ISOLATION.

‘ . w
'BenOthodd, in The Churchman.

Alone, when first I Oped mine infant eyes
To view a world in dumb surprise.
Alone, a vessel on the trackless wave,

To sink into a lonely grave.

Alone, I pass along the crowded street,
, Which echoes ’neath a thousand feet.
Alone, 0 God? amid the human tide
Which passes me on every side.

Alone, when seated by the fire at night,
I dwell in fancy out of sight. ,
Alone, I watch the silent night away,
To meet another lonely day.

Alone, no brush can paint, no tongue can tell
The loneliness in which we dwell.

Alone is buried with each human heart,

All inward life. but guessed in part.

Alone, in light of everlasting day,

Our deeds stand out in long array.
Alone, before that awful judgment-seat,
We each must final sentence meet.

0 God! I dare not stand before thee there
With all my secret heart laid bare l
0 Christ! in mercy hear a sinner’s cry !
Oh, help me, save me, ere I die
Alone 1

What Mlss Kellogg saw in Italy.

Much good advice has been given to young
American girs with good voices but slender
purses who think they can go to Italy, live
cheaply there, and then astonish the world in
opera. Clara Louise Kellogg, who has just

' returned from a long stay in Europe, adds
her warning to those which have been given.
When she was in Italy she found “hundreds
and hundreds" of American girls there, many
of whom were in the direst distress. The
state of affairs she discovered was “some-
thing terrible." She talked with many of
the girls, investigated the truth of what they
said and then made an investigation of the
musical schools and theatrical agencies. She
says: “The average American girl goes to
Italy with a small sum of money, being un—
der the impression that the best masters
teach for little or nothing and that she will
breathe in musical genius and dramatic talent
by merely breathing in the balmy air of Italy.
She finds when she goes there that it costs
more money and more time to get evens
decent musical education than, her purse will
llow, but she studies and practices and bat-
tles and starvcs along, writing cheerful and
encouraging letters home for fear, friends and
family will recall her, and struggling for very
life all the while in Milan or some such city.
Injudlcious friends have told her that she
will be another Patti or Nilsson.and she hugs
and cherishes this mistaken idea with a fond
delusion and ambition at first and with a dull
dread of the reality and a tenacity of despair-
ing purpose under pinching starvation as
funds run low at the last that is piteous to
witness. Years have come and gone, and
she has been the usual round of the masters,
each of whom have taught her for a while
and then kindly bade her go home; that she
will never do anything great! But Mary is
under a fascinating delusion and she seeks
those who will buoy up her hopes. She falls
irlto the hands of less scrupulous masters.
So she goes on, from bad to worse, till she
finds herself penniless in Milan."

But this is not all. Miss Kellogg says that
the poor girls are too often set upon by a
certain unscrupulous set of men infesting the
musical Italian cities, who will do all in their
power, under promise of engagements, to
lead them away where their associations will
be such that they will be morally destroyed.
Even if a girl has a good, but not great voice
she can gain no public appearance except
under two conditions—she must buy her way
in or she must submitto the demands of
those influential friends of the management
whose word is law at the theatres. This,
says Miss Kellogg, is plain speaking. “ But
I tell you my investigations, the stories and
tears of poor girls who came to me in Italy
and told me their and tales, made me vow
that I would open my mouth and speak of
this through the land when I. came home.
I would say to mothers whose young (laughs
ters are leaving home with d'elusive dreams
of sunny days in Italy and an easy pathto
success-Keep your daughter at home unless
you can give her protection in watchful

- friends and an independent income. . I sayto
you. mothers. that you are sending your
daughters into temptation that you do not
appreciate. They will'be tried and tempted
as you cannot imagine. My investigations
in Italy have led me to believe your daughters
need not go abroad; that we have good mas-
ters here. I think it entirely unnecessary
for their ordinary musical education. When
that is finished then send them to Italy for a
short period to receive the finishing touches
and to learn certain roles and then to return.
Before they go you will have discovered
whether their voices will warrant that Italian
trip. Generally you can see for yourself it
is a useless undertaking. But do not think
that average merit will open'the stage doors
of Italian opera houses. It will not. And I
say this to you on the Word of more than one,
more than fifty, American girls whom I saw
there, as many of. whom as I could I sent to
their homes in America.”

