An Engineers Presence of Mind.

The locomotive Peter B. Brigham, at
tached to pay car, broke parallel rod
when about a mile this side of Messer's
Crossing, on The Manchester & Law
renee Railroad, this morning, which
came near causing very serious injury
to Engineer Charles E. Jones, aud to his
fireman, Charles P. Webster. The rod
broke on the fireman's side, and in some
way broke steam-cock, which filled the
cab with steam. Webster jumped from
the locomotive, and cut his hand and
bruised himself considerably.
Engineer Jones, with rare presence Of
mind, shut his eyes and mouth tight to
escape the steam, reversed his engine,
put on the air-brake, crawled through
the steam back into the pay-car, when it
was found that his face, hands and arms,
to his elbows were terribly scalded. His
presence of mind undoubtedly saved the
engine from further damage, and it was
set off on side-track to allow the pass
age of the up train, which was delayed
two and half hours by the accident,
Engineer Jones was brought to his home
by the up train and is as comfortable as
could be expected with such scalding
1t was very narrow escape for him.

The Canary Bird Trick.
London Telegraph
THE END.

Every woman does not know sham
canary when she sees it, but any woman
of experience might reasonably doubt
the value of feathered songster when
offered by hawker whose solicitations to
purchase are urgently backed up by ap-
parently chance passers-by. This, the
familiar bird trick, was successfully prac-
ticed by trio of cheats on worthy
woman few days since, and the swim
dlers were condignly punished by Sir
Thomas Dakin, at the Guildhall Police
Court, on Monday.
Mrs. Mary Cannon was passing the
Meat and Poultry Market one day, wien
certain Jane Savage offered her a seem
ing canary for los. Jane had plausible
tale. 1t was most valuable bird, but
cher missus couldn't abear them scream
in things" because she was an invalid,
and therefore "Dicky" had to be sold.
Mrs. Cannon at first declined, but a
young man, who came up "promiscu-
ously," offered 15s. for the bird, declaring
that his father kept large shop in Lead
enhall Market, and could get E3 for such
treasure. Ii she would buy it he would
take it off her hands for 5Os., only he
must first run off to get the money.
Then appeared on the scene a third
performer, Edmund Savage, who urged
the last conner to bid another shilling.
Thus induced, Mrs. Cannon paid los,
and became the happy possessor of a
green linnet. colored yellow, Needless
to say that the young man never re-
turned with the Sos, and that the pris-
oners, when apprehended, "gave unsatis.
factory accounts of themselves" The
Alderman dealt with the three very
severely, sentencing the men to two
monthS imprisonment each, and the
woman to three weeks, all with hard
labor, and this, with the publicity given
to Mrs. Cannon's experiences, will, i,
may be hoped, spoil the sham bird mar
ket for little while. .

NAPOLEON,s AMERICAN DREAM
How Joseph Bonaparte Fled and
His Brother Stayed.


The following deeply interesting ac-
count, never before given to the public,
of the escape of King Joseph from
France, and his voyage to America, was
communicated to the author by Adolph
Maillaird, of San Rafael, California, the
son of Louis Maillaird, the devoted Sec
retary and most confidential friend of
the Ex-King:
"a few hours before embarking on
the French brig which was to take him
to the United States, Joseph sent Mail
lard to the Emperor with a letter
urging again his brother to exchange
places and make his escape from France
in Joseph's vessel. But Napoleon replied
verbally to the messenger: Tell my
brother that have we'll considered his
offer, and that 1 can not accept it. 1t
would seem like flying away from dam
GER besides ! could not leave behind me
50 many brave officers, who have sacri-
feed everything for me. Tell my
brother that hope he will escape the
cruisers of England and arrive safely
"Joseph on receiving this last answer
sailed Immediately for America. Had
Napoleon accepted, he would probably
have reached New York safely, as every
precaution had been taken to avoid de-
lection. The vessel selected was small
common-looking brig, the Commerce. of
200 tons, loaded with a cargo OF Bor-
deaux wines for a market. She was a
fast sailer and was strongly built and
was commanded by skillful captain
Messervey, Swede by birth. Although
three times on the high seas the brig was
stopped and searched by English frigates
which were on the lookout for Napoleon,
the passports and papers of the passen.
gers on board had been so carefully pre-
pared under fictitious names that they
were not discovered, The captain of the
brig did not even know who they were
until a few days after Joseph had landed
in New York.
'The newspapers having published an
account Of his successful escape, and
given the name of the vessel, the poor
captain could hardly contain himself and
called at once upon Louis Mailliard, who
assured him that it was true, and pre-
'sented him in all formality to King
Joseph. But why did you not tell me?'
said he, 4 never would have betrayed
him. Mailliard had to-, explain to him
that it was thought best to conceal the
real names and positions of his passen-
gers, for fear that be might have shown

strange story of Iowa school Funds
[Des Moines Qows) Leader.] 4.

