Brotherhood of Engineers,

The headquarters of the International
Division of the Brotherhood of Loco
motive Engineers is located at Clevve-
land, Ohio. From the last report of the
Grand Chief Engineer, Mr.. @. Wilson,
made at the Philadelphia meeting, we
learn that the progress of the Order has
been rapid for the past year. There are
172 divisions, with total membership of
$500 but since that time the additions
will bring the aggregate up to 10000.
The total cash on hand October / was
sos, ,803, exclusive of over Sc, 900 as the
net incsme of the Journal, a periodical
under the control of the G. G. E. There
were SO deaths during the past year,
and $21, ,641 were dispensed to meet the
wants of the families of the deceased.
The late railroad strike has brought
the brotherhood prominently before the
people, as the public is intimately con-
cerned in the movements of the rail
roads. A correspondent had an inter-
view with Mr.. Wilson, in which he
stated that the recent strike was not
authorized, consented to, nor encour-
aged by the brotherhood in any par
ticular. The rules did not Justify it,
nor did the Order sanction it. The
brotherhood, at their headquarters,
deny all knowledge of the strike in an
official charactar.

Chang and Eng at Home,

"Chang and Eng" the Siamese twins,
are settled about forty miles west of
Salem, North Carolina, and have been
for q number of years in Surry County,
near Mount Airy. They each have a
very good farm, adjoining each other,
and both have families. They stay al
ternately two weeks at time at each
others farm. Both have children, who
have fine education, and one daughter,
who had some literary aspirations, died
some two or three years ago. One of
the twins had daughter recently mar
ried. They have good residences and
buildings on their farms, and are
considered good and successful farmers
here, and very good and kind neigh
bors. Being in their neighborhood, /
went to see them at the residence of
Mr.. Eng Bunker, and found the broth
ers there, and was treated very hospit-
ably by them AID the family. They
have, it is thonght, great deal OF
money employed in mercantile pursuits
in the little village of Mount Airy,
Surry County, N. c., and much more,
the bulk of their estate is in New York
City

Texas Cattle.

i stampede among Texas cattle, says
writer in Scri6ner's, is something
which battles description you must
witness it. 1t is tempest of horns
and tails, thunder of hoofs, light
ming of wild eyes can describe it no
better. Merely to see man on foot is
sometimes sufficient to set the average
Texan cattle into frenzy of fear, and
a speedy stampede ; for the great ma
jority of them have never been ap-
preached save by men on horseback.
The gathering up of stock is no small
task, as herd of seventy-five thousand
cattle will range over an area fifty miles
wide by hundred miles long. Large
stock -raisers are always increasing their
stock by buying herds adjacent to their
ranges. Many persons made fortunes
by simply gathering up. and branding
the cattle which the rightful owners
have neglected to brand and cattle
found unbranded, and year old are
known as Mavericks" The origin of
the name is very funny.
Col. Maverick, an old and wealthy
citizen of San Antonio, once placed a
small herd of cattle on an island in
Matagorda Bay, and having too many
other things to think of, soon forgot all
about them. After lapse of several
years, some fishermen sent the Colonel
word that his cattle had increased
alarmingly, and that there was not
grass enough on the island to maintain
them. So he sent men to bring them
off. There is probably nothing more
awful in the whole history of
cattle-raising than the story of those
beasts, from the time they were driven
from the island until they had scattered
to the four corners of Western Texas.
Among these Matagordian cattle which
had run wild for years were eight hun
dred notable and ferocious bulls and
wherever they went they found the
country vacant before them. 1t was as
if menagerie of lions had broken loose
in q village. Mr.. Maverick never sue
ceeded in keeping any of the herd to-
gether they all ran madly whenever a
man came in sight /; and for many a
day after, whenever any unbranded and
wild cattle were seen about
the ranges, they were called "Maver-
icks." The bulls were finally dispersed
among the ranges but they were long
the terror of the land.

Drinking Hard Water.