Something of this kind has been said fre—
quently before by those qualified to speak
concerning the matter, but it has not had the
effect it should have had, judging from the
number of unfortunate and disappointed
Mexican girls Miss Kellogg saw in the Ita—
lion musical centres. Her warning is entitled-
to attention, and what she saysahoutmusical

‘tfaining in this country is also important.

Dr. D. Hayes Agnew, the chief surgeon
in attendance upon the President, was born
In Lancaster County, Pa., in 1818, graduated
as a physician at the University of Penn, in
1838, and after two'years of country practice
came to Philadelphia, where without friends
or influence he worked his way to promi-
nence, attracting attention first as a lecturer
on Anatomy. In 1834 he was appointed one
of the surgeons in the Philadelphia Hospital,
and in 1865 surgeon of the Pennsylvania
Hospital. He was also appointed surgeon
in- the Orthopedic and Willis Ophthalmic
Hospitals. He has filled the positions of
Demonstrator of Anatomy, and Professor of
Operative Surgery, Clinical Surgery, and the
Principle and Practice of Sugery respective-
ly, in the University. He was consulting
physician in the great :Army Hospital at
Chestnut Hill during the war, the largest
Hospital in the country. In this capacity
the most dangerous cases came under his
notice and the most trying operations fell to
his hands. A very large proportion of gun-
shot wounds was always, of course, among
the patients, and at one time the number of
these reached about five thousand. He is
characterized both as a writer and surgeon,
by his conservative and practical qualities.
He has been an extensive and authoritative
writer on anatomy and operative surgery,
and is very popular and lucid as a lecturer.
He is personally a very modest man, and
governed by a high sense of professional
duty. Hejis a member of the Presbyterian
Church. It is a somewhat curious coinci-
dence that Gen. Hancock was once under his
care when suffering gfrom an injury, and es-
timates his professional qualifications very
highly. '

According to the French journals, the pro.
jcct of tunneling the Alps under Mont Blanc
bids fair to assume a tangible shape, it being
pronounced by some of the most eminent
engineers a more practicable undertaking than
the Simplon route. The estimates of cost for
executing such a work are, in the case of
Simplon, $27,000,000, and in the case of
Blane some $12,000,000 less. It is further
claimed that the Mont Blanc tunnel will make
the journey from Paris to Genoa about nine-
ty-seven kilometers shorter, and from Paris
to Milan forty-four kilometers shorter, than
by the Simplex route. ‘

The President’s Wife.

 

lN-Y.Tim08.

When Gen. Garfield attained the exalted
station of the chief magistracy of the Repub-
lic, the record of his life was familiar to the
peeple as that of few of his predecessors had
been, He was a “divinely gifted man," who
had battled his way upWard from a low es-
tate until he had become

-—"on fortunc’s crowning slope
The pillar of a people's hope,
The centre of a world’s desire." ,

The struggles through which he had pass-
ed, the successes which he had won in mak-

. ing “ by force his merit known.” had made

his career one of special interest to all class-
es. He had long filled a large place in the
public view, and his varied experience in
political life enabled him to bear himself
among the leading men of the Nation with
as much. confidence as if he had been born
with all the advantages of the most favored.
But little was known of the lady whom he
was to bring to grace the Presidential man-
sion with her presence. She had been heard
of only as the wife and mother of an upre-
tending Ohio home. Washington society
had seen nothing of her. There may have
been misgivings as to the figure she would
cut presiding over the 'stately hospitalities
of the White House and associating
with the showy motions of the official circle
at the capital. In her youthful days she
had been a school teacher, and the sturdy
man who chose her for a life companion had
followed the same occupation in the course
of his upward progress. It Was in that field
where so many of the best qualities of Amer-
ican character are enlisted, that they were
brought together.

