A Lily with l45 Blossoms.

On the steamer Orlnoco, which ar
rived at New York, recently, from
Jamaica, was q most remarkable speci-
men of the Easter Lily of Bermuda,
known botanicalIy as of the class longi-
forum horibunds. A plant of the same
family with over. 80 blossoms on its
stalk took the irst prize at the horticul-
tu1al exhibition in New York city recent
~. The plant on the Orinoco bears 145
blossoms, nearly all of which are in full
bloom. The stalk, about one inch in
diameter, is thickly lnfoliated with long
leaves for its entire length, about three
feet. Nestled III cluster of these dark
green wrappings at the summit of the
stalk are closely grouped the stems OF
its numerous funnel-sbaped blossoms,
which fall over it i'll cloud of white
and yellow pc, ianths, forming hemis-
pherical mass of flowers of about one
foot radius. No specimen, il il said, has
ever been seen In this latitude with over
100 blossoms.

How an Enoineer Saved Train.
[From the London Telegraph

the LONDON Ielegrapn.l
A curious story comes from France
onel John Hay and Mr.. Bret Harte. M.
Grisel, the newest candidate for the dec
Grafton of the Legion of Honor, is a
workingman. All his life, it may be
said of him, "he'd seen his duty, dead
sure thing, and went for it there and
and then;" but his special opportunity
came one dark dismal night in the winter
of 1857. At that time the man in whose
honor great banquet was to be given
at the Elysee Montmartre, under the
presidency of Victor Hugo, was employed
as an engine-driver on one of the impor-
tant lines of France. M. Grisel was
driving train from Claremont to
Brisudi. A terrible storm was rag
ing, the floods were out, and all
around the train was as dark as pitch.
When the train stopped at a place
called Vicle Comte the sharp ears of
sound of a rushing torrent of the River
Allier, and he remembered very dan
gerous bridge which the train was bound
to cross. 1t may have been instinct or a
very proper sense of precaution, but the
engine-driver got it into his head that it
would be running a tremendous risk to
pass over the train until the fabric had
been examined and pronounced safe. He
communicated his views to the station
master, and was laughed at for his pains.
In fact this official, his superior officer,
in the interests of the company and with
view no doubt to expedition, ordered
Grisel to proceed at once. The engine
driver refused point blank, and by doing
so at once qualified himself for instant
dismissal. In such case, ninety-nine
men out of every hundred would have
taken the risk and said no more about it.;
but Grisel was conscientious, and re-
NAMED firm to his point, whereupon
there followed strange dilemma.
The statiOn-master lost his temper, and
was proportionalIy as irritable as the
workingman was calm; but so obstinate
was the engine-driver that it became
necessary to telegraph to the Learest i'm
portant station for instructions. Long
before the return message had been re-
ceived the anticipated disaster was fact;
and the pitiless food had carried away
the bridge into the torrent below. Then
followed a scene of great rejoicing. The
passengers, awakened from their shum-
bers by the crash, got out of their car
riages; and when they learned to whose
Judgment, experience, and tact they owed
their lives they surrounded the young
engineer in order to congratulate him on
having by his act of resolution risked
dismissal from his employment, and been
the means of saving at least one hundred
and twenty-five lives from a catastrophe
as horrible IS the Tay Bridge accident of
later years.

FAMILY VERSUS COMPANY.

The new minister had come, and Of
course every one was anxious to become
acquainted with him as soon as possible.
In Woodleigh, the recognized way of do
lug that was to have him come to tea and
spend the evening. Accordingly, for
NEARLY a month, the Rev. John Dents
of good Mrs. Dodds, III whose family he
had been received as a member until his
plans for the future had been decided
upon. In that time he had been handed
around from one member of the congre-
cation to another, IN much the same way
that a new book or the latest style in
millinery would have been. He had
talked literature, art and fashion with
the mothers and daughters, and politics
and church finances with the fathers and
sons. He had sat down to daily suppers
of fried chicken and waffles until his
heart began to rebel, and to insist on a
rest or a change of diet. Then he be-
gan to look around to see how much
longer it would last. Tuesday, Deacon
Smith had spoken for him. Wednesday
he had promised to the Martins, while
Thursday had been set apart by the
Lawsons as the only day on which the
new pastor should break bread with
them.
This would take him nearly around.
True, there were a number of families
whom he had never visited beyond mere
calls, but they belonged to the poorer
part of his charge, and were of that class
who scorned to make feast unless they
could make it in every way as good
l.
Dent hoped most devoutly that they
might not see their way clear until he
had, by judicious course of crackers
and tea, restored his stomach to some
thing like its natural tone.
Deacon Smiths supper and the night
mare that followed it were both safely
past, and he was on his way to fulfill his
engagement with the Martins, walking
briskly alon with the Ightstep and cheer
full countenance of man who has made
up his mind to do his duty, no matter
what it cost him. Suddenly the brisk
walk ceased and Mr.. Dent stood staring
down at the apparition which had IN
expectedly risen from thickness OF
weeds by the roadside. It was not one
from which DIR. Dent or anybody else
was likely to recoil, for it was small
ard freckled-faced, and moreover, was
so badly frightened itself, that it barely
had breath enough to make the following
announcement:
"Please sir, Aunt Polly has been took
awful sick and mothers had to go off in
a tearin' hurry, an come to our house
another time"
Of course DIR. Dent didn't care, and
another time would do just as well if not
a little better and having quoted small
Tommy Martins fears by a winning
smile and hearty hand-shake, he turned
around and started off in the direction OF
the Lawsons, without even asking him
self whether or not this sudden change
of arrangement would make any differ
ence to them.
It was fore-ordained, suppose. Al
least that was the only way Mr.. Dent
could ever account for his doing such an
Watertown republican. [volume] (Watertown, Wis.) 1860-1906, 1882-05-31
Queer Buttons and Nails,

From the Providence Journal.]
1t occurred to some fertile mind two
or three years ago that the refuse of sole
leather might be utilized tor buttons and
nails, and the manufacture of such nails
and buttons from such material was en-
tered upon in this city. After a side of
leather has been cut into soles number
of pieces ere left-strips an inch or more
in width. Only certain part of these,
Or those coming from certain parts Of the
side, are used. The sole leather clip
pings are obtained from cutters of sole
leather in boot and shoe districts. ANY
one who has travelled through Essex
County, Mass, through Lynn, Salem,
Peabody and other towns. could not
escape the odor of burnt leather,
mingled with that of tan bark or
tanners pickle. The sole leather clip
pings, as others, were used to furnish
fires until the button Of solid leather
was invented. The leather nail or but
ton is made in this city to the number of
thirty or fifty thousand per day, accord
ing to design and finish. Every. button
is subjected to eight different processes.
By machinery made for the purpose, the
nail or brad is firmly attached to the
button. Another machine turns this
Grad into an eye when buttons are de-
sired instead of nails. 1he nails and
buttons are made in various styles and
colors, to harmonic with any covering.
The fact that the nail can be driven with
out breaking the brad and without in
jury to it's head is in it's favor. Pullman
cars, fine furniture in hotels and else
where are decorated with The leather
button or nail to the exclusion of the
brass nail, which has declined fifty per
cent. In price in consequence of the
leather button competition.
