Where to Sit.

AS we take our lives in our hand ev-
cry day we step on board a railway car,
it is well to know which is the place of
greatest security in the train. The car
nearest the engine is exposed to the
least dust, and the rear car of train is
generally safer than the front car. The
safest is probably the last car but one in
train of more than two cars; that is,
there are fewer chances of accidents to
this than any other. If it is way train
at moderate speed, or any train stand
ing still, a collision is possible from an
other train in the rear, in which the last
car receives the first shock Again, the
engine and the front cars of train will
often run over a broken rail, or a COW,
or stone, without detriment, while the
last car, having nothing to draw it into
the line of the train, is free to leave the
track. Next to the forward car, the
rear car is probably the most unsafe in
the train. The safest seat is probably
near the centre of the last car but one.
Unfortunately, however, everybody cam
not have that seat. and the majority
must still run risks.

Sailing on Skates.

A new means of locomotion on the ice
has recently been introduced upon
Fourth lake, near Madison, Wis, which
will probably be pretty generally adopt
ed, that is, the use of a small, some
what kite-shaped sail, which each skater
holds for the breeze to catch and send
flying over the ice with speed scarcely
surpassed by the lightning ice-boat.
These sails can be made almost any
size, but they usually range from six to
ten feet in length, and perhaps three
feet in breadth at their widest part.
They can be operated like the sails on
an ice-boat, only with greater ease, for
they are held by the hand at the side,
and a person, urged over the, ice by
means of one meets with comparatively
small resistance from the air, and there
fore can attain great velocity. A move
ment is on foot now among the Fourth
lake skaters to have number of the af-
fairs built and soon whole feet of such
sails MAY be looked for.-Ndatson Jour

The Black Bears Cunning

In the Century for March, Charles G.
Ward has an entertaining illustrated
article on THE Black Bear," in which
he describes Bruins haunt's in Maine
and New Brunswick, relates several
hunting incidents, and depicts Bruin' S
peculiarities, in part as follows:
l really think that Bruin possesses the
sense of humor, at all events his actions
point that way, and there is no doubt
that he is extremely cunning and OBJ
serving I once had an English friend
visiting me, who played the flute. He
was in the habit of marching up and
down, while playing. near tame bear
I had at the time. The bear had piece
of stick about two feet long, which he
tossed about for amusement. After a
time, he came to handle the stick very
much as my friend did his flute. This
annoyed my sensitive friend, and in re-
venge he teased the bear with uncouth
noises. Bruin shifted and whined, and
waited his opportunity for delivering a
tremendous blow with his paw at his
enemy. whose tall hat was knocked
completely over his eyes. He escaped
being scalped by dropping fiat and roll
ing out of the reach of the bear. The
bear spent much of his time in the tree
to which he was chained, and when
climbing usually got his chain twisted
over and under the branches in a mosi
intricate manner, but never failed to
take out every turn as he descended. A
friend who owned a tame bear told me
that, for long time, he could not &C.
count for the mysterious way in which
the poultry disappeared. Observing. al
different times, good many feathers
around Bruins pole, he began to suspect
that the bear was the culprit. Close
watching confirmed his suspicious

Eliza DupeY.

j
A Cincinnati correspondent writes:
Here in dingy parlor Eliza Dupey, the
novelist, lived for wears and scratched
off yards of Ledger stories, declaring
that sswhen they were once mailed they
impressed her so little she could not re-
member the title till she got home from
the Office She wrote while here IA
nous prize Christmas story for which
Bonner paid her $4,000.
Miss Dupey died in New Orleans
about year ago, and though upwards
of 20, still retained all her faculties in
tact. In her portraits she has q broad
forehead, back from which her iron gray
hair is caught by two she'll combs. from
which depend two long curls resting ON
her bosom. Her eyes humorous, her
chin double, treble, yes-quadruple, but
a good substantial chin, lots of charac-
ter, and her cheeks as rosy as two glow
ing Baldwin apples. The picture of
health, being, in fact, no sylph, but
weighing trifie over 200.
An old acquaintance in speaking of
her remarked: Miss Eliza, though fond
of dress, rather ignored the petty
changes of fashion, and seemed to for
get that while she was flinging the shut
tie of romance, twenty years at a

