An Amusing Description OF a
Southern Railroad station.


A pleasant railroad stationis Merid
ian, Miss. The Selma AIabama) Mes
sengcr says Of it: "a gentleman who
had some experience in stopping over
at Meridian during the war, and whose
business called him to Mississippi, was
expatiating to General Johnston, upon
the discomforts of an apprehended
stoppago there "Oh," replied the
General, Meridian has improved
The hotel has been burned down"
Upon this text writer in a Southern
journal humorously descants as fol-
lows:
Who that ever travelled during the
war through Meridian does not remem-
Der that hotel? The rush of travellers
from the cars to the door would be
met by the gentlemanly proprietor
with Walk in, gentlemen, walk in
Give me private room" would be
the demand of fifty spectators and
commissaries with stuffed carpet-bags,
who were distrustful of their neigh
bors Certainly would be the inva-
riable reply, and No. 40 would be
! chalked on the baggage. At night
such a scene, when all the prOprietOrs
! Of private apartments would meet to-
| gether in the garret, which was No. 10.
There was very good feed at that ho,
tel, at least the insects thought SO, for
| they assembled from every quarter to
| feed on the travellers. A distinguished
Confederate General said that his plan
for destroying Grants army was to
let them take VickShurg and Jackson,
and those Of them that survived The
trip on the railroad to Meridian (Which
was always killing some one) would
starve to death at that delectable place.
| Dodgers, tanbark coffee and fried mas
ses of trichinR, were diversified with
haw pie, squirrel tart and sour molas
ses, when such distinguished visitors
as DIR. V, of West Baton Rouge,
came along, and would not be satisfied
with less.
Chinaberry whisky, which, although
maniacal in it's tendency, destroyed
trichin@ in the system and made man
oblivious to the biting of bugs, could
be had for its weight in newish. And
| if you did not like the accommodations
afforded by No. 40, you could lie down
(nO one ever slept except the dead, in
that town, in the string of dilapidated
cars that formed the city.
| 1t is said that Meridian was humane
ly selected by the authorities as the
place to which car loads of hopeless
sick Confederates were sent to die, as
they could leave the world with less
regret from that spot than any other
in the Contederacy. Goodbye, Mcrid-
ian. May we live three score and ten
and never gaze upon your red hills,
black jacks and yellow ruts again.

MISCELLA A N z

BAp Four days after the Rebels fired
on Fort Sumpter, son of Mrs Dun.
can, of Mecca, Ohio, enlisted for the
war He joined Western regiment,
and after being in several battles was
reported killed at the battle of Stone
River. His body was brought home
and inferred. Afterwards intelligence
was brought to the parents by return
ed Union prisoners that their son was
not dead, but in Rebel prison in Geor-
gia. Other prisoners, returning from
there last spring, brought the sad news
of his death to the sOrely distressed
family. When the war closed an Op.
portunity was offered to penetrate the
Rebel lines Mr.. Duncan sent down
and had his son brought home again
and buried Having had him buried
twice, as was supposed, it was natural
that they should be reconciled to their
loss, but a few days ago their son Bob
in spite of wounds, and deaths, and fu
nerals, came marching home" and is
now enjoying the hospitality of the
parental roof.

The Rebels I'm High Places.

The commander of the pirate Ala
bama has constituted himself the cham
pon of the ante-war doctrine of State
rights, and rather indecently figures in
print as defiant enemy of the Ma
tional Government Elected to the
office Of Judge Probate in Mobile, he
has not been permitted by the Presi-
dent to enter upon the duties OF the
Court. It's business has therefore been
obstructed for some months; interests
which can i'll afford to suffer are pre-
iudiced thereby and hence complaints
are heard Of injuries resulting from
Semmes' tenacious clinging to an office
the duties of which he cannot dis
charge A modest suggestion that he
should resign has elected from the pi-
rate Admiral characteristic card"
in which he asserts his eligibility to
the office, and his determination not to
give it up, be the sutferings of widows
and orphans what they may. He
takes the constitutional rights and the
honor of the State Of Alabama into his
especial keeping; asserting that Sin
the attitude which his case has assum-
ed before the public, he regards him.
self as the humble representative Of
the honor and dignity of his State, and
that State shall not be outraged and
dishonored through him." All this
indicates strange obliviousness on
the part of Mr. Semmes. He forgets
that at this moment he is paroled
prisoner of the United States, liable at
any moment to be arraigned for pira-
cy, and mayhap for murder He tor
gets that, as an unpardoned rebel, he
has lost those rights OF the citizen un-
der which alone he would be entitled
to Office. He forgets that he is at large
solely by reason OF the forbearanco Of
the Federal authority, which he AFRO
gantly defcs, and that his eligibility
extends to fair trial and no further.
! Semmes is the representative ofa class
whose Vaccinations are source OF
infinite evil to the South, and whose
mptuous parade Of their persons
and their claims serves more than all
! else to foster an ill.will between the
sections. Instead of abusing the Ma
tionaI Government they should be
grateful for it's magnanimity and the
safety of their unworthy necks.-Ptts-
burg Dispatch.

