Railroad rrain Hobbea.


ST. LOUIS, Sept. 9-Regarding
the train robbery the following are
the particulars: The train was the
west-bound express. 1t had one
hundred passengers, all whom lost
something and many quite heav-
lily. Frank Lombard, news agent,
says: I was sitting in the smok-
ing car talking with conductor
Jack Hazelbacker. We were on
the up grade, four miles from In
dependence. All of a sudden the
train came to stop. We heard
loud voices and pistol shots and
saw lanterns flashing. We knew
the train robbers were on US.
Hazelbacker ran back into the
train and warned the passengers.
They were all looking out of the
windows until the robbers ordered
them to pull in their heads and
Keep quiet. The robbers had an
obstruction on the rail and were
signalling. am sure there were
doz en- of them, although some of
the passengers place the number at
sixteen. Everybody was panic.
stricken and helpless ran out of
the car and found the men murder.
lug the engineer and fireman.
They were poorly masked, but all
armed with Henry rifles. They
were swearing loudly and
shooting at random. Some
passed into the mail car, but did
not touch any thing. Express mes
senger Fox had III the meantime
barrcaded the express car. They
elm bed up on the car, ran around
and began to shoot. They then
broke into the Car and knocked
him down by a violent blow on the
head. They robbed the safe of
everything. 1 ran back into the
smoking car and hid most of my
money. The robbers came in and
ordered me to lie down. l did so.
They pointed revolver at me and
ordered me to "fork Over.n I said
my money was under the
cushions. They .old me to get it
and l got it in a hurry,
you Can bet. They went back to
the other cars and made whole
sale robbery of money, watches
and jeweiry. Some of the passen-
gers secreted their money, but the
majority lost ali. The ladies were
compelled to sit down on the floor
and some had the earrings torn
from their ears and many lost their
jewelry. One man lost $3.50. In
the meantime freight train was
coming up behind US and Burton,
brakeman, came down the track
with u storm of bullets behind
him. After the cars were gone
through the robbers jumped off
and struck.

Notes fro nm Long Branch Reporter


NEW YORK, Sept. 9.-The Irt-
6tVae's Long Branch reporter inter-
viewed DIR. Hamilton, who said he
soberly stated that the President
has made some progress to-day,
but he is not out of danger, and 1t
would be we'll for the public to
postpone their celebrations and
thanksgivings for a time. The
doctors and attendants are human
beings as we'll as professional men,
and their heart.strings ihave been
kept at a great tension for a long
time. The change for the better
has caused a rebound In their
hopes which finds expression In
somewhat extravagant terms.
Moreover they we're talking for the
most part to persons who have
closely followed the varying fea.
lures of the disease in their min
utest fluctuations, and who were
expected to place expressions of
confident hope in the scales against
the events which have preceded
them, and gather the truth from
the balance. The result is cheer
ing.

How to Detect Adnlteratcd Coffee.

Ground coffee affords a field FOR adul.
teraiion, and for this purpose chico orv
carrots, caramel, date seeds, etc, are
the substances most commonly used.
The beans have OF late years been skill.
fully initiated, but as coffee rs mostly
purchased in the ground condition, the
chief point for the consumer is to be
able TO form some idea as 10 the charac-
ter Of the latter article, and the follow
ing are q few simple and reliable tests
Take little Of the coffee and press i,
between the fingers, or give it a squeeze
in tho paper in which it is bought: II
genuine, it will not form a coherent
mass, as coffee grains are hard and do
not readily adhere TO each other; but
II the grains stick 10 each other and
form a sort Of "cakc." We may be pretty
sure Of adulteration in the shape Of
chiccory, for the grains Of chiccory
are softer and more open, and adhere
without difficulty when squeezed.
Again, If we place a few grains in
saucer and moisten them with
a little cold water, chiccory will
very quickly become soft like bread
crumbs, while coffee will take a long
time to soften. 4 third test: Take a
wineglass or a tumblerful OF water and
gently drop q pinch Of the ground cof-
fee on the surface Of the water without
stirring or agiiatinR; genuine coffee
will float for some time whilst chiccory
or any other soft root will soon sink:
aud chiccory or caramel will cause
vcllowish or brownish color to difruse
rapidly through the water while pure
coffee will give no sensible tint under
such circumstances for a considerable
length Of time. "Coffce mixtures " or
"coffee improvers " should be avoided.
They seldom consist of anything but
chiccory and caramel. French cof-
fee, +" so widely used at present, is gen
orally ground coffee, the beans of which
have been roasted with a certain amount

