.laCRson Oolick's Body Found.
A gray-haired native of Ireland called
at The Cheoniclb office about 5 o'clock
last evening and asked to pee the editor.
He stoops with the deformity of age, but
his bright eyes betoken an active brain,
though his remarks subsequently showed
it to be disordered. Mr. Fairview's life, i
for that is his name, lies behind him.
Whatever of usefulness is to be credited
to him bears date of the past. His note
in the Bcale of human action is jangling
and discordant, for it is not of this gen
eration. The visions conjured up by bis
conversation are peopled by the now in-
material characters of Lincoln, Buchan
an, Grant, etc. ' They are the characters
co-existent with his most vigorous man
hood, and his mind dwells upon them
instead of the present. He thinks he
should be selected for the presidency,
and devoutly believes God is to aid
him to attain that high office. ' It
was suggested that he was ineligible
because foreign born. "I have heard
that remark before," said theold veteran,
"but it has no force. True, I was born
in Ireland, but you know the good book
says we are to be born again. No one
would believe that if I asserted it on my
unsupported words, so when the time
comes I have a witness, who will swear
to time and place, that I have been born
again, and that I am now American
born." He directed to be published the
following, which he calls a "poem."
Free silver at 16 to 1. We want a
candidate who will represent, those
views. ' The majority of the delegation
has expressed no presidential prefer
ences. They want a nominee who can
win. ' I believe every member of the
delegation favors that. If I get the
nomination of the People's party, I will
be elected by a higher majority than
ever yet a candidate was, and do more
than 50,300 presidents altogether, one
after the other. I desire to say further
that the question of free and unlimited
coinage of silver by the government
alone at 16 to 1 has already passed be
yond the domain of argument.

"You have this published throughout
the papers of the United States,1, said
he, "and you shall lose nothing by it,"
and there' was the familiar twinkle of
the old politician's eye that goes with
that kind of a promise. "And by the
, way, call me' Professor. I have been
called Professor ever . since I advocated
the navigation of the air. I proposed to
start from the city' gardens in San Fran
cisco,' fly to Sacramento, then down the
river to the bay, where I would settle
on the water like a gull, then rise and
fly back to San Francisco. The scheme
failed, because the man. who was to go
with me backed out, but I have the ma
chine yet, only "the wings are broke
now." -' .' ':-'-'
In this disjointed way the old fellow
rambled on, ever . recurring to his polit
ical aim and the scenes of life, based
upon the past. The old man is the re
alization of the sad poem of "The Last
Leaf.'' For the past fifteen, years he
has lived at the Locks. , His dementia
is harmless, but pitifully shows the help-
Sam Thurman, while out in a small
boat about 8 o'clock last evening, ob
served what looked like a corpse rising
and falling upon the waves and pulling
toward it, discovered that such was the'
case. It was the body of Jackeon
Gulick, drowned six days previously.
The location of its discovery was at an
eddy in the river near Mr. Thurman's
wheel, the corpse having accidentally
washed within . the eddy, where it was
retained, instead of being, borne down
the river bv the current, as mav have
more naturally been supposed. The
corpse is now in a allocking state of de
composition and will be buried without
opportunity being given to view the re
mains. From appearances the body
must have been face downward chafing
upon the rocks, as a great portion of the
face and upper portion of the body is
missing. It is considered remarkable
that the body should have risen to the
surface in six daye, as nine days has
been -. the universal experience for a
drowned person to rise to the eurface. :
