1000 Miles in a Canoe.

A canoe voyage. unprecedented in the
annals of canoeing in this country, was
undertaken and successfully accomplished
by Mr.. Charles +. Chase correspondent
for the Boston Journal, who traversed a
distance of over 2, 900 miles in his canoe
Bubble, craft fourteen feet long, thirty
one inches in beam, ten and one-half inches
in depth, and weighing,,abOu forty pounds
Mr.. Chase started ON his trip on the 7th of
May last, from the foot of East 10th Str. +,
n. Y, with his tiny vessel loaded with
provisions, change Of clothing, shelter tent,
all compactiy arranged in the limited space
of the hull of his boat, and proceeded up
the Harlem river to the Spuyten DuyvIl,
and entering the Hudson commenced in
real earnest his solitary voyage. Proceed
ing along that majestic stream, under
paddle and sail, Mr.. Chase soon reached
Tarrytown, where ne stopped for the night,
and the next morning continued his cruise
and reached Waterford, the end Of the
nevigable Hudson, in ten days after leav-
ing New York. From Waterford he pad
died through the Champlain canal to Lake
Champlain, over which he cruised for some
time, and finally reached Rousc's Point, at
one extremity of the lake, by dint of hard
padding. as he had constantly to encounter
head winds. Passing from the lake to the
Richelieu river, the voyager glided by some
of the finest scenery on this continent. and
through q region to which railroads and
steam are comparatively unknown. From
the Richelieu river he entered the St. Law
renee, and sailed up that broad stream to
Quebec, were he was Hospitality received
by some of the leading residents and the
Palisade Boat Club. After remaining q
short time at Quebec, he travelled by portage
over one hundred miles to the Chaudiere
river, and launched his canoe on this beau
tiful stream. Padding some distance along
the river, he remained nearly two weeks at
the Chaudiere Gold mines, discovered a
short time ago, exploring the magnificent
scenery, and examining the mines, which,
10y the way, Mr.. Chase says are returning
a handsome profit to the English company
who are working them. From the Chau-
dierc Mr.. Chase travelled by portage to
Wheeler's Mills, in Hereford township,
Canada, and entered Hull's stream, a tri-
butary of the Connecticut. Entering the
Connecticut, the canoeist followed i S tor
tuous course to Long Island Sound, and
padded down to Little Hell Gate, and
entered the East river on the morning Of
the 20tk ult, and landed at Captain
''Bill, S" boathouse, his starting point,
seventy eight days, four hours and forty
rive minutes after his departure, and max
ing the longest canoe cruise ever attempted
in this country. Mr.. Chase related TO an
inquirer the story of his cruise, which was
replete with incidents, his canoe on three
occasions having holes stoves in her while
shooting rapids in tie Canadian streams,
and his kind recpetion by people living on
the route of his journey, surprised at his
attempting to make so long journey in SO
frail craft, and did all they could to make
his stay al their dwelling places COM

Railroad Incidents.

.'Oh, that's nothing" faceiiously re-
marked Carpenter. ''Jule Parker once told
me about his running after two full grown
bucks on a Southern railroad" Parker
was chivalrous, daredevil Southern en-
gineer, then running the lightning expresses
on the Eastern Division OF the Erie. ''He
said," Carpenter went on to relate, THAT
the pair of bucks suddenly bounded upon
the track from thick wood, and so fright
ened were they by the roar of the approach
ing train they started down the track not
more than twenty feet in front of The en-
gine. Parker put on all the steam his boiler
would make and carried his train along at
a break-neck speed, but in spite of his
fireman's efforts he could not turn his
drivers fast enough TO overtake the feet
deer lie never said how fast lie was
running at the time, but we know the man
and when he told that he was going at
'breakneck speed we can imagine some
thing about 1t The road was a splendid
onefor speed. 1t was mostly new, the bed
was in prime order, but notwithstanding
his engine chawed up fuel as fast as his
fireman could feed it 10 her, he could not
run the deer down. 1t looks astounding,
but he said he finally chased them after a
run Of ten miles into village. There they
left the track, ran up and down the streets
as wild as COWS, and scared the people into
spasms, but before doing any serious harm
were shot and captured. Parker sail he
greatly enjoyed the venison steaks that
were afterwards presented to him by an
old bootmaker, sixty years old, who was
the lucky shot"
''DId you ever hear Hughey' William
son tell of his adventure at Washington
vile on the Newburg Branch!' asked Car
penter. Williamson is another know-no-
danger runner, and is now on the road.
Fisk selected him, because of his courage,
to run the Chicago relief train. ''Well,'
he went on to say, ''that was rarity, one
that seldom occurs. Williamson was in
Newburg when he was telegraphed to run
to Greycsurt to assist pulling a big six
wheeler on the track that had run of

