a WONDERFUL ESCAPE. Que of the
most amazing instances of escape from
sudden and apparently inevitable death
occurred few nights ago on the Hud-
son River Railroad. A man named JAS.
Carter, Of HnGhsonville, was walking up
the road on the down track by niebt
about mile South of the New HAMBURG
station. On his back he carried trunk

and moving very fast To sec the red
glare and to hear the crashing advance
of the engine was the work Of one mo-
ment; i'll the next Carter had leaped for
safety upon the other track. But it was
stumbling from Scylla upon Charybdis.
The startled man could not hear, for the
roar of the freight train, new enemy
that was close upon him. AZ he jumped
upon the up track, the Pacific express
came hurting along upon it at his buck,
running forty miles an hour. The en-.
gineer saw Carter, shut off steam, and
whistled down brakes" But it was
too late. The speed of the locomotive
was hardly slackened when it struck the
poor fellow, and he and his trunk were
flung twenty feet into the dir.

TooMBs TO RESENT Browns Gam
The correspondent of the Savannah Ad-
ve,4iser, writing from Atlanta. under
date of July 2, says:
understand that a despatch was re.
ceived from Gen. Toombs yesterday, an.
nouncing that he was just recovering
from an attack of illness, and that he
would be in Atlanta in a few days to settle
accounts with Joe Brown. Meantime
Joe is said to have his shack up" in ter
rible earnest. An acquaintance of his
told me this evening that Joe means
tight, and that if Bob wants a ..skrim.
mage" hs will be promptly accommodat.
ed. 10 q duel Joe would have decided
advantages. He is as slender as a bean
stalk, while Toombs is inclined to the
proportions of Falstaf, though unlike
Ealstaff. there is plenty OF fight in him.
Considering the disparity in size be.
tween the two, would suggest that the
proposition once made by humorous
dnelist be adopted: Let the size of Joe
be chalked on Toombs, and agree that
all the bullets which strike outside the
mark shall count for nothing. Seriously.
however. there does appear to be some.
thing on the tapis in this matter.

AsAN FRANcrsco journal says: 1.-THE
Japanese ladies, having investigated the
female attendents at the Grand Hotel, and
compared them, in their working clothes,
with the ladies whom they see upon the
streets, have concluded that the richer
and poorer classes Of American women
are divided by physical development, and
that the wealthy classes are distinguished
from their less fortunate sisters by Q hump
upon the back, something after the fash-
Ion Of the dromedary. Their superstitions
led them to believe that magic arts are
used to produce the growth Of this dc.
formity upon the person Of those whose
wealth is acquired in their later years."

Keeping Roads Ii Repair.

The best system of mending the
highway is that which mends soonest.
The old method of working the roads
annually by the taxpayers in person
has gone out of use in many Places
The work was not well done, although
the taxpayers had to use the roads
they mended. The highways need
constant supervision BY one man in each
town who understands the business, and
who can remedy defect as soon as it
makes its appearance: "A deep rut is
made deeper by every loaded team that
pass over the road, and where the sys-
tenn of annual repairs prevails the
highways are almost impossible in the
early spring, We want the same
thorough system of supervision that
prevails on our railroads Transferred to
the highway. This has been adopted
in some towns in Massachusetts, and is
found to be much better economy, and
to give them much better roads. A
load of gravel in season applied to the
ruts and, gstllies saves the hecessity Of
two loads applied at the end of the
year. Travel on a well-made road does
far less injury than the rains and frosts.
If the inequalities are Immediately re-
medied, travel rather helps than binders
road making: Every one prefers the
well-beaten track to a hew-made road.
1t is quite possible to distribute the re-
pairs so evenly through the year that
the road-bed, may be always in good
condition. The loss to the farming
community n from bad roads is ennort9
1t is one of the heaviest taxes we have
to pay. 1t is laid On every article that
goes from the farm to market, and in
many cases the tax is so heavy that it
swallows, all the profits. Good roads
lessen the cost of production; they
would cheaper the grocer's bill, the
miller's bill, and especially the costs of
fertilizers, which are the secret of
economical farming in the Older States.
Work the roads to-day, and save money.
