AboIishing the Railroad Whistle.

On the road between Worcester and
Boston they have been trying the ex-
pertinent of doing without whistles on
most of the trains. On the 10Th of
August the experiment was begun, and
up to the present time not one accident
has occurred through the silence of the
whistle. And this was tried upon a
road where a constant stream of people
were crossing, either on foot or in car
riages. Within seventeen miles of Bos-
ton it is estimated that the number
crossing the track in carriages was be-
tween 1000 and 5000, while on foot
were as many more. The trains, in
Guiding freight, passing over the road
every twenty-four hours were over one
hundred. The plan for safely leaving
off the use of the whistle was to use the
bell through the day, and the head
light at night, and by its very absence
make flag and gate men and station
agents depend more upon the time for
being at their posts than the signal for
calling them to them. The increased
watchfulness thus required increases
the safety Of all those about the stations
or crossings. It is not known to what
extent this will be tried, but the result
of four weeks ought certainly TO be a
good argument in favor of decrease of
noise, and a corresponding increase of
vigilance on the part of the public.

st, Bartholomew.

A curious document relating to the
massacre of st. Bartholomew, is says La
France, about to be published. 1t is the
journal of German student, J. W. de
Botzheim, who happened to be at Or
leans at the time of the massacre, and
who in simple language and minute pre-
cision has recorded his recollections of
the frightful scenes which occurred on
that day. Botzheim was not only an
actual witness of the massacre, but he
narrowly escaped death himself on sew
eral occasions. This record of his ex-
periences, which was lately discovered
IN Germany, occupies not fewer than 81
pages. 1t is in Latin certain words
and certain characteristic phrases are,
however, found here and there recorded
In French. The manuscript discovered
Is unfortunately not the original, but a
copy very difficult to decipher, on ac-
count OF its numerous authorizations
The Latin is rather ungrammatical, and
the spelling very defective.

A Mighty Hunter Among the Cats.

A certain lady was recently very sick,
and, owing to the nature of the disease
(acute dyspepsia), she could eat no kind
of meat except wild meat. Her brother
engaged certain boy to keep her sup
piled with squirrels; but as advancing
civilization has almost driven that spe-
cies of rodentia from our midst, and
the boy not being an expert at the bust
ness, the supply became exhausted.
This necessitated an extra exertion on
the part of the family to procure fresh
supply Of wild meat, and while they
were devising ways and means for that
purpose, a domestic cat belonging to the
family brought in nice young rabbit,
and, with an air of great satisfaction,
laid it by the bed of the sick lady. This
was repeated by the cat several times
afterward during the lady's illness, but
never except when the supply of wild
meat on hand was exhausted. 1t never
did the like before, and ceased to do so
as soon as the lady recovered.
These facts are vouched for by all the
members of the family, which is as
reputable and respectable as any family
in the Commonwealth of Kentucky

The SKEPTIcAL CoNy1NcED.-Every ad-
vance in Medicine, every new remedy
has encountered an opposition, which
is the test of truth. Galen and Jenner
only were believed when they had
proved their discoveries against opposi-
ton. But men are observing, and ben
ehts always make believers. No incre-
dulity can stand the silent argument of
good results. When Dr.. Walker pro
claimed that he had produced from the
medicinal herbs Oh California an Elixir
that would regenerate the sinking sys-
tenn and cure diseases not organic, the
incredulous shook their heads. Yet his
VINEGAR BITTERs is now the Standard
Restorative of the Western World. The truth
could not be resisted. Under the operation
of the new remedy Dyspeptics regained their
health, appetite and strength; the Bilious and
Constipated were relieved of every distressing
symptom; the Consumptive and Rheumatic
rapidly recovered Intermittent and Remit
tent Fevers were broken up; the faint of
Scrofula was eradicated Who could gainsay
facts like these? Not even the Faculty Skep-
ticism WAS routed. All doubts as to the claims
of the Bitters to the first place in the first
rank of modern medicines were silenced and
this wonderful preparation is to-day the most
popular Tonic, Alternative and Blood Depurent
ever advertised in America. In common with
other journalists, we are free to add our tes-
timony to this remedy. 1t is domestic med
lcine, and no household should be without 1t.

Rapidity Of Thought in Dreaming.

