A Maniac ut the Throttle.

At Parkersburg, wv. Va.,) q crazy
about catastrophe which might have
ended in the sacrifice of many lives.
He came to that place about 10 O'Clock
in drunken and crazy condition, and
went into the railroad yard, from which
he took locomotive which was attached
to four coal hoppers, and started down
the road at the rate of twenty five miles
an hour. He ran down the road about
five miles when he met the passenger
train coming West: Into that he ran
at full speed, wrecking both locomo-
tives, and throwing them. with the bag
gage car, off the track. The passenger
cars fortunately kept the track, and no
one was injured. The engineer and
fireman of the passenger train both
jumped off the engine when they were
almost together, and escaped serious
injury. futile, the lunatic, was found
lying upon his back in the wreck,
somewhat injured, but not seriously.
As soon as possible thereafter futile
was taken prisoner and sent to town to
Jail, where he is at present confined.
The indignation of the passengers was
very great, and nothing but the evident
fact that the fellow was crazy prevented
them from lynching him. The trains
were all detained several hours on &C.
count of the wreck. Tuttle stated af.
ter he had recovered from his drunken
frenzy, that he was totally unconscious
OF anything connected with the affair.

Just the Kind of Men Needed.

The other day while a well.known
conductor on the Central was walking
up State street he observed on the side
walk at his feet bright.looking coin.
Without the leastl expectation of rum
ming his hand into an old mine and
pulling it ont with every pore plugged
with 81 900 nugget, he stopped down
and picked up the glittering substance.
which proved to be nothing more than
new cent. Saying to himself, "Oho,
Just the tenth part Of good cigar" he
walked along. At the corner of Front
and Main streets he was gently tapped
on the shoulder, and turning around
beheld q regular Benecia- boy-looking
fellow about to address h,m.
my FRIEND" said the stranger,
didn't you pick up gold coin down
there at the corner Just now?"
The conductor eyed him just mo-
ment, and then said familiarly:
my friend, before I answer your
question, let me ask you one or two /:
Are you in good physical condition :?
. Are you acquainted with the exact To-
cslity of the city hospital? Do you
know the best surgeon in the city 2"
ooh, I can readily say yes to all
your questions" laughingly replied
the stranger.
"Then," said the conductor, "just
use your best endeavors to reach that
hospital in quick time; engage the best
room, one suitable for hopeless cases,
and see a surgeon Immediately, for I
have met such big loafers and conf
dence men as you before. I've trav-
eled, and this coin game is old. Git r.
Tho stranger got, and the next
time he sows o cent on the sidewalk,
hoping to reap gold coin, he had
better look out for men who have trav-
eled.-Rocheste Democrat.

GAMBLING AT CHURCH FAIRs.-Henry
Morgan, the Boston preacher, has car
ried his war on gamblers into church
fairs. Last year when, on a certain oc-
casion, he had twenty gamblers arrest.
ed, he found he was powerless to con-
vict them because they took refuge
behind the Church, which, they argued,
gambled sometimes as much as they.
They escaped without trial, and now be
says they are "plying their nefarious
business unmolested and undisturbed. "
At last Mr.. Morgan made public vow
that the first church in Boston, of
whatever sect or creed, which should
advertise, set up and promote lottery,
should be prosecuted to the full extent
of the law. Now lie finds, to his "grief
and sorrow" that his first indictment
must fall upon the Cathedral fair, at
present in progress in Boston, and
which has announced its intention to
resort to rafting for tho sale of many of
its articles. To this effect he has adj.
dressed letter to the archbishop.

