An Alpine Trick.

A traveller was once making pedes-
trian tour of the Alps, when suddenly,
i q narrow patch, he came face to face
with a large brown bear. He drew a
revolver, and was about to fire, when,
to his amazement, the bear cried out,
Don't fire." 1t turned out that the
pretended bear was man employed by
some guides, who sent him out dressed
in a bear skin when they had timid
traveller to escort. At a preconcerted
spot the bear would rush upon them
and when put to flight by the exertions
of the guides, the traveller never failed
to reward their courage and devotion by
a handsome present, of which the bear
received liberal share.

MEDICINE FOR THE HAIR.-When the
hair comes off by handfulls, and badness
seems inevitable, it is proof that disease
and debility have affected the roots, and
that medication is necessary. The only
restorative in such cases is PHALON'S
CHEMICAL HAIR INVIGORATOR, which,
during the last forty years, has done more
to prevent the loss of the hair, to renew it
when thinning out, to preserve its color,
health and general vigor, and to render it,
what Heaven intended it to be, the crown
ing glory of both sexes, than all other
preparations pretending to the same pro-
perties brought out during that long
interval. The public after being repeatedly
deluded by the will-o'-the-wisps of Hum
bug, have settled down in the belief that the
INVIGORATOR is the true medicine for the
Hair, and are discarding the pretentious
poisons.-TCom.

Terrible Railroad gDisaster-Two Killed
ss@ and Fifty-two Wounded.

A northern bound train on the Louis
vile and Cincinnati Short-line railroad.
fell through the bridge thu ee mile, north
of Elliston st ton, KY, on Thursday.
The bridge was of iron AMI wood, TWEEN
ty five feet high and seventy feet in
length. 1t rested on two stone abut-
ments, and was considered safe. The
train reached the bridge at LEO a. M.
running about twenty miles per hour.
"be locomotive passed over safely only
before the structure went down, and
with it two passenger coaches, tender,
baggage, express and mail car, and
piling all together in one mass of ruin
below. The front passenger car was re
duced to splinters, while the others
Jared but little better. The fragments
of the front car were soon in flames, hut by
the promptness of Dallas Pullam, the
engineer, they were subdued. About
sixty-Gve passengers were on board. Of
this number two were killed and fifty
two wounded, some severely. Surgeons
and supplies went from Covington at l
o'clock in the afternoon, and locomo-
| tive followed with other surgeons a short
time later. The wounded were cared
| for and placed in cars.
The passengers say the wounded were
heaped in horrid mass, and that the
scene following was exciting in the ex.
treme. Wounded passengers Joined
with citizens from the surrounding
country, and officers of the train, in the
work of extricating the bodies. The
killed were John G. Brock, of Sparta,
Owen county, KY, and Harrison Julian,
the colored porter of the train. Both
were badly mutilated. Trains took the
wounded, as soon as possible, to Coving-
ton, where they were well cared for.

A Drowning Woman Saved In Spite of
Herself,
From a Paris letter.

An exciting struggle between would
be suicide and her rescuer occurred the
other day at Pout de Loup. A Liam and
his wife having quarreled, the latter
rushed out of the house in state of
the widest excitement, and directed
her steps toward the river Sambre
She was observed by letter carrier
named Somveau, and he, suspecting her
intention, resolved to follow her. She
was some distance in advance of him,
and succeeded in throwing herself into
the river, appearing at the surface just
as hereachea the rivers brink. Hastily
throwing off his coat, he plunged boldly
in and swan toward the woman, who
saw him, and endeavored to elude him.
He, however, succeeded in reaching
her, and got hold of her by one of the
arms, she resisting most violently, and
at last managed to escape from him.
The position was growing exceedingly
dangerously, the current carrying them
rapidly toward high weir, the descent
of which would doubtless have been
death to both. The courageous fellow
made another effort, and was successful
in laying hold of her by the waist. An
other terrible struggle ensued, the
woman succeeding in getting her arms
round Somveau's neck, and striving to
pull him under the water with her.
The case being desperate, and Somveau
losing his strength by reason of the
cold, he adopted the only course he saw
open to him, by striking her on the
head as hard as he could with one arm.
This had the effect of Supplying her
for the moment, and to relax her hold
of his neck. Selling the opportunity,
he caught her by the hair of the head
and struck out for the shore vigorously,
which he happily reached with his
burthen. Both were so exhausted that
they fell down and tainted, and re-
manned in that condition for some time,
till they were discovered by some
passers-by, who rendered them the ne
cessary assistance.

The Blood of the Earth.

#, as some say, iron is the bone of the
earth, then water is the blood-the
ceaseless ebb and flow, the endless
evaporation and return, corresponding
to the throb AMI pulse of the human
heart and its life blood. The very air,
even when crisp and dry, has one fifth
per cent. of moisture in it, and without
water the whole earth, Himalayas and
and Andes included, would be but a
handful of dust, gigantic heap Of dry
powder, on which not even the most
rudimentary lichen would exist. The
arcients built affairs to Diana and wor-
81 iped the mother Moon. For Diana
d the Moon emblemized the water
principle, without which Nature would
have no plastic force. and the fair earth
no form, no life, no loneliness.
Without water not only the oceans
would dry up, but the rivers, streams
and brooks which course through all
the lands, would present the appearance
of dried up burrows the little brooks
would cease to purl and murmur. Trees,
plants, vegetables of every kind would
be utterly destroy ed losing the water
which they contain, they would lose
both their sap and their life-the noblest
trees of our forest would be transformed
into confused heap of shapeless dust
The air, deprived Of vapor and of the
clouds which float in it, would no longer
present the magnificent spectacles
which result from the play of light
the sun would no longer, as he sets
tinge the massive banks of clouds with
crimson and gold the entire surface o
the globe would present a terrible pic.

a Beautiful sentiment.

In Augustine Daily's great play,
''Under the Gaslight," Laura Court
land uttered these beautiful scnti-
ments:
Let the woman YOU look upon be
wise or vain, beautiful or holy, she
has but one thing she can give or
refuse, and that is her heart. Her
beauty, her wit, she may sell you,
but her love is the treasure without
money and without price. She can
only ask in return, that when you
look upon her your eyes shall speak
a mute devotion; when you address
her your voice shall be gentle and
kind. That you shall not despise
her because she cannot all at once
understand your vigorous thoughts
and ambitious plans, for when mis-
fortune and evil have defeated your
greatest purpose-her love remains
to console you. You look upon the
tree of strength and grandeur; do
not despise the flowers because their
fragrance is all they have to give.
Remember, love is the only thing
that a woman can give, but it is the
only thing which God permits her
to carry beyond the grave.
