NOT a CHRIsTIAN.-An accident hap
pened on the Atlantic aud G Great Western
railroad, in Ohio, says the Meadville
Republican. The baggage master sat in
his car reading at the time, but perceiv-
ing by the motion of the car that an
accident had taken place, he attempted to
jump out, but was caught between two
cars and badly jammed. He was taken
out in an insensible condition, and being
laid upon the ground, an attempt was
made to revive him, which proved sue
cessful. AS he opened his eyes to a
consciousness of things, clergyman
stepped out from the circle who surroun-
ded him, to offer prayer for his complete
restoration. He .kueeled down by the
side of the victim, but before proceeding
with his work of mercy, he asked the
youth, care you a Christian 2" "No,
sir" as emphaticaily as his condition
would allow, said the sufferer, "I am a
baggage master on the Atlantic and Great
Western railroad p' Tho prayer was
omitted.

A WESTERN POLITICIAN.-A corre-
spondent tells the following capital anec-
dots of Arkansas political life: About
twenty years ago, Governor y and
Judge W were candidates for Con-
gress in this district. They were both
far-sighted, shrewd politicians-the
Judge the better lawyer and debater-the
Governor by far the more winning 10 his
One hot day in July, while they were
travelling together on the canvass, they
came upon a party of twenty men or NOR e
assembled on the roadside for the purpos e
OF having a shooting match. Thinking it
a good time and place for presenting their
respective claims, the Governor proposed
stopping. They halted, and the Cover n
or soon made himself at home. He
bought number of chances In the match,
and being a..good marksman, succeeded in
winning quite quaQtity Of beef, which
constituted the prize
The Judge had conscientious scruples
as to shooting matches, and did not pay
ticipate, but stood by, conversing with the
more sober Of the crowd, while his friend,
the Governor, was in high glee with his
companions over the beef When it was
given out to successful shooters, our Gov
ernor ordered his to be divided among
some widows who he ascertained lived In
the vicinity, and then asked the boys if
they were not dry? Of course they were,
and the Governor generously ordered a
plentiful supply of the "Oh be joyful. -
Here the Judge had scruples and did not
participate but had it been otherwise it
would have availed nothing. The Gov
ernor was decidedly the man at the shoot
ing match, while the Judge felt himself
entirely In the vocative. Leaving their
friends, they proceeded on their way some
twelve or fifteen miles, and halted at
camp-ground where the annual camp
meeting was being held. They separated
In tho crowd, each electioneering with all
his might, with old and young, friends
and trangers-making hay when the sun
shone-for there was fine opening.
Towards night the Judge began to look
around for his distinguished opponent, but
could not find him anywhere. He waited
patiently till evening services began, and
concluded he would go out where the peo-
pie had assembled for meeting, thinking
perhaps he might meet his friend. On
going out, what was his astonishment to
find the gallant Governor, the hero of the
shooting match, in front of the altar, sur
rounded by ministers and class-leaders,
with a hymn book in his hand, head
thrown back, singing rs loud as his lungs
would permit,
elbow firm a foundation ye saints of the Lord"
"From that moment" said the Judge,
al gave up all hopes. tell you-I tell
you, sir, man that's good for camp
meeting and shooting match, can't be
beat for Congress. 1t can't be done sir"
And so it proved.

Too SHARP.-An amusing incident is
told of a woman in England, whose hus-
band, wealthy man, died suddenly,
without leaving any will. The widow,
desirous of securing the whole of the
property, concealed her husbands death,
and persuaded a poor shoemaker to take
his place while VIII could be made
Accordingly he was closely mufled in bed,
as if very sick, and a lawyer was called in
to write the will. The shoemaker, in
feeble voice, bequeathed half of all the
property to the widow. "What shall be
done with the remainder ?" asked the
lawyer. "The remainder" replied he, ''I
give and bequeath to the poor little shoe
maker across the street, who has always
been a good neighbor and a deserving
man )" thus securing q rich bequest
for himself The widow was thunder
struck with the mans audacious cunning,
but did not dare expose the frand, and SO
two rogues shared the estate.
