The spring signaling instruction
has commenced at Fort Preble, an
hours drill each day. For this army
system of signaling is claimed su-
perior simplicity over all others. its
advocate claim preference for it over
the Morse alphabet, and certainly it's
messages are more easily transmitted
by ordinary appliances: No sailor
ignorant of a code should be allowed
to 60 to sea in any capacity of CON-
mand. Magnetic telegraphs and Ed"
isou telephones are we'll enough in
their place, but ship on ice shore
needs its officers and the coast guard
to be we'll instructed in Myers Code.
It should be tsught in all our schools.
We give the alphabet below for the
benefit of the curious. The second
columns are the equivalents for which
the corresponding letters may serve
as contractions. With four of any
two kinds Of things, fixed signaling
can be done. Calling ones right
side one, and his left side two, he can
transmit any message by waving
handkerchief according to the follow
ing table.

SINGULAR FREAK OF AN ENGINE.
An accident occurred on q local
railroad in Illinois, that is proba-
bly, without a parallel in the his
tory of railroading. As a train on
the evening Of that day was near
Glassford, going at the speed Of
nearly forty miles an hour, a co"
suddenly bounded in front of the
engine. There was no warning
whatever, the front of the engine
passed over the animal, and in do
ing so was lifted clear Of the rails
and uncoupled from the TENDER
Going at such high rate of speed,
it continued some twenty yards
on the ground, tearing it up and
even uprooting a stump in its mad
career, and, what is very strange,
kept on it's wheels unit! it came 10
a stand still, where it stood clear
Of the main track. The remain
der of the engine and train kept
on the track, aud passed the en-
CINE about a quarter Of a mile,
when it was brought to a stop with
brakes. The jar Of the engine was
so light that but few passengers
were made aware Of the accident
until told. The engineer sat on
his seat throughout tho affair, q
mere spectator of the queer freak
of his engine, and no one was
hurt or even scared.

THE PAPER TAX

Whatever else may be doubtful
about the intention of the authors of
our tariff laws, they undoubtedly
meant to place on the free list all
materials used in the manufacture
of paper. It happened that pulp Of
wood, which is by far the most i'm
portant element in the manufacture of
paper used by the daily and weekly
press of the country, was not spec
ifcally and by name exempted from
duty. Under Treasury decision
which held that this verbal omission
was fatal to the free admission Of wood
pulp, few manufacturers Of that
article have been able to impose an
exorbitant tax on the general body OF
paper-makers, by whom it is Of course
shifted on the consumers, the news
paper publishers Of the country, and
the burden falls with special hard
ship on publishers outside Of the
great cities-We, consequently, being
impoverished so that a handful Of
monopolists may grow rich. The
most powerful champion of these
monopolists is RepresentiVe Garfield.
Were his opposition to the bill with
drawn, the restoration Of wood pulp to
the free list, where it belongs, would
be accomplished in few days. While
his opposition continues the monop-
olists are secure. Can Mr.. Garfield
afford to continue his support ofa
most odious and oppressive tax which
brings in no revenue to the Govern
ucut, but which iuterferes very de-
cidedly with the dissemination Of
knowledge among the ople?-Er.

gsIsetsn Story.
AT LAST

Hugh Fenton stood looking at
her, bis face full Of white pain,
his grave, handsome eyes showing
eloquently the anguish and deso-
lation of his spirit.
For, a moment earlier, Lola
Bourne had refused him-gently,
tenderly, with distress on her
sweet, pure face, and keen regret
that she was forced to make him
suffer so, in her low, pitiful tones.
But, for all her sweetness and
tenderness, and sympathy and dis
tress, she had been resolute.
Il do thank you for your regard
for me, Mr.. Fenton-I shall ever
remember it as one Of the bright
est spots in my life. But and
her voice had lowered TO an in
expressibly gentle tone, whose
very carefulness and pitifulness
maddened him, I do not love you,
and l would not dare marry
where | did not love-
She was so sweet and winsome
to see, so womanly and delicate
for girl OF nineteen, and so love-
ly in her beauty-slight, grace
fnl, digniied, always little more
grave and thoughtful than other
girls of her age and position in So
ciety, and even more grave and
dignifed since the troubles had
come upon her that left her to
face the world without parents or
money.
Hugh had always worshiped
her., since the time q year or so
before when her father had taken
him home to dinner one evening,
and introduced him to Mrs. Bourne
and Lola, with an after ardent
recommendation to their notice
and friendship.
And now when, in one little
|-half-year, there had occurred the
startling series Of pitiful calami-
ties to the girl, her parents both
taken from her, and the rnagnif-
cent home literally sold over her
head, it had been, as Lola said:
one of the brightest memories of
those inexpressibly weary times
that Hugh Fenton had offered her
his hand and love, his name and
fortune.
Only she could not accept be-
cause, as she had gently, honestly
told him, she did not love him !;
and to such a girl as Lola Bourne,
Hugh Fenton's fortune and social
position were no temptations
whatever.
Hugh stood looking at the
sweet. pure, pale face that his
heart and soul so longed to gather
to his breast, and kiss forever
away the solemn shadows out OF
the dusky eyes.
But [ cannot have you 60 out
in the world and be bufeted
about as a cruel destiny arbltrarl-
ly chooses he said. Lola, even
if you don't love me, let me take
you and care for you Lola, my
dear little girl, do you think l can
endure the luxuries and elegan-
cies Of my lonely home, knowing
the woman I love, the woman l
want, is working for daily wages,
perhaps hungry, perhaps not suit
ably clothed, often weary and
| lonely, and certainly with no one to
cherish and protect On, my
darling, be merciful Come to
me, and let me teach you how to
love me. l will try to be content
with what you can give me-
friendly trust and regard. Lola,
think again, l pray you'll!
She shook her little dusky head,
that was so firmly and proudly
poised on her fair white throat.
1t cannot possibly be, dear Mr..
Fenton. | am not afraid to face
the world, but l am afraid to be-
stow my hand where my heart
cannot be given =
