THE PRODIGIOUS FEATS OP A ST. JOHN
BIVEB NEW BRUNSWICK EIU
Thomas or Tom Gardner, as he was
.familiarly called. was born on the river
- St. John, one mile above the mouth of the
" Maetamiack stream, in the year 179S.
Viewed casually. Gardener gave no evi
dence of unusual power, but when stripped
:his muscular development was tremendous
and it Is affirmed that instead of the ordi
nary ribs he possessed a solid bony wall on
either side, and that there was no separa
tion whatever. lie stood five teet ten and
a half inches, erect ' and full chested, and
. never exceeded 190 pounds in weight.
- The late Charles Lone informed us that!
-at one time he saw Gardener lift from, a j
towboat a punclieon of corn, containing
at least twelve bushels, and, swinging
around, deposit it on the sand. In so do
ing he tore the sole off his boot. On
another occasion a number of men Were
trying to lift a st ick of timber. In all the
crowd only one man could raise it about
two Inches front" the skids. ? Gardner : told
fonr men to sit upon ft, and lifted it so.
.hlgq that the men jumned off to save them-
.1 - r t . . .T -
"reqnently known Mm in lifting to break
boom poles six inches thick. lie has
known him also with one. hand to lift, by
the rung of chair, the chair itself and a
man weighing nearly 200 weight. Once
in attempting to lift a very heavy man he
wrenched tho rung entirely from the chair.
Gardener one time was possessed of a
balky horse with which he exercised great
tpatience; but when patience ceased to be a
'virtoe ho would fell him to the ground
'with bia.clenchcd fist, striking him behind
the ear. It is related ot Gardener's sister
that on. one occasion a famous .wrestler
traveled all the way from Miramichi to
Torn 's home in order to ".try a fall with
him.'" Tom was absent, but the sister,
looking coatenfptaoasly uport the intruder,
declared she cotiidhrow him herself; ami,
suiting tho action to tbo word, in a fair
trial threw him fairly three times in suc
cession The stranger's experience with
the sister was sufficient; he never sought a
future .nferview with the brother.
Tbo greatest feat which Gardener was
-ever known to perforin wa3 on one of the
wharves In St. John. - Mr. McKeen saw
-him lift and carry an anchor weighing
-a,300 pound, numbers of other witnesses
-stand lug by, some of whom are yet alive.
:Jeqaejit!y he hits seen him .carrying a
, "barrel of pork andeueacU arni and once
:be saw him shoulder a barrel of pork while
standing' la , an , ordinary ' brandy box.
IVhaiabout 40 years of age Gardener
Tcmored to the United States, and never
, returned to his native province. -.:
It Ja commonly jported and believed
that he met with a sad adventure on board
' Mississippi steamer. A heavy bell was
' on board as a portion of the freight and
the captain, a great powerful fellow, was
concerned as to bow he shonld remove it

Th Infernal Regions Tapped.
Here Is a strauce account that comes from
Marine -City, Michigan: Recently, Mr.
Joseph Hahn who lives three or four
miles west of Marine City, in a small place
called Cottrellville, was engaged in sinking
an artesian well for the purpose of supply
ing ills stock with water, and used for that
purpose a -derrick, cousUthig ot three
pieces of timber fastened together at the
top, in the shape of a tripod. -This der
rick was fastened by means of a heavy
log chain, wound around the timber at
the top, attached to which was nn auger
for the purpose of boring the well, which
was turned by horse-power. The flrst
portion of the well for a distance of 20 feet,
had been carefully bricked up. and the bor
ing continued from there. Tue diameter
of the well is 13 inches, and on Monday
night the anger had penetrated a distance,
of 123 feet. .
