A Case of Caution.

A case of excessive caution developed some serious results the other day in Hartford in the matter of the purchase of church pew. The auction was fixed for certain day, but one of the promi- nent gentlemen of the church, who for some years past has paid $50 each year for his pew, was unable to attend. He requested friend to bid it in for him. Later he met another friend, and in- cidentally mentioning that he would not be able to attend the auction, asked this friend also to see to it that he had his old pew as heretofore. The auction took place and the pew was put up. "Fifty dollars" said friend number one. " Fifty-one," said number two. Fifty three," !" Fifty-four," and on till there had been thirty-eight bids, when one friend, thinking he had gone as far as discretion permitted, stopped, and the other took it triumphantly at $88. "Put it down for Dr. -" he said, and the astonishment of the other bidder knew no bounds. They had been bidding against each other both in behalf of the same gentleman, who had forgotten to tell number two that he had also spoken to number one. It helps the receipts so much.

A Log Railroad.

A log tramway or railroad in use by the Richardson Brothers at their mill, south of Truckee, is very ingenious piece of machinery. Logs. ten inches or a foot in diameter, are hewn round and smooth and their ends are coupled together by iron bands. These logs, laid side by side upon graded ground for distance of perhaps three miles, form the track. Of course the road looks quite like an ordinary railroad track, except that logs are used instead of rails, and the ties are at much greater intervals. The wheels of the engine and ears are ccncave on their outer sur face, and fit the curve of the logs. The power is applied to wheel in the mid dle of the forward axle on the engine. The most remarkable loads of logs are hauled upon the cars, and the affair is a decided success. It is very cheap, it's construction is simple, it is not easily damaged, and it's operation is all that could be desired. By means of this log railroad the Richardson Brothers are enabled to get their logs to the mill from the forest, three miles distant, at cost far less, than it is ordinarily done.- Tretckee (NeV, Republican.

A Love Picture.

The course of true love, which has been running with proverbial asperity in St. Louis, is picturesq uely described by the Republican. Miss Lulu, from Mississippi, wrote to her mother an- nouncing the fact that at last she had met her fate {; in word, she was engaged to her hearts choice, and until now love had seemed myth. To this epistle came reply from the proud Southern mother to the effect that she could never relinquish her daughter-the apple of her eye-to perfect stranger that she could never allow this stranger to snatch from it's fold the one lamb left to cheer her old age, her one blossom whose life had been as dream of poetry. Then came the request for Miss Lulu's inn mediate return to her Southern home. When these facts were imparted to the anxious lover he, with all the ardor of youth and eloquence of love, implored her consent to an immediate marriage, thereby barring all Instructions. At first the fair girl wavered, but when she reflected that her mothers consent could never be gained she yielded to her love as strong as life itseIf-7and just be- fore starting for the train minister was sent for and the happy couple were privately married in the parlor of Mrs. H. Then came the sad adieus, when the wife, bidding her young husband an
 l. the home of her childhood, hoping soon to conciliate her mother and gain a recognition for her lover. Dreary weeks went by, until at last, like the loving daughter she was, Miss Lulu confessed her secret, relying on the unselfish love of a mother, and soon telegram was sent to the lover announcing that the good parent was prepared to receive him and give him her blessing.

SelhshnesS.

Selfshness cannot flourish where mag nanimity reigns. The man of large soul sees far beyond his own little orbit his heart thrills in sympathy with joys and
 sorrows that touch not his own life.
 Like the astronomer, who sees our earth to be but speck in the great universe, he sees himself to be but a speck in the great humanity that lives and. .throbs all around him. Instead of fixing an in- tense and microscopic gaze upon him. self, with his little round of interests, his large heart swells with sympathy for others and his hand hastens to do them good. Generosity, however liberal, may be self-o conscious but the essence of magnanimity is to forget the claims of self in the ysarning for others, to pass by the less in the search of the greater.

Singular Recovery.

The Columbus (Ga.) Enquirer says |: The steamer Florida, on her way to Sa- vannah, was caught in storm off Cape Romano, and had to put into one of the many bays on the coast of Florida. She cast her anchor and made everything snug, but the storm continued to in- crease until her cable parted, and she drifted about mile out. AS soon as steam sufficient was raised to force her against the wind, she put back, and again cast anchor. After the storm was all over, they hauled in the anchor and brought up with it, hanging to one of the flukes, the one lost the day before, showing that the second anchor was cast in identically the same spot, some thing which could not have been done Intentionally once on thousand trials having nothing to guide them excep

Drud ge-MOthers.

