and rheumatism of the heart, which in
an instant sometimes snaps the cord OF
life with no friendly warning. 1t is OF
the utmost practical importance, then,
in this wintry weather to know, not so
much how to cure cold, as how to a.
void it. Colds always come from one
cause, some part or the whole of the
body being colder than natural for a
time. If man will keep his feet al

A Phantom Railroad Train.

The Columbia CoaraEt is responsible
for the following: The "debbil am out
on big rampage" along the line Of the
Pennsylvania railroad, He is seen at
various places along the road, and in
different shapes. One night last week,
after the Philadelphia express left
Tyrone station, his Satanic Majesty got
on the engine with Sol. HOfmaster. He
looked around for a moment, then tax
ing the poker from the fireman, opened
the fire door and stirred the fire, at the
same time sticking his feet in. He then
sat down, stretching out his immense
legs and bringing his tail around laid it
between his cloven hoofs. Sometimes
wings could be seen about his shoulders.
He was very particular about the fire; ;
sometimes he would put his head in the
fire.boX and look around, then throw in
his tail, stirring the fire at rapid rate.
By this time he had got warmed up,
aud so had the engineer and fireman,
who were nearly scared to death. The
engine was making about thirty. five
miles an hour when the devil picked up
the oil can, went out and oiled the
locomotive in all its parts. He then re-
turned, and requested Mr.. Hofmaster
to slack up and let him off at bridge No.
but Mr.. ii. tCld him he might get off
the same way he got on. The engine
was then running at fearful rate Of
speed, and Mr.. Devil stepped on one
side and disappeared.
We learn since that a phantom train
was seen in the vicinity Of the Gap.
Some nights ago, David Wayne, engi,
noer Of AZ, had stopped for some pur-
pose, when a train was heard approach.

was no train due at that hour, schedules
We're examined carefully; but the stran-
ger could not be made cut. At length it
came laundering around the curve with
an immense headlight and other
equipments. The con ductor, IL. Bell,
engineer, fireman and brakeman all
heard the train coming. The fagman,
John X. Newell, Immediately went
back with Il light and placed signal caps
upon the rails. The phantom train came,
making the usual noise, and lighting
up the whole track with its huge lurid
glare, when in a twinkle the whole
thing disappeared, Some say it was old

leader of the Gap gang, who died sever

A GIANT TREE.-It seems that gi-
gantic trees are not peculiar to Califor-
mia. A correspondent from Brazil writ
ing to a con temporary, describes one
just felled in that country, a part OF
which is to be sent to museum in Eu-
rope, and which if we may credit the
account, deserves to rank among the
most gigantic of the giants:
"This tree was on the locality called
Calavoras; five woodcutters were q
days in cutting it down it was 3O2 feet
high, and its diameter 32; 1t was cutIat
about 20 feet from the ground, and as a
curiosity, the part of the trunk remain.
ing has been adapted for dancing sa.
loon, in which 32 persons can dance
with ease the double cotillion, leaving
room for the orchestra and the specta
tors. BY the number of rings peculiar
to that kind oftree it is calculated that
this one was $500 years old.n
