A man.. not over and above familiar with the dark ways of teiegraphy, went into country station with a message, which he insisted on having sent off inn mediately. The clerk accommo- dated him, and then placed the dispatch on 8 file. The man lott cred about some time, evidently dissatisfied. At last his patience was exhausted and he broke out with. "Ain't you going uo send that message?" The operator politely informed him that he had sent it. "No you ain't," replied the indignant man-"there it is now on the file"

The Fellow that Looks Like Me.

Max Adeler, who writes for a Philadelphia paper, has a friend named Simmer. who deserves pity. He was going up to Read. ing not long since, and when reaching the depot, he happened to look in the ladies' room. A woman sat there with 8 lot ot baggage and three children, and when she saw Simmer she rush ed at him, and before he could de. fend himself, she flung her arms about his neck, nestled her head upon his breast, and burst into tears. Simmer was amazed, in- dignant, confounded; and ere he could find utterance to his feel ings, she eXclaimed,z-
 70 Henry, dear Henry We are united a last. re you Feli9 Is Amt Martha stili dive? Have n't you lOnged to see yOUr own Louisa ?"
 And she looked into Simmer s face and smiled through her tears.
 "ldadam,p said he s0lemniy, If ] am the, person &I.~.e~ .o GO Henry, permit me to say that you have made a mistake. My name is Lemuel, I have no Aunt Martha, and I don't OWna solitary Louisa. Oblige me by letting go my coat, it will excite remark"
 Then she buried her bonnet deeper into his waist coat, and began to cry harder than ever, and said,-
 70 Henry, how, how can you treat me so? How can you pre- tend that you are not my hus- band?'
 Madam" screamed Simmer, Eff you do not cease sopping my shirt bosom, and remove your in- fernal umbrella from my corn. l shall be obliged to call the police. Let me go, l say!"
 "The children are here" she persisted. "They recognize their dear father. Don't you, chil- .dren?"
 "Yes, yes," they exclaimed, ''It's pa, it's our dear pa."
 And then they grabbed Slim mer by his trowser legs, and hung to his coat tail.

 And he tried to Hi-7--7-z him. self from her emhFaae-WHil5 ai the brakemen aud the baggage master, and the newsbOys stood around, and said his conduct wa, infamous. n the midst Of the struggle stranger entered with q carpet bag.

scTibcs his pills aud p~ot.uns, assuming them
TO be such, when, in reality. they are all aymP-

while they are thus only able perhaps to pal

cause. and encourage their practice until large
bills are made, when the suffering patients
are no better in the end, but probably worse

THE RAILROADS AND THEIR EARN
INGS-

Statistics of the railroads of the
United States show that during the
past two years the amount invested in
railways exceeded 81, 900, 900, 900. The
cost at the close of the past year of the
67,237 miles of line was So, 7S4, 543, 034,
against 50, 159, 424, LOST for 1872, and
81, 664, 627, 645 for 1871. At the close
of 1873, the total mileage was 70,65l,
of which 81, 4S1 was constructed during
the past ten years.
The earnings Of the different roads
for 1872 were $4G5, al, 0J5; for 1871,
$403, 329, 208; the Increase for the two
years being 1923, 900, 729, or at the rate
of SCI, SOC, 900 per annum. The rates of
earnings upon the whole investment the
past year have been 49, per cent. The
net earnings for the past year were
S1S3, $40, $50, or 1876 per cent, upon
the investment. Theearnings per head
of IL population, estimated for the
past year at Al, 211, 600, equaled $3.50,
against $11.63 for 1872, and $3.50 for
1871.

