An Ingenious Continuance.

An apparatus has been attached to the
rear of the pay-car used on the Middle
Division of the Pennsylvania Railroad
which is expected to be of important
service to the officers of the road when
on tours of inspection. A roll of white
paper 700 feet in length encircles q
cylinder, from which it is paid out at
the rate of three feet to the mile run by
the car, its forward movement being
regulated by the revolutions of the near
est axle under the car. A led-pencil
placed about the center of the paper in
dicates by its mark the condition of the
track. The more uneven the track the
longer will be the mark which the PEN
Gil will make. Another way of show
ing the inspecting parties that the track
is uneven is by a horizontal piece of
iron or steel, which oscillates like the
pendulum of clock as the train moves.
When very defective point is reached
the pendulum comes in contact with a
metal on each side, circular in shape,
and creates sound like that of a bell.
This new invention is expected to work
much more satisfactorily than the tele-
graph apparatus formerly in operation.

May on Pixies Peak.

The month of May was remarkable
for low barometer and temperature,
high winds, frequent, heavy snow
storms, great total precipitation, and
generally very severe weather. The
heaviest snow-storms occurred from the
4th to the 7th, inclusive; from the 18th
to the 18th, inclusive, and on the 22d.
The last one is without parallel in the
history of the station, more than three
feet OF snow having fallen during the
day, almost completely burying the
house, added to what was already on
the summit. It was different from all
other storms that have occurred during
the past winter, in being steadily ac-
companied by northeast wind. As is
usual, the precipitation Of snow was ac-
companied by areas of low pressure,
but the most Of it fell after the barome-
ter had commenced to rise. The only
exception to this rule was during the
storm of the 18th to the 18th, which was
accompanied by southwest and west
winds throughout. Thunder-storms oc-

Miraculous Escape OF an Infant In a
Railroad Smash.up.

People say sometimes that angels
guard the helpless infants from harm
and danger. And to notice the many
wondrous escapes made by infant chill
dren from almost inevitable death one
might readily believe the assertion so
often made. Yesterday morning not
able incident of this character trans
pired on the line of the Kansas City, St.
Joseph & Council Bluffs Railroad. Pas
senger train No. 8, going north, was
booming along the track quite lively
about 4 O'Clock, when it bounced a
broken rail on the track and moment
afterwards the ladies' car and Pullman
car were skipping and jumping over
the rails. A woman seated near one of
the open windows in the ladies' car
had her baby torn from her grasp by
the shock, and before she could
prevent it the child fell out of the win
dow just as the car rolled over on its
side. The car was dragged 10 or Is
feet after it had fallen over on its side.
1t was thought that the infant must be
ground up and crushed to pieces as it
had fallen directly beneath the capsized
car. But when the debris was cleared
away and search was made for the re-
mains of the child, it was heard crying
near the rear of the coach. When, with
the aid of shovels, the child was dug out,
it was found to be almost uniniured. 1t
had fallen into hollow place near the
track, and had lain there safe while the
car was dragged over it. Seven per-
sons were injured by the accident, but
none fatally. Two young ladies re-
eeived serious injuries in their hips, but
as they declined medical examination
before reaching home it could not be
definitely ascertained whether their in
Juries are dangerous or not. The acct
dent occurred near Phelps, a station
north OF st. Joseph. Kansas Csty

A North Carolina Ball.

An afternoon of strolls and visits,
and away in pigeon-tail and white kids
for the grand military ball. A vast hall
ablaze with many-tinted lights. Lady,
rinths of flowers and twining vines.
Wreaths, arches, and festoons of ever
greens and buds and blossoms, all
breathing the sweetness of Araby the
blest. Tables respondent with china,
glass, and crystal; adorned with bou-
quets of choice exotics, and loaded with
salads, fruits, creams, cakes, and con-
fections. One magnificent triumph OF
the cake-maker's art, emblazoned in
letters of snowy sugar with "Compli-
mentary to the press. Raise your
standard high. Let truth, justice, and
temperance direct, and God will bless
our land"
Joyous groups of ethereal creatures
fitting, floating to music's witching
strains, like immortal butterflies and
humming birds, amid the roses and ILL
les, magnolias, sweet bays, camellias,
japonicas, pinks, peonies, geraniums,
and verbenas. A hundred pairs of eyes
that outshone the stars of the eve
ming, beautiful stars" peach-bloomy
cheeks and cherry lips, teeth of pearls
and necks of snow, ribbons, plumes,
and streamers gay, laces, dimples,
silks, and fleecy muslins darted and
whirled in may, waltz, galop, and quad
rifle, in ecstatifying ENHANCEMENT, like
the tiny angels in q kaleidoscope. Jew
els flashing, music ringing, right eyes
sparkling, laughter ripping, jest and
story, cake, jelly, dance and Irritation,
wit, welcome, berries, poetry. and ices
flying on every hand and all in an at
mosphere whose wings dropped heavy
with the intoxicating burden of tropical
perfumes.
Oh, it was enchanting; and as we
wandered and gazed, skybugled and
slipped, we felt like green tub of rose
buds afloat in an ocean of liquid honey,
cologne, cream, and strawberry-juic !;
fairy-like sensations hoped, skipped,
and tumbled somersaults through every
nook and corner of our nature, on feet
of diamonds, escorted by Cupid's
chariots drawn by angels, shaded by
honeysuckles, and overcanopied with a
huge bed-spread of melted rainbows.
Among the brilliant throng, conspicu-
Gus anywhere, were Mrs. Mary Bayard
Clarke, North Cardinals famed au-
thoress and poetess; Mrs. r. F. Leh-
man, Mrs. Bryan, Mrs. Giles w. Young,
Mrs. Ayres, Mrs. I. E. West, Mrs. VIM.

ME Justice, Alice Lehman, Minnie
Long, Matte Street, Lucy Guion, Alice

of others equally as worthy of mention.
