HoBoKEN. = Yesterday as one of the
Hu lson City and Hoboken cars was on
its way to the latter place. while des-
cending the bill, the chain parted. and
the car rushed down at fearful rate of
speed. Finally, as the horses were not
able to keep ahead of the car, one OF
them was thrown down, the car passing
over it and mutilating it in such a man,
ner that it died almost instantly. Five
or six passengers who were in the car
jumped out fortunately escaped viii
only few slight scratches.

AN ALARMING THEORY .--From the
aanual recurrence Of rains, meteoric
showers, and explosion of steam boilers
IN various parts of the country, Pro
dessor LOOMS suggested very I'M
comfortable theory in regard to the
safety of the earth itself. He thinks
1t is not impossible that sufficient
steam might be generated in the burn
ing centre of the world to blow the
whole globe to pieces. A volcanic
eruption under the sea, or near it, like
that of Vesuvius now in progress, may
st any moment convert the earth into
q huge steam boiler, by letting the
water in upon the central fires, to be
followed, for aught we know, by an ex-
plosion that will rend it apart, aud
send the fragments careering through
space as small planets or meteors, each
Bearing off some distracted members OF
mem beers of the human family, to make
gDerchance, new discoveries aud new

planetary system now revolving with
Ups. So that final catastrophe may,
sitter all, be only a boiler explosion on

: HEADING OFF INcENDIARIEs. The
great ruler Of the japanese nation, the
Mnkrdo has hit upon an original and
very thorough plln of organizing a fire
department-not for the putting out OF
confiagratiuns but for preventing them.
In the japanese cities, which are built
of the lightest sort of wooden materials
disastrous fires are very frequent. The
Mikado observing this disegreeable fact
has devised method of preventing
any incendiary from repeating the
crime Of setting a house Oh fire, that is
If he happens to be i'll the house when
the fire breaks out. He has published
an edict directing that whenever fire
occurs, all the inmates of the burned
premises shall Immediately have their
heads cnt off This will render it GER
tain that If the guilty parties are in the
company that happens to be on the
premises, they will he punished, and
will kindle no more contlagrations TO
be snre, it may happen that the incen-
diary may be somewhere else when the
fire breaks out. as indeed, we should
suppose he would be very likely to be,
but then he may be caught, aud if he
is not, somebody else is, and that is
some comfort, japan may be a nice
place for residence, bnt we think if
we lived there, we should pray for con-
timed warm weather, and do all our
and smoking ont of doors.

The following photograph is por
ton of III article from the semi officia
Paris journal. descriptive Of that pecu
liar cid Mississippi gentleman, Jeffer
son Davis, who, it appears, has. recent
tly taken up his abode at the French
capital. The writer of the article yields
1 himself up to the most ecstatic emo
tions. This will be regarded as a very
important contribution to the literature
of the times, albeit the object Of such
unmeasured admiration has already
been rendered immortal by song that
is made up chiefly of John Browns
body and soul, with some slight refer
ence to one sour apple tree. Should
the prophecy contained in that lyric
ever be fulfilled which. we confess, is
not likely-Le Gaulois will shed oceans
/! of tears over the saint it canonizes. -
Saint Jefferson in Paris aud runaway
Jeff in petticoats are two entirely differ
ent individuals. The LIE Gaulois says ::
J fferson Davis is tall, slender. up
right; his chest is expansive. and his
bust supports splendid head attached
to broad shoulders by short neck -
The forehead is ample, its lines sharp
ly defined by masses of gray hair, and
slightly rounded; beneath it are eyes
of clear blue, very sweet III expression,
and observant. and rejecting deep in
ner thoughts and reveries. The figure
is spare, the cheek bones are projecting
and the cheeks sunken; the nose is
aquiline like an eagle beak; the mouth
is very large and expressive of benevo-
lence, sweetness. and resolution the
chin is long. The general impression
conveyed by such physiogDomy is
that of meditative and kindly man.
But if it does not promise i'll Jefferson
Davis's case, hope of happier days,
of the realization of his grand designs,
it reveals the firm belief OF this citizen
OF the world in the Judgment of the
men of his time, and of posterity
daily becoming less prejHdiced aud
more favorable to him.
Jefferson Davis speaks softly ard his
features relax when he smiles. He is
slow in expressing himself in our Ian
gllage. into which he is continually in

