The BrOaddus Family.

Very famous has the Broaddus family been
in the annals of the Virginia Baptists. The
contemporary and peer in eloquence of Father
Kerr was Andrew Broaddus of Carolina. We
doubt whether, in the ministry Or out OF it, his
superior as an orator was to be found IN the
State in his day He has left son, Andrew
Broaddus, D. d. known as "Andrew Broaddus,
Junior" He also has son Andrew, who IS a
preacher, and son Luther, who is pastor IN
Edrefeld, S. c., and q third son, recently Ii
censed to preach. There was another Andrew
B., a brother of DR.. VIM. F. Broaddus, who
began to preach late in life and in the esteem
of his wife, made very poor preach OF 1T; lie
wanted to 60 to Kentucky, but she did not
wish to leave her friends But one day, after
he had made specially bad failure IN trying

her friends, she would 60 to Kentucky SO 10
Kentucky he went, and thus when, in after
Years he returned to Virginia. he was known
~ "Kentucky Andrew" We preached with
him much in the army, and it gives us pleasure
to testify that, Notwithstanding his unprom-
ising beginning, he became an able and emil
nently useful minister of Christ
Rev. w. F. Broaddus, D. D., still lives in
Fredericksburg, Va, now an old man, and al
most blind. We have never known loveller
or more interesting man, and if his life is ever
faithfully written, it will be seen that not more
than one, if one, of all his contemporaries has
been more widely useful than he. We know
and love the dear old man, and could tell a
hundred good anecdotes of him, if we had
space.

A LOCOMOTIVE ON THE RAMPAGE.-A very
extraordinary railroad accident occurred
at Altoona, on Saturday, the 18th instant.
A locomotive standing in the yard of the Penn
sylvania Company, was waiting at the clnder
pile to be cleaned, when laborer jumped on
her and attempted to move her short distance
backward. In so doing he ran the locomotive
against another one behind, inaicting severe
damage. He started the engine forward, and,
in few seconds losing control of her, jumped
of, leaving the throttle valve wide open. The
engine rapidly increased her speed and dashed
through the roundhouse, demolishing a heavy
wooden door in her course. From the round
house she followed light iron track. used for
small truck cars, into the large machine shop,
where over four hundred hands are employed,
breaking another heavy door in her way. Run
ming through the immense shops, the engine
inflicted great damage. One man, walking
along the track in the shop, was instantly
killed, and another, running drilling machine,
was fatally injured. A number of valuable
machines were damaged, and scene of confu-
sion followed After running the whole length
of the shop at rate of twenty-five miles an
hour the engine came in contact with another
door, demolshiug it. Beyond the door was a
trench between the machine and boiler shops,
about three feet deep and fifteen wide. The
engine ran directly over this obstruction, leap
ing the three feet with the utmost ease, and
finally landed in the boiler room, where she
ended her course in badly demoralized con-
diton. Six thousand dollars is the estimate
of the damage done by this little piece of care

INSANITY RARE AMONG SAvAGEs.-"If we
may rely on the observations of travellers"
says the Journal of Mental Science, "there has
always been comparatively little insanity
among savages" Admitting this to be the
case, it is not difficult to guess at the reasons of
their comparative immunity. In civilized
society there are three principal causes to
which we may trace nearly every mental
disorder, viz, hereditary predisposition, intem-
perance, and mental anxieties. Now, savages
are almost exempt from the operation OF these
three causes They do not poison their brain
with alcohol until the white man introduces 1t
to them. The weak in mind and body are not
carefully attended to and kept alive as among
civilized people; if they are not actually oes-
stroyed by natural or artificial means they are
got rid of, so they do not themselves swell the
numbers of insane in their own generation, nor
increase them in the next generation by
propagating their kind. Again, savages do
not intermarry in the same family; among
them the prohibition Of marriage extends often
to distant relatives, persons having the most
distant blood affinity being forbidden to marry:
1t can scarcely be doubted that the reason OF
such prohibition was their experience OF the
evils resulting from the inter-marriage OF
relatives-an experience which, distinct as IS
the lesson which it teaches, has not yet avaiicd
to check the intermarriages of first cousins
among civilized people.
Lastly, the savage has few and simple wants
springing from his appetites, and these he
graties With him there is no eager STRAIN
ing beyond his strength after social aims
that are not inrinsically worth ti the efforts 9a
failure to compass such aims, no detection from
the reaction which follows the realization of
an overrated ambitious passion, no anxious
sense of responsibility; he has no lifelong
hypocricies to keep up, no tormenting remorse
of conscience. no painful reflection of an
exaggerated self-conciousness in short, none
of the passions that constitute the chief wear
and tear of civilized life.