Mrs. Garfield’s married life had been in
the strictest sence a home life, devoted
wholly to the duties and ministrations of
the family circle. It may easily be imagined
that she looked forward with a sort of dread
to the social requirements of her new po—
sition at the capital. Perhaps she was not
born to shine in society, perhaps she had no
tasté for its pageantry or its pleasures, and
it maybe that she would never have acquit-
ted herself, with special brilliancy either as
the head of an official household or as the
central figure in the shows and festivities of
the “season” at Washington. But a greater
distinction than any of these awaited the
devoted wife and mother. Her first days in
her new home had been spent in sickness,
aggravated, no doubt, by; apprehensions
arising out of the exigencies of her position
and she had by no means recovered her
strength when July 2 fell upon her and upon
the Nation. Then came the grand test of
womanly character, and the qualities that are
developed in the ministrations of home life
rose into sublimity. Nothing has ever touch-
ed the heart of this Nation with such an ax-
alting influence as the tender solicitude of
the strong man stricken down for the wife
to whom the blow would be severer than to
him, and the heroic fortitude and devotion
with which this “gentlest of gentle woman -
kind,’ bore the shock and addressed herself
to the duties which it brought.

In these few weeks of trial and anxiety
Mrs. Garfield has achieved a distinction
grander and more lasting than ever before
fell to the lot of a Presidentfs wife. It has
won recognition the world over and brought
words'of sympathy from the Queen of the
proudest realm in Christendom. ,But the
great trial of that household and the dark
shadow of possible bereavement and sorrow
abolished the petty distinctions of this
world's pomp and grandeur. The patient
heroism, the cheerful self sacrifices the un—
faltering devotion of the wife by the bed—
side of her suffering husband, were more
than birth or fortune or queenly robes.
What in comparison were the most brilliant
triumps of the hostess at feasts of state or of
the leader in the parades of fashionable .so—
cietyJ If, in answer to the united prayers'
of a Nation, this gloom that overhangs the
historic mansion at the capital should yet
break away and the heavens shine again with
hope and joy for the faithful heart, the fame
of Mrs. Garfiield would be all-sufficient. She
would not need to heed the demands of an
eXalted social position unless she saw fit.
She would be secure in the esteem and the
tender regard of the whole people who care
more after all for the simple virtues and the
sweet influences of home than for all the
shows and pretentious of society. And if
the dread alternative of the heroic sufferer's
death must be faced, if the bitter cup is not
to pass from the‘quivering lip that would
fain put it away,in the darkness of her widow-
hood she may find some cheer in the affect-
ionate regard of great a people and the con~
sciousness that her example of faithful de.
votion will exert a purifying influence in
millions of households.

A Boy's Heroism.
Chicago Inter-Ocean.

A new machine for mixing concrete has
been constructed by the Chicago City
Railway Company, to be used,’ when finished
in building the track for their cable. This
machine is most remarkable in appearance. i
Viewed from a distance it looks like a huge 1
monster watching for its prey. Its tail of :
coiled iron extends along the street to the
[north for a distance of fifty feet. Its shape-
less body of rough machinery, with boiler,
engine, tender, tank, belts, wheels, troughs,
cross pipes and braces naturally excites
wonder. while it defies analysis. In front of
its head, reaching forward, perhaps ten or
fifteen feet, like the black feeler of a tarant-
ula, is a coil of iron incased in wood. What-
ever may be said concerning this affair, it is
original and should be seen by all. As it
resembles nothing on earth or in sea, or sky.
it probably has no power of propagation,
and its like will never appear again. It has
been described in repose, but it should be
seen in action. Steam, smoke and dust
arise in its path, and its tread shakes the
ground fornearly a block away. That this