LUCY STONE. The correspondent of
the Chicago Tribune (Mr. George Al
fred Townsend, we believe, thus writes
of Lucy Stone, her happy marriage
and p, rsonal characteristics
In 1855 she was married to Henry B.
Blackwell, an Englishman by birth,
who was then hardware merchant in
Cincinnati, Ohio. and who had for
years been identified with the anti.
slavery cause. He was well educated,
honorable gentleman. and had long
been an ardent admirer of the brave
little woman, who had never suspected
an attachment of warmer sort When
he proposed to her he said he wished
her to become his wife on her own
terms She consented her terms be-
ing the retention, of her maiden name,
aad the remuneration, on his part, Oh
all his legal rights and authority as a
husband
Such union could not have been
formidable to her, what ever it might
have been to him. Their marriage
was nothing more than an agreement
to live together while they were agree
able to each other, and rs there was
few bonds there was little temptation
to break them. Perhaps such unions
might be repeated to advantage be-
tween persons uncertain Of harmoni
GUS future.
Lucy Stone and her husband-say
those who ought to know-have never
repen ed They have lived very happy
together for thirteen years, and are
likely to do so to the last. They have
hut one child, daughter, and have
since their marriage resided most of
the time at West Bloomfield, New Jer
sey in the strictest retirement.
Lucy Stone-the name Mrs. Black
we'll always otlends her-ls very far
from handsome She is small in stat
nre, has gray eyes, dark brown hair,
we'll shaped mouth and handsome
teeth, Her complexion is so ford as
TO indicate rusticity. and her features
are not at all regular, or expressive OF
highbreeding. Here is strong face,
and, when lighted up, looses much OF
its LONELINESS, and strikes yon as intel
lectual. Her charm is in her voice.
Turn away from her and you can vel
imagine she is lively. Look at hel
critically and you almost forget the
sweet tones that have so much to dc
with her power of persuasion. She il
extremely kind-hearted and benevolent
and never neglects any opportunity tt

ed, ridiculed and abused but no one
who knows her viii say she is not {
true woman, whose aims and purposes
have always been in the direction o.

MISCELLANY.
Your First Sweetheart.

You can never forget her. She was so young
and innocent and pretty. She had such way
of looking at you over her hymn book in nchurch.
She alone of all the world did not think you
boy of eighteen, but wondered at your size and
learning, and your faint forcshadowing Of a
sandy moustache, and believed you every inch
man. When at those stupid evening parties,
where boys and girls, who should have been
eating suppers of bread and milk, and gone to
sleep hours before, waltzed and flirted, and
made themselves sick over oysters and cham
pasnc, you were favored with glance of her
eye or a whisper from her lip, you ascended to
the seventh heaven Immediately. When once
upon a memorable eve she poked with the
druggists clerk, and never even looked at you,
how miserable you were. 1t is funny to think
of now but it was not then, for you were aw-
fully in earnest.
Once at picnic she wore white dress and
had roses twined in her black hair, and she
looked so much like bride you fairly trem-
bled sometimes you thought in just such
snowy costume, with just such blossoms in her
hair she might stand before the altar and you
most blessed Of all mortals, might place ring
upon her finger; and when you were left with
her for q moment, some of your thoughts
would form themselves into words, and though
she bushed and ran away, and would not let
you kiss her, she did not seem to be angry
And then when yOu were somehow parted for
little while, and when you met again she
was walking with gentleman, large, full
grown whiskered man Of twenty-eight or thirty
andhad neither word nor smile foryou, and some
well-mcaning gossip informed you shortly af-
ter that she was engaged to the tall gen.
tleman with black whiskcrs, and that it was
a splendid match" II was terrible news to
you, then, and sent you off to some great city
far from your native place, where, after good
deal of youthful grief, and many resolutions to
die and haunt her, you recovered your equa-
nimity and began to make money and to call
love stuff and nonsense.
You have rich wife of your own now, and
grown up children-ay, even two or three
todding grand-children-abou your hearth {:
your hair is gray and you lock your heart up
in fre-proof safe at your counting-house
when you go home at night. And you thought
you had forgotten that little episode of your
nineteenth year, until the other day you read
her death in the papers. You know she was a
stout lady who wore glasses, and has died older
than she was in that olden time, but your
heart went back aud you saw her smiling and
blushing, with her golden hair about her face,
and yourself boy again, dreaming Of wedding
robes and rings, and you laid your gray old
head upon your Office desk and .wept for the
memory of your first sweetheart.