The next morning a gas chamber was
penetrated, and upon the removal of the
auger the wooden tubing shot out of the
well, immediately followed by a stream of
gas, water, mud, aud stone that rose to the
distance vf nearly 260 feet in the air. when
the ground shook as if an earthquake had
convulsed it. Stones weighing from. 10 to
20 pounds were projected in tho air and
fell in all directions, some of them - crashed
through the root of Mr. Hahn's house and
barn, aud compelling his family to seek
another habitation. The heavy log-chain
binding the derrick was cut by the flying
missiles into a dozen pieces, aud tho farm
upon which a 6toue could not have been
found previous to the phenomenon, was
literally covered with large and small ones.
The velocity ot this discharge continued
for eight or ten hours without intermission,
when the monster was found to have spent
his fury, and tiie stream and noise gradu
ally subsided.
The crops of Mr. Halm were completely
destroyed by the falling debris and the
streams of water which ran in all direc
tions. Many people visited the well, and
many arc still coming, and Mr. Hahn, to
restore as nearly as iossible his loss for
lie is a poor man litis enclosed the well
within a rail fence, and charges the moder
ate sum of five cents for the satisfaction of
individual curiosity. The water, still bub
bling, may be seen at a great depth by the
aid of a mirror, which reflects the sun's
rays iuto its depths. One remarkable fact
is that the brick wall of the first 20 feet of
the well is entirely uninjured, and remained
intact during the great convulsion. The
orifice below, however, is - somewhat
enlarged. It is not apprehended, that we
will have another eruption of this miniature
Vesuvius.
, Italslas an Heir l'odr .Difficulties
A story 1 3 told of the queer doings in
Germany of Mrs. Martha Seybert, a young
New York woman. She applied at several
hospitals in several towns for a male child
with blue eyes wlueb she wished to adopt,
but coukl Undo none to suit her. At
length she saw one on the street, and she
managed by some artifice to get him away
from his nurse. Mrs. Seybert and the
child were found bv the do I ice hidinir be-
hhul a bale ot goods in a : railroad depot.
waiting ior a train, sne was arrested unci
the child was restored to its parents. Mrs.
Seybert s trial for kidnapping came on, and
the tacts of the case aud her motives came
out. Henry Seybert, a merchant of New
York, had been traveling with his wife hi
Germany and was hastily summoned home
on business. He left his wife, within a
few days of her time, ' in Stuttgartt. Sey
bert suddenly died in Xew York, ami left
a will bequeathing . his property to his
child if it lived., In cite of its death other
provisions were made for the disposal of
his .property. The heir came and was
very weakly. The mother started to trav
el with the baby when it was about two
weeks old it died on her hands, and in her
frantic grief she threw it out of the car
window. This was the funeral she gave
it. The terms of the will, which she knew,
made It very desirable for Iier to appear in
New York with a cltiid in lier arms, which
she could pass off for her- own. She had
tried to borrow one and failed, and there
seemed to be no way left her but to steal
one. She acknowledged that she had
stolen the boy at Gressen, intending to
take him to New York. The woman ap
peared to be unbalanced in mind and the
jury strongly recommended mercy. She
was sentenced to six month imprisonment.
Henry Seybert's estate will now go to his
mother and brother" and bis . wife will
.doubtless become an outcast in a foreign
land. -
H hy and When Lamps Explode.
All explosions ol coal-oil lamps are
caused by the vapor or gas that collects in
the space above tho oil When Jull ot oil
of course a lamp contains no gas, but im
mediately on lighting the lamp consump
tion ol oil begins, soon leaving a space for
gas which commences to form' as the lamp
warms up. and after burning a short time
sufficient gas will accumulate to cause an
explosion. The gas in a lamp will ex
plode only when ignited. In this respect it
is like gunpowder. . Cheap or inferior oil is
always the most dangerous.
The flame is communicated to the gas in
tho following maimer: Tho wick tube In
all lamp-burners is made larger than the
wick which is to pass through it.It would
not do to have tlie wick work tightly in the
burner; on the contra ty, it Is essential that
it move up and down with perfect case.