A TASTE FOR READ1Na.-The man
who has taste for reading has ever the
means Of happiness within his grasp.
Give him q taste and the means Of
gratifying it. and you can hardly fail
in making him q happy man. unless,
indeed, you put into his hands most
perverse selection of books. You
place him in contact with the best So
ciety in every period Of history-with
the wisest, the wittiest, the tenderest,
the bravest and purest characters that
have adorned humanity. You make
him q denizen of all nations-a con-
temporary of all ages. The world has
been created for him. It is hardly pos
sible but that character should take o
higher, better tone from the constant
habit Of associating in thought with a
class of thinkers, to say the least of it,
above the average humanity. It is
morally impossible but that manner
should take a tone of good breeding
and civilization from having constantly
before ones eyes the way in which the
best bred and best informed men have
talked and conducted themselves in
their intercourse with each other.

from the one standing. Both. were
brought from Hellopolis by Cleopatra
and placed in front of the palace of
the Caesars. The New York obelisk is
much better preserved than the English

more distinct. It is one of the Oldest
obelisks in the world, and was con-
structed during that splendid era of
art of the twelfth dynasty. q thousand

Egypt could realize that the Khedive

Cut Bono 2

The Rochester Democrat and Chron.
icls says:
lis this poor world aware of the fact
that one of its greatest men 10 Charles
Rowell, pedestrian ? But what will be
the verdict Of history?"
The verdict Of history, in this, a. IN
all other affairs, will be that lion
lives longer than butterfly. Even
though he is a beast of prey. he has
business to attend to, and he attends to
it. The butterfly is merely sport.
The one great question Of fact which
decides all the verdicts of history is,
Cui bonoe What is it good for? OF
what use to his fellow men is man
who is good for nothing but to travel
round the country, playing base ball ?
One good, stout, farmers boy, at q
plough. tail, raising forty acres Of
wheat for himself to sell and other
people to eat, is worth dozen OF him.
He benefits himself and his neighbors.
The professional gamer benefits nobody.
He is as much luxury, and, withal, as
useless, as brass earring. He is q
butterfly. How much benefit is it to
the world to know that man walked five
miles an hour for twenty hours at q
stretch?
Was one of them ever known to 20
on foot from one place of exhibition to
another? No, indeed. He pays his
fare, and lets the railway do his walk
ing for him. If. instead of "follow-
ing pedestrianism," no were settled
down in some busy town, an unambi-
tious carpenter, building houses to
shelter some other people from the
weather, he would be filing space in
the world. He would be making his
living by helping his fellow men. As
it is, he is butterfly.
Whenever an uncomplimentary voice
is raised in regard to this nonsense, it
is met with the argument of muscular
development" Nobody has any fault
to find with muscular development.
But there are other things to be de-
veloped besides muscle. Men have
minds and morals. They may be
taught to be honest, and good, and af-
fectionate, as we'll as to throw a ball.
Nor is there anything magnificent in
the education of one set of muscles at
the expense of others. A pedestrian
who is all legs is no better than club
thrower who is all arms. Mind and
body should be educated in unison, for
each is necessary to the usefulness of
the other. History tells us of the
name of Beaucephalus. He was a
horse. and did good work. Can you
find, in any one Of all the books in the
world, an historic butterfly? Let
those stout legs and arms be of some
use in the world; and then may they
confidently answer the question, Gu
bono ?"

The Mysterious Sixth Sense.

It is often claimed that besides the
five we'll known senses of sight, taste,
smell, hearing and feeling, there is an
other, unnamed and underlined, which
reveals to us the presence of persons
or things whose proximity is not made
known by any Of the senses named.
How often we say " something tells u.s.
this or that, when we cannot define
what that something is. During
the war, sailing vessel, loaded with
miscellaneous supplies, went ashore
near Hilton Head. It was desirable to
get her cargo out as soon as possible,
and party of blue jackets were de.
tailed to 60 on board and "break her
out" The officer in charge was partic.
ular to inquire whether there was any
liquor ON board, but was treasured on
learning that what little there was was
in cask in the lower hold, underneath
the rest of the cargo, and that his men
would not come to it for two days al
least. Work began, and in two hours
the blue-jeckets, every man of them,

they came. Investigation showed that
Jacks unerring instinct had led him
straight to the grog. He had literally
sunk o we'll through the cargo until he
struck cask Of whisky, knocked in its
head, and imbibed its contents by the

pins is not surprising, but how did he
know it was on the ship? or knowing
that, how did he know how to com.
