GLORIOUS LITTLE WOMAN.

Some five years since Harry Odgers,
miner from Truro, Cornwall, England,
arrived in this locality. Before leaving
home he loved certain lass, the only
daughter OF an inn-keeper, to whom he
proposed marriage, but was rejected I.
Two years ago Harry, who was en-
ployed at the Delaware mine, met with
an accident by which he lost his eye
sight. The news OF his terrible misfor-
tune didn't reach the ears OF his Truro
sweetheart until quite recently. She
thought OF the man who once told
her he loved her and her Woman's heart
SOttened. She wrote to friend
in KeWeenaw County, and in time got a
history of his condition and the sad
plight he was in on the distant shore OF
Lake Superior. The other evening a
quiet little woman arrived on the stage
from DAnse, and before many hours
SIZE was at the house where the blind
and manned miner was stopping. Sue

MODEL TENEMENT HOUSES.

The houses for working people, re-
Gently erected in London out of the Pea
body fund, have been mentioned in these
olumns, and we are glad to see that
practical move in the same direction
has been made in this country. Mr..
White, of Brooklyn, has recently been
erecting some model tenement houses in
that city. He described them at length
TO Committee Of the New York State
Cbkrities Aid Association, on Saturday.
Wf. White said the idea OF erecting these
improved dwellings for the industrial
classes was first suggested to him by
reading about the admirable ''industrial
dwellings" built in London by Sir Sid
ney H. Waterlow. He visited London
and inspected these buildings, and
also the Peabody dwellings and those
constructed under the supervision Of
the late Prince Albert. Mr.. White was
satisfied that such or similar houses
would not only be an immense improve
ment upon the dismal tenements of
American cities, but that the building
Of them would be a successful business
investment. In order to demonstrate
this, he bought large plot of ground on
the corner Of Hicks and Baltic streets,
Brooklyn, five minutes walk from the
South Ferry. The building is one hum
dred and five feet in length and SIX sto-
ries high. Each floor contains eight
dwellings, running through the entire
depth. Each dwelling has four rooms,
thoroughly ventilated and admitting
abundance of sunlight. There are
no inside stairs. Access to the up
per stories is had by stairways on
the front of the building, with balcony
for each floor, and perfectly fre-proof
Each dwelling is entirely apart from the
others, with all the appointments of
modern private house. The water sup
ply for each family is ample and per-
fectly protected from frost. No ashes
nave to be carried out; everything OF the
nature Of ashes, sweepings or garbage,
after heinz burned, is precipitated

EARN AND LEARN.
RS bench

A young man stood by q joiner's bench
Flung chis3l and maui away,
And cheerily cried to his wife, "Dear wench,
Pve labored enough to-day.
Lay down your knitting and sit by my side,
PHI sing you song to-nignJ,
While the SHADOWS are falling at eventtde,
And the log ON the hearth burns bright.
There's time TO work anu time u earn,
A time to rest aud time to learn.
"Tis not song OF wassail or war,
A song of women or wine:
A godlier song, trow, by far,
Shall be this song Of NINE
For him that labors with muscle and bone,
Or labors with brain and skill,
For the Queen that sits ON her stately throne,
Or the lass that works at the mill
A song the good will Of all to earn,
For every man and woman to learn.
All have need to earn;
Rich anu poor and peasant and peer,
All have need to learn.
The poor man earns his daily bread,
The rich man power and name,
The statesman to stand at a nations head,
The scholar glorious fame.
Each child of Adam was born to earn,
This is the lesson we all must learn.
"None so dull that he NAV not know

FEARFUL ADVENTURE ON THE RAIL.
Maniac MOnOpOIizes Car on the Central
Pacific Road.


Pacific Road.
The San Francisco Chronicle furnishes
the particulars of an event which liter
ally converted an eastWard-bound over
land train into a perambulating hell on
wheels. The story, in brief, is TO the
| following effect: In the makeup of the
train which left san Francisco on the
l7th ult were two Pullman sleeping
| cars. The larger proportion of passen-
gers occupying the Pullmans were
women and children, aud all expected
to enjoy pleasant and comfortable
jaunt across the continent.
On the second day out the general
serenity was disturbed by the develop
ment OF q malignant malady on board.
The victim was the representative Of
San Francisco house, u large and power
ful man, who had drank himself into q
state oil delirium tremens. The maniac
startled the passengers by giving utter.
ance to terrible snrieks and impreca.
tions, al the same time rushing back
and forth through the car. The greatest
CONSERVATION prevailed, aud two ladies,
at least, were seriously affected by the
violence of the madman. lie was finally
secured In one end Of the car, while the
women and children were crowded into
the other end. Not soul slept through
the night. r...
His rawlings were incessant, and it
was feared that he might regain his lib
erty and commit murder. When tue
train reached Ogden the arrangement
OF the untortune man had greatly in
creased. At this point the females and
children were crowded into the rear
sleeping. car, while the other was con-
verted into a lunattc asylum, aud care
fully guarded by male passengers.
After leaving Ogden his suferings were
terrible. He frothed and bled at the |
mouth, while continuous spasms shook |
his powerful frame.
The second day out from Ogden be be-
came more quiet, and under the: belief |
that he was getting better, his watch
ers, needing rest, LETT him in charge Of a
single person. Shortly after daylight |
he suddenly sprang up and dashed |
through q window. The engine was re-
Yersed and the train ran back, all ex-
pecting to ind the lifeIess body of the |
maniac. He had fallen, however, where
the snow was deep and soft, and his es-
cape from immediate death thereby pre-
vented. He was able to raise himself
and stagger toward the approaching
train, his eyes glaring wildly and blood |
ooZlng from has nose ana mouth. He
was again taken on board by kind hands
but the belief prevailed that he could |
not survive t. the journeys end.

that the American mechanic is supe-

pays this very high compliment to Amer

AnchOring q Horse.

