The Responsibility for tie Re-
cent Railroad Disaster.

The Responsibility for fffe fSes
cent Railroad Disaster.
The following, from the official re-
port Of the Superintendent of the New
York and Erie Railroad, shows where
the responsibility rests for the recent
terrible railroad accident on that road:
owe have passed through -three
months Of unusually severe winter
weather, and moved more than an
average winter tonnage, with the
road-bed frozen solid as a rock, the
rails incased in snow and ice, so that
1t has been impossible to do much in
the way Of repairs; the iron rails hare
broken, t0D1iRGted, and 9COr75 Olt belaoRd
GH precedent, until there Is scarce q
mile Of gOlr road, except that laid
with steel rails between Jersey City
and Salamanca or Buffalo, l0hers H is
SAFE TO ram a train at The ordinary pas
Sell20er train speed, and many portions
OF the fOad can only be traVersed
safely by. reducing the speed Of all
tralns 10 twelve or fifteen miles an
hour, solely on account of the aUOra
on and rotten condition of the rails.
Broken wheels, rails, engines and trains
Of the track, hare been daily, almost
Hourly, occurrences for the last tss5
months, caused mostly By defective rails.
Fully one thousand broken rails were
taken from the track in the month of
January, while the number removed
on account Of lamination, crushing OF
wearing OUT was much greater. Feb
FuaTy will show a still worse record
than January. The condition of the
iron at the present date is such as to
give me anxiety and apprehensions
for the safety OF trains. We cannot
and do not attempt to make the
schedule time With our trains; nearly
all lose from two to FIVE hours in pass
ing over the road, and it has been only
by the exercise Of extreme caution
that we have been able thus for to es-
cape serious accident"

Oh, blessed day, which rest to labor bringsI
A Sabbaths calm upon the hamlet lies,
As If an angel came on noiseIsss wings,
And Ger It breathed the quiet the skies.
No more is heard the clatter Of the mill;
The blacksmith's forge is hushsd the pillow is still
The horse in the green paddock seems to know
He, too, must rest; the brook that steals along
Doth surely lave its banks with gentIer low;
And birds greet heaven with softer, mollowe
songs;
The very flowers look mp and seem to say,
They'll breathe their sweetest on the Holy-day.
Breaking the stiffness, harE solemn sound;

Swings eerthe w0ods. Sen to the moOrland's bound
And dies in the echo by the far sea-cave:
Chime, chime. From yoR gray tower the slow
winds bear
The church's sIlvsry call to praise and prayer.
Now forth from cottage-doorE, in trim array,
The rustics cone old age with thoughtful mien,
And youth, with sObsred spirits, wend their way
70 the old church that stands beyond the green
And stilI the bell its music sprinkles rsund,
Something Of Heavens soft murmur IN that sound.
Ye rich and proud, who meet to worship God,
scoru not the POOL manSprgyeri for He who rears
High mountain tops, shapes daisies Of the sod
And simplest cry ef lOwIiest creature, hears
The thunders Of the orator arise,
Not speedier than poor whispers 90 the SHES.
Dear boon TO mani o priceless blessing given

How to Treat a Watch.


FIRST vino your watch as nearly as
possible at the satae time every dav
SecOndly-be careful that vour kew i,
in good condition, as there is much
danger of injuring the machinery
WHEN the key Is worn or cracked
There are more mainsprings and
chains broken through a Jerk in wind
ing than from any other cause, which
injury sooner or later will be the re-
suit if the key is in bad order. Third
ly-as all metals contract bv cold and
expand by heat, it must be manifest
that to keep the watch as nearly as
possible at one temperature is a nee
essary piece Of attention. FourthIy-
keep the watch as constantly as posi-
bic in one position, that is, fit hangs
by day let if hang by night, against
something that is soft. FifthIy-the
hands Of pocket chronOmeter. or
duplex watch, should never be set
backwards; in other watches this is A
matter Of no consequence. Sixthly-
the glass should never be opened in
watches that set and regulate at the
back. Seventhly-On regulating a
watch, should it be going too fast,
move the regulator a trife towards
the "slow, and if going slOtF, do the
reverse; you cannot move the reguIa-
tor too gently at time, and the only
inconvenience that can arise is, that
you may have to perform the duty
more than once [Craften's Horol-
Ogy.

