His theological inventions were, ab

though, practically, they earned for hint
all the money he now possesses ill the
world,; for the Cardi iimt—the source
of his fortune—was the direct upshot
and result of his metaphysics, and that

nothing better than to idiots ill his py

engaging in discussions with .dergy
men, deacons and church elders. It was
in the midst of one or th,, , e discussions
that there flashed on his mind the con
ception of John Henry Catidill; the On
ondaga Giant of tlypsuni.
At the age of 28 the young, but con

make his own independent fortune in
the world. Chance guided his footsteps
to Binghamton, then mite of the flour

York. Charmed with thte resemblance
of the Chenangio Valley to the rich flat

out a few fertile acres two miles north
of the village, and transplanted there

ever he went, no clergyman' or preach

Week, escaped his' batteries. Many
were the nights that he sat up till mon,-
ng arguing on theological !natters. One
dark, stormy Winter's evening at Ack
ley, Marlin Co., lowa, he was sitting by
the dying bed of a man named Ogden.
'The village pastor had been called in,
and he too was a watcher in the sick
,croom. True to his instincts, Mr. Dull
called out the aked divine in vindication
of his belief. From a measured and slow
conversation they advanced to a heated
discussion, which prolonged itself into
an argument, and continued till nearly
morning. Debating upon the veracity
el the Old Testament history, the skep
tic stated his conviction that the. first
two Chapters of Genesis, giving the his
tory of the Creation, were false. This
the venerable clergyman stoutly con
tested, expressing the most implicit
faith in the narrative of the Creation,
and in the fact that our first parents
were more nearly perfect than their de

have been found, Sir," replied tne zeal
ous but imprudent clergyman.
Retiring to bed about daybreak, the
~Inaded brain of the skeptical debater
'l•elleeted long upon what seemed to him
the bigotry of religious zealots. "They
are ready to believe anything," he ar
gued with himself. "No matter how

flashed on him a full conception of
John Henry Cardiff; :the Onondaga

brain in full panoply. Every detail

and discovery, and the fortune to be
made out of showing it to thousands of
the credulous at 50 cents a head ! It is
wonderful how works of genius thus

lie heard of vast gypsum deposits near
Fort Itodge, lowa. . 4 1 rter visiting and
surveying the gypsum he determined
that the material was exactly that of
petrified giants, and so he bought an
acre of thequarry land, being three miles
below Fort Dodge, on the east side of the
river, paying Sloe for it. Then drills,
crowbars, blasting implements, and
powder were bought, and the first step
toward revolutionizing geology- com
menced one bright morning. in August.
Four rues' were hired to help quarry out
the stone. They were compelled to ex
cavate to a depth of 13 feet before :toy
pie“, of stone sufficiently large were
found. Even then the layers scented too
thin for a prime giant ; so work was sus
pended for a few days, and further
prospecting for a better quarry was
done. The giant-builder heard by re
port that at a spot,a toile to the east,the
Dubuque and Sioux City Railroad Com
pany was engaged in constructing a cul
vert, and was quarrying large pieces of
gypsum for the arch. Going there, he
found some beautiful large sections that
seemed especially made for embodying
the fossil remains of a giant. Quarry
men were hired to get out as large a
piece as possible. By successful "feather
rig," a huge fragment of gypsum. 12
feet long, tt.l feet wide, and 2 feet thick,
was separated from the rock. That frag
ment is to-day the Cardiff Giant. The
stone thus procured was 43 tulles from
the nearest railrord station. A contract
was therefore made With a teamster to
carry it. this 43 miles for $125. He
hitched on all the horses he could get
and tugged at it three (lays, getting it
along oily two miles, and then aban
doned the job. The gene rous gian t-k Hier
paid the discouraged teamsters2o and let
him go. 'flien a new contract was made
with another man to complete the job at
5130. It was agreed that the stone
should be at Booneshoro' in three days;
and its owner was told that he need give
himself 'no uneaiiiness about it. So he
betook his wearied brain and body to
the Boonesboro' tavern, and rested one
, week, awaiting the arrival of the rough
gem. Morning and evening he looked
out of the window to see the big stone
come into the village, but in vain. At
last he returned to the spot and found
the gypsum lying just where he had left.

