G0ENG TO DINNER IN A HOSPITAL
SYRETCEEEEs.

An incident recently occurred at Alder
shot, says the London Vanity Fair, which
shows the urgent necessity there is for in
creasng the number of stretchers and sick
bearers in the army. The officers of a
certain distinguished regiment were to en-
tertain large party of guests at dinner
The day had been wet, and the ground
was, in consequence, deep in mud. Just
before mess, the sky cleared, and q small
group of officers assembled outside of the
mess house door, to enjoy for few mo-
ments the fine evening. They observed
approaching them hospital stretcher, car
riod by four stalwart privates of the First
Battalion Grenadier Guards. One of the
group of officers, thinking that possibly
these men, being strangers to Aldershot,
might be making mistake as to locality,
shouted out:
"You are wrong, my men. This is the
hospital"
The bearers of the stretcher stolidly con-
tinued their advance, and, to the great sur
prise of the group, the occupant of the
stretcher turned out to be, not an invalid,
as they supposed, but a certain distin-
guished field officer of the Guards who
was expected as guest. This gentleman,
who is well known to be most particular as
to his personal appearance, fearing to soil
his vanished boots, and not caring to take
cab for SO short distance, had impro-
vised this new method of being conveyed
out to dinner on muddy day, without ex-
pepse either to his boots or pocket.

WENTER-A Boys COMPOSITION

Winter is the coldest season of the year,
because it comes in the winter mostly. In
some countries, winter comes in the sum-
mer, and then it is very pleasant. l wish
winter came in the summer in this country,
which is the best government the sun ever
shone upon. Then we could go skating
barefoot and slide down hill in linen trou-
sers. We could SNOWFALL without getting
our fingers cold, and men who go out
seghriding wouldn't have TO stop at every
tavern to warm, as they do now. 1t sAows
more in winter than il does at any other
season of the year. This is because SO
many cutters and sleighs are made then.
Ice grows much better in winter than in
summer, which was an Inconvenience until
the discovery of ice houses. Water that is
left out of doors is apt to freeze at this
season. Some folks take in their wells and
cisterns on cold night and keep them By
the fire, so they don't freeze.
Skating is great fun in winter. The
boys get their skates on when the river is
frozen over, and race, play tag, break
through the ice and get wet all over (they
get drowned sometimes and are brought
home all dripping, which makes their
mothers scold, getting water all over the
carpet in the front room, fall and break
their heads, and enjoy themselves in many
other ways.
There aint much sleigh riding except in
winter. Folks don't seem to care about it
in warm weather. Grown-up boys aud
girls like to 20 sleigh. riding. Tie boys

a FALSE ALARM.

A large congregation had assembled to
hear stranger of some notoriety. Soon
after he had introduced his subject, the cry
of "Fire! fire! fire" in the street very
much disturbed the congregation, and
many were about to retire, when an elderly
lay brother rose and said:
eff the congregation will be composed, I
will step out and see if there is any fire
near and report"
The congregation became composed, and
the minister proceeded. Taking advantage
of the occurrence, he called attention to
fire that would consume the world "a fire
that would burn forever in the lake that is
bottomless and had Just concluded a
sentence of terrible import, and not with
out manifest impression on his audience,
when q voice from the other end of the
church, as if in fat denial of all he had
said, bawled out:
ats a false alarm"
The effect was ludicrous in the extreme.
The old man returned; but the ipoppor-
tune response spoiled the force of the elo-
quent appeal from the pulpit, and even the
preacher could scarce refrain from joining
in the universal smile that passed over the
congregation -Humilton Times.

A THRILLING ACCIDENT.

The widest and most improbable of
Jules Verne's Scientific Romances"
contains nothing more thrilling than an
accident that has occurred at Dun
more, Pa, the great shipping centre of
the Pennsylvania Coal Company. The
coal trains are hoisted up a series of
steep plains over the undulating noun
tans that intervene between Scranton
and Hawley, by finely regulated and
admirably equipped system of machinery
and where gentle slopes and long "levels"
occur are sped onward by gravitation,
under control of an experienced corps of
brakesmen.
A runaway train down one of those
sharply sloping places is a rare occur
renee, every precaution possible being
taken to avert such an accident. Yet,
occasionally, there is a runaway, and it's
headlong flight is some what terrific.
The train of which l speak consisted of
four cars laden with coal. They were
drawn up the plane by a stout wire rope,
and were preceded by small truck
known as the "balance car" Just as
they had reached within few feet of
the head house the fastenings gave
way, moments s pause and the coal train
commenced it's wild career down the
mountain side, striking terror into the
hearts of the workmen at the engine
house as they saw it speed away. Down,
down it dashed with rush like whirl-
wind, gaining in momentum as it went
until it neared the front of the plane.
A workman named Durkin, who was
engaged pushing a car along a branch
track at the foot. Immediately in the
way of the runaway, saw it approach
him and was paralyz with awe. 1t was
yet several yards distance, and he
made desperate effort to escape. But
with a velocity almost as great as that
of cannon ball it struck him and the
car by which he was standing, sweeping
both distance of 200 yards until Dur
kin and the car collided with lar.e
coal train lying on the level. The scene
that ensued battles description. The
crash was followed by thick cloud of
coal, pieces of wood and iron, and in the
midst of the destructive tumult poor
Durkin was torn TO nieres.

