| SOMEWHAT STRANGE. f ACOfDRVTS AND INCIDENTS OF EVERYDAY LIFR f Queer Episodes and Thrilling Adven tures Which Show that Truth io Stranger than Fiction. of the most curious places in New \ ork city on Saturday from about noontime until midnight is what is known as "Paddy's Market." It lies between 34th and 42d streets on both " sides of Ninth avenue, and there are fully live thousand people who go there as 'purchasers within the hours named. Thertf is no massive municipal structure covering the three or four hundred huck sters who make the neighborhood reson ant with their peculiar cries aud the description of their wares aud merchan dise. The wagons are backed up along the sidewalks, and a sorrier set of horses and vehicles could not be found in any other section of New York. When Saturday noou arrives and a thrifty huckster finds that his stock is still upon his hands, whether of vegetables, meat, tish. or what not, he hurries to I 'Paddy's Market," pretty certain that the hundreds of housewives from the big west side avenues hunting for bargains will give him a chance to dispose of his surplus stock. From oto 10 and 11 o'clock the and loudest war of words f between the hucksters and their cus tomers takes place. After that time the white customers generally drop away from the wagons, and toward midnight the negroes from Sixth and Seventh avenues fill their baskets with what is left in the wagons, almost at any price they offer to the weary peddlers. Taken altogether, "Paddy's Market" is well; worth a visit on Saturday night. YooziiANiNof Kiev reports an incident of the most revolting barbarity which charateriz.es the Hussiau peasants of some districts? A peasant of the village of i Potrovsk, near Odessa, sold his aged father and mother for 25 roubles as slaves to a peasant of the neighboring ! village of Balovaunoye. A written agreement to the transaction was made, 1 aud the seller received one rouble on ac- i count, promising to deliver the slaves on j a certain date. When the time came and the slaves were not delivered, the purchaser came to Potrovsk to claim them. The poor old couple were per suaded to go with their new master, for they were told their son would be sold i out of house and home if his contract were not fulfilled. But their grand children would not let the old woman go because she had brought them up and they were fond of her. The seller, then, for the sake of his children, offered the purchaser a compromise; he would give an old aunt who was iu the house instead of his mother. But no sooner did he make that offer than lie came to grief, i The old uunt, uuwilling to go slaving! for a stranger, kicked up a row, and at last ran away to the Natehalnik (Gov ernment agent) of the district and re : ported the whole story. Three police-! were sent to the house aud the whole ' party was arrested. Both purchaser aud ; seller received deserved chastisement, ! and their written agreement was torn up. ON top of the account of the recent horrible massacre by the Hova Governor of Nossive, Madagascar, comes another story illustrating the ferocity of those people who are nominally under French protection. It appears that Rannisilofo, Governor of Mahanoro, had an unfortun ate native tortured in the most horrible manner because he refused to obey liitn. j The victim was bound to a pole and in that position paraded through the village for two whole days. When freed fr< m the pole lie was placed in a sort of coffin, hollowed from the trunk of u tree and covered with a plank in which there wfls nothing but a small hole of about three inches for his mouth and nose. The un fortunate native was kept screwed down in this coffin not less than two months and actually lived during that time. Me was fed through the aperture, his rela tives being permitted to give him food. At length, upon tho payment of luO piastres, the Governor allowed the man to be released. In addition TO these | brutalities the llovas are everywhere ag- ; grcssive against the French, aud Euro- j pcans arc not safe even at the port of Tamatavo. The question whether France will enforce her claim of authority over j the island is becoming an important one to other nations that have commercial ; interests in Madagascar. Two or three miles west of Iliawussce, ! on the mountain dividing Hiawassee and Brasstown, on lot of land No. 87, iu the ! seventeenth district and first section, and on the west side of the mountain, .Mr. Hamilton, of Athens, Ga., is mining for corundum. On a recent day he found that his supply of water, with which he used to wash his corundum, had ceased i to flow. One of his workmen was dis- 1 patched to find out the cause, lie quickly returned