The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania has
decided case of interest to travellers on
highways which are crossed by railroad
tracks-the case of Shultz against the Penn
sylvania railroad company:
''Iu this case the train of defendant was
passing through village at the rate of TWEEN
five miles an hour, and the signal required
by statute was not given when it approach
ell the crossing. Plaintiffs intestate that
is he person for whose death the suit for
damages was brought was appros ching the
crossing at the rate OF twelve miles an hour,
in a covered carriage, and he Stacked up
but did not stop before going on the track
The court held that defendant was entitled
to nonsuit The court says that the i'm.
proper speed of defendants train, inexcus-
able as it was, had its counterpart in the in
excusable speed with which the deceased en-
tered upon the track. The opinion concludes
thus Nevertheless, the frequent recurrence
of such accidents, resulting in the loss of
life, loudly demands legislation, at least in
Pennsylvania TO protect the lives of persons
both in the ira in and on the roadway"
In a broad public sense, the New York
Post thinks, the nevertheless is the most
important part of the case. 1t is manifest
that some means should be contrived either
for sinking the railroad or the highway or
in some way absolutely preventing train
and traveller from moving on or across the
track or the highway at the same time.
When it becomes question of speed be-
tween the train and the lrsveller-it is time
for the Legislature To interfere. The mis-
called accident" on Atlantic Avenue, Brook
lyn, on which occasion train of cars ran
into funeral train of carriages, is inslanced
as case in poiat.

WHEN THE WOODS TURN BROWN.
BY LUCY LARCOM.
How Will II be when the roses fade
out of the garden and out of the glade7
When the fresh pink bloom Of the sweet-brier wild
That leans from the dell like the cheek OF a child
Is changed for dry hips on q thorny bush p
Then, scarlet and carmine, the groves viii flush.
How Will II be when the autumn flowers
Wlther away from their eailess bowers;
When sun-iower and star flower and golden-rod
Gllmmer no more frcm the frosted sod
And the hill side nooks are empty and cold ?
Then the forest-tops win be gay with gold.
How win It be when the woods turn brown,
Their gold and their crimson all dropped down.
And crumbled to dlst?-
q then, as we lay
our ear to Earths lips, We shall hear her say,
"In the dark am seeking gems for my crown =
We Will dream of green leaves, when the woods turn
brown.

Remarkable SiUintnaing.


One of the most remarkable escapades of
modern times is that of Henry Johnston of
Clay county, who made a swim over the
Missouri river from Kansas City to Harlem.
1t was the reckless and daring event of the
age. The Missouri river opposite that ciiy
is about half a mile in width and is quite
rapid, iuasmuch as it whirls rapidly against
the rocky bluffs at this point after having
rolled resistlessly on from tie mountains
two thousand miles above. 1t is one of the
worst curves ia the river and one of the
last places which could be selected TO ferry
the river on horseback.
1t was about midnight when tie stranger
rode down to the river bank near the
bridge. He was full of whisky and quite
loud in his exclama:ious of disappointment
when he was informed that the ferry boat
was not running.
lie rode from the bridge to a point on
the river just above the first pier, and
plunged into the current of the Missouri
river opposite Broadway. 1t was not dark,
for the moon was visible, and the shouts
of the reckless horseman as he urged on
his horse, attracted the police and the
night watchman. The current was so ra-
p.d that the horse and rider made little
progress across the river until after the
crib of the swinging pan had been passed.
/ There was nothing to be seen except the
head Of the horse and the head and shout
ders of the reckless rider-these could be
seen on the surface of the current as it
| hoated by. The horse and rider disap
| peared from this side long before any no
tice was received that either had reached
the Clay coun,y shore. But blood will
tell" and the mettle of Johnston's horse
saved its drunken masters life.
About | o'clock Harlem was aroused by
/ cries fOI help on the river bank nearly op-
! pOsite the school house. a man and horse
were mired in the mud on the river bank,
and help was wanted. The river bank at
that point is a slough of mud just now,
! and the tired horse and its sobered rider
were helpless and waiting for assistance.
/ Horses and ropes were brought, and, with
/ a united effort of the citizens of Harlem,
! the reckless horseman and his brave ami
/ NAL were taken from the river. 1t is the
| worst case of me ntal abbeTrati0n on record.
! Johnston IS at home, under care of his
! friends, but he will live in history the
man who swan the Missouri river in mid
! winter on horseback.

