Inventions to Prevent Accident.

Very opposite to the horrible ac-
cident on the Chicago, and st, Louis
railroad, on Saturday night, is an
invention the announcement of
which has just been received from
the Pacific coast, 1t appears from
the report of the disaster referred to
that the station agent at Iemont,
when he saw the coal train pass,
knew that there must be collision
IT it kept on, but was unable to
warn the conductor, and could,
therefore, only stand on the platform
waiting to hear the crash. Supp ose
now that he had had apparatus by
which he could have telegraphed to
the conductor of the coal train be
could then have warned the latter
in abundant time to run his train
back to LemonG and take a side
track. An invention for this pur-
pose is said to have been recently
perfected by young man living in
Oregon. By it messages may be
sent and received on board of train
of cars, whether standing still or
moving at any rate of speed. The
value of such a continuance in pre-
venting collisions and other accidents
is almost inestimable, and its inven-
ton, supposing it to be all that is
represented, marks an epoch in the
progress of safety in travelling. 1t
is worthy of incidental remark that
the inventor of this system seems
To be genius Of no mean rank. His
name is Frank G. Crouch. Though
he is only Is years of age, and
though he has spent his life in the
backwoods of Oregon; he has already
made three inventions that promise
to be of great value. One of these
is that already mentioned. Another
is seIf-regulating water feed, by
which the water in boiler will al
ways be kept at a certain height, re-
curing no attention from the engins
eer, and dispensing with water.gau-
ges. When it is considered how
large a proportion of boiler explo-
sions are caused by the water get
ting low, the value of the contriv-
ance will be recognized. The third
is an engine by which steam is con-
verted into very expansive gas, so
that an engine of 40 horse power will
not occupy space of six feet square.

A BUG IN HIS EAR.-Quite q dea
of excitement was occasioned on
Sunday night, at the Travellers
Home hotel in Fort Howard; by q
festive beetle which had insinuated
itself into the ear of the proprietor,
VIM. Moran, while asleep. A pecu~
liarly sensation in that organ awoke
Mr.. Morgan, who Immediately awoke
his wife bidding her to dispach some
one for doctor, as he had "bug
in his ear, forninst the brain. Witho
out waiting for the formslity of q
pair OF pants, one of the inmates of
the house fastened to DR.. Elderkin
and another to DR.. Marchand. These
physicians soon arrived and made
themselves acquainted with the ma
ture of the case, which was every
moment growing more serious, as tho
cries of the sufferer were growing
louder. Measures were at once TAX.
en- to drown out the invader, and
a pitcher full of water was poured
into the opposite ear, before the
bug began to retreat. He finally
backed out and was secured. 1t
proved to be the largest kind of q
black beetle, and the relief of Mr..
Moran, after its extraction, was
great, though the thought that he
had been through the Mexican war
unscathed and at last might have to
abe kilt by a dem son of gun of
bug" nearly drove him crazy

That Riot at PIainview.

The Rochester Post contains the
following account OF the bloody fight
that took place near Plainview on
Sunday the 10th inst:
A couple OF young men. brothers,
named Daniel and Martin Needham,
from Grant county, Wis. relate to
us that about o'clock they went
TO one of the saloons, bought some
tobacco and drank two or three
glasses of beer each. While Of the
saloon, the brothers heard some talk
about fighting, when a bully caught
Martin by the throat, upon which he,
Martin, struck and knocked the bull
ly down. Daniel interfered to help
his brother, when another bully
came at him with a large club.
Daniel ran off as fast as he could, his
brother, together with the crowd
of now maddsned and infuriated
rOwdies following, when a general
fight commenced. To facilitate
business and produce telling results,
a string of rail fence was confiscated
and converted into clubs, and sever
al ugly looking knives were opened
and flashing in the sunlight. The
main fury now seemed to eoncen-
trate on the Needhsm boys, though
it appears that there were quite a
number besides who got more or less
hammered. Besides numerous
scratches and bruises about the face
and arms, Martin received a stab in
the shoulder, the knife penetrating
the lungs be was also stabbed in
the thigh. Daniel was badly mauled
over the head and face, besides get
ting an ugly wound in the arm from
knife. The fight lasted from
twenty to thirty minutes, and was
so fearful that citizens in the vicinity
had not the courage to attempt any
interference.
The Needham boys were taken to
Rochester, and it is thought. will get
well. Only one of the DULLES en-
gagged in the affray has been arrest

