"Making Up With Her."

WE old fellows have all been there, and
we can remember all about it, We loved
her-guess we didi-and we knew that
she loved in return. But one day she
gave Sam Tompkins a smile, or she let
Tom Watkins walk home with her under
an umbrella, or she did some other simple
thing, and we got huffy. We loved her
all the time, but we sat down and wrote
her a letter, dating it at midnight, saying
that we wanted all those letters and that
ring and that photograph back. We hoped
she wouldn't return 'em but we felt a
malicious pleasure in furnishing her. The
letter was sent, or handed to her person
ally, and we met her with cold "good
morning" as she came to school, but be-
slowed our best smile on Lavina Wedge,
the homeliest girl in the town.
Our heart ached when we looked across
the desks and saw her slyly reading the
letter and trying to keep back the tears /;
but we went over to the next girl behind
to borrow geography, and to the second
girl in front to borrow grammar, and we
were entirely unconscious of the presence
of the girl we loved. We stood beside her
in the class as straight as pole, never
letting on that we saw her, and the mutual
agreement that if one missed the other
gether, was broken. We tried to feel
maliciously glad when we went to the
head and left her near the foot, but we
couldn't do it.
1t went on this way for three or four
days. Once in q while we caught her
looking at us with a sad, sweet smile, as
if she were some poor orphan with no
friend in the world and her note said
that she couldn't part with the letters and
the keepsakes. We held out bravely
until it began to hurt us the most, and
then we got ready, to "make up" 1t
couldn't be done suddenly that would be
acknowledging our wrong. We waited
until noontime then, as she ate her dinner
in her seat, we began looking for lost
book. We thought it was under the seat
next to hers, and while we were looking
for it she spoke. We heard, but pretended
not to, and she spoke again. Then we
coldly replied, but sat down near by and
asked if "she had those letters with her."
She said no, and we moved nearer. She
said it wasn't her fault, and we said
it wasn't ours, ard somehow our fingers
touched.
No one knew what burden of anxiety
was rolled away in five minutes, and how
much clearer the afternoon sun shone for
it. She seemed dearer than ever before,
and when the brown eyes cleared the
tears away, and the merry dimples came
back, we wondered how we could have
been such an unfeeling wretch; and yet it
was the same thing over in less than six
weeks.
All, mel Those lovers who have had
smooth path and married without having
quarrels and make-ups and jealousies will
never know what true love is.-M Quad,

A BROKEN RAIL.

Train Wrecked ON the Northwestern
Railroads.&c. Cars Thrown or an
Fmbankment and Burned - Forty
Persons Seriously Injured, but No
Lives Lost-TOtaI Destruction of The in
baggage.
On the morning of the 5th of February the
Green Bay night express, due in Chicago al
GAS a. M, came laundering along at the rate
Of forty miles an hour, and had reached a
steep embankment few rods west of Kish
waukee Creek, between Harvard and Wood.
stock, Illinois, when the engine struck broken
rail- The locomotive and tender, followedby
the mail and express car, passed the point In
safety, but the baggage car was thrown from
the track, and was followed by second
class car, three passenger coaches and a Pull
man sleeper, and before twas possible for any
one Of the passengers to realize what had oc-
Cured, the whole were tumbling pell-mell
down the precipitous steep, and only came to
a full stop when they reached the bottom,
which was fully thirty feet below the main
track Almost simultaneously with the fall
a fire broke out, caused by the overturning OF
the stove in the baggage car, which lit up the
scene and added to the horrors of the calam-
ity.
The passengers quickly recovered from the
almost paralyzing effects of the accident, and
set about releasing such of their fellow-travel-
ers as were yet confined in the debris, with
such success that within ten minutes of the
time of the accident every living person was
conveyed to place OF safety. The train and
everything inanimate it held except that por-
tion which safely passed the obstruction, were
utterly consumed, and in half an hour there
was nothing left but a confused mass of iron
wheels and twisted rods.
About forty of the passengers were more or
less injured, some of them seriously, but none
it is thought fatally. The baggage was en-
tirely consumed, the position of the car being
such that no efforts could be made to secure
it. In the baggage car was the corpse of a
lady en- route from Appleton, Wis, to Canada,
which with everything else was burned to
ashes.
1t was a miracle that an accident involving
such extraordinary risk resulted in so COM
paratively few serious cases. Had the passen-
gers been as numerous as on ordinary oc-
casions, or had the accident happened at an
earlier hour in the night, the result could not
have failed of being infinitely more disastrous.
The loss to the Company is about $4,000,
without counting the moneys paid to passen-
gers for the destruction of baggage and
damages for personal injuries.

