An Adventurous Young Traveller.

About ten o'clock Sunday morning
Mr.. Tinsman, the station agent at Slate
Hill, on the Erie Railway, observed an
engine passing by at high rate OF
speed. Clinging to the coupling-pln IN
the rear of the tender was little boy
about eight or ten years of age. The
little fellow was in an exceedingly per-
ilous position, and should he lose his
hold or be shaken off would almost GER
tainly have been killed. Mr.. Tinsman
saw the child's peril. The engine was
then past him and could not be stopped,
but with rare presence Of mind he has
tened to the telegraph office and sent
messages to Johnson's, the next station,
and to Westtown, further on, ordering
them to flag the engine and remove the
child. He also sent message to the
general office at Jersey City, which re-
peated the message along the line. 1t
was received at Johnson's just in time,
and the engine was stopped. With anx.
ious hearts they stepped to the rear OF
the tender and found the adventurous
little traveller still il his place, unharm,
ed. He was sent back to his home at
Middletown on the milk train.--utltlfc-

Abnnt narlrls

Now that every newspaper in the
land is contributing little reminiscent
ces Of Carlyle to the general fund, the
Appeal has taken the pains to gather
up several anecdotes Of the great man,
which have never seen print.
About five years ago the Prince Of
Wales called at Carlyle's house, and
was asked to dinner. The great critic
gave the prince a bowl Of mush and
molasses, -reserving quail on toast,
frogs legs, and bottle Of Budweiser
for himself. The prince said:
81 don't like mush."
''Then guaw the tOothpicks. you
id impudent rascal. Who the devil
invited YOU to nv house, anyway?''
The prince was quite delighted with
the sturdy old ScOtcbman's bluntness,
and when he got home laughed very
heartily over it.
One day Miss Olive Harper, cores
pondent of the Alta, called to spend
the afternoon, and begged Carlyle to
give his opinion of the great writer's.
Il hope you adore Dickens?" she
asked.
''Never read the idiots bOoks?n
"Thackeray, of course you"
"a stupid ass. tell you, don't
mention Thackeray to me, or III brain
you with poker"
''Walter ScOtt?"

America wrapped around a bottle Of
California wine. The wine was beast
w.. and the letter like the wine, only
worse. Nothing but dregs. Here,
Jeemes, kick this woman out of the
house,
Miss Harper afterward wrote a
column letter to the Alta describing
her charming evening with the great
man.
/. When Daniel Webster was in Eng
land he met Carlyle on the street and
introduced himself Mistaking him
for Noah Webster, he gathered q brick
and knocked five front teeth in, shout
ing savagely:
care you the----W who de-
strOyed the English languageP'
Finding next day that he had made
a mistake and hit the orator, he was
very sorry that he had not known it at
the time and calling at the hotel with

this anecdOte, which he thought was
very amusing, and gave the shots to bis

A writer in TIHSJegS' lUJgUziRe says:
''HoteIs in India are worth noticing
The first with which l made aCquaint-
-auce was at Vizagapatam, kept by one
BabOO KriShna GhOsIl Bhat 1t was a
very fair. sample Of native hotels in In
dia. Something like q POmpeian house,
composed of pillars, half-rOOfs, peris-
tvles, atTium, etc, furnished with pun
kahs and kUs-kus tattles q. e., mats
made Of fragrant fibre, hung against
open windows and doors; in the hot
winds they are Wetted, and the draught
blows through them cool and refresh
ing). There was no furniture to speak
of, save two lame tables, three bottom
less chairs, and plenty of dirty white
wash and cobwebs, relieved by some
colOred German prints, such rs are pur-
chasable at theNur5m burgfairs for few
kreuIzers apiece. Pegs" Z. E., bran
DIV and sOda-WGtPr. were prOcUrable and
drinkable; but eatables were out Of the
question. everything was so abOminably
filthy. I was rescued from starvation
by q friend who lived some three miles
distant-at Waltair-Or L should have
had to perish from hunger or nausea -
In travelling up country in India, people
always take their servants to cook for
them, unless they can depend upon the
hospitality of friend. They also take
bedding with them, which is arranged
on q sort of horizontal harp, supported
by four legs, called a ''Charpoy." This
last preoautiOn is very necessary, as a
chaTpOy al HGtUTe}, as used by the na-
tives, would not be considered comfort
able by Europeans, who prefer mat
tresses to knolted cords, which, to say
the least, are calculated to impress 4
pattern on the flesh Of whoever repOses
thereon. The worst feature Of Indian
hotels, however, is that of the inner
mau administration. It is impossible
to give an idea of the mOHotOny Of the
bills of fare. Every dish, whether
boiled fish or rOast-jOint, Omelette or
curry, chop or vegetable, tasted Of and
was impregnated with gtee, which is
about the most disagreeable description
of grease with which l am acquainted
1t is worse than the bad oil in WaIla-
CHA. 1t would be vain for me to at
tempt to describe the distaste with
which / approached the table, or the
disgust with which left it"
