What Might Have Happened.

Through the courtesy of one of our
subscribers we are enabled to give the
following account of thrilling occur
renee on the line of the Marquette,
Houghton & Ontonagon Railroad, in the
copper-mining region at the head of
Lake Superior The letter was written
by young man well known here, for
merly in the employ of the New York
Central Railroad in this city:
" ONToNAGoN, Dec. 16, 1874.
"DEAR -: There is nothing new
to write regarding business. All branches
are dull, with no prospect of improve
ment before spring. But the principal
reason for my writing was to tell you
what happened to Johnny K. (He
used to run on the Central, you re-
member.) He was pushing one of our
big, heavy snOw-plOws over the road
with a siXty-ton engine, such as we have
to use here on account of the heavy
grades, and had just started down a very
long and heavy grade near Michigamee.'
You know how they have to run. Well,
John had just let her out for what she
was worth, when, on turning a short
curve, NC SAW, dUOuG d QudIlCt VI Il ullI6
ahead, four-hOrse team hitched to a
sleigh that was caught in the track some
how. The men in charge seemingly made
frantic efforts to get the sleigh loose, but
at last gave it up, and, to JOhnny's sur
prise, they all ran off as hard as they
could go across the fields.
Jack threw her over as soon as they
came in sight, bnt the old thing was 60
ing too fast to allow brakes TO hold her.
Then he opened his whistle and made
her howl" At that the horses began to
get FESTIVE and scared, and at last gave a
plunge altogether that started the sleigh
just in time for the engine to Craze it
as it went blythe horses starting off on
the run, but were caught by the man in
charge. AS soon as Johnny stopped he
went to find out if any hurt had been
done, and you may guess how he felt
when he learned that the sleigh was
loaded with 800 pounds of nitro lycer-
inc, just from the magazine at Michiga-
mee-enough to start young railroad
in the moon if Jack had struck it,
Rochester Express.

A Realistic Stage Fight.

THE introduction of realistic features
upon the stage involves question of
taste over which the critics have
wrangled for long time, and in regard
to which they are likely to quarrel for
some time to come. They should con-
slider the way in which things were done
recently at Yalo (Cal.) theater, where
the entertainment may be fairly stated
to have been realistic to remarkable
degree. The theater was Chinese one
and the actors were all Celestials AS is
well known Chinese play sometimes
runs for several days ere the plot is I'M
raveled, and, as matter of course, the
interest of the audience flags at times
under a course of treatment so severe
Upon the occasion referred to in the
Yalo theater the audience was aroused
from it's listlessness by a combat be-
tween two of the performers on
the stage which appeared to be
we'll simulated. The actors were
armed with knives, and their struggles
were SO desperate and the thrusts and
cuts delivered with such apparent ear
nestness that the observers waxed en-
thusiastic and yelled and stamped their
approval of the admirable acting. Final
ly the climax was reached an she
audience, from being enthusiastic, be-
came horror stricken. A stream of blood
ran across the boards and trickled down
upon the orchestra, and one of the COM
batants fell back dead. The fight be-
tween the actors had been no mere mock
duel, but fight to the death, and there
was woman in the case. The two men
who fought were rivals for the affection
of slant-eyed daughter of the flowery
kingdom, and they had resolved to settle
the question "a ct arms. The success
which attended their efforts afforded a
spectacle of more than ordinary interest
for an audience, every man Of which got
his moneys worth, and at the same time
furnished an example of the results of
too much realism which some of the
critics should lay hold of.-St. Louis Re
publican.

A Wicked Joke.

PRACTICAL jokes are cruel and often
wicked. The New York NAL tells of an
American student in Munich who in q
drunken freak made poor cripple bank
rupt and insane:
Six years ago drunken American stu
dent ordered five or six hundred dollars
worth of toys from a poor cripple in
Munich. They were to be highly fin
ished, and to be ready one week beforS
Christmas. The cripple, overjoyed at
such large order, borrowed money with
which to purchase materials, and worked
day and night to have the toys ready at
the appointed time. Christmas came,
and the student failed to call or send for
the goods he had ordered. " eeks an(
weeks passed and the toys were nOl
claimed, and the cripple had neither
name nor address to start inquiries. The
Borrowed money he was Unable TO re
turn, and the matter so preyed upon his
mind, toqether with the disappointment,
loss of time and materials Qor the toys
were not of q kind to edify children and
could not be soId), that he became in
sane and is now an idiot This little tale
we extract from a private letter, the
writer of which asserts that the man who
gave the order is living in one of our own
cities, and is wealthy.

The RothsehiId Women.

THE Jeaoish Messenger says: 1--WE take
pleasure in referring to the merits of the
Rothschild family, not because they are
wealthy, but for the simple reason that
in spite of their wealth they strive to be
useful to their kind The men are i'm
mersed in business; they are charitable,
but the people win say that it is easy to
be charitable if you are rich The wom-
en- are publicspirited, intelligent and
warm hearted, founding hospitals, re-
formatories, children's homes, endowing
scholastic institutions, encouraging strug-
Cling professionals and taking personal
interest in the doings of the poor. Baron
ess Lional makes weekly visits in the
meanest portions Of London, frightening
the home of the Jewish artisan, giving
her good counsel to the earnest teachers
of the free schools, the matrons and as
sistants of the various charities. The
daughter of Alphonse, of Paris, teaches a
good lesson to her sisters in faith, and to
rich young ladies of every creed, by re.
ceiving well-deserved diploma as teach
er. Anselm's daughter, in Vienna, is
prominent in music, not only composing
songs that attain popularity, but aiding
struggling musicians by pen and purse"

Rewarding Brave Men.

