another in the back. Mrs. TollVer was
terribly burned. The assassins escaped
The community is greatly excited, and
$40, 900 have been raised to prosecute the
guilty parties when caught. Moody's con-

Scenes in Railway Cars.

g. HowelIs, in his genial half-story and
half-essay, "Their Wedding Journey"
inIthe September Atlantic, sketches as
follows the everyday scenes on the
cars, which everybody will recognize:
Yes, it is a very amusing world, il
you do not refuse to be amused; and
our friends were very willing to be en-
tertained. They delight in the very
precise, thick-fngered old ladies who
bought sweet apples of the boys
who came aboard with baskets, and
who were so long in finding the right
change that our travellers leaping in
through with the boys from the mov-
ing train, felt that they did so at the
peril of their lives. Then they were
interested in people who went out and
found their friends waiting for them,
or else did not find them and wandered
disconsolately up and down before the
country stations, carpet-bag in hand j
in women who came aboard, and
were awkwardly shaken hands with
or sheepishly kissed by those who
hastily got seats for them, and placed
their bags or their battles in their laps,
and turned for a nod at the door in
young ladies who We're seen to places
by young men (the latter seemed not
to care if the train did go off with
them), and then threw up their VIM
dows and talked with girl friends on
the platform without till the train be-
gan to move, and at last turned with
cleaning eyes and moist red lips, and
painted hard in the excitement of
thinking about it, and could not calm
themselves to the dull level of
the travel around them; in the con-
ductor, cOldiy and ilaccessibly vigilant
as he went his rounds, reaching blindly
for his tickets with one hand, while he
bent his head from time to time and
listened with a faint, sarcastic smile to
the questions of passengers who sup
posed they were going to get some in
formation out of him in the train
boy, who passed through on his many
errands with prize candies, gumdrops,
popcorn, papers and magazines, and
distributed books and the police jour-
nails with a blind impartiality or q
prodigious ignorance or a supernatural
perception of character in those who
received them.

SMITHS UNIVERSAL LOoN.-At the
exposition of the Industrial Associa-
tion of Lower Austria, for 1870, Mr..
Smiths so-called "Universal Loom"
excited great interest, on account of
its quick motion, easy application of
water or steam power, ETC., and q
member of the Association was in
duced to test its efficiency. He took
it to his factory, in Vienna, spared
neither time nor money in the trial,
and reported essentially the following
result: A great deal of labor and prac-
tical skill was required to bring the
loom into working order. This was
partially owing to defect in the
machine used Ito which, indeed, the
agent Of the inventor had alluded),
but, so complicated is its construction,
that it is asserted there is no prospect
that it will ever be used by the common
weaver at his home. The mechani-
cal skill of the experienced machinist,
which is only available in the factory,
will always be necessary to its proper
working. The operation of the trea-
die is of special Importance with this
loom, and its working requires great
judgement and tact, essentially faciii-
tated, however, by the convenient ap-
plication of friction rollers. One hum
dred shots per minute would be the
utmost possible, even for a skilled
workman. With greater speed the
labor is too fatiguing, breakage too
frequent, and the products not SO nice
and clean. This single experiment
was, however, thought insufficient to
positively decide the value of such
looms in factories. A report received
by the Association from a manufac-
turer in Ladz Russ, PoIand) agrees
essentially with the above. 1t men,
tions in addition the poor workman
that not a single part is
well made-and doubts also whether
the power of one man would ever be
sufficient to move the loom continu.
ously at the intended rate of 150 to $50
shots per minute.

How dreary every still and brilliant night;
What unrelenting tempests vexed my ways,
And hid with whirling sands each friend

He felt no more harm, he said, from
handling fire than stones.
I could cite q great number of in
stances besides those mentioned, and
give the names of q large number of
gentlemen of high standing who have
witnessed the wonderful doings of this
untutOred African; but do not deem
it necessary, as what I have stated can
be more than authenticated by almost
any prominent man living in this 10
cality. I am thoroughly convinced,
from personal observation, that
FIRE HAS NO EFFECT WHATEVER
UPON HIS FLESH,
And am sustained in that belief by
the united judgment of all gentlemen
who have seen him, including large
number Of physicians.
This man should be seen and exam.
ined by our scientific men, and the
causes and effects of his remarkable
performances duly investigated for it
Is certain that his power to handle fire
does exist in q remarkable degree, and
that, too, without the aid Of any thing
save what nature has bestowed.