weeks. But the railroad finally reach

his mu serous railroad journeys,Marked
in black paint, " G. 1-1011, Chicago, Ill."
Before the stone reached Chicago.
Mr. Hull, going on before it, had con
sulted with Mr. F.'s friend 11—, engaged
him in the place, and rented of him his
barn. This barn is situated on Clark
street, or, fhe north side of the city be
yond Lincoln Park. The stone block
was taken into the burn at night. It—
also knew of men who were handy with
a stone-chisel. Two of them—both
ennui's—were engaged to apply their
art to John Henry's physiognomy. The
head worklllllll had done considerable
ornamental stone-work in Chicago, and
perhaps possessed some slight suspicions
of the sculptor's art.. He of course
must be initiated into the secret, and
that.ef course raised the price of his
wag, s. • He was paid $lO per day,
and was a lazy workman at that. The
remarkable genius who had conceived
the work, after all, was obliged to sup
ply the better part of the handicraft for
the work of sculpture. First, several
clay images were made. Every effort
was put forth to avoid any likeness to a
statue. The peculiar position in which
the giant has been seen by so many vis
itors is the result of this strenuous en
deavor. Finally, a clay image was made
satisfactory to all requirements, and the
work of reproducing it in the block of
gypsum ceinmenced. The liermun head
employee frequently bolted, demanding
more pay, so that Hull himself was
obliged to do a large part of the work.-
11111 the statue gradually advanced tow
ard completion. AL the end of three
months, there stood John Henry,
naked, bald, and picturesque. But na
ture herself requires more than a sculp
tor's chisel for her imitation. The very
pores of the skin must be represented on
John Henry's body. To this end the fol
lowing device was resorted: A circular
piece of card-board, the size of a
watch crystal, was cut out. The hand
was pressed on this, leaving prints of
the skin's pores. Darning needles were
pressed through the card-board at the
points marked by these prints. Then
the needles were fixed in place. by plas
ter of Paris; and into the plaster of
Paris was poured melted lead, thus form
ing a handle. The tool so made was in
theta heavy hammer, with the knitting
needle points 'projecting from its face.
Then the whole body of the mysterious
giant was carefully pecked over. Es
pecial care wit/ used to make the marks
plain and deep miderJohn Henry's nose,
in the place where modern giants wear
their mustaches. Finally, the whole
body had three separate baths of sul
phuric acid, giving it a rusty, dingy ap
pearance, and carrying the date of its
origin back at least 2000 years
Now, that the giant was finished, came
the hardest work of all—that of getting
him into market—if we may apply a
modern phrase to so ancient a subject.
This petrified man weighed 2,900
pounds, and even to move it was a great
task; but to move it out of the city and
away in secrecy—there was the rub.
But the same indomitable genius tri
umphed here as everywhere previously.
The giant was measured, and a mam
moth box of 2-inch plank was construct
ed for him. The driver who brought
this box was intensely carious to learn
its purpose, and was only half-satisfied
by being told that it was for the convey
ance of marble. Nevertheless he went
off, leaving the box in front of the barn
door. Late,at :night it was taken into
the' barn', - a 'derrick made, the image
raieed 41.0 'Placed in the huge cdffin ;
the lid was spiked•down, and the whole
box was strapped around and around
with sturdy iron strips i-Inch thick
and H inches wide. The next day
John Henry Cardiff' figured on the
way-bills at the freight depot, un
der the direction of " George Olds,
Union, Broome County, New York."—
It had been the intention of the projec
tor to bury the giant in a Western prai
rie, and afterward to emigrate thither.
But It was found, when the Statue was
