AMATEUR RAILRoADING.-The Fredericks-
Burg and Gordonsvile Railroad Company has
some seventeen miles of road complete from
Fredericksburg, Va, to Parker's Store, which
is not now operated. Some of the means de-.
vised by the people on the line to make use of
the track, are thus described by the Fredericks-
burg LEDGER: "a gentleman who is residing
here, who is the owner of small stationary
engine, has attached to it a.hat car on the
Fredericksburg and Gordonsville Railroad, and
with molasses hogshead for his water-tank,
runs up and down the road between this city
aud Parker's Store for freight and passengers.
One of those indefatigable geniuses peculiar to
the Wilderness of Spotsylvania, becoming dis
gusted with the tardy movements of the rail
road company, and fearful that his hoop-poles,
If kept much longer on hand, would not be
merchantable, conceived the novel idea of
hauling his poles to town on fat-car drawn
by young bull. The car was loaded with 100
bundles Of poles. There was some difficulty
in teaching the bull exactly what was expected
of him. The nodus operandi was as follows :
The bull drew the car up the grades, and was
then unhitched and mounted on the platform
at the rear of the car, which then ran down
the grade without help. AS soon as his bull
ship got the hang of the thing, he took to it
very kindly, dragging the car up the grades
with great alacrity, and evincing the same
pleasure in riding down, that is shown by boys
who drag their sleighs uphill for the pleasure
of sliding down again.

4 Dutchman on the Witness Stand.

A Chicago correspondent tells the following
At q recent trial before Justice Dougherty, it
was thought important by the counsel to deter
mine the length of time certain "two quarters
of beef. two hogs and one sheep" remained In
an express wagon in front of plaintiffs store,
before they were taken away by the defendant.
The witness was German, whose knowledge
of English was very limited, but he testifedin
a very plain, straightforward way to having
carried it out and put it into the aforesaid
wagon.
Then the following ensued:
Counse-"State to the jury how long it was
after you took the meat from the store, and put
it into the wagon, before it was taken away.
Witness-"Now cunnot tell dat. l dinks
bout dwelve feet. mot say nearer as dat
Counsel-"You don'b understand me. How
long was it from the wagon before it was taken
away by the defendant"
Witness-"Now know not vat you ask dat
for. Der wagon he vas back up NIT der side
walk, and dats most as long as it vas. You
dell me how long der sidewalk was. Den feet!
Dwelye feet? Den dells how long it vas?'
Counsel-"I don't want to find out how low
lie sidewalk was, but want to know speaking
very slowly how-long- his-meat-was-ln
the-wapon -.before--it --it-was-taken--
W;tness-"O, dat. Well, now not sold any
more meat so. all time weigh him; never
measured meat not yet. But l dinks bout tree
feet" Here the spectators and his honor and
thejury smiled audibly. 'Iknow not, shente,,
men, how is dis. tell you all 1 can as good
as know"
Counsel-"Look herel I want to know how
long it was before the meat was taken away,
after it was put into the wagon?"
Witness looking very knowingly at the
counsel ]-"Now you dry to get me in scrape.
Dat meat shoost so long as he vas in de shop.
OATS all 1 dold you. Dat meat vas dead meat.
He don't got much longer in den dousan year,

THE VICE OF DRINKING Sometimes, says
the New York Times, it happens that the most
effective temperance sermons are delivered in
our courts of Justice, and one such sermon was
lately heard in the General Sessions. A per-
son calling himself John Thompson was ar
raigned on charge of burglary, and in an
ordinary case the proof against him would have
been of the strongest kind, for he was found
upon the premises into which he had made an
unlawful entrance. But he told story which
convinced the court that the only crime he
had committed was against himself. He would
not plead guilty to the charge Of burglary, for
he said that if he had broken into the store it
was when he was insane from drink, and that
he had no thought of stealing anything unless
it might be glass of liquor. He then went
on to tell most pitiful tale of opportunities
lost and \ life wrecked by intemperance.
Standing at the bar of justice, he felt himself
so completely in the power of this vice that he
was compelled to admit that he considered
himself proper subject for an inebriate asy-
hm. He recounted twenty.seven years of
reputable employment, which in the end had
been wasted by his infatuation. His story was
believed, and he was told to so and endeavor
In the future to lead a different life.
This is by no means an uncommon story.
Whoever has occasion to be about the street at
night is likely to come in contact with some
wreck of a man who tells something to the
same effect. These men are almost invariably
of middle age, and present some traces of
former prosperity and respectability. Like
Thompson, they all ascribe their downfall to
drink, and their stories are wofully alike in
their details. They began with the occasional
social glass with friend, and secuted the idea
that they would ever become the slaves Of
upon them. and they were consumed by all in
satiable thirst which demanded constant indul
gence. To satisfy it they had sacrificed them
Selves and their families. They had squan
dered their property and destroyed their health
to satiate an ungovernable passion, and had at
last become "bumners" or criminals, like
Thompson.

