The first coach was filed with emigrants,
most Of whom we're killed or seriously i'll

was caused by the switchman having charge
OF making up freight trains at Jackson
junction, occupying the main track with the
switch-eneine and caboose, he understand
ing that the express train was considerably

Saw His Erro..

The following inciden1 is related of
the late Judge Barnard, who, though
sometimes irritable on the bench, re-
GREETED more than any one else his hasty
words and deeds at such times. A young
lawyer, since then elected to Congress,
when young man just arrived in the
city, once laid some papers before the
Judge. He glanced at them and tossed
them back TO the young lawyer.
"Iour Honor, what is the matter with
these papers u asked the lawyer.
They're not properly drawn up" said
the Judge.
"What is wrong about them !" the
young lawyer inquired.
"lf yol don't know, | can't tell" the
Judge responded. If / had tyro in
my office who couldn't draw up better
papers than those, I'd throw him out on
the sidewalk.
The words were heard by crowded
court room. Much mortified, the lawyer
took his leave A week afterward he
was sitting in the same courtroom, and
the Judge said: "Mr. -. will you step
to the bench for moment, if you pleasel
The gentleman did so, and the spectators
wondered what was coming. Last
Monday" the Judge began, you laid
some papers before me. which errone-
ously pronounced incorrect, and acted
like scoundrel. am ashamed of it,
and as l grossly insulted you in open
court, want to tender you an apology

A Sad Story.

A sad story comes from France
through the London Pail Mall Gazette.
NJ. Mouchet was IA painter of great
merit, though not in the front rank of
his profession. He had wife and child
dependent upon him for support, and
labored earnestly to provide for them.
Recently his friends were surprised and
panied to find marked deterioration in
the quality of his works, and soon it
was discovered-what the artist himself
was too well aware of-that his brain
was affected and that he was slowly
losing his faculties He was still con-
sidered competent, however, for the post
of Professor of Drawing at the Eccle
Polytechnique, and his name was placed
upon the roll of candidates, about one
hundred in number. His friends
worked zealously for the success of his
application. The hour of the election
was past and NJ. Mouchet was waiting
in terrible anxiety for the result, when
one of his friends approached him with
detected expression Of countenance.
Instantly surmising that he had failed,
he sank senseless into a chair and has
since been raving maniac 1t was all
"a mistake, too; moment after another
friend came with the news of his cleo
ton, but it was too late. His family,
thanks to the artists Of France, will be
cared for during his atfiiction.

The Courtship of BlanQui.

The coultship and marriage of NJ.
Blanqui, the French revolutionist are
said to have been very romantic.
When only 10 he became tutor in an
aristocratic family living near Toulouse.
He fell in love with young lady also
residing in the chateau, but she was
wealthy, and he did not venture to dis
close his devotion. For six years he
remained silent, when at last she dis
covered his feeling, and returning it, be-
came his wife. Six years afterward
she died. Blanqui still wears mourning
for her. In 1913, at the Radical club
he presided over, he never took off the
black gloves he habitually wore. These
produced a curious effect when he used
gestures to emphasize any remarks he
made in his somewhat shrill voice.
These gloves are of peculiar make, and
come high up the wrist like those of a
lady. The reason for this singularity il
that the determined conspirator still
wears on his wrist the bracelet of her he
loved and still mourns.

Woman Suffrage.

Whether women would vote if they
had the right to, has always been a sub
ject of great speculation, and every con-
tribution of fact to such discussion is
therefore of decided interest. New
Hampshire anticipated Massachusetts,
by few months in giving women the
right to vote for members eff the school
committee, and the first election under
the new law was held few days ago
at the State Capitol. The result was n
wonderfully full vote, not less than
2,l6O ballots being cast, and of these
over half were deposited by women.
The balloting extended over three
meetings, and the number of women
who participated was almost exactly
double on the second and third evenings
what it had been at previous meetings
10000, and 662. Another interest
ing feature of this election was the fact
that the sexes did not rally 20 the sup
port of opposing tickets, but men and
women divided their votes very evenly,
and ticket bearing the names of two
men was elected by narrow majority
over another which bore the names of a
man and woman. -Investigator.

"Down Fine"

Get your through tickets at the
wagon" screamed the doorkeeper of the
circus to a young man with girl on his
arm who had handful of small change.
This is the third time you have come
here without tickets, when you know
can't take the money"
The young man and his girl fell back,
and as they did not go near the ticket
wagon, and yet seemed very anxious to
see the circus, n curious minded citizen
edged around and inquired of the young
man:
"Why don't you buy tickets if You

How She Described It.