completed, that funds were lacking for
transporting it to the West and for pro
curing andfitting upanemigraut wagon
for currying out the scheme. It was
therefore decided, by that ill luck, that
the image should be shipped to Bing
hamton, so that its owner, having the
giant at home, could take his own time
and wait for the capital to come to hand.
Union, whither the box was shipped, is
the next railroad station west of Bing
hampton. Mr. Hull Iffmself came to
llinghampton and rejoined his family,
after an absence of nine months devoted
exclusively to his mysterious project.—
The problem now was where to bury
the giant. It was then the Summer of
1808. A great sensation had Just been
caused by the discovery of a rave in the
earth at Salisbury, Conn. Report de
scribed this as asecond Mammoth Cave,
full of all sorts of relics and remains
of remote antiquity. "Here is the
place for them to discover a fossil
giant," said the giant-killer, and he
started at once for Salisbury. But the
owner of Ilse new found Mach pelah de
manded a fabulous price for it, and the
g i an t was compelled to abandon his In
tendons against Connecticut. Some
thing 'oust, speedily be done, however,
or the stone inan was now on his way
East, anti must be taken away from the
railroad station us soon as It should
arrive. At this point It occurred to the
unfailing genius of our giant-builder
that he had an acquaintance, one New
ell, withal a shrewd fttluw, living near
Syracuse, New YorkH His residence
was in the middle of that famed "On
ondaga Hollow, ,where geology places
an ancient Inland sea, and where rumor
speaks of wonderful fossil discovelles.
To Onoinlaga therefore went the father
of giants. lie found Newell,.gently
broached the subject to him, and dis.
eovered that Barkis was willing, and
not only willing but anxious to get a
share in the proprietorship of the forth
emning wonder. After Some bargain
ing it was stipulated that Newell should
receive a one-eighth interest for his ser
vices in the affair. On looking over
Newell's farm Mr. Hull discovered a
spot of sunken ground near the barn,
which appeared to he dm location of an
abandoned well," Now,Newell, there's
our spot,'' said Anal:, the father of
giants; "you commence a well there,
draw stone for curbing, tell all your
neighbors that you are going to open a
well for your cattle next Summer, and
there's our game." Newell replied
that he could play that. ":Well, you
want to study on that one: point, and
not tell anybody, not ' , yea your wife."
" lint, after all, I believe Newell blow
ed ou me„' said Mr. )lull in describing
the result.
11111111MEM=
Hull now returned home, and waited
' week for the arrival of the giant at
Union. At the end of thattime he sent
two men and four horses for the big box
consigned to "George Olds." They
loaded the box on the wagon and started
for Cardiff, some 70 miles distant. Peo
ple along the road frequently asked
about the contents of the strange-look
ing box. The usual reply was, "It's
Jeff. Davis"—an individual whose mem
ory was then just dying out of the
world. The drivers of this wagon were
relatives of Mr. Bull, and were good,
trusty fellows. It was so arranged that
they should arrive at Cardiff in the
night. So, stopping at Newell's house
about midnight, they unloaded the vast
box, covered it up in a mass of chaff at
the barn door, and in twenty minutes
had driven away again, leaving the
barn-yard alone to darkness and the
unsuspicious-looking mass of chaff. In
this ignoble condition lay the wonder
ful giant for threeor four weeks. At the
end of that time a derrick was finished
and shipped. by railroad to Cardiff. That
night 'hull and Newell removed the
sleeping giant from his tied of straw to
the "well" and buried him. Home at
last in mother earth, Johh Henry now
awaits the trump of the Harvard College
professors to awake him into the famous
antediluvian man. He waited just one