But my boy did none of this. He
had, l suppose, crept under the table
unknown to me, and fallen asleep
there. tried to tell the little fellow to
to hide again, and wait for final bali
hour when my tormentor would be
gone. Whether he understood me. e.or
not, aided by what he had heard, l
did not know; but he quickly with
drew his little curly head, first kissing
his hand lightly at me, and then shak-
ing his fist at the achemer w9 '
so belligerently his dumb fire agents.
The half hour wore slowly away.
o heavens! what agony did suffer!
not for myself, but for my child. A
light noise might discover bis presence;
the match mis- gh run its tether sooner
than was expected. He might be
murdered or blown to atoms.
The fuse burned on-on. The half
hour is up!
The brother of the murderer rises
to go! Joy!
Commit your soul to Gods keep
ing" he said. "You hold the evil
dences of my brothers guilt-nothing
can save you now"
With that he turned to take his hat
from off the table covered with the
crimson cloth, beneath which had
my priceless boy. Something attract
ed his attention. He held out his
hands and leaned forward. Thought
he had discovered my boy! No! he
was lifting something in either hand
the wires of the electric battery. In
another instant my boy had leaped
from under the table, and was turn
ing the crank fast and furiously.
The murderer's brother was in the
power of my boy. He could not drop
the wires; he was helpless and mo-
tionless. How my boy cried for help.
The old: college rung again. The pris-
oner's brother added his voice to my
boys in his agony. He begged, he
beseeched-a his nerves were racked
great waves of galvanism leaped,
surged, and trembled, and Jared over
every sensitive nerve and fibre. Still
my boy was inf1exible, and shouted
and turned faster. Unperceived, up
on the marble, in the track OF the
burning fuse was a pool of inflamma-
BILE oil. In an instant great length
burned away. 1t would last just five
minutes and no more.
"Father!" shouted my boy, "if no
assistance comes, this william must
die with us; / dare not let him free.
Help! help! helpv"
Alas! could not answer him.
But some one else did! Thank God!
The fuse is burnt up! The rope is on
fire, the nitro-glycerine. The door
opens, Tom Richards on midnight
visit to the sick, has heard the cry.
He comprehends all, seiZes the can in
his hand-the weight descends, in
deed, but not on the death-dealing oil.
No, down it goes through the office
floor, down, down, like an evil spirit
to give back a dull metallic echo from
the stones of the cellar beneath.

WOman'S Dress.

Miss E. Stuart Phelps thinks rea-
son for the mental inferiority of wo-
men is to be found in the amount of
intellect that is wasted upon the pre-
paration and preservation of their
dr,ss. Taking this for the text, she
goes on in the following style:
l Ionce saw a young woman ride
the whole way from Portland to
Boston in the cars without leaning
back against the cushioned seat, so
that she should not tumble her black
silk sash. A barber told me that he
"curled a young lady" once for ball,
and she had two hundred and forty
seven curls when he was done. "And
l began at ten o'clock in the morning
and never got through until nine
o'clock at night!" Dr.. Dio Lewis
tells of woman who put four hun
dred and twenty-five yards of trim
mings upon one single dress. Four
hundred and twenty-five yards |!
Conceive of the Hon. Chas. Sumner,
or Professor Longfellow, in four
hundred and twenty-five yards of
trimming! Immagine the speech on
San Domingo or the Psalm of Life
written in black silk sash tied in q
snarl to the authors coat-tails, he
pausing at every classical metaphor,
or at the close of each moral stanZa,
to see if he has tumbled himself be-
hind. Fancy Brown-Scquard at q
consultation of two hundred and
forty-scven curls. Picture him tim
ing the pulse of dying man with
one hand and lightning his hair pins
with the other. After contrasting
very racily the apparel of woman
with that of man, she concludes by
saying the "use" of dress is his, the
''fuss" is hers. And even about the
beauty she hesitates, for though man
is not graceful being, yet in this
cultivated year of our Lord one
thousand eight hundred and seventy
one, his very stove-pipe hat and sack
coat Weld the field to the unparallel-
ed aud unapproached and unap-
proachable detormity of woman's at
tire.
