Rrakeman,s Dream.

From the st. Louis Republican,
ED" is a brakeman employed on the
Chicago, Alton and st. Louis railroad.
He was married only few weeks ago.
His wife has been wearing piece of red
flannel round her neck for the last ten
days, and complaining of wry neck.
This is how it came to pass.
Ed" had been doing extra duty,
taking a sick friends trains in addition
to his own, and so had not been in bed
for forty.eight hours. As matter Of
course be vas nearly worn out, and soon
as his supper had been eaten he went to
bed to sleep, perch9nce 10 dream. He
vas soon locked in the arms Of Morpheus
and Mary, aud dreaming. Again biz
foot was on his native platform, and he
heard the warning toot of the whistle for
brakes. The shadowy train bore him
swiftly on; the telegraph posts aeeted
past quicker and quicker; the wole coun-
Ey eed by like a panorama mounted on
sheet lightning golfers In his dream he
heard far OF another roar, aud swinging
out by the ratings be saw another train
coming at lightning speed around the
cprys. Soth trains we're crowded with

When it became necessary to reorgan-
ize the Ledger force and somewhat con-
dense it, the difficulties of the situation
began to manifest themselves. Ordina-
rily when proprietor or managing
editor desires to dispense with the SER
vices of an employe, it is a very simple
matter to drop him a note, politely
informing him that his services are no
longer required. The discharged EN-
ploye bites his lip, pockets the note,
draws his salary, causes a paragraph to
UC ihoClbCQ OuC VI bhC OJuCi CiNJ
papers stating that he has resigned, "
or severed his connection and then
he proceeds to get systematically and
thoroughly drunk. But in Kentucky it
is a more serious matter. Kentucky
talent takes it as mortal affront that
any proprietor should fail to appreciate
it, and it is disposed to hold somebody
to personal responsibility, or at least to
demand explanations. A half dozen
affairs of honor only failed on account
of the difficulty of fixing the responsible
ity. Matthews was the Jorkins of the
firm, and owing to his divided duties, on
each side of the river, it was hard to find
Matthews. One employe, whose services
we're dispensed with, spent fortnight
and half of his last weeks salary ntrav-
cling between Louisville and New
Albany, for the purpose of putting
head on Matthews, Fortunately, how
ever, they never met until the force Of
the indignity was spent. s,n ID,

LIyINGsTONE'S DIsCOvERER.
Stanley Gets Mad and Leaves the
Dinner.Table i'm a Rage.

The Brighton (England) News says:
A singular and untoward incident in
connection with Mr.. II. M. Stanley s
visit to Brighton occurred at the Royal
Pavilion on Saturday. On the evening
of that day banquet was given by the
Brighton and Sussex Medico. Chirurgical
Association in this town, Among the
guests was Mr.. Stanley, who was called
upon to respond to the toast of The
Visitors" Mr.. Stanley went on to point
out that there were few medical men
who had had such wide range of prac-
tical experience in the healing art as
DIR. Livingstone, or who had had to do
with such number of strange and in-
congruous patients-giving pills to the
natives one district. and potions, plas-
ters, and ointment to others. just at
this point, some person among the COM
pany gave utterance to what Mr.. Stanley
apparently regarded as derisiye laugh,
either at something he had said or his
manner of saying it. This appeared to
annoy Mr.. Stanley exceedingly; and at
once quitting the humorous and cheerful
style in which he had been speaking, he
adopted stern, emphatic and impas-
stoned tone; protesting that he had
not come there TO be laughed at, and
that he had had quite enough gratuitous
sneering of late without their adding to
it. Abiding to the insinuations which
had been made against him at the meet
ing of the Geographical Section on the
previous day, that he had INDUCED rather
too much in sensationalism, he as
sured them that it was not to get the
thanks of England or the English peo-
Pile that he had gone out to discover Liv-
iugstone but as q matter of professional
duty. They might call it what they
liked; but if the finding of Livingstone
in the heart of Africa after he had been
given up for lost had not something of
the sensational in it then he did not
know the meaning of the word. But
why was it that his statements were
questioned2 Was it because he was an
American, and for that reason that he
should be rewarded with gratuitous sneer-
ing? Did they think that America would
have inquired the nationality Of the man
who might have prevented the assassina-
ten of Lincoln before thanking him for
the act, or that Alexander would have
asked to what country the man belonged
who saved him from the assassin's S
thrust2 m Ef.l ut nf .
Why, then, should he be sneered at
because he had succeeded in discover
ing Livingstone? If that was to be the
way in which he was to be treated he
would at once withdraw from their
company. No sooner had Mr.. Stanley
said these words.than he left the room
and repaired to his apartments. His
departure was so sudden and unex-
pected that the meeting was quite taken
by surprise, and seemed uncertain what
to do. The Mayor was the FIRST to
speak, and he expressed his very deep
regret that anything should have occur
red to annoy Mr.. Stanley, and he must
certainly say it was a very unmannerly
thing for the gentleman, whoever he
was, to have laughed out in the manner
he did. Mr.. Stanley left Brighton early
yesterday afternoon.