A very remarkable circumstance and
an important thought in analogy is,
said DR.. Forbes Wiaslow, to be found
in the extreme rapidity with which the
mental operations are formed, or rather
with which the material changes, on
which the ideas depend, are excited in
the hemispherical ganglia. 1t would
appear as il whole series of acts, that
would really occupy long lapse of
time, pass ideally through the mind in
one instant. We have in dreams no
perception of the lapse of time-a
strange property of mind; for if such
be also its property when entered into
the eternal disembodied state, time will
appear to US eternity. The relations of
space, as well as of time, are also ami
hilated; so that while almost an eter-
nifty is compressed into moment, in
finite space is traversed more swiftly
than by real thought. There are nu-
meroHs illustrations of this principle on
record. A gentleman dreamed that he
he had enlisted as a soldier, joined his
regiment, deserted, was apprehended,
carried back, tried, condemned to be
shot, and at last led out for execution.
After the usual preparations, gun was
fired; he then awoke with the report,
and found that noise in the adjoining
room had, at the same moment, pro-
duced the dream and awakened Linn.
A friend Of DR.. Abercombie dreamed
that he had crossed the Atlantic and
spent a fortnight in America. In en-
barking, on his return, he fell into the
sea, and, awakening in the fright, he
found that he had not been asleep ten

Homes i'm The West.

At no former time in the history of
the country has there been so deep, SO
widespread, and so intelligent an inter
est felt in the matter OF migration and
Western settlement as now. The rapid
construction of railroads which pene-
trate the fertile but hitherto unoccupied
areas of our new Northwestern States
and Territories, thus rendering accessi-
BILE and valuable millions of acres of
land which would otherwise have lain
waste for scores of years, has given a
wonderful impetus to the Westward
tide of population.
A large portion of both foreign and
American migration will henceforth
naturally and inevitably flow into that
new Northwest, now for the first time
made accessible by the building of the
Northern Pacific railroad. The best of
country traversed by the route of this
thoroughfare Wisconsin, Minnesota,
Dakota, Montana, Idaho, Washington,
and Oregon) has such characteristics of
soil and climate as to render its speedy
settlement and prosperous cultivation
certain.
The Northern Pacific Company is
now selling its lands in Minnesota, and
the facilities and helps which it furnishes
to settlers and colonies greatly reduce
where they do not wholly remove the
hardships" of pioneer life. For ex-
ample, transportation at reduced rates
is furnished from nearly all parts of the
country to the line OF the N. P. road,
and if setter buys forty acres or more
of railroad land he and his whole family
are carried free over the n. P. road
when going to settle. Then at three
different points on the road large and
elegant reception houses have been
! built and fitted up with conveniences
for single persons, families and colonies.
Settlers, no matter whether they locate
on free Government homestaads or pur-
chase railroad lands, enter these recep-
ton houses on leaving the cars and use
them free of charge, as temporary
home while engaged in selecting land
and building dwellings of their own.
The company has fixed low prices on
its lands, gives seven years credit to
purchasers, and receives in payment at
ten per cent. premiura its own first
mortgage bonds, which are now selling
at par, and which are favorite invest
ment throughout the country.
There are now few localities in the
West where good Government lands for
free homestead entry can be found near
to railroads and markets. The Northern
Pacific road has been so recently built
through Minnesota that there are, close
to its line, plenty of public lands of the
finest quality awaiting homestead settle
ment; and they are being rapidly taken.
Large numbers of soldiers who, under
the new law of Congress, obtain free
homesteads of l60 acres, near railroads,
by one and two years residence, are
locating on the line of the Northern
Pacific. Soldiers and all others who
think of seeking homes in the West
can obtain full information, maps, copy
of homestead laws, ETC., by addressing

Of a Cup of Coffee.

