A had lightning Rod.

Robert Dale Owen, in his autobi-
ographical narrative in the Atlantic
Monthly for September, relates the fol-
towing narrative of Mr.. Greenwood,
one OF the Harmony Colonists:
We had, during the summer of 1926,
several terrific thunder storms such az
! had never before witnessed. The
steeple of our church was shattered,
and several hoardinghOuscs struck. 1t
was during one of these storms, when
the whole heavens seemed illuminated
and the rain was falling in torrents,
that ] saw old Greenwood, thoroughly
drenched, and carrying upright, as a
soldier does his musket a slender iron
rod, ten or twelve feet long. He was
walking in the middle of the street,
passed with slow step the house in
which was, and, ms | aftcrward
learned, paraded every street in the
village in the same deliberate manner.
Next day | met him and asked an eX-
planation. "Ah, well, my young
friend" said he, "rm very old, l suffer
much, and j thought it might be u
good chance to slip of and he laid qui-
etly in the corner of the peach or
chard," the temporary cemetery of the
settlement,

Cleansing Sinks OF Cities.


We find an account OF new inVcn-
ton for emptying the cess-pools Of cit
les, far superior to anything we have
before heard OF. 1t is now being oper-
ated in Baltimore, and is also adopted
in Savannah 1t is described as "an
iron cylinder, four feet long, nine
inches in diameter, and has two valves
made of soft rubber. These valves are
tubular and collapsing, and so con-
structed that it is impossible to obstruct
them with any matter that can pass
through the hose, which is four inches
in diameter. Before the operation he-
gan trial of it with water filed with
rags, shavings, aahcs and other solid
matter was made and il worked per-
fectly. The pump, which is portable,
WIS carried by two men to the sink Of
the old city hall, and the tank, which
is a'wooden cylinder Of 6C0 gallons ca
pacity, was located in the alley in the
rear, about eighty feet distant. The
hose attachments were made, and the
pump was worked by four men, who,
in the space of five minutes filed the
tank.
In the top of the tank is nm aperture,
with hose reaching to a charcoal fire
pot alongside, and the gas forced ffom
the tank passes through the burning
charcoal, which entirely destroys all
odor. In the tank is an indicator,
which acts when il is filled. The ves-
sci is on wheels, and is drawn easily
by two horses. All who witnessed the
operation were delighted, and the
Health Commissioner expressed his
decided opinion that ii will perfectly
answer the desired purpose. 1t can he
used in the day rs well as night time,
and gives to the people a degree of
comfort which they have never before
known"
We hope some entcrprising citizen
of Galveston will procure the agency
of the above machine and introduce il
here at once. II cffectually prevents
every offensive odor, and will doubt
less contribute much to the general
health. Indeed, we think our city au-
thorities should try and have it intro
duced for sanitary purposes.

The passengers OH the eastern-bound
Kansas Pacific train on Saturday night
enjoyed the rare opportunity of wit
Messing one of the fiercest fights be-
tween desperadoes and equally cour-
ageous Texans ever witnessed upon
the Western plains. The facts, as re-
lated by one of the railway men last
evening, are us follOws
"An old drover from the far-ofi
plains Of Texas got upon the Kansas
Pacific train at Ellsworth, with the In
tention of going TO Kansas city. There
also got on board the train at the same
station two of the cattle dealers, one OF
them a short, muscular little fellow,
who plays the most prominent part in
this affair 4 party Of three of those
pestiferous thieves known 20 all West
ern railways-monte gamblers-soon
made their presence known in the ear
next 10 the sleeping-car, and in a few
minutes had po0ksted the old drover's
last S2O note. II was at this lupcinre
that the aforementioned little cattle
man "eame out strong'--as Mark Ia
bier would say.
He interfered in the old drover's be-
half, when the monte men very arro-
gantly told him TO mind his own busi-
ness. The young man resented the
hint, words led TO words, blows led to
blows. The young man managed r.
put in series of scientific sledge-ham-
mer blows, which soon sent the monte
thief bowling and bleeding over the
seats The other monte men joinsd IN

