THE STOEY OF THE COLORADO STONE MAN. The true history of the "Colorado petrified man" that was exhibited re cently in New York has just been re vealed. It was made at Elkland, a little mountain town in northern Pennsylva nia, by George Hull, the maker of the Cardin Giant. The facts were made inownbv E. J. Cox. justice of the peace at Hornellsville, on the Erie road, who had a financial interest in the humbug, but was so badly misused by Hull that he felt no longer under obligations to eep the matter secret. All of Coxs statements have been verified by a re porter who visited Elkland early this week. It appears that Hull rented a farm at Elkland in 1873. and as soon as ho was established he built an ice house as he called it. in which he constructed an arch kiln of brick. Ground stone, giound bones, clay, plaster, blood, eggs and other materials were used in form ing this image, which was then baked six months in the kiln. Hull spent much time and several thousand dollars in experiments. He said he had perfected himself in the necessary scientific knowledge, and that he would net make a ngure again. Hull unluckily broke his first giant in get ting it out of the kiln, but succeeded better in his second venture, and had the satisfaction, early last year, of see ing the completion of his laborious work. Besides Cox, a man named Case had a financial interest in the giant. A piece of a man's skull was put in the head, and bones were inserted in nu meron3 places in the limbs. "I think," say Mr. Cox, "that Hull must have spent $10,000 or $12,000 in making ex periments and molding and baking his giant." Hull had succeeded in making a stone giant, for the baked composi tion was just like stone; but it was a white elephant on his hands. He had no money to plant it with. This led him to apply to Barnum, whom he visited at Bridgeport, Conn. Barnum said he wasn't going to buy a pig in a bag, and would send out a man to look at the invention. Mr. Barnum sent George Wells, who came quietly and stopped at the Elkhorn Hotel as a horse trainer, who desired to look at Hamble tonian stock in the neighborhood. In the evening he was taken to the ice house, where he viewed the wonder, expressed his astonishment and delight at Hull's excellent workmanship, and said he believed that Barnum would buy. The great showman finally agreed to pay $2,000 down, to share the expen ses of planting, and to own a certain share of the giant. On March 12th of last year the giant was wrapped with cotton cloth and put in a stout box, well bound with iron, which was provided with a false lining, And directed to Bridgeport, Conn. At midnight it was put in a wagon and taken to Addison, eleven miles distant, on the Erie road. Hull made a second trip to Bridgeport, where, on March 2Gth, an agreement was drawn up and signed by the stockholders ef the Giant Company, Barnum, Hull, Wells and Case. The first intention was to bury the giant in some isolated Connecticut valley; but Barnum said it would never do, and Hull, when he returned, said they had changed their plans and were going to plant the giant in the Rocky mountains. He went to New York on April 8th and joined W. A. Conant, who was in Barnum's empley. They shipped the giant to Colorado Springs, and then reshipped it a3 local freight to Pueblo. Hull was absent about six weeks, and on his return said that the GIANT WAS SUCCESSFULLY PLANTED. Conant went as a professor in charge of a party in search of geological speci mens, ne remained to watch the de posit. When Hull returned east ho said the giant was just as ready o dig up then as it would be in five years, but that Barnum had gone to Europe and would not be back till Alienist. The lifting of the giant was therefore delayed until Barnum s return, when he went to Colorado, ostensibly to look alter his stock larm, and lecture on temperance. His real object was to be near at hand when the giant was ex humed. Hull knew it would never do to have the Cardiff giant recognized as having anything to do with the Colora do giant; so he assumed the name of George II. Davis, cut his hair short, i . i snaved his moustache, put a hump oa his back, and disguised himself as a stoop-shoHldered farmer. Cox mean time was getting anxious to know what share of the financial harvest he was to reap, but he could only obtain va promises from Hull. To make the sale to Barnum. Hull had been compelled to conceal from the showman Cox's knowledge and interest. Cox told Hull he WOULD HAVE HI 3 PAY OR HE WOULD TALK Hull returned to Colorado, but the ne cessity of keeping Cox quiet soon brought him back, and he then concil iated Cox by offering him one twenty sixth of his own interest. A contract was drawn up to this effect, and Hull then returned to Colorado. When he reached Pueblo he found that Conant. who, as he expressed it, had been fool ing with the giant, had broken off the head and one leg. Hull was enraged ana a quarrel ensuei. However, the giant was skillfully mended, and the discovery was made according to the plan. Jjarnum appeared on the ground ana ollered $20,000 for the find, which KjKjuixm, iciuaBu wiiu scorn, ne peo- pio uegaii to laugn at JLJarnum, and he ouered a reward of 10,000 to any man "uu piue mat me giant was maae by chisel, 'lhen came the test. Barnum paid Professor Taylor $100 and his expenses to go out and BORE INTO THE GIANT. Hull had lent an attentive car to the talk of the scientific men, and was as 1 tonished to learn that a kind of crystal ought to be found on boring into the arm of the petrified giant. Hull ob tained crystal to correspond, and by sleight of hand exchanged it for tbe dust of the boriDg implement, which was first handed to him by Professor Taylor. When the giant arrived at Quincy, Illinois, Barnum; who was then in Washington, ordered it to be brought to New York, and its subse quent history is known. Cox has re ceived no share of the proceeds of the exhibition, and decided on that account to make his knowledge public. The enterprise has been a losing one all around, and much surprise is ex pressed here that Barnum should in a o'.ve himself in this worn-out scheme of humbuggery. The giant was exhib ited at the New York aquarium for sev eral weeks, but it failed to draw. It is now among the curiosities of the New York Museum of Anatomy. 