AN Iowa WOMAN VERSUS A NEW
RAILRoAD.-The following funny &C
count Of an irats female railway hater
appeared lately in the New York Tri-
buns: 1t was necessary that the road
should pass through part of hs- prop
erty, o proceeding to which she objected
so violently that the authorities could
only assess the regular damages and us
sumo the right of way, willy nilly. The
thunderous tornado Of her wrath was
reused, but not until the trains began to
run did she commence active war. Then,
when locomotive came up one day, it
found . rail fence built across the road
and the venerable dame seated on top, in
the centre Of the track, with determine.
tion and defiance blazing IN her eyes
Would she get OFF, No, she wouldn't
The engineer and the conductor exhaus-
ted themselves in threats and commands
but all iu vain-like Napoleon at st. Hell
ena, she sat firmly and surveyed the scene
with vociferous disspprobation. Tho
train must 70 oa--thsrs was nothing 10
be done but 60 on Not until the engine
began to make the rails fly did the gentle
lady hasten from her perch, and as the
train disappeared she executed a wild
dance of rage on her desecratsd land
Some time after that her genius, and the
sweetness and light of her nature ih-
spired her to oil the track before the ad
vent Of long wood train. OF course
the car wheels spun about helpIessly and
the train was indefinitely delayed, while
Madam, with folded arms. stood on lofty
hill top near, and, like the eagles Of the
republic laughed out in scorn. Wha.
she will do next mono can guess, and the
railroad people, who have deadly fear
Of her. are recommended to say their
prayers regularly whom they approach
that part of the road.

WHERE THE COMPOUNDED MOTHER"
WAs-A gentleman who came up the
Hudson on tho st. John, yesterday, tells
this story:
II noticed" he said, "a serious looking
man, who looked - if he might have
been a clerk or book keeper. The man
seemed to be caring for q crying baby,
and was Doing everything he could to still
its ssbs. As the child became restless
ia the berth, the gentleman took it in bis
arms and carried it to and fro in tho cabin
The sobs of The child irritated rich
man, who was trying to read, until be
blurtsd out loud enough for the father to
hear
"What does he want to disturb the
whole cabin with that d. d baby for2
The man only nestled tho baby uers
quietly in bis arms without saying word.
Then the baby sobbsd again.
"Whsrs is the sonfounded mother that
she don's stop its noiss?" continued the
profans grumblsr.
At this the father came up to the man
and said: II am sorry We disturb you,
sir, but my dear baby's mother 10 in bsr

Miserles or Fashionable Women.

Grant opposed TO Cotton Speeulations

The Racine Journal, edited by
Col. Uully, in referring to the
Doolittle- Conatty matter, says:
The celebrated expedition of
Banks, which SO ANONYMOUSLY
failed, and which cost so many
precious lives, was simply cotton
stealing expedition-based upon
those sutIer dealing permits-and
one of the reasons why Conatty
did not get the two millions of
dollars, and Senator Doolittle the
two hundred and fifty thousand
dollars, was owing to tho fact that
Banks cotton stealing expedition
failed. But the true reason land
the one we wish our readers co re-
feet upon was because General
Grant put his foot upon the whole
thing. This is the Gods truth of
the whole matter. He saw at 4
glance the effect this cotton spec
ulating would have upon the pro-
longing of the war, and demoral-
izing the Union forces, and he not
only put his foot upon Banks, but
also the cotton speculation. Gen.
Grant was in a position where he
could have made nillions, but in
stead of doing it he gave himself
no rest until he had wiped the ac-
cursed cotton traffic out of exist
ence. This is the difference be-
tween General Grant and those
who have outraged honor and de-
ceney in trying to fasten upon
him some petty crime.

most to a certainty, that Forester
and Ellis were both engaged in the
burglary at Schenck's house. This
would naturally connect Forester
with the fatal instrument. 1t is
alleged that the police authorities
have positive information that a
few nights before the murder, For
roster with an assumed name, oc-
cupied a room at the Fifth Avenue
Hotel, and that he desired and was
given Il room on the Twenty-third
street side ofthe hotel, overlooking
the Nathan mansion. 1t is asser-
ted that Forester was seen on the
vestibule of the hotel on the night
before the murder. The evidence
i'll the hands of the police is doubt
less stronger than these points, on
which alone he could not be con-
victed. 1t is further claimed by
the police authorities that Forces
ter was not alone in this job, but
that he ian one or perhaps two ac-
completes. They believe, howev
er, that he put up the job and com
mitted the murder"

Narrow Escape from a Bear.