In this way it is unavoidable that space In
thft tube is left along the sides rf the wick
sufllcient for the flame from the burner to
pass down into the lamp and explode the
gas. - . ''
-Many things may occur to cause the flame
to pass down the wick tube and explode
the lamp.
1. A lamp may be standing on a table or
mantle and a slight puff of air from the
open window or a sudden opening ot a door
cause an explosion: ' - ; i
. 2. A lamp may be taken np quickly from
a table or mantle and instantly explode.
3. A lamp i3 taken into an entry where
there is a draft; or out of doors, ana .an ex
plosion ensues. - ;"
4. " A lighted lamp is taken up a flight of
stairs, or is raised quickly to place it on the
mantel, resulting in an explosion. In all
these cases the mbchlef is done by the air
movement either by suddenly checking
the draft or forcing air down the chimney
against the flame.
5. Blowing down Hie chimney to extin
guish the light is a frequent cause of explo
sion. :t-s e p t .' .-.;;.-- ....
6. Lamo explosions have been caused
by using a chimney broken out at the top
o one that has a piece broken out whereby
the draft is rendered variable and the flame
unsteady.-"-.-.-'.";
' 7. Sometimes a thoughtless person puts
a small-sized wick in a Targe burner, thus
leaving considerable space in the tube along
tne euges oi tne wtck. - r-
8. An- old burner, "with its air-drafts
clogged up, which rightfully shonld be
thrown away, is sometimes continued in
uae, and the final result is an explosion. ;

The press ot Walla Walla are pretty se- j
vere on the managers of the railroad from
their town to Wallnla, on account of the
high freight rates. The distance Is thirty
miles, and tlie charges on wheat amount to
eighteen cents per bushel. The Statesman
says : "For the same charge the steam
boats and railroads on the Columbia river
take wheat to Portland, a distance of 200
miles, and using three different steamboats
and two railroad lines. As the rate charged
ou the river, a ton of wheat ought to be re
moved from this point to the steamboat's
side at a cost of $V 50; but instead of that
we have a rate that, Including freight and
charges, foots np $8 a ton. With this tar
iff of charges, it costs $M a ton to tide-water.
This figure tor freight alone, saying
nothing about sacks, commissions, etc., the
whole swelling the outlay upon every bush

the neighorhood of fiifty-flve cents.

TASTELESS
MEDICINES.
A prominent New York physician lately com
plained to DUNDAS DICK CO. about their
-Sandalwood Ori. Capbui.es. stating that they
Houierimek cured miraculously, bnt. that a pati
ent of his had taken them without effect. On
being informed that several imitations were
sold, be inquired and found his patient hctd not
been tajtinpDUNDAS DICK CO'S.
What happened to this phys'clan mav havo
happened to others, and DUNDAS DICK A CO.
take this method of protecting physicians, drug
gists and themselves, and preventing On. of
Sandalwood from coming into disrepute.
PHYSICIANS who once prescribe t he Capsules
will continue to do so, for they contain the pure
Oil in the best and cheapest form.
DUNDAS DICK ft CO. use more On. or San
dalwood than all the wholesale and Retail
DruiT'sts and Perfumers In the United States
combined, anu this is tho aole reason why the
finre oil is sold cheaper in their Capsules than
n any other form. '
OIL OF SANDALWOOD is fast superseding
every other remedy, sixty capsules only being
required to insure a safe and certain cure in six
or eight days. From no other medicine can this
result be had.
DUNDAS DICK CO'S SOFT CAPSULES
solve the problem, long oonsidered by eminent
physicians, of how to avoid tbe nausea and dis
gust experienced in swallowing, which are well
known to detract from, if not destroy, the good
effects of many valuable remedies.
Soft Capsules are put np in tin-foil and neat
boxes, thirty in each, and are the only Capsules
presoribed by phystolans. .-
Taste leva Medicines.--Castor Oil and many
other nauseaus medicines can be taken easily
and safely in Oaadaa trfek c U'l Bof Can
sales. No taat. No smell. .