He was a bald headed bachelor, whose
heart for the first time had been moved
by the tender passion.
"Then you confess he said, in a
trembling voice, to the object of his re-
CARDS, "that you like me little-that
you admire certain qualities of my

lady.
"And may ask, he continued, in a
voice of emotion, "what those qualities
are p

lady bashfully; "but think it is be-
cause your head is SO mellifuent-I
can't express it more clearly"
"And you can never know how l APP
preciate your high opinion" exclaimed
the happy bachelor, as he pressed her
hand.
He didn't know just what "melliAuent"
meant, but he was sure it was the sym
onym for something grand and emo
bling, and when he babe her good night
he rushed eagerly home, excitedly took
down the dictionary, and .feverishly
turned to the endeared word. His blood
changed to ice as he read:

Opium In England.

A statement. saws the London Lancet.
has lately been made to the effect that
during the last Two years the consumption
has been induced by the restriction OF the
sale OF Intoxicating liquors by the early
closing OF public houses. That the sale
of narcotic drugs has of late greatly in
creased there is little reason to doubt, but
it is rather TO the hardness of the times
than 20 any restrain, in the sale of drink
that the increased consumption Of opium
by the working-classes is to attributed.
Opium is cheaper than alcohol, and two
pence expended on the former will give
the latter. Nor, when first commenced,
does its use produce such unpleasant
after effects as an intoxicating dose Of Al

Home Kindness.

Home life is the sure test of character
Let husband be cross and surly, and
the wife grows cold and unamiable. The
children grow up saucy and savage as
young bears. The father becomes callous,
peevish, hard, kind of two-legged brute
with clothes on. The wife bristles in
self-defense. They develop an unnatural
growth, and the house is haunted by
ugliness ard domestic brawls. This is
not what the family circle should be- If
one must be rude to any, let it be to
some one he does not love-not to wife,
sister, brother or parent. Let one of our
loved ones be taken away, and memory
recalls thousand savings to regret.
Death quickens recollection painfully.
The grave cannot hide the white faces Of
those who sleep. The coffin and the
green ground are cruel magnets. They
draw us farther than we would GO. They
force us To remember. A man never
sees so far into human life as when he
looks over a wife or mothers grave. His
eyes get wondrous clear then, and he sees
as never before, what it is to love and
be loved; what it is to iniure the feeling.
OF the loved. Ii is pitiable picture OF
human weakness when those We love
best are treated worst.

Children's Hair.

How often the soft, hossy hair OF
children is seen crimpe1, pinched and
curled, and nothing is so injurious to the
ultimate health of the hair as this sort
of treatment. Wee creatures of three OF
four years, and even younger, are arrayed
in curl papers by atiectionate and admir-
ing mothers, who are bent upon making
the children charming, and who do not
stop to consider how far they may be
defeating their own ends by the action,
or how much pain they may be intlictins
ON the objects of their fond solicitudc.
An authority on that subject says: "Up
to the age of six or seven children retain
what is called their baby hair which is
injured, not improved by cutting. In
its soft and delicate sickness, ii is like
the first plumage of young bird, and is
quitedifferentfromth the harsherhair which
succeeds it. If the hair curls naturally
it looks charming dressed in that fash
ion, but putting it in papers is sure to
injure it and pull it out by the roots.
The use of curling irons is still more
Objectionable; anything which tangles
and cuts the hair is bad in the extreme,
and it is to he regretted that mothers
draw so heavily upon the capital of their
children's hair, instead Of using the
yearly increasing interest of its beauty
and value" One disastrous result aris-
ing from the prevalent custo II of allow
ing the hair to flow uncontined down the
shoulders has been in some cases, disease
of the spine or other ills of kindred
nature. This has been attributed to the
heat Of the hair, when it is thick, and as
the hair is non conductor and constant
warmth of it about the neck and Shout
ders becomes weakening agency that
betrays itself in some miserable form
The scalp of the head should always be
kept clean. The hair ahould not be
brought in contract with very sharp
comb teeth; it should be carefully and
well brushed. and loosely coiled in one
of the becoming fashions that abound at
present, without being injurious to the
growth or beauty of the hair, or dctri-
mental to the physical structure
