THE "WILD MLN.”
Mark Twain- "I • erview: Him: wi t Re
, marbiable Sue • •• e Sta I g De
velopiunts and t •ns Remi cences.
Marktwain has ien" in iewinr
the cerebrated " Man,” and con
tributes the'srest4o; of 'his talk with the
monstrosity to, Buffalo Expreis ...
There has been so much talk about the
mysterious " wild man" out there in the
West for some time,
that I finally felt that
it was my duty to go out and "inter
view" him. There was something pecu
liarly and touchingly romantic about the
creature and his strange actions, accord
ing to the newspaper reports. He was
represented as being hairy, long-armed,
and of great strength and stature ; ugly
and cumbrous; avoiding men, but ap
pearing suddenly and unexpectedly to
women and children ; going armed with
a club,
but never molesting any creature,
except sheep or other prey ; fond of eating
and Orinking, and not particular about
the quality, quantity, or character of the
beverages and edibles ; living in the woods
like a wild beast ; seeming oppressed and
melancholy, but never angry ; moaning,
and sometimes howling, but never utter
ing articulate sounds. Such was "Old
sheer as the papers painted him. I felt
that the story of his life must be a sad one
—a story of suffering, disappointment,
exile—a story of man's inhumanity to
man in some shape or other—And I long
ed to persuade the secret from him.
* * * * *
"Since you say you are a member of
the press," said the wild man, " I am
willing to tell you all you wish to know.
By-and-by you will comprehend why it, is
that I am so ready to unbosom myself to
a newspaper mau when I have so studi
ously avoided conversation with other
people. I will now unfold my strange
story. I was born with the world we
live upon, almost. lam the son of Cain."
" What !"
" I was present when the flood was an
nounced."
" 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 eye on him the while. lie 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 I the events I have
helped to emphasize I I was at the assas
sination of Ctesar. I marched upon Mecca
with Mahomet. I was in the Crusades,
and stood with Godfrey when he planted
the banner of the cross upon the battle
ments of Jerusalem. I
" One moment, please—have you given
these items to any other journal ? Can
" Silence ! I was in the Pinta's shrouds
with Columbus when America burst up
on his vision. - saw Charles I beheaded.
I was in London when the Gunpowder
Plot was discovered. I was present at
the trial of Warren Hastings. I was on
American soil when Lexington 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
fleets for your War of 1812—when the
South fired upon Sumpter—when Rich
mond 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 famine.
" 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 excitement during
what I may term such a protracted period,
not to put too fine a point upon it?"
" Listen. Once I was the honored ser
vitor of the noble and the illustrious 17
(here he 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 pastebrush to defile the fences with
cabalistic legends, and sometimes in gro
tesque and extravagant characters fbr the
behest of some driving journal. I attend
ed to that. Ocean Bank robbery some
weeks ago, when I was hardly rested from
finishing up the pow-wow about the com
pletion of the Pacific Railroad; immedi
ately 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 b oat race; and then, when I had
; r
FAT HER ABRAHAM
just begun to hope that my old bones were
to have a rest, I am bundled oil' to this
howling wilderness to strip, and jibber,
and be ugly and hairy, and pull down
fences, and waylay sheep, and scare wo
men and children, and waltz around with
a club, and play 'Wild man ' generally—
and all to gratify the whim of a bedla
of crazy newspaper scribblers! From one
end of this continent to the other,l am
described as a gorilla, with a sort of uman
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. I
have been compelled by base men to cre
ate fraudulent history and personate all
sorts of impossible humbugs. I wrote
those crazy Junius Letters; I moped in a
French dungeon for fifteen years, an
wore a ridiculous Iron Mask; I poked'
around your northern forests, among
your vagabond Indians, a solemn French
idiot, personating the ghost of a dead
Dauphin, that the gaping world might
wonder if we had a 'Bourbon among us;'
I have played sea-serpent off Nahant, and
Woolly-Horse and What-is-It for the
museum; I have 'interviewed' politicians
for the San, worked all manner of mira
cles for the Herald, ciphered up election
returns for the World, and thundered
political economy from the Tribune. I
done all the extravagant things that the
wildest invention could contrive, 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!"
"Hence, horrible shape!"
It spoke again:
"0, pitiless fate; my destiny bounds me
once more. lam called. 1 go. Alasi
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 sym
metry. His club changed to a spade, and
he shouldered it and walked away, sigh
ing profoundly and shedding tears.
"Whither, poor shade?"
"To dig up the Byron family!"
Such was the response that floated back
upon the wind as the sad spirit shook its
ringlets to the breeze, flourished its shovel
aloft, and disappeared over the brow of
the hill.
All of which is in strict accordance with
the facts.