1t has been truthtully said that even
in these enlightened days, and in the
lands most blessed by the influence of
civilization, there are thousands upon
thousands of persons born into the
world who live long lives and then go
down into their graves without ever
having tasted good cup of coffee.
There are many reasons for this, and
the principal one, of course, must be
that SO few persons know how to make
good coffee. And yet there have been
thousands of recipes and directions
published which teach US how to make
good coffee by boiling it; Ly not boiling
it /, by combining the essence and aroma !;
by making it in an open vessel; by
sleeping it, by not sleeping it by clear
ing it, by not clearing it; by grinding
it fine; by grinding it coarse, and by
many other methods opposed to each
other and to all these. Now we do not
intend to try to tell any body how to
make good coffee, but we just wish to
say a word about the treatment of the
coffee after it is made. And on this
it as you may. The rule is simple:
never decant 1t Whatever else you do
about it, bring it to the table in the YES
sci in which it was made. A handsome
urn or gorgeous coffee-pot is the
grave of good coffee. Of course, if it is
considered more desirable to have the
pot Look well than to have the coffee
taste well, we have nothing more to
say. But when hot coffee is emptied
from one vessel into another, the kltch-
en- ceiling generally receives that
essence-laden vapor which should have
found its way into the cups on the
breakfast table. And one word about
these cups. When the coffee enters
them it should find the milk or the
cream already there. By observing
these rules, ordinary coffee, made in al
most any way, is often very palatable
indeed.-Scribner's for October.

The MuSic.BOX Trade.

The extent to which this business is
carried on in Geneva is matter of sur
prise to Americans, and the magnifi-
cence of some of the instruments
turned out exceeds anything that most
persons have any idea of. We were
shown an instrument this morning that
played thirty-six tunes, with flutes, bell,
drum, and castanet accompaniment.
The cost of it complete was seven thou
sand francs, or about fourteen hundred
dollars, the purchaser to have the priv
lege of naming airs to be arranged on
twL of the cylinders that were blank.
The instruments ranged in price from
FIVE francs to seven thousand. The
high priced ones are in elegant rose
wood cases, but the most of them are
surprisingly low when we consider the
price at which the smaller boxes arc
sold in the United States. There is a
duty, however, of thirty per cent,
which accounts in some measure for the
cost. A box playing eight tunes, with
the accompaniment of bells, castanets,
and drum, can be had for two thousand
and fifty francs, and with the drum &C
compartment also for four hundred
francs. The price rises with the size
of the cylinder and the finish of the
cases. There are musical chairs, which
play when you sit down upon them !;
musical deeanters, which strike up a
merry air, such as $ The Flowing Bowl"
when you pour anything out of them;
musical snuff. boxes, musical flower
pots, and musical toys of all descrip-
tons. The twelve hundred dollar in
strument had volume of sound suffi-
Gent for church, and would occupy as
much space in parlor as an ordinary
piano, though it might be taken for an
old-style sideboard.- Genera Cor. BALI

How Mr.. Connors Won His Bet.

The Portchester branch of the New
Haven railroad is to pass the residence
of Mr.. Conklin Burtis, in Mott Haven.
At this point there is a bed of rock
through which the grade requires cut
of about twenty feet. The blasting was
begun last week under the direction of
one Connors. Several houses being
near, the work went on slowly, small
blasts only being made. On Saturday
layer of rock as large as a horse car
said to be superior to the black because
of the homeopathic quantities required,
went to the blaster and asked him to
buy. The vender said that hole drilled
six inches into the rock and filled with
his powder would displace it. Mr.. Bur-
It's saws that Connors told the vender
that he could blow it with his own pow
der. The vender said he could not,
and Connors wagered him lager beer
for the crowd that he could. He
caused holeten feet deep to be drilled.
Then he crammed, SO Mr.. Burtls said,
three kegs and three quarters of pow
der in to the drilling, and touched it off.
Mr. Connors won the bet. The rock
was blown out, good portion of it 60
ing over to Harlem, and shower of
smaller stones fairly making the river
foam. A piece of stone weighing 1900
pounds fell on the roof of Mr.. Burtis'
house and went crashing through into
the front parlor below. 1t smashed
furniture and demolished everything
in its way. Another stone weighing
about 200 pounds crashed through the
roof in another dwelling, and rested on
the third floor. About fifty smaller
stones went through the roof and stop
ped in the garrett. Probably 200 other
stones from the size of a mans fist to
that of water pail flew in all direc-
lions about Mr.. Burtis' yard. The roof
of the back stoop was demolished, the
stone going through the floor of the
stoop end landing in the basement.
The back stairs were broken down, the
well and hen house were riddled.
The old gentleman, his wife, and a
back basement when the blast occur
red. They were so badly frightened
that they jumped out of the window and
tainted. They have not yet recovered
from their fright. Neither was struck
by the flying missiles. But Mr.. Burtis
had narrow escape. Not half min
ute before the blast he had been stand
ing under an apple tree, but was called
to tea. Six stones as large as mans
head fell where Burtis had stood. Mr.
Burtis estimates his damages at 1000
and holds the New Haven Railroad
Company responsible. Hauen