sand a ring is built up round them, and
liquid plaster is poured into the cell thus
formed Generally two such molds are
necessary, one for the upper and one for
the lower surface of the leaf. Sometimes
wooden molds are employed, into which
(when moistened to prevent adhesion) the
wax is poured in a melted but not very
hot state. Occasionally the entire mold
is dipped into molten wax, to produce
petals and leaves of peculiar size and
shape. The stems are made by working
wax dexterously around wires, with or
without an intervening layer of silken
thread. BY the use of flock, down, var
nishes, ETC., the leaves are made to pre-
sent glossy surface on one side and a
velvety surface on the other. A singular
mode of preparing films of usual thin
ness is by the aid of small wooden cyl
inder, like cotton reel, or rather rib
bon reel this is dipped and rotated in
melted wax until 1t takes up thin layer,
which layer, when cold, is cut and un
coiled; the difference of snoothness
which the two surfaces presents fit them

all these materials into a built up flower

THE GAD'S HILL OUTRAGE

A Railroad Train in Southern Missouri
stopped and PIundered-The Express
Messenger and the Passengers Robbed,
and the Mails Rifled-The Iowa Out
rage Repeated.
The existence of a band of outlaws, the
peers of those of whom Dick Turpin and
Claude Duval were the acknowledged leaders,
making their theater of operations the States
of Missouri, Iowa and Arkansas, has been
abundantly demonstrated during the last few
months. The circumstances attending their
attack upon the railroad train in Iowa, the
plunder of country store in Western Mis-
souri, and the recent robbery of stage load OF
passengers near Hot Springs, Arkansas, will
be well remembered by intelligent readers.
From money point of view the first outrage
was the more successful one, although at
tended with the loss Of life, and it is not sur
prising, therefore, that the members of this
band have looked upon the many railroad
trains running across the country with covet-
GUS eyes. The task of capturing an unguard-
ed railroad train is not a difficult one, as a
description of the last attempt in that direc-
ton will amply demonstrate.
The Little Rock express left st. Louis, Mo-,
on the morning of January 81, and arrived at
Gad's Hill, a little platform station on the
prairies, one hundred and twenty miles from
st.. Louis, little before five o'clock in the
afternoon. The train consisted of the mail
car, two coaches and sleeping car, and had
on board about twenty-five passengers, bound
for Little Rock, Hot Springs, and other places
in Arkansas. On nearing the place the con-
ductor discovered several people on the plat
form, and one of them waved red flag. This
is a signal of danger ahead, and is so under
stood by all railroad men. The train Stacked
up, and the switch was so turned that the
train was run upon side track, while
the switch at the other end was also turned
80 that the train was cut off from all
connection with the main track. This gave
those on board the train chance to look
about them and take in the exact condition OF
things. A number of persons were on the
platform under guard, and 1t was soon as
certained that all the residents of the place,
including the little boys and girls, had been
captured. 1t seemed that the place was in
possession Of five desperadoes, armed with
revolvers and doube-baTeled shot.guns.
AS soon as possible the conductor jumped
from the train, and man thoroughly masked
advanced and stuck pistol in his face and
shouted, "Stand still, or I'll blow the top OF
your head on" Atthe same time he yelled out
'lf shot is fired out of the car, will kill the
conductor" The engineer, fireman and con
ductor were placed upon the platform and
told TO stand still or they would be ehot
Then the express messenger and the mai
AGENT were Dlaced there the whole heino

with double barreled shotgun. Two OF the
robbers then went through the express safe,
and then the registered letters were overhauled,
and everything of value in both taken. They
then started through the train and systematic
ally robbed the passengers. The amount Of
money thus obtained was something over
$1,000, besides several Watches pistols and
overcoats. The baggage Of the passengers was
not disturbed. After they had finished they
told the conductor that he could go on with
his train. They then strolled off to their
horses, and before the train got fairly under
way were seen leisurely trotting their horses
southwark. One of them, when robbing the
express messenger, entered on the book,
"Robbed at Gads Hill," and remarked that
he had made similar entry in an express
book before. 1t was evident that they were
used to the business. The question that in
terests people who travel in that section of
the country is, "How long is that sort of
business to be allowed to continue?"

The Lunatics' Ball.

AT the recent annual ball at the Lunatic
Asylum in New Haven, Conn, twenty
couples entered the hall, ranged in two
lines facing each other, and stood in
profound silence, waiting the music. In
this party the strangeness of the perform
ers was most apparent. The men wore a
look upon their faces of such resolution
as one would expect on that of brave
man brought face to face with some terri
BILE danger. The women were more wan
dering in their glances, but nearly all
were serious, too. The music burst forth
and simultaneous movement followed |;
all sorts of movements, some cultivated
steps, but for the most part mere violent
shuffling exercise. Directly they all
seemed to have forgotten that they had
partners, and settled down into dancing.
There was some peculiarity about every
individual, but in every one was observa-
BILE sort of ecstacy. Some of them kept
their gaze fixed on the ceiling, turning
neither TO the right nor the left; others
kept watch upon their feet, which, TO
