Midway between OpolistOn and Ma
troville was junction of three rail-
roads. Tracks crossed and curved
around each other till the ground ap-
peared to be covered with an iron net
work.
How it happened no one ever learned,
but two switches had been left mis-
placed, and as the train bound from
Opoliston to Matroville came thunder
ing on it shot off in the wrong direction,
then seemed to stand still for a second,
then seemed to shiver all over, and the
next second the engine lay on its side,
under two coaches, its driving wheel
revolving so that no spokes could be
seen, fiinging earth and stones and ashes
| like a volcano.
Then, ere any warning could be given,
on rushed the train from OpOliston
bound for Metroville. A shrek from
! the whistle, and engines, cars, baggage,
railroad ties and tracks became one
unsightly mass, half hidden by escaping
steam.
In five minutes the discovery was
made that no one had been killed and
very few injured, and those but slightly
There's young lady lying on the
depot platform who says she thinks her
leg is broken" said an old gentleman to
group who were assisting the ladies.
Is thereP" said a young gentleman
who was wrapping bandage around
an old lady's wrist. "Ah, now, that's
done nicely" he continued, addressing
the lady. Now" he added, turning
to the old gentleman, ''if you will con
duct me to the young lady will &C
with you. / am a surgeon"
: The surgeon was Arthur Delaney
and his conductor presented him to {
very pretty young lady who was reclin
ing on rough couch extempOrized o
mail bags. She had very pretty blacl
r eyes and black curls. She did not ap
. pear to be in much pain, and smile,
5 archly at Arthur.

In Belgium the flying of pige ons has
become national pastime. In no coun-
try on the globe is the raising of carrier
pigeons carried on to the degree of per-
fectiOn that it is there. And in no coun-
try does the raising of pigeons and the
transporting ofthem for racing purposes
form such an item of importance to the
government as it does there. Here are
some figures which seem incredible, but
which are vouched for as official. "
The pigeon fanciers of Belgium paid
$50, 900 to the Belgium government as
freight for transporting pigeons last
year alone. 1t is claimed that ], 500, 900
pigeons were taken from Belgium into
France-the former country being too
small for the starting of any important
races within its own bounds - during
1879. The greatest race of recent years
was thar of last year, from Rome to
Brussels, distance of 900 miles. Eleven
| hundred birds were entered and less
| than two hundred ever returned. The
rest were lost one way or another. -Four
of these birds, singularly enough, got to
! Philadelphia. They were picked up at
sea by an Italian vessel, the Clara Pick
ems, bound for that port, a short dis
! tance off the island of Majores, in tho
! Mediterranean, 400 miles from the land
| so tired that they ahghted on the ves-
sci and were caught while asleep
! These birds had their owners marks
stamped on their feathers.

The evidence taken before the court Of
inquiry into the Tay bridge disaster
brought out nothing of any importan ce,
except the fact that one of the officials
IN the south side of the bridge noticed
sparks issuing from the train through
out nearly the whole distance between
the south side of the bridge and the high
girders. These sparks appear to have
been due to the great pressure of the
wind grinding the train against the
rails on the eastern side of the bridge.
One of the guards gave evidence to hav-
ing witnessed the same thing on a previ-
Gus occasion, when a very strong west
wind was blowing, and TO its having so
alarmed him that, thinking an axle was
broken, he put on the brake. At the
point, too. where the catastrophy oc-
Cured. the rails were broken out on the
eastern side, as though torn up by the
excessive pressure of the train from
their place. For the rest, nothing has
been discovered, nor is now likely to be
discovered, as to the character of the
disaster, except that one witness living to
the west of the bridge, but above it, de-
clared that he saw girder give way
and fall into the river before the train
came up.

In deepening a river In the neighbor-
hood of Norrkoping, says the Timber
Trades Journal, in order to make it ac-
cessible for ships of heavier draught,
among several objects of interest
brought up from the bottom. eight oak
trees were found at depth of seven feet
under the old bottom. The bark was
almost decayed, and when it was taken
off the wood was found to be hard and
black, resembling ebony. The trees are
supposed to have been lying in the
earth 900 years. The trees have been
sold to firm of joiners, who intend
using them for cabinet work.

A short time since an item went the
rounds of the press to the effect that w
J. Chappelle, a show agent, who,
eighteen years ago, befriended a young
Irish girl, had received $500 from the
girl, who it seems had married a
wealthy Californian. The item went on
to say that the money was sent to pay
Chappelle's expenses to California only,
and the inference was that he would be
made rich man by the grateful Irish
girl of years past. People who read the
item with tinge of envy toward Chap
pelle and regret that they had allowed
number of golden opportunities to cast
bread upon the waters to pass by un-
needed. thinking perhaps if they had
been little more liberal they might
now be reaping their reward-.people of
this sort will no doubt be pleased to
learn that the whole affair was a grand
hoax played upon the Snowman. He
thinks Wambold, the New York min
strel, is at the bottom of it.

The Kentucky house of representa-
tives has passed a bill to punish theft by
a male with corporal punishment by
stripes, not exceeding thirty-nine, or by
imprisonment, in the discretion of the
jury. The american ISrdeItte, in MOTTO
ing this act OF the Kentucky house, gives
the origin of the thirty-nine, or forty
less one, lashes. 1t says: The thirty
nine lashes are taken from the Raboni-
cal code. which modified the forty lashes
in the law of Moses to thirty-nine, be-
cause he who received that punishment
is called in Scripture Rasha, "a wicked
man. and the rabbis legislated that
none in Israel should be branded as a
Rasha for the commission of one crime
of that category therefore, they would
not infliet the full punishment of the
law on any culprit, and changed the
forty lashes to thirty-nine." Theft un-
der the Mosaic law was not punished
by stripes; a fine, or loss of liberty until
the fine was paid by the culprit's labor,
was the punishment for theft according
TO Moses.

When we limit the processes Of edu.
cation TO the mere repetition Of words,
we burden the retentivo faculties with
lot of cumbersome trash that can
never be Of any use, and that virtually
weakens and distorts the mind. The

mere sounds, without any meaning At
tached TO them, is absurd nay, bar.

by some that words so committed may
be retained for future use. But we

to crowd his memory with words
