One of Braidy's peculiarities was
his love for the bagpipe, SO the de-
tective being a piper, adopted the
disguise of a Scotch piper and played
about in the coal towns in the hope
of some day attracting the attention
of the man be was seeking, he being
sur from information he had receiv-

An Ice Mountain.

The Preston County, West Vir-
ginia, Journal, of July 8, has the
following graphic description of an
ice mountain in Preston County
Considerable excitement was aroused
in Rowlesburg, some few days ago,
over the discovery of an "ice mount
ain," or "ice field" as it is called.
The mountain, on the northwest
side of which, near its base, this
mysterious deposit of ice is found,
lies about FIVE miles south of Rowles-
burg, four hundred or FIVE hundred
rods off the Northwestern turnpike,
and about one-fourth mile west of
Cheat River, near the waters of Flag
and Pleasant Runs. 1t is a very
rocky and wild and barren place.
and on lands owned by United
States Senator Henry G. Davis.
The ice lies q little below the
surface of the ground, and is COW
cred with moss aud stones, which re-
moved causes the ice to melt. Re-
ports are conflicting as to the size of
the deposit. Mr.. D. Y. Morris, of
Rowlesburg, thinks the superficial
area of the "6eld" is not over one
fourth acre. On the surface the ice
is honeycombed, but becomes solid
as you 60 down. The depth of the
deposit has lot been ascertained. A
gentleman dug down four feet, and
found no sign of bottom, but the ice
was as clear as crystal and very
hard. Numerous thin, fiat, white
stones are found imbedded in the ice,
as well as on the surface. Those not
covered with ice, are coated with
q substance like frost, and are entire
~ free from dirt and sand.
From I O'Clock A. NJ, till sunset,
the deposit is exposed to the direct
rays of the sun, but the ice does not
melt save when its covering OF moss
and stone is removed. If the hand
be held near the surface of the ice, q
strong current of cold air is felt; and
if it be laid in one of the crevices
through which the air passes, the
hand will soon ache with pain. At
the foot of the mountain there are
the twin springs" a drink from
eithe: of which causes the teeth to
ache with the intense GOODNESS Of the
water.
The field" has been visited by
hundreds Of people. There is no
doubt Of its existence. It certainly is
most wonderful. Who will explain
its existence.

An Eugiaeer's Need OF Nerve.

UnquestionabIy the bravesr men in
America are those who stand upon
the foot-boards Of the locomotives
which draw the fast express trains.
But few persons are aware OF it, but
On the leading railways, where con-
nections must be made if possible.
only engineers known to be brave
and daring are given engines on ex-
press trains, and as soon as an engin-
e shows the least timidity about
running fast he is taken from his en-
CINE and given one on o freight train
to run.
Two such cases have occurred re-
Gently OF Indianapolis roads. Rail
road officers state that the first sign
that an engineer is becoming timid is
that be will be behind 10 minutes,
possibly . half hour, for some days
or nights in succession. He is then
called to an account, and unless his
reasons are convincing another engin-
eer is given his engine to run for q
few times; and should he bring the
train IN promptly on time, the first
named engineer gets a freight train
engine to run until he braces up. 1t
is stated, however, that after an en-
gineer allows his timidity to get q
fair bold, be seldom SO far overcomes
it as to have the bravery TO step on
to an express train engine and run it
at the speed necessary to make the
time. Quite recently an engineer on
one of the roads running west from
here got an impression that some ac-
cident was TO happen to him, and one
night, when running a fast express,
he constantly lost time. At the first
station when the train stopped the
conductor berated him for running SO
slow. The engineer actually shed
tears, and owned hal fear had over
come him, and that he dare not run
fast, and at his own request an engin-
eer of a freight train which stood at
this meeting point was given the
train to run through that night, the
conductor telegraphed the train-mas-
ter, asking that the request be grant
ed. The timid engineer has since run
a freight train on the road.-Indian-
npolis Journcl.

This anecdote is richly illustrative.
1t is told of wealthy but very mi
serly man. One day during the
heated term while the thermometer
stood ninety-fve degrees in the shade,
some visitors called at his country

Everybody appeared melting, and
in the cas- of several guests apoplexy
seemed imminent. The host felt

Redeeming Mutilated Currency,

Whenever a national bank or legal
tender note becomes murilated, when
ever anybody comes into possession
of a worn out note, or whenever by
accident any money Of this character
becomes so far destroyed that it will
not pass, the owner may send it to
the Treasurer of the United States.
The mutilated currency goes to the
redemption division of the Tressur.
er's Office, and there Judgment is
passed on it. OF course every pre-.
caution is bad against fraud. Quite
often a woe-begone piece of q note
will be sent in, and after the crucial
test will turn out to be the relic of q
counterfeit bill. Sometimes the aft.

that has ever come before the re.

did not attempt to open it, but sent
it on with q statement of the facts.
The ball was cracked, just as q hick-

its contents. Inside were found, in
fact and unchanged, the twenty and
ten dollar bills that went to make up

TO do her best for Miss Thorpe who
took her dismissal 30 well and went
about her duties sadly and quietly,
with such sweetness and gentleness
toward her young pupils.

she remarked to Miss Langley that
such were q lady's thanks for try

son.
Hattie said "Good-morning, Miss
Helen kissed Artie and Louis, who
set up an ear-piercing wall at losing
her, and then walked quietly away,
leaving her modest little box to be
sent after her.
At the New York terminus she
was met by Mr.. Edward Montague,
and the two got into q close carriage,
were speedily driven to the house Of
a clerical friend, a,d in ten minutes

and Mrs. Langley said breaking the
seal, 81 wonder what two turtle doves

A couple of cards dropped out that
solved the question at once, and not
to Mrs. Langley's satisfaction, for
she became very pale. She silently
passed the cards to Miss Langley.

young lady flung aside the harmless

burned her.

on it.