Ev cry one planes the fne-lady daughter and pities the poor drudge mother.
 The daughter sits in the parlor, in nice clothes and elegantly arranged hair, dawdling over a novel, or chattin g with companions or. friends. Her mother is toiling in the kitchen, CT fretting her soul in the vain attempt to reduce her pile of mending," and at the same time look after tum bling baby.
 The mothers face is worn and thin. Baby has pulled her hair askew. She still wears the old dress that she put on in such hurry at half- past five in the morning, when baby woke her from a weary sleep.
 She is tired! She is always tired. She is tired on Saturd day, and she is tired on Sunday; she is tired in the morning, and tired in the evening she goes to bed and gets up tired.
 It is hard not to be angry with the daughter, we confess. She can look in her exhausted mothers face, and know how much work there is to be done, and never willingly put forth hand to help her. Nay, she is going out to tea this evening, and will come to her mother to have her dress adjusted for the great occasion. She casts much of the burden of her existence upon the too generous heart that she does not appreciate, and never once feels the impulse to give the aid of her youthful strength.
 In all our modern world there is not an uglier sight than this, no, not one. It is but natural to throw the blame of it upon the daughter. Heartlesa wretch P we have heard such a girl called by indignant acquaintances.
 She is to be pitied. rather. When she was little child, all lovely and engaging, her mother said to herself, "She shall not be the drudge I was. She shall not be kept out of school tc do homework, as was. She shall have good time while she is young, fol there is no knowing what her lot will be afterward."
 | And so her mother made her youne life long banquet of delights. Rougl places made smooth for her; al diMculhes were removed from her path The lesson taught her every hour fo: years and years was that it was no grea matter what other people suffered, l only her mothers daughter had goot time.
 She learned that lesson thoroug hly and frightful selishness was developed ill her.
 Her eyes may fall upon these lines If 50, we tell her that people in genera will make no allowance for the fault of her bringing up. They will merel, say, " See what shocking and shame full return she makes for her moth CT indulgent and generous care."

An India MesmePlzer.

Strange stories come from India of the feats performed by a native mesmerizer named Buni, whose magnetic power would appear to be found quite irresistible by the lower animals, upon which he exclusively exerts it. He gives seances, to which the public are invited to bring all manner of ferocious and untamable wild beasts, and holds them with his glittering eye. In a few seconds they subside into condition of cataleptic stiffness, from which they can only be revived by certain passes which he solemnly executes with his right hand. A snake in state of violent irritation was brought to Buni by a menagerie proprietor, enclosed in a wooden cage. When deposited on the platform it was writhing and hissing fercely. Buni bent over the cage and fixed his eye upon it's occupant, gently waving his hand over the serpent's restless head. In less than minute the snake stretched itself out, stiffened, and lay apparently dead. Buni took it up and thrust several needles into it's body, but it gave no sign of life. A few passes then restored it to its former angry activity. Subse quently a savage dog, held in a leash byits owner, was brought in, and, at Buni's command, let loose upon him. As it was rushing toward him, bristling with fury, he raised his hand, and in a second the fierce brute dropped upon it's belly as though stricken by light ming. It seemed absolutely paraly zed by some unknown agency, and was unable to move 8 muscle until released from the magnetizer's spell by a majestic wave of the hand.

way: He had been sent for to lay out an aged man with whom he was we'll acquainted, who had died, as was sup posed, of paralysis. Arriving at the house, he was requested to go up stairs to the bedroom, where the body was lying. Up he went and while remov- ing his coat was dumfounded on seeing the supposed dead man rise up in bed and in hollow tone of voice articulate, "Helloa. John, how are youP Shake hands," Tue sexton was almost frozen with horror, but in moment recovered himself and shaking hands said, "I came up, Sam, to see if you didn't want me to make new kind of gruel." The sick man assented, the gruel was made and carried up, and the affair passed off. Sam lived until the next day, and when the sexton was again summoned there was no resuscitation, as life was ended.
 A Muscov;te letter carrier, last July, stole registered money parcel con- taining several thousand roubles, and two days later resigned his appointment, retiring into private life with the resolve to have good time upon the proceeds of his fe1onious achievement. By and by the theft was discovered and traced to him. His arrest followed, and stock to the value of 7,6O0 roubles was found in his posses sion. Like prudent man he had invested his booty in good securi- ties. About three weeks ago his trial came off before 8 common jury at St. Petersburg. He acknowledged his crime, and pleaded in attenuation that his salary had been an absurdly small one, and that he had been for a. long time past penetrated by the ambition really to enjoy life, if only for single day. He had taken the money uncon- sciously and, finding it in h1s pocket, had spent part of it in realizing his long cherished dream. This plea made so favorable an impression upon the jury men impanelled to try his case that they acquitted him unanimously without l leaving the box.

A gentleman of well-known family re- turns his liabilities at e119, ,545, "with assets consisting of books and other articles of the value of three pounds ten shillings, subject to claim for rent of apartments" His unfeeling creditors insisted on appointing committee to inquire into the process by which this result had been reached.
