The Cattle Train.

This incident was related some years
ago by Miss L. M. Alcott, the well known
author.
Somewhere above Fitchburg, as we
stopped for twenty minutes at q station,
l amused myself by looking out of win.
dow at a waterfall which came tumbling
over the rocks and spread into a wide
pool that flowed up the railway. Close
by stood a cattle train; and the mournful
sounds that came from it touched nv
heart.
Full in the hot sun stood the cars; and
every crevice of room between the bars
across the doorways was filed with pa
thetic noses, shifting eagerly at the sultry
gusts that blew by with now and then a
fresher breath from the pool that lay
dimpling before them. How they must
have suffered, in sight of water, with the
cool dash of the fall tantalizing them,
and not drop to wet their parched
mouthsl
The cattle lowed dismally, and the
sheep tumpled one over the other in
their frantic attempts to reach the bless
ed air, bleating so plaintively the while
that was tempted to get out and see
what could do for them. But the time
was nearly up, and while hesitated, two
little girls appeared and did the kind
deed better than l could have done it.
l could not hear what they said, but,
as they worked away SO heartily, their
little tanned faces grew lovely to me in
spite of their old hats, their bare feet and
their shabby gowns. One pulled off her
apron, spread it on the grass, and, emp
tying upon it the berries from her pail,
ran to the pool and returned with it
dripping to hold it up to the suffering
sheep, who stretched their hot tongues
gratefully to meet it, and Tapped the
precious water with an eagerness that
made little barefoot's task hard one.
But to and fro she ran, never tired,
though the small pail was soon empty;
and her friend meanwhile pulled great
handfuls of clover and grass for the COWS,
and having no pail, filled her picking
dish with water to throw on the poor
dusty noses appealing to her through the
bars l wish | could have told those
tender hearted children how beautiful
their compassion made that hot, noisy
place, and what sweet picture 1 took
away with me of those two little sisters
of charity. BLESSED are the merciful for
they shall obtain mercy"

Scourging a Naked Woman.

RICHMOND Dec 3-In the Police Court
here, yesterday, woman named Mrs
Nancy Lynch was sentenced to receive
twenty-five lashes for stealing some pie
ces of iron from the Chesapeake and
Ohio Railroad Co. Soon after. she stood
in the yard of the City Jail, with her eyes
fixed upon the whipping post, stout
brown post about seven feet in height
and three feet in circumference. An Of
fetal in the yard called to an attendant,
Throw me down that tickler;" where
upon a cowhide about half an inch in
diameter at the butt and tapering down
to a point, was tossed into his hand
Nancy shuddered. The official said,
Take down your clothes, Nancy, and
hug the widder.
Must l take all off p
Eyes, and hurry up"
Nancy unbuttoned her dress in front,
and stripped to the waist, her upper cloth
ing falling down over her hips and ex-
posing to the gaze of the few bystanders
a glossy skin from shoulders to waist. In
a moment more she had embraced the
"widder," or whipping post. She gripped
the post, her head turned toward the of
fetal, and, as he raised the cowhide
seemed to nerve herself for the lashes
Rapidly the twenty-five stripes were laid
on, each making horrible mark on the
| skin. At first the victim did not move
| but as the remainder descended in rapid
succession, she writhed and twisted ir
agony, and the tears poured down hel
cheeks.

A Toodles Case.

Mr. Waite is a model husband-that is
to say, in a good many respects. He
neither drinks, smokes, nor chews, stays
at home evenings, never CANDLES, and
gives his wife all the money that she
wants It is said that all men have some
idiosyncracy or hobby. Mr. Waite has
his. 1t is deep-rooted mania for attend
ing auction sales and buying articles of
every description, Ia Toodles, without
regard as to whether they will ever be of
any practical or imaginary use to him.
AS long as he gets them at bargain he
is satisfied. A good joke about this Pc
culiarity of his was related to me the
other evening by friend of his. Mr..
Waite went to an auction sale OF dealer
in printing material. He bought 20O
wooden mallets, of assorted sizes, at ten
cents each, and carried them home in
triumph He stored them in the cellar,
where they remained for six months or
SO. Mrs. Waite got tired of seeing them
occupying so much space, especially as
she wanted the cellar for some purposes
of her own So, imagining that her hus-
band had forgotten all about his novel
acquisition, she sold the mallets for
mere song to an auctioneer. That even
ing Mr. Waite returned home with
handcart His face was flushed but tri-
umphant.
What have you got in that handcart,
my dear p asked Mrs. Waite.
"Mallets. darling"
what 2" -
"Mallets. Bought 200 at thirteen
cents each. Paid more for them than
the others got, but. you know, it will
never do to let the price of mallets go
down."
Mrs. Waite took one look at the arti-
cles. Her worst fears were realized.
They were the same old mallets that she
had sold in the morning. Mr.. Waite
had chanced to be in attendance at the
sale where they had been offered, and
had bought them at three cents advance
over the price he had first paid for them.
He now has a corner" in mallets on the
Pacific coast, and printers have to "lock-
up" with imported pine. knots.

editor has preferred taking the "Bitters"

Why is this medicine performing such great
cures? It works in the blood, in the circulat-

In in the blood and no medicine that does not
act directly upon it, to purify and renovate,

And never may touch by prayer,

An Important once.

Governor Robinson's prompt removal of
Coroner Dempsey, of Staten Island, who
was recently convicted of the offence of
swearing to false accounts, was to be ex-
pected, and it is to be hoped that the success
sor appointed to the vacancy will be an i'm
provement on the general run of such off,
cals, at this end of the State at least The
recent murders in this city have developed
an amount OF incapacity and stupidity in
the New York coroners which strikingly
illustrates the carelessness Of the peo-
pie in filling this important Office.
coroner has great power and great respon-
sibility, and ought in all cases to be a citi-
zen of intelligence and established repu-
tatlon. Yet when an election comes round
hack they happen to fancy in nomination
tor the position, and the people vote for
him without thought of the importance
of the duties he will be called upon TO dis
charge. The Coroner in the Hull murder
case was as much to blame as anybody Tor
the outrageous blunders made by tho
police, which but for an accident might
have led to the escape OF the real
murderer and the punishment of IN
innocent man. Some inquests that have
been held on Blackwelrs Island might, if
the truth were known, prove startling reve-
lations to the people OF the danger OF making
coroners out of low grade of ward polti-
cians. In future it is to be hoped that our
citizens will be more careful what sort of
candidates they elect to the Coroner's Office,
and will compel one or other of the political
parties to put in nomination better men for
that Office than it has heretofore been the
custom to select.

and the people had to be taken off in small
boats. In the other the launch ran foul of
the hawser the Harlem boat, smashing her
flagstaff and occasioning an alarm among
the passengers that might easily have grown
into panic. 1t was far more attributable to
luck than to judgment that no lives were
lost.
BY what right do these launches carry
passengers9 Are they ferryboats, plying
between the bridges. or excursion boats, or
what? Have they any license as ferryboats.
or do they comply with'the laws regulating
excursion boats? What engineers do they
employ? 1t is stated that their engineers
are men licensed by the Sanitary Bureau to
manage steam boilers; but does this fit them
to be intrusted with the lives of hundred
or more passengers If the business is
lawfully followed it is certain that it
should be SO conducted as not to
risk human life, and no one will pretend
that there is not great peril in every trip
these little boats make with overloaded
decks. The law against carrying more than
certain number of passengers applies to
them as we'll as to larger craft, and ought
to be enforced. The authorities whose
duty it is to look after such matters should
pay attention to these boats and their
management before an accident attended
by loss of life stirs them up to activity.
