AJuyenile Smoker.

1t is stated, on what is claimed to be
reliable authority, that there is a child
in Bristol, now four years Of age. that
is a habitual smoker, and, incredible
as it may seem, who has been addicted
to the habit for three years and nine
months. When the little, fellow was
only three months old he held out his
little hands and cried for his fathers
pipe. The stem OF the pipe was held
to its mouth, when it took few whiGs
Of the smoke and was made sick for
few minutes. The baby was, as we
learn, afflicted with asthma, which was
greatly relieved by the tobacco smoke,
and no bad effects from the chid's
smoking have ever been observed, ex
cept in the first trial. rs mentioned
above, and he has smoked almost dai-
Iy ever since. He usually uses pipe
filled with common smoking tobacco,
bnt will puff away at a cigar equal
to an older inyetelate smoker. Resi-
dents of Bristol, who have often seen
the youthful smoker blowing a quiet
cloud,' vouch for the truth of this
singular story. Our Westcrn,:contem
porrries frequently print astonishing
narratives of precocious children, but
we doubt their ability to trot out any
thing that will "lay over" this scion
of antiquated Bristol. Ifthey can we

familarly called Jeilisina "for short"

Strange Story.

The Athens (Tenn.) Post of the
18th ult., is responsible for the follow
ing: .
cit is told that an engineer on a
Tennessee night train has recently, on
several occasions, discovered a red
light swinging at furious rate near q
station where the train stops Cor water.
The light would sometimes be in front
and sometimes in the rear of the train.
When the engineer would stop his train
and send come one to learn why the
signal to take up was made, the mes
senger would be greatly surprised to
see the light vanish. Investigation has
proved that no person was there with a
lantern, and the brakesmen and con-
ductor concur also in having beheld
the phenomenon, which, so far as
known, is without visible cause. though
it is alleged that year or two ago a
signal man was killed near the point
named.
"On another occasion, some labor
ers on the same line were coming down
the road in hand car, about 3 o'clock
in the morning, when they suddenly
heard the approach of an engine and
train, and knowing that no train was
due in the vicinity az that hour, they
became greatly frightened, and, jump
ing ou. nf the car, threw IL off the
track to avoid a collision. They had
hardly accomplished this, when a train
swept by presenting a spectacle more
appalling than the apocalyptic picture
of death on the pale horse. The phan-
tom engineer stood with his fcshless
hand on the throttle valve, and his
socketless eyes pcering into the dark
ness ahead; the pale and ghostly fire.
man was in his place; skeleton brakes
men were on the platforms, while
through the lurid and cleaning win
dows of the cosches could be seen the
glastly features of passengers who had
long since made theil last trip in the
flesh and handed in their checks. AS
the spectre train sped on, suddenly
the whistle sounded "dovn brakes ~
a sound such as no mortal contrivance
ever made. This was Immediately fol
lowed by what seemed terrific crash :,
accompanied by mingled shrieks and
groans and all the terrible concomi
tants of filst-class railroad accident.
The poor. Mortified laborers imme-
diately fed the spot, and believing, as
they do, that the line is haunted, moth
ing could induce one OF them ever to
work on it again.
"It is strange story, and hard to
believe; but you know how it is your
self, Horatio there are more things in
heaven and earth than our philosophy
ever dreamed or"
