An Actor.Preacher.

CHARLEY PARSONS, who was forty
years ago . famous actor in Louisville,
Ky, was . vigorous and handsome
young man, and the promise Of his &C.
MUS was then ~ bright ~ Forests or
Booths. After . few years of active
stage life . change came over the spirit
Of Parsons's dreams, and at one Jump
he bounded to the extreme Of social lim-
it-from an actor to . preacher. At
that date . Methodist church was situat-
ed on Fourth Street, in Louisville, and =
theater was just around the corner on
jefferson Street, and an announcement
for one night was Richard ILL.,, with
Parsons As the humpback tyrant. The
audience had assembled at the thea
ter, and there was . crowded house.
The first act had been called, when it was
reported that Parsons WAS not on hand.
In those days it WAS not an unusual
thing for prominent actors to be missing
at the time for the performances to COM
mence, and several jokes are told Of
managers having to take their principal
actors out OF pawn before the curtain
could be rung up. So the absence Of
Parsons was not . surprise. The mys-
terry was, "Where is hee" No one
could answer the question, and all The

How to Make a Cold Frame.

THE following note from Mr.. G. A.
AlacBean will answer the inquiry of q
correspondent who wishes to know how
to construct a cold frame for Keeping
plants through the winter: GA cold
frame intended for wintering towering
plants is made by eHcavatiDg the soil
from two to threeteet deep, wide enough
Tor the regular siX,foot hol-bch SASS,
and OF Il suitable length. The pit thus
formed is lined with either brick, stone
or boards. The lining should extend
Jour to six inches higher than the earth
line on the south side, and from six to
ten inches higher on the north. Pits can
be made 10 fiji other sizes Of sash. BIT
he regular hot-bed sash is regarded as
most suitable. A sheltered and we'll
drained spo. should always be selected
in building y frame. Plants intended
for cold frames should be well rooted in
the pots before placing them in the phi
in the bottom of which should be placed
a quantity OF some loose material. as
tsnbark, leaves or sawdust, in Will h
the pots should be plunged. Warm
mats or other good coverings are need.
ed for severe weather: but air and sur
shine should be admitted on every pos
sible occasion. Slight waterings on fine
days during the winter will be necessary.
One writer recommends making the cold
frame from five to six feet in depth. -

One Of the most simple and effect
i've processes, it would appear, for pre-
serving the dead, has recently been
brought forward in Germany. BY this
method, it is stated, the dead bodies Of
human beings and animals fully retain
their form, color and ilcxibility contin-
uously, and may be dissected, while de.
cay and offensive smell are entirely pre-
yented--the muscular flesh, upon Incl
sion, presenting the same appearance as
in the case of fresh dead body. The
liquid used for this purpose is prepared
as follows: Three quarts boiling water,
three and one-half ounces alum, six
drachms common salt, three dracims
saltpeter, two ounces potash and two
and one.half drachms arsenic acid; the
salts are dissolved in the water, and
then there are added two pints Of gly-
cerine and one.haif pint Of wood alcohol.
The embaming is accomplished by
simply satuiating and impregnating the
bodies with this composition, from one
and a half to five quarts being used for
q single body.

The Terrible Octopus.

THE ferocity Of the octopus is unde-
niable; but doubt has hitherto been cast
on the old stories which represent this
unpleasant creature as being in The
habit OF selling and swapping boats.
It is admitted by scientific naturalis's
that the hideous thing, known to ire
ancient world as the polypus, and 10
modern boatmen rs the cuttletish or
squid, attains to portentous size ard
strength in the warmer seas, and is very
powerful aud even dangerous. It's vo-
racity and the peculiar violence with
which it attacks and rends its prey are
well known to those persons who have
seen it, weakened by captivity, and rem
dered less eagerly rayenous by the
abundance of food ready to its thousand
hands. 70 speak by the card, these
number 500 in all, and are rather to be
called fingers tina hands. But what
fingers! Each is powerful sucker that
expands and contracts with rapid and
ever-changeiul motion, and there are
one hundred and twenty Of them to each
Of the eight long. writhing, restless
arms With eyes fixed on lis adversary,
and with parrot-like beak advanced COR
the encounter, this most unsigh.ly of all
living things inspires awe by its loath-
someness not less than by its power to
harm. That it will turn and fasten upon
Il human being, ii augered Or menaccd
with capture, is a well-established fact;
and recent occurrence reported from
Adelaide goes far to revive the old story
that polypus will venture on attacking
the hull Of q boat. A telegram from
Port Elliot, published in the South Aus
tralian papers, states that on the 20iI.
Of August last "Trooper Bruce and
man named Edward were out in the bay
near Lipson's Island, examining a piece
OF wreckage, when their boat was en-
:ircled by the tentacles of a large OctO-
pus and pulled over till it was nearly
half fall of water, and in great danger
Of being swamped. The occupants es-
capped with the utmost diiliculty-Lon-

The Most Wonderful Railroad In the
World.