This poultic is changed several times

A. It. Stewards Wealth.

Harper's Weekly says: 1t is re
ported that before sailing for Europe
a few days since Mr.. A. Il. Stewart
made a new will, in which it was
thought proper to make a schedule
and valuation of his real and per-
sonal estate and that to the surprise
OF himself and those engaged in the
details it was found chat he was
worth about S100,000,000. That
Mr.. Stewart will prove himself a
good stewart of this vast fortune
can scarcely be doubted. Already
he has commenced administering on
his own estate by the erection of
the stately "Working wonen's
Home" in Fourth avenue, and it is
scarcely probable that he will con-
tent himself with that work of be-.
nevolence. We were told few
days ago by an experienced railway
perintendent that the road-bed,
ties, steel rails, ETC., of Mr.. Stewards
railway to Hampstead were by far
the best of any railway in America.

A Pleasing Incident of the War.

The Richmond Enquirer, speak
ing of General W. H. Lytle, of Ohio,
killed while attempting to reinforce
General Thomas, in 1868, uses the
following language: "He was killed,
far in advance of his command,
while gallantly leading an assault
upon our lines, and the steed and
his dead rider were both captured.
So soon as it was known that the
author of that rare poem, as famil-
lar and as greatly admired South as
North. Il am dying, Egypt, dying"
lay dead in the camp, officers and
men crowded around to take last
look at the face of the poet soldier
who had achieved so great literary
triumph. There was no rejoicing
over the death of this fallen enemy
but there was in truth something
on each soldiers cheek that for a
moment washed away the stains OF
powder. Tenderly they took him
up, and when the battle was over
an escort of honor, appointed from
among the leading Confederate Off
GERS, bore him back to his own camp,
under flag of truce, on rudely-con-
structed funeral bier, with his mar
tial cloak around him. In life he
had touched that chord of human
sympathy which makes all the
world akin-and in death its har-
monious vibrations silence all resent
ment, and thrilled the hearts alike
of friends and foes with a nobler
passion than hatred or revenge"

Suggestions to Horsemen.

A horse which gnaws his manger,
neckyoke or halter can be furnished
with something which will bite back,
by mixing cayenne pepper with syr-
up. 1t dries on and is not easily
rubbed off, except with water, and
Is always ready to give bite for bite.
Many horses are called a little
foundered. when it is only stiff
ness of the cords of the neck and
shoulders caused by the check rein.
You have often seen a horse step
back into his stall after he had been
out to show off his good points, and
put his nose down to the floor
The groom with a wise look will
remark: "The old man gave him a
hard one to-day," while in fact the
horse was only stretching out the
cords of his neck and then, to make
matter still worse, the ignoramus
ties the halter still shorter, so as to
make him stand up TO the stall.
Chat action was an error, for if you
gag him up" and then let nature
restore the equilibrium, you will in
a short time create a contraction
in the cords of the neck and shoul>
ders, and the horse shows Stiffness,
which appears to be founder). Ny
preventive is, to feed from a manger
on level with his feet, and over
twenty inches in front. This let's a
horse feed as he was made to eat like
giraffe.
Another objection to high hangers
(and l never saw anything in their
favor is, they irritate the throat
and windpipe, and create tendency
to heavey. If horsemen would use
more common sense they would need
les medicine.

pared is the death of the German EN-
peror. Apprehensions about his case
have arisen, not so much from any
specific attack of illness as from va
rious signs, Insignificant when taken
in part, but full of significance when
grouped together. The journey to
st. Petersburgh left, it is said, bad
effect on his constitution.
