RAPID RAILWAY TRAvRLNG.-The
Railroad Gazette says Fast time in
Germany, as the English railroads count
fast time, has been almost unknown
heretofore, but by the first of next
month it is reported that a train is to
run between Berlin and Hamburg, $50
miles, in 3, hours, or at the astounding
rate of 52I miles per hour, including
three stops for water. Heretofore the
trains have taken SIX hours to make this
trip, but they had to stop at twenty
three intermediate stations instead of
three.

CINCINNATI has a curiosity of the
Quilp variety in the person of a deaf
mute printerknown as Dummy Davis
The lack OF other senses was made up
in him by a temper of rare brutality,
and a disposition violent, vindictive,
and irresponsible. He has broken
women's legs, mutilated children,
MANNED men, and established a reputa-
ton for "ugliness" which found e1-
preston in the general belief that he
would yet kill a man. His offenses
have always been lightly punished on
account of his natural :fiiction. His
father il n of the proprietors of the
VIENNA Circus, now on exhibition at Gin
cinnati. Davis was allowed the free
run of the place, and on the occasion
which justified the popular expectation
was in u bad humor. He was stirring
up the monkeys in a cage, when his
father ordered him to desist. "Dum-
my DAVIS, refusing to obey, n police
man was ordered to eject him. The
officer e~ndeavored to do so, when Davis
shot him dead. The corpse lay in the
tent during the performance, the Dunn
my coolly joining the audience in the
main amphitheater where he was ar
rested. 1t is a curious fact, which
meets the charge against Dickens of
exaggeration in the character of Quilp,
that Davis, with all his hideous moral
deformity, was married to a very de-
ent young woman.

Indiana Granger: Abodt the Goth
of February, Mr.. Thomas Hale, of
Monroe township, Marion county, had
his house and his entire stock of pro-
visions for the year burned, together
with his farming implements. The
fire had not died out before the
grangers Of the vicinity had commenc-
ed to rebuild. They hadsoon cut and
hewn logs enough to build a two
story house, 1924. The roof is being
finished now. Let those who have
heretofore snecred at the grdngers take
lesson in practical charity from this.
1t has been charged by some of the
enemies of the order that selfshness
was the motive that actuatcd them in
organizing. In no class is there
a greater amomtof the milk of human
kindness than in the agricultural.

The Editor Of the Athens Post, re-
ferring 10 the announcement that an
East Tennessee grange agency viii
shortly be estabG-hcd in Knoxville,
with the purpose of efecting purchas-
es, in the way Of supplies, for the
members OF the oranges of this part
Of the State, buying at wholesale rates
their sugar, coffee, salt, molasses, iron,
domestic, &c, &c, as wellas theirag-
ricultural implements, sewing ma
chimes, &c, remarks: Thus it will be
seen that Knoxville Is to be the mid
die man of East Tennessee, who will
do all the buying and all the selling
for such as are fortunate enough to
belong TO the brotherhood. The plan
NAV work well for somebody, but
how the farmers in McMinn are to be
benefited, their stock improved, and
productive capacity of their lands in
creased by paying parties at Knoxville
10 attend to business which they can
better manage themselves, is one of
those difficult problems which no one
but a granger is expected to be able to
solve. Still it may turn out pretty
good thing for Knoxville, in the build
ing up of which we are more or less
interested"

The Executive Committee of the
National Grange of the Patrons Of
Husbandry are maturing a plan for
the formation cf statistical bureau
in connection with the National Grange
for the collection and dissemination of
Information in regard to the condition
Of crops throughout the country.
The new bureau will he located at
Washington, d. C., and in charge of
d. W. Aiken, Secretary of the State
Grangeof South Carolina. Subordi-
nate oranges will report direct to the
State oranges all information of in
terest relating to the crops, and the
different State oranges will report by
telegraph to the statistical bureau at
Washington, which viii complete and
summarize these reports into a month
ly report of crops in all sections of the
country, and will simultaneously trans
NIT a report by telegraph monthly to
all State Oranges, which in turn will
furnish it to every subordinate Grange
within their jurisdiction. This infor-
nation will not be furnished to the
press for publication, it being intend
ed exclusively for the benefit of the
members of the order.
