THE west bound Chicago Express

behind time about three hours, on Fri
day, met the evening east bound pass
enger train at Burr's Mills. In an at
tempt to switch the Express train at
that point the engine took the switch
and the tender kept the main track.
The engine ran off on one side of the
track. The tender was thrown across
the main track, and two oyster cars and
the Express car were wrecked upon it
and smashed up generally. Fortunate

The stranCe Disease.

LIKE the thief at night, it steals In upon
us unawares. The patients have pains
about the chest and sides, and. sometimes in
the back. They feel duh and sleepy; the
mouth has bad taste, especially IN the
morning. A sort of sticky slime collects
about the teeth. The appetite Is poor
There is feeling like q heavy load on the
stomach, sometimes a faint, all-gone sensa-
ton at the pit of the stomach, which food
does not satisfy. The eyes are sunken, the
hands and feet become cold and feel clam
my After awhile cough sets In, at first
dry, but after few months 1t is attended
with grecnish-colored expectoration. The
patient feels tired all the while, and sleep
does not appear to afford any rest. After q
time he becomes nervous, irritable and
gloomy, and has evil forebodings. There is
a giddiness, sort of whirling sensation in
the head when rising up suddenly. The
bowels become costiye, the skin is dry and
hot at times. The blood becomes thick and
stagnant, the whites of the eyes become
tinged with yellow, the urine is scanty and
high-eolored, depositing sediment after
standing. There is frequently q splitting up
of the food, sometimes with q sour taste
and sometimes swedish taste. This is

An Encounter with a Wild Cat.

rs4hsEW
A Nevada paper relates the following
civilian Lyelf, raHcher living neal
HuAakerls, in Washoe County, had con
siderable Ola tussle with o wild cat last
Saturday morning. He was out hunt
ing with couplegof his dogs; when
near the lower end of bis ranch the dogs
scared up the cat, which, being pressed
hard, turned and stood suddenly at bay.
One of the dogs,a shepherd, Bounced in
to it at once, which action. the 'varmint'
was waiting for, as She soon had him
down and awas biting him sayagely.
The other dog attaeking it from the
fensive. At thissjuHcture the cat man.
aged to disenga &c herself, and made a
rush for Mr.. Lyel, who, had, been una
BILE to get shot in for fear Of Killing
his dogs. He received her with THE
but end of his gun, breaking it over her ;
but she, nothing daunted, evinced such
strong determination TO force the bat
tie, that he was glad to leave the gun
barrels in her Possession, Rallying his
dogs for another onset, and grasping
the stock of-his gun, his sole weapon,
he boldly advanced to where stood the
cat, with cleaning eyes, seeminly emit
ting flashes of fire, her tail waving i'm
patiently in the air, as if in defiance to
him. Quick as a flash the feline sprang
at our hero, who, with intrepid courage,
calmly awaited the coming event, and
met her withsa web directed blow from
his GUN barrel, which he had managed
to regain, laying her dead at his feet.
The cat, on being taken to the ranch,
was found to weigh thirty-three pounds,
and measured three feet four inches

Children in Factories.

An eminent Englishman of science re-
ports, after careful investigation, that
the physical stamina of the children en-
ployed in factories is steadily deteriorat-
ing. The number of thesewho are unit
to work on full time is increasing. This
is attributed less to the hard labor these
poor little creatures have to undergo
than to the wretehed habits of the facto-
~ operatives. Too early marriages,
sloyenliness, intemperance, want of
proper open air exercise and the Excess
sive use Of tobacco are noted as main
causes of the deterioration. Whatever
the causes, the fact is an alarming one.
1t is a serious question whether children
should be allowed to engage in exhaust
ing factory labor at all-whether the de-
votion to this hard work from an early
period is not in itself prominent cause
of the bad habits observed. Buff chill
dren are to be so employed, there is no
doubt that their hours of labor should

Swallowing q Cent.

DR.. Gibbs, one of the editors of Halls
Journal of Health, who is himself an ed
ucated physician and surgeon, while on
a railroad train the other day, was con-
suited by one of the employees on the
train in relation to his little boy, who
had that morning swallowed a cent.
"What have you done for him?' asked
the doctor. 1--WE gave him dose of
castor-oil," was the reply. GOOD
practice so far; as soon as YOU reach
home give him the whites of three raw
eggs daily; LET his diet be bread and
milk, and nothing SOar.'' The direc-
tons were followed faithfully, the whites
of the eggs repeated every day, and the
dose of oil at night; and on the fourth
day the cent was discharged. 1t was
one of the new copper coins, and con-
siderably corroded by the action of the
gastric juices. Since fatal re-
suits often follow the swallowing
of copper coin, the judicious treat-
ment advised in this instance should be
I'enle inferred ,bvlall who have the care
of children. The essential points to be
borne in mind are simply these: Albu-
men, or the whites of eggs, bland diet
free from acids, and castor oil.

be limited, and further duty is cast on
the mill owners This is to so look after
the habits of their operatives that the
children may have chance of entering
upon their cherries life work with toler-
able good constitutions. In Germany
parents are not allowed to derive anv
income from the labor of their children
until they have had thoroughly good
schooling, and have grown well-ni Oh to
manhood and womanhOod; the cOnse-
quence is that Germany contains both
the healthiest and most efficient race of
laboring young men and women in the
world. The English law is as yet noto-
riously deficient in protecting the health
and condition of the children of the
manufacturing districts; and unless
more vigorous reforms are made, the
prospect is that factory labor will be-
come more weak and more scarce, while
the bill for parish relief will become a
heavy burden to the taxpayers and a
discOuragement to the philanthropiSt.