THE New York World says: GA gal
liant deed has just been fifty honored by
the War Department, which has present
ed medals to Sergt. Woodruff, Privates
Harrington and Roth, and Scouts Chap
man and Dixon, Of Gen. Miles command.
The six men were surprised by 100
Indians, who poured a volley upon them,
stampeding their horses and wounding
every one of their number, one fatally.
Digging a shallow trench with their
knives in the sandy soil they held their
savage assailants at bay till nighttime,
when the latter withdrew, carrying off
some fifteen of their number killed. Sew
eral times the soldiers had to use their
revOlvers to repel the charges Of their
foes, always reserving one cartridge for
the purpose of suicide should they be
overpowered. The dying man, though
unable to handle arifie, propped himself
upright in the trench lest the knowledge
of his being disabled should encourage
the Indians. The long fight, too, was
made under chilling rain; that, how
ever, furnished them with water, though
they drank mingled with it their own
blood. Food they had none. So gal
liant and chivalrous a resistance merited
nothing less than the high praise of Gen.
Miles in his dispatches and the recog-
milton of the War Department just

which he has characterized the White Leagues.

The case of Louisiana had been heretofore
urged upon the attention of Congress, and he
thought its lnaction had encouraged the evil con-

act upon the Judgment of their commanding
officers upon each sudden contingency that arose,

The President says that upon his recognition

Keep the Pump from Freezinu.

ONE or two nights recently Jack Frost
gently hunted that we ought to be ready
fer him when he comes in earnest. On
going to the pump in the morning |
found the water frozen inside so that it
required quite an effort to break the ice.
But l am ready for him and I want to
tell the readers of the Farmer bow l
managed it.
At home on my fathers farm we had
no wells or pumps-good springa being
abundant. Hence it is L got caught the
first winter after | had married and
moved on to farm of my own. was
not used to freezing pumps, and so one
bitter cold morning / found both pumps
the one at the house and the barn
pump-locked tight. will not describe
the annoyance that followed-every
farmer who has pump has had some
experience of the kind at some period
of his life.
1t took three days to thaw those
pumps out, and was compelled TO take
my stock to neighbours, half mile
away, to water them, and also had to OBJ
tain water at the same place for house
hold use. never get caught the second
time on the same trick. As soon as the
pumps were. clear of ice l procured two
good brass faucets, and boring holes in
the pumps, five feet below the platform.
7 inserted the faucets in them securely
l then procured narrow strip Of board
of sufficient length, and bored hole in
one end large enough to slip over the
handle of the faucet. With this l could
turn the handle easily, either way; and
[ have never had any trouble since.
Some have plug simply, within
reach of the hand, below the platform
but this is insufficient in the coolest
weather, besides being incenvenient.
The faucets are better every way. Care
must be taken to provide enough water
before turning it off to start the pump in
the morning.
l use these faucets also in warm
weather, when the pumps have been
standing undisturbed in the hot sun hal
day. The water above the platform is
then unfit for use, but it is usually
pumped into the trough for the tired,
thirsty horses, when the owner knows
that a sip of it would be as good as an
emetic for himself.-COr. Ohio Farmer

A Bareback Rider.
publican.

Caleb Harris, of Hudson, Mich, bears
daring and romantic feat of bareback
riding. He left Buffalo on the 7th inst,
with two car loads of COWS, purchased
near Hudson, and destined for the fine
dairy farms Of Madison County, in this
State. In the early part Of the evening
the long stock train stopped at Fairport,
as Mr.. Harris supposed, for supper, and
he embraced the opportunity to look
after the welfare of his stock, which was
in the forward end of the train. Finding
all in good order he was about returning
to the rear of the train when unexpect-
edly the train started, and SO rapidly
that he deemed it hazardous to attempt
to get on the caboose when it should
reach him. Resolved not to be left he
mounted the train at the risk of life and
limb and commenced walking back to
the caboose, when he fell and came near
sliding off to the ground. He now re-
solved to make virtue of necessity and
ride to the next station con deck"
After Drawing the storm and cold and
wind few moments he feared he might
freeze to death in that exposed position,
and, finding a trap-door on the deck of
the sheep car on which he stood,
he decided to go below" and seek
more comfortable quarters among his
woody fellow-travelers. Here he was
foiled again, for the door, firmly fastened
with ice or iron, refused to yield to his
attempts to force it open. The only re-
naming chance was to turn in" with
his horned passengers snugly slowed away
with" every sitting taken" as it seemed to
any observer. 1t was short, quick work
The scuttle was lifted and he alighted on
the back Of frisky young Durham. She
objected to his rude intrusion in her
quiet coach and commenced to kick.
She squirmed and twisted and fdgeted
till, finding all her efforts futile, she be-
gan to :" below 1t was no use. The
frightened animal was in a tight place
and our hero was master of the situation
and fully determined to hold out and to
hold on. Time seemed long, but on
Numbered the train. At length they ar
rived in Syracuse, where our friend
found a release from his cattle-car
" Pullman" to the joy NJ less of his
companions in the caboose than of him
self, and congratulates himself as the
champion bareback rider of the world,
having ridden fifty miles in three hours
on the unsaddled back of cow.-ROch-
ester ~. - Democrat.