IMPROVED BR1pLE-A bride consisting of
single strap has recently been patented. A
loop passes around the neck, the two parts
meeting e IN together at the top the head, behind
the ears turning down between them and pass
ing through buckle; thence down the face
one upon the other to another buckle, from
which the parts scperate and pass down each
cheek to loop or ring in the bit, and thence
extend, in the manner of the reins, over the
back of the neck where they join together.

the upper buckle or loop is simply moved up or

sity of providing timber supply is be-
| coming so obvious and pressing that it is
quite time for the Government (which is
| the people Themselves to begin to con-
slider what may be rightly and wisely
done by the Government to meet it.
Why cannot the present policy of sell
ing off the public lands as rapidlyHas pos
| sible be changed, at least so far as the
| a59oded lands are concerned? Why can
not it be modified, as 10 them, at least so
| far as to make the sale of the timber only,
reserving the land to the Government?
In the management of private property
| it is an everyday affair for the owner OF
woodland to sell the "wood leave" of a
tract, reserving the land with the express
purpose of allowing il to grow up again
| In wood. Why could not the Government
do the sameg Is il not, indeed, every day
becoming increasingly obvious that some
| such policy must be speedily adopted, If
we would not soon see onr few remaining
great natural forest regions swept as bare
as millions upon millions of acres already
have been.
Once sold to private purchasers, the
wood is usually soon swept of, and is not
allowed to grow again. Such OF the land
as can be cultivated is converted into
farms; the rest, albeit it is almost worth
less except as woodland, becomes pas
ture or barren waste; when perhaps
with slight protection and encouragement
it would in few years be again clothed
with vigorous growth of young wood,
to become valuable timber in time.
Maine has considerable timber region,
of little value for other purposes, which
is perhaps not yet beyond the power of
the State to protect. New York is already
beginning to consider the question of pre-
serving her Adirondack forests. The ma

disposed of to private purchasers, but fast

which nothing is being done. Is it no,
the first and most obvious step in solving
the problem of timber supply, TO preserve
what we have? Is it not time to consider
seriously whether il is not the duty of the
National Government TO lead the way by
prompt and effective measures to that
end ?-Bioomington IH.) Paragraph.

Forest Preservation.