"RELEAsED ON HIS Own REcoGNIzANCE." !"
The Eufaula Times tells the following
story:
A planter of this county, when out in his
field the other day, hung his coat over a fence
near the public road and went to work.
Soon afterward a negro came along the road
and saw the coat, and waiting his opportunity,
hoped over the fence, secured the coat and re-
turned to the road Just as he leaped over the
fence with the coat the planter spied him, and
gave pursuit. Being in his shirt sleeves and
swift of foot, he soon caught the thief
and recovered the coat. "What did you do
with him ?' we asked. "Well, sir" replied
the planter II just turned in and whaled him
like hi, and released him on his own recogni-
zance, IS the law requires"

Fashions of Solomon,s Time and ofths Present,

It is.a an. interesting fact, and true to,a great
extent. that the style of dress and ornaments
of the Hebrew ladies of the present day-and
in fact, the prevailing toilet of all ladies-is
much the same as during the time Of Solomon
With all the changes and variations OF centu-
ries, the gradations. and crinolines, we now
find much Of the simple grace and easy SYM
metry of ancient Greece. The Scriptures mar.
rate great many things about the style, OF
dress worn in the time of Solomon, and In tne
law of Moses several directions are given con-
cerning garments worn by the israelIes. u
the Book of Judges the girls of that period
are described by Deborah as "a prey of divers
colors of needlework," while Lemuel says /:
sOTheir clothing is of silk and purple" In the
freouent intercourse between the Jewish and
other nations the ladies, tired of their primi-
tive simplicity, sought the fashions of the Gle
yer Egyptians, the elegant Phenicians and
the luxurious Persians. Even patient JOB ne-
came impatient at the dresses, and Isaiah de-
nounces the women of the period" living for
nothing but to dress and filtration, with the
one, desire to "see and be seen." The tunics
worn by the ladies in the time of Solomon were
much like the polonaise of to-day, and the
belts now worn with fancy clasps are about
the same as the leather girdles and silver
buckles worn of old. We also find recorded
that trains were worn to dresses, and that
camel's hair shawls were common. Embrol-
dered mantles,. fastened with golden pins, are
also spoken Of The hair was also oiled, dyed
and put up in coils; little curls were let hang
over the forehead, and, strange to say, the
girls of Solomon's time, it is stated, used paint
Wells were worn, and sandals were made OF
blue and violet colored leather with fancy
latchets. Solomon, as is related, said to Shu-
lamite: elbow beautiful gre thy feet with shoes,
@. princes daughterp' p' Hair nets were worn,
and earrings of all forms and much value were
very common. Bracelets on the right arm,
strings of pearls and heavy gold chains around
the neck, rings on the fingers and other orna-
meuts were all worn by the ancient Hebrew
ladies'.

A GRANGER's DREAM.-A Granger dreamed
that he died. He went straight to the spirit
worlds; he knocked at the gate of the New
Jerusalem, and it was opened unto him. The
books we're opened he was asked, "Did you
ever belong to any secret society? ?" To which
he replied, 81 did-to the Grangers." "Then,
sir, you can't be admitted--depart." He then
went to the door of the bottomless pit, where
the same questions were again asked him by
the Devil, and he was told to depart. After
he had gone a little way off, he was accosted
lowing propositions were made: "stranger," )"
said Nick, II will not admit you here; they do
not want you in heaven but will sell you
two hundred barrels of birthstone for cash, ten
per cent. of, and you can starta little hell of
your own, with no agents or midde-men."

ANEcDoTE OF CONGRESSMAN NEsMITH.-
The funny man of the House this winter is said
to be Mr.. Nesmith, of Oregon, who tells on
himselfs some very amusing stories. He served
one term in the Senate several years ago, and
few days after he was sworn in he was pass
ing one of the cloak rooms, and inside were
Fessenden, Morrill, and several others, whose
names we can't recall. They hailed him,
invited MIN in, and after conversing for few
moments they asked him very abruptly:
eng Nesmith, you have come from very
wild country, where you say the greater portion
of your life has been passed. Will you tell US
what first struck you on coming to the Senate p
"Well, gentlemen, when l took my seat in
this august body, said to be composed of the
brains of the country, l was overwhelmed with
the strangeness of the one idea, how came to
be here"
ooh! AhL Ughl So! And then Mr..
Nesmith, what then-what your next cause fol
wonder?"
'eThe next thing, gentlemen" answered
Nesmith, slowly gathering up his great length
"that came to me and puzzled me more than
the first thought. was how in the deuce all you
other fellows got here !"
There was shout, and from that day these
solemn old fellows, who had thought to over
awe by their pomposity the crude young
senator, were his sworn friends, and never neg
lected an occasion to tell this story Washing