Tragic Occurrence.-A tragic scene
occurred at Vienna recently, at the ca
nal of the Danube, near the Aspern
Bridge. A woman, nodestly dressed,
suddenly threw herself from the quay
into the water. A man, who at the
same moment was bathing his New
Foundland dog in the canal, threw a
stone in the direction where the wo-
man had just disappeared Meantime,
the latter, owing to the imitation Of her
garments, rose several tin. es to the sur
face of the water The dog caught
hold of her while she was thus float
ing, and tried to bring her to the shore;
but she was determined to destroy her
life, and she dragged the dog down
with her, Among the crowd, which
was horror stricken at the sight of this
terrible struggle between life and death,
was soldier of the police, who cour-
ageously plunged into the water to the
help of the unfortunate woman
Scarcely had he seized her than he was
likewise carried away by her to the
bottom of the water, and in few mo-
ments the woman, soldier and the dog
had disappeared in the canal, never to
rise again.

Mobile OufdOne.

The Madison (Wis.) Free Press says:
"They are having a sensation in Mo-
bile about mans committing suicide
by cutting off his'head, and then hid.
ing it SO effectually that they havn't
been able to find ii since. This is not
so wonderful circumstance as our 10.
cal relates, that happened at the Sault
st Maria last summer. An Indian
there who had lived unhappily with
fifty or sixty different squaws, deter
mined upon suicide. Desiring that no
one should be able to identify any por-
ton of him, be cut off both legs and
carried them about five miles into the
woods, on foot and alone He buried
them, and then cut off both arms,
which he carried some five miles fur
ther and buried. Then, cutting out
his tongue, that he might be unable to
tell any one whom he might meet who
he was, he proceeded several miles fur
ther, chanting his death song as he
went He finally cut off his head, and
after amusing himself for some time
kicking it about as foot ball. making
the woods ring with his shouts of mer,
riment, he hid it in the trunk of tree
and then digging grave with his own
hands, he got in, covered himself up
and planted a very handsome tomb,
stone at the head of his grave. Where
is the Mobile man now?

Nea0 Style of Building IN Pdris.-La
Patrle has the following: There is at
this time in course of construction. as
an experiment and possible model, in
the Quarter lie Roule, house having
nine stories above the ground floor,
and with basement and cellars alto
gether eleven stories. AS land in the
centre of Paris is of great value, and
consequently y rents very high, the OBJ
ject of the building is to obtain increas.
ed space by means of increased eleva-
ton. The house will have this pecu-
liarity that it will have no staircase,
but will be provided with an hydraulic
apparatus similar to that in use by
builders to raise materials to upper
scatfolds. This apparatus consists of
two large fat forms, ascending and de-
scending every minute without making
any noise. Upon these platforms will
be placed seats, SO that the dodgers in
the house will be able to reach the
highest stories without any fatigue.
From this arrangement it would fol-
low that the upper stories, being the
most airy, commanding the best views,
and being free from all risk of incon-
venience from dodgers above, will prob
ably obtain higher rent than the other
apartments. Thus an entire revolu-
ton in house arrangement will be eff
tected. The new buildings of the Bank
of France will, it is said, be provided
with ascending stairs such as we have
described

Eloquent Appeal.

