Fireless Locomotives.

length. From the centre to the outskirts

there the mule is taken from the car, and
the little fireless locomotive is attached,
which is accomplished in less time than
would be occupied in attaching another
mule. The train is then off like rocket,

speed is admissible. The locomotive is
simply a cylinder of boiler iron, perhaps
three feet in diameter and ten feet long,

The Little Maid Of Arcade.

BY W. 8. GILBERT.
Little maid Of Arcadee
Sat on cousin Roberts knee;
Thought in face, and form, and limt
Nobody could equal him.
He was rich. and she was fair;
Truth, they made pretty pai:.
Happy little maiden she!
Happy maid Of Arcadee!
Moments sped, as moments will.
Rapidly enough; until
After, say, month or two,
Robin did as Robins dc,-
Fickle as the month of May,
Tilted her, and ran away,
Wrctched little maiden she!
Dolcful maid Of Arcaiee!
To her little home she crept;
There she sat her down and wept:
Maiden wept, as maldens will,
Grew so thin, and pale, and Ill,
Till another came to woo,-
Then again the roses grew.
Happy little maiden she!
Happy maid of Arcadee!

A Good Omen, Indeed.

We note an encouraging sign in the po-
litical world. Educated men are talking
politics more than they did. We are hear.
ing more of the scientific government
less of party-moro Of underlying princi.
pies. This is good omen. We begin to
feel the need of nicer sense OF political
honor, and of better understanding OF
the science Of government. As soon as
the want is felt, the supply is at hand.
Thinkers have been long waiting for q
hearing, and this year we begin to heal
political questions discussed upon high
er plane than for long time before
Compare the oratlons of Curtise, Dana,
Gen. Deyens, DR.. Peabody, DIR. Woolsey,
Gov. Chamberlain, DR.. Clarke, Charles
Francis Adams and others in New Eng
land, this summer, with the political har
angues to which we are accustomed, and
see the difference in tone. Party claims
Go not appear at all. Our attention is re
called to principles of government, and
we begin to learn anew the character OF
the compact under which We have been
living. The study of political economy,
q sealed book to average Congressmen ol
the last twenty years, begins to command
attention, and we are taught that there
can be no prosperity without safe and
strong foundation, no profit at the ex
pensc of national honor. Let us welcome
trained minds to the fields of political
discussion and give the quacks and "shys
ters' oack seats.-[Boston Herald.

A Brave Girl

The plucky girl resides near Sandusky
Ohio. She IS about eighteen years of age,
and her fathers name is Bose. One after
noon recently, when she was alone in the
house, her father and mother being in
town and her two brothers at work in the
field, Miss Boise went to the barn to
gather eggs. While there she saw a rough
looking man approaching the house, and
instinctively arrived at the conclusion
tha: he BODIED no good. She stared for the
house, and fortunately reached it before
the man, when she improved the moment
that remained by getting adouble- barreled

door. syShe man knocked ana Miss Boise

Then she told him TO turn about and star

Observe the citizens of Zurich, Switzer

the age Of sixty; while members of one
italian family living in their midst since
the sixteenth century, reach the age OF
eighty or ninety.
Comparing nationalities, the Welsh are
the longest-liyed people in Europe. The
Scotch are longer lived than the English,
and the Irish shorter lived, yet they are
all healthy as people.
On the other hand, some who do moi
have robust health, are noted to live long.
It is said that they attain ole age because
they take such excellent care of them
selves. Yet, though it is not denied thai
the care is useful, it will be usually fount
that they had at least one probably long

THE ARGUS joins in that request, The
stand is kept by Frank Lawson, misera-

ladies when passing, and whose vulgar,

have appeared in THE ARGUS. They
leave the matter with Guyer, the county
judge. or with Cook, the clerk, and. in the
absence of any directions, they give them
