Narrow Escape of AM OK Team.

The morning passenger train, from Bruins
wick for Lewiston, Tuesday. had thrilling
adventure at crossing. The engineer spied
an old man from Lisbon, driving an OK team
loaded with wood and hay, bound for the
crossing. There was no need of attempting
to cross the track before the passage of the
train, but the old fellow piled the goad and
persisted in racing against the locomotive.
Seeing what must take place if the train was
not stopped, the engineer put on the air brake
and the car brakeman rushed to his post.
"Her Buck" shouted the old man, dashing
on to the crossing right In the face OF the en-
CINE The locomotive screamed "down
brakes" and the train came to a standstill on
the crossing not six feet from the old mans

4 f'trolg Bull.

The following occurs m recent ln- terview with Rufus Hatch:
 Reporter-I suppose 1 can write you down as an unqualified 'bulP' on the country, at least.
 MT. Hatch-Why, can not be any thing but bull when 1 look at this country, it's growth, and possibilities. In the first place, it comprises within its limits every shade of climate suitable for every creature of the earth; it is capable of producing everything or any thing that a man need to eat, or wear, or use. And then the growth of the country is marvellous. When l went to Chicago in 1850 it had population of 29,963; in 1860 the population had in creased to 112, ,172; in 1870 it numbered 266. .977. and in 1881 the statistics show population of 575, ,000.
 The growth of Chicago is but 8 sam pie of all the other towns, cities, coun- ties, and states west of the Alleghany mountains-and it has all happened within my business knowledge. When I went to Chicago in 1850 there were only forty-two miles of railroad west of the lakes. It was called the Galena railroad, and was an old-fashioned strap rail running from Chicago to Elgin. It may be interesting for you to know that was one of corps of engineers that did the first day's work that was ever done on q railroad in Wisconsin. l held on to the hind end of the chain and stopped it at the hundred-foot stake. That is the way I commenced engineer ing. And at that time I travelled over hundreds of miles of country without a house on it, where it is now thickly set tied with farms, villages, and cities. No man can visit the east, west, south west, and northwest without returning a ''bull." I travelled about five thous and miles in the west in May, and saw enough to convince me that an advance in the stock market would take place The decline has taken place, and 2 large majority of stocks are liable te improve; indeed the boom has already | commenced.

He Oonuuered,

Congregations are often brought to the brink of an explosion of mirth with out knowing it. Such was the case in a Hartford church, recently. The godly and eloquent pastor was in the midst of his powerful discourse. The large con- gregation hung upon his lips as he moved up to the climax of his argu- ment. lie, himself, was deeply absorb ed ill his work. as his ringing voice and forcible action showed.
 Just then he somehow became aware of q distraction near at hand, and, glancing obiiquely, espied 8 colossal wasp perched upon his left shoulder. A second glance was conclusive. The wasp was bridling and humping him self in a manner that meant mischief. He was in no haste, but, as if knowing his advantage, he leisurely performed those agile and ominous gymnastics which are the preparations and signals of assault He would torment the help less minister before stabbing him. All this the parson comprehended with con cealed terror, meanwhile pushing along the vigor Of his speech, and keeping up the boom of his discourse.
 Mysterious is the complex movement of the human mind Futile was the in- timidation, fugacious the hope, vain the plan, fatal the delay Of that wasp. Pro- crastination and pride were his destruc- ton. An inspiration seized the parson, now working double lines of thought His plan was formed and executed with such a rapidity and success that the congregation were ignorant of the splendid strategy. Raising his voice to an unwonted strain, he swung his right arm around to that left shoulder, pluck ed the astonished wasp therefrom, placed him upon the desk, and, shout 1 ing in stentorian tones, "Yes, my be- 1 loved hearersT' brought his clenched fist down upon that precise spot where on his enemy lay with an energy that made the big Bible leap, raised a cloud Of dust from the cushion, and carried complete conviction both to the body of the wasp and the minds and hearts ot the spell-bound congregation. It was the climax of his discourse. So instan- taneously was the maneuvre executed that no one detected the real occasion of it, and the edified hearers remarked to one another, as they left the church, the uncommon earnestness and vigor oi their beloved pastors delivery that day

The Milwaukee City Directory con- tains vapiety of strange names. A canvasser relates that while collecting names for the directory he met 8 wo- man who spoke bad mixture of Polish and German, said that her name was Sullivan. From appearances and sur roundings the canvasser thought there surely must be some mistake and asked her to spell her name. She replied that she could not but had an envelope on which it was written and on getting it the canvasser read: "Czalawzcvancz. Now he thinks there are more ways than one of spelling Sullivan. A West Side cooper named Ernst Schemmelpfenning has the distinction of owning the long est'name in the book, the surname con- taining sixteen letters, almost an alpha bet. Frank Czyz probably has the most peculiar name. Olaf Piczszkinzwowskz is not an ordinary title. It is said that there is a Polack in the First Ward whose name contains eighteen conso- nants and makes full line of print with several letters hanging over at each side, but his name does not appear in the book.
