn French
idiot, personating the ghost of a dead Dau
phin, that the gaping world might wonder if
we had a 'Bourbon among us;' I nave played
Bea-serpent off Nahant, and Woolly-Horse and
Vhat-i8-It for the museum; I have 'inter
viewed' politicians for the Sitn, worked all
manner of miracles for the Herald; ciphered
up election returns for the World, and thun
dered political economy through the Tribune.
I have done all the extravagent things that
the wildest invention could eontrie and
done them well, and this is my reward play
ing Wild Man in Kansas without a shirt !
"Mysterious being, a light dawns vaguely
upon me it grows apace what what is
' your name." .
"Sensation!"
"Hnoe, horrible shape ! "
It Bpoke again;
'0n, pitiless fate, my destiny hounds me
once more. I am called. I go. Alas! is
there no rest for me ?"
In a moment the Wild Man's features began
to soften and refine, and his form to assume
a more human grace and symmetry. His
club changed to a spade, and he shouldered
it and started away, sighing profoundly and
shedding tears.
"Whither, poor shade ?"
"To dig up the Byron family !"
Buch was the response that floated back
npon the wind as the sad spirit shook its
ringlets to the breeze, flourished its shovel
aloft, and disappeared beyond the brow of
the hill.
All of which is in strict accordance with
the facts.

BADEN-BADEN.
An Albany Plrlne Vnym a VMt to the Or cat
KambllDK I'alnro Ilia Views and linpi-esalouit
f Its Allurement.
The Rev. R. W. Clark, D. D., of Albany,
N. Y., publishes the following letter from
Baden-Baden in the New York Observer:
Last evening I went to the famous gam
bling rooms here. Everything in and around
them is made as attractive and enticing as
possible. In all the world there is probably
no gateway to hell so magnificently and beau
tifully decorated. The grounds, walks, trees,
and flowers are arranged in the most artistic
and tasteful manner.
A most elegant pavilion, brilliantly lighted,
holds a large musical band, that fills the air
with the sweetest strains. Seats are provided
ior the thousands of the fashionable from all
lands who resort to the grounds. On the ex
terior of the edifice there are three signs. At
the left "Kestanration;" in the centre. "Con
versation;" at the right, "Libraire. Cer
tainly, very innocent words I At the door,
uuder the first, one may obtain refreshment
if weary and hungry. Hove his physical
nature may receive "restauration." At the
middle door ho is invited to the benefits and
pleasures of "conversation." He can con
verse with princes or blacklegs, with virtuous
or vicious women, as he chooses.
In this ball are the gambling tables. At
these there is no "conversation. Nothing is
Baid: deeds only. ,
The wheel turns, and the little white ball
that decides fortunes and destinies flies
rapidly around. The victims place their sil
ver and gold upon the numbers and squares
on the table, and wait with the deepest
anxiety for the ball to lodge in a particular
cell. Grey-headed men and fashionable ladies,
as well as young men, crowd around the
tables to try their fortunes.
Of the amount successively placed upon
the tables, I should judgejjfrom two-thirds to
three-quarters were swept into the vortex of
the bank. A'few dollars would be here and
there thrown to the outsiders, and occasion
ally a gold piece, but the lion's share wont
into the pocket of the proprietor. If this is
the result of mere chance I should like to see
the proof.
This institution is rented by the Govern
ment to a compuny for f.VtOO a year and a
stipulation to expend in addition 2."0,)00
florins on the walks and buildings. Every
thing in and around them indicates a pro
fusion of wealth. If the gambling wero
fairly conducted upon the doctrine of chance,'
it is reasonable to suppose that in the long
run the proprietor would lose as much as he
gained. Whence, then, come his immense
profits? The only inference that we can draw
from the facts in the case, and from the
course which other gamblers pursue, is that
the company pay the Government more than
100,000 annually for the privilege of swind
ling the people of Europe, and, with the
swindling, poisoning minds and blasting the
hopes of young men, hardening grey-haired
sinners, and adding to the profligacy of profli
gate women. And what shall we say of a
Government that fills its treasury and fattens
upon this villany ?
We have been accustomed to regard a gov
ernment as established to mako aud execute
just laws to promote the interests and protect
the rights of the people. But here is a gov
ernment in the midst of enlightened Europe, 1
in the middle of the nineteenth century, kept,
in a measure, alive and vigorous by the spoils
gathered, night after night, at this splendid
gateway, through which men and women are
allured to win, through which souls bearing
God's image go down to everlasting perdition.
If there is any power in Europe, or on God's
earth, to sweep this gambling hell out of"
existence, that power ought to be exercised.
Those false words, those enticing lies,
'Tiestauration," "Conversation," "Libraire,"
ought to be instantly obliterated. These
frescoed and gilded walls should be levelled to
the dust and ground to powder. The musical
band ought to bo forced to play their last
dirge over the ruins of this palace of the
"King of Darkness." Or, if the edifice is
permitted to remain, the signs on it ought to
be changed for "Destruction," "Death in
Silence,' and "Intellectual Ruin," that the
throngs at this watering place may know
whither they are going when they pass the
threshold of these fatal doors. Little are
parents in America aware to what their sons
are exposed who come here to make the usual
European tour, which includes Baden-Badon.
As I stood at one of tho tables last evening,
I was startled to see a young man well known
to me rapidly taking napoleons from his
pocket, placing them upon the table, aud as
rapidly losing them. Disappointed at his
want of success, he got a gold piece changed
into silver and then placed these singly upon
tho table. He won one piece about the value
of a dollar, but lost I know not how inany
napoleons (a napoleon being four dollars of
our money). I left my position to go to him
and warn him of his danger; but before I
reached him he withdrew and was lost to my
sight in the crowd. I sought to find him,
but in vain. This young man belongs to a
wealthy family in the highest social rank
in one of our cities, and could his father,
mother and sisters have stood at
the point which I occupied, and seen one
upon whom they had lavished every advan
tage and the warmest affections thus caught
in the snare of this sumptuous temptation,
they would unite with every friend of virtue
and humanity in the desire for its destruction,
In the case of this young man his motive for
gambling eduld not have been the desire for
money, for he has in abundance all that he
desires; and had this vice been presented, to
him in its nake,d and hideous features, he never
coiild have yielded to it. But the splendor
and fascinations mound him had taken cap
tive his whole being, and there he stood bar
tering away every good principle for fcold that
he did not need; selling his splendid birth
right, bis grand opportunities in life for use
t illness, honor, and happiness for that which
tomm was less than a mess of potage.
