RAILROAD CoNDUcToR's TROUBLES.
When the down South Carolina train
reached Branchville Saturday night, the
attentive conductor, after attending to
the many changes and transfers incident
at this point, and having few minutes
to spare, adjourned to the Branohville
Hotel, to refresh himself with CUP Of
coffee. Scarcely had he taken his seat,
when one of his train hands, almost out
OF breath. ran in, saying, "Captainl
Captain! there's baby in your Office. {"
Without waiting to sip the nectar, the
Captain made bee line for his car, and
to his amazement there found basket,
IN which was baby, not more than
three days old, but enveloped in gar
ments of most costly and superfine qaal-
ity. The little thing was alive and kick
ing, and apparently in good condition
for its tender age. The Captain was
nonplussed, and vowed he knew nothing
OF the advent OF the innocent little
stranger, and as he is known to be
gentleman Of undoubted veracity, none
questioned his assertion. In the kind
ness OF his benevolent heart, however,
he procured nurse to take charge of
the little waif, aud await further devel-
opments.

The Love of Nature.

An observer of human nature as de-
veloped In the average American woman
thinks that she is not lover of nature.
ms person says that last summer he
spent some months in a neighborhood
so famed for its landscape beauty that
1t was, at the time, visited 10y hundreds
OF strangers. Notwithstanding the fact
that there were the most inviting
groves, ravines, and mountains on all
sides, far and near, that the temperature
was generally agreeably cool, and the
walks IN several directions not at all diff
cult, it was rare to see women on foot a
mile away from the houses at which
they were staying; rare to meet them
out-of-doors at, all dressed otherwise than
as for church or shopping expedition
in Broadway. In their driving and
sailing, it was obviously the social op-
portunity, not the scenery, that was
sought. A flower in the grass, bunch
of ash-keys, birch trunk, the bark of
which suggested the making of house
ornament, the most commonplace OBJ
Jects thus associated with indoor life,
would at once take, AMI completely
Withhold, attention from the finest view
During the same summer, he says he
also saw seven carloads of people wait
at Suspension Bridge, the greater part
Of the time in their seats, for half an
hour of fine autumn afternoon, but
two of the whole number, and these
men, taking the trouble to step the
length of the train ahead, where, in
stead of the gloom of the station-house,
there was view that would repay q
voyage across the Atlantic. Not one in
a hundred of the women who can COM
mand carriage in the Central Park, he
says, has ever been in the Ramble; not
one in thousand has cared to walk in
it twice. This lack Of interest in nature
is not often found in Europe except
among the lowest peasantry. The vul-
garest Englishwomen make at least an
effort to appear superior to it, and they
cannot do this without benefiting their
children. At places Of resort in Great
Britain and Germany, which may be
compared with that we have referred to,
90 where you will within days walk,
you always find scores of women and
girls, many of them showing by their
attitude and occupation that they are
not only really enjoying but studying
nature with earnestness and delibera-
ton. Ifthere is such defect, and it is
growing upon us, how is it to be ac-
counted for? We are inclined to think
that the too exclusively indoor life,
with intervals of church, lecture-room
and street, to which the better part of
our women have been hitherto led,
tends to disqualify them for observing
truly, and consequently for enjoying,
the beauty of nature on large scale.
With constant training of his faculties,
no artist feels that he can appreciate or
fully enjoy landscape the first time or
the first hour that he looks upon It.

One Friend Less.
RY RACHEL POMEROY.

BY RACHEL PoMEROY.
/ wonder sometimes how the world goes round
For him who has no friend -
III such one there he above the ground
How must he hate
His empty handed fate,
And curse the meagre good the grudging mo-
ments lend
Who hath such right TO be morose and sad
To NOPE and pine and fret
Seeing sly Time fitch all he ever had
a Nor leave behind
The one according mind,
Could make him meaner beggaries forget?
Though maybe that lean life has never known
The undivided rest
Of him who cal Is another heart his own.
Who hand to hand
With a twin will can stand
Or lay his tired head upon tender breast;
Such lot were less forlorn-for who could miss
love he never knew.
Or faint to feel an unfamiliar kiss.
Or yearn To meet
His fellows Fastening feet,
Who guesses not that spell can very death
undo?
Yet even he shall feebly comprehend
If thwarted Natures plan,
When earth gave breath and yet withheld
So deep and wide
Those faithful hungers hide.
No misery could starve since human love
But sadder he-yea saddest scott of fate -
OF friendship dispossest,
Who finds his spirit widowed Of its mate,
Who sees the faith
He counted lord of death
Pass, dull dream. the dupe of an unholy jest
The winds may blow. but not for him they blow
The sunlight calls him not;
The stars shine false, and false the waters flow:
All Nature stands
With hooking. empty hands,
Befou ed are all sweet things, and specked
with evil rot!
How should he trust promise Of the spheres,
When vows more sacred fail?
How dare take up again his wounded years,
With purpose dead,
And inspiration feed,
Tomorrow, doubtful chaos, yesterday, wall

