Tardy Trains-Freight Wreck

Since the late rainfall the trains on the
different roads have been rather irregular,
and within the past few days there has
been several freight trains wrecked. The
east bound passenger train on the Texas &
Pacific, dse here yesterday morning at GAO,
was eight hours late. The morning south
bound train on the Texas Cen
trail was one hour late and the
north-bound passenger on that road was
ten hours late, which was owing to bad
freight wreck near Palmer. The cars
caught afire, and several of them, together
with many bales of cotton, were destroyed
SO far as could be learned no one was in
iured.

just Filling His Pipe.

The brighter hours of good Bisho p
Corbet have been very graphically de-
scribed by ono who knew him w{l. His
Lordship's favorito companion tas his
chaplain, DIR. Llshington. When the
business of the day was over, the Bishop
delighted to descend with this kithful
henchman into tho cellar of the episco.
pal palace. Corbet would the1 doff his
hood, saying, "rhere lies the Dootor:'
The glasses were filled and the Toast was
drunk. "Here's to thee, Lushlngtou "
"Here's to thee, Corbet."
The celebrated Dean Aldrick was the
slave of his pipe. There is d story in
tho biography OF John Philips, tho poet.
which not only amusingly illustrates
this weakness OH the part of the Dean,
but gives curious glimpse of tho free
and easy way in which the dons and un.
dergraduates of those days used to live.
A senior student laid wager with one
of his college chums that the Dean was
Mt that moment smoking his pipe, that
instant being about 10 o'clock in the
morning. Away, therefore, he went to
the deanery. where having made his way
into the Deans study, he explained the
reason of his appearance at so early ar
hour. "Ab," replied tho Dean, with
tho utmost GOODNESS, "you have lost you,
wager, for am not smoking but filling
my pipe"
