The Father of the First Railroad.

The success of the fast train in it's
fight across the continent brings up
memories of Mr.. Gridley Bryant, the
constructor of the first. railroad in
America, that from the Quincy gran
lite quarries to tide-water in 1926. Mr..
Bryant was only twenty eight years old
at the time. A biographical notice
says of him: I'm the front of the self
educated pioneer engineers of this
country stands the name Of Gridley
Bryant, the protector and inventor of
the first railroad In America, the in
ventor of the eight-wheeled car, turn
table, the portable derrick, the switch
and many other valuable improve
ments in railway machinery and
equipments. The absolute necessity of
these inventions to railroad success,
and his genius in overcoming the OBJ
stacles In his way, are now fully recog-
nized. A great contest took place in
the courts about the ownership of the
patent of eight-wheeled cars, and
though Mr.. Bryant could not secure
any benefit from it, yet the invention
was fully established as original with
him. After coming into possession of
the Quincy quarry, Mr.. Bryant fur
nished granite in many building con-
tracts. He secured several important
contracts with the national govern
ment, among them that for the United
States Bank in this city, in 1924. Mr..
Bryant also built the Mill Dam in 1919,
before which time the Neck " was the
only means of communication between
Boston and the towns to the south
west. In the same year St. Paups
church was erected, and for this and
the United States Bank Mr.. Bryant was
master-mason. The columns of the
bank, in single shafts of thirty tons
each, were the earliest of the large
stones since procured and set up In the
facade of public structures in our city.
Other similar shafts were the eight
columns of the two porticos zone still
in existence) that originally graced the
north and south facades of the court
house in this city. Mr.. Bryant also
supplied the granite for constructing
the dry docks in Charlestown and Nor
folk, for the Aston House and Albany
Exchange. The first railroad inven-
tons of Mr.. Bryant have not been
changed or improved since he invented
them, and the first turntable stands as
originally built,

English Impressions of America.

Speaking of the erroneous impress
sions of this country held among Eng
lishmen, a writer says: Gone gentle
man who is above the average in gener-
al intelligence, seriously asked the ques-
ton why it was that we adhered to a
practice chat civilization ought ere this
to have done away with among a peo-
pie so clever as the Americans
carrying of deadly weapons by every
man, and by every boy approaching
manhood. He was Intercepted as to
what he meant by this assertion. What
do meant said he; why, you must
know. Every man, or nearly every
one, carries pistol in America, and at
tending any place of entertain ment and
at public houses and restaurants he al
ways makes show of the deadly
weapon, placing his pistol. upon the Ia
BILE whenever he sits down for refresh
ment at any public place. OF course
you know Ascertaining that the man
was perfectly earnest in what he said,
and meant it, he was assured that he
was altogether mistaken; that as rule
our people did not carry pistol at all.
Can that be true?' said he; why | sup
posed, and I am sure that it is the
understanding among our people, that
this carrying of pistols, and their use,
too, on slight provocations, was an
American habit in every section of your
country.

A Devoted Mother.

The following incident, bordering on
the dramatic, occurred at Mende,
France. A fire was consuming a num-
Der of dwellings, when from one of the
houses, most frightful howl was heard.
A hunting-dog was trying In vain to
ckry out the little ones whom she was
A man seized her to lead her
out, but, as she defended herself fierce
ly, she was abandoned, for the flames
was approaching her. She was about
to fall a victim to her maternal love,
when a second courageous citizen, M.
Gaubert, made his way to her and tried
to lead her out. She resisted energetic
ally, tore herself from his grasp, and
Law down beside her little ones. M.
Gaubert then understood her wishes,
and picked up the young dogs, and the
poor mother followed him meekly.
The feelings of some Of our colleagues
were very naturally touched by this IN
cident, and M. Gaubert has been men
toned to the committee of rewards.
We have caused inquiries to be made,
and the commissary of the police con-
firms the foregoing account, and he en-
deavored to find the person who tried
to save the dog, but failed to discover
him.-Ow Dumb animals.

How He Got Out of Tt.

