The most remarkable railroad
accident on record happened
not long ago on the Northwest
ern road between London and
Liverpool. A man and his wife
were travelling in a compartment
alone, when, the train going at
the rate of sixty miles an hour,
an iron rail projecting from a
car on a side track cut into the
carriage and took the head of
the woman clear off and rolled
it into the husbands lap. He
subsequently sued the compa-
NY for damages, and created
great surprise in court by Civ
ing his. age as thirty-six years,
although his hair was snow
white. 1t had been turned from
Jet black by the horror of that
event.

ON THE DEATH OF AN INFANT.
DY JESSIE rERousoN pnowNE.

DY JESSIE FERGUSON BROWNE.
Oh, thou sweet inmate of the tomb,
From earthly scenes Withdrawn
Thy guiieless spiritseeks its doom,
Where radiant glories dawn;
Where Heaven unfolds her pearly gates,
And joys elysian reign;
What bliss the unsulied awaits,
So free from every stain
Who're sin leaves no unsishtly trace,
TO mar so pure shrine;
Arrayed in robes of sanity grace,
The vSstHre most divine;
Oh. thoG fair being, formed of light,
To grace those courts above;
What radiant seTaph there more bright,
That shares Sayiour's love?
How blesil beyond expression blest,
The Leirs OF Heaven must be;
Elysian bowers Of bTssful rest,
How meet, for such as thee;
Where soft symphonious music flows,
That breagheS of love divine;
or joys that only Heaven bestOws,
Thou blest one, these are thine.
All. who would e'er recall thee here,
TO share these scenes Of gloom;
Whose fcweIy Paths, heweyer fair,
But lead us to the tomb;
The rowing meteoi's transient gleam,
The zephvr's softest sigh;
TIL ethereal essence Of dream,
The flowers tLat opening die.
How like TO thee! thou fragile one,
These transient things appear;
How fair the life thou hadst begun,
And yet more frail than fair.
Bright, tiny blossom OF a day,
So beautiful, so brief;
A lovely vision borne away.
Unscathed by care or grief.
'Twerc almost sin to weep for thee,
Tho scarce may we refrain;
O, blessed hope. we yet may see,
Our loved and lost again;
Soon, soon, may each be called above,
70 share thy sanity rest;
Blest with Saviour's precious love,
Oh, how supremeiy blest.

Champion. Great taste has
been shown in the way Of rail-
lings, carpets, signs, ETC., and
the tout ensemble.
While in the French Depart
ment of Agriculture, / was
much interested in an exhibit
for fattening poultry by MA
chinery. The hens and cocks
were arranged in little stalls, a.
bout ten inches square, with
their heads towards the open
front and their feet haltered to
the floor, in a way to prevent
their turning round. The at
tendant passes in front of the
stalls, seized the unhappy bird
by the nape of the neck, inser-
ted a tube, to which was attached
a long hose, into its mouth,
pressed upon a peddle with her
foot, and a graduated quantity
of food was forced into the stom-
ach of the bird. They took
their nourishment very much
as a boy would take medicine.
The food is composed of a
ground mixture of corn, rye,
barley, milk and water; and
while it may not accord with
the American idea OF chicken
rights to make a rooster eat
whether he wants to or not, it
cannot be denied that this regi-
men makes him much more de-
sirable to be eaten. | have no.
where else tasted such sweet,
juicy chicken as they have here.
About the morality of this
system there may also be some
question, and / doubt if it could
be obtained in a country blessed
with Bergh. 1t certainly di-
vests chicken life of much of
its romance. They must de-
vote their lives exclusively to
the ignoble, unheroic business
of getting fat. No growing,
and cackling, and nest hiding in
out of the way places in barns,
or hatching,or scratching for the
early worm in gardens or on an
cestral dung-hills for them In
deed, these people, who it is
said have no word for homo,
have done much to divest the
lives of chickens of hallowed
and homelike associations. They
are Matched in steam incubators
and the velyety little birds new
er know the sheltering arms of
the old hen, but they are pro-
tccted in flannel lined drawers.
However, the French society
for the protection of animals
has pronounced in favor of the
above described method of fat
tening, while the company that
has it on exhibition have also
paintings to represent the bar
barous practices commonly in
vogue. One represents a boy
with his foot on the toes of Il
chicken, stretching lis neck with
his left hand, while lie admins
ters food through funnel held
in his right hand. In the 9TH
er boy has filled his own
mouth with the food and apply
ing it to the distended mouth
of the chicken, is feeding it in
the way that pigeons feed their
young. G. A. S.

