rArrSr CoUrLING.-Nr. Reese
Titus, a machinist at the c. " . r
L. Shops, has invented a coupling
for burthen cars which seems to be
OF great value and will be likely to
come into general use. There is 10
pin. but q kind of hook inside the
socket, where the link goes, which
is selfac;ing. and when the come
together, it catches the LUX BY an
ingenious arrangement, the harder
the strain on the link, the tighter It
is held, so that there is no possibility
of lis breaking loose except by break
mg the hook. The link is disensa-
goj and mcoupled hy simply tJach
ING a short lever. The arrangement
shows great deal of ingenuity and
being made by practical mechanic,
and a Railroad man, will be likely TO
prove ot Waite.

the low water, the freight continues
to CONS by barges Tor the road, and
keeps the hands at the depot Busy
The wafer is t0w about as low rs IL
usually gets, and the Iigh: rains we
had last week, although not likely to
raise it, will prevent its getting much
lower.
The receipts of the road during the
month of August were over 1888, 600,
being at the rate of over 81, 900, 900
per year, about 10 per cent Of which
is nett. This amount of business on
a road with no through connections
is convincing proof of its value, and
that, with proper connections. it would
control large amount of the through
shipments between the West and the
East.
The Elevator is progressing rapid
", and when done, will be Of great
advantage. The transhipment of
grain here will, it is likely, be a
permanent arrangement, as water
transportation in bulk is more eco
nomical than any other.

come hardened from going on all fours with the
wolves. In November, 1850, Capt Nicholetts
ordered this boy to be sent to Col. Sleeman, but
he got alarmed and ran to jungle.
The same applies to third case, vouched for
by the Rajah of Hasunpoor, which adds, how
ever, nothing essential, except that the boy, as
seen by him in 1S43, had actually short hair
all over bis body, which disappeared when he
took to eating salt He could walk on his legs,
but he could not speak. He could be made to
understand signs very well, but would utter
sounds like wild animals.
Another, a fourth case, however, is vouched
for again by European witnesses. Col. Gray,
who commanded the First Dude Local Infantry
at sultanpoor, and Mrs. Gray, and all the off
GERS of the place, saw boy, who, in 1S43, had
been caught while trott'ng along upon all fours
by the side of wolf. He could never be made
to speak, and at last ran away into the jungle.
fifth case rests on the evidence Of a re-
spectacle landholder of Bankeepoor, in the
estate of Hasunpoor (called zooltukar Khan.)
Here, too, the boy, who had been six years old
when carried of, and was ten when rescued,
could not be brought to speak, though it was
easy to communicate with hin By signs.
There are other cases, but those which have
selected ars to nay Iiinu Sae- best attssTtu.--
They all share one feature in common, which
is of Importance to the student Of language
more even than to the student of mythology
viz, the speechlessness Of these wolf children
It was this fact more than the bearing Of these
stories on problem of mythology, which first
made me collect the evidence here produced

breakfast hour, | saw lounging against the
clerks desk trim, well dressed old young an.
His hat was off, and amid the locks of curling
black hair that lay heavily massed over a
square and high forehead, threads of grey
showed themselves. His eyes were heavy
Their lids were Redeemed by that peculiar dull
crimson color that is produced by long and in
tense application over the writing or reading
desk, but from beneath their long lashes there
shone out genial light that betokens fund
Of quaint and dry huinor. As he stood there
uonchalantly, talking to a friend, he ran, now
aad then, his hand through his hair, as though
the head beneath needed caressing, or as though
some fitting ache warned him that he had a
BRAIN and that it had been overtaxed. l look
ell carefully at the face. The features were all
regular and we'll modelled. The nose carefully
even finely cut. Checks not so high, and still
retaining the remnants of the bronze that the
summer had put there. The mouth, kindly in
expression, delcately Tipped and mobile-a
mouth made for smiles and for smile producing.
The moustache heavy enough to shade the lip
and drop gracefully over the rounded chin be-
low. The chin deeply pitted by the cruel marks
Of smallpox, but still so smoothed by the hand
of time that careful inspection only detected
the defect. The eyes of that delicate blue-gray
81 expressive of pathos, so tender that they
seemed to look straight out from the tender
heart beneath them"
