A Long Railroad Trip by Wind.
Power.

On Tuesday last L. J. Rusk, of La
Crosse, Wis; Father Genin, Catholic
along the line of the Northern
Pacific Railroad; Charles A. Morris, La
Crosse; H. Sprague, of Standing Rock,
and Fl. Dodge, Of Bismarck, wished to go
east from Bismarck. The stage had left
on Monday, and would not 60 again for a
week, which would delay them too long
to meet engagements in the States. They
thought of hand-car, and then shudder-
ingly considered the job of pumping 200
miles. They finally concluded it could
and must be done, and, after getting per-
mission to take the car, they babe adieu
to the good people of Bismarck and started
on their journey with full stomachs and
light hearts, happy with the thought that
in three days they would bring up at
Headquarters Hotel, Fargo, distance Of
200 miles, where they could rest day be-
fore seating themselves in the comfortable
coaches of the Northern Pacific. and be
whirled along their journey. After being
out few hours, and getting pretty tired,
an idea suggested itself, which proved a
blessing during the rest of the journey.
Mr.. Rusk had an "A" tent, and with it
they made sail, which relieved them
from the hard work of pumping" and
gave them leisure to view the objects of
interest along the route. Old Boreas
proved to have better supply of wind
than they did themselves, and they bowled
along at speed that sometimes made
their hair stand on end, making the dis
lance from Bismarck to Fargo in seven
teen and half hours-an average of near
ly twelve miles an hour. Mr.. Walker,
the operator here, informed the operator
at Bismarck of the time of their arrival,
and the quick trip excited general aston
ishment among those who are posted
on the beauties Of hand car travelling gen.
erally.-Faryo D. ~ Times.

A Wonderful Cannon.

Mr.. Koykel, of Passaic City, N. j., has
for ten years past, in connection with
New York mechanic, been at work ON an
invention which promises to revolutioniZe
ordnance. There was an exhibition on
Saturday in public Of the gun. The lit
tie one used Saturday looked like a twelve
foot gas pipe with half-inch bore, and
carrying needle shaped bullet. On the
under side of the gun are metallic pock-
cts, each filled with as much powder as
the load at the breech. As the gun is
fired these additional charges Of powder
explode as the projectile passes through
the barrel, so that before it gets out it re-
ceives the impending force of each addi-
tional charge. Being spread along the
barrel the danger of an explosion is avert
ed and the force increased to q wonderful
degree. The first shot fired was througha
solid mass of monitor iron four inches thick
which the projectile pierced as though it
were pine board, and buried itself sew
eral inches in an oaken stump, against
which the iron had been placed. Then
shot was fred at target composed of
twelve plates of ee-eighths inch plate
iron, securely strapped together. The
bullet went through this. One of these
cannons, of six-inch bore, has been COM
pleted, and will be tested before United
States officers in q few weeks, and it Is es-
timated will send ball from twelve to
fifteen miles.-N. r. Star.

A SextOn's Mistake.

THE New York Graphic relates the fol-
lowing anecdote of the sexton of Grace
Church, in that city:
Speaking of Brown, anecdotes are al
ways in order. One cold Sunday morn
ing during the wartime soldier with a
well-worn private's overcoat over his
shoulders entered the vestibule of Grace
Church, and, failing to receive any notice
from the sexton, leisurely walked up the
main aisle to one of the best seats. The
church was crowded, and shortly after
came a dashing Second Lieutenant, evil
IDENTIFY new to his straps, and throwing
back his cloak to display his rank he was
obsequiously taken in charge by Brown.
Walking directly to the seat occupied by
the man in the old overcoat the sexton
tapped the intruder on the shoulder and
said, There are seats there for you,"
in tone that meant i" for such as you"
at the same time indicating rear corner.
Making no response, the private arose,
and without the slightest embarrassment
retired to the part Of the church to which
he had been so unceremoniously con-
signed. The seat he vacated was occu-
pied by the gallant Lieutenant, resplend-
ent in the glory of brand-new trappings.
The private found his new quarters much
more comfortable than the place he had
vacated, and because of the nearness to
the register he tossed hack his overcoAt.
revealing to the Mortified gaze of Brown
the stars Of Major. General. The sup
posed private was N. p. Banks, and this
incident is related simply 70 show that
even Brown himself is not infallible.

