A Railroad Legend.

Then there was narrated weird story that
had heard once before. 1t was about an appa-
rition of a train on the Hudson River railroad.
1t was told with an effort at sincerity that did
not deceive the listener, but am told that
there are many trackmen and laborers along
the line of the Hudson River railroad who
pretend to have seen the spectacle. The tale
was about mystic counterpart of the funeral
train that bore Abraham Lincoln's remains
from this city to the West The actual and
substantial train passed over the road on a GER
tain day in April, 1865. The car that con-
tanned the Presidents remains was heavily
draped, believe. 1t is said that on that night
every year all the train men who are on the
road during a certain hour Chat varies in
different subdivisions of the road) hear and see
and feel the spectre train rush by them. 1t
sounds hollow and awful. Its lights are yellow,
pale and funereal. Its train hands and passen-
gers are sepulchral figures. 1t looks like the
outline of a train, yet every detail is perfect
Those who have seen it say, though they felt
that it was only vision, that a man could
walk through it If he dared, or throw stone
through it; yet it seems perfect in everything
but substantialness. 1t even carries with it
whirl of wind as fast trains do, but it is cold,
clammy, grave-like atmosphere, all its own.
AS it passes another train the shrek of its
whistle and clang of its bell strike terror to the
hearts of those that hear them.-New York

Advice to a Young Man.

Another thing, son you want to remember
that wearing twenty-five inches of coat propped
out across sixteen inches of shoulders doesn t
make a gymnast of you by any means, any
more than straight back, a measured step
and Burnside hat with cord and an acorn
gives you a war record. There have been
young men, aye and old men too, who owed
the tailor for their chest and shoulders, and
owed them for precious long time, too. There
have been young men who could waltz for an
hour and sixty-eight minutes without once
sitting down to rest, who couldn't saw enough
wood to warm flannel cake, not if starvation
stared them in the face and tried to drive them
to it. Don't worry about your shape, son.
Men will admire your crooked legs if your
trousers are paid for, and if your back is lop-
sided that you have to keep your helm hard-a-
port all the time TO keep from walking around
the block to starboard when you want to go
straight ahead; you'll never think of it if you
don't owe for the coat that lies in such I'M
calmly, honest wrinkles across it. The man
who doesn't owe dollar is q rich man, even if
he hasn't crust to eat in the house. And
don't borrow; steal You'll feel better about it
and as a general thing you will be more re-
spected and less tormented.-Hawkeye

DARIEN CANAL.
De Lesseps' Plan Anticipated.
The Nicaraguan Government ar Work on
an Inter- Oceanic Passage.

NEW YORK, Aug. THE rather astonishing
seps is soliciting subscriptions for his Darien
Canal the Nicaraguan Government has part of
a ship canal almost ready for business. Every
plan has been perfected for opening direct nav
igation with Lake Nicaragua. The improve
ment of the Machuca rapids is nearly compile
ted, and the Nicaraguan Government now
proposes to build a canal, with the necessary
Iockage around CASTILLO rapids, which will
open up an uninterrupted communication from
the sea to Lake Nicaragua. There will then
remain hut a short distance, said to be less
than Is miles, between the western boundary
of Lake Nicaragua and the Pacific Ocean.
This portion of the route has been already
carefully surveyed for an inter-oceanic canal.
Subscriptions to DeLesseps' Canal Company
opened yesterday, and only 500 shares were
subscribed The agents here are dsconsolate.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 7.-As the result of thor
ough inquiry at the state department and an
interview with the PRESIDENT, it may be author
itatively stated that no action was taken and
no correspondence held by this government,
either with regard to DeLesseps' canal scheme
in its relation to our foreign policy, or with re-
gard to further exploration of the Isthmus by
another government expedition with view to
AS far as DeLesseps scheme is concerned. both
the President and secretary of state are firmly
convinced that no exigency is likely to arise
which can cause disquietude or make it neces-
sary for the government to take steps for pro-
lection of American interests. They belleve
that DeLesseps and the Paris Congress have
selected an impracticable route, and that the
scheme will fail through lack of financial sup
port and for want of American cooperation.