Hard water has sometimes been
thought unhealthy, and people have
taken great pains to build cisterns in
their houses, where rain water purified
might be had for the table. But nature
rarely makes mistakes, and spring water
is almost uniformly hard. 1t is found,
on extensive and careful inquiry, that
hard water is more healthy than soft.
The body needs some of the salts held
in solution in hard water, and suffers il
they are not supplied in some way.
In England, the countries where hard
water abound are more healthy than
those where soft water is used. The
same fact appears in cities, where the
mortality is least in the sections sup
piled with hard water. Contrary to the
general impression, soft water acts on
lead pipes more powerfully thas hard,
and induces danger. Those who have
built rain-water cisterns, thinking them
more healthy than wells, will need to
study the wiser methods of nature.

Statistics of Bengal.

The Christian Union says that CEN
sus of Bengal lately taken makes the
population 67,000,000, instead of 40,-
100000, as was estimated. In some
districts there are 600 to the square
mile. The number of Mohammedans
is far in excess of popular estimate,
which has counted them at about 49,
900, 900, while they are found to be 90
664, 900. OF all who call themselves
Hindoos in faith there are AZ, ,674, 900.
Ths Buddhists are $4,000 in number,
and the Christians $4,000. OF the
aboriginals, included in neither of these
classes, there are 2,351 900. 1t is stated
that the Mohammedans, with their
armies of missionaries, their theory
that all faithful races are equal before
God, and their prastics of raising any
convert at once to full social equality,
are becoming so numerous that by the
year 1900 they will be half the popula-
ton, and ultimately will control the
religious destiny of Bengal.

Farm Life.

The glory of the farmer is that in the
division of labor it is his part to create.
All the trades rest at last on his prim-
tive authority. He stands close to ma
ture he obtains from the earth the
bread and the fsod, which was not, he
causes to be. The first farmer was the
first man, and all historic nobility rests
on the possession and use of land. Men
do not like hard work, but every man
has an exceptional respect for tillage,
and feels that this is the original call
ing of his race, that he himself is only
excused from it by some circumstance
which made him delegate it for time
to other hands. If he had not some
skill which recommends him to the
farmer, some product for which
the farmer gives corn, he must
himself return into his due place
among the planters. And the profess
zion has in all eyes its ancient charms,
as standing nearest to God, the first
cause. Then the beauty of nature, the
tranquility and innocence of the coun-
try, his independence and pleasing
airs, the care of bees, poultry, sheep,
hogs, the dairy, the care of hay, of
fruits, of orchards and forests, and the
reaction of the workingman in giving
him strength and plain dignity, like the
face and manner of nature-all men
acknowledge. All men keep the farm
in reserve as an asylum, in case of
mischance, to hide their poverty, or as
q solitude in case they do not succeed
in society. And who knows how many
glances of remorse are turned this way
from the bankrupts of trade, mortified
pleaders in courts or senates, or from
the victims of idleness and pleasure.

IDGWAY, COUNTY, PA, THURSDAY, JANUARY Is, 1874.
An Aged Horse.

remarkable old horse called Charlie,
the property of Mr.. Dexter E. Wadleigh
of Boston, died recently at the age of
twenty-five. He was never sick except
during the epizootic of 1872. Probably
no horse was ever more attached to his
master or more anxious to do his bid
ding than Charlie. He has travelled
seventy miles in one day without ex-
hibiting fatigue, and was as fresh as
ever for the next days work. During
one year his owner drove him over
three thousand miles. When pur.
chased Charlie was inclined to be q
balky. and would stop suddenly but
his master never struck him with a
whip, choc sing rather to conquer him
by kindness, in which he was success
full. He was usually driven in chaise;
and when these contrary notions would
seize him his master would turn him in
large circle, working patiently and
kindly with him for few moments,
when he would be call right" By
this method Mr.. Wadleigh soon sue
ceeded in breaking him of the habit
entirely. During the twenty-five years
he never struck the horse blow that
he would be unwilling to receive upon
his own back. Charlie was so familiar
with his masters step that he would
always turn toward him as he approach
ed, and greet him with an affectionate
whinny. He was never afraid of cars
or anything else, day or night, and
would stand without tying for hours.
While on the road if anything happened
to carriage or harness he would always
stop to remind his master that some-
thing was wrong. For several months
he was driven without breeching, hold
ing back the chaise on descending
ground by the cross-bar.

OId-Time Customs.