Oriental Names.

The Orientals are as fond of calling
people by nicknames as Westerners could
possibly be, and these names, suggested
by some popularity Of feature or manner,
are often exceedingly appropriate: Six
fingered; Half.mustache; Shovel nose !;
Liquor-jug, drunkard; Catch no jack
ais, an unsuccessful hunter Son Of golden
hair, a rcd-headed man; Son-of- the night
ingale; Laughter; Come-and-go, a busy
body; Son ola fox; Son. Son Of
a-wolf, sheep-thief; Son of Thunder;
Son of the Devil, and many similar, are
but examples of the appropriateness of
these names. The designations of girls
are supposed to be expressive of all those
charms which will aid them in securing
fortunate alliance in matrimony, the chief
end OF an Eastern woman's life. Often the
names of the most brilliant stars are given
them, as Venus, and others; the word
Esther means star, and was favorite
name for Jewish girls. They were named
Light, Dawn, Twilight, Moonlight, and
the names of favorite trees were also given
them, such as the Pomegranate, Almond,
Date Palm. They were also called after
precious metals and gems, and given the
names of fleet and graceful animals and
birds, as we'll as of moral qualities. Dia-
mond, Emerald, Pearl, Brilliant, Gem,
Sugar-Lip, Princess, Gazelle, Dove, Spar
row, and among the moral attributes,
Well-Spoken, Love, Affection and the
HOLY One

I FREAKS of 4 Crazy Prisoner.

Robert Burke, the unfortunate possessor
Of . disordered intellect, who he's been
closely confined in the County Jail since
his crazy onslaught On Mrs. Raible, is an
object on which no amount of pity would
be wasted. He sleeps or dozes sometimes
during the day, but never at night. His
nights are spent in walking-walking in
q circle around his cell, a circumscrfbed
promenade indeed. Every evening, be-
fore entering on his pedestrian duties, he
divests himself of the few clothes he wears
and heaps them up in the center of the
cell. When walking or running he steps
high, and his footballs ring on. the cell
floor all night long. Sometimes he in
creases his gait to a lively run, and keeps
it up till, tired in muscle and short Of
breath, he drops from sheer exhaustion,
but only until, he can recover strength
enough to renew the race. The other in
mates Of the Jail complain that their rest
is broken by this monotonous and unceas-
ing exercise. Burke is in a fair way of
starving to death it he persists in his OBJ
stinate refusal Of food of any kind, as he
has done since last Friday. On that day
he took his last nourishment Since then
he has scorned to receive or accept bite
OF anything. If he still refuses to-day the
officers will try and force him to swallow
some nourishment. He says he is fast
ing five days for his sins. Every day he
receives one or two, and sometimes half a
dozen, kilograms from Rothschild, the
Jewish Midas. A piece of newspaper, a
tag from his clothes, or anything he can
put his hands on, he uses to represent the
imaginary dispatches. Rothschild's mes
sages are both IF financial and religious
nature-that is, he is negotiating large
loans through Burke, and, moreover,
looks to him for spiritual comfort. Burke
said, the other day, very blandly, that he
had hopes of relieving Rothschild of his
financial embarrassments, but spiritually
he was goner, as he would persist in eat
ing meat, and that would send him to
perdition sure. He thinks place in
Satan's dominions awaits every man who
eats meat or wears leather shoes, or sleeps
next to blankets. Jailer Bright brought
him pair of gum shoes the other day.
He rejected them disdainfully, telling the
jailer to "put them on and walk for his
SINS" Burke told the officers yesterday
he thought he could save most of the other
prisoners, but he had just received mes
sage from on High "that the inside SEN
tinel would be eternally damned" Burke
ought to be shipped to some asylum