Ono of the witticsl, mcrritSt and
most entertaining of writers OH the
subject of angling was II brother"
called Pcnn-not much known to fame,
hut undisputcd authority among the
glens where he ruled Hking o fishers
and vale o guiil men. He says:
l'irst-Tind out If there Is any fish
in The river to which you arc going; if
SO, get some one who knows the water
to show you where the fish lie; and
when he shows them to you, don't you
show yourself to them.
Second--Don't imagine, if the fish
does not dart away, that he has not
seen you; on the contrary, he is very
likely devoting his whole attention %
you, and preparing tostart the moment
danger is imminent.
I'hird-Ifyon are fishing with Il fly,
and you pass it neatlytiroe times over
him, and he refuses it, you need not
wait any longer; he has seen Your line
Oi INV itilioii, ilitt NtNH iibt iltSilN w
come.
Fourth If you are above fish when
YOU hook him, get below him as soon
as you can, for if you pull him one in
stant against the stream, and he il q
heavy fish, he will break his hold.
Fifth - Never throw IL long line
when Il short one will answer.
Sixth - Never mind what is said
about "playing your fish until he is
tired" put him in your basket as soon
rs you can.
Sevcnth-Remembert that everything
depends upon the way you begin your
acquaintance. lfyou can prevail upon
fish to 90 down the stream little
way with you, you will afterward have
no difficulty in persuading him to let
you have the pleasure of seeing him
to dinner.
10 these excellent maXims | beg
leave to add one of Mr.. Stoddart's, es-
pecially intended for bachelors, young
and old: "Never fall in love with 4
woman by the waterside; there are sit
uations in which every woman looks
an angel.o
In conclusion, hope all true broth
ers ef the angle may never lack, in its
season, that dish of trout which good
old Izaak says is "too good for any but
anglers, or very honest men."-[ Chris

to take a hand, when the other cattle
drovers met them, and in n short time
punished them fcarluly. Finding
themselves beaten, they rctrcatcd at
the muzalc Of the cattle mems rcvolv-
crs to the sleeping ear, and locking
themselves up in the drawing room,
badc defiance to further attack.
"A council of war was held in the
front ear, when it was agreed that the
monte men should be allowed To hold
the sleeping cUruntii the train reached
Snlina, whcrea Sheriii'spossc haI been
telcgraphed for. But this arrange
mCnt was not satisfactory To the brave
little drovcr. lie had resolved upon
recovering the old mans money, and
appeared to treat with contempt the
knives and pistols pointed ut the win
dows of the drawing room.
".Al'tcr washing oli'thc blood from his
face and hands, he walked boldly into
the slceping-car, where the three gam
blers, driven TO bay, stood watch
within the locked glass door. With II
huge navy revolver in each hand the
young man dashed open the door of the
den, and putting his cooked REVIEWERS
at the astonishcd gamblers, cOolly de-
manded the old drOvcr'' lost money.
"F'inding that he was determined to
have it or do worse, and seeing the
passengers closing in with cooked re-
volvers, the gamblers gave up the
money. This did not satisfy the young
drover. He now demanded the sur
render of all the knives and pistols in
their possession. After some pa7leJ-
ing the arms were given up, and the
monte men held under guard until
the train rolled into :Salinu, where Il
s;llcriiis posse awaited them with
bracelets and IL guard of honor. They
were taken from the train and escorted
to mii Conductor i!TinEerhOH and
Pullman Car Conductor Flint received
the thanks of the passengers for their
coolness and prompt action in securing
the arrest Of the monte thieves, while
the Young drover deserves more praise
and credit than mere words can express.
He learned the monte gang a lesson

