The time is rapidly approaching when
railroad trains will fly with lightning
speed from one end of our continent to
the other, without even stopping to stake
a drink" on the way. A novel method
of supplying locomotives with water,
which has been in use for some time IN
England, is about to be introduced into
our country. The Hudson River Rail-
road Company have already made sue
cessful experiments. At Montrose Sta.
ton, near Peekskill, there was construc.
ted in the center of the track trough,
1900 feet in length. fifteen inches in
depth, and eighteen inches wide. This
was lined with sheet-iron, heavily painted.
The trough is perfectly straight, will hold
10000 gallons of water, and is fed by a
couple of springs. A locomotive was al.
so fitted up with an ingenious!y construc-
ted pipe, connecting with the tender, and
having nozzle which can be instautane-
ously dropped into the water while the
train is running thirty miles an hour
When the first experiment was made the
water rushed with roar into the tender,
filling it to the complete satisfaction of all
concerned.

The following queer story is brought
to mind by the death Of Bishop Kemper.
1t was in his family that an incident hap
pened which has been. often told, n prose
and poetry. jacob Kemper, the bishops
grandfather, with his young family, had
settled, two years after coming to the
country, on farm at(Beekman, in
Duchess county, N. Y. While living
there the little Maria Sophia, about six
years of age, was in the habit of eating
her bowl of rice and milk, after dinner,
seated on the door sill, and used to tell
of Idle schone SchIange" (the beautiful
snake) that came and ate her rice. Her
mother watched to see what the child's
strange words could mean, and. to her
horror, saw large rattlesnake with its
head in the bowl eating with the child
who, when her visitor took more than
its share slapped it on the head with her
spoon. When the meal was finished the
snake went quietly away. The intimacy
was too dangerous to be allowed to con-
tinue, and Mr.. Kemper killed the snake.
The rattle, with eleven or twelve rings,
was long preserved in the family. ~

WHIFFLErREEs for blowing should al
ways be as short as they can be made,
without bringing the traces against the
legs of the team. A very long double
whif1etree tends to make pillow take too
wide furrow slice. If the clevis be adj
justed to take narrow furrow slice, when
the double tree is too long the pillow will
not run at all satisfactory. The horse in
the furrow will not be able to walk
squarely in his place, because the line of
draught is such as TO keep crowding bis
hind feet out of the furrow on the plow-
ed ground. The length of the double
whiffietree and the neck yoke for sleigh
should be just as long as the sleigh is
wide, from the center of one runner to
the other.

The HUNDRED Attempt upon tho Life Of
Prince Arthur.

New YORK, February 5.-A rumor
reached the police last night that an
attempt was to be made on the life OF
Prince Arthur. An officer was de-
tailed to watch the Princes party as
they proceeded from the BrevOOrt
House to the residence of Judge
StOughton. On the corner of Fifth
avenue and Seventeenth street, a party
of ruffians, stationed near the BrevoOrt
House, approached the officer, drew
revolvers, and told him 10 leave. The
officer got reintOrcements, returned
and attacked the ruffians, and, after a
severe fight, arrested WIN. Murphy,
Pat Mulhide, Charles Gardner, John
Laugh and Michael McNulty. Laugh
is an Englishman, Gardiner a native
Of Yonkens. AS the party refused
to make an explanation of their
conduct, they were arFaigned he
fore a Police Court thus morn
ing on the charge of assauting
officers. There was not sufficient
proof to establish the design upon the
Princes life. The parties were COM
mitted.
Prince Arthur left this afternoon for
Boston. He is to attend the funeral OF
Geo. Peabody on Tuesday.
There is no more truth in the report
OF the attempt to assassinate Prince
Arthur than in that rumOr being that
such thing was intended. Several
arrests were made. The friends OF
the Prince deny the correctness Of the
story, and the men under arrest pro-
fess to know nothing of it. 1t is the
general belief that ii is a hoax.
