A Strange Story from Claiborne
County. Tennessee.
s isig; uren Ctoud Passes Over the Lick
Skillet Country and Petrifies Hog a
Wall as a Fl.ld of Corn Tha
Tarn of tha Season.
The people in he eastern portion of
Claiborne County, Tonn., are excited
over a romarkablo occurrence which
took place there not long ago., It is one
of the most marvelous occurrences ever
heard of, and it will prove to be a prob
lem over which scientific minds may
wrestle for some time to come.
Edgat Ramsey is a farmer who lives
five miles from Lick Skillet. He ar
rived in Middlesboro recently. The story
he told would not find believers at first,
but since then it has been proven that
be has told nothing but the truth. ; His
statement is thus reported by a corre
spondent of the St. Louis Globe-Demo-:rat:
"Last Sunday aftornoon I notioed
what appeared to be a large greon-look-ing
cloud coming from a westerly direc
tion , toward my house. It was a long
distance off, and the rain was falling
heavily. Shortly aftorward it became
very cold, in fact so cold that I went in
doors, lit a bii? fire and put on a big
heavy coat. When I came out again tho
big green cloud was almost over tho
house, and the air was as Cold as on a
wintor day. Tbe wind howled and the
hail fell in stones as big 3 eggs. AH
this lasted twenty minutes, and then tho
sky cleared up and I felt more like my
self again.
"An hour after 1 was sitting with my
wife near the firo when I heard a horse
galloping at full speed, and when I went
out to Bee who it was there stood Jnko
Warren, a neighbor farmer who lives
about a mile and a quarter from me. He
was as pale as a ghost and was trembling
til over. It took him over ten minutes
to commence to tell me what he had to
say, and as he was talking I thought he
was crazy. '
"He stated that a big green oi?ud had
come over his place, and that sortiithinp
which looked like balls of fire had fallen
all around his house. , Uo had five
acres of corn growing in a field next to
the house. After tho storm had cleared
away he wont to see what damage had
boen done. He saw that some corn had
been blown down, and, entering the
field, bo found every stalk turned to
stone. There were two flnO hogs in tho
Held, and they, too, were petrified and
standing there as if cut out of solid rock.
Mysolf and wife thought tho man was
raving mad, but induced him to remain
over till morning, when we promised to
visit his place with him. That wo did,
and what wo flaw will bo remem
lierod so long as both live. There was
the corn blown down, but every stalk of
it was petrified. H was not as hard as
granite, but it appeared to be more like
soft stone.' I took my knife and cut it.and
it became powder. The ears were vory
hard, and they could not be broken with
the hand. Tho leaves wore brittle, and
and if you ptruck them they would break
like glass. . The. hogs were tliore, too,
looking natural enough, but they wore
as hard as stone."
George E. Henry, of this city, John
Rogers, Captain John B. Hull, ex-deputy
marshal, and several others rode
over the- mountains into Tennessee lo
see for thomsolves if tho things were
really there as represented. Captain !
Hull, ex-United States deputy marshal,
makes the following statement:
'We went over this morning. I
doubted the story " on starting, but
thought I'd try it, anyhow. We found '
Warren's farm about seven miles from '
the Cap, and there, sure enough, was 1
the corn-field completely petrified. Tho
stalks were somewhat blown down, but
they seemed completely turned to stone. 1
Tho two hogs were there also, and they
looked like they were carved out of
rock. It was the strangest sight I over
saw and I can't begin to describe tho
thing. Tboro were a number of men
guarding . the field with Winchester
rifles and they wouldn't let us go into
it. They only let us go to the fence.
We could touch some of tho corn stalks
and could see the hogs, but the men re
fused positively to let us go any further
than the fence. The women wouldn't
say why they would not let people go
into the field, but I presume they were '
afraid people would break tho corn
stalks to pieces. There was quite a
crowd there looking at the thing, and
everyone was thoroughly duinfouuded
with what they saw."
This statement is vouched for by a
number of others, and naturally there ia
considerable excitement.