ouster should be the object of universal

riosity, and’draw about it crowds of men,
women and children, is a matter of no sur-
prise. Among those thus attracted was James
Hennessey, the son of Patrick Hennessey, a
well-to-do grocer, doing business near by.
The little fellow was all curiosity, like ev-
erybody else, to see the wonderful machine.
He was sitting on the edge of the wooden
frame that held the long iron coil, when
suddenly, without the slightest notice or
warning, startling and surprising everybody
in the vicinity, the vast machinery from one
end to the other for sixty or seventy feet
began to move, and poor Jimmy was thrown
upon the coil and hislittlc feet and legs
broken and drawn under. By his side was
his playmate Charles Steinert, who, seeing
the situation, caught James by the arms and
shoulders and tried his strength against the
awful machinery to save his life. While so
doing his hand was drawn under the coil and
nearly severed from the wrist. Then, but
not till then, did he yield his grasp to see his
playmate crushed and mangled before him.
We have heard of men who in the gtrength
of mature years, have exposed their lives
for others, but never have read in history or
romance of an act of personal heroism that
outranks this in merit. ,A kid but eight
years of age,§tanding firm amid the dust and
rattle and sudden movement of this great
,machine, when men fell back with fear, an
throwing his arms around ghis companion to
save him at the risk of his own life, isa
touching picture of child valor and devotion
which will be rembembered long after the
solid concrete and iron braces of the State
street track shall have mouldered and decay-

Some weeks ago a young man in Danbury
lost his arm-in a railroad accident. Since
then, according to The Democrat, of that
place, he has been seriously troubled by pains
as of the cramping of the fingers and thumb
of the missing arm. He felt the pain, al—
though he knew well that therc was no arm
there. At last the lost arm was exhumed,
and it was found that the fingers and thumb
were cramped in t the manner he had de-
scribed when s g the pain. They were
put. in a comfortable position and returned to
their grave, whereupon the patient was re-
lieved of the pain, and has suffered no more

with it since.

Yet, while nations' are pcrishing, the
schools of the nations are silent about 'their
destroyer and the destruction. A hundred
years ago our fathers struggled for national
independence and won it with their blood.
Patriotism put the story into every textbook
where it could be told or referred to, and as
a result largely of that fact the children grew
up a generation of patriots. A more terrible
enemy than the enemies of George III. has
invaded our beautiful country and is now in
almost full possession of our territory and
our institutions. The schools should again
serve their country by training every boy
and girl to haste and oppose the invader,
and help expel him from the land—Ree.

If those of us who know nothing of an
appetite for stimulants are affected by the
use of alcoholic wines at the Lord's table,
how must the reformed inebriate be affected
by its odor and taste! It can not fail to carry
him back, by the laws of association which
he cannot control, to all the scenes of his
degraded life, to every debauch in which he
has participated, with their innumerable ac-
companiments—oaths, obscenity, fighting,
suffering, and abuse of friends and family.

Is it desirable to revive these loathsome
scenes in his mind as often as the table of
the Lord is spread, and to revive them in

At a former day all associations outside of
the church—voluntary societies they were
called—for moral and religious reforms were
fiercely and bitterly opposed by certain good
men; but that day has passed away never
to return. The whole church has come to
understand and to receive the doctrine that
those who cast out devils, though they may
not follow the church under the direct au-
thority of ecclesiastical control, are not to
be forbidden. Temperance societies are not
anti-Christian nor anti-church; but simple
inter-denominational, Christian men and
women unite in the temperance cause, and
combine their counsels and influence in doing
a work common to all denominations, and it
would be anti-Christian to oppose this asso-

While it is true that during the last thirty
years I have not prescribed for internal use
the aggregate amount of one quart of any
kind of fermented or distilled drinks, either
in private or hospital practice, yet I have
continued to have abundant opportunities
.for observing the effects of these agents as
given by others with whom I have been in
council; and simple truth compels me to
say that I have never yet seen a case in
which the use of alcoholic drinks. either in—

If any one will take the trouble to examine

large general hospitals, of both Europe and
America, for the last half-century, I venture
the statement that the ratio of mortality
from general fevers and acute diseases will
be found to have increased, part passu, with
the increase in the quantity of alcoholic
drinks consumed in their ' treatment. A
similar examination of the vital statistics of
different nations and communities will show
a close relation between the relative mortali-
ty from consumption, scrofula, apoplexy,
paralysis, and hepatic, cardiac, and, dropsies
and the amount of alcoholic drinks consum—
ed by thc people—N. S. Davis. MD, LAD

were built for the manufacture of Sulphuéic

loss to the owners. Is there any analogy
here that argues for us in our protest against
the saloon? Is there no reason for us to ask
that, according to equal justice, these chim-

