the rail and secreted themselves several
yards away, and as the engine ap-
preached pulled the rail out of it's
place. The promptness of the engineer
and the air-brakes saved the passengers
from harm, and not one was injured.
A track was at once laid around the
wrecked cars, and the train resumed its
trip, arriving here at 1880 this morning,
bringing the dead body of the engineer,
who resided here, and who leaves a wife
and three children.
A thousand conjectures are current
here in regard to the persons who robbed
the train on the Rock Island railroad
last night. The most probable one is
that the robbery was committed by per-
sons living near where the robbery took
place. The valise in which they carried
off the money from the express COM
pany's safe was found five miles south
of the wrecked train to-day. Vigilant
parties are securing Southwestern Iowa,
and it is confidently believed the rob-
bers will be caught if they remain within
the State.

Sam. Houston.

The romance of Senator Rouston's
life is hardly known to the present gen
Grafton, yet it contained enough to fur
nish material for a half-score of novels.
His escape from his mother, when, at
the age of seventeen, he fell madly III
love with the Indian maiden Tootooloo
(Sun7f FASH, and, following her to her
home, adopted the habits of the Chero-
KEGS, married her, and for three years,
under the name of Oolooteka, hunted
and fshed and fought as young Indian
brave and acknowledged chief; his I'M
expected return to his family, grown
during his absence, though still wanting
six months of his legal majority, to that
heroic stature which then, dressed in
hunting shirt and moccasins and blanket
and head gear, and even afterward, how
ever clothed, made him a man of mark !;
his abandonment, sixteen years later in
life, while Governor of Tennessee, when
his early pranks had been forgotten in
his successes as a lawyer and triumphs
as a politician, of his young and accom-
phshed bride the day after marriage !;
his resignation of office, and winding up
of business, and settlement of affairs,
the most earnest entreaties of friends
and jeers of foes; his securing by deed
all his not inconsiderable property to
his mother; his return, as an Indian
chief, to the wilderness, retaining his
native wife, and dwelling three years
longer with his tribe; and his sudden
departure, at last, for Texas, for the
purpose of becoming a herdsman on
the prairies-an show clearly enough
the large element of savagism there was
in his character. And yet he was SUI

EInnhaSiS.

Some years ago there was student
at the Theological Seminary at Andover,
who had an excellent opinion of his own
talents. On one occasion he asked the
professor who taught elocution at the
time, ''What do l especially need to
learn in in this department % "You
ought first to learn to read" said the
professor. ooh can read now," re-
piled the student. The professor hand
ed the young man Testament, and
pointing to the twenty-ffth verse of the
twenty Fourth chapter of Luke's Gospel,
he asked him to read that. The student
read: "Then he said unto them, o
fools, and slow of heart to believe all
that the prophets have spoken" "Ah, :"
said the professor, they were fools for
6elieui'g the prophets, were they ?"
OF course that was not right, and SO
the young man tried again. 80 fools,
and slow of heart to believe all that the
prophets have spoken" "The prophets,
then, are sometimes liars ?" asked the
professor. "No. o fools and slow of
heart to believe all that the prophets
have spoken" According to this read
ing" the professor suggested, the
prophets were notorious liars This
was not a satisfactory conclusion, and
SO another trial was made. go fools,
and slow of heart to believe all the proph-
cts haze spoken" 81 see now, "
said the professor "the prophets wrote
the truth, but they spoke les" This
last criticism discouraged the student,
and he acknowledged that he did not
know how to read. The difficulty lies
in the fact that the words "slow of heart
to believe" applies to the whole of the
latter part of the sentence, and emphasis
on any particular word entirely destroys
the meaning. -Nsao6uryaoort Herald.

The Cholera at Chattanooga.

DIR. Fl. V. Redfeld writes from Chat
tanooga, Tenn, under date of the 10th
" To show what cholera can do when it
tackles community it is only necessary
to refer to the death-rate here. From
the 1st to the 10Th of June, the total
deaths from all causes were only eight.
This in city of nine or ten thousand
was agreeably small. But when cholera
came the death-rate went up to about
ten day, and often more. This shows
the beauty and advisability of keeping
the gentleman with the black rag at a
distance by war on filth and stagnant
pools. Here, as at Nashville, the ma
iority of the victims have been colored.
This is easily accounted for. The ne
groes live in low parts of the city in a
perfect atmosphere of filth. They
exercise no care about the quality of
their diet or the character of their sur
roundings. They cannot understand
how it is that filth, when they do not
touch it, can make disease. If you tell
them that pool of stagrant water brings
cholera they want to know how that can
be if they neither drink nor touch it. -

Estimated.
The Altitude at which Men Can Live.

