A Cool Railway POrter.

An English paper says A remark
able example of p1esence of mind in a
railway porter is Afforded by an incident
which occurred as the down train from
Perth to Aberdeen was leaving Guthrie
station. A newahoy who accompanied
tl1is train while in the act of stepping
into q carriage missed his footing, and
9eD down between the platform and the
wheeIs of the carriages. $. Aa the train

or remained awe-stT uck and motloniess,
abiding the issue. Fortunately, howev-
er, one OF the station porters was mas

and, rusning forward, lay down on the
platform then seizing the boy with his
hands, held him flat on the ground slll
all the footboards of the train had

Fatal Forest Flght-Found Dead.

The particulars of terrible tragedy
have Just reached us from Rice lake, by
which woodsman quite well known In
this city and Wausau, as well as to the
settlers further north, lost his life. The
woodsman alluded to is Fred Duffy. He
accompanied VIM. johnson last sum-
mer to Tomahawk lake, and from there
to Lac de Flambeau, and after return
ing. went back to Rice lake, near the
head waters of the Wolf, where he
makes his home with an Indian trader.
tercation with one of the Indians, but
the difficulty appeared to be of trivial
nature, and little was thought of it by
the friends OF either. A few days after
the difficulty, however, Duffy and the
Indian were missed. Several days
passed by, but they did not return.
That both OF the parties to the difficulty
should simultaneously disappear was
considered singular coincidence, but
not until an entire week had elapsed
did the friends of Duffy become sufi-
ciently alarmed to institute search.
At this tune vague suspicious of foul
play began to fit acrose the imagina-
ton of his friends, and finally it was re-
solved to look for him in the woods.
For this purpose a party started out.
but their search was of short duration.
The mysterious disappearance was soon
solved. In the woods, short distance
from the settlement, they found the
bodies of both Duffy and the Indian
lying stiff and cold in death. Duffy
had one deep stab in his back and two
in his left breast, while ali the mark of
violence that could be found on the In
dian was deep indenture in the left
breast, over the heart. How these two
men happened to meet in fatal combat,
surrounded only by the forest, is of
course, matter of conjecture only.
All that is positively known is that the,
had q personal difficulty, that both
soon afterward disappeared, and that
their bodies were found as above
stated. The theory, however, is that
the Indian stole stealthily up on Duffy,
inflicted a severe wound in his back,
and, as he turned around, dealt him two
blows in the breast. Duffy was pow
erful man, with the arm of vulcan,
and it is thought that when he found
himself attacked, he turned upon his
antagonist, and, striking out with the
strength begot of desperation, he dealt
him q fatal blow, as above indicated.
Both men must have gone down to-
gether, as the body of Duffy was found
lying partially ocross that of the In
| dian. Point (Wis.) Journal.

Western Etiquette.

A Yankee out West. who recently

seen live Hoosier, faas sent her home
another epistle. on Western etiquette.
Here it is: ]" Western people go TO their
death on etiquette. You can't tell
man here that he lies, as you can down
East, without fighting. A few days ago
q man was telling two of his neighbors,
Ia my hearing, q pretty large story.

Says he, Lay there. stranger, and in

sion, says / to man. I never saw before,

he, that lady is my wife, and if you
don't apologize in two minutes, by the

two pistols which he held in his