The law requiring attorneys to ia k
an oath not to defend prisoners they
believe to be guilty, is already interfer-
ing with the criminal practice of this
city. A few days ago an old Texas vet
eran dropped into the Office of a young
lawyer of this city and began to talk
about old times how old Texans bled
and died, and hurled Santa Anna into
captivity, and what a nice-looking
young man our legal friend was, and
how he reminded him of old Sam
Houston in his younger days, and final
ly wound up by saying:
" [ kinder like you, young Teller, and
Pm gWlne to give you a case. III let
you draw up my petition for pen
sion"
"Have yon got $40 about you first p
inquired the young, but promising, de-
ciple of Blackstone.
~ haven't got no $40, but before
you was oorn | druy out the Mexicans
and linens, and laid the corner stone
of this gellorious and great state, what
now shines so bright"
"ThaU was what | was afraid Of.
That's the reason can't take your case,
and write out that petition; because,
you see, [ conseientiously believe you
are guilty. That new oath will make
me lose $4,000 year in my criminal
practices alone.-Sun Antonio Herald.

through Grammar Gate, all made OF
parts of speech; and presently they got
to another stile made of a large piece
slate, called Sum Stile, where poor
Rosie almost stuck fast. Goodch1ld,
however, lent her Aunt Industrys
wonderful stick to help her over, and
declared they should now soon be at
oy Town, and showed her how to
climb up by means Of a step called
Multiplication Table.
"I wish I had got some shoes like
yours" said Rosie, rather mournfully,
as she tried to keep up with Good
child.
"You must get a pair" said Good
child; I" for I see your shoes are made
by Mr.. Now-and- then, and those soon
wear out; but here we are at Copy
Corner, and that leads over Dictation
Downs, and then we shall very soon be
there"
But at Copy Corner poor Rosie sat
down to rest awhile, and Goodchild was
kind enough to wait too; for she said it
would be no fun to go into Toy Town
alone, now they had come SO far to-
gether. So, while they rested, Rosie
asked Geodchild if there was anything
on the other side of Toy Town.
ooh, yes" answered Goodchild; but
that's in Grown-up Land, SO | don't
know much about it."
"There's no Lesson-book Lane there,
suppose" said Rosie.
"Ne-at least, it's not called so there.
But I've heard Aunt Industry say we
shall have to go up Hard-work Hill to a
great big country called knowledge,
and that leads to-"
Rosie was just going to ask what,
when all at once she gave great Jump,
and Goodchild was gone; and in her
place stood Nurse, looking down on the
blotted copy-book, where she had been
writing " Delays are dangerous" before
she fell asleep.
Rose expected scolding; but Nurse
only stroked her head, and said she was
too tired for lessons that hot afternoon,
and she had better brush her hair and
run down to mamma till tea.
So Rosie ran down gladly to mamma,
and told her all the funny dream she
had had. Mamma was very amused,
and said it was all true, and work must
come before play all our lives through.
But grown-up people don't play,
mamma; they would not care for Toy
Town."
Eyes, but they have to work and
learn just like little children"
And then, mamma"
"Well, not exactly Toy. Town, dear;
but something we shall like better per-
haps. But for the present, Lesson
book Lane is enough for my little girl,
and Toy Town is part of the kingdom
of Wisdom as much as what comes
afterWard."

COrals in Peru.

Prof. A. Agassiz has just furnished
some remarkable data in regard to the
coral limestone found at Tilibichi, Ill
Peru, at an elevation of 5000 feet above
the sea. Prof. Agassiz advances the
idea that the Pacific, within compare
ly recent times, extended through gaps
in the coast range and made an inter-
nal sea, which must have stood at a
height of not less than 1900 feet, and
that this sea must have played an I'M
portant part in the deposition of the salt
and nitrate beds in Peru. The assump-
ton that sea must have existed here
receives greater weight when M. Agas-
siz produces eight species of AAorchestes
(amphipod crustaceans) certainly a
saltwater genius, in Lake Titicaca,
which is at a height of some twelve
thousand five hundred feet.

How They Give Away Fine Farms il
@ Kansas.
From the Leavenworth Times.

