Security of Railway Travel.

The action of Mr.. B-oughtonin caus-
ing thorough inspection to be made
of the condition of the Suspension
Bridge at Clifton will meet with gen.
eral public appreciation; and any in
convenience to travellers over the Great
Western Railway caused by the tenn
porary diversion of the trains to Buffalo
via the Loop Line, will, we feel sure,
be cheerfully borne, in view of the good
result to be effected. 1t is not that the
bridge in question has shown any radi-
cal defects or special signs of decay, for
the superStructure, upon examination,
has been found in every way safe; but
it is the part of cautious and prudent
management to make certainty so far
as it can possibly be secured. Accord
ingly the cables which lie imbedded in
masonry, and other supports in which
flaws may arise from the disintegration
of their particles or other causes, are
to undergo the necessary scientific tests
in such thorough manner as to in-
spire renewed confidence in the general
safety of the structure. Any defects
that may be discovered will be speedily
remedied, and if none are to be found,
so much the better. In either case the
railway management on both sides of
the river will have acquitted itself of q
duty to the travelling public of an en-
inently proper and salutary kind

Signs of the Zodiac.

When you see a young man sitting in
parlor, with the ugliest 6-year-old
boy that ever frightened himself in the
mirror clambering over his knees,
jerking his white tie out of knot, muss:
ing his white vest, kicking his shins,
feeling in all his pockets for nickels,
bombarding him from time to time with
various bits of light furniture and
bijouterie, calling him names at the top
of his fiendish lungs, and yelling inces-
sanity for him to come out in the yard
and play, while the unresisting victim
smiles all the time like the cover
of comic almanac, you may safely
bet, although there isn't the sign of q
girl apparent in q radius of 1900
miles, you can bet your bottom dollar

primping in a room not twenty feet

come there just for the fun of playing

Gen. Devens's Legs.

The legs that have been lost by Gen.
Devens, the new Attorney-General, in
the recent newspapers, would suffice to
stock a large family of disabled and
hmbless centipedes. Almost every BIZ
ographical sketch has dismembered him
here or there, and those who have not
seen his actual person may have been
led to believe that President Hayes, in
his Cabinet-making, has been obliged
to use a worthless old trunk in the De-
partment of Justice. .....
Let US reassure our readers. The
new Attorney General, who was, in
war times, General, in fact and not
by attorney, has two sound, serviceable,
and handsome legs, and the usual num-
Der of arms that belong to well form
ed human being, even in time of peace.
He was, however, shot occasionally
during the late unpleas antness.-PhiIG-

An Alaska Incident.


Bishop Whipple, writing to the
Ghurchman, says that, soon after Alaska
came into possession of the United
States, sin a certain Greek Church
there was beautiful ieweled copy of
the Gospels lying on the altar. An Off
Ger of the army, happening to enter the
church the day before the transfer, saw
the beautiful copy of the Gospels.
Knowing there was no law in our Indian
country, he called on the Bishop and
said: sYour Grace, Alaska is to be
turned over to US tomorrow, and ]
called to say think you had better re-
move that Gospel from your altar.
The Bishop replied: { 1t has lain there
20 years; it was the gift of the former
Empress of Russia; why should re-
move it?' My friend very meekly said
sit is beautiful jeweled copy, and
was afraid it might be stolen The
Bishop. with surprise, said: Il hope
you have no one with you who would
steal from God. 1 shall leave it on the
altar 1t was left, and it was stolen. =

A Cleverly Planned Express
Robbery.

PITTSBURGH, Pa, March 14.-Awell
planned and skillfully executed express
robbery was perpetrated in this city last
night. Superintendent Bingham of the
express company gave the following
particulars this evening: Yesterday
evening when the Buffalo express reach
ed Brady's Bend telegram was handed
to Thomas Bingham, express mesSen-
ger, which instructed him to transfer
his packages to j. II. Brooks at Tenn
pleton and return to ParkeT'S Landing
and await orders. This was dated
Pittsburgh and signed by George Bing-
ham, superintendent. Templetou is a
small station on the Allegheny Valley
Railway, 80 miles from this city. The
Buffalo express south and the train
going north meet there and stop for
supper. On the arrival of the train at
Templeton man stepped into the ex-
press car and told Messenger Bingham
he was ordered to relieve him and take
his run to Pittsburgh. MI. Bingham ask
ed for his Instructions. He produced a
telegram addressed 10 J. w. Brooks,
instructing Brooks to relieve
Bingham at TempletOn and bring the
express matter to Pittsburgh. This was
signed Geo. Bingham, superintendent.
Bingham, after the transfer to Brooks,
took the north train to Parker's, and
Brooks came to this city in charge CT
the express car. At the depot in this
city his goods were checked off correct
ly, and he got into wagon with the
driver to deliver the goods and report
at the general office on Fifth Avenue.
The robbery was committed in the
wagon between the depot and the Office.
He jumped from the wagon unnoticed
by the driver when less than half a
square from the office. The safe was
found open, and money packages
amounting to $4,000 missing when de-
livered at the office. Brooks cut the
railroad telegraph wire this side of
Templeton, and drew the wire into a
watch-house there, and with pocket
instrument he sent the bogus message
which operated so successfully.

A Poetical Suggestion.