Year. During: the Winter, Newell drew
stone for building his "well." When
curious neighbors made inquiries he ex
plained something as forlows : "Waal,
you see, them cattle of mine have a
derned hard time of gettin' through the
mud to the creek to drink, and I'm goin'
to have a well fur 'eni here at the barn."
Then receiving the full approbation of
his neighbors (without which it is so im
possible to do any new thing on a farm),
Mr. Newell proceeded in the Summer to
open his well. When they had dug
1101511 a few feet the giant was discover
etl lying on his side, just as he had lain
for 2,100 years,' by the very marks of
the earth surrounding. Curious neigh
bors returned to gaze. Rumor spread
the report. Citizens of Syracuse came
up in flocks to see the wonder. Crowds
fin crowds now came to see. Newell
swore that he Wouldn't have his grass
trodden down anyhow, :did covered up
the hole again. 'Phis was too much for
human curiosity. The crowd demand •
ed a sight at the mysterious giant, Mid
offered to raise money to pay for the de
struction of crops. So it finally. natur
ally, though wholly unexpectedly, you
allow, came about that 30 cents was
charged as an admittance fee. At this
price over 3,000 persons visited the giant
daily. A special excursion train wits
run from Rochester. Scientific men
pricked up their ears from afar, and
came in crowds, put on their spectacles,
examined, saw the pores in the skin,
saw the versimilitude of nature, and
pronounced the discovery a fossil. A
delegation from Harvard College finally
settled it for the country that John
Ilenry Cardiff was no less than a pre
adamite man, who completely over
threw the Old Testament. Of all the
savans who drew near in awe only one
ventured to doubt. 'this was a young
sandy-haired professor from Yale, who
pretended to discover straws and bits of
chaff in the dirt, and to see evidences
of recent digging. But he was speedily
suppressed, and science triumphed.
The giant was now weft' on the mar
ket—a fact of more interest to Mr. Hull
than even the victory of science. im
mense offers for shares in the concern
were;,made by showmen. The projector
and owner of the giant came on the
ground to negotiate with them.
The men who bought out the original
shares were Messrs. Wescott, Higgins,
and Gillett, of Syracuse, Spencer, of
ca, and Hamman of Homer, N. Y. Af
terward, Messrs. Fitch, and Ellis & Co.,
bankers, in Syracuse, bought another
eighth at $13,000. The final eighth was
still owned by the manufacturer, Mr.
Hull. He retained4.l4s share till April,
1071, when he sold it out in Boston.—
When asked how much money lie had
made out of the enterprise, Mr. Hull
replied that he didn't care to give the
precise figures, " but that he had made
enough so that he wasn't pinched," and
added that he expected a still furth
er addition to his income by the
publication of a book containing the
full history of the affair. The
expense," said he, "of getting up the
thing till the final day of planting it at
Cardiff was just $2 000; what I have re
ceived above that is clear gain." When
I inquired as to the present where
abouts of the giant, Mr. Hull replied
that he did not know just where it was
on exhibition now; and, heaving a sigh
at the agony caused him at parting with
his pet, lie described the last occasion
when he saw it. This wasatNew Haven,
last Spring. His hotel landlord urged
him to go down town to see the greatest
wonder of the age. "And go this morn
ing," said he, "for the profeasors arejust
DOW gone down to examine it." So he
went down. The exhibitor, Gotts, es
pied the towering form of the giant's
father, and pointed him out to a gray
haired professor, who was engaged in
examining John Henry beneath a mi
croscope. "That man made this im
age!" exclaimed the indignant profes
sor: "never, that is • unless he is more
than 1,200 years old I" So it seems the
giant still has his believers.