VERY GOOD.-A learned professor
in a New England college was aceus-
toned to demand Of students an ex-
.cuse Whenever they were dilatory at
resitation. The excise given, he in
variably added: "Very well; but don't
let it happen again" One morning a
married student happening to be be-
hind time was promptly interrogated
as to the cause. Slightly embarrassed,
he replied:
"Thg truth is, sir, had an addition
to my family this morning, and it was
not eonvnient to be here sooner"
''Yery well, ," replied the professor,
in his quick, nervous manner, 'very
well; but don't let It happen again !''

I don't like girls. Girls is different
from what boys is. Girls don't play
marbles, and also girls don't play
hockey. played hockey once and
got wi lpped for it. Girls sometimes
get whipped, but nOtsO much as boys;
their clothes amt so well suited for it,
that is the reason, 1 suppose. I never
see no girls play base ball, but they
say they do in Boston. There is pIen-
ty Of girls in Boston and big organs.
Last year when / was young the teach

l was naughty. cried. Big boys like
girls better than little ones. went on
a sleigh ride one night with my sister
Nancy and Tom Sykes. We were GO
ing to New Hartford, and when we
got up by BOgg's tavern, Tom asked
me to look in the bottom of the sleigh
for his whip; while I was looking he
fired off torpedo. I asked him if he
had any more tOrpedoes and he said
no, but he fired off another when 1
wasn't looking. Girls dOn'tlike to have
men kiss them. They always say
''don't." If they wasn't fools they
would turn their heads the other way,
but they never do that. I saw Tom
kiss Nancy once and I went and told
my mother. Then my mother put me
to bed. When a girl takes out her hand
kerchief in the street to wipe her nose,
the young men that earn their living
by standing in front of the Pine block,
always wipe their noses at the same
time, if they see her. Girls gets mar
ried sometimes, but not always. Those
that don't get married don't want to.
When they get married they have
wedding cake. like wedding cake;
but I don't see any fun in getting
especially to a girl.

THE AMENDED TAX LAw.-Dr.
James Scott, Republican, author OF
the bill which recently passed the Ohio
Legislature amending the tax law, thus
explains it.
The average is to be made up on the
time the funds were held previous to
the time Of investment lin bonds), not
after. Thus, if A held 81, 900 in pro-
perty the first six months of the year
preceding the second Monday in
April, and then invested It iii bonds
not taxable, which bonds he still holds
on the second Monday in April, he
will be required to give in $500 for this
81, 900 which he held six months in
taxable funds. In addition to this.
he will still be required to give in ali
his moneys and credits on hand on
the day preceding the second Monday
of April which are taxable. So in AS
case, the amendment will increase his
taxable property just $780,"

Stephen Girard, when surrounded
by immense wealth, and supposed to
be taking extreme delight in his ac-
CUmulatiOns, wrote thus to friend:
GAS to myself, 1 live like a galley
slave, constantly occupied, and often
passing the night without sleeping.
I am wrapped in labyrinth of affairs
and worn out with care. I do not
value fortune. The love of labor is
my highest emotion. When I rise
in the morning, my only effort is to
labor SO hard during the day, that
when night comes may be able to
sleep sOundly."

Detectives afe taking evidence
against Wheelan, charged with the
murder of MCGEE. They have found
that a house nearly opposite Mrs.
TrUtter's, where MCGEE boarded, has
for some time been vacant, and the
doors have been left utasteued. On
the back dOOrsteps of this hUttse two
tracks are visible. They are those of q
man who passed inward and outward
once. Wheelan's boots fit the tracks
in the snow exactly. This discovery
accounts for the sudden disappearance
of the murderer, who evidently passed
through the vacant house to Yelling
ton street, a short distance from the
Russell House, where .Wheelan was
seen shortly after the murder. When
asked for his boots, he said, "These are
not the boots l wore on the night Of
the murder"