That seemed te bind US fast,
Try to believe il parted for loves sake.
Lay all the blame
On that immortal name,
And think twas love, not that proved unkind
So happy on some morning ere shall rise
In 9ons yet to be.
And looking each at each with clearer eyes,
The old bad Past
Shall read Alright at last,
And find il led us both to loves eternity!

Explosive Bullets.

1t is satisfactory to hear that in the
late war between France and Germany
neither belligere mt used explosive bull
lets. Each vehemently charged the
other with using these horrible missiles,
and each as holly denied the charge.
1t seems that series Of experiments
has been carried on at Basic with a view
to determine the fact, and that the re-
suit has been that Of common exonera-
ton. One of the experiments named
is certainly singular. The fragments of
a supposed explosive bullet have been
collected from wound, put together,
and found to correspond accurately
with the standard weight Of thamissile
thus, of course, showing that it must
have been of the ordinary kind, and
not hollow, as it must have been, to
hold any explosive substance within.
This mistake so freely made is account
ed for in various ways. One is that
bullet suddenly encountering button,
or any other hard substance, has its
momentum destroyed and changed
into heat. Sometimes, in fact, the tenn
perature produced is so high Us partly
to melt the bullet and it usually hap
pens tIllU, II VIC temperature uOuulICN
by the ball from the burning Of the
powder, and the friction of the barrel
is added to the caloric produced by
striking hard surface, the melting
point Of lead is exceeded. This, accord
ing to the report of the experts at
Basic, fully accounts for most Of the
supposed explosive bullets, and frees
the armies OF both nations from the
aspersion cast upon them. In other
cases, error originated in taking frag-
ments of shells of new pattern for bits
of explosive bullets, mistake that
might easily be made, especially after
the rumor about the obnoxious missiles
once became current among the sol.
diers. 1t is well that one cause, at least,
of heart burning and bitter memory be-
tween the two peoples, should thus be
swept away. France and Germany have
quite sufficient reasons for mutual dis
like, without including among the num-
bers belief that either in the recent
strife, employed weapons the use of
which would be disgraceful to any
civilized nation.

CINCINNATI, Ohio, Nov. 80, 1872.
For some time past there has been an irrepressi-
BILE conflict between Mr. Jesse r. Grant, Post
master Of the Covington (Ky.) Post Office. and Mr..
Shadford Easton, Special Agent in charge on
account of questions OF authority. growing ont
OF the peculiar relation they bear towards, each
other officially. Mr.. Grant is very old,
and is paralyzed in one side which, some say,
units him for business, and yet he will not relin-
quish the office, although the President has writ
ten requesting him to resign.
Affairs reached crisis to-day which. being the
the last Of the month, was pay day. Mr.. Grant
entered the office and ordered Mr.. Miller Chief
Clerk, to give him the key OF the money safe
that he might pay Off the employees. Mr..
Easton interfered to prevent him, as he
regarded himself as the responsible ofioer. Mr..
Grant persisted, when Easton seized the old gen.
tleman by the arms and thrust him out OF the ONCE
and into the street. BY that time Mr.. Grant had
recovered his strength and attempted to defend
himself with his stick; but Easton, many years
his junior, easily resisted and retired in good
order into the Post ONCE, the inner door OF
which he locked the inside and retained posses
sion until it was closed for the night.
The outrage was witnessed by crowd OF citi-
zens Of COvington assembled at the time for their
mail, and was severely commented on by all.
Easton peremptorily resigned his oflce tonight,
and despatched the Postmaster General at Wash
ington to that effect. His bondsmen approved his
action and released him of all obligations.
