Young kitty's fair form and sweet face he admired,
And thought to himself, 81 can easily win her"
So he showed her his palace and made bluff bow ),
And said she might live there; but wickedly then
Kitty told him she'd long ago made a rash VOW
NOT to marry a bear for the sake of his DEM"

In claiming his right to fair kitty's affection;
He said she'd not want for a home while his gold

THE PHOTOGRAPHIC HORRORS OF WAR.

Wheeling paper says: Whether the
name Of the French General in command Of
the unfortunate Army Of the Loire is Chausy
or Chansy, Chausey or Chansey, Chauzy or
Chanzy, Chauzey or Chimney is Il question
like unto that which disturbed the country
many years ago on the appearance Of ''all
right De Sauty" Cor "De Santy,") which
used to come up to us at regular periods
from the profound and mysterious depths of
the first ocean cable, There are eight ways
to spell the name of the French commander,
and the newspapers are about equally divid-
ed between them. We pay our money and
we take our choice. and our readers can do
the same. For several weeks after the war
broke out we made most conscientious ei-
forts, with the aid of maps and cyclopcdias,
to get names and localities right, but as the
field of contest enlarged, they crowded on us
so thick and fast that we had to give it up.
1t would have required two or three men
forty-eight hours out of each day to look
them up. For reasons like these, this war is
getting to be unpopular with the newspa-
pers. The strain on the jaw bones is too
great and continuous. And yet it is mere
child's play to what Russian war would he.
With every despatch from St. Petersburg on
the Euxine we should then have half hun
dred such jaw-breakers as these: Cherkyer-
nozoff, Slingjertoxotf, Kickerbootzoff, Sneezc-
headoff, Mi Novgorotyerclozoff- not
one of them in the cyclopedias or on the
maps. This Franeo,German unpleasantness
is bad enough, but deliver us from any bel
ligerent turn of the Eastern Question.

A HEROIC ENGINEER.

The name of Enos b. Hopes, engineer on
the Pennsylvania Central Railroad, deserv-
rs mmolt llity as that of hero for the man.
ner in which he recently met his death, A
ear attached to n freight train, bound west,
had lost Il wheel, and was being carried
down Il grade by the momentum of the train,
pitching and jumping over cross ties, and
making the fire fly out of the stones and iron.
Mr.. Hopes was coming eastward on train
without freight, and as he neared the wreck
cd train he thought he saw something wrong.
1t was bark, and to see more plainly, he
stepped to the fircman's side, which is next
the other track. just then the wrecked car
struck his engine, breaking his leg in four
pieces, crushing his hip, tearing away half
of one of his feet, and knocking him, in COM
pany with the fireman and brakeman, back
into the tank. Every man upon Mr.. Hopes
engine was injured. The fireman and brake
man lay senseless on the floor of the tank.
The conductor of the train and the other
brakemen were on the rear car, and knew
nothing of the disaster The train was not
so much injured as to delay its progress, and
Mr.. Hopes knew that it it was not promptly
stopped it must run into the hind end of the
one next ahead, which would stop at a sta
ton less than three miles off for water. Mr..
Hopes, crushed and bleeding, dragged him
self slowly and painfully over the PROSTATE
bodies of his comrades to the throttle valve
of his engine, shut off the steam, whistled
down brakes, sounded the simmons for the
conductor, and fell back exhausted. When
the train stopped and the conductor came
forward, Mr.. Hopes was trying to stop the
flow OF blood from his wounds by tying up
his shattered leg, and said, ''it's all up with
me; do the best you can for me-" He linger-
ed until next day in great agony, which he
bore with his usual bravery, and then died,
lamented by all who knew him.