The AdulteratiOn Of Tea.

The following facts relative to the
adulteration of this indispensable article
of consumption cannot be too widely
promulgated. They are taken from a
paper entitled Observations on the
Green Teas of Commerce, byR Il. War
rington, Esq, Published in a late num-
Der of the Chemical Gazette: "On sub
hitting sample of green tea, supposed
to Re spurious, and which had been
seized by the excise, to microscopic. in
Vcstigation, the author found that the
variation of tints which had led him to
this mode of examination was dependent
on adventitiouS Substances mechanically
attached or busted on the surface Of the
leaves. The principal part of this pow
der was of a white color, interSpersed
with particles of an orange aud of a
bright blue. From the abraded dust of
this sample, obtained by agitation, some
of the latter were separated, and proved
on examination to be PrusSian-blue;
the orange portion was apparently some
vegetable color; and the white and
principal part was found to contain
silica, alumina, a little lime and mag
nesia, and was probably kaolin or
powdered agalrnatclite, more par
ticularly from the rubbed and
prominent parts of the tea as
suging a polished appearance. A great
variety of other samples of teas were
submitted to examination, but IN al
cases they were found to be faced with
various substances, to give them the,
bloom and color which is a distinct char.
acteristic OF the green teas of commerce.
The unglazed varieties appear TO have

to be of a black color, but without the

interviewing a Farmer.

Wishing to keep posted as to the con,
dition of the crops, and to ascertain the
exact amount of damage done recently
by the flood, a reporter started out on
an interviewing expedition. He was
fortunate enough to encounter farmer
at the edge of the town bringing a load
of hav into the city. Burning with en-
thuSiasm the reporter hailed him. He
halted and the following colloquy took
place: =
"How are you, friend?"
"Tired.n

Same as it always was" -
"What's that?'' En-
"Dried grass"
"What did you think of the ramp

"What did your neighbors get?"

"Nhat are you doing now.?"

may be losing a chance to sell this hay.

The reporter scrambled up to the side
of his new-made acquaintance, and as
they jolted on he again produced his
notebook and continued: ...-l

Hermann, the Magician, Assaulted BY
the Indignant. Owner OF Hat.

Last night, says the San Francisco
Ledger, the wonderful Hermann intro
duced little pugilistic novelty into his
performance, not supposed to be incor-
pOrated in the bill. When the time
came to perform the last trick, the pres
tidigitatOr~ stepped down into the audi
ence and politely negotiated the loan of
a hat. A German sitting in the orches-
ira circle politely handed the Professor
of Magic his new beaver tile. No soon
er had the sleight- performer
secured the beaver than. he fell down
upon it, as if by accidents and apparent
" smashed it all up until it looked as if
Uncle James Ladley had sat upon it.
Immediately the owner of the
hat sprang up, terribly excited,
and began to eXpostulate. ag Hermann
kept up the delusion by tearing the hat
all TO pieces and throwing it about the
stage. Here the rage of the Teuton
knew no bounds, and springing angri
ly TO his feetyh began, to cane the leg
| erdermain professor in very lively style.
Iermann, considerably excited, sprang
upon the stage, demanded that the man
who couldn't appreciate joke should
be elected. Cries Of ''Put him QUIT"
rose from all sides, and the audience
was terribly excited. Suddenly Her
mann, drawing pistol, aimed it at his
opponent. Here the widest confusion
prevailed, every body in the Vicinity
starting up from their seats and rushing
to get ont of the way. There was
flash and report, and the next instant
the startled audience saw the Germans
hat fall upon the stage-as good as ever.
Hermann took the hat, presented it to
the man who had laid the cane over his
shoulders, and it was received with con-
siderable astonishment, which was
perhaps materially increased by a
couple of smarting blows delivered rap
idly in the Germans face. The confu
sion now arose again, and the shouts of
applause drowned every thing. Her
mann put in 4 his blows, steadily, and
knocked his man, over into the next
row, from whence he scrambled over
the railing into the dress circle, and
made his. way toward the door, An
usher passed him along the aisle with a
kick, the doer2keeper whipped him as
he went OUT the man at the box office
gave him a lift, and some of Hermann's
admirers thrashed him on the side
walk. When he reached Kearny Street
his hat was indeed a wreck, and the
man went, home perfectly disguised
with Heriiann's diabolique. The per-
formance was brought to summary
close by the unexpected event. D..