1 Masculine Costume. HABILIMENTS THAT ABE INC0SVESIENT. UNPHYSIOLOGICAL, AND ABSURD. Fashion never invented a more un- physiological garment than that which, for a quarter of a century, has been the distinguishing glory of the wiser sex. Tens of thousands of men suffer from wearing it agonies quite as acute as any that women inflict upon themselves by their suicidal dress; and it is probable that doctors know the cause or aggrav ation of their trouble, just as they know the cause of the ailments of women, and feel that the patient would endure any amount of suffering, and death itself, rather than wear unfashionable gar ments. We have much talk of the inconven ience of "pull-backs;" but whoever saw a man lift anything from the ground without taking both his hands to draw up his pantaloons, so as to make room for the bend of his knees, and feeling that he risked his suspender buttons, and accommodated his motions to the fear of losing them ? Day by day our most sensible men get into garments which interfere with motion to ay but an upright position quite as mueh a the most ultra pull-back worn by the silli est butterfly of fashien. They also dis tort the outliaes of their figure quite as mucn as ao women, ouppose one er them were made with lower limbs of cylindrical form ! How would he feel about it? How would he use a pair of legs as thick at the ankle as above the knee ? Yet this is the shape they all make themselves. They also put o long boots and pantaloons over tkem conducting the gases from the feet up around the body, and keeping it in a foul vapor bath. There is no more ap propriate covering for a man's foot and leg than a cavalry beet; but it should be worn with knee breeches and the top fastened up to the belt. Pantaloons and long boots were not made to go to gether; and the pantaloons in any case, is an awkward contrivance, always flop ping around the ankle, impeding loco motion and catching dirt. Next, consider the physiological prop erties of a modern shirt, which covers the chest with a slab of linen as imper vious to light and air as a marble head stone! Consider the neck-band, which must not lack more than the sixteenth of an inch of strangling the wearer, and must be as hard and solid as the brass collars worn by our Saxon fore-fathers in the British Isles as a token of their subjection to their lords, jast as their sons now wear their counterpart in evi dence of their bondage to their French dictators. Think of the wristbands, which more resemble handcuffs than dress; and the paper collars, with their poison dre6siags, to which sensible men have sacrificed their lives. Look at the buckram pads used to give the appearance of unnatural breadth to the shoulders, which pro ject like the roof of an overshot barn. and leave the sleeve hanging bv the eaves, giving a painful impression of insecurity or invisible brackets to sup port that particular architectural de sign ! The amount and quality of buck ram masonry to keep up this false ap pearance must be very injurious to the muscles of the shoulder, while the fold upon fold of eloth worked into a collar aids in the debilitating process. Y hv should a man s shoulders, and chest, and neck, be shingled any more than a woman s waist weatherboarded ? In both cases, that inflexibility is sacri ficed to a falsa and spurious taste. The idea suggested is that of a mixture, and women aro sa l caricatures of humanity. Women bear their bondage more easily than men, for one never sees a woman in public try to relieve the pressure on her poor, pinched sides; but one seldom talks ten minutes with a man without seeing him run his fin gers round between hi3 pinched neck and inflexible collar of servitude. The muscles are always demanding room to expand and contract always want space in which to move and this Fash ion does not allow. The man tries to relieve the cramped muscle, but must obey Fashion, and so is fidgety and shows his discomfort. Uut the most absurd part of a man s attire is his head-gear the unaccount able things he wears on the top of his head, alike in a prairie storm or an over heated railroad car. The baldness of about one-third at forty does not teach them anything. They go on sacrificing hair and head to hat; and a shiny, still, air-tight steeple on his cranium is the crowning glory of a man's life. Take it all in all, I cannot see that women would gain anything by adopt ing a masculine costume, and think the brethren may be at ease in their pos sessions. Even Mary Walker declines its adoption, and no other woman is likely to dispute with such a prize. Mars Sicisshelm in the Chicago Tribune. Music akd Morals. It seems to be a generally received opinion that every girl of average ability should be taught music, and the piano-forte is the mstru ment of torture commonly selected Certainly music has a refreshing and elevating tendency if it is music in any sense of the word. But the sounds elicited from the piano too frequently fail to come under this head. Happily the "little music of the drawing-room often merely serves as a cover for con versation. But there are occasions when one is compelled to listen, and then sensitive ears suffer keenly from discordant sounds. And yet one has to listen to these performances as though they were all that could be desired. The fair performer, however shy and awkward at commencing, does not re quire much pressing to continue. Her accomplishment is the result of many dreary mornings of practice, of much toilsome manipulation of stubborn fin gers; nay, very possibly, of rapped knuckles and bitter tears, It would bo cruelty not to ask her to go on, and Bhe does go on. Why is it that the per formance of most amateur pianists is so inferior ? The truth is, the difficulty of playing even decently upon the piano forte is commonly very much under rated. The mere mechanical obstacles which have to be overcome before the fingers can be made the ready interpre ters of the composer's thought are very considerable, and demand long and un sparing devotion to what is, in itself, repulsive drudgery. Again, to become a good player, the learner must have a talent for music a gift which is not bestowed upon every woman. In a large number of cases, music lessons are thrown away, owing to defect in taste or ear on the part of the pupil. The education of women in this conn try is still under bondage to foolish tra ditions; and one of the first measures toward its reform would be the reduc tion of what are called accomplishments to their legitimate proportions.
