DIABoLICAL ATTEMPT AT ROBBERY

Distractions on RaiIroad-7raiah hrown from
the 1rdck-.Sir Passengers Bruised-None
Fatally Injured.
BosToY, june 6-The mail train from n.
York encountered an obstruction last night
near w orcester. The rails had been forced
up and six large stones placed underneath
The consequence was frightfu collision,
and the whole train was thrown from the
track
The engine run off into ditch and the
baggage car rolled over and was broken in
pieces. Six persons in the car were badly
bruised, but none fatally The fore parts Of
the passenger cars were broken, and the
trucks OF two passenger cars were torn off,
but the passengers escaped serious injury and
arrived here this morning.
1t was supposed that this attempt to de-
stroy the passenger train was made by rob.
bers, who hoped to have an opportunity to
rob the express cars--a large amount of spe,
Gle being on its way to this city for the
banks.
An engine that was in waiting at Worces
ter was tampered with, in order TO prevent il
being sent to the aid of the disabled train
The specie was much scattered by the col

hither. Ii amounted to over half million.

the grown up youth will undertake the bold

happiness of woman the man of mature years
will devote the best energies Of his mind and

ton in liie's decline. Who, then, shall say
that the one half of the human race, and they
coniessedly the most virtuous and the most
amiable, may not be entrusted with an intel.
ligence, and influence equal to our own? re
them, when sorrow afiiicts us, we consign hall
our suhrings, and they cheerfully relieve us
by tightening them. When joy delights, We
give the half Of our pleasures. and they readi

their sympathy, the pangs Of all our priya.

WOMAN

The following analysis Of the various ma
tional characteristics of woman carries with il
more truth than poetry.
"The English woman is respectful and
proud, the French woman is gay and agreea-
bic, the Italian is passionate. the American
is sincere and allcctionate. With an English
woman, love is a principle with a French wo.
man it is a caprice, with an italian it is a
passion, with an American it is sentiment
A man is married to an English woman, is
united TO a French woman. co-habits with an
Italian, and is welded to an American An
English woman is anxious TO secure lord, a
French woman q companion, an Italian a low
cr an American husband. The English
man respects his lady, the Frenchman es-
teens his companion, the Italian adores his
mistress, the American loves his wife. The
Engishman, at night, returns to his house,
while the Frenchman goes to his establish
ment, the italian to his retreat, the Ameri-
can to his howe. When an Englishman is
sick his lady visits him, when a Frcnchman
is sick his companion pities him, when an
American is sick his wife nurses him. The
English woman instructs her offspring, q
French woman teaches her progeny, an It0l
ian rears her young, while an American edu.
Gates her child.

HAULING UP DOLLARS BY THE BUCK EFT
FULL.

The Spanish frigate San Pedro was blown
upon the coast of Venezuela, South America,
near the island of Margarta, in 1915. She
was supposed to have OH board from two to
three million dollars. The bark Emily Ban
ming which left this port in December last,
on pearl fishing voyage on the Pacific coast,
with two Of the Nautilas Sub Marine Compa-
ny's machines on board, had orders to stop
there and try to explore the wreck and fish
up the treasure. When the destruction Of
the vessel took place her stern being blown
out, scattered the treasure upon the surround
ing sand. Some three hundred thousand dol
lars has heretofore been taken up 10y other
parties, but owing to the inelIiciency of the
machinery employed, operations were suspen-
ded When the Emily Banning arrived. the
trial descent Of the first machine, sent down
in &C feet of water brought up one hundred
dollars-thrty-two dollars being found within
the first area covered by the machine before
moving. Other articles, as copper, &c, were
brought up at the same time. The Captain,
finding the advantage Of continuing the work,
Immediately left for the seat of the Nenezuc-
liam Government, to secure the necessary
privilege, which was granted. Letters have
been received from on board, during the alb
sence of the captain which represented the
operators as "shovellng dollars" 1t is the
intention of the company to blow up the
fragments of the ship to pieces, securing the
copper guns, &c. The captain writes, The
bells are all they are said to be-" One Of
the Engineers writes, IL wish you could look
into the bell when we are down in the bottom
with our spades, digging for the almighty dol
lar We can look out of the windows of the
bell and see the fish looking in at us. We
can take the bottom up in the bell, and get
out on the sand, and pick up the bell, and
run all around where we like" Two months,
it is anticipated, will be sufficient to take up
every vestigc Of the San Pedro; and the
captain reports he has another vessel near
him in the same depth of water. GG feet, with
fifty thousand dollars on beard in specie, and
another with fifteen thousand dollars, both of
which he will take up before proceeding on
his voyage.

A RICH JOKE.

y gentleman in this place, played Off q
rich Joke on his better half the other day.
Being something of an epicurc he took il in
to his head that he would like to have a first
rate dinner. So he addressed her a note. DO
litely informing her that "a gentleman of her
acquaintance--an old and true friend, would
dine with her that day" As soon as she re-
ceived it, all hands went to work to get eve
rythiug in order. Precise at l. o'clock she
was prepared to receive her guest. The
house was clean as q new pima sumptuous
dinner was on the table and she was arrayed
in her best .attire. A gentle knock was
heard, and she started with a palpitating
heart to the door, She thought it must be
an old fricnd-perhaps II brothcr-from the
place whence they once moved. On opening
the door, she saw her husband with smiling
countenancc.
"Why my dear" says she, in an anxious
tone, 'where is the gentleman You spoke of
in your note p
why" said her husband compacently,
'here he is"
You said gentleman of my acquaintance,
an old and true friend would dine with us to-
day
We'll" said he good humoredly, "am not
a gentleman Of your acquaintance, an old
aud true friend 2"
oh" said she dstrcssingly, lis there no
body but you %
"No.'
"Well declare this is too bad" said his
wife, in an angry tone.
The husband laughed immoderately-h
better half said she felt like giving him a
tongue lashing-but finally they sat down
cozily together, and for once he had gooa
dinner without having company.