Pastor Parker, the Hartford clergy
man who refuses to read from his pull
pit notices OF coming events, writes to
prominent religious paper an able
communication in which he ingenious
ly suggests a means of escape from the
notice nuisance. He proposes to put
the notices into verse, and let the choir
sing them TO well known religious
tunes. This, he says, can be done during
collection. He gives several samples
such, for instance, as the following, in
common meter:
The Ladies' Sewing Circle meets
On Saturday, p. M;
All garments for the mission box
May then be sent to them.
To MIR. Parker's suggestions the fol-
lowing may be added, as an inspiring
announcement for a collection, when
sung to the tune of " When Little Sam
uel Woke:"
Deacons. now take the floor
And pass the hat around;
Brethren, drop nickels in.
With jingllng gateful sound;
We haven't half we need. as yet,
To pay the interest on our debt.
For funeral notices, the poetical
talent of Americas great obituary bard
might be called into requ siticn. Childs
would gladly furnish to any bereaved
church such notices as the following,
in short meter, to the tune of "Boyls-
tom"
With signs, and sobs. and groans-
Alas he died so soonl
The Iifeless bones Of Brother Jones
We bury this afternoon.
1t is thus easy to perceive that the
whole business of pulpit notices, now
a tedious bore, may be revolutionized to
such an extent as to make it an inter-
esting part of the services.-ErchGnge.

Wood Carving for Women.

The interest now awaking in decOra-
tive art is an indication of real esthetic
progress. Heretofore we have been
absorbed in mechanical rather than
artistic advancement We have in
vented much but adorned little, and in
the art of household architecture and
decoration we are an age behind the
humSlest European dweller. The
Swiss peasant carves his chalet into a
miracle of beauty, and the influence of
European decorative art was largely
increased by the intermingling of trans
atlantic nations with ours at the Cen
tennial. Mr.. Salvisburg says the fu-
ture of wood carving should not lie in
the nature of useful ornaments or COM
monplace toys, but apply its skill to the
production of furniture and paneling.
Such articles finished with care would
find market in all opulent towns. 1t
is easy to see what the effect of this
new art will be upon the lives of work
ing-women. A few years since, it was
unknown in Cincinnati. Now II wom-
en- support themselves by this work.
Mr.. Pitman, of the Cincinnati school
of design, gave free tuition in this art,
and awakened an enthusiasm for it.
The outlay is merely nominal. The
tools cost little. Any cabinet store
furnishes material at small cost. An
artistic ability to design, though de-
sirable, is not indispensable in this art.
1t has the advantage of speedy results.
In one term of lessons about 20-the
pupil begins to exhibit his power. The
demand for this work will steadily in
crease and command high prices.
From cornices and panelings, from
church, library and parlor furniture to
cabinets, paper-holders. brackets and
other ornaments, nothing can equaI
the artistic hand-carving. Now let the
average woman take possession of this
dainty handicraft, and not rush into the
high and holy work of teacher, wher
she has no inner capability for the
work, or starve over q sewing machine
but seize the tide of a new and desira-
bic work, and in congenial means Of
self-support carve out, not decorations
alone, but also fair and beautiful sue
cess in e.-Indian0polis Journal.

which eat into the skull bone, on my LETT leg

amputate the limb, though upon consultation

the sore which was painful beyond description,
and there was quart Of matter run from this one

In Early Spring.

The tiny snow drifts. melting fast,
The breath Of south wind floating past;
The crimson in the maple shoots.
The golden crocus at the roots;
The yellow Of the willow wands,
The green Of grass along the ponds;
The swelling buds, the blue birds note,
The dandelion on the moat;
The earthly color Of the stream,
The warmer nush Of sunrise CLEAN;
The dampness Of the upland mold,s
The new life in the open void;
The song OF bird. the hum Of bee
The dawn Of wo5dside melody;
The brighter glitter on the hills,
The rapid rush Of little rills;
The morning boar frost on the hedge,
The monday drops upon the sedge;
The changing color on the vine,
The fresher hne Of mountain pine;
Are things that tell to eye and ear
That summer days are drawing near.

A Mother and Three Children
Burned to Death. rea

CoLUsA, March 7.-Yesterday morn
ing a farmhouse belonging to H. d.
Blodgett, of Butte City, in this county,
was burned completely to the ground,
and Mrs. A. Liversedgo and her three
children persisted in the flames. The
fire occurred at o'clock in the morn
ing, and Mrs. Liversedge was burned
while attempting to rescue her children,
who were in a room in the upper part
of the house. Mrs. Liversedge was the
wife of a man who is employed in the
Central Pacific Railroad Company's
shops at Sacramento. H. d. Blodgett
was her father, and she had been on a
visit to his ranch for several days. One
of the children was taken out dead, and
the other two are so badly burned that
they can not possibly survive.-Sar

By about the middle of next May the
public will have seen the last of the
present three-cent stamp, and will be-
come to get accustomed to something
red, and possibly anew tint. The best
and latest color known-the green
three-has proved placer for stamp
washers, who take off the oily cancel
lations without acid or alkai, and set
the stamp aioat again. So far the
Post-office Department has found no
way out of the difficulty, and the long
series of experiments just completed
has resulted in nothing more than the
assurance that green is the poorest OF
stamp colors. With the change OF
color, May I, there will be a change Of
design. The medallion head of Wash
ington will be retained; but it will be
relieved with an open space of white,
the scroll-work viii have different
pattern. Altogether, the new stamp
will bear some resemblance to a stamu
of sixteen years ago, which most PEG
pie have forgotten. The white back.
ground is adopted in the hope that any
attempt to wash the stamp viii leave
this part irretrisEably spoiled.