Insect SOngsters,

The chirping and singing Of the
cricket and grasshopper are frequently
spoken of; but they do not sing-they
fiddle. By rubbing wings and legs to-
gether-each in a manner peculiar to
the species-these insects produce the
sounds which characterize them. Per-
haps our best instrumental performer
is the " katydid." Each wing contains
a little tamhourine, and by the opening
and shutting of the wings these are
rubbed against each other, and produce
the sound of "katy- did-she-did," which
can be heard long distance, and gives
the insect its name.

A Rich Monarch.

The Khedive Of Egypt is probably the
richest man in the world. His yearly
income is $5O,O0O,O00, and he has twen-
ty-fve richly furnished palaces within
the walls of Cairo. He is vastly more
progressive than the Sultan, his Turk
ish master; is rapidly extending his
dominions, building railroads, and
making commercial Improvements, and
will ultimately become Independent Of
Turkish domination. He is at present
making arrangements for the construc-
ton of a railroad up the Nile to DON
gola, and thence across the desert to
Soudan, which country he will make
one of his own provinces. 1t has been
remarked of him that "the Viceroy,
upon any throne in Europe, would be
the greatest monarch of the age" He
is not only a prince, but merchant, a
capitalist, statesman, and a cultivator.
He sleeps only four hours out of the
twenty four, and at his desk center his
railroads, steamship lines, postal ser
vice, private estates, sugar mills, cotton
culture, army, navy, and civil service.

Natural Decay-Proteet the system.

Natural Decay-Proteet the System.
The human body is machine and therefore can.
not endure forever; but, like watch sewing
machine, it will last much longer if properly regu-
lated and duly repaired than if pains were taken
to keep it in order The great object of every one
who desires long and healthy life should be to put
his body in condition to resist the life threatening
influences by which we all more or less surround
ed; and no invigorant and corrective at present
known so effectively answers this purpose as the
yitalizing elixir which. under the unpretending
name of Hestetter's Stomach Bitters, has been for
more than twenty years the standard tonic of Amer
lea. In crowded cities where the atmosphere is con-
taminated with the effiuvia inseparabe from large
populations; in marshy regions, where the soggy
soil reeks with miasma on the prairies and in the
forests where every fall the air is tainted with
halatons from rotting weeds and grasses or decon-
posing leaves-in short. in locality where ma
laria exists, this powerful vegetable antidote is
urgently needed. Fever and ague. bilious fevers,
dysentery congestion of the liver jaundice rheuma-
tism and all diseases which generated by infect
ed air. impure water. sudden changes of tempera-
ture may be averted by lgthenng and regulating
the system in advance with Hostetter's Bitters
Autumn is always season of peril, especially to
weak susceptible organizations. Even the more Wig
orous are apt to BIS in some measure depressed by
the humid atmosphere loaded with deleterious gases
produced by vegetable decay. The fall is period
the year when the renovation and regulation of the
living machine is peculiarly important. and the
Biters should therefore be taken daily at this critical

A Bloody Tragedy.

A New York letter of the Goth ult.
says:
A most bloody and barbarous tragedy
in New Jersey is slowly coming to light.
The laborers on the new railway tunnel
in Hunterton county, New Jersey, were
paid off last week and went on a spree.
During their orgies, last Saturday, an
Irish section boss was killed by blow
from pick in the hands of parties I'M
known. His Irish friends claimed that
the murder was committed by a gang
of negroes at work on the same tunnel.
EARLY Sunday morning the Irishmen
armed themselves with guns, clubs and
knives, and marched upon the negro
shanty settlement. The negroes fed in
all directions, when their assailants
burnt their huts and continued pursuit.
They found one middle-aged negro un-
der porch and literally hacked him to
pieces. Near at han1 they discovered
two other black laborers, whom they
dragged forth, finally beating out their
brains.