Only look at it. The power to declare
war is by the Constitution delegated to
Congress, and not to the President, and
this for the simple reason that the peace of
the country should not be the foot-ball of
a single individual's ambition, and that
war, with its sacrifices and misery, should
not be entailed upon tlje people except by
the action of the representatives of the

Clutracteristic Indian Experience
The New York Tribune notices a pathetic
picture presented at a council held on the
Umatilla reservation, Oregon. Here, In
great pomp and circumstance, came Unit
es.' States Commissioners Senators, and
others, to ask the Indians if it was true, as
had been reported, that they wanted to get
rid of their reservation and go off to some
remoter part of the country where land is
cheap and no white man covets their pos
sessions. To these Messieurs Wenap
:moot, Howlish \Vamp° and Homily, high
and mighty inen of sear, returned such ell-
HWOrtKee should have made the ears of white
men tingle. They showed how they bad
bean deceived into believing that when
they gave up the lands to which they once
had is nominal title, and took up their
abode upon their present reservation, they
were promised great things; they were to
haves medical ad visor, blacksmith, money,
houses, live stock, and other attractions,
none of which they ever received. Said
Howl's!' Wampo phdntively. Wenap
Snoot's house is as If it had been made for
a pigsty. Homily's house is the seine. I
see the house in %Mich I. live —lt is made of
mats." Yet these, poor cheated chiefs were
encouraged to leave their wandering life
and adopt the civilization of the white man,
with ample means to be furnished by the
Government, but which were never forth
coming. No wonder that the Indians ut
terly refused to consider any proposition
to give up their reservation, even though,
after much high-flown talk, imitated from
the dialogues of Cooper's novels, the temp
tation took the shape of an offer for the In
dians to send out a Committee to look up a
site for a reservation In Washington Terri
tory, the Umatilla lands to be sold for " the
benefit of the Indians."
Mr. Brunot, speaking for the Govern
ment of the United States, gave the Indians
at this council a statement of the popular
feeling upon the Indian question. "He
said: "The great heart of this nation will
not permit the Indians Lo be wronged."—
Mr. Brunot is no doubt a very good man,
and in a vague, benevolent way may mean
what he says, but "the great heart of ihis
nation" is, on the Indian subject, at any
rate, mom poetical than practical. As it
has permitted Indian wrongs thus far, to
say nothing of sundry other wrongs, we do
not feet altogether assured by Mr. Brunot's
confident draft upon it. Hitherto, in view
of the injustice with which the Indians have
been treated, it might be doubted whether
the aborigines or the white men are the
real savages. Let the few remaining red
men be undisturbed in their reservations.
The speculators and land-grabbers will not
have to wait long, perhaps, before the
whole race is extinct, such of them, at least,
as do not become civilized by accidentally
meeting with humane treatment.
Singular 3111shap—Illestruetion of n Clr.
elks by r ire---A Tent and Forty Persons
Through a private letter the Milwaukee
Sentinel obtains the following statements
respecting losses which have befallen Old
er's Circus, at Reedsburg, while it was on
its annual tour through the interior of
Wisconsin :
Older's show combined a circus, mu
seum and menagerie, and consequently'
required a large number of horses tor the
transportation of the wagons and cages.—
Of 150 belonging to the institution, forty
one were destroyed by fire. On the con
clusion of their entertainment at Reeds
burg, on Wednesday night, eighty horses
were provided with quarters under three
large tents on the place of exhibition, each
containing, respectively, twenty-live,twen
ty-seven and twenty-eight horses. About
three o'clock in the morning, when nearly
ready to start for Baraboo, the canvas-men
and drivers went to the hotel for break
fast, leaving no one in charge but a hostler
belonging to one of the side shows.—
Shortly after •their departure the tent
on the eastern extreme of the line filled
with straw to the depth of three feet
for bedding purposes, caught fire from
a torch, and in a short space of time
nineteen horses were roasted to death.
Twenty-one were rescued in a dam.
aged condition, some with their eyes
burnt out, some entirely skinned, and
others with their hoofs so badly burned
that blood streamed from their feet at
every step. They were removed to the
stables of the Mansion House and North
western Hotel, where, after inspection, a
number were put to death. Several of the
poor animals, wild with excitement and
pain, strayed off into the country, and
were found three and four miles from the
scene of the disaster. The horses belonged
mainly to the baggage-wagons, the com
pany losing only,one ring -horse.
"the tire was a severe blow to Mr. Older,
whose loss is estimated at $lO,OOO. The
company, though sadly crippled by the un
toward circumstance, will, through the
energy of the proprietor, renew its engage