King John OF Abyssinia.

King John, of Abyssinia, although only
in his thirty eighth year, has already proved
himself man Of no ordinary calibre, both
as soldier and a sovereign. He has thrice
defeated and all but destroyed the invading
forces of Egypt, while at the same time
making head against the disatfection Of two
powerful vassals, vino have since made
submission and accepted commands in his
army. Among his immediate attendants is
the Ras Warenia, the conquered Chief OF
the Amhara Province, who seems quite con-
tent with his position at the court Of his
conqueror. A traveller, who spent some
time with the King in his camp at AM
bachura, describes him rs short in stature
with small hands and feet, but perfectly
proportioned and possessing great strength
and endurance His finely cut profile, del
icate mouth and chin, and almost feminine
smallness of ear. are striking enough in a
barbaric African chief. ''He is grand to
see on his beautiful charger" continues the
narrator, carrying his spear and shield,
barcheaded and barefooted, with only the
great toe of each foot in the stirrup which
is merely silver~-ring. He is 4 splendid
shot, and very fond of fire arms His de
meanor is extremely simple, being entirely
devoid of the boastfulness and vanity that
distinguish most savage princes; and he is
naturally Of studious disposition. well
read in the laws 81 Ethiopia, and of remark
able temperance and piety of life" King
Johns ceaseless activity and wonderful Ca
pacity for business recall the popular de-
scriptions of Frederick the Great, to whose
personal habits his own are in some points
closely akin. He rises every morning at 8
and reads the Psalms Of David by candle
light for two hours. Then comes church,
after which he holds his court of Justice for
several hours, often before tasting food.
The rest of the day is divided between State
affairs and the native sport of gohacks, a
sort of javel;n-throwing, like the Moorish
djerid. The evening hours are spent in
study, and by nine he is in bed, as belts
such an early riser. The Kings ordinary
dress Is the simple native kaH'ie Oh white
blanket, with a crimson stripe along the
left side. These are tie symbolical cOlors
OF the Abyssinian Church, the white typify-
ing the innocence of our Saviour, and the
crimson His atoning blood. The King pro-
fesses great friendship for England, and has
placed translation of the Queens letter to
him iu every church of his Kingdom. One
Of this model rulers London agents was the
late well-known publisher, Mr.. Henry 5.
King, in whose store on COrnhill the auto

to be seen.

