A RAILROAD TELEaRAPH.

Capt. Williams, of the United
States army, has recently success
fully tested a new invention of his
demonstrating the practicability of
the railroad Geographic instrument.
The wire runs along the bed of the
railroad track between the rails, and
the telegraph instrument is placed in
cay on the track, under the car,
connected with the instrument are
plates heavily charged with electric
ity. These plates, though foot
and half above the wire that runs
along the bed of the track, are so
charged with electricity that they
take a message from the wires or
transmits one from the instrument to
the wire. The advantage of the in
vention is that you can send or re
ceive message while the train is in
full motion. They sent kilograms
from one train to onother while both
we're in full motion. Capt. VII
liams, the inventor, is we'll known in
Atlanta, having married Miss Lizzie
OVERLY, one OF Atlanta's bellies.

A WILD ENGINE.

While Engineer Webb was driv>
ing his detached locomotive aong
the track near Hartford, Conn, the
other day, he saw that the locomo
tive of train on a siding projected
somewhat upon bis rails. He knew
that there must be smash-up and
so jumped for his life, the fireman
following. The released engine at
once started on a wild run. 1t
struck the projecting locomotive,
but kept the track. The shock
threw open the throttle and let on a
full head of steam. Away then
went the runaway like flash. A
telegraph operator aw the curious
accident and hurriedIy dispatched
for everything to clear the track
A switchman who saw the runaway
coming at the rate OF about l,OOC
miles minute, as he expressed it,
tried to switch the locomotive OIL
but was not in time. The wild steed
rolled on into the Hartford depot
yard. Engineer Ne~ton and his
fireman were just getting their en-
CINE and tender off the main track.
Huge masses suddenly upreared in
the air amid cloud of steam, smok e
and dust. Then it was seen that
the runaway had struck Newton's
tender, that both had been dersiled
and that Newton's locomotive had
in turn been sent rumbIing away
without a man to direct or cheek it,
But the second runaway was short
lived, for Newton's struck and de-
molished third, bringing things to
a stand still. There we're lively
times all along the track, yet no one
was killed.

LEAVING oFr CHILDHOOD.

When girls midway in their teens
throw off their natural girlish habits
and attire, don long skirts, skoot up
their hair and affect the air and
dress of young women, they would
often be surprised to know what
their elders really think Of the i'm
provements.
One such young miss went to the
depot recently to meet an aged
friend of the family, and was SUR
prised to find herself not recognized
upon greeting the visitor as she
stepped off the car.
"Don't you know me, Auntie z"
"Why, this isn't Maria, is it ?"
"Certainly. Don't you think |
look better than | did last summer
when you were here ~
"No' replied the horost soul,

pie never take you again for girl

SAY WHAT you MEAN.

An exchange says: Let your
friends knew that you love them.
Do not keep the alabaster boxes of
your love and tenderness sealed up
util Your friend is dead. Fill their
lives with sweetness. Speak APP

heads can hear them, and while their
hearts can be thrilled by them.
The things you mean TO say when
they are gone, say before they 70.
The flowers you mean to send for
the oofins, send to- brighten and
sweeien their homes before they
leave them. If my friends have
aIabastor boxes laid away, full of
perfumes of sympathy and affection
which they intend to break over my
dead body, | would rather they
would bring them out in my weary
hours, and open them that | may DO
refreshed aud cheered by them while
| need them. | would rather have
a bare coffin, without an eulogy, than
q life without the sweetness of love
and sympathy. Let us learn to
annoint our friends beforehand for
their burial. Post>mortem kind
uesses do not cheer the burdened
spirit. Flowers on the coffin cast
no fragrance backward over the
weary days Of our lives.

BEAUTY is IN CHARACTER.

/ 1t is remarkable that among all
the women of the Bible-and the
sacred writer's are fond of depicting
female character there is not an
intimation of what were the personal

scribed. What kind Of hair had

borah, or Mary Magdalen, or Hero,

a short stick, and was struck at by
the snake, or what was left Of it, and
it's fangs came in contact with his
hand. since which time the hand
has been badly swollen and throwing

TEACHING.

The business Of teaching may be
likened to the practice of medicine.
A physician may be we'll read, in
timateIy acquainted with every part
Of the human organism, master of
everything that pertains to medical
science, and yet be a poor practlon>
Ger. While it is absolutely neces>
sary that he understand the science
of medicine, the anotomy of the huN
man body, and the nature and ac>
ton of the diseases, yet if he maxi
mistake in the diagnosis, he is
likely TO kill as to cure. If this be
true of him who deals out prescrip-
tions for the body, why is it not true
of him who prescribes for the mindF
What is the prescription 1t is the
giving out of the lesson, so arranged
that each pupil will know how every
point of it, aud in such way that
whst had heretofore been a task
will become delight. This re-
quires knowledge of human nature
and child~mind - integrity and tact.
But what is the teacher worth with
out this powerG Dear teacher,
"study to show yourself q workman
that needeth not to be ashamed"
Study each individual pupil so as to
be able to send every one from the
recitation seat with an intelligent
idea of the subject, feeling a con
seriousness of power which will ena'
Bile him to pursue his study with
constantly increasing interest and
success.

BAD EoR BACHELORS.

DR.. Stark has been compiling
some statistics and life tables, which
we recommend as good reading to
bachelors. The doctor shuts out
from his table the children and be-
gins with the age of twenty years
He shows that the man who passes
his life from that age as a married
man is likely to live twice as long
as if he lived in ceIibacy. He finds
from a great mass of asstisticS that
married men reach the age of sixty
and ssven-tenths years, and the I'M
married only forty and two tenths.
His figures are not so favorable for
women: but notwithstanding all
the dangers with which they meet
life is prolonged by marriage. If
the doctors figures are correct, mar
riage is about the best insurance
comp any yet organized, from the
fact that it gives every day divlr
dends Of happiness, and adds over
nineteen years to every investors
life. We recommend the facts to
easy going bachelors. Inter Oce@''.
