A Puaf Story.

An Englishman was Dragging of the
speed of English railroads, to Yankee
traveller seated at his side. in one o.
the cars of a ''fast train" in England
The engine bell was rung, as the cars
neared station, which suggested to the
Yankee an opportunity of taking down
his companion peg or two"
"What's that noise?" innocently in
quired the Yankee.
"We are approaching a town. said
the Englishman? "they have to COM
mence ringing about ten miles before
they get to station, or else the train
would run by it before the bell could be
heard! Wonderful, isn't it? suppose
they haven't invented bells in America
yeti"
"Why, yes," replied the Yankee,
"we've got bells, but cannot use them
on our railroads. We run so tarnal fast
that the train always keeps ahead of the
sound; no use, whatever; the sound new
erreaches the village till after the train
gets by"
"Indeed!" exclaimed the Englishman.
"Fact," said the Yankee, chad to
give up bells. Then we tried steam
whistles-but they wouldn't answer,
either. l was on alocomotiye when the
whistle was tried. We were going at
a tremendous rate-hurricanes were no.

We saw two-horse wagon crossing the
track, about five miles ahead, and the
engineer let the whistle on, screeching
like trooper. 1t screamed awfully,
but it wasn't no use. The next thing I
knew, l was picking myself out of
pond by the road side, amid the
fragments of the locomotive, dead hor-
ses, broken wagon, and dead engineer
ying beside me. Just then the whistle
came along, mixed up with some fright
ful oaths that l had heard the engineer
use when he first saw the horses. Poor
fellow he was dead before his voice got
to him. After that we tried lights, sup
posing these would travel faster than
sound. We got some so powerful that
the chickens woke up all along the road
when we came by. supposing it to be
But the locomotive kept
ahead of it still, and was in the dark
ness, with the light close on behind it.
The inhabitants petitioned against it,

A live pelican with one wing broken,
was found floating in the Mississippi,
near St. Mary, Iowa, on the 4th Oct.
The Gazette of that place says the enor-
nous bird was captured, and measured
across the back, to thetips of the wings,
seven and a half feet, and five feet
from the point of the bill to the extrem-
ity of the tail: The pouch under the
bill was fifteen inches in length, and
would contain half a gallon. 1t was a
great curiosity IN Iowa, though common
near the mouth of the Mississippi.
