tants, and thence west over the ST. Louis
Kansas City and Northern Short Line, which
reaches all the great land grants in the
West, and runs six fast express trains, two
more than amy other road, between the Mis-
sissippi and Missouri rivers. This road, i'll
the last two years, has expended over two
million dollars, besides earnings in eXtraor-
dmary Improvements of roadway, in relay

steel and iron rails, broad new ties, and
i'll passenger equipment, having substituted
for ordinary cars ,nw reclining chair coach

safety, being elegantly fitted with dressing

and gentlemen and families travelling with

A HERMIT WHO ABHoas WOMEN.

Two miles south of Albion, says
the Rochester Express, lives .
very singular person named An
thony trip, all old man between
sevruiy and eighty years of age.
Of The Niagara Falls railroad, yet
he has mover seen it nor the loco
motive whose whistle he hears
daily. For over half Il century he
has dwtlt by himself, doing all his
household work. During AL this
time no woman has ever crossed
his threshold, aud, indeed, few
men. If woman approached lie
would bar the dnOr and take refuge
in the cellar. With men lie would
hold 10 Intercourse except when
absolutely necessary or nnavOid-
able. Latterly he seems to have
taken even a stronger antiqathy to
his fellow man, hiding himself npon
the approach of any person. When
Anthony Trpp was about twenty
years of ag,, as the story runs, he
was engaged. to be mart led to her;
but she was fic%ie and Tilted him.
From that tire his life was en-
bitiered, and he fole-swore woman
kind. He was not one OF those
who think there are as good fish in
the sea as ever were caught. The
fAlseness of this girl partially craz
ed him. and he has since dweIt
apart from human kind. This
should be Il warning to young wO-
men never to .jilt lovers.

The petitioner charges Crosby

Peter Crosby, defendant. de-
INJURED, and for demurrer assign

not aver that the relatOr, A. j. Elan
agan, is entitled, in law and in fact,
to all or any of the offices, fran

nation mentioned.
! 81. Said Information does not aver

was qualified to hold the same.
81. Said information does not
show that said Flanagan has any

A SOLD INs URANCE MAN.

Printers are naturally in for a
Joke. They a1e proverbially fond
of fnn; but to look at them you
wouldn't think it. Here is Il good
joke 'printer man" played on his
follow lodger in Pottsville: A GER
tain insurance man in town, who
boards at The same hotel with one
of the night compositOrs of the
Journal, in order 10 save the subs
criptiOn price to newspaper, enter
ed ihto an arrangement with the
printer to get the news as soon AS
he got up. The printer was to
write out ii brief sketch of all the
important news and stick ii under
the.insurance mans door.
A few mornings since the latter
got up, dressed himself, excepting
one boot and stocking and his coat
when he cspied the paper under
the door. He picked it up and
read as follows: "Grant asSassinat-
Ell. Country in an uproar. Mrs.
Sartoris and MIS-. Grant carried of
by masked kidnappers while in
sensible. A member of the Cabinet
supposed to be the assassin. $780,
900 reward offered by Congress-
Without completing his toilet he
rushed out of the room and walked
UP several boarders, told them of the
great news and scared them out OF
their wits. We leave to our rea-
ders TO conjecture, if they can, the
disgust of the whole party when
they found out how they had been
sold. The insurance man has
sworn to subscribe to a daily paper.

NIs. Frank MOultOn has been on
the witness stand in the great
Brooklyn case, and her testimony
is perhaps a. important as any that
will trsnspire in the trial. i;he re-
lates, m"st positively, that in 1876
Mr. Beccher was visiting her huS-
land an most urgent business at all
hours Of the day and night. That
coming TO the house one morning in
Mr. Moulton's absence. he asked
her, "dO you know of my great
trouble in this matter Z" She re
piled, "yes, Frank told me-" Mr..
Bercher exclaimed. Z" hank God,
there is one woman on earth to
whom l can go in confidence for Il
little sympathy in my affection
Mrs. NoultOn goes on tO declare
that Mr.. Jseec!,er then made clean
breast of the matter to her, and re-
guested she would go to Mrs. TiltOl
and offer her cOnsOling sympathy
She told Mr.. Beecher the matter
must ,tsooner Orlater come to the sight
Of the world, and asked why lie did
not 60 10 his church aud acknowl-
e.ige b,s sin and ask forgiveness,
promising to lie faithful thereafter.
Mr.. Beecher replied he could no,
think of 10 disgracing his calling
his congregation and. his wife and
children, and said if Theodore be-
trayed him and sacrificed his wife
to satisfy his old hatred OF him, be
wOnld die before he wOulI confess
He would fight it to the death.
A critical crOss-examinatiOn failed

timony. Truly the great Plymouth

DEATH OF THE EMPEROR OF CHINA.

The death OF the Emperor of
China is ali event which will Occl-
sion Il good deal of soiiciiude among
the Western nations until the ques-
tiOn of the succession has been de-
tinitely settled. The only fear of
the deceased EmperOr's rule was
the danger thai he would not par
sue the liberal policy of Prince
Kung during the Reg .ncy, but his
two years reign seemed to be an
assurance to the contrary. Now the
uncertainty takes a new shal e, and
the question is, into whose hands
are the de-tinieS of China 10 fall !!
Fortunately Prince Kung WIS again
all powerful at the last accounts
aud if it be true thai there is to he
another Regency it is likely that Q
will again he the Regent. He is
the only person about the imperial
Office at Pekin who seemed able 10
rule the Empress Dowager and the
Empire at the same time. His pO!
icy is acceptable 10 the West .rn
Powers and it will be gratifying to
learn that ne has been rrinstated

PEEHISrOEIC REMAINS IN CALI
TORNIA. .....

A piece Of oak fossilized, which had
evidently when in condition of wood been
artifcially cut with square edges to a shape
some twenty inches long by fourteen wide
and five deep, has recently been found in
the South Fork tunnel, near Forrest City,
Sierra county, 1900 feet from the mouth Of
the tunnel, with, 500 vertical feet Of the
mountain above It. This relic Of human
artifce in the prehistoric period was found
in what was the west bank Of the great river
which ran across the present courses Of the
Sierra river system. How many thousands
of centuries have passed since it was shaped,
and for how many it has lain undsturbed
in it's deeply covered grave, is sugges-
tive subject Of study and conjecture.
Other discoveries indicating the existence of
man in very remote ages have been made
in various sections of this old river course;
and in 1858 a number of fossilized pine logs,
seven feet long and four in diameter, that
had been neatly sawed and piled up to-
gether, were found in The Allegheny tunnel,
under the bed of the aOld Blue River.'
The recently found relic has been forward
to the State Uuiversity.-CJntra Costa (Cdl.)
