Locomotive Engineers Responsibilities.

EOR every accident that happens an
engineer is liable to be blamed,
whether at fault or not. He holds the
most responsible position on the train.
The engine in his care is worth from
$4,000 to $4,000. Look at his duties.
He must keep his eye on the track
ahead, watching the switch targets by
day and lights by night. He must be on
the lookout for danger flag at all
times. He must keep informed of how
much water there is In the boiler by con-
stantly trying the guage cocks-must
neither have too little nor too much. He
must watch the time so as not to run
ahead of time nor to lose time. He has
the throttle and reverse lever to attend
to, and must see that the latter is in the
notch which will use the least amount
of steam-that is, make use of the ex-
pansive qualities it possesses. He must
be sure that the pump or injector, which
ever the engine is equipped with, is
working all right and putting the proper
amount of water in the boiler continu-
ally. He must watch the steam gauge
and the gauge which indicates the
amount of compressed air contained in
the reservoirs to be used for applying the
brakes. He must watch his air pump
and not let it stop, in order to have
plenty of. compressed air whenev',r he
has occasion to apply the brakes. The
whistle must be blown and the bell rung
on approaching stations or obscure
crossings. If he is running a freight
train he must also use good judgment in
keeping out of the way of first-class
trains. In all cases of danger ahead he
must reverse his engine, sand the rails,

Mrs. Boyd, with an Injunction to put the
wonderful knife in Walters stocking
that night, and the wax doll in his
slssy's--after which he took hasty
leave.
1t was quite dark when he mounted
the steps of the stately mansion of Wal
ter's grandpa.
"Tell Mr.. Warlow wish to see him."
said the little gentleman to the servant
who answered the bell.
"What name shall / say, sirY"
"I'll announce 1t myself, sir, was the
reply.
After some delay the servant returned
and conducted the stranger to Mr.. War
lows sitting room.
"I've just been paying visit to your
daughter and grandchildren" began the
little gentleman, without preface.
The announcement was received with
anything but pleased look. But be-
fore Mr.. Warlow could reply, his visitor
resumed:
"You had half brother Henry once,
who, finding you had supplanted him in
the affections of the woman he loved,
concealed his passion, and abandoned
home and country, leaving you to carry
Off the prize for which he would have
sacrificed his life. At length news came
of his death in strange land, and you,
who before had been poor, stepped into
his fortune, which was ample. Your
wife died, leaving you "a daughter, her
mothers image. 1t seems that when
she grew up and married man without
wealth, as her mother had done, you
could not forgive the offence, and have
left her children to struggle for bread or
starve DO speak truly 7"
"The question is rather impertinent,
sir. Surely am master of what is my
own"
"Yes; but not of what belongs to an
other"
"Your meaning is obscure" replied
the other, hautily.
The explanation is very simple"
"May trouble you for itp"
"HenTy IVdrlo,U is not dead!'
mot dead? you but trifle, SIR"
"Look at me, John !" said the strang-
er earnestly; and as John Warlow
closely scanned the others features, one
by one they came back to his memory,
and the truth flashed upon him that the
true owner of the wealth he had so long
esteemed his own, had indeed come back
as from the grave.
''Do not tremble and turn pale" Hen
| ry Warlow said. 81 have been prosper
GUS enough to gain new fortune suffi-
cient for my needs, and shall leave you
| undisturbed, but on one condtion-that
| you bring your daughter and her chill
dren to your home"
There was happy Christmas reunion
the next day in John Warlow's house.
Nor has Uncle Henry forgotten his bar
gain about Walter, whom he has taken
to live with himself.

This is title of a new book of
educational, social, legal and COM
mercial forms by Prof. G. A. Gas
KEEL of Bryant d Stratton's business
college renoWn, which is much SUI
perior to anything of the kind
which has previously emanated
from the press. That it is the re-
suit of a vast amount Ofresearch on
the part of thoroughly trained and
experienced minds is evident from
the most cursory glance at its well
filled pages. Embraced in the work
is self-teaching course in pen
manship and bookkeeping, and aid
to English composition, including
orthograhy, capital letters, punctu-
alton, composition, elocution, ora
tory, rhetoric, letter writing in all
its forms, the laws and bylaws of
social etiquette, business law and
commercial forms, complete die
tionary of legal and commercial
terms, synonyms, authorizations,
foreign phrases, poetry, etc.; also a
manual of agriculture and mechan-
les with a complete guide to par
liamentary practice. 1t will be seen
from this brief synopsis that the
work is unusually full and complete,
and embraces a great many more
subjects than any similar work
heretofore published. The abstracts
of the laws of the several states on
collection of debts, attachments,
arrests in civil actions, executions,
damages, exemptions from forced
sale, contracts, deeds, r.ghts of mar
ried women, etc, contained in no
similar work, is most excellent
feature. The tables, also, are invalu-
able. In addition to those usually
given are tables of the census. of
1880, a complete tabulated financial,
political, military and naval history
of the United States, history of
the several states and territories,
their state and municipal debts,
areas, governments, schools, col
leges, churches, railroads, etc., so
full of facts that they can be appre-
ciated only by reference TO them.
Nothing that such d work ought to
contain is omitted, and we assume
nothing in saying that it will be
by all who examine it.

