HIS CONTINUOUS JOURNEY.

Recently o man with red mud on his
boots and WEAKNESS all over him entered
car of an incoming train at a station dozen
miles or. SO from New York. When the
conductor came along the weary man drew
from his pocket the last half of on excur.
sion ticket between New York and station
.5ome half dozen miles beyond where he
ntered the train, and on another branch of
the road over which the train had not
passed The conductor quietly returned
the ticket and remarked, "Not good" at
The same time pointing to stipulation on
,5he ticket, which said that in consideration
If the reduced rate the company would only
accept the ticket for zone continuous jour
ney."
The weary man looked inquiringly into
he glare of the conductors lantern, and
aid:
"Waal ?"
'You stopped over at the last station" !"
Exclaimed the conductor, land SO you are
not making 'one continuous journey"
r 'How do you know I amt? YEARLY
asked the passenger.
because this train hasn't been on the
other branch at ALL" said the conductor,
showing signs of impatience.
'What has this train to do with my con-
tinuous journey?" questioned the man, also
getting impatient.
As though propounding question that
would put stop to further talk, the con-
dtctor asked:
'Well, how could you make continuous
Journey on this train from place this train
doesn't go at all ?" Adding that the rules
of the company were peremptory, and mus
be enforced.
II amt said nothing about this train,
replied the weary man, evidently mucl
disguised. II footed it all the way to th'
junction. after found the last train hae
gone, and got here just in time to hang Oh
to this train as it was starting; and if tina
amt a continuous journey I'd like to knov
what is"
The hilarity of the other persons in tn
car seemed to annoy their weary fello'
passenger, and he explained, as the COZ
ductor passed on, that he would like t
know 'If the rules of the company prs
vented man from walking over their roa
on an excursion ticket"

HORSE CARS.

The first street car line in this country,
the Fourth avenue, N. Y, was opened in
1882 and the following year Mr.. Stephen
son took out his first patent for improve
nent in car building. No other roads were
opened in N. Y. until 1852, when the Second,
Third, Sixth, and Eighth avenue line, were
inaugurated. In 1867, Boston and Phila-
lalphia adopted street cars, and some years
.ftar the leading Canadian cities followed.
In 1869 the first street car line outside OF
}merica was started by George Francis
Train, at Brkenhead, England. The same
year road was built at Buenos Ayres,
;outh America. About the time of the
Vienna Exhibition, tramway lines were
built at Brussels and Berlin. Very recent.
ly they have been adopted in Paris, in
Russia, in South AL erica and almos
everywhere in the large cities Of the Eng
| ish colonies.

THERE would no doubt be much more
reason and justice in law forbidding
children to testify for or against their
PARENTS in criminal suits than there ever
was in similar law concerning husbands
and wives. In many of the most prom
lnent murder trials brought to public
notice within few months, the most i'm
portant witnesses were the children of the
accused. Notably was this true in the
cases of Bishop and Mrs. Cobb, and
Hunter and Anderson at Louisville, and
it is difficult to conceive Of more trying
ordeal through which child could be
forced to pass than this. With the awful
dread of sending a parent to the gallowS
on one hand, and the solemn RESPONSE
bility of an oath on the other, they
stand face to face with an alternative
Which is shocking even for older heads tt
contemplate. Surely the knowledge O
associationof childhood with such crime
as murder is sufficient, without burden
ing young shoulders or blighting youth
full hearts with the fearful remembrance
that the punishment Of their parents wa
due to their testimony.

THE most ungallant spirit of the Ill
inois Senatorial fight is that which
prompts the newspapers to drag the
name of Mrs. Logan into it, and slur at
her as if she, instead Of her husband,
were the candidate. The ST. Louis Post
Dispatch goes 50 far as to say that "there
are old women enough in the Senate
without her" Mrs Logan can hardly
be called an cold woman" She is not
old, and most assuredly has none of the
peculiarities that ignorance ascribes to
"old women" On the contrary, she is a
most accomplished and talented lady,
and that she knows more law and politics
than half of the members Of Congress
should not make her target for writers
whose quarrels are with her husband
Besides the bad taste which it shows
their slurs at Mrs. Logan will not in any
way help the opponents Of her husband

POETS AND TAvh1kGSS.

It is curious fact that SO many dive II
ings, once the homes of poets, should have
been public houses at one time or another.
Burns native cottage was house OF this
description; the house in which Moore was
born was a whisky shop; and Sheiley's
house at Great Marlow, u beer shop. Even
Coleridge's residence at Neither Stowey,
the very house in which the poet composed
his sweet "Ode to the Nightingale, became
an ordinary beer house. A house in which
james Montgomery lived for 40 years, at
Sheffield, was beer shop; and the birth
place of Krke White is now house for
retailing intoxicating beverages. Chambers

Rowing Cattle Now is the season
when the strength of fences is tried by the
rowing cattle of people who believe in rails
ing stock at the expense of their neighbors.
To person who has never observed it, it is
wonderful at this season to witness the care
with which the half-starved and rowing cat
tie will prowl around and carefully inspect
each panel of fence and each rail. And
woe be to your corn field if there be a weak
spot or rotten rail anywhere in the long line
of fence. How long will it be before the
few will learn the great necessity of keeping
their stock at home and away from their
neighbours CROP There is wise maxim of
law hich says, "you shall so use your own
as not to injure another" If you have no
desire to enrich newspaper men by paying