For little dinner given at her house
shortly before she left here, she drew
from out of the depths of the past an
immense pattern of brocade-which
even in the present style of grotesque
things would seem quite startling-and
arrayed herself. 1t was very low neck
and very little sleeve. gorgeous in color
ing, and was decorated with a huge bow
on each side, and corresponding one
reposing ON her stomach in front. The
tout ensemble was quite stupendous, and
the effect not lost on the darkey maid,
who went in, took look, and came out,
her eyes as big as saucers, and exclaim-
ed: by the living God-Miss Kate,

OF ASHES.

Our stern and stalwart contemporary,
the Index of Carson, is not satisfied
with the victories won by its party in
Nevada. 1t is remarkably candid in its
admissions thus locally. In order, how
ever, to be consistent and altogether
frank, that admission should be coupled
with another confession, which is var
ranted by still palmer facts, that is, that,
for the most part, the political victories
OF the Republican party for the last de-
cade, at least, have been as apples OF
ashes to the people of the United States.
But the IndeSis not without credit for
the degree of candor, not unqualified,
which it expresses in the following plain,
strong words
1t is miserably monotonous to the peo-
pie of this State that they are to be called
on by both parties to elect men and win
victories hat are next to va!euless for any
purpose whatever. Let US have something
tangible and satisfactory, one way or an
other.
The phrase "both parties is thrown
in evidently as a salvo to its pride, for its
discussion, from which the above extract
is made, is wholly concerning Republican
nominees for the G~overnorship, possible
and desirable, The Index utters a deep
groan for fear that the powerful machine
which runs its party will not allow the
car Iidacy for that high office of the man,
Judge Whitman, whom it thinks best
fitted to fll it. The groan of the Index,
which excites our p~rofoundest sympathy,
rumbles up brokenly in these pathetic
words:
Why is it that the corporations must
pursue a policy so narrow and beggarly
that such men as Judge Whitman must be
kept in the background

The Supreme Court of Massachusetts,
has just decided that to appropriate a
play or opera by committing to memory
or taking it down short-handed through
the medium of its public representation
is an illegal infringement of the authors
rights. This seems nothing more than
common sense, yet the contrary view has
been frequently acted upon, and might
be supported by judicial precedents. The
argument has been that the representa-.
ton of a piece upon the stage constitutes
such an abandonment Of it to the public
as makes it common property, and that
the spectator by paying for admission ac-
quires the right to appropriate as much
Of what he hears as he can by any
means manage to carry away. The Mas
sachusetts decision is so obviously equit.
able that it ought to be generally adopted.

When the mind allows itself to be so
influenced by thoughts and longings for
home that they become such a fixed idea
that it can no longer be concentrated on
otherthings, then, according to the Musical
Herald, the mind is in a sick state-in a
kind Of monomania that is called nostal.
gia, or inconsistencies, and which may
even result in death. Such is the case
in numerous instances. Little things
sometimes awaken profound sentiments of
this sort, a torn flower. a simple medal
lion, some jewel, a family gem. No
other language, like music, awakens in
so powerful a manner the remembrance
of that which has been loved, the sem
timents which have been experienced,
the songs that have strongly impressed
one, and especially those of childhood.

THE CHILDREN OF DE LONG.

Is anything to be done by the pub
lie for the wife and children of the
dead explorer De Long, or for the fam
lilies of the other brave men who per-
ished with him? The pension paid to
the widow of a navy officer of his
rank is a mere p%ittance, and some of the
other widows and orphans will be left
without any pension at all. To this
query, propounded by the New York
Tribune, the Sun very pe%rtinently
makes the following reply: cit strikes
US that the question should be whether
anything is to be done by Mr., James
Gordon Bennett rather than by the
public. II the Jeanette expedition
had been successful, Mr.. Bennett
would have gained great credit. We
believe, when he reflects on the mat
ter, he will see the propriety of per-
sonally assuming the burdens resulting
from its failure"
