MISCELLA AN Y.
A New Story.

The Indianapolis Sentinel Of recent
date tells the following story.
Some years ago, there was q well
known engineer, whose name is not Civ
en- for good and sufficielt t reasons, who
ran passenger train on one OF the
most popular and most travelled roads
that run out of indianapolis. Az a GER
tain place on the road, every night for
about week, as the passenger train ran
by this engineer, came laundering along
it was certain TO be thrown from the
track by Instructions placed there. Sew
rral OF these mishaps caused loss of life,
and the ability Of the engineer was being
questioned. One night as the untortu.
nate train was nearing the fatal spot,
the engineer who sitting glum and silent
at the throttle turned TO the fireman and
said "lf this trains jumps the track at
tina, place To night you follow me;
''DoN'T STOP FOR ANYTHING,
But keep close after me. Somebody
has been throwing this train off the track
and Pm going to catch him."
When the train arrived at the usual
place it struck a misplaced rail and was
banked. The engineer, closely followed
10y the fireman, jumped from the engire,
and ran into corntield and started up II
mai that lay concealed there, Up' n
bringing the culprit back to the wreck
the enraged passengers wanted to lynch
him, but the engineer, stearn, cold,
determined mah, prevented them, say
ing he would take care oil him, anu
through the intercession of the conduc-
tor the trembling wretch was left in the
charge of the engineer. The train was
righled and was soon speeding on its
way. The prisoner who had confessed
the deed, had been seated on the engine
and the fireman placed beside him, as
guard. When the Train was on smooth
piece of track the engineer beckoned the
fireman TO stand out OF the way. The
ticman stepped aside and the engineer
picked up a round stick of OF wood and
struck the criminal such blow upor
the head that it stunned him. He thel
caught The quiverng form of the poo
wretch, and opening the fnruace doors
threw the body into the hot seething bel
OF flame. The doors were shut, th
train ratified along and never, until o.
his death bed did the engineer confes
the act, nor was it ascertained what hac
} been the fate of the tiend who had bee
in the habit of throwing the passenge

TEACHING THE GIRLS TO WoRK.-Far-
mer's little daughters can be taught
many valuable duties at the early age OF
seven or eight. They can be taught to
knit their own stockings and mittens,
sew patchwork, aud even spin. At the
age Of nine or eleven let them have a
qullting, and invite the little girls in the
neighbe hood 10 help them quilt. This
will induce them TO be smart and per-
serving. Likewise have them practice in
cooking, as every mother knows this is
he most essential part OF housekeeping
We must not think because they do not
go about il as handily rs we do,or scatter
a little -four, they must wait till they, are
sixteen. just 60 into the pantry andtel
them how TO proceed To make buscuil
and pies-then leave them 10 cook and
use their own judgment, as they vii
have more confidence when left alone
Praise and encourage them if they snc
coed. Never speak discouragingly o.
their effott il they do not. 1t is vert
satisfactory 10 know that our daughteri
will accomplish their domestic dntieI
with economy, cheerfulness and alacrity
The neglect of early training in thu
above mentioned duties, perhaps may b
the reason why so many girls are no
skilled in those duties, and therefore d,
not succeed, when called to take cbarg,
of home Of their ewn.

snowy, and the plumes of the different
branches of the service are designated
by different colors. The coat is OF dark
blue cloth, double-breasted, with a skirt
extending from one-half to three-quarters
of the distance between the hip and the
knee. Staff officers wore pants Of dark
blue cloth, without stripe; other officers
wore light blue pants; with stripe OF
similar color to the tacings Of their re-
spective arms, except for infantry officers;
where the stripe is Of dark blue. Gener-
al Sherman wore two rows of buttons
upon the breast of his coat, placed In
tours. He wore epaulettes, and bis
plume consisred OF three white ostrich
feathers. Other general aud staff Off
GERS wore three black ostrich feathers aud
regimental officers wore plumes OF horse
hair or cocks feathers of similar color

THE Herald Of Health thinks that if
men are TO lose their lives for murder,
they ought to be got out of the way as
decently as possible. If society decides
that the murderer canhot be safely kept
alive for fear he will do more injury, let
it take him out of the way without shock
ing sensitive wives and delicate invalids
and tenderhearted children with a brutal
exhibition. We would not even have
the prisoner know it himself. Within a
few years a method of butchering animals
has been invented, in which they suffer
no pain. Their brains are deliriously
Intoxicated by peculiar an@sthetic,
and nothing can hurt them. Such an
anesthetic might be silently passed
into the prisoners cell while he slept
and the work would be done. Would
not the ends of justice be quite as well
met Would not the public be saved
from a most disgusting spectacle, and
the papers that deal in such news betsks
themselves to some other means of graf
flying the public ear more in accordance
with public sentiment.

Pittsburg has had modern comedy
of errors. A yonng wife suspected her
lord of too great an intimacy with the
comely mulatto cook, and 30 one night,
when he acted suspicious, che laid for
him. Sending off the cook, she covered
her head with shawl, and waited in the
kitchen for the confirmation of her sus-
picions. Some one rapidly entered short
ly after, and she felt an arm around her
waist, and warm kisses on her lips.
Then she threw off her Disguise 10 trans

her husband she beheld the biggest

Flirting.

1t is remarkable, but nevertheless true,
that as a rule. f1irts, both male and fe-
male, do not marry quickly. The chanc-
es are that girl who becomes engaged
at eighteen, and goes on becoming en-
gagged ahd d;sengaged, as is the custom
for hirts TO do, ultimately settles down
into a confirmed old maid. If she does
wed, as general rule, she developes in
TO vi-ulent wasp, makes her husband
miserable, and brings up her children
badly. 1t is not very difficult TO find
reasons why fiirts do not marry. Sensi-
bic men admire in woman something
besides pretty face and engaging man.
ners. They love intellect, common sense
and heart qualifications, which the fiirt
does not possess. Tie true woman al.
lows her affections full play, and is not
ashamed of them. She will never lead
a mau to believe she cares for him when
shs does no snch thing she will not firt
with him just for the sake of flirting.
She has true conception Of what is
right, and possesses great deal more
common sense. She has derived her ed
ucation from something else than
three-v olume novels and the society OF
the empty-pated. She can be thorough.
ly merry, but she can be merry withou,
being idioiic. She may attract less at
tention in drawingroom than flrt
does, because she is less noisy and obtrti-
sive; but for all that, she will be married
sooner, and make her husband better
and truer wife. A true woman deos no,
care for the spoony young man. She
dislikes his foppishness, and vivid com
plments he pays her, and his effe,nin
acy. He quickly finds this out anC
leaves her in peace. Thus, if he ulti
mately gets married, it is to the firt; ant
the happy pair lead the jolliest cat-and
dog life imaginable.
