An Engineers Story.

In the autumn of 1856 | was an engi-
neer on the Galena and Chicago Union
railroad, now the Galena division of
the great Chicago and Northwestern
railway, was sent one Sunday from the
junction thirty miles west of Chicago
to Harlem, TO bring up several cars
loaded with railroad iron. On arriving
at Harlem found the turn table broken,
and, therefore went down to the limits,
then Halstead street, to turn nv engine
about. At that time there were no
houses between the city and Oak Ridge,
nine miles out, it being a smooth, level
prairie all the way, and but little travel
except on cars. The road was an air
line, and when l had got half over the
distance, ] saw, walking on the track, a
young man and a young woman, each
one carrying a small parcel, and having
the appearance of fugitives. That was
long before Mr.. Greeley had instructed
the young men to ego west" and this
pair had really got the start of the Trib-
une seer, for they were going west as
fast as they could walk, and at the time
of my meeting them, had long stretch
before them that promised no pleasing
company except such as they found in
each other.
After turning my engine 1 started
back, and in short time overlook
the wanderers, when stopped the en-
gine and invited them TO ride. At
first they seemed little timid, but
quieted their fears, and having got
them nicely seated in the cab, l started
on. By severe questioning 1 learned
that the man had been in the employ
of farmer, in Chautauqua county, n.
Y; that the girl was the only daught-
er of the farmer; that they had deter
mined on getting married against the
will Of the parents, and had ran away,
seeking the haven of rest, Chicago.
Here they got out of money, and. as
the young man failed to get work they
had started out to look for places among
the farmers. took them to the june
ton, where his story awakened good
deal of interest for them among the
railroad men, resulting in placing him
at De Kalb as a night wiper of locomo-
tives. Here they continued all winter,

Climate ana weather.

Climate is geographically fixed, while
weather is atmospherically variable !;
climate is calculated quantity, while
weather is an unknown one. All sorts
of rules are applicable to climate, but
none are applicable to weather. Gil
mate is monarchy, weather is an
archy. Climate is constitutional gov
ernment, whose organization we see
and understand; latitude and altitude
are its king and queen; dryness and
dampness are its two houses OF parlia-
ment; animal and vegetable products
are its subjects, and the isothermal lines
are its newspapers, but weather is a
red-hot, radical republic, all excite
ments and uncertainties, despiser of
old rules, hater of proprieties and or
der. Climate is great, stately sover-
eign, whose will determines the whole
character of the lives and habits of its
retainers, but whose rule is regular,
and therefore so little felt that it seems
like liberty; but weather is capricious
cruel tyrant, who changes his DEGREES
every day, and who forces us by his
ever-varying whims, to remember that
we are slaves. Climate is local; weather
is universal. We are Indifferent to
climate because We are accustomed to it,
but we are dependent on weather be-
cause We never know what form it will
take tomorrow. Climate is the rule !;
weather is the exception. Climate is
dignity; weather Black

Intermarri.xes In s.erma.y.

In the upper classes marriage is de-
termined, if not chiefly, yet perhaps
decisively, by means. 1t is part of the
prosaic, practical land yet how fatally
unpracticaD programme which seems
the law of the modern German nature
the money, if in a family, shall not
be allowed to go out OF it. Hence, both
in the case of gold and land, marriages
and intermarrigges go on generation
after generation, the relationships grow
ing ever nearer and nearer, more and
more confused, and the results, as may
be readily immagined, ever more and
more disastrous. In no other country
does one meet with the same number
Of goitrous throats, SCARED necks, spin
al disease, hip disease, bad teeth, and
generally defective bone structure, as
i'll Germany. No hesitation is felt in
speaking openly on matters that one
might without hypocrisy, be justified
in hiding under any available bushel.
"Who is that frightfully disfigured
person?" asked my neighbor brilliant
young Lieutenant of hussars, at a fami-
ly dinner. Sch leide sehr an Skrofeln,"
said the young lady in question on the
other side of me, speaking in the same
level. emotional tone that she might
have used i'm asking me to pass the salt.
Alasi she had no need to tell the terri
BILE tale; but in a week, neither more
nor less, she was engaged to the critical
Lieutenant(he was over head and ears
in debit who though he had not been
too delicate to sneer at her defects, was
not slow to discover that the bedur yeur
de sa eassette made up for want Of eye
lashes, and that sixty thousand thalers
covered a multitude of sins. In anoth-
er family. where cousins had intermar-
ried with cousins apparently since the
flood, the sole heir to vast property
was a delicate spineless boy, a child
whose bones had cruel tendency to
work through the skin, and so to slough
away to the agony of the little sufferer.
1t was not possible that he should live,
and, when after twelve years of terrible
death came, and mercifuly
set him free at last, the childless father,
looking around, picked out another
cousin, took her to wife and lived to
have three more children, whereof two
were grieveously afflicted in mind and
body, but the third, hectic boy, sur
vived to inherit the estate.-Frdser's
Magazine.

The Pineapple.

The history of the pineapple dates
back for several centuries. Columbus
found it growing on the Island of Gaud-
alupe in 1892. The Japanese cultivated
it as early as 1853, and it is supposed il
was brought to Europe from Java. Ii
appears that this fruit was transplanted
from South America to Asia and Africa,
for in 1892 it was carried to Bengal and
China; from that country it passed to
Brazil and, according to Hum boldt
grows wild i'm the forest of OronOco.
They spoil very easily and sometimes
during the voyage here a whole cargo
of vessel is spoiled.
1t is considered a good trip if three
fourths of a cargo is in order when the
vessel arrives. This depends not only
on the length of the voyage, but also
upon the weather experienced, thunder
showers being particularly destructive
to them. 1t is estimated that four mil
lion two hundred thousand pineapples
are brought into New York annually.
The business of canning this fruit is be-
coming quite extensive and likewise
profitable, and at least a million pine
apples is put up in cans every year.
California may yet come in for a share
Of this trade, for we believe our hot
Southern countries will yet produce this
delicious fruit in quantities, if not our
nearer Counties then Lower California
and Mexico which will soon be added.
will give us Pines.
