The following nnecdote of the late
Senator Nye is told by the Virginia City
(Ncv.) Enterprise:
"He was telling us incidents of a jour
ney to Europe, from which he had then
Just returned. Among the rest, he said
the sultan of Turkey ordered in his
honor, as q senator of the United States,
n grand review of the army in Constanti-
nople, and the grand vizier mounted
him upon steed which he described as
magnificent. Said Nye: He was q
pure Arabian. He had coat like vel
vet he felt like myriad of steel springs
beneath man his eye was between a
lions and woman's, with all the collr.
age of the one and all the human gentle
ness and beauty of the other blended
he knew I was an old man and was as
tender of me as q child. When l dis
mounted I could not refrain from ex-
pressing to the grand vizier my admira-
ton for the incompatible creature. He
heard me through an interpreter, and
then, bowling low, begged me to accept
the horse as mark of the profound re-
gard which the sultan entertained for
me- Did you accept him, senator {?
we asked. A peculiar look came into the
old mans eyes as he replied Il made a
rapid calculation anl saw that I had not
enough money, and could send to nc
place for enough money, to pay the
freight on the animal to New York, SO
took high ground. I bowed low in re,
turn to the grand vizier, and bade the
Interpreter explain to him that while
touched to the heart by this appreciation
and generosity Of the sultan, it was,
was sorry to say, against the laws of my
country for q senator of the United
States to accept n present from any for.
eign prince, potentate or power.

The Latest Sea Serpent Story.

The San Diego World says: A party
of Chinese fishermen caught sight OF
what is believed to be the veritable sea
serpent, out near the Coronado islands,
Yesterday. They were very much fright
ened, but describe the appearance of the
monster as follows: The body was about
fifty feet long, the head about ten feet,
and the tail at least one hundred feet.
The creature was moving very rapidly
southwark, its head elevated about six
feet from the water, and seemed to he
catching fish or seals, as it constantly
ducked it's head in the water, wh:cn was
quite calm, except in the wake of this
monster. When last seen it had turned
to the northward, rs though to go round
the island. It was Of brownish color
and apparently about three feet in di-
ameter. Captain Gus Gregory and Jack
Wall have chartered the Cuyamaca to 60
out on prospecting tour, as it is be-
ieved the serpent lives in the kelp out
side, where there is good feed for such
creatures. They place implicit faith in
the story Of the Cinnamon.

Thoughts for Saturday Night.
labors, come to naught.

Lingering labors> come to naught.
Dull not device by coldness and delay.
The steps of faith fall on the seeming
void, and find the rock beneath.
A cheerful face is nearly as good for an
invalid as healthy weather.
Though fame is smoke, its fumes are
frankincense to human thoughts.
He only is An acute observer who can
observe minutely without being OBJ
served.
Faith is the root of all good works. A
root that produces nothing is dead.
Let us fear the worst, but work with
faith the best will always take care of
itself.
The proper means of increasing the
love we bear our native country is to re-
side in foreign one.
Philosophy is modest profession; it
is MI reality and plain dealing. We hate
solemnity and pretence, with nothing
but pride at the bottom.
The pleasure of being master of ones
self and of ones passions should be bal
anced with that of controlling them; it
will rise above, if we know what is
liberty.
Perseverance merits neither blame nor
praise; it is only the duration of or in
clinations and sentiments, which we can
neither create nor exting1lish.
The most positive men are the most
credulous, since they most believe them
selves, and advise most with their falsest
fatterer and their worst enemy, their own
self-love.
Perseverance is one of the primitive
impulses of the human heart; one of the
indivisible primary faculties or senti-
ments which give direction to the char
acter of man.
Whenever you commend, add your
reasons for doing so; it is this which dis
tinguishes the appreciation of man of
sense from the fattery of sycophants and
admiration Of fools.
The love of country produces good
manners, and good manners also produce
the love of country. The less we satisfy
our particular passions, the more We
leave to our general.

the same Thomas Hutchins came as a
fortune teller into this town about n year
ago, with a recommendation which with
some artful falsehoods, induced Inc to
marry him. Of the four wives he had
before me, the last he quarreled away;
how the other three came by their deaths
he best can inform the public; but cau-
ton all widows or maidens against mar

ever so strong. Should he make his ad-

feeble, meager, hatchet-faced fellow with
spindle shanks, and little warped in the
back. THANKFUL HUTCHINs.

the approaching train-to tell them to
go on, for all was well. On to their
doom
She dashed across the railway track,
flung the reins to an amazed bystander,
and, striking the white lantern from
the hand of the astonished official, she
seized the ominous red lantern from its
hook, and springing upon the track,
waved it in the very teeth of the coming
train.
Two sharp, short whistles told her that
her signal was seen, and moment later
the train came to a stop, and the officers
rushed out to learn what it all meant.
Floss told them in few brief words,
and one of the men at the station went
forward to confer with the train from
Golosha, which had not yet been tele-
graphed from the next station beyond.
The man waited fifteen minutes before
Kirke's train slid on to the siding, and it
was then known that but for the decision
of one young girl, the two trains must
have collided four miles beyond Deer
ing's Cut.

day who confessed to have seen Jack
tampering with the time pieces in the
engine house thst night, but he had
thought nothing Of it, he said.
Jack? Oh, he left town, and was last
heard of in Australia. His little game
was not success.
A few months later, Kirke was married
to Floss Whately, for being ten minutes
behind time.

