"IN the Indian rhinoceros," says the
London Nature, "tho posterior termin.
alton of the bony nostrils (the mesop.
terygoid fossa) is considerably narrower
than in the Javan species, at the same
time that the vomer terminates behind
by becoming lost, through fusion, in the
pterygoid processes, instead of ending
free, lamelliform and pointed. There is
an interesting difference between the
skulls of the single and double-horned
rhinoceroses, the external auditory mea-
tus being embraced below by the fusion
of the postglenoid and post temporal
processes of the squamosal portion of
the temporal bone in the one group"
Exactly; this explanation supplies the
intelligence for which the scientific
mind has long been hungering.

A locomotives Run Before an Ava.
lanche Of Snow.

A correspondent of the San Francisco
Chronicle says: 1t was four years ago last
winter, was coming down with a train
loaded with cattle. The weather had
been bad for weeks, and the snow lay
deep, but was melting off fast in the
warm weather that had lasted nearly q
week. The ground was saturated, and
noticed that things looked shaky on the
mountain. was feeling my way along
carefully, thinking the track might
spring, as the bed was wet and sloppy,
when, just as l got around the point of
this ridge, looked up, and it seemed to
me that the whole mountain above me
had broken loose. For hundreds of feet
wide the hillside was in motion and
charging down on me like lightning.
Rocks, trees, and snowdrifts plunged
down the face of the mountain with a
laundering roar, and seemed bent on
overwhelming us and burying us in the
canyon, thousands of feet below. l was
never 20 close to death before, although
l have had my share of perils on the
road. For a moment l was stupefed,
the danger was great, and escape hope
less, but only for moment. / deter
mined not to die without an effort, but
clapped on all steam while the brakes
were thrown off at the same time. You
can see for yourself that the grade is very
heavy here, and can believe that we made
fast time. The engine seemed to know
her danger and to gather herself for an
effort. She leaped quiveripg and snort
ing down the grade in the maddest race
l ever saw. Down came the avalanche
like lightning directly upon us, throw
ing up clouds of flying snow aud splinters
and rock, and away flew the old engine
like thing of life and beauty, as she
was, dragging the cars like the wind
down the graue after her, abreast the
slide. But it seemed doomed to be all
in vain. The avalanche came faster
every moment. 1t was almost upon U.S.
The rocks began to bound upon the cars
and over them; the wheels seemed never
TO touch the rails, and just as was Civ
ing up hope the engine rushed past that
little point of land just back there where
the little ravine comes down. This
turned the current Of the slide, so to
speak, little, and this was our saliva
ton. The engine rushed past the point
just as the slide reached the track, and a |
big pine, uprooted in the edge of the |
avalanche, fell across the next car to the
last one and crushed it. The track was
swept away like cobweb i'm a
gale, the couplings of the car broke,
and the cars fell into the chasm left in
The wake of the slide, and were carried
Down to the river, a thousand yards be-
ow. What there is lett of them lies
here yet. The jerk made the engine
Ind train jump the track, but she kept
IN her feet, and We got off with a few
bruises. That / account one of the
!reatest dangers ever met in my twenty
ears of railrOading.

Obituary.
From the Christian Advocate. I

From the Christian Advocate.
MRS. ANN SHAPARD was born in
Mau:y county, Tenn, and died in Flor
! ence, Ala, Dec 2nd, 1876. Her maiden
name was Jennings. She was married
twice. Her first husband was Major
Leftwich, the brother of Mrs. Judge
Wood. Her last was Mr.. Shapard, of
Pulaski, Tenn, who died several years
since. During the life of her first hus-
band she was member of the Cumber-
land esbyterian Church. She after
ward joined the Methodist Church, her
last husband being of that communion.
In all the relations of life she was faith
full, and filled up the measure of her
days in deeds of mercy and kindness
She was not one to make display. She
sought rather the happiness resulting
from good actions than the approval of
the public. She was unassuming, timid
and retiring. While she was seldom
seen among the gay and public, she was
frequently found in the house of MOURN
ing, associated with grief, and by the
bedside of the suffering and dying
Hers was life of self sacrifice spent in
devotion to the happiness of others
For many years the ministers of the gos-
pei found her house welcome home,
and many of them will call TO grateful
remembrance her many acts OF kind
ness. Human existence is not to be
measured by what it appears to be, but
what it really is. The judgment of the
world is more frequently at fault than
correct in its estimate of character. The
pomp of wealth, the glare of fashion, re-
ceive the worlds homage and unstintcd
applause. The humble Christian fol-
lowing in the footsteps of his Master Is
passed in silence by. The first of these
perish and leave no substantial benefit.
The other is the worlds benefactor and
leaves his impress upon his age, and up
on the solid foundation OF piety erects a
building that is eternal. The garb of
Christianity is more frequently sack
cloth than purple and fine lincn--shown
in the meek and quiet spirit, rather than
in parade and self-assertion. The hum
bic, devoted, self sacrificing life of sister
is grander than the pomp OF
wealth or the civic honors of the great. !
The Bible teaches that "OuF works do |
follow u.s." How sweet, then, when the |
saint reaches the other shore, to meet |
his deeds of mercy and acts of kindness. |
We are rewarded according to our |
works. If this be true the subject OF this |
notice will occupy no humble seat in the !
mansion of the best" Sister Shapard |