WE have heretofore published numer
Gus articles, selected or original, bearing
upon the great and growing importance
Of the question of the future timber sup
ply of this country. The fact is now
generally admitted, that our vast forests
once supposed inexhaustible, have already
been and are still being destroyed to SC
great an extent that the very next genera
alton is likely to find its supply Of wood
insufficient, unless some great change, al
present not probable, takes place in our
modes of life, so that the demand for wood
in all its multiform uses shall be very
greatly decreased, or unless the supply
be largely increased.
Attention has been already attracted to
one branch of the problem of future sup
ply,--that of encouraging new planta
tions; especially in the almost treeless
regions between the Missouri and the
Rocky Mountains. II is probable that
some effectual plan Of Government en-
couragement Of that very necessary work
may be adopted. Even without it, the
efforts already inaugurated by Railroad
corporations owning large grants of land
and by individual settlers planting small
groves for their OWL use, are likely to
character OF the Great Plains within the
next generation.
The importance of the planting branch
of the supply question can scarcely be
over estimated, and we wish to see 1t still
urged until its pressing.necegsity shall be
still better understood than now, and still
more active and general measures shall
be adopted to meet 1t.
Meanwhile, we cannot help thinking
the idea is too generally and easily dis.
carded as hopeless, of doing something
effectual 10 preserve the natural forests
which we yet have In European conn.
tries, as we understand, especially in the
continental ones, great tracts Of forests
are retained strictly in the hands of the
State, which preserves and fosters their
growth, prevents their indigcriminate and
wastaful destruction, and In fact controls
and regulates the periodical cuttings OF
the crops of timber as carefully and
strictly as the individual farmer does Of
his crops of grain.
We suspect II has been too easily taken
for granted that nothing Of this kind is
possible in this country. The arbitrary
and severe forest regulations by which
some of the old nations have guarded
their woodlands have established preju-
dice in our minds against the mode Of
attaining the end, which perhaps has un.
necessarily extended TO the end itself

What Happened In OswegO.

THE Oswego Times has good story to
tell, in connection with the literary piracy
in which the students in our colleges and
academies indulge. The late ID. p. Page,
the first principal of the Albany State
Normal School, made one morning be-
fore the whole school remarks to the fol-
lowing purport: He said that few years
previous, while travelling in Massachu-
sets, his wife, at hotel, found an article
in a magazine which impressed her so ia
vorably that she copied 1t into her scrap
book. He read it at the time and had not
thought of it since until the evening be-
fore, when the same article had been
handed to him by one Of the students for
correction" as an original composition.
He sincerely regretted that among young
gentlemen and ladies, aspiring to the
honorable position of teachers, even one
should be found who would do SO dishon-
orable a thing as TO try to pass off, as his
own or her own, the productions OF
another, and Mis- first impulse was to ex-
pose the fraud in open school. But he
presumed it was the first thing of the
kind that had occurred in that insti-
tuition, and as there might be extenuating
circumstances, he had concluded TO
forgive the offender, provided that indi-
vidual should call at his room within
three days, confess the fault, and promise
not to repeat it, In this statement MIR.
Page gave no intimation as to the charac.
ter OF the piece" or the personality OF
the offender, and, before the expiration OF
the three days, more than two-thirds OF
the students had called upon him, ac-
knowledged the offense, and apologized,
"and," said he, while relating the cir
cumstance, "the right man did not come
at ALL" The story needs no comments,
and embodies its own conclusions.

Skating With A Girl.

I've rounded each depth in the water of
pleasure,
And gone every round in their eddying
whirl;
And I'll tell you the truth there's nothing
can measure
The fun of a winters night skate with a
girl. II, -
That is rosy, laughing girl,
A spunky, saucy, roguish girl,
... A frank, good -natured, jolly, joking,
-. Mischief-loving, poser-poklng,
Teasing, winning, careless, merry,
Doting, dashing, sprightly, cherry,
Lively, mirthful frisky, witty,
Tasty, trusting, pouty, pretty,
Smiling, jaunty, spicy girl,
With sparkling eye and wavy curl,
Ruby lips and teeth like pearl.
Now onward we dash DER the ice tract
flying,
And banislling forever are sorrow and
pain,
A fall! but no mattcr-tlere's nothing like
trying,
SO take her up gently and onward again,
And she laughs, rs swift we glide,
While whisper at Ecr side
You're the gaycst, brightest, neatcst
girl,
Yes the very dearest, sweetest girl,
Oh! The trucst, trimmcst, prctticst,
Frankest, faircst proudcst, witticst,
The very best and rarcst girl,
The finest girl that | can see,
The girl of all the world for me.
Then give nc the ice, with Il jolly good
skate,
With MY own darling girl, and I'll whistle
at fate.