berg with nothing but his engine, and,
having clear track, you can just bet he
flew. He left the rails echoing behind like
a never ending waterfall. The station
agent at Walls Gate rushed to the door
wild with fright thinking it was a runaway
engine, nobody on it. AT Salisbury Mills
the population of which village is but
few feet from the track, the people rushed
out of their houses utterly dismayed and
unable to believe their own eyes They
thought it was 4 spectre, which they could
not describe, so suddenly did it appear and
as quickly vanish again from sight. Over
the Washingtonville flats the gait was 81
rapid, the telegraph poles looked like
blades Of grass, they were so thick. After
turning the curve of the WashingtonvIlie
station, 'Hughey' espied hand-car full
Of track hands, rails, tools and forth. They
had no sign of flag out, and did no. ex-
pect anything along. He Immediately con-
cluded that he could not stop in time, SO
he only blew his whistle to warn the men
to jump of. There were dozen of 'em,
and they had a wonderfully narrow escape.
He picked up that hand-car; rails and al,
and sent 'em fiyin' in the air in all direc-
tions. A low hana-car with rails ON it
pointing at You is the most dangerous thing
you can possibly hit, but the rails this
time, instad of piercing every paIt Of the
boiler and engine, swerved off and did
little injury. Ihe dinner kettles OF the
laborers flew up like popcorn on a frying
pan, and crowbars shOvels, picEaxes,
tamping bars and spikes made a complete
kaleidoscope in the air. One of the axles
of the car, to which was attached one
wheel, bounded over the smOke-stack and
came crashing through fhe cab window on
the freman's side, who was nearly killed
in his great hurry TO get out of the way.
The most OF the car landed on the frort Of
the engine, and before 'Hrghey' could stop
he had carried it through one Of those old
fashioned covered wooden bridges nearly a
quarter of mile off. In ali my expert
ence," concluded Carpenter, Il don't think
ever heard tell of such a miraculous es-
cape as 'Hsghey' had. He must have been
going through the air ike an electric cur
rent when he couldn't stop an empty en-
gine before hitting such 4 dangerous
thing -

russins Children to Death-A Railroad
Incident.

Opposite is young woman with little
child. An angelic child. This is no COM
mon creature, and it would be difficult to
exag ye ate her beauty. She is as deIcate and
dainty as fairy. At first one only saw the
lovely picture of rosy checks, deep blue
eyes, made quite angelic by dark lashes,-
the enchanting, laughing mouth, absolutely
Illuminated by the sweet baby teeth, and
the finishing touch of loose yellow curl
showing below the white cap. Very soon,
however, any woman notices that the child
is not only becoming, but very expensively
dressed, and when it becomes manifest
that the mother is probably the wife of a
mechanic, it occurs to one 10 wonder what
would be the emotions of a European
mother of this class on seeing a child of
hers arrayed in all this lace, embroidery and
the sOfteSt and showiest of woolen wraps.
At once all eyes are drawn to this sweet
est of sweet things-a beautiful child. The
first person TO notice her is pleasant look
ing man, who sits with his wife in the seat
next the baby. Something about them
makes one feel that this is childless pair
The baby, at this moment, is half sitting,
half lying, on her mothers lap, kicking up
one little red shod foot against the back of
the next seat She is almost the only un-
conscious creature in that car, as he lies
there perfectly happy and at ease. Friend
ly man stretches out mis- hand toward her.
Up springs the mother, and with a nervous
hand seIzes the little foot, puts the baby
ilto conventional attitude, saying with an
accent of horror: ''Why, Maud. Your foot
does not look very pretty up there"
''What is your namel' asks the man.
The baby, tless her heart has now
worked herself down again into her pretty
attitude, and again kicks up the little red
foot, making answer to the stranger. Again
the mother seizes the foot, glancing anx-
iously around 1t us all, and repeating: :''Why
Maud. Tell the gentleman what your
name is, tell the gentleman what your
name is, Maud Maud, tell the gentleman
what your name is
Baby is gazing happily now at bird in
cage hanging near, and visible through 4
rent in the paper cover; but the mother
cannot leave heT in peace, and begins, 4 vlg
orous pushing back of the yellow hair I'M
der the cap. We can all feel how it pulls.
That done, she stifTens up the angel in her
lap into the attitude Of a wax doll, and be-
gins the exhibition again: Cant you tell
the gentleman how old you are!'
"Most two" the baby answers prompt
ly.
''Oh, no; not most two, the mother says
solemnly; 1.-TWO years old, Maud; say two
years old" And then-Maud, say this,
and Maud say that, is repeated over and
over, the little victim being shown of and
put through her PAGES, without moments
peace or rest, for so long that it makes
ones ears and heart ache
1t is a relief when the friendly man
reaches out his arms to the baby in gentle
way, and sne raises her blue eyes to his,
and seeing that yearning look there which
a love of children often puts in mans
eyes, and which even very young baby