moms for the season as soon as be can ob
tain a new complement of draught horses.
The main tent, containing the menagerie,
escaped destruction."
Evans Heard Frain—How a Corrnation
The state agent, Mr. George G. Evans
was heard from a few days ago. His funds
running low he wrote to anex-State TreaS
urer,now in this city, for live hundred dol
lars. The ex-Treasurer sent on his check,
for the amount by return mail, The
promptness with which this ex-Treasurer,
who is an ardent hepublican,responded to
his friend's appeal for help has led many to
surmise that in the" divy " by Evans the
ex-treasurer was not overlooked. Thatbis
motley has been more advantageously used
than Evans' is attested by the fact that he
is able to go on Evans' bond for fifty:thou
sand dollars, and will do so if Evans Is ever
brought to Justice.
The failure of Ilartranft and Mackey,
the guardians of the finances of the Com
monwealth, to bring Evans to trial will
result in adding thousands of Republican
votes to General McCandless for Auditor-
General, for the reasons, first, they know
his election will prove a healthful check to
such gigantic frauds as the Evans robbery;
second, if Stanton is elected Auditor-Gen
eral Evans will never be brought to trial,
and before the expirations of Stanton's
tertn,the statute of limitation will, as in
the Bunn case, save him. 'Therefore the
friends of Evans, knowing this, are mov
ing heaven and earth to effect the
election of Stanton, and those who
shared with Evans the plunder are
using the funds to corrupt election of
ficers to give a fraudulent count of the votes
cast on election-day. tine hundred Return
Inspectors, appointed by the Board of Al
dermen as Democrats, are to be paid one
hundred dollars each for making a fraud
ulent return of votes. Each of the pur
chased Inspectors is expected to take off
ten votes from the Democrhtic count, and
put them to the credit of the Republicans.
Such an arrangement would take from Gen
eral M'Candless 1,000 votes and give the
benefit of them to his com petitor, Mr. Stan
ton. Tnus, in Philadelphia, he is to be
fraudulently benefited 2,000 votes, and as
such an arrangement takes but $lO,OOO, oth
er thousands of the $300,000 are to be ap
plied to purchasing votes directly. So you
see the money is to be put to practical use,
and is to be used to benefit the masses.
Shocking Outrage by Negrocm
A despatch from Richmond, Va., to the
New York llcruld, dated 25th instant, says
that a report received from Greenbrier
county, West Virginia, gives the details of
a shocking outrage which occurred in the
t )wriship of Palestine. It seems that a man
in the employ of Mr. Geo. V. Perry had a
difficulty with Mr. Lewis F. Watts, in
which Watts was whipped. Watts then
employed two negroes and a white man to
go to Perry's at night time for the purpose
of beating his antagonist. The white man
remained in the road and the negroes
knocked at the door, and were admitted by
Mr. Perry, The man they were after step
ped behind the door as it was opened, and
the negroes not seeing him in the room,
went up stairs in search of him. As soon
as they started up stairs hesprang out and
ran to the railroad for assistance. The ne
groes, after searching in vain for him up
stairs, came down and fell - upon Mr. Perry
and his young son and beat.them fearfully.
They then seized Mrs. Perry, threw her
on the bed, and tied her by the hair to the
bed, after which they outraged her person.
They then attempted to outrage a little
girl only twelve ears of age, doing her
serious injury. rs. Perry, in her. strug
gles to escape, had nearly all her hair pull
ed from her head by the roots, but she
finally succeeded, and fled to a neighbor's
in her night clothes for 'protection. The
man who had gone for. assistance returned
with others and capturpd the offenders.
They then went to - Wall's and arrested I
him and his son, and•kept them secure
until the next day. The news spread rap •
idly, and the people flocked in with guns
determined on lynching all the guilty par
ties. These, however, were secured in a
strongly built house, so that they were not
reached, although desperate efforts were
made. They were tied and sent to the
Monroe jail, where they remain securely
guarded.
The case of Pullinan.vs. Woodruff, at
Williamsport, Pa., for an infringement
of sleeping-Car patent, was postponed
until the second Monday in November:
Intemperance and Hallway Accident*.
The National Grand Li l lge of Locomotive
Firemen assembled in Louis on the 21st
instant, and at the opening - proceedings was
addressed by the Grand Master Henry flop
man, of New York. In the course Of his re
marks that gentleman said: I think the
question of intemperance is one of the tit
most importance to us as railroadmen. No
man of intemperate habits Is worthy of the
lowest position within the gift ofany railroad
company. I venture to say that more than
half the accidents that occur on the various
railroads throughout the world are due to
men that habitually use intoxicating
drinks." This testimony is of some impor
tance, coming from a prominent member
of the one class of men who know more
than others can whereof he speaks.—Balti