and said thut the mountain was sinking. Soon the alarm spread, and : parties started to explore ana solve the mystery. They soon found that a very i large fissure was opening in the earth iu I the shape of a semi-circle, and large trees 1 were falling in every direction. Tho | amount of land encompassed was about i forty acres. This looked like it might i be a slide, but by examining closely they j found that other fissures were opening on | the southwest and northeast, crossing | the mountain. The opening in some | places is as much as six feet wide and ! the depth is unknown. THE exhibition by a New York doctor to a few friends soveral days ago of a singular relic in the shape of an Indian's head from which the bones had been re moved recalls to the Recorder another remarkable curio now in the possession of a well-known lady of the metropolis. The original owner of the head in tho doctor's possession, it is said, was an In dian of Ecuador, and it had fallen through the fortunes of war into tho hands of an enemy, who preserved it and wore it at his belt as a trophy. The lady in question is the proud owner of a pair of eyes ODCC belonging to one of the old Incas. These eyes were at one time set in a brooch, but as they arc extremely frail and delicate they are now preserved with great caac, and kept from exposure to light and air. They are ofjilniost im perceptible weight, in the shape of a per fect sphere, of an ainber color and devoid of any trace of the iris or pupil, and in Zixc and general contour resemble a pig's optic, which occulists say comes nearer than anything else to the human eye. OLD TOM TRENT, the trapper, is the name and litlo of a harmless and eccen tric character who lives in a cave about four miles from Sweet Springs, Mo. His house is merely a hole about ten feet square in a hill or bluff faciug Black River. His only means of livelihood consists in the fur and game he captures during the winter months, and the iish he catches during the summer season. Among other eccentric notions or habits which he has, or. perhaps with him it might more properly be called a mania, is that of training small animals. He always keep two or three pet coons, and j when any of his friends come to see him | nothing seems to afford him so much j pleasure as bringing forth his pets and I have them go through tho various antics j lie has taught them. Tom is not a first j class muscian, in fact knows nothingabout I music when it appears iu the shape of | notes, sharps, flats, etc.. but he can play 1 with ease such tunes as "Arkansas Trav i eler," "Mississippi Sawyer" ami the "Devil's Dream." With his fiddle, which sometimes lias five and sometimes only three strings, he whiles away his idle hours, teaching his little household of peta how to keep time to his rustic music. So soon as he gets a coon or a fox well trained he offers it for sale, aud usually finds a purchaser at a fair price. BUT few men have ever fallen into a pot of molten metal and escaped with a lew trifling burns, but Jolm Adams of Tacoraa, Wash., did it the other night, lie is an employee of the Ryan smelter, working on the night shift, and it is only through great presence of mind thut he was not burned to death. By some misstep he lost his balance and i started to fall head long into an immense I pot of molten metal. As he fell he j caught the r in of the pot, and although jhe was immersed almost to his armpits, 'he drew himself out, an with an almost superhuman effort thicw himself into an adjoining pot filled with cold water. Some ol his fellow workmen saw him cast himself into the second pot, and rushing to his assistance, rescued him. | His hands were badly burned, but other ; wise he had hardly a scar on him. The se cret of his escape was that he had on heavy woolen underwear and outer clothing, and before it had been burned through Adams was in the pot of cold water. THE mountain canyons play curious pranks with the weather of towns situ ated at their entrance. In Boulder, Col., one day the sky was bright, the sun was shining serenely aud the air was abso lutely without motion. It was a perfect morning. About 10 o'clock a strange roar could be heard afar off in the moun tains. For half an hour it grew louder and louder, but not a breath of air stirred the dust on the streets of the town. Then there came a rush of wind that almost took men off their feet. For an hour dust, sticks and scraps of paper were hurled with blinding force. Locomotion was nearly impossible. Then the wind lessened, the atmosphere cleared, and iu a few moments the day was as placid as though the great moun tains had given no manifestation of their mysterious forces. The canyons