Guilds Signal.
BY BRET HARTE.

Two low whistles, quaint and clear,
That was the signal the engineer
That was the signal that Guild, tits said
Gave to his wife at Providence,
As through the sleeping town and thence,
Out in the night.
On to the light,
Down past the farms lying white. he sped.
AS husbands greeting, scant no doubt,
Yet to the woman looking out,
Watching and waiting, no serenade,
Love song or midnight roundelay
Said what that whistle seemed to say:
"To my trust true
So love to you'll
Working or waiting, Good nightl" it said.
Brisk young bagmen, tourists fine,
Old commuters along the line,
Brakemen and porters glanced ahead,
Smiled as the signal, sharp, intense,
Pierced through the shadows of Providence
Nothing amss
Nothing Pit is
Only Guild calling his wife," they said.
Summer and winter, the old refrain
Rang o'er the pillows of ripening grain,
Pierced through the budding boughs o'erhead,
Flew down the track when the red leaves burne
Like living Goals from the engine spurned:
Sang as it flew:
ITO our trust true,
First of all Duty-Good night" it said.
Aud then, one night, it was heard no more
From Stonington over Rhode Island shore,
And the folks in Providence smiled and said,
AS they turned in their beds, "The engineer
Has ouce forgotten his midnight cheer"
ONE only knew
To his trust true
Guild lay under his engine, dead.

THE BRAVE ENGINEER AND FIREMAN.
William d. Guild, the engineer on the
train at the time of the Richmond Switch
r. l., disaster, of which We gave an
account recently, could not have per-
ceived the break long before the dreadful
moment came. But though he might
have made an effort to escape, he stayed
firm, shut off the steam, applied the brake.
aud went to his death with his face to the
front. He was instantly killed, probably
by the steam from the broken boiler
Through the cab window his body could be
seen burning, and when at last the fire
was subdued and his charred remains
were found, his hand still grasped the
throttle. The body of the fireman. George
Eldred, was found as be perished, the coal
shovel in his hands, as if he was just put
ting coal in the furnace According to
all accounts Guild was a noble fellow.
and lived as he had died, with the conf
dence and honor of all that knew him
His home was in that part of Providence
known as Elmwood, his house being close
to the railroad crossing. Whenever he
passed this spot, whether in daylight or
darkness, he used to sound short peculiar
signal on the locomotive whistle groes
ing to his wife and notification that he
was "all right Year in and year out
that signal never failed. The regular pas
sengers came to know it, and on hearing il
would say, There's Guilds signal to bis
wife," Saturday she missed it for the
first time and will never hear it again.
George Eldred, tie fireman, had many
friends and was highly esteemed. He
was engaged to be married to young
woman in Westerly.

I ANEcDoTF OF PRoF. WEBBER.-The
Rev. Prof. Webber officiates occasionally
for one of the Congregational churches in
Burlington. When coming up from Mid
dlebury on a recent Saturday evening for
that purpose, lively Boston " drummer
shared a seat with him in the car. The
B. d. was very loquacious. and at once
engaged the Professor in conversation
which was kept up until Burlington was
reached, without revealing the latter's
home or vocation. Drummer was evil
IDENTIFY pleased with his new acquaintance,
and asked where he should stop. The
Professor replied, at the American.
Drummer said he would stop there also.
At the hotel he made himself very agree
able to the Professor until they retired
for the night, aud the next morning asked
him where he should attend church.
Professor said he usually attended the
Congregational. Drummer said he would
accompany him, though he generally at
tended the Episcopal. The gentlemen
went to church drummer followed the
Professor up the aisle until the pulpit
stairs were reached and when he realized
the situation, remarked confusedly that he
guessed he wouldn't 60 any farther, and
sank into the nearest seat. Boston drum
mers are pretty sharp, but the best Of
them will get "sold'' sometimes.

A WONDERFUL PHOTOGRAPHIC FEAT
Some time ago Gov. Stanford, the owner of
the horse Occident, which was made ia
nous from having been beaten in race
with the Goldsmith Maid. desired to have
photograph of the animal taken while
SAID annual was going at full speed. MIR.
Maybridge, the artist, was applied to, but
he expressed his doubts that it could be
done. He began experimenting, however,
and after a while was able to ca ch objects
on the wing with great success. A few
days ago he announced to the owner Of De-
cident that he belived he would take the
picture. He procured all the sheets to be
had in the stable, and with these made
rejecting back ground. Over this Occi-
dent was trained to tro., and everything
was then In readiness for the trial. The
great difficulty was to trans6x an impres
SION while the horse was moving at the
rate of 3S feet to the second. The first
experiment of opening and closing the cam
era on the first day left NO result; the
second day. with increased velocity in open
ing and closing, a shadow was caught.
On the third day, the artist, having
studied the matter thoroughly, contrived
to have two boards slip past each other
by touching a spring, and in SO doing to
leave an eighth of an inch opening for the
6ve-hundredth part of second, as the
horse passed, and 10y an arrangement of
double lenses, crossed, secured negative
that shows Occident in full notion per-
feet likeness Of the horse. The space of
time was so small that the spokes of the
wheels of the sulky were caught as if they
were not in motion. This is probably the
most wonderful success in photographing
ever yet achieved, and the artist is as
proud of his discovery as the governor is Of
the picture taken.

Did you ever see man fish around in
the bottom of a tub of water for a piece
of soap. At the first he simply reaches
down upon it to pick it right up and is
very much surprised to fnd that he hasn't
got it. Then he approaches it more eau
tiously, puts his hands over it, and then
comes down noiselessly till he gets every
finger about it, and then squeezes it tight,
and-misses it. He looks at it for a
moment before making another effort, and
fills up the interval with few remarks
The third attempt is a sort Of semi-circle
described with a good deal of sagacity
but is failure. Other remarks follow.
Then he makes succession of dives and
Stops the water over his clothing, and

ADVENTURES WITH Por OF PAINT
Old Mr.. Watson, on Nelson street, has
got a nice little bill to pay. He sent
man down town for pot of paint and
ladder. The man got the paint, and then
went to a lumber yard after ladder.
Then he tied the paint pot on the end Of
the ladder, and put the ladder upon his
shoulder. This was very smart arrange
ment aud the man himself admired it very
much. He started for home this way. and
didn't find any trouble in getting along
the first block, because people had an i'm
preston that ladder with pot of yel-
low paint dangling on the end of it wasn't
exactly the thing to triAe with, so they
balanced along on the curb stone. or rub
bed up against the buildings. Pretty soon
the man saw somebody in store be knew,
and he turned round to speak to him,
and drove one end of the ladder into
millinery case and knocked the crown
out OF an eighteen-dollar bonnet. Then
he backed off in alright, and knocked
down two sewing machine agents with
the other end. Then he started to turn
around, and an old gentleman, who was
desperately endeavoring to pull his wife
out Of danger, saw the peril, and shout
ed out, /" Bl, there But it was too late
The pot struck against an awning post,
tipped to one side, and the entire contents

Then he dropped the ladder and fed into
the country, shouting murder" and "6re'