He Didn't Know Her, and then he
Did,

A few days ago, says the New Orleans Pc
dyune, lady, evidently in deep grief, applied
to the chief of police to take some steps Tor
the reformation Of her son, a lad of fourteen.
She frankly confessed he was addicted to the
worst habits, and had got far beyond her con-
troll. She wished him sent to the House OF
Refuge, or in the event that could not be done,
to prison or anywhere, so that check could
be put upon his vicious career. He had pos
sessed himself, she said, at different times, Of
large sums of money belonging to herself and
boarders. and at the time OF his last invasion
had carried away with him nearly hundred
dollars. The chief gave orders for his arrest.
and on Tuesday morning he was brought to
his Office. The mother was sent for, aud, all
her love for him aroused, approached him as
only mother can. She wanted him to prom
ise Ter to reform, and she would forgive all
the past. Imagine her surprise when the
young outlaw turned upon her and declared he
never saw her before. She was mistaken in
the person, he said.
care you not my son 2"
&" Not that am aware Of"
"Jahfes. what does this mean ?"
Why, that never saw you beforc-never
heard of you don't know your name, or any
thing about you"
"You are not in earnestl !"
"Yes, am"
" And You deny your own mother T.
al don't know you-I am not your son.
Just then the Chief, who had been an amused
observer of the young villains eflrontery, in
terposed.
Madam you only wished to procure the
release of your son. As this is not the person,
and as know him to be thief, I'll have the
Recorder to send him to prison for six months"
The mother, perceiving the DRIFT of the af-
fair. was turning away, when the youth, not
appreciating the turn affairs were taking, look
ed up into his mothers face, and, as if sud
den recollection had come to him, said:
Now I come to look at you good, / believe
you are my mother. 1t is wonderful didn't
know you at first"
"Yes, it is very surprising interpo'cd the
Chief "but you were so certain then, we think
you are mistaken now; lock him up!" and
the disconsolate youth was marched or to a
cell.

"The Worst of It."

"Do you want to buy any berries to-day 2?
said a poor little boy to me one afternoon.
looked at the little fellow, and saw that be
was poorly dressed. In his hand he held a
large basket full Of ripe raspberries. l told
him l shouldlike some; and taking the basket
from him stepped into the house. He did not
follow me.
"Why don't You come in and see if meas
ure your berries rightly" said |. Glow do
YOU know but may cheat you, and take more
than agreed for" The boy looked up at me
and smiled. u am not afraid" said he, /" for
you would get the worst oft, ma'am."
'.Get the worst Of ?" said I, "What do you
mean?"
"Why, ma'am, should only lose my ber-
ries, but you would be stealing. Don't you
think that would be the worst for your"
Let us think Of this when we are tempted in
any way to cheat another. How often do we
hear persons pity any one who has had his
property stolen from him. Yet though man
lose all, and keep honest he is rich indeed,
compared with the man who has robbed him.

Wintcring Sheep.

Farmers owning sheep ought to see that
their quarters for winter are comfortable before
thc cold season is at hand. Plenty OF room
should be provided, for sheep will not do well
when crowded in too close quarters. Their
pens or sheds should be well ventilated. A
covering Of straw makes a first rate roofing
The floor should he well Uttered with straw
once in three or four days and as often cleaned.
The straw and excrcments should be added TO
the manure heap.
Sheep should be fed regularly. Hay should
be disposed in racks, easily reached while feed
ing, yet high enough to be clear Of any contact
with their feet on the ground. They should
be given oats, or whatever is given 10 beside
their hay, at regular hours. Much advantage
is gained by regularity in all matters pertain
ing to the farm or farmyard. If farmers un-
derstood this fact and put it in practice moro
than they do, they would be gamers by II.
They should not be fed too highly. More is
lost by high feeding than gained. An old un-
Gle of mine, having had long experience in
sheep raising and keeping, used to say that ono
spoonful Of oats per day was sufficient, and
that sheep would do well enough on that
allowance with plenty Of hay. Salt should be
given at least once a week
Care should be taken when building the pens
or sheds, to make an entrance large enough
Sheep ought not to be crowded in going in or
out Many fine animals have been injured in
that way, for sheep generally go in and out Of
their quarters, when feeding time comes, with
a rush, and huddle up close together If the
entrance is sufficiently large there need be no
danger from crowding.
All weakly, scrawny lambs or sheep ought
10 be separated from those in good condition,
and allowed an extra allowance 10 " catch up"
Poor scrawny sheep never stand much Of
chance in flock Of fat, thrifty ones. They
are always knocked around and seldom get
their share Of food.
am glad to see that farmers are waking up
to their interests, and getting sheep Of improved
breeds. The old fashioned long and coarse
woolen kinds ought to give place to such sorts
as the Southdown, Cotswold OF Nerino Not
only is the yield Of wool greater, but it is Of
very superior quality and brings a much higher
price -Norb,uesisrn Farmer.