The Callao, Lima, Oroya Railroad,
in Peru, generally known a. the Trans
Audinc Line Railroad, is probably tho
most wonderful railroad in existence.
1t was contracted by Henry Meigrs in
1869 at a cost of S2l,S4o,0G0, or $27,.
0OU,OOo in bonds. Work was begun il,
January, 1870. When commenced,
The English company had got the right

could get no special rates for his mater
ial. The enormous cost OF freightinc

ruinous to build. One day there sud-
denly appeared hundreds OF men evident.
II making a railway from Lima to Cal
lao. The English company went to sec
about it, and then got an Injunction to
stop the work. Mr.. NJ. calmly asked
them whose land the workmen were on,
and then they tound that he had quietly
bought up all that land and was build
ing a private road on his own grounds
for his own use. Leaving Callao the
road is in the finest condition. Ballast
ell with cobble-stones no dust crises :
trains every half hour aud the fare is
forty cents; four separate dcpots to &C.
commodate different parts OF the city.
No one who makes round trip on the
road ever repents it and seldom desires
second. The heights and distances
are so great that few heads are not af-
fected.
From San Mateo to Anchl the road
passes the Intermillos. Nearly pcrpen.
dicular walls from 1900 to 5000 feet
hem in the River Rimac, having width
of from 200 to 400 feet. At firtt it was
proposed to make cut in the side of
the mountain, but fearing the fall of
rocks it was decided to tunnel. Miners
were let down with ropes one quarter
and one-half mile long to certain indi.
Gated points on the rocky walls every
800 feet or less, and after they had en-.
tered few feet began working to the
right and left, using the entrance from
which to throw excavated material.
About midway bend IN the river made
it necessary either to make q dangerous
curve or span the chasm. The latter
was chosen, and now bridge unites the
two tunnels about 400 feet from the bed
Of the river. Emerging from the second
of these tunnels at Anchi, the road is re-
crossed, and the road follows up the
River Blanco q few miles, which it
crosses and then enters mountain,
where it turns around in . curved tun-
mel, and emerging a few hundred feet
above, recrosses the river and returns
and passes Anchi and continues up the
River Rimac. At Chicla, few miles
further, the road passes the town, re-
turns, crosses its own track and the Ri
mac, returns and again doubles on itself,
having passed Chicla more than five
times.

Fencing.

AMONG the most perplexing ques.
tons affecting agriculturists at the pres.
ent time is the subject of fencing-with
what material to fence that will be du-
rable and at the same time safe from
endangering tile life of stock. The Old
time worm rail-fence can not be thoug ht
of except in timber regions. The fence
Of posts and boards will last but few
years until it decays. The Usage hedge
answers an excellent purpose where
there are no weak spots in the line, but
they are frequent, and on much of the
land the whole thing is impracticable.
The barbed wire has of late been the
material round which the hope of the
farmer has centered, and this, while
making barrier for the large domestic
animals that is impregnable, has other
serious objections that render an abso.
lutte reliance upon it IS extremely doubt
full. From very many sources come the
complaint of valuable animals being lac.
Grated and sometimes MANNED for life
from coming in contact with it. Not
long since an acquaintance came very
near losing an eye, while putting up .

intended to held the wire in place flying
out, and the wire being drawn out Of 4

1t is possible that our domestic ami.

accustomed to look out for its presence

avert the serious consequences that
have SO often attended its use so far.
Yet we are of the opinion that to make

Tertiary Man.

PROFESSOR BOYD DAwK1Ns, in his
recent address at the meeting of the
British Association, described hyp0thet-
ically the habits of the cave men who
succeeded the ri-er drift hunters: They
dressed themselves in skins and wore
gloves not unlike those worn at the
present time. They Wore necklaces and
armlets, and probably pierced their
ears for the reception Of earrings for
ornamentation. They used red rad.
died, and, indeed, some Of the practices
of the present time might be looked
upon distinctly as being survivals. The
skins with which they clothed them
selves were sewed together with bone
needles, and from the sketches they
had left behind on bones and pieces Of
skin and the like, it appeared that they
were able to form distinc, idea OF the
creatures which they hunted, the repre-.
sensations thus left probably being the
trophies of the chase. They were
fowlers and fishermen, and it was evil
dent from the figures Of animals which
had been discovered that the hunters
OF these times had great facility in rep.
resenting forms Of animals on bone; but
their attempts at representing the
human form were rude. They had also
left behind them evidence OF the art of
sculpture. They were ignorant of
metals. They had no domestic animals.
Apparently they were not in the habit
Of burying their dead. We we're not
aware Of what sort Of physique they
had, but there WAS reason to believe
they were most closely related to tho
Esquimaux. They were wholly differ.
ent from the river-drift men. The river.
DRIFT man was In . state OF primeval
savagery; the cave man was Of . higher
type, but in his turn WAS wholly inferior
to the farmer, herdsman and merchant
who followed him. We had this proof,
said the Professor, Of the development
of the human race in times before bis.
tory began, and Il occurred to him,
they had no reason for fixing any limit
- to where progress would end, his
opinion being that man would 90 ON

in the arts Of civilization until in per.

be as superior to the men of 1880 as we
were superior to the early hunters and

There has been lately turned out at

blood from raw flesh. 1t is said to be a
preventive Of scurvy, and to do away
among peasants with all desire for alco-
holic drinks. The difficulty of blood
coagulation being overcome, the ''blood
