The Smallest Man im New York.

From the New York Tribune.

Persons passing through Broadway late at night may have often seen a diminutive figure, with a broom a yard taller than himself, engaged with the night gang in cleaning the street. The little sweeper’s name is John Boilan and he lives at No. 538 East Eleventh st. Next to “Tom Thumb” or com- modore Nutt, “Little Johnny,” as he is called, is perhaps the smallest man, in this country. He lives in a small, dark rear room ofa big tenement house- An old woman who occupies an adjoin, ing room was asked if she knew him;

“Know Johnny,” was the reply; “ Bless, me! 1 have koown Johany for thirty years. Why Johnny is next to Tom Tum ; you've heard tell about Tom Tum?” ‘The old woman went on to relate numerous anecdotes about the smallest man in New York, when he appeared in person. He came up the steps and walked briskly into the room. He is not more than three feet tall, but very broad for his size. His head and neck are out of proportion to the rest of his body, being as large as those of a full-grown man. He was reticent at first, but gradually became more com- municative. He said he was forty- six years old, and was born at Bally- hochie, county Cavan, Ireland. There, he lived until he was twenty-one years old. In the old country Johnny had a small hoe and a spade made for him, and contentedly raised potatoes until his porents died and his brothers and sisters came to America.

Deserted by all his relatives, Johnny felt lonesome, and when the ship which took them away returned, he went to the captain and told him he was going to America also. The cap- tain advised him to stay in County Cavan, but his resolution was taken and he came to New York. His small stature was a sore trial to him at first. He was sensitive on the subject, and when he would venture into the streets a large crowd would follow him, and their curiosity so annoyed him that in sheer desperation he at last made his way to his friend the captain and told him he wanted to go back to Ireland. The captain soothed his wounded feel- ings and told him that when once he became known persons would stop an- noying him. So he went back and stolidly took no notice of the attention he attracted. He has lived in New York nearly twenty-five years, and for eight years has been employed on the street-cleaning force at full pay. “I can sweep two piles for any of the others’ one,’’ he said, sturdily straight- ening his litlle shoulders. Gentlemen sometimes offer him money but he re- fuses allalms. P. T. Barnum once of- fered him a lagre sum to exhibit him, but the proposal was refused.

A wonderful discovery of gold is re- ported to have been made in Montana ‘Territory, which, if it should prove genuine, will be likely to create another gold fever like that which sent so many visionaries to California in the early days of the gold-digging there. The gold is said to have been found in the snow range, or Shoshonee Moun- tains, where three men alone have taken 300 pounds of gold out in less than four months, using a hollow log

for a sluice-box, It is known as the Whitmore discovery.

The Greatest Medical Discovery since the Creation of Man, or since the Commencement of the Christian Era.

There never has been a time when the heal- ing of so many different diseases has been eaused by outward application as the present. It is an undisputed fact that over half of the entire population of the globe resort to the use of ordinary plasters.

DR. MELVIN’S CAPSICUM POROUS PLASTERS are acknowledged by all who have used them, to act quicker than any other plaster they ever before tried, and that one of these plasters will do more real service than a hundred of the ordinary kind. All other plasters are slow of action, and require to be worn continually to effect a cure; ‘Sut with these it is entirely dif- ferent: the instant one is applied the patient will feel its effect.

Physicians in all ages have thoroughly tested and well know the effect of Capsicum; an it has always been more or less used as a medical agent for an outward application ; but it is only of very recent date that its advan- tages in a porous plaster have been discovered. Being, however, convinced of the wonderful cures effected by DR. MrLvin’s CAPSICUM Porocs PLASTERS, and their superiority over all other plasters, they now actually prescribe them, in their practice, for such es as rheumatism, pain in the side and back, and all such eases as have required the use of pilasters orliniment. After you have tried other plas- ters and liniments, and they have failed, and you want a certain cure, ask your druggist for Dr. MELVIN’s CAPSICUM Porous PLASTER, You ean hardly believe fw own convictions of its wonderful effects. Although powerful and quick in its action, you can rely on its safety for the most delicate person to wear, as it is free from lead and other poisonous material commonly used in the manufacture ef ordin- ary plasters. One trial is a sufficient guarantee of its merits, and one plaster will sell hundreds to your friends.

Ask your druggist for DR. MELVIX’s CAPSI- cum Porovus PLASTER, and take no other; or, on receipt of 25 cents for one, $1 for five, or $2 for a dozen, they will be mailed, post paid, to any address in the United States or Canadas.