0vE OF NATURES WONDERS.

hasten to inform you Of a most re-
markable discovery we have made here
in the shape Of a burrowing-worm that
we find along the numerous stretches
of hard. sharp and brittle sand lying
above the lodges of gray, finty stone
that skirt this section in every direc-
ton from three 10 five feet below the
surface. They average from five to six
inches in length, and are about the size
of a pipe-stem in their largest parts.
Their color is dark gray, and the skin
very nearly as tough as tanned hide.
Their undersides are several degrees
lighter in shade, and a ridge of rough
ribs extends along their undersides
about three inches. One inch Of their
tails is hard, and much resembles a
bone. Their heads are small and very
sharp. Two small black eyes are sunk
deep in their heads, and their noses are
hard and bony. Undoubtedly they are
the most muscular little reptile living.
In a narrow strip of sand deposit in
this section of the township, about a
half mile north of the Postoffice, We
found countless thousands of these
worms b%urrowing in the sand. With
the aid Of several farm laborers We
threw up a quantity of sand and dug
down about four feet until We came to
hard rock.
Upon close examination We found the
rock literally drilled through in hun
dreds Of places. The holes were the
exact size of these worms, and to fur
Their prove that they were the sole and
only cause of this most singular state
of affairs, many of the holes were pune
tured ard worms withdrawn from them.
BY great effort, and with the use of a
crow-bar, We broke off a piece Of the
boulder and found it drilled through
and through in ffty-seven distinct
places. The holes were drilled with as
much regularity and evenness as if the
work had been done by man, aided by
the best and most improved machinery.
We placed several worms under the
microscope, and found their bodies q
perfect netw ork of strong and fbrous
muscles, concentrating at a point on the
back about midway between the head
and tail. Their noses are strong bone
of finty hardness, and with these they
are able to work their way through the
hardest buolder. -BcrkS County Pa

MOON AND EARTH METEORS.

Prof. Newton has estimated, by a
fair estimate OF observed facts, that
each day on the average 400 millions Of
meteors fall of all sizes down 10 the
minutest discernible in Il telescope
upon the earth's atmosphere. 50 that on
the moons unprotected globe-w!tn its
surface one-thirteenth of the earth's-
about 80 millions fall each day, even at
the present time. OF large meteoric
masses only n few hundred fall each
year on the earth, and, perhaps, about
q hundred on the noon; but still, even
at the present rate of downfall, millions
of large masses must have fallen on the
moon during the time when her surface
was plastic, while presumably a much
larger Misunderstanding many much
larger masses-must have fallen during
that period. Thus, not only without
strainlng probabilities, but by taking
only the most probable assumptions as
to the past, we have arrived Mt a result
which compels us 20 believe that the
moons surface has been very much
marked by meteoric downfall, while it
renders it by no means unlikely that Il
large proportion of the markings SO left
would be discernible under telescope
scrutiny so that strong evidence exists
in favor of that hypothesis which one
or two writers (who presumably have
not given great attention to the recent
progress of meteoric astronomy would
dismiss "without consideration y Cthe
way, doubtless, i'll which they have dis
missed it.

1t wrenches one badly to step on the
wrong stair, but few can help Laughing
at the awful stride he makes. 1t is
equally funny to see n man meet the
wrong customer" and go to talking
and ~gesticulating at him as if he was
somebody else.
Jones went to the deaf and dumb asy-
lum the other day to inspect the insti-
tuition. Upon entering he encountered
a man, evidently an inmate, and he at
once e~ndeavored to explain to the man
by making signs upon his fingers that
he wanted to look through the place.
The man also made signs, which Jones
could not comprehend. Then Jones
made other and more elaborate mo-
tons, which set the man at work with
great violence, and for the next ten
minutes they. stood in the hall gesticu-
lating and twisting their fingers, with
cut being able to comprehend what the
other meant. Finally Jones became
angry, and in an ontburst Of wrath ex-
claimed:
ooh! get ont, you idiot I'm tired
of bothering with you"'
Whereupon the man said, "That's
just what l was going to say TO you."
"Ohl You can sceak, can you?
Then why didn't .yor do SO. and not
keep me standing :notioning to you? 1
thought you were deaf and dumb"
"Icame here to inspect the asylum,'
said Jones, "and I took you Tor a
patient"
That's what I came here for, and I
thought you were an attendant" said
the man.
