A Modern Lear.

[Akron (O.) Dispatch to Philadelphia Press.I
An old gentleman named Henry Har-
beck, who is incapicitated from work,
having been broken down by his severe
labors in past years, and who has FAM
lily of well-to-do sons and daughters,
made so by his own hard labor and
frugality, was thrust out of home few
nights ago because he could no longer
bring anything into the household to add
to til e luxury of his children. Several
years ago Mr.. Harbeck divided his pro-
perty among his children. After they
had thrust him from his house he was
given shelter by colored family living
in the vicinity of his home and who were
once his servants. The colored people,
however, soon grew tired of supporting
and taking charge of the old man and
last night they requested him to leave
their humble home. Mr.. Harbeck tot
tered from the place and wandered hope
lessly about the streets. At about IL
o'clock he was found by two gentlemen
who led him to the city prison, where he
was placed in the care Of the police lieu
tenant. The humane society will investi-
gate the case. MP E5t. et..r ..5 .E-t

Pulled His Tail.

From the Portland (Ore) Mercury.]
The immense forests in the neighbor-
hood of Yaquina Bay are filed with cou-
gars, bears, and other ferocious wild
animals, that, when driven by hunger,
sometimes seek the settlements for food.
A few days ago a farmer named Sour
ry, residing a short distance from Elk
City, was attacked by large cougar
while at work on his farm near the house.
The beast made desperate fight, knock
ing the man down before he could de-
fend himself, or use pistol in his pos
session. Scurry was growing faint in
the deathly struggle that ensued, when
his wife, who saw the attack from the
door of her cabin, ran to his assistance,
and, without stopping to consider her
danger, seized the brute's tail and by
main force dragged the animal from his
anticipated dinner. Scurry leaped> to
his feet, and before the cougar could re-
new the assault struck HIM with the
sharp end of the mattock he had been
using, killing him instantly. Mrs. Sour
RI kept up well, but, when there was no
further need of exertion on her part, she
tottered and F'fel all in heap" as her
husband said. He escaped with painful
scratches and al ugly bite Ia the should
er. They have dressed their assailant' s
skin, which now makes handsome rug
for the pioneers best room.

CONVICT LABOR IN GREAT BRITAIN

The report of the committee appoint
ed by the English home secretary In the
matter Of the employment of convict
labor sets forth that there are in Great
Britain about 10000 able-bodied con-
victs, of whom only about 1000 are i'm
mediately available for public works;
but largely-increased number will
shortly become available. The COM
mittee suggests that convict labor might
be utilized IN the construction of har-
bors of refuge at Dover, Filey and
Peterhead The commission of 1859
go recommended Peterhead Bay as a
suitable place for a harbor of refuge,
further suggesting that $500, 900 should
be spent upon the work, 9100, 1000 of
that amount to be subscribed IN the To-
cality; but this latter condition was at
that time found to be impracticable.
Unless a second harbor should be pro
vided on the east coast of Scotland, the
proposal to select Peterhead will be met
by representations of the claims Of
Stonehayen Bay. The present convict
committee states that the labor of near
ly 700 convicts would be at once avail
able for the construction of harbor of
refuge on the Scotch coast.

would survive the manufacturing pro-
cesses paper pulp is put to. Such pyro-
hugneous Installations as come from the
paper could hardly be more hurtful than
those arising from the tobacco itself.
Where the danger of cigarettes arises is
from their cheapness, which permits too
many of them to be smoked, and because
they are getting into use by urchins OF
all ranks who are not more than 10years
old. Smoking when INDUCED in by boys
is as pernicious habit as if they COM
menced to tipple. Itstunts their growth,
destroys digestion, ooscures vision, and,
rendering them nervous, induces them
to seek such stimulant as can be found
in alcoholic fluids.

PROGRESS IN RAILROAD BUILDING

Last year was q most remarkable one
IN extent of railroad construction. Ac-
cording to Poor's Manual the number OF
miles built exceeded nine thousand and
three hundred, which is the greatest
mileage yet reached In any year III the
history of railroad building in this coun-
try. The maximum attained in any pre-
vious year was III 1871, when seven thou
sand and three hundred miles were con-
structed, or two thousand less than were
built in 1881. During the year 1881 the
number of miles of railroads in opera
ton III the country was increased by
something over eleven thousand, bring
ing the total at the end Of that year up
to about a hundred and five thousand.
The marvellous extension of railways in
the United States in recent years is
shown by the fact THAT the aggregate
mileage has been doubled since 1870.
The rapid progress of last year is still
kept up. During the first six months Of
this year about thirty-seven hundred
miles have been opened, and the total
new mileage of 1882 promises to fau lit
tie short of if it does not equal that of
1881. At this rate of increase we shall
have IN 1890 more than two hundred
thousand miles of railway in operation.
This is an unmistakable indication OF the
growth of the country, and particularly
of the great west, whose rapid settlement
and extensive agricultural development
keep pace with the extension of railroad
facilities

Baggage Smashers Fooled.
[From the Boston Advertiser.

Il
The appearance of the little Monitor
in Hampton Roads reyolutionized naval
architecture, and ever since that day the
gun-makers and the iron-p1ate-makers
have We'd with each other In their often
sive and defensive manufactures. The
sole leather trunk is becoming, it is said,
as much thing of the past as the wood
en- war ship. The modern, safe.ike,
iron trunks cave them in, smash them,
gouge hotes in them and squash their
contents. The trunk makers make for
drummers trunk with a solid frame,
bound with boop-iron bands, IN fact a
solid iron clad, which breaks baggage
smasher's heart. But the iron-clad
trunk, though the smasher cannot shat
ter it, makes a very efficacious missile
when hurled upon hat-boxes, light port
manteaus and flimsy trunks. The mills
of the gods have been grinding out retrl-
button for the baggage-smasher, and IN
q few years he viii have nothing but
iron-clad trunks to toss about. When
the iron-plate-makers make aplate which
existing guns cannot penetrate the gum
makers are quick to cast gun which
can do it; but luckily the race OF bag
gage-smashers cannot be strengthened
to keep pace with the smasher-proof
trunks which are now being built.