REV. DIR. JOHN s. COLLINS, Pres
dent of the GAINESVILLE Female
Academy, as announced. preached
on last Sunday at the Methodist
church in this city. The sermon
was model of simplicity and ele-
gance, combining the beauties of
dictation and delineation to a de-
gree that was highly pleasing and
instructive.
The subject selected was the heal
of the lame man, who sat at the
Beautiful Gate, as Peter and John
went up together into the temple at
the hour of prayer. Acts III, 1, II.
Humanity (the term generically
used including woman as well as
MANI divided itself into two classes
the righteous and the wicked. Peter
and John were representative of the
righteous and the lame man of the
wicked. The preacher dwelt at
some length on the different respects
in which the lame man in his phys
icaI condition resembled the sinner
in his spiritual condition, such as
lame from birth, helplessness, utter
dependence upon another, humble
position etc, and then made touch
ing appeal to christians, earnestly
beseeching them not to let an oppor-
tunity slip of alternating and rails
ing to higher plane, and holier,
healthier and happier condition fall
len and degraded humanity, wher-
ever found, citing them to the bles-
there would be in the re-
ward of having these beneficiaries
of our labors of love to be waiting
and watching at the Beautiful Gate"
and closed by quoting with tender
pathos that appropriate hymn,
Waiting and Watching"
Many doubtless felt a deeper re-
solve to work more faithfully to
win souls for Jesus, and to do some
thing that would sweeten the glad
ness and joy of their meeting with
other souls in eternity.

THROUGH the kindness Of Prof.
Collins we were shown recently
some rare old books in the Academy
library, among which were two vol
umes of Stephens Thesaurus, orig
inal edition, printed in Paris
France, A. ID. 1872. These two vol
umes are bound in vellum with
thick wooden boards for sides, clasps
on covers and with strips of vellum
pasted en- the leaves for convenience
in turning, the paper is very thick
and heavy and the print is of the
quaint old style of the period they
are large folio in size and printed in
double columns to the page, one
column Greek and the other Latin.
An old price mark is discernible on
one of the blank leaves of 18f is.
per volume also the complete
works of Philo Judeas, Greek and
Latin, published in Paris, A. D.,
1910; and a copy of Wesselinguis'
Heroditus, Greek and Latin, with
foot notes, Paris A. ID. 1743. This
volume is a rare specimen of fancy
printing of those times, in some
places being printed in alter
nate colors of black and red, it is
also richly illustrated with fine old
copper plate engravings, well exc
cuted. These old works are rare
and valuable and to the philologist
very interesting.

Porter Rifles.

The Porter Rifles took the first
prize at Louisville last week and as
a matter of course, Nashville is hap
by. Their return home was a per-
feet ovation, the whole city turned
out to meet them and as their train
approached the depot they were
greeted by salYos of artillery and
wild and exulting cheers from the
multitude which had assembled TO
welcome the conquering heroes.
We congratulate the Rifles on their
success in Louisville, which with
their previous triumphs places them
in the front ranks of the crack mill
tary companies of the Union. We
think we can now safely say that
the old Volunteer State has the two
best drilled companies in America.
The Rifles with their record at
Nashville, Evansville, Bowling
Green and Louisville, and the
Chicks with their record at Mem
phis, st. Louis, Columbus, Cincin-
natl and New Orleans. 1t is a
mooted question as to which of
of these two companies is entitled to
the championship, so say the friends
of the Rifles, but the Chicks hold
the medal which has been award
ed them in the contest, they are,
however, willing, as in duty bound,
p meet any company of the state
Which may challenge them, and as
ATe understand both parties are ca
ger for the fray the next thingin ord
er is ii challenge, then comes the tug
of war and the best man wins.

The steamer j. p. Ewald passed
down Wednesday evening flying

old crew on the Ewald, and Will

We understand that the new boat,

1T has been fashionable for year
or two to visit the Northern lakes
or mountains. These resorts are
very pleasant in hot weather, but
they have serious drawbacks.
First, it is very expensive getting
there and back again. Then it is
still more costly to remain, as one
should, until Southern frOsts; for if
one returns home during the mala-
rial season he is much more liable
to suffer the effects of the poison
than he would have been had he
remained South all summer. Then
their distance from business and
other connections is an objection.
All these ram be avoided and more
than equal benefit secured by the
expenditure of less than half the
time, money and preparation neces-
sary for a Northern "trip. We have

ment visited every district in the
county, spending day at each
precinct, for the purpose of receiv-
ing taxes; the law does not require
this, but Mr.. Neblett did it for the
convenience uf parties living in the
country. He will be found hereafter
at his office in the Bank of Clarks-

their taxes for 1880 will save cost

Mr.. JAKE SEXON, who lives just
beyond Greenwood, reports some
thing which is new, to us at least,
he says that one evening last week
he noticed frog, an ordinary hop
toad, take position near a bee hive
which was setting on the ground,
and watching the bees as they came
out of the hive would snap them up
one by one and swallow them in
the twinkling of an eye. Mr.. Sex
on waited until the frog had thus
eaten fifteen or twenty bees when
he became thoroughly satisfied of
the immense damage which it could
do to hive of bees and killed it, he
then looked around through the
grass and found several other frogs
going directly toward the hives ev-
identity in search of their suppers. 1t
would be we'll for bee-keepers to
guard against these depredators by
placing their hives on stand out
of their reach.

Travelling sometimes improves

eradicate sectional and illiberal
feelings of brain and heart. five

fall, sometimes, into the idea that
we are better than others, and that
we know more than we really do.
We forget that the world is very

would only travel more we would
arrOgate less to ourselves, be more
charitable, less bigoted, aye, more
like unto God, whose omniscient eye
looks with Kindness, not on locali-
ties and personal opinions, but up
on the whole world and all the in
habitants thereof.-NeoEs Gazette.

his utter insignificance more than a