The church ought to be a kind of szone-
generator to supply the vital elements of a
pure public sentiment,amid the vitiated at-
mosphere of modern politics. I speak de-
liberately when I express my conviction that
if our American Christians were united,
ministers and people, ecclesiastically and po-
litically, to a man, in a determined, unrelent-
ing effort to abolish the liquor-traffic, it
would be put down. We are 'not helpless
against the evil. God has lodged the power
to conquer the foe in the-hands of the nation,
if we can only bring it to bear. Is the fault,

CHICAGO, 10., Aug. 28.—A special from
Quincy gives the following facts relative to
the burning in effigy of the editor of the
Herald; “0n the 11th inst, the editor of the
Daily Herald, in a leading editorial, issued
this language : “We believe that Guiteau to
be just as honorable as the man he shot, and
a mighty sight less dangerous to the country
at large." The Herald editor has, from time
to time since that date. reiterated and ag—
gravated this statement by such assertions as
‘When the doctors finish Guiteau's work, as
they seem likely to do, there will be no
national sorrow.’ He also added that he had
the support ‘of all reputable Democrats
cverywhere.’ Public indignation against the
Herald ran high among reputable Democrats
as well as Republicans, and the feeling of
anger accumulated last night in the hanging
and burning in effigy of the Herald, together
with a companion effigy of Guiteau. In this
demonstration both Republicans and Demo-
crats were engaged. but no personal violence
of any kind was attempted or proposed.”

The researches of Scientific men have
shown that thought is not so rapid as is
usually believed, but that every action of
the brain requires an appreciable time.
Hirsch proved that less time is required to
recognize a touch than a sound, and that it
took more time to see than to hear, but the
question still remained as to what part of the
time was consumed in the act of recognition:
This problem was solved by Donders. By
means of very ingenious apparatus, he has
found that the double act of recognizinga
sound and giving a response occupied seven-
ty-tive thousandths of a second, of which
forty thousandths were required for the sim- ‘
ple act of recognition; leaving thirty-five
thousandths for the act of volition. One
twenty~fiftll of a second was occupied in
judging which of two irritants was acting.
upon the same sense; but a slightly longer
time was necessary to determine the priority
of signals sent by different senses. as those,
of hearing and seeing. The described re-
sults were obtained from a man of middle
age, the young were somewhat quicker; but
the average of many experiments showed
that the time required for a simple thought
is never less than the fortieth of a second.
The mind, therefore, at its greatest activity,
can perform not more than twenty-four hun-
dred simple acts per minute—not a very
great speed when it is considered how many
of these “simple acts" must be combined to
form any process of reasoning or continued
thought..

In a single catacornb in upper Egypt thirty
six well-preserved sarcophagi of royal per-

It is stated on the authority of the Direc-
tor of the St. Pctersburg Central Observato-
ry, that all the Arctic meteorological stations
of the international series willsoon be open-
ed. Thc stations proposed are: At Uperna-
vic, by Denmark; in Northern Finnmarken,
by Norway; on the Jan Mayen Island, and,
if possible, on the western coast of Grou-
land, by Austria-Hungary; on Spitzenbergen,’
by Sweden; on Nova Zembla—already
opened—and at the mouth of Lena River, by
Russia; on Point Barrow and in Lady
Franklyn Bay, by the United States. Several
Anti-arctic stations,by different governments,
havebeen suggested,and are 'to be considered.
The method ‘of‘ observation to be adopted
for all these stations is to be established by an
international conference at St. Petersburg.

M. Tissandier is ha'ving constructed in
France an elongilted balloon, to be driven by
a small and very light electric motor. The
force in the first experiments will be suppli-
ed by an electric accumulator, which will
develop considerable energy for a brief
period.