The Bangor (Me.) Wig says that a
recent visitor to the French settlement
in Nol th-eastern Maine visited woman
ninety-seven years old and entirely
blind. He found her sitting in her
rocking chair, very buslly engaged in
picking to pieces a piece of old yarn
with large needle. Beside her lay q
small quantity of hair that had been
carded from the cattle, and small
amount of wool. Her daughter sat
spinning this composition into yarn to
be knit into fine socks, as they say.
The method of preparing this stock
for the wheel is rather amusing. After
picking to pieces old yarn and wooden
cloth, it is mixed with enough good
wool to "galvanize it. Then it is
put in an old-fashioned dash churn,
soap and water applied, and churned
until it is ready for the cards then it
goes to the wheel-the same that was
used by grandmothers of old for spin
ming flax. The women of Upper
Aroostook are very industrious and
great helpmeets, as many times they
can be seen at work in the field, plant
ing, hoeing, baying, harvesting, and
as general thing they manufacture
their wool into cloth, sacks, and nit
tens. Many whole families are clothed
in wool of their own manufacture.
Many card wool by hand, spin with the
old fax wheel, and weave with the old
loom that has been in use for hundreds

Honey from Ants,

Henry Edwards, in the american
Naturalist, gives au interesting account
of the honey-making ant of New Mex
leo. 1t appears that the communities
consist of three distinct kinds of ants
the guards, the nurses or feeders, and
the honey-makers. The site of q nest
is usually in sandy soil, and from four
to five feet square. The surface of the
ground is not disturbed, and if it were
not for the presence of the ants the po-
sition of the nest would not be suspect
ed. The black workers surround the
nest as guards or sentinels, and are al
ways in a state of great activity. They
form two lines of defence, moving diff
ferent ways, their march always being
along three sides of a square, one col
umn moving from the southeast to the
southwest corner of the fortitication,
while the other proceeds in the opposite
direction. In most of the nests exam
ined, the eastern, western and southern
side was left tundefended. Ii any enemy
approached the line, he was at once
ferociously attacked. A portion of the
soldiers bought flowers and aromatic
leaves and deposited them in the centre
of the square, whence they were taken
by the nurses and carried into the nest.
The honey-makers never leave their
cells, their abdomen being too much
swollen by the honey they contain. 1t
is supposed, but has not been proved,
that all the ants use the honey as food.

EnOch Arden Improved.

A Hartford paper is responsible for
the following story, which concerns
persons said to reside at the present
time in the town of Cheshire
"Some twenty-five years ago young
gentleman and lady of families of high
standing were united in the holy bonds
of matrimony. The birth of son in
due time blessed their union, and yet
the father was not happy. From no
domestic unpleastness, however, nor
from any lack of earthly blessings, as
far as can be ascertained, but apparently
husband suddenly annouced his in
tention of going abroad. He parted
from his wife affectionately, with the
understanding that he should spend
but single season abroad. He sailed,
however, without leaving word as to
his destination. Years past by without
news from the absent one, and the
mourning wife at last, with the advice
of friends, decided that she was n
widow, and, in accordance with the
manner of nearly all pretty young
widows, took unto herself another
father to her son. A year or two after
her second marriage sailor, who had
known both parties, happened in one of
his voyages to stop at Melbourne, in
Australia. Walking the principal
streets of the city one day he met q
person whom he recognized as the sup
posed dead husband. Greeting him,
he was recognized in turn. In the
mutual interchange of information he
let drop the announcement that the
wife, supposing him dead, had re-
married. And here, contrary to the
poetic idea of what is the proper thing
for q husband to do in such case, this
one gave no indication of being shocked
or grieved in any way, but quitely re-
marked that the news afforded relief, as
he had himself been for some time de.
sirous of entering into connection
which, until then, his conscientious
scruples had prevented him from doing.
The fact that his wife had remarked,
he felt, removed all the obligations of a
husband. The sailor in course of time
returned home and told his story, but
it was universally disbelieved and treat
ed as cdnard. Facts afterwards
transpired, however, which afforded the
fullest proof of its truth. Two or three
years since the missing husband re-
turned to this country, and brought
with him n new wife and couple of
children. No local action for divorce
has been taken by either party, and the
husband, having returned to his pater-
nal estate, both, with their respective
families, now reside in the same village
and mingie in the same society,""