MIR. James Knox, young man of the

REMARKABLE { CRIME.-Tbe secret of a
remarkable murder was recenl disclosed
in a medical lecture delivered in London nv
the EN- neut DIR. Bucknill. In discussing
the legal relations Of insanity he remarked
that the most singular case in which he had
ever been concerned was that Of Constance
Kent, who murdered her young brother
aud escaped detection. After an interval
OF several years truly conscientious motive
led her TO confess, and Dr. Buckhil ex-
amined her for the purpose Of ascertaininR
whether it would be right to enter the
plea Of mot guilty on the ground of in
sanity lie was compelled to advise

the experts could not do otherwise. By
her own iSh he published a letter ia
which the material facts Of the crime were
described, but As the motive was not dis
closed the case was still enveloped in
mystery for how could a youne giil who
was not insane. have murdered her beauti-

NEVER MARRY A MAN Who DRINKS. -
The writer who said that, said all in a few
words. 1t is a motto every girl might have
written upon the wall of the peaceful little
chamber where she dreams and often
makes up her mind to marry the dear,
good fellow" whose only fault is taking a
glass too much now aud then, aud reform
him after marriage.
1t is all the more necessary that it should
be written there, because the men who
''drink' are by no means the worst men IN
the world We know that generous, warm
hearted men, men of intellect and men OF
power, have found the temptation too hard
to withstand, and that mauy man, other
wise contemplate and wicked, has never
bad "a glass too much in his life; altho.
it is also true that, under the lnhnence OF
liduor, men have done deeds, the very
Thought of which would sicken their
souls.
If only all men who dring were desplca-
BILE in all other respects, there would be
little need of the warning but as It is let
every girl remember it, let every mothe {
! whisper it. Whatever his charms or his
natural virtues may be, no woman can ne
happy with drunkard. And he who
would not give up drink for bis sweet
hearts sake will never give it up 10 please
his wife.
If anything can check man in his ca,
reer of dissipation, it will be the oreau y,
losing the girl he loves. Say, II ou sna:'
never have me unless you forsake the DOT
tle," and you may conquer him. Falllng
| in that ali your wifely tears would fall al
so. Don't marry him. Better weep over
your dead hopes, aud go single 10 your
| grave, than suffer what a drunkard makes
| his wife suffer. Never marry man VINO

JAPANESE IDEA OF HELL.-One of the
curious articles exhibited at Tiffany's is a
scarf of gray Canton Grape, which portrays
the Internal reg ions, according to the ia
panese idea. The scarf is nine yards long
and half yard wide. The first scene rep
resents Satan On earth seeking new victims.
The arch fieud appears as n sulphuric, yel-
lowish- green demon, with protruding hOIns,
cloven feet, and demoniacal expression,
Turing his victims into his net and plung-
ing them into fiery depths. They appear
to fall into a nest of burning scorpions,
where they are tautalized by glimpse of
tn cir friends enjoying themselves in a lake
of cool water. In the next scene, Satan
takes the form of an immense dragon, with
his human victims crouching in terror at
his feet. They are merciesSly dragged
into court, and the Judge is represented as
condemniug them to be tied TO racks and
TO have red-hot lead poured down their
throats. They are then chased by hyenas
through field of open knives and other
sharp Instruments, The victims are next
portrayed as being tortured 10y having their
limbs sawn off and by being shrown into a
revolving wheel of fire. Satan next ap-
pears to be looking out for new victims on
a field of battle. Some of these victims are
made to hug red hot stove pipes, while Sa-
tan himself, with a smile, is fanIing them.
Others are swimming in seas of blood sur
rounded by laughing demons. Others still
are seated in a caldron of red-h sulphur,
having their tongues pulled out. Some are
represented as carrying heavy burdens of
coal and throwing it into the fire to burn
new victims. His Satanic Majesty is next
represented as feeding his subjects with
rice, presumably to give them Strength
with which to endure greater fortunes. -