act as funnels. They gather the wind in the big end, as it were, and shoot it out through the little end with its power multiplied a dozen times. It's a start ling freak until you are used to it. IN the shops of the C., 11. and D. R. R. at Hamilton, Ohio, is a cracked loco motive bell that has a history. It was attached to a locomotive presided over by a strong, manly, handsome engineer, whose great objects of pride and adora tion were first iiis sweetheart and then his faithful engine. He loved them both devotedly, though, of course, in quite different ways. One day at Hamilton he stood in the cab of the engine, bell rope in hand, ready to move the lever and start the train, when he saw a bridal party approaching. He glanced at the bride; it was the girl he loved. His hear stopped beating, he gave a groan, and dropped—dead. As ho fell with the bell rope iu his hand, he gave the bell a loud ring that cracked it from top to bottom, and it was found afterward that he had died literally of a broken heart. The bell in the shops at Hamil ton is still called "the bell of the broken heart." CAPTAIN E. E. WILSON, of St. Louis, tells an odd story of frontier life, which is corroborated by ex-Governor S. T. Ilauser of Montana. Mr. Wilson had re cently seen a newspaper account of tho death by shooting of l)rury Underwood, a noted Western character. Said he: "Underwood was once shot by anjlndian so that one bullet made eight holes in his skin, and passed on to wound anoth er man. lie was a large man, weighing upward of 300 pounds, and used to sleep on his back witli his anus folded over his chest, the flesh of which was thus thrown up in two high protuberances, lie was sleeping in a tent along side of Governor Ilauser, of Montana, when the Indians attacked them. A bullet passed through both of his arms and the two fleshy piles on his chest aud hit the Gov ernor on the other side of hira." A KANSAS paper tells an interesting cow story. The cow in question recently lost her calf. After it died she trans ferred her uffections to the fourteou-ycar old son of her owner, for whom she manifests a strange fondness. She licks him just as she would a calf, and no oue but the boy can do anything with the dumb creature. The other day the lad •had occasion to go to town, and as he renwiiued away until after milking time, bis sister put on a suit of his clothes and went into barnyard, and succeeded in deceiving the cow until she (the cow) happened to see the boy coming up the road, when she kicked the pail over and made a bound iu the direction of the youth, showing the most unmistakable evidences of delight. AN original mode of sounding a fire alarm is adopted fn a town in Colorado. Iu that region the revolver is considered an indispensable article of daily wear, aud nffords the quickest means of an - nouncing to the rest of the community the impending danger. AVheucvcr a lire is discovered a rapid and promiscuous discharge of this firearm spreads the news through the town. This method, though crude, is found to work fairly well. °lt has, however, one drawback in that the fire department, as well as the public, is often uncertain whether a fire or a light is in progress, and whatever the truth may turn out to be somebody is sure to be disappointed. SOME of the English papers tell a rather curious story about the doings on board the Russian man-of-war Mirwin at Kingston, Jamaica, recently. After two of the crew had deserted aud been recaptured the commander asked the British authorities for permission to hang them on the ship while at anchor in the harbor. On this bciug refused the Mir win put to sea. the executions took place and the vessel returned to port. There was, of course, no infraction of British or international law in this, a Russian man-of-war being Russian territory, but if the tale is true it will have its effect on public opinion in England. THERE was a notable funeral at Buoy rus, 0., the other day. Frank, the pet dog of the men employed on the Toledo & Ohio Central Railroad, died. His body was in a handsome casket, and on the day of tho funeral au engine and car were draped iu black, the casket placed in tho car, and the train bore Frank' 3 remains to the grave, while all the engine bells in the yard were tolled. Frank was an ugly dog in nppcarauce' happy in disposition, and be had barked in a neighborly way and wagged bis tail socially among the trainmen for years. Some men came fifty miles to attend the funeral. AN East Nashville, Tcnn., colored man, who sells poultry for a living, re cently found himself without any stock in trade and minus the money to buy any more. He had an old gray eagle, though, which he had received from