IMPROVING ENGLISH RAILROADS.

Ever since the lie Roy murder there has
been constant cutlery fer an improvement
in English railway travelling, and it is
rather singular fact that at the time that out
rage was committed the London, Brighton
and South Coast Railway Company had in
hand some new cars, ON the American model.
the use Of which would eiiectually prevent
such outrages in the future. Within tho
last few weeks special train, consisting of
four Pullman cars, has been in regular SER
vice between london and Brighton. The
cars are q decided improvement upon any
thing yet run in England or, for that matter,
in America either. The cars are more
roomy aud better upholstered than any I
have ever seen i'll America, Canada or on the
Continent, while the permanent way of the
Brighton Line probably exceeds that Of any
other railway in England, and trip 70
Brighton in the new Pullman train comes as
near the perfection of railway travelling as
we are likely TO achieve for the present

SHEPHERD DOGS.
The Clever Way in Which Piocss of sheep
are Managed.


In the course of walks with Cumberland

better dog breakers than John Scott, shep-
herd at Iamplugh Hall, the Carlisle first
prize pastoral farm occupied by Mr.. VIII
liam Leathes Herdwicks are kept on this
farm to the number of more 500 ewes.
Our task was to collect the sheep and cause
them to move before us to the very tops
of the fells, for the sake of feeding all the
land and changing the pastuage of the
flock. The she9aerd worked his dogs two
to the right hand, one to the left, working
them frequently by signs only, and some-
times by few words spoken to a distant
auditory, when the dogs were perhaps nearly
half mile distant, but still in full view,
bringing up the sheep from some neighbor-
ing fell-side. II is the habit of the Herd
wicks to spread themselves far and wide

of his clever helps, making signal toward the
sheep at the same time; and off went the
dog at full speed. The Herdwicks dislike be-
ing driven hard If they are pushed they
will bolt in oil directions. The dogs know
this aud they keep their distance, never run
ming straight at the sheep but keeping out
side of them and some distance in the rear.
The shepherd makes another signal His
dog is in n hollow, from which he cannot
survey the felside far ahead. He watches
his master, therefore, and expects to be in
formed whether he is required to beat the
ground further or not. The signal comes and
off he bounds, but not quite in the right di-
rection; he is running too much in
straight line. "Get out, now :" comes shrill
to his attentive ears, and further out he gets;
Or, if he is not quite sure as to the import
of the message. he stops and looks around
for the signal The youngest dog, only a
twelvemonth old, was the best of the field

to 'get out " and scour conical hill that
lay little out of our course, so as to fetch
any sheep that may be feeding there out of

ming to the right against the sun, so as to
bring the sheep around to the left, and

signs of his approach. Some cows took
fight at the edge of the hill :" He is not
far off now" said the shepherd, and in
moment after the sheep appeared and then

MEMORY IN A PARROT.

A young parrot was given TO q Spanish
lady, who, after teaching him to speak
Spanish, sold him to captain in the Eng
lish Navy. The hitter brought the bird
home. For some time the parrot seemed to
be melancholy beneath the gray skies of
England where men and birds spoke a
tongue unknown to him. BY degrees, how
ever, he learned some English sentences,
forgot apparently all the Spanish he ever
knew, and regained health and spirits.
Years passed away, and tho parrot still lived
as the pet Of the whole family he grew to
be very old, could only eat pap, and could
scarcely climb his pole, but nobody had the
heart to destroy him, and SO he grew weak
er and weaker. One day Spanish gentle
man called, was shown tho room where the
parrot lived. A lively discussion arose in
Spanish between the visitor and his host
II was the first time since his arrival in Eng
land that the bird had heard his native Ian
guage, and 1t must have reminded him of
his sojourn ON the Peninsula. With wild
delight, the parrot spread out his wings, re-
peated hurriedly some of the Spanish phras-
es learned In his youth, and fell down dead.

How the Kentucky General Captured an

REFORM IN WILLS.

Surrogate Calvin, whose official term as
Surrogate of New York has just terminated,
has shown determination TO discourage lit
igation in the probate court. 1t will be well
if his successor maintains this policy At
one time, indeed, 1t seemed as though it
were impossible to make will which could
withstand New York lawyer, and hence
the grossest wrongs were inflicted on heirs
and also on the public Among the atest
decisions of our Surrogate is the admission
to proof of the Wallace will. Thomas r.
Wallace was dissolute bachelor who had
made great fortune in brewing. He was
o man of great ability, but became a perfect
wreck early in life, He bequeathed his o.,
tate TO his legal heirs, emitting ono of his
brothers (who had previously received
100000 from HIM, and this brother tried
in vain TO have the will set aside. Another
case was that of Samuel Wood, likewise q
bachelor, who made an immense fortune In
the liquor trade. He devised @1, 900, 900 to-
ward the foundation of a conservatory Of
music, and his heirs have for five years en-
deavored to break the will, Tho Surrogate,
however, has at last disappointed them, and
New York will be enriched by this promised
institution.