Botanists in the Fontainebleau district of
France have noticed a considerable change in
the flora of that region in recent times. A
number of species have disappeared, chiefly
on account of the severe winters. The win-
ters of 1564, 1709, 1788 and 1879-80 were
disastrous to vegetation, especially in places
but little protected by snow. Among the
plants which have been frozen out, or nearly
so, in central Frsnce, are ‘ the maritime pine
(the loss of which was a national misfortune),
the broom heather, ivy, holly and box. The
elder, the oak, the chestnut and .the walnut
have all seriously suffered. The loss to tho
Fontainebleau'flora in these and other species
is replaced to some extent by the appearance
of various new species.

M. Roman, a French engineer, states that
the cultivation of the interesting plant, the
Sofa or Saga, has been largely developed in
Hungary and in various parts of France. He
thinks that it may in the future become as
important an article of food as the potato.
It grows in any soil, even the dryest; and
the plant is an excellent fodder for cattle.
The seeds are very nutritious and, and have
the form oflsmall kidney beans. An agree—
able soup may be made from them. The
Chinese use them for various kinds of cheese,
to make a condiment with oil, etc. In
France, the seeds have been roasted like
coffee, and M. Roman says the decoction of
the Soja bean is very similar to that of aver-
age coffee.

M. de Fonviellc has described the spear-
aucc of the great comet as seen from a bal-
loon on the occasion of his recent ascent at
midnight. The brightness of the comet in-
creased as the balloon ascended, this
increase of brilliancy being very marked.
The tail appeared 'a little longer than when
seen from the earth’s surface, but most re.
markable was the manner in which it termi-
nated, for it was cutoff straight, as if a line
were drawn over it horizontally with a ruler.
The appearance of the tail was as if pro-
duced by myriads of large stones traveling
in planetary space independently of the
comet, and having no other connection with
it than that of being temporarily lighted by
the rays which its atmosphere had caused to
deviate, more or less, from their natural
course. This multitude of fragments of
worlds would, therefore, produce the same
effect as dust lighted by a ray of sunlight
admitted to a dark room through a crevice.
M. de Fouville cxpouuds this theory at some
length. He also insists upon thoimportance
of ballooning in astronomical~ investigations.

 

The Golden Rule asks : "After the Sunday
dinner what? Well, it all depends. A per—
son whosc brain is wearied with intellectual
work during the week. or whose nervous
system is exposed to the strain of business or
professional life, ought to sleep within an
hour or two after his Sunday dinner, if he
can. It is surprising how much like a seven-
day clock the brain will work, if the habit
of a ‘Sunday nap’ be once formed. Nature
will take advantage of it as regularly and
gratefully as she does of the nightly sleep,
and do her best to make up lost time. Peo-
pic, on the other hand, whose week of toll is
chiefly physical, may well give their minds
activity While their body is resting. Two
sermons and three or four hours of solid
reading are a real rest to some on Sunday,
while to others such a course amounts to a
positive Sabbath-breaking. Sunday is a day
of rest, not work, religious or otherwise.
But what the dogmatists on one side and the
illiberal liberals on the other are apt to over-
look is the fact that all men do not rest alike
any more than they labor alike, and what
may help one maykill another."

This man, who never knew the joys of real
home, died alone and unhappy in this far-

 

Consulat Tunis, who told us some interest-
ing things in connection with the last years
of our unfortunate countryman, who died in
the same room in which we were then sit-
ting.

In a small inclosure, planted with cypress
trees, and shut in with high walls, we found
this quiet resting-place of the dead, among
many tombs of foreign Consuls, English,
German. and other nationalities. Our atten-
tion was first attracted to the plain whit?
marble slab, resting on a square foundatio
and overhung by an immense pepper tree,
whose long, graceful branches reminded us
of the weeping willow of our own .land. We
stood with uncovered heads as we read this
simple inscription: '

‘ J ours HOWARD PAYNE.
Twice Consul of the United States,
Died April 1, 18524;

Born at Boston, June 8, 1792.

Sure, when the gentle spirit fled
To realms beyond the azure dome,
With arms outstretched, God’s angel said,
“Welcome to Heaven’s Hm,Swoet Home.”
. Tum‘s (Afnha) Letter.