There has been great deal of discus
sion as to the altitude at which human
beings can exist, and Mr.. Glaisher him
self can tell us as much about it as any
body. In July, 1872, he and Mr.. Cox
well assembled in balloon to the enor-
nous elevation of $4,000 feet. Previ-
GUS to the start, Mr.. Glaisher's pulse
stood at seyenty-six beats a minute
Coxwel's at seventy-four At 1900
feet, the pulse of the former was at
e1ghty-four that of the latter at 100.
At 10, 600 feet Glaisher's hands and lips
were quite blue, but not his face. At
81 ZOO feet he heard his heart beating,
and his breathing became oppressed at
29, 900 he became senseless notwith-
standing which the aeronaut, in the in
terest of science, went up another 5000
feet, till he could no longer use his
hands, and had to pull the strings of the
valve with his teeth. Aeronauts who
have to make no exertions have, of
course, a great advantage over members
of the Alpine Club, and those who trust
their legs; even at $4,000 feet these
climbers feel very uncomfortable, more
SO in the Alps, it seems, than elsewhere.

highest inhabited spot in the world is,
however, the Buddhist cloister of Hanle,
in Tibet, where twenty-one persons live
at an altitude of 1880 feet. The
brothers Seglagintweit, when they ex-
plored the glaciers of the hi Gamin in
the same country, encamped at 81, 900
feet, the highest altitude at which
European ever passed the night. Even
at the top of Mont Blanc, Prof. Tyn-
dalPs guides found it very unpleasant to
do this, though the Professor himself
did not confess to feeling as bad as
they. The highest mountain in the
world is Mount Everest (Himalaya),
20, 003 feet, and the condor has been seen
"winging the blue air. 500 feet higher.
The air, by the by, is not blue" or
else, as Re Saussure pointed out, ''t the
distant mountains, which are covered
with snow, would appear blue also;'' it's
apparent color being due to the refec-
ton of light. What light can do, and
does, is marvellous and not the least
is its power of attraction to humanity

A Strange MOnstrOsity.

Among the many curiosities presented
to the physician by nature and disease,
few reach the notice of the general pub
lie, while objections the family often
prevent the physician in attendance
from acquainting even the profession
with subjects valuable to the student
and to medical science. A case of the
kind is that of colored child in South
Lancaster, Mass, two years of age,
whose head has been gradually enlarg-
ing since it's birth, until it now meas
ures twenty-five inches from ear to ear
over the top of the head, some twenty
eight inches around the head at the
forehead, and weighs, it is believed,
twenty pounds. In its present condi-
ton the body is wasted to the merest
skeleton, much deformed, and partly
paralyzed but the features of the face
are well preserved and not uncomely.
To those interested in medical science
this case presents food for investigation
which should be Immediately availed of,
as its life cannot last long. Death he's
been daily expected for a year past

Cholera and It's Causes-N0t Air, but
Water

A correspondent of the Louisville
KyO CO1rier-Joa07aal writes thus of
the cholera and its causes:
Trace the cholera from the banks of
the Ganges to the equator, and you find
1t has never prevailed as all epidemic in
granite country, but in calcareous or
limestone districts, or where the water
contains organic matter. I will mention
few facts which show clearly that chol-
era is developed by the character of the
water used as drink In 1888 the
beautiful and clearly city of Lexington,
situated in the bluegrass region-the
most fertile portion of Kentucky-was
first visited by Asiatic cholera. It swept
through that city as whirlwind. The
Angel of Death seemed to hover over
the doomed city for days and weeks,
claiming all as its victims. But two
families escaped the disease-Dr. Ben
jamin Dudley's and DR.. James Bush's.
These were the only families in the city
who used cistern water as drink. CHS
terms were then almost unknown. The
quick perception of DR.. Dudley had de-
tected the fact that persons using free
stone or c1stern water were exempted
from calcareous affections, viz. stone and
calcuh. 1t was to protect themselves
and their families from these terrible
sequels of limestone water that they had
their cisterns constructed, and not
against cholera, for none then knew of
its coming. Now, if this be merely a
coincidence, that but two families Of
population of some IL, 900 should escape.
and those two only using cistern water,
then it is a coincidence strongly resem-
bling a fact on fixed principles. Again,
there has never been epidemic cholera
on single plantation upon the Missis-
slpp1 river, from Cairo to it's mouth.
where clstern water was exclusively
used, and there is scarcely plantation
on that river, where cistern water was
not used, that the disease has not exist
ed as an epidemic. Again, every case
OF cholera which has occurred in Natchez,
prior to and since 1856, could be traced
directly to the use of water obtained
from springs gushing out through cor
nelian pebbles, clear as crystal and cold
as ice, at the base of the bluff or river
bank. In 1855 the cisterns became ex-
hausted by the drought, the citizens
were forced to use river or spring water,
and the cholera broke out in a most
malignant form again. The town Of
charlottesville, situated on the Bayou
Plaquemine, in Louisiana, is divided
nearly equally by small bayou. One
portion Of the town is occupied by Amer
leans, who use exclusively cistern water;
the other portion by French popula-
ton, who have no cisterns, but rely on
wells for water to drink In 1S49 the
French portion OF the town was nearly
destroyed by cholera, and yet not a
dozen cases occurred on the American
side OF the bayou.