There has been quite an influx Of stock
sharps from Frisco. the Comstock and the
camps around about Of late, and as the
most Of 'em hadn't the money, 'get up"
or some other impulsive agent to get them
on to the ground Of our bonanzas, they
have been content to climb Mob Hill, and
with a misty view Of Prospect Mountain
managed to concoct ..points,' something
after this style, to telegraph their friends:
"Buv Wasp; pinched nearly out in the
middle, but the latter end is bound 10 be
lively" Yesterday two Of this class were
pacing up Spring street when they discoy-
cred a tunnel leading into the mountain on
the cast side Of the gulch. Men were at
work, and with note book in hand they
bounced the first ''whcelbarrow fiend" for
a true statement Of this ''find." The labor
er told 'em that this was where the Rich
mond got all their ore from; gave 'em a
chunk Of sandstone with a black streak
through it, with the information that the
dark portion was chloride of silver, and
away they went to the Parker House to
''write the Richmond up"
Sure enough there is a tunnel up there,
and it will open up a chamber Of inesti-
mable wealth to our citizens-in this way:
that it will be q store house where beer
will acquire the age that makes it healthy
and delicious.
Thousands through Nevada know Caspar
Schmidt as a man who can't be beat in the
manufacture Of beer; he has no equal; he
is q successful rival in quality to any Of
the noted manufactures. Schmidt aud

prise that is bound to become popular.
For a location suitable for an extensive
brewery, cellars, beer garden, ETC., they
have fixed upon o site facing Spring n
near Silver street. With IS feet on Spring
and running 800 feet back in the noun
tain they have all the ground necessary.
The 125x75 feet front is now being graded
for the boiler, vat. grain and bar build
ings, and also for n garden. A tunnel is now
in upward of 40 feet, and will be 80 feet
long when finished. This tunnel, through
sandstone, is TO open into a chamber 100
feet deep by 40 in width, and from the
watts pipes will convey the beer to the casks
within the chamber. On the property is a
fine spring. and the water will be con-
t~inually running in and out Of this room
in the mountain. Right in that place Mr..
Mendes proposes to give tho beer they man
ufacture the age that makes it palatable.
They will start with a 703-gallon boiler,
and from present indications they will not
be long in getting to work Not only will
these gentlemen manufacture and offer to
the country about a first-class quality of
beer, but it will be a cool and pleasant
retreat, where convivial souls can while
away an hour happily.

Railroad, and sat ON the Courthouse steps

cellent length OF legs, and she a coy maiden
with sixteen auburn curls hanging down
about her neck. They had scarcely settled
themselves and locked fingers when she
cautiously observed

II 'spose,' he replied, ''but the last thing
afore we started / promised your mother
not to let YOU drink any soda-water. It's

She was quiet for a moment, and then,
pointing to the left, remarked

What They Think In Reno.

A correspondent Of the Virginia Chron-
icte, writing from Reno, says:
Hagerman stock is as good as Sierra Ne
vada here. If he gets the nomination he
will carry an immense vote in Washoe. !
hope with all my heart that he will be our
candidate, for he would be sure of the sup
port of a good many Republicans. He is
very popular with ali classes, for he is un-
mistakably q man Of the pcople-a hard
working, plain and straightforward man,
with no nonsense about him. Besides this,
he is oac'of the hest read men in the State,
and has a good independent head on his
shoulders. If Hagerman gets to be Gov
ernor of Nevada he will fill the Office with
dignity, for. in addition to his other good
qualities, he is a gentleman, and has the
manners and brains of one. Tho Lyon
county business does not, it appears, both
er Hagerman much. l learn from one Of
his near friends that he looked npon the
battle there as between Adams and Blcn-
nerhassett, and without particular bearing
upon his own case. He has not only
Washoe, but Ormsby as well, solid for him,
and l believe he is justified in expecting
that Eureka, and most OF the east will
stand in. Hagerman is spending no money
in his fight. which i'll itself shows him to
be an honest man.
