JUST A TRIFLE Too CooL.-I have
read of people who were too calm and
complacent. OF such q character, |
think, was the conductor who, when
he ran over man, said he never liked
to do it because sit mussed up the
track so.
And speaking of saws, and following
up this train of thought, [ may men
ton young man from the country
who went into hardware store, and
rapping q great buzz saw with his
knuckles, remarked, -
81 had an old dad ripped to peices
with one of them fellers last week"
I think that young man exhibited
too little emotion for the occasion. 1t
showed lack of filial affection only COM
parable to that of a boy belonging to
primary school in Manchester, N, H.,
who assured his schoolmaster that he
would soon be able to indulge IN his
favorite sport on the river with the
best of them.
"Father," said he, is going to war,
and when he gets killed I'm going to
have his fish line. y
As cool person, under the circum-
stances, as I ever heard of, was ayoung
nobleman who in frightful railway
accident, missed his Wallet. One of
the guards came up to him and said,-
"My lord we have found your SER
want, but he is cut in two.
cav, is he ?" said the young man.
with Dundreary drawl, but still with
some anxiety depicted on his counten-
ance. ''Will you be good enough to
see in which half he has got the key OF
my carpet-bag %
To a sensitive mind his anxiety
seems to have been misplaced
The same unconsciousness to the
awful aspects of death was exhibited by
a man in New Jersey in 1859, who was
employed to convey hissfriends the
body of a Mr.. Wilson, who had died
about fifty miles from home. OF the
cholera On finding the house be
knocked at the door, and the wife OF
the deceased openet it.
docs Mr. Wilson live here ?"
Eyes" said the lady )" but he is
not at home to-day"
ono, I know he amt, said the
young man wife soothing voice,
thinking to break the news gently
"but he will be in a minute, cause
I've got him here dead in my wagon.
There was a still more reprehensible
moral obtuseness in the remark of a
man who inquired at a sheriff the night
before the appointed day.
81 say, Mr.. Sheriff, at what hour
does this little affair of mine come off p

WESTERN RAILROAD PRoeREss.

Railroad progress in the West started
up afrcsh At the close of the war, aud
il now advancing as before. A few
facts will show the dimensions to
which the new excitement has reached.
Minnesota has some five thousand men
at work at her various lines, and is
employing others rs rapidly as they
can be produced. A large stretch Of
the ST. Paul and Pacific road, that is
to run ninety miles west from the State
line, is under contract. The first, sec
ond, fourth, and fifth of the lower tiers
Of counties have roads now, and the
road from St. Paul to Omaha, via Sioux
City, is advancing and intersecting
them. The North Pacific road is also
under earnest discussion.
Illinois, netted MS she now is, is not
satisfied. She has seven roads 10 pro-
gress. One is from Rock Island, and
aaoIher from Paducah, both seeking ST
Louis. The former is under CONTRACT

and twenty miles Of rail were lately
landed near to the road. Then the
Pennsylvania Central are Flushing the
road; that was begun before the,
gained possession of the Alton and
Terre Haute, by which they now con
troll the trade from Terre Hau'e to ST,
Louis. 1t is said 10 be something
shorter than the existing road. The
Terre Hsute Company, having leased
their road, are now running one from
~. Louis to Paducah via BelIeville.
Meantime the Duguoin road is building
to reach Cairo in l46 miles, via the
Illinois Central; and also to push for
ward from Duauoin 10 Paducsh, ITO
miles, where it will join the Ohin
roads, and constitute a rival to the
Cairo route.
the last of these Illinois roads is
stimulated by the progress of the
Southern roads, and the hope of profit

miles long, via Canton, Jackson.

Congress has allowed and Illinois and

road will bring ST. Louis within 1O2
miles of New Orleans, and will thus
divert some of the Cairo business from
its Northern depot. But the trade of
Mobile comes in to make amends, and
will be within 63S miles of St. Louis |
by Duquoin and Cairo, instead of 664

Southern changes, are acyanceiOg or to |

in this resume Of current work to
show every one that the wonderful rail
way development of the West is contin-

more surprising that have been at aimed.
