Stories AbOu, Carlyle.

A charming companion with his
friends, he has no love of promlscuous
ac1uaintances, and, in fact, sincerely
holds to his famou, article of belief that
most men are fools-at all cv nts most
Englishmen; for he thinks at heart that
most Germans are, to say the least of it,
good fellows. As to his opinion of Amer
leans it is briefly expressed in the pithy
saying that American institutions have
simply produced population of forty
million bores.
Frcnchmen he dislikes with an un-
reasoning aversion. He does not be-
lieve in them, not even in NJ. Gambetta.
He never did believe in them. Being in
a Paris drawing-roonl on the 24th of Feb
ruary, 1S48, a Deputy rushed in, almost
wild with excitement, to announce the
proclamation of the Republic. Instead
of exhibiting a proper amount of awe at
the tidings, Mr.. Carlyle burst out into an
immederate fit of laughter, and almost
Immediately after took leave of his hosts,
still laughing.
He considers the abolition of slavery a
mistake and the benefits of free press
altogether illusory. Editors who write
contemptuously of great dignitaries
might be whipped without serious detri-
ment to any principle worth upholding.
English landlords should use their pow
ers to the uttermost. If the tenant is
disobedient let him be eyicted. The
Catholic Church and Mr.. Darwin are
both hopelessly in the wrong The latter
is an atheist without knowing it. AS for
the former, Mr.. Carlyle has all the old
Scotch Presbyterian prejudices against
the Scarlet Lady. The true religion is
one which Goethe imagined, but forgot
to explain. Meanwhile, everybody 5
duty is to obey-whom, Mr.. Carlyle is
not quite sure.
hope it is not transgressing on the
sanctty of private relations to say that
Mr.. Carlyle was singularly happy in his
marriage-a fact of which he gives some
what naive evidence in his chivalrous de-
fense of what all other biographers have
considered the greatest blunder in John
sons life. "Marry, by all MEANS" is Mr..
Carlyle's advice to young men; "well if
you can, but in any case marry" Obvi-
ously, on this reasoning, Samuel johnson
was perfectly right to marry a lady old
enough to be his mother, since he could
get no one else to take care of him.

How the First Trains Were Run.

NN. l. SoulltI'1
The notice of The death of Engineer
Hiram Shook, in the Courier of fort
night since, calls to mind many incidents
which happened when we were boys and
railroading was young. In our youthful
estimation, "Hi Shook" and "Bob Best"
occupied positions only equaled, bu
scarcely excelled, by the President of the
United States. Every boy along the
line knew at half mile distance, with
his eyes shut, the individual puff, ring
and whistle of each separate engine.
Their names are fixed in our mind in
half-forgotten way along with the names
Of schoolmates.
The highway leading from Frisbee-
street to East Chatham partly fol,
lows the old road-bed, where the grade
was eighty feet to the mile, The old
''injuns' used to have tough time
there, and it was common for the fire
men TO sit on the cow-catcher
with pail of sand, sitting it
on the rail with his hand. This
sometimes failed to make the driver stick,
and 1--WE boys" often helped the firemen
pick up small stones, laying them along
the rails at short intervals. Our inclina-
ton to put big ones on, as to "see her
smash 'em" was vehemently rebuked by
said firemen. The cry of "Old Shook is
stuck again" would send small army of
us down to his rescue at any time. Our
reward would be ride up to the crossing
on the old Vance place parade ground,
hanging onto the car-steps. Frequently,
at these times, the water would get low
in the boiler, and was supplied from the
creek near by, with pals. One very dry
summer the grasshoppers were exceed
ingly plenty, and the hot iron attracted
them in such numbers that the trains
were several times stopped. Through
the meadows the rails were completely
creased over by the mashed body of the
hoppcrs.
We used to think it part of the duty
of the fremen to throw wood at every
dog that barked at or chased the trains.
The wood thus thrown was an unfailing
supply to several families along the line.
So much dog-wood led to the company's
building wood-racks at the stations, where
each engine was measured out its due al
lowancc. The old-fashi ioncd, low-hanging
brake beams furnished quite a safe foot
hold for many a reckless stolen ride, and
the wonder is that so many of our young
necks remained unbroken. The oil spots
on our jackets and caps were the result
of the efforts of vicious brakemcn to dis
lodge us.

fell in upon him, breaking one leg in two
places and several ribs. 1t is feared he is
also injured internally. He was removed
to st. Elizabeths Hospital.
Officers Sweisler and Finck arrested Geo.
A. Patterson, of indianapolis, and Harry
Williams, of Logansport Ind, yesterday
morning at II o'clock OH suspicion.
Capt Clark, our worthy Chief, returned
yesterday morning from Detroit. He can
now sa ely say that he has been out of the
United States, having crossed over to Can
ada during his absence.

ative audience last night. He will return

ment on Monday. Don't fail to see him.