A Halifax telegram to the Mon
treaI Gazette tells the following,
under date of August %:
"On Friday morning a daughter
of Mr.. Angus Mcdonald, of Con-
corlale, near Souris, p. +. l., and
another young girl, nine years old,
returning liomeward from the
wood, came upon a large bear with
two cubs, eating a sheep. The
bear turned upon and knocked her
down, tearing her badly. The
child. who screamed and chung to
Miss Mcdonald, was also severely
scratched about the head. Her
fathers house was a quarter of a
mile distant, and Miss Mcdonald
called loudly for assistance. The
bear attacked and tore her again,
and then returned to the carcass
of the sheep, but whenever she
called aloud it ran at her and bit
her. At length her brother and
some young men heard her cries
and ran to her assistance. The
bear attacked them, but they be-
ing armed with sticks succeeded
in driving him away. When they
reached Miss Mcdonald they
found the poor girl shockingly in
jured. Her arms, breast, shout
ders and neck were torn anG
scratched, and her head almost
completely scalped. One Of hel
ears was drawn to her chin. Sht
fought the bear as long and brave
ly as she could. She was carried
home, and it is feared cannot re
cover"

Washington Irving Doing the Agreeable
TO Squaw-

The following is an extract from
some recollcctions of Washington
Irving in the Home Journal:
II was nearly killed by an In.
dian once" said Irving one eve
ming. when was n young man
was travelling in Canada with a
friend. There were more Indians
there than there are white men
now. One raw, chilly day we
were rowing in a canoe on the St.
Lawrence, with an Indian for q
guide. As we neared the spot
where Ogdensburg now stands, he
invited us to his wigwam to get
something to eat. Securing the
canoe to the shore, we followed
him short distance to his hut,
where we found his squaw busy
cooking venison. Our guide mo-
toned US to a seat by the fire, and
then proceeded to drink a large
quantity of whisky. My friend
watched him closely, but L talked
to his wife, who at first gave me
short answers, glancing at her
lord and master to sec if he was
listening, which he seemed not to
do; then she talked more freeley.
The squaw was very ugly, having
the overburdened look that you
see among Indian women; SO,
from half pity, as she took the
large hauach from the fire, l rose
to assist her. At the same mo-
ment her jealous husband raised a
large club, striking me on the head
i blow that made me fall insensi-
BILE at his feet As he was about
to repeat the blow my friend
me in his arms, and, rush
ing from the wigmam, deposited
me i'll the canoe, and was taking
me rapidly down the stream before
our half drunken pursuer reached
the shore. l soon recovered my
senses, but never was polite to a
aagain.''

A NOVEL MATCH.
An AxtraOrdinnry Feat by Canadian
Athlete.

On the evening of the 7th inst,
the residents of Lachine, Wisconsin,
enjoyed the sight of somewhat
novel match on land and water. A
discussion arose at the tes-table of
Hanna's Hotel, in regard to match
of the same kind that had lately ia
ken place in England. Some Eng
lishmen present spoke rather dis
paragingly of our Canadian muscle,
and expressed the opinion that few
! ii any Canadians could perform the
feat. Mr.. j. ID. Armstrong, our well
known amateur runner, who hap
pened to be present, quietly inform
ed the young gentlemen that Can
adian could do whatever an Eng
lishmsn could do, and that our am
aleurs particularly could match the
English. He then offered to try the
feat himself, though he certainly
was not in good trim, having just
partaken of q hearty meal. A match
was Immediately made as follows :
He was to hop quarter mile, run q
quarter mile, ride q quarter mile
and row O quarter mile, and all this
was to be done in Ssixteen consecu-
tive minutes" The ground was i'm
mediateIy measured, and a quarter
mile marked. By the time the ar
rangements were completed, all La
chine had turned out to witness the
exciting match. Armstrong had
the choice of running the races in
any order that he chose, and select
ed the hop first. The betting, be-
fore he started was against the run
ner, but it gradually veered around
and before he had even hoped his
quarter mile it was in his favor.
4 He accomplished his first quarter IN
/ 2 :36, and Immediately walked his
quarter, returning in 2 H. lie then
ran the quarter in / 80, and, imme'
diately mounting his horse, borrow
ed from q gentleman who had just
driven in from Montreal, showed
the bystanders that he was no less {
novice on horseback than on foot
He made the most of the animal
and landed him at the end of thu
quarter in 4S seconds. He had nov
to run to the beach, distance o
one hundred Yards. 10 get into hi
boat, which was a common tamil!
skiff, weighing about three hun
bred pounds. The water on tn
course was very shallow, and III
boat ran aground several times; blu
in spite of all these difficulties, h
got over this last quarter mile in !
and the whole feat in II :3S, haviD;
three minutes and thirty-two sec
onds to spare. Taking everything
into consideration, it was wonder
full feat, and one requiring grea
powers of endurance. The fea
was accomplished in England i
10 AZ, by q person who had been i
: q regular training for it, and VIII
, had every advantage in his favol
There is not the slightest doubt tbs
had Armstrong had the same ad
vantage he could have done it i

= not be surprised to see him do
within ten minutes. Mr.. Arm
