Transformers in Texas.

Grasshoppers are rather novelty in
Texas, and II you were to tell a Texan,
anywise familiar with railroads, that
grasshoppers could stop train, he
would laugh at the idea and think you
were "poking fun at him." For all this,
the qrasshoppers are stopping trains
right here in Texas. Sunday night, when
Mayor Lord and Alderman McGow wan
were going TO Austin, just beyond Gid
dings the track was 80 covered with
'hoppers that it took the train two hours
to make six miles. In places they were
two feet thick on the track. The wheels
running over them mashed them so that
the track became so slippery the wheels
revolved without going ahead. The

A ROMANTIC STORY.

How Young American Determined to
Obtain ~ Great Mechanical Secret.
Forty years ago there lived in Provi.
dence, within stones throw from where
Grace Church now stands, young
man of great intelligence and wonderful
mechanical ability, who spent little
fortune in the valid attempt at making a
perfect representation of Russia iron,
and after as many failures as attempts in
this undertaking, he became utterly
ruined, financially. His ambition for
the secret increased as his fortune grew
smaller and smaller, and when absolute
want stared him in the face he became
possessed with the determination to &C.
cept OF the only means of obtaining one
OF the greatest secrets in mechanical art,
aId to gain this he must suffer penal
servitude in the dungeons of Russia.
The rulers OF Russia are the only pos
! SCISSORS of the art of making what is
known as glazed Russia iron, used ex-
tensively for oil kinds of stoves and
stovepipe work, and which has for
nearly a century been made within the
walls OF Russia's underground prisons.
None but life convicts were allowed to
be initiated into the secrets of manu-
facture of one Of the principal means of
income to the Russian Government, and
when once within its walls no one need
ever hope for pardon, for none has ever
been granted, while but enc has ever
been known 60 have escaped, and when
the door If once shut to the outside
world 1t i never known what has been
the fate OF the unfortunate. This, then,
was the Providence mans last resort for
gaining possession of the secret which
had become his only ambition. He left
his home for Europe, and the simple
rumor of the attempted assassination of
the Gar by an American, supposed to
be insane, was all that was ever known
to his friends of what became of the am
bilious mechanic, and as nearly half o
century has ratified on since he set out
upon his perilous undertaking, hardly
person living will remember the circum-
stance which Is here recorded. There is
one person, however, in Providence,
who remembers well the day the hero of
our sketch babe her fearful farewell,
promising that before she reached her
twentieth birthday he would return to
her and fulfill his promise. All through
these long years she had never forgotten
her promise to wait for her lover, nor
ceased to believe he would yet come for
her. She now hives within a moments
walk OF the chimes of Grace Church, and
is still well preserved, and her grace and
beauty make her far more attractive than
many whose years are the same as were
hers when her lover separated from her
so long ago. Last week she received
the glad tidings from far away over the
water that he VINO had so long kept her
patiently waiting was on his way 10 full
fill his promise of forty years ago, and
let us hope he may bring the secret he
paid for 80 dearly, and that he may live
to see some reward for his great sacri
flee. -PrOvide,lce Press.

Has Man Been so Very Long on the
Earth.

There has been a tendency among men
of science TO pass from q profession ESQ
few years ago. of total ignorance as to
the mode OF origin of all living things,
to claim to almost complete knowledge
OF the whole progress of the universe,
from the first speck of living protoplasm
up to the highest development of the
human intellect. Yet this is really what
we have seen in the last sixteen years.
Formerly difficulties were exaggerated,
cient knowledge to venture on any gen.
ordinations on the subject. Now diff
culties are set aside, and it is held that
our theories are so well established and
SO far re iching, that they explain and
comprehend all nature, and at the pres
ent day it seems to me that facts which
oppose popular views hardly receive due
consideration. It is curious circum-
stance, that notwithstanding the atten-
tion that has been directed to the sub
ject in every part Of the world, and the
numerous excavations connected with
railways and mines which have offered
such facilities for geological discovery,
no advance whatever has been made for
considerable number of years, in de-
tecting the time or the mode of mans
origin. The Paleolithic flint weapon,
first discovered in the North of France
more than thirty years ago are still the
Oldest undisputed proofs of mans ex-
istence and amid the countless relics of
former world that have been brought
to light no evidence of any one Of the
links that must have connected man with
the lower animals has yet appeared. The
conclusion which think we must arrive
at is, that if man has been developed
from a common ancestor, with all exist
ing apes, and by no other agencies than
such as have affected their development,
then he must have existed in something
approaching his present form during the
tertiary period, and not merely existed,
but predomnated in numbers wherever
suitable conditions previled. In that
case IL will be fair argument, that, Just
as he is in his cnental and moral nature,
his capacities and aspirations, 80 infin-
itely raised above the brutes, SO his or
igin is due to distinct and higher agen-
cies than such as have affected their
development.-A.R IL. Wallace at the
British association

Wild Peaches.

The editor of the WaHopai Enter
prise, published at Mineral Park, Arr
zona Territory, has been presented with
a box Of wild peaches, and says of
them "These peaches, though wild,
are equal in flavor to any we have ever
eaten, and some of them measured as
much as nine inches in circumference.
The trees upon which they grew were
discovered some twelve or thirteen
years ago by the first whites in this Sec
ton of the country, and at the time of
the discovery the main tree looked TO
be as old as it does to-day. The fruit,
in appearance, resembles the finest Jer-
sey peaches.

A Rare Circumstance.

At Suffern, Rockland county, N. p, a
few days ago, there was golden we'd
ding in circumstances which will not
repeat themselves very soon. James
Suffern and Miss Maria Winter were
married on the 9th of September, 1896,
the Rev. Jefferson Wynkoop, pastor of
the parish of Suffern, performing the
ceremony. On Saturday, the 9th Of
September, 1876, the aged couple were
reunited in marriage by the same clergy
man, who now lives at Cuba, Allegheny
county. The bridesmaid and the grooms-
man at the first wedding again ofliciated.
The united ages of this remarkable we'd
ding party exceeded 400 years, and all
are still in excellent health.