Russia, but II Is too small 10 appear to
good advantage, and does not fully ana
truly represent us. Upon the whole,
our machines are universally admired
and commended, and although many
Of them are similar to machines ofthe
French and English, yet we furnish
more that is really novel than amy
other nation, and some even so so far
as to say that there is really nothing
new outside of America. But, per-
haps, HAT would be carrying self
praise u little too far.
England, our nearest neighbor, sends
some fine specimens of heavy machih-
cry, such as those for cutting oil bars
of cold iron from four to six inches in
width and an inch in thickness, and the
work is done with as much ease as one
would cut heavy writing paper with II
pair of shears. Other machines are for
punching holes through great heavy
plates of cold iron, and still others are
making bolts, pressing them into form
and putting heads on them, all mt one
motion. The washing of wool is here
progressing very satisfactorily by
large machine apparently without an
attendant, while the next machine
makes it into thread, and the next
wcavcs it into II fabric.
The French exhibit machines for
manufacturing cotton cloths Of Vali-
Gus styles. Belgium sends locomotives.
One of them, rs large as two ordinary
ones, has the appearance of two hav-
ing been driven into one, so that but
one smoke stack is lett for both, while
the other parts remain quite distinct,
there being six drive wheels on each
side, and the whole weight of the loco
motive rests upon the drive wheel, as
indeed is generally the case in Europe.
Germany could not be truly repre-
sented without 1howing their nachin-
cry for brewing beer and we could GER
tainly ask for no greater display in this
direction.
But our heads are aching with the
whirl and noise, our eyes tired OF look
ing at half mile of machinery in full
motion, and we will leave this Pandc-
monium for this time, thinking it bet
ter TO see few thing well than to give
a careless glance toa multitude of OBJ
iccts.

Another Railroad from New Orleans
90 Texas Proposed.

In the proceedings Of the New Or
leans Chamber Of Commerce, on the
evening Of the lst instant, rs reported
in the Times, we find the following res
olutions looking to II railroad from Cen
trail Texas:
Resolved That in the opinion of
this Chamber of Commerce, the time
has fully arrived when the work OF
locating and instructing railroad to
and through Central Texas from New
Orleans can no longer be deferred with
out serious detriment to the business of
our city.
Resolved, That the organization of
II strictly New Orleans company, CONF
posed Of our best known and most un-
eXceptionable citizens, for the prosecu-
ton of the great, all-important public
work, is earnestly recommended.
"Resolved, That the members ofthis
Chamber will encourage and support
such company in the performance of
such work, to the extent of their
influence, ability and available means"
General Bayley advocated the adop-
ton of his resolution, saying that II
road to Central Texas was of the first
| importance to our city, as it would
make all roads now built or projected
there from northern and western points
tributary to our city. II was, he said,
of far more importance than line to
| Houston. We should have this line
| first, and next one to Shreveport, and
after that one to Alexandria, connect
ing with the Northern road at that
point.
'NIr. Kennard also favored road to
Central Texas, and spoke of the folly
of carrying produce from Shreveport to
Houston, where they could not handle
it. During visit to Galveston he had
become convinced that New Orleans
was without rival for the trade of the
great West. While Galveston has but
ten feet of water, and wants an appro-
priation from Congress of Sl0,00OO0O
to make it sixteen feet, we have eight
cen feet, and with S6,000,000 could
make ii twenty-seven feet and we
have good plea to go before Congress
for this aid We now want a railroad
to strike near Dalla5-thc great rail
road center OF Texas. Three railroads
will pass through that city within n
year. and if we favor Il new road ii
should be in that direction. He was
convinced that the old route would not
lave been persevered in SO long, but
that the road was supposed to have
valuable franchises already secured. A
road to Central Texas is now the great
est want of New Orleans.
General Bayley then gave an inter-
csting synopsis OF railroad movements
before the war, which were interrupted
and suspended by il, and III answer to
| inquiry on the action Of the Chamber,
said that he wished the resolution
adopted, after which he would UNDER
! take the formation of Il company by
notarial act. He said that he should
advocate the spending OF the first
money of the company in building n
read from Plaqueminc toward Central
Texas, Il distance of about one hundred
and fifty miles when we would be met
by Texas road.
"Aiter some further remarks the
resolutions were adopted"

How DrnnIs 10 be Drunk.

An exchange relates the following
incident: ain certain trial i'm which
the Lowell lawyer was engaged, one OF
the witnesses swore that on a certain
occasion Benjamin's client was drunk,
This subjected the witness ga q severe
eross- -pxaminstiqn from the aforesaid
counsel, wllo alter propounding ygrioua
questions In regard TO the degree Of
drunkenness exhibited by his client, de
manded In authoritative tones that the
witness should tell him I" how drunk
must a man he to be drunk ~ The re-
sponse of the witness was prompt and
emphatic:
&C Just about as drunk as General But
Ter was when he fell off his horse at the
Concord muster, during the governor
ship Of General Banks"
The witness was Immediately dis
missed, as being possessed with too
much information.