The late report of the Superintendent
Of Public Instruction of Iowa contains
a statemant of losses to the school funds
of the State by deficits in reports of dis
trict officers for the seven years COM
mencing 1873, which presents truly
startling condition Of things. From
this it appears that the total losses for
the seven years foot up the immense
sum of $49l ,51S 81, an average of $7O.-
ZIG 90 per year, Of which the teachers
fund lost 1862, ,470 so, the .school-house
fund $175,144 So, and the contingent
fund $4,000 48. This statement of
losses reveals either gross carelessness or
dishonesty in the school district Treas
.lrers Or others who caused the losses,
and shows there is pressing need for i'm
mediate and far-reachihg reforms in the
methods Of handling school money.

The pastor of one of the London
churches is notorious for his nervousness,
On recent evening, having given out a
hymn, he forgot to make an announce
ment until the organ was pealing its
loudest. "Oh, stop! stop! stop" he
cried, to the great surprise Of the congre-
cation. The organist pulled up very
short. Then, with perspiration on his
brow, the parson turned TO the congrega-
ton and began: "During the singing Of
this collection the hymn will be devoted
to the purpose Of. Then he saw his
mistake. 1t was too late to mend it.
He looked round in horror and paused,
forgot what he was going to say, made a
tremendous attempt to recover his mem.
ory, and, failing, cried with piteous
plaintiveness: "The purpose of-what-
what told you this morning" The
whole congregation burst into a loud
laugh which no effort could restrain, and
the remainder of the service was nothing
better than "merry noise" ..

Peeps mercy; and Nelly, who, if she had
not known, had at least guessed all that
he had to tell, listened to the old, old
story with mixture of joy and terror.
What was she to call forth all this devo-
ton, and how could she ever repay it!
All this time Mrs. Peel was enjoying
herself very much in the next room; she
was chatting with some pleasant COM
patriots, and not in the least troubled by
her daughters absence. A very lax
"chaperon," according to Italian views,
it never occurred to her to watch Nelly
in society. Suddenly she saw her coming
across the room on the Professors arm.
Something in their aspect revealed to
her their secret at a glance. The anec-
dote she was relating to her neighbor
stopped short on her lips; she rose hur-
riedly.
ut is so late, mamma; let us go home" !"
whispered Nelly, giving her mothers
hand tender squeeze. "I have some-
thing to tell you; and please be kind to
him."
Professor, Professor, come here and
be scolded," cried the Marchesa, with
an imperative wave of her fan.
The Professor only bowed with dep
ricating shrug, and turned to offer his
arm to Mrs. Peel. But Spazzagalera had
forestalled him, thereby unconsciously
doing him a great service.
"Well, Professor" sneered the Avvo-
cato, looking back with malicious grin,
as he conveyed the bewildered Mrs. Peel
through the crowd to the ante-chamber,
"When are you going to favor us with
another discourse on the Ideal Womanw
Our hero smiled serenely.
Not at present, Advocate" he replied
with elaborate politeness.
Then in the ear of his blushing CON-
panion he whispered softly:

Probably Mrs. Peel was not very un-
kind, for in the autumn of the same year
the first column of the Times announced
the marriage of Professor Marco Marcotti
with Miss Eleanor Peel, younger daugh-
ter of the late Edmond Peel, ESQ, and
niece Of Professor Thomson, of Edin-
burgh.

COOKED ALIVE.
Two Brothers Throw Each other
Into a Seeth ing Caldr0n.

Huntsville miss independently
One of the most sickening affairs, if,
indeed, it is not the most horrible, which
it has ever been our duty to chronicle,
happened last Saturday on the premises
of Mr.. Solon Kelly, about eight miles
from Huntsville. There was hog kill
ing in progress, and two colored men,
Robert and Dennis Patrick, got into
dispute about each others share in the
years crop. A long kettle filled with
water was near by. The water in the
kettle had been heated to such high de-
gree that they were waiting for it to cool
little in order to scald hogs in it.
The water was SO hot that they were
afraid it would "set" the hair of the hogs.
This was the high temperature of the
water when the brothers began to quar-
rel. Dennis, who was the elder, @told
Robert that he would put him in the
kettle if he didn't shut up, and Robert,
the preacher brother, told Dennis that if
he put him (Robert) in that water he
(Dennis) would have to 60 with him.
Dennis caught Robert and pressed him
DdCkWdTu III tlle ulTtCtlOu VI CHo hottlO'
He pressed him, both of them having
their arms locked meanwhile, until they
both went headlong into the kettle Of
seething water.
Their piteous, awful screams and
means soon attracted Others to the place,
who finally extricated them from the
white-hot caldron. They retained their
senses when first taken out, and their in
tense agonies were simply beyond descrip-
ton. They at once complained of their
hot clothes, and when these were taken
from their limbs, great fakes of boiled
flesh went with them, leaving their bones
exposed. Their boards fell out and their
hair dropped from their heads They
had literally been cooked alivel The
sight was such that those who witnessed
it were well-nigh paralyzed with horror.
All possible measures of relief were tried
during the night, but Robert died next
day and Dennis died on Monday.