4 Hungarian Race.

At the race meeting at Pesth, there is
always given a prize for native horses
ridden by peasant riders in their every
day costume. The event had already
come off, but there was a repetition Of
it in the belief, on the part of the COM
mittee, that the spectacle would interest
the Prince of Wales. About a dozen
hOrsemen took part in this peculiar con-
test. They rode barebacked, and wore
very wide white pantaloons. almost like
petticoats, light slashed waistcoats Of
different colors, green, red, blue, or
brown, buttoned over a voluminous
white shirt, with arms nearly as wide as
the trowsers. Their head-gear consisted
of a conical fur cap, surmounted by
punches of leaves or horse.hair plumes.
Some were barefooted, others wore
boots, and few-including one or two
of the barefooted-ha spurs. The
horses these remarkable Jockeys be-
strobe were for the most part animals
with great development of bone. Some
were undeniable screws, others great.
raking, gaunt young ones, without col
lar or saddle-marks, and all without
shoes. After struggling parade in
front of the stand, start was made
which would have been III the strictest
sense flying one, but several of the
horses resolutely declined to go, and,
instead, sided into the throng. The
riders kicked, tugged and thrashed the
stills of the bystanders aided their eff
forts, and at length all succeeded in
passing the stand. Some made strenu-
Gus efforts to bolt along the track by
which they had entered the course. The
race was run cracker from end to end
that is, every man fogged as hard as ne
could all the way round the course. The
winner, silent party, on big slack
jointed chestnut, passed the post before
large section of the field had come
into the straight, and, after he had
pocketed the pool and trotted away into
obscurity, competitors came riding home
singly, sending their horses along with
as industrious a determination as if
they had been working for place at the
lead Indeed, waits and strays came
dropping in at intervals in the course Of
the afternoon, and some went so far as
to assert that the old man, when
the race terminated, was then engaged
in struggle with his horse among the
bushes at the other end of the course,
and might be expected to pass the post
in the course of the night or the follow
ing morning Comical figures those
quaint riders cut it must be noted that
not one, although all were riding bare
backed, came to grief by being thrown.

who knows?

A literary bet has been made between
those two assumed scholars, Richard
Grant White and Fitzedward Hall. Mr..
White having. in Words and their
Uses, given it as his opinion that since
the days of Shakespeare and the hlng
James translation of the Bible the Ian
guage has undergone no great change,
and that the additions to 1t have been
little except new words for new
things" DR.. Hall said bluntly that such
could not be the opinion Of one who had
given attention to the development of
English in modern times" and added
that verbs, adjectives and adverbs
had since the time in question
come into our language by thou
sands. Whereupon Mr.. White,
naming twenty of the most eminent
popular, voluminous and characteristic
writers of the last hundred years, Gold
smith, Burke Cobbett, Mill, Macagley,
Helps, Ruskin, George Eliot and Troll
lope, prose writer's, and Gray, Cowper,
Wordsworth, Southey, Byron, Keats,
Shelley, Tennyson, Browning and Nor
ris, poets, offers that if DR.. Hall shall
produce from the writings Of these rep
resentative modern authors, not thou
sands, but one thousand distinct words
which were not used by the contem-
pories of Shakespeare and of the trans
iators of the King James Bible, or by
their predecessors, and which are not
the names of new things, his pub
fishers shall pay one thousand dollars to
DR.. Hall or to any benevolent institu-
ton that he may select.