Two young gentlemen, both
named Jeems, both boarding at the
Alamo, called at Martin College
last Thursday evening upon the
young ladies. 1t always makes us
hungry to look at pretty lady, and
we suppose it did them, for they
talked only about pies and cakes.
When they left they promised the
ladies TO send them some Alamo pie
at dinner next day; and so they did,
nice plateful of elegant, delicious
pie. The boy who carried it waited
three hours for a note of thanks
and the plate, and then returned
without them. Jeems and Jeems
are greatly perplexed over the loss
of the plate. Gasl

LET THERE BE LIGHT!
Pulaski's OPPORTUNITY
the People Have Gas or
the Deadly Coal Oil?

j. b. McDonohongh d Co., Gin
cinnati, Gas Work Builders, have
made q proposition to Pulaski that
will secure the early erection oil
gas works for our town if accepted.
They submit written proposition,
binding themselves to furnish gas
at an early day upon condition that
the city will take thirty gas posts
for the streets at $50 each per year
for ten years. Citizens can take as
much and as little stock as they
wish, as tue Company is plenty able
to build the works without assis-
lance. They built the Chattanooga
and Murfreesboro works, and have
built them all over the country, and
they have made money for them
selves, for the stockholders and the
people everywhere. They build
the works and get them upon pay
ing basis, and the stock readily sells.
The only object they have in getting
limited amount of stock taken at
once is TO have resident parties in
terested in it so that a Board of
Directors may be formed of our
own citizens for its management.
The gas works erected at the depot
two years ago will be utilized, if the
parties can trade; if not, new ones
will be built The opportunity thus
afforded is certain, admits of no
doubt, and is positive in its terms.
The only question is, will the
Board of Aldermen guarantee the
taking of thirty posts as proposed.
The Board helo a meeting Satui day
and heard the proposition, but not
withstq nding every member present
was in favor of accepting it, they
did not do so, and will not until
they have heard the people talk and
know that is their will that it should !
be accepted. That is right, and |
now it devolves upon the people to
let their will be known. 5000 a |
year looks like pretty big figures
for street lights, but that is not all
Of the question. If the town does
not take these lights, then the whole
thing stops. If the town does take
them, then we have all the advanta-
ges of gas-light, get rid of the dan
gers of coal oil, and get reduction
in the insurance upon our store
houses and dwellings that will near
y pay for the posts. Can there be

The horrible dangers of coal oil

The NJ ask Ball.

The Mask Ball at Antoinette
Hall last Thursday night was the
| finest affair of the kind ever witness
ed or enjoyed in Pulaski. The
Hall was crowded with maskers
representing numerous characters
in history, poetry, play and magma
tion-gay, beautiful, sentimental,
ludicrous, frightful, side splitting
every phase of character was pre-
sented, making the aspect interest
ing, amusing and impressive. The
maskers were met at the door,
the gentlemen and ladies separated
and conducted to dressing-rooms,
their names listed, etc. The band,
seated upon the stage, raised tune,
the janitor raised the curtain and
the Herald raised his voice and told
the spectators to stand still and
witness. The door upon the stage
was thrown open and in rushed a
band of wild Indians, bowling terri
bly, and merrily bounding from the
stage wheI they went through with
the wild jesticulations and fearful
contortions of war dance, done up
in the latest heather style. When
the dance was finished and the vic
tim slain, the Herald dispersed
them to their wig-wam. Then the
scene changed from the Lava Beds
to civilization. A lady and gentle
man were picked indiscriminately
from the ante-room and paired, the
Herald brought them TO the foot
lights and introduced them to the
delighted audience, and they
stepped from the stage and took
position upon the floor. This was
repeated until all the maskers were
introduced and had taken position,
when music was commanded and
the grand initiatory dance was exc
cuted. The fun then commenced
and lasted until a late hour. We
might particularlize five would, but
we prefer not TO make one-half the
maskers mad by forgetting to no
tice them and the other half mad BY
not sufficiently describing them.
Some Of the masks were resplend-
emily beautiful and costly, and they
were all we'll gotten up, indicating
much time, trouble and money
spent in their preparation. Not a
syllable was uttered indecorously,
as far as we can learn, ard every act
of the maskers was deliGately de-
cent, indicating clearly that the
masks hid only the faces of ladies
and gentlemen. We are glad to say
that it was so admirably conducted,
and glad to declare upon the au
thority of gentlemen who have at
tended the like in other and many
cities that this eclipsed all. Gasl

Who ever heard of a mask ball
without a Dhude-ic Roddle, Sir Fall
Johnstaff, Julius Kaisar, Josh Bill

did not have any of these last week,
but some of the characters were as
notable. Messrs. Kick E. Roe and

also Lieut.. 'Fraid of his sister-in-

Gus, as Count Sart o. Ris, Count

Our Trade in Danger.

The people toward Cornersville

Lewisburg, but the time is nearly
here that they will be compelled
from interest to- do so. The rail
road will shortly be finished to Lew
isburg, and she has pike running
eight miles in this direction. The
ten miles at this end is almost i'm
passable. Brick church and Cor
nersville people have made over
ture after overture, appeal after ap-
peal, to Pulaski to help them build
pike to town. We sat still and
lost Cornersville and the richest
slice of our territory. They come
now and appeal and beg our mer-
chants and citizens to help them
build passable road to town. The
indications are that we will sit still
and see our trade transferred to
Lewisburg and Columbia, and then