Some time last April, Loslie Browns
lee, who is the head of small family,
and lives about twelve miles southwest
from the city, was visited at his home
by an oldish-looking gentleman, who
stated that he had been authorized to
present to his astonished host either
sum of money or deed to the farm
upon which he was living as tenant.
Thinking the matter joke, Mr..
Brownlee said he would prefer the
farm. The stranger said all right, and,
requesting few days time drove
away.
MIR. Brownlee soon forgot the occur
renee, and was attending to his farm as
usual, when one day afterward he was
called to the house, and there found
the same individual, who, to his furth-
er astonishment, present him with a
clear deed to the promised property, in
the visitors name, and told him that it
had been drawn up in order that he
might not discover the right name of
the true giver. He then told him to ask
no further questions, but that he might
expect to be visited again next fall by a
party of workmen, who would procure
material and build for him comfort
able house on the premises. The strang-
er would talk no further than to say
that he was the agent Of a gentleman
whose income was 500 day.
Shortly after he left, Mr.. Brownlee
received postal card, which Informed
him that if he would call at book store
in this city, he would find a book which
would be worth his while to look after.
He went to the store and there found a
fine 500 Bible, with an inscription on
the title page which read: "This is
from friend and relative. Read i!
and profit by it,
| Mr.. Brownlee says he has no knowl-
edge of the giver of his most acceptable
presents, but thinks he is the second
husband of his grandmother. He, it is
said, enlisted and went to the Mexican
war, and was never after heard from
and was for long time supposed to be
dead. His wife, Mr.. Brownlee's grand
mother, was taken in charge by her
grandson and cared for until her death
and he thinks that the old gentleman,
in payment for his care, is thus making
! him the recipient of his attentions.

Youthful Love and Marriage.

The Dubuque Times tells of an
elopement in that city. A son of a
physician about Is years of age, who
loved maiden about Is, the pretty
little daughter of wagon-maker. He
was so deeply in love with the enchant.
ing little miss, and she with him, that
like two brave young folks they con-
Guided to face the trials of married life,
unitedly if it could be done. Accord
ingly the would-be husband applied to
the Clerk of the Court for a license,
which was denied on the ground
of his youth. That did not damp
en- the fire of his determination,
so away he went to Lorrimers
livery, hired buggy, called for his
little sweetheart, and started for Dun
leith. There they met with the same
difficulty they had encountered here.
The officers who are authorized to ce-
ment the bonds of union between loving
hearts did not think they were old
enough to enter into such an Important
contract. AS last resort they headed
for Gretna Green, Wis, and if justice
accommodating enough could be found,
no doubt by this time the boy and girl
are man and wife, and just as happy as
if they hadn't done very foolish
thing.

GEN. TcHERNAIEFF, who has recently
assumed command of the Servian ar
my, has been enormously spoken of as
the "Conqueror of Turkestan." He did,
in fact, distinguish himself in the expe-
dition to Turkestan, ten years ago, but
he was broken by a court martial for
exceeding his instructions. He then
became a lawyer at Moscow, and was
afterwards a Journalist at st. Peters
burg. Like all the leaders of Panslav.-
ism, he is very hostile to Germany and
the Germans.

Paint bright pictures before our eyes,
When we awaken to weep,
Wait my little one, wait
When you reach the celestial strand
For thy mother may be toiling up

No.

A very little word is no. Any chile
can spell it. Diminutive in size, evi
dent in import, easy of utterance, fire
quent in use, and necessary in speech
It seems one Of the simplest and most
harmless Of all words, yet there art
those with whom the little monosyllablt
stick in the throat. Before it error
has fallen, and truth has risen in it
splendor.
Few have learned to speak this word
When it should be spoken;
Resolutions is deferred,
Vows to virtue broken.
More of courage is required,
This one word to say
Than to stand where shots are fired
In the battle fray.
Use it fifty, and yell see
Many a lot below
May be schooled, and nobly ruled
By power to utter-"No."

The Sculptor Actress.
From Lucy H. Hooper's Paris Letter.


There is what Lord Dundreary would
call a '' wiot and vow going on just
now IN the affairs of the Salon, and, as
usual, there is q woman in the case,
SAID feminine being no other than
Mademolselle Sarah Bernhardt, whose
group entitled After the Tempest Ito
say nothing of the two fine portraits of
her, and her statuette as La File de Ro-
haad) has made of her the heroine of
this years expedition. But 0 late a re-
port has been current that the group in
question is not the work of the celebrat-
ed actress, but of some complaisant
soul ptor who executed all the import
ant portions and left the lady to add the
finishing touches. Experts say that
beneath the delicate manipulation of
the surface may be detected the larger,
holder handling Of some more exper-
fenced artist. However this may be,
nothing would have been said about
it most probably had not Mile. Bern
hardt been mentioned as a probable
winner of one of the first prizes, if not
the medaiHe d'honneqtr itself. It is
whispered that the lady is under pecu-
liarly powerful protection" which
may account for the great success of
her work. At all events an inquiry has
been set On foot among the artists Of
Paris respecting the real author of the
group, and should this really unjust
award actually take place the result
will be an uncommonly unpleasant
"quarter of an hour" for Nile. Bern
hardt.
