Within a few months, and within a
radius of nine miles from here, three or
four widows comfortably well off have
married chaps that came tramping along.
One of these husbands is now in Jail for
threatening the lives of his wife and moth
er-in-law. His favorite form of amusement
was to place the women folks in chairs
side by side, and, after pOking loaded
gun into their faces. to fire it off at target
Just above their heads. Five weeks ago a
respectable and well-connected woman in
this town, whose husband died less than
two years ago, leaving her nice little
home and $1,000 in cash, fell in love with
a young tramp who came TO her door, and
though twenty years his senior she marri-
ed him. Since then her house has been
n rendezvous for nearly all the tramps
who came along, and apparently the good
news is being rapidly spread among the
fraternity. A few days ago the woman ap-
peared with badly bruised face and DAM
aged eyes, and her friends had her tramp
husband arrested for the assault The
trial was n most ludicrOus affair, for, while
the wife admitted that johnnie" not only
was the cause of her disfigurment, but had
soundly thrashed her at least twice a week
during their brief efhoneymOOn, she declar-
ed that she loved him dearly, and that he
only whipped her when he was mad be-
cause she wouldn't, at first asking, give
him money, or buy him horse and car
riagc The man said that he didn't think
that he had thrashed his wife above once a
week, and that he loved her dearly. Upon
this followed a very dramatic scene, the
woman rushed into her husbands arms
and mingling her tears and kisses with
his ditto, and both fell on their knees be-
fore Judge Lewis to beg his mercy. Judge
Lewis told them, 81 want po such nonsense
here" and fined the man 1886, which the
woman paid, and few minutes later they
were seen lovingly riding toward their
peaceful home Westfield (Mass.) Letter.

To turn from him In act or thought;
My soul was sick Of sin and woe,
And longed to be white as snow,

After the heavenly mansions glow.

American Cars and Engines in Italy.
An American correspondent writes To us
from Milan, Italy, calling attention to the
necessity of American manufacturers
adapting their manufactures to the wants
and habits of the countries to which they
export Speaking of the street railroad
from Milan to MOnza, which was opened
| in 1876, he says: "rhis road has tried
Swiss, French and American cars. All
concede that the American car is the best,
with this fault only-the platforms are too
small. The average Italian prefers the
platform, where he has the privilege of
smoking, and the Directors not being al
lowed, as with us, to take inside more pas
sengers than they can seat, very much pre-
fer large platforms, where people stand
packed like sardines. However our cars
stand the racket and theirs do not. There
is hardly French or Italian car upon any
of the roads here that is not, to use a sailor
phrase .hogged.' The line from Milan to
Vaprio opened on the Sth Of June, 1878,
and has been great success. ltwas start
ed with steam alone, running three cars
and sometimes four. The engineer had
the good sense to try all the different dum-
mics in the market-Swiss, French, Ger
man, Italian and American. The latter,
owing to delays In transportation, came
too late to be accepted by the company,

stocked Its road. 1t was tried, however,
upon the road, and in my opinion was a
success, but it was a success under difficult
tics The machine was consigned in
pieces to a man who knows nothing about
machinery; it was put together by another,
who, if anything. is prejudiced in favor of
Italian work; it was run by man who
likes the English machine. However, it
did its work well and was eventually sold
TO new company running out of Turin,
where it came to grief, and is now, says
one, up for sale at half price. Perhaps
this may be owing to the fact that the
Cassell company has already three engines
on the road running by its own men, or it
may he, as 1 heard to-day, that the Ameri-
can company has ordered the machine out
of service until it has time to send one of
its own men to manage it / sincerely
hope the latter is the case. When will our
American manufacturers learn that it is
better not to send out any machines at all
than to confide them to foreign mechanics,
whose interest it is to run them down and
afterward copy them? At no matter what
cost, the first machine should be accompa-
MED by a skilled mechanic; afterward, let
them do as they like, you have always the
record of the first machine to show"
