THE CHRISTIAN CAR.

The newest enterprise relates to a
"Christian" car to be attached to
moving trains on the New York, New
Haven and Hartford Railroad. The
proposition is to set apart a car where
passengers can listen to Scripture. read
ing and prayers during their journeys to
and from the great metropolis. 1t has
often been supposed that men needed a
sort of triple plating before committing
themselves to the vicissitudes of life in
New York. The Directors car would
be the proper thing.

General Keller has been elected Speaker
of the House Of Representatives. He

not because he was particularly fit for

Do Birds Bury Their Deadi /,

While strolling through the woods at
Goguac Lake yesterday afternoon, I
suddenly came across half dozen birds
of the variety known as brown-thrush or
mocking-bird. They were all busy
working at some object on the ground.
and did not notice my intruding till
was upon them, when, with shrill cry.
they flew off a short distance, and
perched on the trees TO watch my move
ments. Having. my curiosity aroused. I
went to examine what I supposed was a
nest of young birds, when TO INV sur
prise found the dead body of female
thrush, which had been killed by shot
from some hunters gun, and had fallen
where it lay. The birds which noticed
about 1t had been covering il over with
leaves, sticks, little tufts Of grass, etc.,
until only its feet stuck out. Immedi.
ately the story of the Babes in the Wood
covered with leaves by robins came 10
my mind, and all seemed real as the
time when in childhood read the story
and believed it to be true. Anxious to
see what the birds would do, I stepped
back of large tree to little distance
and watched them. Slowly the birds
came back one by one, and continued
the work of burying the dead bird

A Pretty Little Romance OF the Penn.
s, sylvania Flood.

There is quite romantic story told In
connection with the land-slidcs on the Bal
timore g. Ohio Road. A McKeesport (Pa.)
young man named Gardner was engaged to
be married to West Newton Pa.) young
lady named Miss Nellie Downs, and the
wedding had been arranged for Thursday
evening, and accordingly the ardent lover
boarded the Uniontown accommodation on
Thursday afternoon, with the intention of
reaching West Newton in time for the cere-
mony. As fate would have it, however, Just
as the train reached Scotthavena large land
slide was encountered, and as . matter of
course further progress was barred, and, to
make matters worse, when the train was
run back to Armstrong another landslide
was encountered at that point, and thus the
train was held on both sides by great bar
riers of earth.
This was not the worst, however, for when
the young man bethought hinfof telegraph
ing to his lady love he found himself in q
still greater dilemma, upon making the dis
covery that the heavy masses Of earth and
rock which fell from the hills had broken
down a number of telegraph-poles, and, Of
course, carried the wires with them, thus
cutting off all Geographic communication.
But even under these adverse circumstances
the young man did not give up, for he
procured o torch, and. together with
nine or ten other male passengers and
two ladies, was piloted over the
mountainous obstruction by the train
hands, who supplied the party with torch
to light them on their way, and, after a he
roic and wearisome trudge over ten miles,
reached the residence Of the lady late Mt
night. and, although muddy and weary,
arrived in time to have the ceremony per-
formed, and at eleven o. clock that night the
happy couple were made man and wife.
The lady Is said to possess equally as much
nerve rs her husband, IS she was at the
time night operator at McKeesport, and
during the long hours Of the night sat with
q very pretty little revolver by her side, pre-
pared to defend herself against all iutrud-

The Ohio Campaign.
New York aerald.l


Politics, az the country has by this time
found out, is very serious business in
Ohio. And so, perhaps, it happens that
while all the rest OF the Republic is en-
deavoring to keep cool and shut out ex.
citing topics, the Buckeye State precipi-
tates upon us the first campaign of the
season.. The Republicans have already
set their squadrons in the field, and re-
vamped the old played out issues that by
all sensible people have been remanded in
to the domain of ancient American politics
and history. The Democrats with proven
bial stupidity follow suit. They have not
given us n single new idea, and the plat
forms they have just adopted is the same
old political rigmarole they have been
constructing for years and years. To be
sure the Republicans are in precisely the
same political poverty-stricken condition,
All that they care about is to hold the
Offices, and apparently all that the Others
are considering is how TO turn their OPP
ponents out and install themselves in pos
sessi on. This is all there is to the struggle
in Ohio, and the people of that State will
have to make up. their minds which side
they prefer personally. In the convention
there were some eloquent dissertations on
the religious ideas and sentiments OF PAN
and the philosophy of Socrates. What
does modern Democracy know or care
about either Of them The whole thing
looks like political burlesuue
