Joaquin Miller's Daughter.

Maud Miller. the daughter of Joaquin
Miller, the poet, is under arrest in Port
land, Ore, on charge of abduction.
She had been a bail t-dancer in San
Francisco, and went to Portland as an
actress in small way. A male COM
panion, Tom Logan, is also in jail.
The pair got possession of a girl in San
Francisco. dressed her in boys clothes,
trimmed her hair, and took her with
them to Oregon. The motive is not ap-
parent in the court-proceedings. e cept
through letter by Miss Miller, in which
she says: "Alice Mcdonald came to
me the other day very pail and so weak
she could scarcely stand on her feel, of
course I gave her some thing to eat and
let her stay all night with me, and so it
went on for three or four days. Alice
begged me to take her any way to rur
away, or any thing in the world to get
away from home for the child was really
treated badly. So finally l consented
to do so. Well, l told Tom, and he
said he would help me, and SO l took
some old duds he brought and made a
pair of pants and coat for the girl
and cut her hair off short and parted il
on the side. You never would have
known her a girl"

His Own ExecutiOner.

A remarkable case oflynching occur
red at Cheyenne, Wyoming, on the 18th
inst. A man named Dug Reed, obnox
ious particularly to the citizens, was
taken out of Jail. Then, with unusual
courtesy, the lynchers allowed Reed to
select the method of death most agree
able to him; and when ne stated that he
would prefer to be hanged, they went
still further and allowed him to be his
own executiOner. He took the rope in
his hand, climb telegraph-pole, fas-
tened one end round the top, and form
ed moose at the other end. Then he
made his last dying speech, which was
short, being ne more than "Good-by,
boys" and, jumping off, was launched
into eternity. Some Coroner's juries
might find this to be a case of suicide;
but, to some extent, the crowd at the
foot OF the pole must be considered az
aiding and abetting.

English Dress.

The London correspondent of the Bal
timore Gazette writes as follows in re-
gard to the dress of English women:
"Our British cousins-how big and jol-
ly, and altogether well fed and comfort
able they look, after one has been gaz-
ing for five years and more on the stunt
ed forms and sharp faces of the Pari-
slams. The young people especially
the young men, fair and fresh colored,
with tall, manly figures and well-opened
blue eyes; the girls with wonderful
compilations and golden hair, and above
all, with that look of innocent, girlish
sweetness and purity ttat one never,
never sees in France-are altogether
pleasant to look at. But their clothes!
Shades of our ancestress Eve, surely
You wore your leafen kirtle with more
style and grace than do these, your Brit
ish descendants, their tiebscks and their
Jackets. What is the matter with that
woman-they are clothes blind-style
blind evidently, as some unfortunates
are born color blind. The more they
try to dress the worse do they fail in the
attempt. They have no sense of the
fitness of things. Lately, at a splendid
London bail, lsdy appeared in a cos,
tune of gray and black silk and cash
mere, with high neck and long sleeves
and with magnificent diamond neck
lace clasped around her throat. An
other lady at the same en-
tertainment had on q white
satin dress, cut low in the neck, but
made with long sleeves reaching to the
wrist and very much puffed and slashed
at the shoulders. 1t is yet too early in
the season for the fashionable British
garb of sealskin jacket worn with a
muslin dress to be visible, or for that
other touch of elegance-a muslin dress
worn over woolen petticoat. But
there are plenty of things to be seen that
are wild and wonderful, especially to a
Partisan eye. And, oh! the headgear-
such hats and bonnets, big as bushel
baskets and all bushy with feathers,
worn well cooked down over the nose
And yet these people have quantities OF
taste in other directions. In all matters
of decorative art they are admirable.
Their household fittings and embroider-
les and porcelain and book bindings are
altogether lovely. 1t is only in the
matter of feminine attire that they 90 so
wildly astray. And the pity of it, the
pity of it! For the faces that are SO
disfgured by abominable hats and hide
Gus coiffures would be so very pretty ii
they only had fair play. Give to Par
isienne that complexion of cream and
roses, those masses of gold cleaning
hair, those candid blue eyes, those rows
of pearly teeth, and see what she would
make of herself. She would step forth

The Electric Railroad Signal Systems

Having occasion to call at the Office
ct the Union Electric Signal Company
some days since, l was very mitch
pleased with the method of their system
on exhibition there: consisting OF small
e'evsted railroad Quilt and running
without charter, leave of license from
State or city,. was at the same time
very much surprised at the number of
points embraced in its service, combined
as they are with extreme simplicity and
great economy. This system consists of
danger signals, which are held in d
position of safety = g Circuit. of else
tricity carried thtoug. tbs rails of the
-oad, thus doing away with all the line
wires and reducing the battery power
to the lowest possible point, that is. one
cell to section. The road being divid-
ed into sections Cf one mile in length
and entirely Independent of each other,
any break in the circuit releases the
signal and at once shows "danger" p"
No train, or even q pair of wheels, can
enter the section at any point, whether
at either end or from siding, without
shortening the circuit, releasing the sig
nal and showing danger. A rail can
not be broken or displaced without
showing "danger.'' A car must be
shunted on side track clear of harm
from passing cars on main track, or
"danger will be shown. A switch
must not only be closed, but must abso-
lutely be locked, or the signal goes to
"danger." Any tampering with the
batteries or connections in any way will
show danger. A rail, or any conduct
ing substance across the track, will at
once be shown by the signal.
They also have bells connected at
grade crossings, which rings as soon So
a train enters Sc ton and continues to
ring as long as train remains on the
section, unless the railroad has man
in charge of the crossing who can, af-
ter the gates are closed or necessary
precautions are taken, stop the ringing.
They will also ring during any deraage-
ment of the battery or circuit. Anoth-
er advantage they offer is in having open
slat signals, which no snow or slush
can paste over and render for the time
useless; nor do they need lighting by
lamps, the locomotive headlight being
all-sufficient. In fact, it is impossible
to show "safety" when any "danger'
exists which the signal is designed to
avert.
They also show a new electric inter
locking switch, which can not be open
ed, after train has entered section
in which it is placed, excepting by The
assistance of an official, placed in com
munication by wire with the switch fol
this purpose. In view of the many
railroad accidents of almost daily oc
currence, accompanied by large loss O
life, entailing heavy damages on th'
road, it seems as though remedy wa
here offered them which, if properl,
used, would almost entirely prevent an,
future accidents. The public ale als'
interested in having the railroads us
every available means by which travel
ing on the railroads or over the con
slant crossings of the roads may b.
rendered as near perfect safety as init
human power can make it.-Cor. Bos

Youthful Appreciation of Science.

A South Norwalk (Conn.) physician
few days ago was overhauling an elec-
trical machine, and, after putting it in
order, turned the crank to test it. His
little daughter wanted to help, so he
told her to turn and he would hold the
handles. The child did her part we'll,
and the current of electricity was so
strong that the Doctors hands shook as
though he had an attack of the ague.
The next day the little girl asked her fa-
tier to let her "play the hand organ
again.
"Hand organ?" said the Doctor, in
an inquiring tone of voice, 81 didn't
know that you had ever played a hand
organ" -.
"Oh. yes, I did, yesterday, you know
when l played and you was the
monkey