'TWAS A COINCIDENCE
A Hay-Fork Agent'a Remarkable Dream
and What Came of It.
"I used to travel around the country with
a patent hay-fork," said the man with a
srreen patch on his left eye to a New York
Hun man, as il came his turn to tell a story.
"I am not going to say any thing about that
patent more than that no fnrmer ever got
any benefit from it. What I wwo to bring
out is what might be called a curious coin
oidence, and one that I lave kicked myself
over a hundred times.
"It was in this way," he continued, as he
got settled back on his seat. "Farmers
have their weak spots the same as other
folks. You can hit some of them by prais
ing their buildings, others by admiring
their horses, others, again, through their
hogs or calves. 1 had a way of hitting
hem all, and it worked to my great profit
avery time. When 1 got up in the morning,
after staying all night with a farmer, I got
off something as follows :
" 'I had a very curious dream last night,
t dreamed that I was digging out behind
i-our barn, just on a line with a big knot'
hole in the sixth board from the west end,
and I unearthed a tin box containing two
thousand dollars in greenbacks. Thedream
was so vivid that I almost, feel the box in
my hands. There's nothing in dreams, of
course, but I never had one which seemed
so real.'
"Mind you, I had taken notice of the
knothole the evening before. Sometimes I
fixed the pU e behind a barn, and some,
times near a stump, or so many paces from
a certain tree or straw Black ; but it was all
settled on beforehand. It wasn't one time
in twenty that a farmer would charge me
for my lodgings after giving him this
dream. It hit 'em plumb center, and they
were onlv too anxious to get me out of the
way, so they could begin digging."
"Uo on," said several voices, as be made
a long pause.
"Well, one morning, after lodging with a
farmer all night and getting his note for
fifty dollars for a hay fork, 1 related the
jsual dream in the usual way. This time it
was buried treasure beneath a stump near
his barn. 1 saw that be was hard hit at
once, and be left me eating breakfast and
went down to dig. 1 was chuckling over
his greenness when he came walking in
with a tin box under his arm."
"You don't say I"
"But I do, and it was a box be had dug
out a foot or so below the surface. It was
broken open right then and there, and may
I be drowned for a yolier dog if the contents
didn't pan out 14,025 in just as good green
backs as you ever saw."
"But but"
"There were no buts about it He found
the money and kept it, as was his right, and
no one ever came to claim it. This t'i bill
was a part ot it. He gavo it to me as a re
ward for my dream, and I'm keeping it as
a relio to show what a fool a man can make
of himself. That's all, gentlemen all ex
oept that I want some of you kick me as
soon as convenient"

A Blind Ulrl'a Remarkable Work.
There lives in Oak Hill, Tex., a blind
girl who has from a few ueres of land,
cultivated by herself, cleared about
8200 each season for several years by
the growing and sale of vegetables. She
began with no capital and the un
fenced piece of uncultivated land.
There is now a neat fence about her
domain, a well and pump in the center,
and Bhe has, in addition to purchasing
these, paid for a piano and a hack to
take her vegetables to the market,
which is twenty miles from her home.
Every evening during the dry season
she waters a certain number of plants,
until she has gone over the entire place,
when she begins agnin and goes over it
in the same way. Inwt life she de
tect from her acute Rense of hearing,
and grass and weeds are eauily distin
guished from pbinU by the aensitive
fingers of the blind gardener.

STANLEY'S BENEFACTOR
History of tha Great Explorer'a
Fostor-Father.
Starting tn New Orleans at an Early Age
He Hecnme Widely Known and
Itewpocted Deaertea by HI.
Adopted Children.
Many New Orleans citizens remember
Henry Hope Stanley, who adopted
Stanley, the explorer, nnd gave hire
his first upward start in life. Very few,
however, bave any recollection of Stan
ley, the famous traveler in Africa,
Henry Hope Stanley, says tbe New Or.
leans Post-Dispatch, was bora in Eng
land in 1815. He came of good family
and was highly educated. He had
a brother who was killed by a. fall frdrc
a carriage dunnjr the war. After nil
father's death, which occurred early in
Stanley's life, bis mother married at
Episcopal minister. She is Said to-be
still living and her son by the seebfti
marriage Inherited Stanley's fortune.'
The young Englishman was of inoV
pendent mind, and determined to carve
his own way to success. Accordingly
he came to America about 1837, first
landing in Charleston, S. C. There the
young man heard of the great west'and
made his way to Texas. He found 1 1
wife in the Lone Star state, but little
in the way of fortune, and the couple
determined to remove to the southern
metropolis. j
Although Stanley was twice married,
neither wife bore hira children. Their
kind hearts hunirered for the touch Of
baby fingers, and at vunou:) times the
household adopted little orphans and
bestowed as much love and care upon
them as if of their own blood. ' Strange
to say, none of these fatherless ones rfe
mained to com fort 'the closing years of
their benefactor's life. :
Joanna, the first adopted child, died
after hor marriage to a local druggist
who has also passed away. Henry
"Stanley Africanus" went into thf
world against his foster-father's wil!
and was never forgiven, whilo Annie,
who shared the home with the explotet-,
is said to have eloped with the coach
man. About this time Stanley made the ae
quaintance of an individual known U
"Cedar" Smith on account of his bust
ncss, which consisted in exportinp
Louisiana cedar. About !S43'they took