At the city of Modena, in Italy, and
about four miles around it, wherever the
earth is dug, when the workmen arrive
at the distance of sixty-three feet, they
come to bed of chalk, which they bore
with an augur FIVE feet deep. They then
withdraw from the pit before the augur
is removed, and upon its extraction the
water bursts through the aperture with
great violence, and quickly fills this
newly made well, which continues full,
and is affected neither by rain nor
drouths. But what is most remarkable
in this operation, is the layers of earth
as we descend. At the depth of fourteen
feet are found the ruins of an ancient
city, paved streets, houses, floors, and
different pieces of mosaic work Under
this is found a soft, cosy earth, made up
of vegetables, and twenty-six feet deep;
large trees entire, such as walnut trees,
with the walnuts still sticking on the
stem, and the leaves and branches in q
perfect state Of preservation. At twenty.
eight feet deep, soft chalk is found,
mixed with a large quantity of shells,
and this bed is eleven feet thick. Under
this vegetables are again found.

London is spoken ofas the largest city
in the worldi as covering one hundred
and twenty-five square miles of ground;
as being ten miles in length and over
six in breadth, and as containing nearly
1000, 900 of inhabitants. Still we have no
adequate conception Of its vastness. We
mnst resort to comparison to compre-
hend it. The 100000 of inhabitants of
London, then, exceed the combined pop
nlation of New York, Philadelphia,
Brooklyn, ST. Louis, Chicago, Baltimore,
Cincinnati, Boston, New Orleans, San
Francisco and Buffalo. To feed this
multitude requires, among other items,
5,4O0, 900 barrels Of -four 3,40O, GOO ami
mals-hulloeks, sheep, calves and hogs
for the London markets, irrespective
of immense quantities Of game and fish.

De witt CIfntOn's Duel with John
SwartwOut.

II you wish TO know what manner o
young man De Witt Clinton was, yol
have only to read the official report o
the duel which he fought in 1902 will
John Swartwout, of Weehawken. Gin
ton was then opposing Aaron Burr. anC
Swartwout accused him of being actu
ated in his opposition only by persona
and selfish motives.
" He is liar, scoundrel and vii
lain" exclaimed the hot-headed Clinton
A challenge followed, and a duel wai
fought. suppose that it was the mos
remarkable affair of the kind that evel
occurred-out of Ireland. The first fire
doing no harm to either antagonist, one
of the seconds asked Swartwout:

ness than courtesy.
They fred a second time without
effect.
" Are you satisfied, sir2" asked the
second.

effect, when the same gentleman agar
politely asked Mr.. Swartwout if he wai
satisfied.
" / am not" was the reply; neither
shall / be until that apology is made
which ! demanded. Until then we mus
proceed"
Swartwout's second then presented g
paper containing the apology demanded
for Clinton's signature, saying, I'VE
cannot spend our time in conversation
This paper must be signed, or proceed.
| will not sign any paper on the sub
joct," said Clinton, with frmness and
dignity. " have no animosity against
Mr.. Swartwout. | will willingly shake
hands, and agree to meet on the score
of former friendship" ii'
The fourth fire then took place, when
Clinton's ball struck his obstinate an
tagonist in the left leg, below the knee
Are you satisfied. sir?" the wounded
man was again asked. ,....-
Standing firmly at his post, he an.
swered: at is useless to repeat the
question. Ny determination is fixed
and | beg we may proceed.
While the surgeon was extracting the

wout's leg Clinton again declared that
he had no animosity against Swartwout;
that he was sorry for what had passed
and was willing to go forward, shake
hands, and bury the circumstance in OBJ
livion. Swartwout, however, standing
erect at his place, insisted upon the
written apology. Affth time they fired,
and Clinton's ball struck his antagonist
in the same leg, little below the former
wound. ,t.
Are you satisfied, sir2" asked the
second. rrrt.
81 am not, sirl" replied Swartwout;
proceed" l."
Clinton then left his station, threw
down his pistol, and declared that he
would fight no more.
Whereupon Swartwout, turning to his
second, asked what he should do, to
which the second replied:
There is nothing further left for you
now but to have your wounds dressed. "
So the combat ended, and the two par
ties returned in their barges to the city.
Such was Clinton at thirty-thres, when
he had already been a member of the
and was about to enter the
Senate of the United States. He was
brave to rashness, and ambitious beyond
measure; but he lived up to the standard
Of his day, and acquitted himself of every
trust with honor and distinction.