his former master at the close of the war, and this he determined to kill and sell as a turkey, despite the fact that it was known to be about forty years of age. lie killed the bird of freedom, sold it for a turkey and was arrested by the irate purchaser, who had cooked and vaiuly tried to eat it. ROSARIO. Scenes in a European City in South America. Rosario, is a vast business town, laid out geometrically, with straight streets and blocks of uniform dimensions, and situated on a plateau commanding the Parana River. The situation is admir able, and the city is certainly destined to become one of the finest in South America. At present, however, it is a doleful place for tourists, who requite only a few hours to visit the plaza and the public buildings, and to stroll through the principal streets, where there are some flue shops and handsome business blocks. On one side of the plaza is a large church, whose white dome and tower.4 are conspicuous from afar, but when you approach you find that the dome and towers are "the only ] arts of the building yet completed; tho rest of the edifice is rough brick, which, us I was informed, has been waiting for its stucco facing for the past eight years. But in Rosario nobody cares for churches; it is a city of business j men, and particularly a city of young men, who, after office hours fiud distraction in clubs, bar-rooms, im mense cafes and billiard saloons. Such establishments seem to be pe culiarly frequent in this town. The Port of Rosario, on the Parana River, is at present in a terrible state of disorder, but from morning until night there is a din of pile-driviug and dredging, and in the course of a year or two we may ex pect to see there a line line of quays. Meunwhile the quantity of ships anchored in the river, or lying alongside the ware houses and wharves, bears witness to tho commercial activity of the town. Rosario is the natural port of the provinces of the interior of the republic, Santa Fe, Cordoba, Tucuman, Santiago, Salta, and Jujuy, with which it is in direct railway connection. In course of time, too. railways will place it in com munication with Bolivia and Chili. About the great future of Rosario there can be no doubt. Even now, although its population is only a little over 50,000, the vast extent of the city, its business ardor, the shipping iu its port— including vessels of the Mcssagcries Maritimes, the Chargcurs Rcunis, and Lamport and Ilolt, that camo directly from Bordeaux, Havre, Antwerp, and Liverpool—impress one with the present importance and the greater future of this modem and thoroughly European city. —[Harper's Magazine. Sharks Tortured to Death. "The people of Galveston hate sharks more than poison, and you would think so, too, if you saw the numerous logs of wood bobbing up and down in the bay there," said Hubert E, .lames, a hard ware merchant from the Texas metropo lis to a Chicago Tribune reporter. "The sharks in the bay of Galveston are about three feet long," continued Mr. .lames, "and spoil the good fishing, or what would be good fishing, by eating or scaring to death about all the fish in the bay. This so provokes the fisher men that they go out in parties and catch all the sharks they can. They never kill one immediately, but bore a hole through the upper fin of each one, and with a piece of rope about three feet long tie Mr. Shark to a log of word heavy enough to keep him from going far, from the surface of the water. The unwelcome occupant of the bay is kept a prisoner until he becomes so hungry he turns his stomach skyward. The fish in that way is tortured to death, and it is hoped that other members of the tribe will take warning and give the bay of Galveston a wide berth. "No, the Humane Society doesn't disturb itself about the slow death that is dealt out to the sharks. Everybody takes part in the good work. I have seen at one time as many as forty logs being dragged aiound by the captives. Some of the bobbers were tearing over the bay at a terrific rate, while others would scarcely move, so near death were they. As soon as a shark dies the corpse is relieved of its log and rope, which are used to torture another intruder." Fire. According to Pliny, fire was & long time unknown to some of the un dent Egyptian tribes and when a cele brated astronomer made them acquainted with that element and how to produce it, they were wild with delight. The Persians, Phoenicians, Greeks and sev eral other nations acknowledge that their ancestors were once without the comforts which fire bestows ; tho Chinese confess the same of their progenitors. Pompan ian, Mola, Plutarch and other ancient writers speak of nations which, at the time when they wrote, knew not the use of lire, or had just recently learned it. The inhabitants of the Marian Islands, which were discovered in 1551, had no idea of fire or its uses. Their astonishment knew no bounds when they saw it applied to wood; most of them tak ing it to be some kiud of an animal which the sailors had brought with them, and must be fed ou wood.