CHEsTER COUNTY.—A horse was sto

eleven years of age, had an apoplectic
stroke a few days ago, which paralyzed

of New Garden, sowed thirty quarts of
Norway oats last spring upon half an acre
of ground. The product was thirty-six
bushels. The straw was very large
Mr. Levi B. Lloyd, of Warwick, raised a
pumpkin, of the sweet potato variety, the
present season, which weighed 90 pounds.
Wm. Clark, of Upper Oxford, was
killed on Monday morning last, by the
upseting of an ox cart loaded with dirt,

Edwin Smedley, of Upper Ewchlan, aged
20 months, was drowned in a small stream

there while the mother was engaged in
household duties.
Chicago has a grain " Ring" similar to
the gold " Ring" of New York, with the
difference, however, that the " bears" con
trol it, keeping the price of grain down
until they have monopolized the entire
crop, and storing it away in their city
until their grasp over the present year's
yield is complete. They are shipping none
whatever to the East, to the great detri
ment of business interests everywhere.
In a year of so bountiful a harvest as that
of the present one, it is grain and not
gold that must regulate finance and set
going the wheels of trade. The West is
always debtor to the East at this season,
and it is a well understood principle that
the produce of the former must pay here
and in Europe for the products and im
portations of the latter. But while the
produce, the great wheat and corn crops
of the West, are unshipped and stored
away in Chicago and St. Louis granaries,
Wall street and Third street are the suf
ferers, and from these great money centres
the whole East suffers in sympathy.
CAT-EoonrcAL.—An unfledged poet,
whose talent only needs to be known to be
appreciated, has been favored with a fe
line serenade, and thus gives vent to his
feelings on the occasion :—"lf a cat doth
meet a cat, upon the garden wall, and if a
cat doth greet a cat, oh I need they both
to squall? Every Tommy has his Tabby,
waiting on the wall, and yet she welcomes
his approach with one unearthly yall. If
a kit wish to court a rock upon the wall,
why don't he sit and sweetly smile, and
not stand up and bawl; and lift his precious
back up high, and show his teeth and
moan, as if 'twere colic, more than love,
that nade the feline groan. Among the
train there is a swain ;
hie voice is known
full well ; but what's his name, or where's
his thame,' the deuce alone can tell. He
is sweet upon the other sex; and so, with
groans and horrid threats, he rends the
evening air, and makes these midnight
'rendezvous' impossible to bear."
USEFUL HINTS.—A bit of glue dis
solved in skim milk will restore crape.
'Strong lye put in water will make it as
soft as rain water.
Half a cranberry, it is said, bound on a
corn, will soon kill it.
Ribbons of every kind should be washed
in suds and not rinsed.
Scotch snuff put in holes where crickets
come out will soon destroy them.
A bit of soap rubbed on the hinges of
doors will prevent their creaking.
Wood ashes and common salt wet with
water will stop the crack of a stove.
If your flat irons are rough, rub them
with fine salt and it will make them
smooth.
If you wish to avoid a cold, keep your
mouth shut. The same plan also Imps
the teeth from getting sunburnt and peo
ple from noticing them If they are.
