THE TOMBSTONE AGE,.T.

Gibbs l. tombstone agent lie finds IT
TO his advantage 10 work upon the feelings
F., IN many sale. The other day he happened
! to be in a strange section, aud was sent to
call upon a Mrs. Brown. who had lately lost
her husband. He introduced himself, and
was invited to sit down: he spoke of the
weather, and then getting around to business,
said, rather tenderly, $50 you have lost your
husband? p She wert. and said that it had
that resemblance. lie Said he sympathizod
with her in the hour of her affliction: that
the hest OF Friends were doomed 10 part, and
but few knew any more whose turn would
be next.
lie had not the honor OF being acquainted
with Mr.. Brown, but he had heard him
spoken of all over the country in the highest
terms of praise (this was his usual style
whether he had or not) everybody con-
siiered him an honorable man and ara affee-
tionate husband. and they mourned his loss
with the most tender affection, and lac de-
served fitting memory; and a. il was the
last sad rite she could DO, he begged her to
look over some excellent monumental designs
in Italian and American marble, which he
was prepared to sell at the lowest terms.
Said she. "Lookee here, mister You said
he was an honorable man and aff.etionate
husband, when You know you lie: he wasn't
no such thing. Its true Eve lost him, but
he amt dead; he amt the kind that dies.

Traits or Animals.

Dogs certainly feel shame when detected
in wrong doing. The faculty of imitation
is present in monkeys. Parrots also repro
duce with wonderful fidelity the tones of
voice of different speakers, and puppies
reared by cats have been known to lick their
feet and wash their faces after the same
manner as their foster-motherS. Attention
and memory, also, are present In the lower
animals, and it is impossible to deny that
the dreams of dogs and horses show the
presence of imagination. Animals also
profit by experience, as any man realizes
who sets traps. The young are much more
easily caught than the old, and the adults
gain caution by seeing the fite of those
which are caught. Tools are also used by
some of the higher apes The chimpanzee
uses a stone to crack a nut resembling a
walnut, and the Abyssian baboons fight
troops of other species, and roll down stones
in the attack before they finally close in
a hand-to-hand encounter. The idea of pro-
perty is Common also TO every dog with a
bone, to all birds with their nests, and
notably in the case OF rocks Nor can cer-
tain kind of language be denied to the brutes
The dog communicates his feelings by barks
OF d ferent tones, which undoubtedly raise
in his iellow-dogs ideas similar to those pas
sing in his own mind

A EOx ON THE EATS.

The case Of pupil teacher who has been
charged with causing the death OF boy
through sifing him bow on the side of Ia.
head, is one which has excited a considerable
amount of interest. We draw attention to
the case with no idea of moralizing either on
the necessity for corporal punishment or on
its effect, or on the tendencies of boys to be
tyrannical, or on the importance of keeping
all corporal punishment in the hands of the
head teacher Our desire simply is to con-
vey a warning as to the possible-we may
say prnbable-efTect of "a box on the cars
Many people, otherwise humane, appear to
imagine that a box on the ears i a light
punishment, specially adapted to the con-
struction of young children. They also
appear to think-at least they act aS If they
thought-that the projection of the outer-earS
suggests ear-pulling n modified form of
punishment. The same pers. ms who will
strike children violent blows on the head
with the hand. open or closed. would think
twice before they struck with a cane or a
pointer the 6htStretched hand Of a child:
and they might possibly object h a sound

fashion. But. OF the three modes af puni~h-
ment, the blow on the head i infinitely the

pulling. as practiced. We are certain that
much of the cruelty perpetrated in this way

VIII people never take warning from the

kerosene, hastily used as fuel, died under
very sad circumstances. At a bridal party,
the bride, going to her chamber, discovered
that the fire in the stove had died out; and
in her haste 10 get back to her company she
thoughtleSsly picked up can of kerosene
and poured some of the oil upon the fire.
Instantly the fire communicated to her gos-
samer dress, and in a second she was com
pletely envelopei in the flames. She rushed
out, but could not get free from the embrace
of death. Her screams completely paralszed
the company. They sat still an instant.
then all rushed down into the yard. Her
husband was first, and s,,un threw his coat
around her, and then bianket was added,

American Enterprise.

Recovering from the recent panic and
stagnation, railroad enterprise is beginning
to develop itself of late IN all departments,
and In hone more definitely and vigorously
than in that of trestle=work, or the tempo-
rary bridging of ravines. &c, by iron or
woodwork, generally the latter Trestle-
work is more used in this country than in
Europe, and consequently has been brought
TO a higher degree Of perfection. Pine,
white or yellow, is the wood most in vogue,
and labor, skill, enterprise, and capital are
abundantly devoted to this branch of rail-
road engineering
The three most notable examples of tres
tle-work in this country are on the Erie
Railroad, near Portage the trestle-bridge
at East Tarrytown, n. Y, on the route of
the important and rapidly progressing New
York, Boston, and Montreal Railroad. and
the well-known treStle-bridge of the Fourth
avenue Improvement, upper section.
UT these, the last mentioned is the longest.
while that at East Tarrytown is the highest,
with one exception, in the United States.
The trestle on the Fourth avenue was erect
ed by Mclntire Bros. That at East Tarry-
town by James McIntire, the senior member
of the firm, who is confessedly at the head
of ttestle work in the United States.
This enterprising contractor has also un
dertaken to build bridge over Croton Lake.
and is engaged in various other enterprises
of magnitude in the line Of trestle work,
which promises to become, which in fact
has become already, Lending feature of
railroad engineering in the United States.