—[St. Louis Republic. Refused His Own Medicine. An amusing story is told of Sir Wil liam Thompson, the great English phy sician, who has been ill for some time but who is now mending. His medical attendants declare that they never had a worse patient in the matter of obstinacy. He would not take his medicine for days together, and it was only by the doctors threatening to abandon him altogether that he reluctantly consented to swallow the prescribed draughts. The leadin" physician expressing A disbelief in drug's as a remedy when his own ailments are under treatment is somewhat of A novelty and calculated to rouse many suspicious and misgivings iu ordinary lay minds.— i Chicago Ilerald. Nature's Beautiful Handiwork. A very beautiful piece of nature's han diwork has been discovered at Tate Ga. It is a cave large enough to hold sixty or eighty persons, which has been found under the quarry. The opening to this cave is small, and after a descent of four or five feet iu mud, one finds himself in a room beautified by frescoes of various crystalline formations, which shine and glitter in the light like so many diamonds making a beautiful sight. A river runs through the cave. There has been some talk of placing ladders in the opening of the cave, so as to make it more accessible to all, and charging ad- I mittauce.—[Atlanta Constitution. I xne nai, ttiA .iioutn and tiro Trap. One Day a Well-fed and Sagacious Rat came across an Object made of Stout Wires, and its Sole Occupation Seemed to be to take Care of a Liberal Piece of Cheese. Having had Several years' Experience with Men and Their Machinations, the Rat Looked the Ground over with Great Care, and Ho was still Engaged in this Occupation when a Mouse Appeared and Wanted to Know what was up. "Why, the fact is," replied the Rat, "I have more Cheese here than I can possibly Eat at one meal, and as Cheese spoils quickly in this climate, 1 was waiting for some one to come along and Accept of a Portion." "You are very, very Generous," said the Mouse. "Don't Mention it. Just Step inside and pass the Cheese out, will you?" The Mouse had no sooner nibbled at the Bait than there was a Crash and he found himself Trapped. "Ah! that's the Way it works, is it?" queried the Rat. "I couldn't just make it out. Uml I see. Spring there somewhere. Very good idea." "But I'm caught!" exclaimed the Mouse in great Agitation." "So I observe." "And what's to be done?" "Well, I leave that to you to Decide. I let you in on the ground floor, and my Responsibility ceased there. Fine day to-day ? Hope we shall have an early Spring."

One of tho Northern illustrated pa pers published a picture of one of the Belle Isle prisoners which certainly showetl an extreme stato of emaciation. Some of the mess suggested that I com pete with him, kindly offering to back tho Confederate entry. I think thev would have won their hots; for, though regretting that I must acknowledge the fact, I am confident tl a I was the worse-looking specimen of the two. I had entered the prison weighing over 140 pounds, and then weighed less than 100. To a demonstrator of anatomy I would have been invaluable as a living osteological text-book. The prolonged confinement had told soverelv on us, and the men could not but yield to its depressing influence. There was little to.vary the dreary monotony that made each day the repetition of the day be fore and tho type of the day to follow. This alone would have been sufficient, but when scant food and cold were thrown into the scale it is little wonder that both mind and body should yield under the constant strain. Many of us were far into the second winter of our confinement, and with all hope of re lease gone wo had nothing loft—only to wait for the end, whatever that end might be; audit was weary waiting. It was generally known among us that some mitigation of our condition would be afforded such as took tho oath of allegiance, and as this meant increased food and better clothing some few availed themselves of the offer. But one case came under my notice—that of a momher of the mess; he, 1 presume, could not help it, as it was with him simply a question of endurance, and ho gave up. It was said of him that iio froze uu oarlv in the first November, and did not thaw out uutil the following tlune. The prospect of a repetition was too much for him.
