JEFFERSON.

Emil Hammel, a brakeman on the 7
o'clock freight train, fell between the cars
Yesterday morning and was instantly
killed. The following facts in regard to
the way the accident happened were
disclosed at the coroner's inquest; One
brakeman had uncoupled a car for the
purpose of flying in the backyard switch.
He signaled the engineer to start. Ham
mel attempted to jump on the detached
car Just as it shot ahead, missed his foot
ing and fell between, the hind car passing
over his head and legs, crushing his skull
and nearly severing the legs from his
body. The coroner's jury exonorated
the railroad hands and rendered a verdict
of death caused by the brakeman's own
carelessness. The unfortunate fellows
home was in Oakfeld, Wis.
The appearance of stranger in our
city last year simultaneously with the
death of several dogs by poison, lead
many of our citizens to make suspicious
note of it. This same stranger was in
our city last Saturday and during the
night, w. L. McKinney's dog died by
poison. We can assure the person who
promiscuously scatters poison on the
streets of this city, that discovery means
something more than arrest and small
fine.

cessful raising Of blackberries for mar
ket, had never been accomplished in

grow abundantly, but it seemed impossi-
BILE to secure a cultivated variety which
would survive the winters. About nine
years ago, Mr..Stone commenced to ex-

we visited his farm, one mile south of

wandered in perfect amazement at the
splendid sight there presented. Every
bush was loaded down with fruit in all
stages of ripening. Over six thousand
quarts have been picked, and it is easy
to see that there is at least, three thous-

twelve cents quart, thus producing q
thousand dollars worth Of fruit. Mr.
Stone cultivates the young roots which

HOME PoLlTENEss.- boy who is po-
lite to his father and mother is likely to
be polite to everyone else. A boy lack
ing politeness to his parents may have
the semblance of courtesy in society but
is never truly polite in spirit, and is in
danger, as he becomes familiar, of betray-
ing his real want of courtesy. We are
all in danger of living too much for the

we make in society, forgetting the good
opinions OF those who are in sense a
part of ourselves, and who continue to
sustain and be interested in us, notwith-

the parlor-and you will be sure in other

Frederick Douglass.

We would invite attention to the adj
Chicago, Ills, who have recently issued
the Autobiography of Frederick Doug
lass. Our readers are all more or less &C.
quainted with the history of this man and
should make themselves familiar with his
book. The Cleveland Leader (Ohio) says:
This book will gain instant recognition
as one of the healthiest and most impor-
tant works ever contributed to American
literature. 1t will take its place as a vol
ume indispensable in the complete rec
ordse of our national history. The life
struggle it portrays will be erected as a
standard of emulation to the youth and
manhood of America, who, without such
examples, might we'll doubt the possibili-
ty of climbing so high from condition
SO low. And scarcely less important to
the work and the lesson it has to teach, it
possesses advantages quite unparalleled
for holding interest, and stamping upon
all classes of minds it's inherent principles
Of freedom and manhood. The narrative
of Douglass's days Of slavery and escape
from bondage is hardly less interesting
than "Uncle Toms Cabin" while the
truths lose nothing in comparison with
the ideality of that work, and it carries
its subject through wider range of &C
complishment to a rank sufficiently exalt-
ed to win all admiration. 1t is needless
to speak of the literary style of the book:
the accomplishments of the writer are
known to all who read. Americans will
be proud of this donation to their litera-
ture, and thankful to Mr.. Douglass that
he has made it himself.

The New Light of Asia.

'"The Iliad of India" some call it, and
others liken it to Millions Paradise Lost. "
Whatever terms may be used to describe
it, Edwin Arnold's remarkable poem,
THE Light of Asia, has certainly won a
place among the classics in literature, and
the best edition of it will be wanted in
every home library. Related to the relig
ion of India it is not unlike Millions inn
mortal poem as related to the Christian
religion. The new edition just issued by
the Useful knowledge Publishing Com
pany, New York, is perhaps the most
beautiful, geographically, which has ever
appeared, and is of course far lower in
price than any other edition published,
which will compare with it, being only 20
cts. for the Utility binding, 80 cts. for the
cloth, and 40 cts. for the half Russia, OF
for the extra cloth gilt edges. This edi-
ton is especially valuable, because of the
sketches of the lives of Edwin Arnold,
the author, and of Buddha, the subject,
and the numerous illustrative notes ex-
planning the many references to persons,
places, customs, ETC., which are necessa-
rily enigmatical to any one not deeply
versed in the history, religion, and litera-
ture of India. These valuable additions
are from the pen of Mrs. I. L: Hauser, a
most competent writer, for many
years resident of India, and is known as
the author of '"The Orient and Its Peo-
ple." Enterprising booksellers will sup.
ply this edition. and canvassers and club
agents are wanted everywhere, to whom
very unusual terms and facilities are offer.

AN exchange contains the following
interesting article upon the bright celes-
tial visitant that is at present fast nearing
the earth:
'"The eyes of the entire scientific world
are now directed to the coming comet,
which promises to be the terrestrial SEN
sation of the year Prof. Boss, of Dud-
ley observatory, near Albany, has seen
no reason to change his former estimate
giving its perihelion at 10, 600, 600 miles,
but Prof Chandler, of Harvard observa-
tory, thinks that it will come within a
hundred thousand miles of the sun, pass
ing through the corona and perhaps graz
ing the potospherc. The comet is note
worthy for its great brilliancy under pres
ent conditions. 1t is now nearly two
hundred million miles distant, and yet it
well developed tail 1t is reasonable,
therefore, to infer it as a large comet
since it presents so large an aspect at a
distance so immense As it is coming
toward the sun at the rate of 1000, 900
miles day, it cannot long remain invisi-
bic to the naked eye. 1t will reach its
great brightness about June 1st, and
there is every reason to expect that a
comet of grand and awe inspiring pro-
portions will in the coming months span
the heavens with its gossamer train; that
there will be intense excitement in watch
ing its near approach to the sun; that it
will be observed and studied as comet
never was observed and studied before;
and that. unless men of science are great
ly mistaken, it will take rank with the
distinguished comets of 1911, 1S43, 1861
and 1880 on the cometic annals Of the
nineteenth century"