 

After being married for nearly fifty years
an Indiana couple are trying to secure a
divorce . The desireto end their last days
in peace and quietness appears to be irresist—

Molly at the gate.

 

From the Independent.

I left liloily Gain this mornirl’ behind mop

Leanin’ over the gate there, to kiss me
good-by;

She’s the lovliest lass around old Killarny,

And my heart is so heavy I’m ready to die

I think of her face now, as fair as a daisy,
Of her beautiful hair and her pretty bare
feet;

And och! I’m afraid they’ll be thinkin’ me
Crazy, .
The friends that I pass and the strangers 3

greet. '

Now, don’t you be mockin’ my grief will your
folly,

And tryin‘ to fill up my heart wid good
cheer;

Sure tllerc’salo one can half take the place Of
my Molly,

And I’m alone always unless she is near.

0

I’m watching the wild'birds, and wonder no
longer

That none builds a nest without help of its
main; -

Ahl it’s only half life I liverwbilc I wander,

And I’m going right back to my girl at the
gate. ' Roman/r Wnsr.

The convention of doctors from all over
the state, which has been in session here this
week, was composed of the best practition.
ers and able-st men of their profession to be
found anywhere. There were no Charlatans
no frauds or quacks among them that we
know of, and their meeting must have been
one of profit to themselves and of ultimate
benefit to the people who will be under their
care. There was one laughable thing- oc—
curred at one of their meetings. The yard
masters of the United States were having a
convention here at the same time, and a rail-
roader who knew a yard master got in a
little too much bug juice by some' unac-
countable mistake, and on inquiring where
the convention was being held, was directed
to the hall being occupied by the doctors.
He weut‘in pretty full, and took a seat dc-
twecn two doctors and fell asleep. When
he woke up he saw a lot of counterfeit
pieces of human frame on the table, a sort
of manikin taken apart. There were livers
and lungs, and arms and legs, bones and
everything, and a doctor was illustrating
some operation he had performed. The '
railroad fellow Opened his eyes as big as
head—lighter. Turning to the doctor on his
left he punched him in the ribs and said:
“Been a nac (hie) cident ?” The doctor saw
the man was full, and supposing he was
some country doctor that had been chloro-
formed by designing persons, and filled up
against his will, he said: “Yes, been a terri—
ble accident.” The intoxicated railroader
asked, as he sat up straight and tried to look
wise: “Wuzzit a clish’n, or engine blowcd
up i" The doctor'said it was a train wrecked
and he took another seat, while the railroad-
or turned to the other doctor and said: “I
saw aswlfch (hie) ginc run over a tramp
once and cutemllllup. Les go out and take a
drink.”

There was one passenger—a woman—on a
Louisville and Nashville Railroad train, the
other day, who evidently believed that rail-
roads Wcre made for the people, and not the
people for railroads By some untoward
mischauce she dropped her artificial teeth
from the car window. The thought of going
among her friends at Nashville all toothless
was not to be endured, so .she summoned the
conductor and ordered that the train be taken
back :to Louisville, or to. the nearest town
where a dentist was to be found. > The con—
ductor demurred, and finally compromised

' the matter by {stopping the train five minutes

While the woman's husband ran back to hunt
up the teeth. When this time expired, ho
had not returned, and the train was started -
on Without him. Forthwith the wife sought
the conductor, and demanded that it be
stopped, that she might get off and stay with
her husband. The conductor hesitated.
The Wife remarked, “Stop this train and put
me off, or I’ll put a bullet through you."
Here was business, and the train was backed
to the place where the husband was, and he
got on again, but without having found
the missing {treasure Then the wife ‘
insisted that the train be “turned around
and go back to Louisville.” - This the' cou—
ductor, having locked himself in the baggage
car to avoid the threatened bullet, refused to
do, and the train went on with its toothless
but iram passenger. On reaching the next
station an offer of reward for the recovery
of the teeth was telegraphed back. and they
were found and sent on by the next train.—