They tell a good story on an old mari
ner who keeps a little hotel down here,
writes a correspondent from Coney
Island, New York's celebrated seaside
resort. His wife was very anxious to
have a horse, an animal in which the old
gentleman took but little stock, and the
old lady finally won her point and got
her horse. The steed was of an cratic
and playful disposition, and used, on
the least provocation, to tear madly
along the beach, and succeeded in spill
ing the old lady out several times. At
last the captain, who had never driven the
beast, volunteered to break him of his
vicious habit, so getting another old salt
to assist him, he procured a kedge an
Choir with a stout line attached. Fasten.
ing the end of the line around the
axle, and putting the anchor in the
wagon, the fiery, untamed was
hitched up, and the two old gents
started out for a drive along the shore.
Soon the vivacious charger espied some
thing which gave him an excuse to run
away, and immediately dashed off with
frightful velocity. The captain dropped
the reins and summoned all hands to
"let go the anchor" The anchor was
let 90 and caught firmly in the sand.
The unsuspecting q%uadruped pranced
joyously along until he got to the end of
the rope, and then he paused-paused
so suddenly that the wagon was demol.
ished, and the two old gentlemen shot
up into the air like o couple of sky
rockets, coming down in q fearfully d.
lapidated condition. The captain after
ward said that he knew it would break
the horse, but he didn't suppose it was
going to break him.

Snoring.

DR.. John Wyeth is entitled to the
gratitude OF all who are afflicted with the
habit of snoring for the simple device he
has contrived to counteract the tendency.
The apparatus is described by him in the
Popular Science Monthly, and an ex-
PLANTATION is at the anne time given OF
the cause of snoring. In the act of
breathing, the air may travel to and from
the lungs through the channels of the
mouth or nose. Both channels unite in
q common cavity just below the soft
palate, which is attached by n end to
the hard palate or bone forming the roof
of the mouth and the floor of the nose.
The other end of the soft palate hangs
loose, and is moved by the currents OF
air passing in and out of the lungs as q
window.curtain is tapped by the breeze.
If the air passes through the nose alone,
the end Of the palate is pressed gently
down upon the tongue 80 as to lessen the
movement or vibration, and no sound is
heard. But if the mouth as well as the
nose be open, so that two currents of ali
pass in and out together during the act
of breathing, the soft palate is thrown
into rapid and sonorous vibration, and
what We call snoring is the result: II
follows that the remedy for snoring is to
keep the month shut, and admit the all
to the lungs only through the channel Of
the nose. This can be affected bymeana
of a simple esp fitting the head snugly,
and united by an elastic band, near the
ear on each side to a>cap OF soft material
fitting the chin.

PROCLAMATION.
The completed circle of summer and winter
seed time and harvest has brought MS to the
accustomed season at which q religious people
celebrates with praise and Thanksgiving the
and public confession Of the constant depend
ence Of man upon the Divine Father for all
good gifts Of life and health and peace and
happiness, 30 early in our history made the
habit Of our people, finds In survey Of the past
year new grounds for its joyful and grateful
manifestation. In all blessings which depend
upon benignant seasons, this has, indeed, been
o memorable year.
Over the wide territory Of our country, with
all its diversity Of soil and climate and pro-
ducts, the earth has yielded q bountiful return
to the labor of the ~husbandmsn. The health
Of the people has been blighted byno prevalent
or widespread diseases. No great disasters Of
shipwreck upon our coasts OF to our m
on the seas have brought loss and hardships
to merchants or mariners and clouded the hap
piness Of the community with sympathetic
sorrow. In all that concerns our strength and
peace and greatness as a nation; in sll that
touches the permanence and security of our
government and the benefcent institutions IN
which it rests; in all that affects the character
and dispositions Of our people and testa our
capacity to enjoy and uphold the equal and free
condition Of society now permanent and
universal throughout the land, the experience
Of the last year is conspicuously marked ythe
protecting providence Of God, and is full Of
promise and hope for the coming genera
tons. pr
Under q sense Of these infinite obligations TO
the Great Ruler Of times and seasons and
events, let us humbly ascribe it to our own
faults and frailtiesif in any degree that perfect
concord and happiness, peace and Justice,
which such greatmercies should diRuse through
gether and always and everywhe:e Q prevail. Let
US with one spirit and with one voice Lift up
praise and Thanksgiving to God for His mani
fold goodness to our land and His manifold
care for our nation.
Now, therefore, I, Rutherford B. Hayes,
President Of tho United States, do appoint
Thursday, the goth day Of November next, as q
day Of national thanksgiving and prayer, and I
earnestly recommend that, Withdrawing them
selves from secular cares and labors, the people
Of the United States do meet together on that
day in their respective places Of worship, there
to give thanks and praise to Almighty God for
His mercies and to devoutly beseech their con-
tinuance. " 90.
In witness whereof I have herernto set my
hand and caused the seal Of the United States
to be affixed.
Done at the city Of Washington this goth day Of
October, In the year Of our Lord ose thousand
eight hundred and ~seyenty-seven and of the
independence of the United States the one
hundred and second. "
