T The Rochester American says that
the midnight train from Buffalo, last
Wednesday night, ran upon a man a few
miles west of Batavia, and knocked him
through series of most astounding
ground and lofty tumbling. He was the
regular switch tender at that point, and
while waiting for the train, which was
fully up to time, had seated himself on
the end of tie, and was quietly asleep.
The Cow Catcher" struck him and
damaged his appearance considerably.
The train was stopped, and men went
back upon the track to look after the
person. He was found making his way
home with his signal lantern in his hand.

They talk to me Of Others.

They'talk to me Of others.
As fair, they say, as thou,
With eye as darkly glorious,
With such a godlike brow;
They speak of wealth and station
IT'S all in vain to me;
For while they think of others,
/ think alone Of thee.
They tell me time is fecting,
And youth will soon be o'er;
They bid me seek the present,
And nurse the past no more;
They point to me the future,
so lone as it must be-
They know not that my spirit,
Is linked for aye to thee.
They cannot, cannot move mo,
My purpose is my own;
10 outward eye it may be.
| walk the world alone;
My inward world is peopled
With thought and feeling free,
And life can meier be lonely,
While may think of thee.

GJ The Circlcville Herald has tried in
that office the experiment of setting type
by female, and says: "a lady friend of
ours, last week, learned the boxes, did
small ironing, and set 4,5O0 ems in four
days. We do not know what the expert
ence Of others may be, but we have never
known any boy apprentice to do much
over half as well. To hire a man to do
the same work would cost us So 10. In
addition, our lady typo read and corrected
her own Sticks part of the business
few boys will master well in a month"
The Geauga Republic has also tried it.
That paper says: "a young lady yester-
day commenced type setting in this office.
She learned the boxes, and set 1900 ems
of bourgeois before o'clock, p NJ. 1t

Constantinople.

Our readers will find in the following,
which we clip from the Boston Traveller,
an interesting sketch of Constantinople,
to which recent events have impaired
more than ordinary Importance.
The late important news irum Turkey,
in Europe, was, by somewhat startling
coincidence, received here on the 400th
anniversary of the conquest of Constan-
tinople, and of the final destruction of the
ancient Roman empire, by the Ottomans
or Turks.
The city Of Constantinople, founded
more than $500 years ago. and during
the first 1000 years, known as Byzan-
tium, was subsequently, to $50 A. c.,
called after its restOrer, the Emperor
Constantine, who removed to it from
Rome; and it continued the seat of gov
ernment of the Eastern Roman empire
for about 1000 years after the Western
had been overthrown.
According to Gibbon, the city, which
had been already besieged for 53 days by
the Ottoman troops, under the Sultan
Mahomet II, was stormed: and, after a
glorious defence, taken on May 26, 1853,
D. s. which correspondents the difference
in the 18th century between the styles
was nine days-to June Z, 1853 of the
Gregorian Calendar, or exactly 400 years
ago. The name of the last emperor, who
was killed in the assault, was, like that of
the first, Constantine. Since the conquest
the city has been the capital of the Otto
man empire, and is known by its posses
sors as Stanbol or Istanbol: but by Chris
tians, not subjects of the Porte its former
name is generally retained. The weak
ness and decline of the Ottoman power,
now so manifest, induced some of the
clergy to study and to attempt to expound
the prophecies Of the book of Daniel and
the Apocalypse with regard to the Otto
man empire, and the calculations are
somewhat in this strain:
The power of the Turk to continue as
tendency over the third part Of men for
an hour, day, month, and year, or
three hundred and ninety-one years and
thirty days, began May Goth, 1853, when
the Greek or Eastern empire was over
thrown. That period ended in June,
1874, or by correction of the true year
to make it coincide with the vulgar era,
in June, 1913, when the Russians invaded
the Danubian provinces and laid Con-
stantinople open to their attack. Again
they find period of one thousand two
hundred and ninety years during which
the dcsolation Of Israel was to increase
until that determined shall be poured on
the Dictator The beginning of that Pc
riod is supposed by them to coincide with
Nowsheerwan, of Persia, in A. D.. 53l.
and the end of it with the year 1921, and
the Greek revolt from the power Of the
Porte"
twill, however, be recollected that the
present is not the first occasion on which
The occupation of Constantinople by the
Russians has seemed eminent. In 1899
thev advanced to and occupied Adrianople,
within one hundred miles Of the capital,
and there, we believe, the treaty Of peace
was that year signed.

The Fox and the Horse.


There was once farmer who had
horse which served him faithfully till he
was too cid to work any longer, and his
master would not give him anything to
eat, but said:
Il cannot really find any use for you
now; but still mean you well, and so,
if you will show yourself strong enough
to bring home lion, / will requit you;
but now YOU must make yourself scarce
in this stable!''
So saying the farmer drove the poor
head toward the forest to shelter himself
there from the weather. In among the
! trees he met fox, who asked why he
looked SO careworn and walked so down.
cast ?''
"Alas z" said the horse, "avarice and
fidelity dwelt not in the same house to-
gether: my master has forgotten all the
services which have rendered him for so
many years, and. because 1 am unable
now to work any longer. he will not give
me any fodder, but has driven me out Of
the stable"
"Without any hope 90 inquired the
| fox.
1.-The hope is poor 2" replied the horse;
"he said if was strong enough to bring
him back lion he would receive me;
but he knows well enough cannot do
that"
"Then I will help you," replied the
fox "now lay down and stretch yourself
out, and do not stir, so that you may ap-
pear dead"
The horse, accordingly, did as he was
told, and the fox went to the lion, whose
den was very far off and said to him
Near here lies dead horse: come
with me and you may make capital
meal"
The lion accompanied the fox, and when
they came to the horse, the fox said:
"Hist listen to what I am about to
say; you can have this at your conven-
ience; will bind it to you by the tail,
and you shall then draw it away to your
den, and devour it at your leisure"
This advice pleased the lion, and in Or
der that the fox might knot the horses
tail fast to him, he stood with his back to.
wards it quite still The fox, however.
cunningly tied the lions legs together
with the hairs of the horses tail, and
knotted all so carefully that no strength
could have divided it. AS soon as his
work was finished, the fox tapped the
horse on the shoulder, and cried
Drag, my friend, drag"
The horse jumped up at once and drew
the lion away with him. The beast soon
began to roar, 50 that all the birds in the
forest flew away for terror, but the horse
let him roar, while he quietly dragged him
to his masters door. Now when the far.
mer saw this proof of the fidelity of his
horse, he thought better of his former re.
solution, and said to the faithful animal:
"lou shall remain with me now, and
live at your ease"
And so the good horse had good meals
and good treatment till he died.

To Professor HOLLOWAY,
Dear Sir am enabled to furnish YOU with
a most extraordinary cure effected by your
Invaluable Ointment and Pills, which has as
tonlshed every person acquainted with the
sufferer. About ten years ago, Mr.. ". Cum
minis, of Saltney Street, in this town, was
thrown from his horse, whereby he received
very serious injuries he had the best medical
advice at the time, and was afterwards in
mate of different infirmaries, yet he grew
worse, and at length malignant running ul-
Ger settled in his hip, which SO completely
crippled him, that he could not move without
crutches for nearly ten years; recently he
began to use your Ointment and Pills which
have now healed the wound, strengthened his
limb, and enabled him to dispense with his
crutches so that he can walk with the great
est ease, and with renewed health and vigor.