faul Denton, a Methodist preacher
IN Texas, advertised q barbecue, with
better liquor than is usually furnished.
when the people were assembled, a
desperate in the crowd cried out, Mr..
Paul Denton, your reverence has lied.
You promised not cnly a good barbc-
cue, but better liquor Where's the
liquor|
There! answered the missionary,
in tones of thunder, and pointing his
motionless finger at the double spring,
gushing up in two strong columns,
with sound like a shout of Joy from
the bosom Of the earth
'Therep he repeated with look as
terrible as the lightning, while his en-
emy actually trembIed at his feet;
there is the liquor which God the
Eternal brews for all his children.
Not in the simmering still, over
smoky fires, choked with poisonous
gases, and surrounded with the stencil
of sickening odors and rank corrup,
tions, does our Father in Heaven pre-
pare the precious essence of life--pure
cold water; but in the green and grassy
dell, where the red deer wanders, and
the child loves to play-there God
brews it; and down, down, in the deep,
est valleys, where the fountains mur.

mountain tops; where naked granite
glitters like gold in the sun, where the
storm cloud broOds and the thunder

wide, wide sea. where the wind howls
music, and the big waves roar the cho-
rus, sweeping the march of God-the
he brews it-that beverage of life

beauty-gleaming in the dew drops,
shining in the gem, till the trees all

bright snow curtain softly about the

EDUCATIONAL
]. X. HAar1LER, BeIepiUe, MlSsin County, Editor
Christian Element Inn school.

In spite of all the philanthropic and
educational agencies of the day, there
is an alarming increase of crime. Ten
years ago, case of murder was chron.
lcled in flaming letters at the head of
the news column of our city weeklies;
now almost every arrival of Phila
delphia weekly contains an account of
a shocking murder-sometimes five or
six cases are noted in the same issue.
In this county, and in nei ghboring
counties, burglary and robbery are no
longer of very rare occurrence; and
intemperance is making fatal marks
everywhere.
This state Of things threatens law
and order; it is alarming. But we
have no chimerical plan to propose by
which this state of morals could be sud-
denly and permanently improved on
the contrary, we believe that the root
of these evils lies deep-lies at the very
bottom of the prevalent systems of
home and school training. For the
present, we pass by the home training
and merely note down a few random
thoughts on the necessity of a more
thorough and positive Christian ele-
ment in our public schools.
Solomon has it that " Righteousness
exalteth nation; but sin is reproach
to any people" 1t is one of the de
signs of our system Of public schools to
make, not mere readers and cipherers,
but to afford such training as shall
tend to produce good men and good
women.
1t is u commonplace remark, but
one that cannot be too deeply impress
ed, that fearful responsibility rests
upon the teachers III our public schools
About four thousand boys and girls
will daily come under the direct per-
sonal influence of the ninety-6ve teach
ers who have charge of the schools Of
Miflin county. MOmentous truth -
Four thousand immortal souls to be
moulded by us-whether we will it or
not-for good or for evil, for all time
to come! Upon those tender hearts
just blooming into life, we shall make
impressions that can never be effaced.
As we shape those minds so will they
in turn shape other minds, and thus
our lnHuence VIII DC transmitted 10
unborn generations!
Shall our Influence be heartily on the
side of God and the right, or will we,
by thoughtless, impatient, and frivo-
lous course, and by failure to &C
knowledge and exemplify the precepts
of religion, cast cold and witherihg
influence over our pupils? 1t is i'm
possible to be teacher without exert
ing strong and farrcaching influence
upon pupils. Then let us examine our
selves well to see "what manner of
spirit we are of.
We should be more heartily alive to
the responsibilities that devoIve upon
US. Let us go to our approaching la
bors with determination to infuse q
more vital Christian element into our
schools. In the school-work and on
the joyful play ground let us ever
strive to im bue every boy and every
girl placed under our care with 3
hearty loyalty to goodness and truth,
and ever, as fitting opportunities pre-
sent themselves, let us direct their eyes
upwards toward God and towards eter,
nifty. H.

pa At Appleford, Mass, lately, a
child was smothered to death in very
singular manner according to a Boston
paper. A pet cat jumped upon the
cradle and lay down quietly on the in
fant's face while the latter was sleep
ing. The mother, who was sitting
near, was pleased with the exhibition
of the cats affection, and went and
called a neighbor to come and see
them lying thus quietly together
When she returned she found that the
child had ceased to. breathe.
