DoN'T VACCINATE YoURsELF.-Ii anv
OF our young men propose to try the ex-
pertinent of vaccinating themselves, they
would do well to stop and read the fol-
lowing, before making the attempt: An
Iowa paper informs us that a young
man named Jacob Heron, aged % years,
and living about FIVE miles south OF
Hamburg, La, attempted to vaccinate
himself. lie cut cash in his arm, took
some virus from the arm of his sister,
who had been vaccinated several days
previous, and inserted it in the wound,
covering the whole with a piece of mois-
tened newspaper. No symptoms of kline
pox appeared, but in few days the
wound became running sore, and, on
the sixth day from the vaccination, the
attending physician decided that morti-
fication had taken place to such an extent
that the only possible means of saving
his life would be by amputalion of the
arm. The amputation was accordingly
performed, but too late TO save the life
of the patient.

THE BRAVE ENGINEER AND FIRE
MAN.-William ID. Guild, the engineer
on the train at the time Of the Rich
mond Switch { Il. L. disaster, of which
we gave an account last week, could not
have perceived the break long before
the dreadful moment came. But though
he might have made an effort to escape,
he staid firm, shut off the steam, applied
the brake, and 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 we're found, his
hand still grasped the throttle. The
body of the fireman, George Eldred, was
found as he perished, the coal shovel in
his hands, as if he was just putting coal
in the furnace. According to all ac-
counts Guild was a noble fellow, and
lived as he had died, with the confidence
and honor of ali that knew him. His
home was in that part of Providence
known as Elmwood, his house being
close to the railroad crossing. When
ever he passed this spot, whether in day
light or darkness, he used TO sound a
short peculiar signal on the locomotive
whistle as greeting to his wife and a
notification that he was "all right. -
Year in and year out that signal never
failed. The regular passengers came to
know it, and on hearing it would say,
" There's Guilds signal to his wife,"
Saturday she missed it for the first time
and will never hear it again. George
Eldred, the fireman, had many friends
and was highly esteemed. He was en-
gagged to be married to young woman
in Westerly.

One of the saddest tragedies on record
is the Alders fratricide near Chicago,
several days ago. Two young men,
brothers, quarreled, got to blows, and
one of them, in the frenzy of passion,
stabbed the other with a small knife,
killing him. No sooner had he commit
ted the act than be was so completely
overwhelmed by sorrow that it is doubt
ful whether his reason will withstand the
test; and to add still further to the sad
ness of the event the father of the young
men, while on the witness stand at the
coroner's inquest, on Saturday, suddenly
became insane. The family are Hol-
landers, and the murderer who walls
and weeps continually over the bloody
deed to which an ungovernable temper
impelled him, now lies in jail to await
the action of the Grand Jury.

several days and perhaps over Sunday.
On Saturday be returned the team he
had been using, to Mr.. Stewards, and
started for home across lots, but had not
got far, apparently, before he fell and
probably died at once. He had had
trouble with his lungs and his physician
had warned him that he was liable to
sudden death. His age was about 80
and he leaves a wife.

IT Wasn't HER HUSBAND, AFTER
ALL A story has gone the rounds Of
literary gossip about an attached pair of
names not unknown to fame, who we're
literary and of good taste. The lady,
thinking that as she and her husband
were all in all to each other, it was as
well they should remain so, desired of
the hostess that there might be no intro
ductions to the other boarders, which
was observed. Various tender passages
between the amiable pair on their way
TO and from the dining-room edited the
family during the season. In time a
Boston man came to board, and on his
way to the basement at dinner, going
down late he heard light laugh behind
him, and a figure not so light as the
laugh sprang on his shoulders and claim
ed ride down stairs. The Boston man
took things coolly, carried his burden
down into the dining-room, and shot her
into a vacant seat at the table. The la
dy looked up TO dnd her husband already
there before her, and every eye was
turned to watch these extraordinary pro
ceedings. There was nothing to be done
but to burst into tears, which she did