Niagara Suspension Bridge.

The Utica Herald says: The Suspen-
sion bridge over Niagara river was built
in 1S4S, by Roebling Of Trenton, n. J.:
It was the, first railroad bridge bnllt
over the Niagara river, and has a span OF
821 feet. Wire cables sustain the bridge
with stiffening of timber trussing, and
between the abutments are 600 tons OF
wood and 400 tons OF iron. The passage
Of an ordinary train, estimated to weigh
eighty tons, caused a DETECTION of Al
foot, of which it is estimated that .lS2
foot was due to the elongation OF the
cables. There are two floors, one nine
teen feet above the other, leaving clear
space of fifteen feet between them. The
lower one is used for vehicles and foot
passengers, and the upper one contains
the foot paths. The upper flooring is
245 feet over the surface Of the water.
Two cables support each roadway, four
in all, and all are connected, so that the
strain is distributed. -. -.
The cables are ten and half inches IN
diameter, and are composed Of. seven
strands Of $40 wires each, every wire cal

or 10, 900 tons in all. The upper cables
are brought, bymeans of braces, to with
in thirteen feet of each other at the CEN
ters and the suspenders incline inward,
to give a broader base to the structure
and insure stability. "A separate tower
supports each pair of cables. The upper
and lower floors are connected by wooden
posts in pairs five feet apart, with one
inch diagonal truss rods of wrought iron
passing from the top Of one pair to the
bottom of the fourth over space OF
twenty feet Oh each side, secured by
screw nuts to allow for shrinkage.
Diagonal wire stays extend from the top
of each tower to prevent vertical oscilla-
ton, and smaller stays attached to the
under side are anchored to the rocks
below. r..
The new bridge, nearer to the falls,
was completed in 1862 1t has span of
1,25O feet, and is sustained by two cables
about nine inches thick.

Hurrying to the Store.

During the last dull season a we'll
known Chicago merchant was observed
taking giant steps in the direction OF his
place of business at seven o'clock IN tho
morning. A rival tradesmsn, who was
we'll assured that large sales was not the
motive that induced this rapid transit,

and interviewed him as follows:
"What's broke loose, Charley? Where

"I'm going to the store.
"Trade must be active with you
"It's not trade that has called me

"It's not a woman, is it?"
"No; of course not. But I'll explain

As Bad as Burning,

The Hindoo widow, though no longer
burnt on the funeral pyre of her hus-
band, is subject to process for the rest
of her life which may sometimes cause
her to doubt whether her latter state is
really any better than that which British
law terminated. omatter how beautiful
the young widows tresses, they are
cropped off, all her ornaments are taken
away, the very notion of second
marriage regarded as worse than murder,
and the poor thing never permitted to
leave her room. This is simply the sub
stitute of imprisonment for life in place

The Revenge of Rain.in-the.Face.

In that deSolato lard and lone,
Where the Big Horn and Yellowstone
Roar down, their mountain path,
By their fires the Sioux chiefs
Mutterel their woes and griefs,
And the mt nice Of. f.their wrath.
Revenge" cried Rain-in-the-Face,
Revenge upon all the race
OF the white chief with yellow hair y
And the mountains dark and high
From their crags re-echoed the cry
Of his anger and despair.
Ia the meadow, spreading wide
BY woodland and river side
The Indian village stood:
All was silent as dream,
Save the rushing Of the stream
And the blue jay in the wood.
In his war paint and his beads,
Like bison among the reeds.
In ambush the Sitting Bull
Lay with three thousand braves
Crouched i'll the clefts and caves,
Savage, unmerciful,
Into the fatal snare
The white chief with yellow hair
And his three hundred men
Dashed headlong, sword in hand {;
But of that gallant band
Not one returned again.
The sudden darkness of death
Overwhelmed them, like the breath
And smoke Of furnace fire;
By the rivers bank, and between
The rocks of the ra,ine,
~ They lay in their bloody attire.
But the foeman fled in the night,
And Rain-in -thc-Face, in his fight,
, Uplifted high in air -
As ghastly trophy bore
The brave heart, that beat no more,
Of the white chief with yellow hair.
Whose was the right and the wrong?
Sing it, oh, funeral song!
With voice that is full of tears,
And say that our broken faith
Wrought all this ruin and seattle,
: In the Year of Hundred Years.

RAILROAD ACCIDENT.

One Killed and Many Seriously Injured.
q New YORK, Aug. 9.-The engine and four
cars, three being filed with passengers, on the
New Jersey Central road were thrown from
the drawbrIdge at Oceanport en- route to Long
water, which was fortunately shallow. More
than thirty were injured, few seriously and
one fatally. The cause of the accident is not
yet determined. Several of the passengers
say the draw was not quite closed, but the
engineer and other train officers think the
engine and baggage car were safely on the
draw before the train was thrown off and
attribute it to motion of the bridge,
Two of the passenger cars were thrown
down an embankment and the third fell plump
into the water. while the fourth became un-
coupled and remained standing on the track.
The third car contained fifty-five passengers.
When it fell into the creek the water was
waist high. There were many women and
children in the car, and their shrieks were
terrible to hear. With great difficulty some of
them were extricated.
