Remarkable Railroad Accident.

On the Detroit 81 Bay City Railroad on
Thursday night last an accident occurred
which eclipses anything on record in the
annals of railrOading. The accident oc-
Cured to the south bound night express.
1t appears that when the train was in the
vicinity of Oxford Conductor Noyes felt
slight but sudden shock, and heard the
bellrope snap He sprang to the brake,
and after setting it swung his lamp for
the engine to stop. The train went a dis
tance of four or five car-lengths before
being halted, but when it came to a
standstill everything was found to be all
right, excepting that one Blue Line car
just ahead of the passenger coach was
missing. A search was instituted and
the missing car was found in the ditch
in the rear of the train. From the posi-
ton of things it appeared that the front
end of the car had jumped the track,
severing the connection with the Car
ahead as it did SO. The combined force
of the cars in the rear as they came down
ON to the "off" ear served to end it
around until finally the rear draw-bar
twisted it off (the night was very frosty,
and the Car was free. The coaches
kept pushing it further and further, un-
til finally the Blue Line had been
sent entirely from the track, and at
right angles with it, clearing the rail
by fully. three feet. The rear coaches
rolled on past the ditched car as if moth
ing had happened, and stopped without
accident or without the knowledge of the
passengers several car-lengths beyond.
The engine stopped and backed up, con-
nectiOns were made, the track men were
sent for to gauge the rails, and the train,
one car hort, proceeded on it's way, max
ing it's meeting point at the next station,
where the particulars of the accident
were stated and the remarkable affair
duly discussed with the attaches of the
north bouss#s tEain, which was met at that
point.
Such an accident has never before been
placed on record, and the Detroit 81 Bay
City is thus, as in all things else, entitled
10 the broom. Whenever Car gets off
the track the road is generally blocked
up for hours, and usually some damage
is done; but in this instance there was
no delay, no damage was done to other
cars in the train, and withal none of the
passengers on board knew that anything
unusual had occurred. Of course the
happy results were in a measure due to
good luck, but the presence of mind OF.
the conductor contributed largely.-BGy

them and most ignoble death. But in
the whirling of all those bright colors
and the evolutions of those splendidly-
costumed men there was method at this "
stage. The animal had to be driven into
and kept within certain limits, and after
while confined to plunging from one TO
another. The bull.killer kept close bv
his side, watching his opportunity, and
calculating with nicely worthy better
cause the motions of his victim, knowing
when mad plunge would come, and
with his cane at the end of his sword he
met it. with an incomparably graceful
spring. Thus the brute without a soul
and the brute with a soul met face to
face III the almost equal contest for life
Quick as lightning the long, cleaning
sword was thrust behind the shoulder
blade, that it might find the heart. Often
the hrst thrust is not successful and the
tortured creature, bounding and writhing
with agony, loosens the sword and it
falls out, when the chase has to CON-
mence again. Sometimes, it is said, he
dashes near the box cf some brave (?l
senofita, and she reaches out her tawny
hand blazing with diamonds, and plunges
deeper into the wound the7 cold steel.
Our matadore, being successful, buried
the sword to the hilt in the animals body,
when he soon staggered and fell with a
heavy thud, while his tormentors circled
around him, waving their brilliant capes
in exultation. The bands struck up
triumphant strains, accompanied by the
tumultuous acclamations of thousands
of spectators and the firing of rockets.
-Four horses then were hurried into the
arena drawing pair of low wheels, to
which the dead bull was attached, and
urged on at full speed by the lash they
dashed out through gateway. This last
act seemed The very climax of cruelty,
yet was an appropriate inspiration for
the next scene. On the afternoon in
question eight bulls were slaughtered.

A Singular Dream.

PSYCHOLOGICAL wonders being the Or
der of the day, q somewhat remarkable
dream which visited one of our citizens,
Mr.. William Peasley, the other night,
will be appropriate reading. 1t seems
that, just before retiring for the night,
Mr. Peasley's attention was attracted to
his cat. which marched in the house with
the side of her head all battered and
bleeding, as if she had narrowly escaped
premature death at the hands of a
sausage-maker, or been in serenading
matinee where the belligerent tendencies
of the participants overpowered their
love for music. Mr.. p, however, did
not borrow any unnecessary trouble on
behalf of the CORY feline and retired
with a clear conscience and the hope of
slumbers undisturbed. But the god of
dreams soon had possession of his senses,
and in fancy he saw one Of his horses ly-
ing on the floor in it's stall, having appar-
emily thrown ITSELF with its forelegs fast
ened under partition, endeavoring In
vain to free itself and seeming in great
distress. The dreamer now saw the Cat
enter the stall and pass nearth9 horse,
which administered it a violent kick on
the side of the head, covering it with
| blood.
Mr.. Peasley awoke after this dream
with such vivid impression of it on his
mind that it seemed almost a reality. He
endeavored to Danish it from his thoughts
and turned over for another snooze, but
| found himself so nervous and uneasy
that he courted sleep in vain. Just tc
satisfy an almost irresistible curiosity
and set his mind at rest, he at last con
cluded to visit the stable where his horse
was kept. He accordingly arose, dressed
himself, and went to the stall, when he
found the animal in exactly the situation
pictured in his dream, its leg being tight
| ly wedged in under the partition and the
horse having badly injured itself in its
| strenuous exertions to exfricate it's limbs
Mr. Peasley soon succeeded in freeing il
and getting it on its feet, else its strug
/ giles might have ended in death.-Musca

Powers Mechanical Work.

In an article on the sculptor Powers,
in LippSncott's Magazine, Mr.. Trollope
says:
The practice of the greatest sculptors
as regards the degree in which it has
seemed desirable to take part in that me-
chanical portion of the business of pro-
ducing statue which consists in the
manipulation of the marble has always
been very different. Some have sub
jected the marble to the touching of their
own hands more, some less. The work
of reproducing copy of the clay model
in marble is purely mechanical one,
and may or may not be in the artists
judgment best brought to perfection py
the labor of their own hands. 1t VIII
readily be believed, however, from Wnat
has been already said of the tendencies
of Powers talent and idiosyncrasy that
he he was wa ! among those who have con-
tributed most OF their personal labor to
the perfecting of their works. Powers

The Kansas Farmer gives the ex-
perience of good farmer who had tried
feeding hogs on wheat as well as corn.
He said when wheat was cheap he
found it profitable to feed his hogs on it.
He took loo hogs and put fifty in pens
and fed corn, and fifty and fed wheat,
with the following result: The fifty
with corn made eleven pounds per
bushel, the fifty with wheat made seven
teen pounds of good solid pork per
bushel of wheat. The wheat was
ground like meal. boiling water poured
over it, and then let stand forty-two
hours.
