Queer Freak of a Locomotive

An accident occurred on the T. Z. and

There was no warning however. The

is more strange, kept on its wheels until
it came to standstill, where it stood
clear of the man track.
The remainder of the engine and
train kept the track and ran past the
engine about n quarter of mile, when
it was brought to a stop by putting on
the brakes.
The iar..of the collision was SO slight
that but few passengers were aware of
the accident until told.

American VS.. English Girls.

American women, despite certain fan
tastic figures in recent English novels,
and despite half truth caricaturists of the
"Irene Macgillicuddy" school, have no
reason to complain of o lack of admir-
ing appreciation from their British
cousins of the number of instances of
the strongest possible proof of it. The
latest CT these-the marriage early in
the present month of Lord Girantley to
Miss Mac WEEK.-MRS. made the occasion
Of some very pretty compliments by the
London Truth, whose title in this case
is not misnomer. at is curious" the
Truth observes, chow many American
girl, marry EAglishmen. This is because
they know how to make themselves
pleasant. English girls are, as rule,
either too gushing and talkativc or have
nothing to say for themselves Amcri-
can girls unite the fact and savoir vivre
of Frenchwomen with the solid qualities
of the Anglo-Saxon race They know
how to set off their natural advantages
with dress, and they are almost
always philosophically good temp
cred" This is gratifying, and as
regards the educated American
young women with whom English
society has been made most familiar,
substantially correct, 1t may be doubt
ed, however-and this of course has no
personal but merely general applica-
tion-whether or not on the whole Eng
lish husbands are likely to get on with
American wives as well as American
husbands are with English wives. Eng
lishmen are bred to look for habit Of
direct and unquestionablc obedience in
the women they marry, which, be the
theory what it may, III American prac
tice is apt to be modified. Women in
this country are habitually much more
spoiled than in England, and, after the
first flush of novelty and admiration, an
American girl welded on the other side
Of tho ocean is likely to find out the
difference and not likely to enjoy it.
The American man, on the contrary,
accustomed to give way to women much
more than his transatlantic kinsman,
is often charmed by the Difference and

English wives are so commonly trained

little about the business of the farm as
they do about the properties of life, to
abuse the farmers for not housing their

clip from the city agricultural papers
But the truth is farmers do carefully
have their implements protected from
the weather at all suitable times And
their is no need of this general abuse
of their characters. There is no excuse
for calling every broken down merchant,
inefficient nechanic, or any man who is
too stupid or too ignorant to make liv-
ing at anything, but who has been by
poverty and craving appetite, driven on