THE MAN THAI SAVED A CITY.

| The inhabitants of Neopois, hearing of
the approach of Timour the Tartar, pre-
pared to defend themselves with vigor, but
Nasur counseled them to do nothing of the
sort, but to trust to him alone, and his
mediation with Timour. The people
were doubtful of his success, but they
yielded. Before proceeding to the camp
of the besieger, Nasur, who knew it was
useless to approach the great chief without
present, considered what gift was likely
to be most acceptable. He resolved it
should be fruit, but he hesitated between
figs and ounces.
IT will consult with my wife," said
Nasur-ed- Deem, and he accordingly did 50.
The lady advised him to take ounces, as
the larger fruit.
Every good" said Nasur; "that being
your opinion, will take figs"
When he reached the foot of the throne
of Tamerlane, he announced himself as the
ambassador from the beleaguered citizens,
and presented as an offering of their hon.
age, his trumpery basket of figs. The
chief burst into rage, and ordered them to
be flung at the head of the representative
of the people of Jengi-Scheher. The
courtiers pelted him with right good will,
and, each time he was struck, Nasur, who
stood patient aud immovable, gently ex-
claimed:
'Now, Allah be praised" or, ooh, the
Prophet be thanked" or, "Oh admirable!
how can be sufficiently grateful?"
"What dost thou mean, fellow ?" asked
Timour; 1--WE pelt you with figs, and you
seem to enjoy it."
Gay, truly, great sir" replied Nasur; IT
gratefully enjoy the consequence of my
own wit. My wife counseled me to bring
ounces, but l choose to bring figs; and
well that did, for with figs you have only
bruised me, but had 1 brought ounces,
you would have beaten my brains out"
The stern conqueror laughed aloud, and
declared that, for the sake of one fool, be
would spare all the fools in the city, male
and female, them and their property.
"Then," cried Nasur, 'the entire popu-
lation is safe." and he ran homeward To
communicate the joyful intelligence.

FROM LIVING TOEEs.

Recently, German miner, residing in
Platteville, Wis, was buried in a mineral
shaft near that place while engaged in re-
moving the debris which had fallen from a
drift about thirty feet above the bottom of
the shaft, where he was working. The
cribbing about the upper drift gave way,
precipitating mass of timbers and rocks
down the shaft. Fortunately, the timbers
and rocks found lodgment about ten feet
above the bottom of the shaft. Expert
enced miners set to work to rescue the un-
fortunate man, and succeeded in reaching
him after digging through twenty feet of
earth and rock. When found, the Ger
man was alive, but stark mad, and in that
condition he still remains.

former strongholds, but a monster ad-
dress, among the signers of which appear
the names of many of the most eminent
Englishmen, has been forwarded to
Queen Victoria, urging her not to aid in
plunging the country into gigantic war
that might prove most disastrous to it.
If the Queen shall heed this request
and allow her feelings to be enlisted in
the interest of peace, so that the Cars
efforts are met in friendly spirit in
England, we may look for an end of the
Eastern quarrel. 1t is evident that both
England and Russia are much more
peacefully inclined than formerly, and
it may be attributed as much an any
thing else to the growth of the peace
parties in the two countries. The ad-
venturers and the rabble cry for war,
but the solid element, which has some
thing to risk, is for peace.

One of the strongest indications of
peace is the growth of the peace party in
England. The furious war party is evi-
IDENTIFY not made up of the best elements
Of the population. The scum of society
is always for war, and is the easiest
stirred up by any unusual excitement.
The English press has pandered to this
class and given us its hootings as the
opinions of the people of Great Britain.
Not only in this particular, but in almost
all others, the English press has shown
itself unable to rise to great occasion
like that which threatens the peace of
Europe We are told that the Govern
ment all along had knowledge of the in
tention of the Russians 50 far as their
present movements in this country are
concerned. No one can believe it. If
the British Government had really such
knowledge it would have certainly pre-
pared public opinion in its country for
the unpleasant news. The native re-
bellion in Roumelia and portions of Bull
garia, it now turns out, is a very insg-
nifcant affair, and was formidable only
in the letters of English newspaper CORE
spondents. These stories are invariably
refuted after the lapse of few days,
when fresh ones are coined to tickle
the palate of the British war
party. A significant fact is that the
peace party in England is evidently gain
ing in strength and courage. The war
party has not only been beaten at the
Parliamentary elections in some Of its

The May Musical Festival next week
will be most important event, both in
the history of Cincinnati and in the his
tory of the musical progress of this
country. The opening of our new and
beautiful music hall with a musical en-
tertainment such as is now assured will
be an occasion long remembered and one
which will make every Cincinnatian feel
proud that the city of his home is not
only great in wealth, great in COM
mercial sense, and great as manufac-
turing center, but that she is especially
great in the refinement, culture, taste, and
musical education of her masses and in
the liberality Of her wealthy citizens. 1t
will be week of gladness for the people
of the "Queen City" and they should
show it by complying with the request
for a general decoration of the houses and
goodly display of bunting. The Com
mittee having this subject in hand have
been pretty generally assured of deter
mination to decorate. Let there be not
only general but an entire acquiescence
in the reasonable request made in regard
to this matter. Our city will be filled
with strangers, and every one who comes
at such time will be lover of the
beautiful and person who will be pleas
ingly impressed with the appearance o
the CITY in her holiday attire. To hal
decorate will be worse than if no attemp
be made. What the Committee desire, anC
what the interest and reputation of ou
city demand, is that every place be decor
ated as beautifully as possible, and tha
our leading business houses vie with eacl
other in the beauty and originality ot
their designs, Let the artistic beauty Of
the decorations only be eXcelled by that
which takes place within the walls Of
Springer Hall.