And so Miss Ann Azalea Harper's
grand scheme resulted in utter failure.
The screen was borne ignominiously
back, and Mabel More is now her
aunt's adopted darling. And Papa
Harper, instead of tendorly consoling
his daughter, says, grully:
"Its all your own fault !"

PEARLS OF THOUGHT.

In the world there are 80 few voices
and 80 many echoes
No conflict is 80 severe a. big who
labors to subdue himself.
True merit is like riyer-the deeper
1t is the less noise it makes.
Favors of every kind are doubled when
they are speedily conferred.
In love there are no treaties Of peace.
there are only truces. A grand safe
guard for doing right is to hate all that
is wrong.
The happiness Of tho human race in
this world does not consist in our being
devoid of passions, but in our learning
to command them.
In this world, says ChamioH, you have
three sorts Of friends-thoge who love
You, those who don't care a penny for
you and those who hate you.
Three things too much and three too
little are pernicious 10 man: To speak
much and know little; TO spend much
and have littlei TO presume much and
be worth little.

An Indian philosopher being asked
what were, according to his opinion,
the two most beautiful things in the
universe, answered: The starry heavens
above our heads, and the feeling Of
duty in our hearts.

Indian Holy Fairs.

In sailing down the GangeB during
the month of Katil, our October, one
may pass in the course of single day
half dozen holy fairs, each with mul-
titude of pilgrims equal to the popula-
tion of large city. All Of them are
rendered picturesque by the tents and
equipages of the wealthy, the variety of
the animals and the bright coloring in
which the natives delight those de
scendants Of the ancient Aryans Of In
din, ain many respects the most Won
derful race that ever lived on earth, ;"
as Professor Max Muller calls them.
At night all these tents and booths are
illuminated, so that the scene is hardly
less animated by night than 10y day, and
all without tumult and disorder.
Every one Of these localities is hal
lowed by some NEUROLOGICAL tradition,
and the firmcst faith is reposcd by the
pilgrims in the truth OF those traditions.
Ingrafted for hundreds, nay, thousands
of years in the minds Of the people,
they have grown up with them articles
of faith, strengthened with their
strength. your words are good,
Sahib; your teaching is excellent :
said some native head men of villages TO
a Christian missionary in Oudh, "but
10 and preach elsewhere. We do not
want it. Our fathers faith is enough
for rs. What should We do in your
heaven? You want Us to 20 there when
We die. We had rather bc with our
fathers who went before us. What
should we do in the heaven Of the
Sahibs?" This is no fanciful picture.
These are the very words spoken in
Hindoostaneo to an enthusiastic mis-
sionary by tho simple villagers.
And what could he say in reply? lie
felt the force Of them, although he did
not allow them to paralyze his efforts.
The religious mclas are attended by
thousands OF dcyotccs on the same prin-
ciplc that prompted the villagers words
to the missionary. They were observed
by their fathers. Generation after gene
ration has attended them. Hindoo, or
Moslem, or Christian the rulers may
be, but the melas are still the same.
and, looking back into the vista Of van
ished centuries, We still see the same
crowds, the same deyotions, the
same amuscments, food, clothing and
attendant animals. When Britons were
painted sayages it was so, and now that
Victoria, queen Of England, is empress
OF India, it is so still.-Nmeieeum Cen
