Why Jurors Are Against Railroads.

A railway president is quoted as hay ing recently urged secrecy regarding accidents because reports get into news papers and influence possibly members of coroners' juries, the majority of jurors being against railway companies anyhow. If the official quoted is satis. fed that the general adult male popula- tion feels as he says it does he should search for the cause of such feeling. He would not have to look far, and he might learn how to save his own road some unnecessary expense through &C., cident. If jurors generally suspect something wrong in case of accident it is because most men who are summoned on coroners' jurles are men who some times travel, and no man can travel much without noticing that the work ing force of railroad company gen. erally contains some pretty bad stuff.
 A man who, looking out of car windows, always sees the same man at switch, no matter how early or late the hour, is likely to blame the company in case of collision. Men who, when an engi- neer sounds "down brakes" see brake men first look ahead, and to their own chances of safety, before they turn their brake wheels, are likely to be against a company that retains such men. Travel CTS who have seen some attache of a stopped train walk slowly backward with his red feg, caring more about the danger of being left behind than that of collision, are likely to blame the con- pany, particularly if most of the officers are better known as stock speculatore than as practical railway managers. Men who read the papers also know how the repairs of some roads are ne g
 lected so that an apparent surplus may swell the fund from which dividends
 must be paid. Jurors are never agains

 business properly. .-Ne,O York Herald

A Model Woman.

Of lady who died in Pittsburg, Pa., 8 few days ago the COnanaerciat' Gazette of that city says: "She was 8 model woman in all the relations of life, whether as daughter, wife, mother, sis ter. friend or Christian. She was a model in her thoughfulness and care for her parents in their declining years. She was & model in the confidence she placed in her husband and her interest in his success. She was model in the affection she bestowed on her children and her solicitude for their souls saliva vation. She was model in the example she set for her sisters to follow. They were all disposed to take her as such. She was model as friend, in that she was "a friend at all times She was 8 model in the consistent, godly life she lived and the peaceful and triumphant death she died. She was altogether unselfish, she was kind, she was benev olent, she was charitable; she was for giving, she was meek, she was humble she was Christ-like, she believed, sht trusted, she worked, she made home happy, and when a stranger entered tho family circle to sojourn for little i was but & little while until he felt h' was in the sunshine.

After Twenty Years.

A man in Missouri the other day was trying to raise $50. He exhausted his resources in vain and was about giving up in despair. A sudden thought struck him. Arising be girt his loins about him and hied him to Little Rock. Leaving the train he made his way to the State House, inserted his fingers into a crevice in the foundation and drew out 8 $10O bill which he had secreted while prisoner at Little Rock during the war, nearly twenty years before, but whose existence inc had quite forgotten, even during previous occasions when much in need of money. "As I took the bill from it's hiding place." says the old man-or the re- porter" flood of recollections poured over me. For moment could see the hungry faces around me; I could see ragged forms, and could hear the half plaintive, halfrevengeful voices around me. I felt for moment as I must have felt when I placed the money in its hiding place; and, upon my word, although I had eaten hearty dinner, felt for time as though could eat 6 roasted mule. ."-Detroit Free Press.

An Italian Brigand.

Pietro Gasparone, the renowned brigand chief, expired the other day h an asylum for the poor near Naples, aged ninety. More than half 8 century ago the inhabitants of his native province conferred the sobriquet of "The Terror of the Abruzzi" upon him. He positively revelled in crime. When mere stripling of nineteen he took to brigandage in consequence of a disappointment in love. At that time he had spent three years as cowherl in the service of 8 wealthy farmer, of whose only daughter he became enamored. The immediate result was Gasparone's dismissal, to revenge which he joined a predatory association, of which he subsequently became the President, and persuaded his new comrades to join him in raid upon his unkind masters family and property. In this expedi- tion he slew the object of his affections and her father with his own hand, leaving the other members of the family to be dispatched by his associates. Later on, under the Bourbon regime, he succeeded in inspiring the Abruzzi population with such abject fear that no one could be induced to betray him throughout his long career, although the Neapolitan Government at One time offered 8 reward of five thousand ducats for his head. As soon, however, as his physical powers began to fail him, ht contrived to make terms with tht authorities, and surrendered himsel voluntarily upon the assurance that | full pardon would be granted to him
 During the last ten years of his life
 spent in the asylum above referred to
 he is said to have written his memoirs
 to be published after his death unde the title, "The Experience of
 Neapolitan Patriot from the Year 191
 to the Close of the Franco-Austria
 War;"

Tortured by Indians.

A letter from Arizona tells the follow ing sad story of an Indian massacre :- "Stanislaus Metas, nine years old, has just arrived from Stevens's sheep camp with the following story of the Indian massacre on the 18th of April: Before daylight the Indians attacked the camp while we were all asleep. My father and five other men attempted to get their guns, but were too late. The h. dians rushed in from all sides and over powered them before a shot could be fired. An Indian put the muzzle of his gun against the head of one man and fired, blowing his brains against the door and walls. I saw them kill my mother and two brothers by beating their brains out with stones. They killed five persons, and tied my father and tor tured him most dreadfully. He begged them to spare him, but they only tor tured him the more. Finally they split his skull with an ax. An Indian squaw, the wife of one of four friendly Apache sheep. herders who worked with us, saved my life by holding me behind her and begging them to spare me. Wher all the Mexicans were dead except me the Indians left"

Real Estate "Reminiscences.

The "Hermit" of the Troy Press writes from New York City as follows William Fl. Vanderbilt recently gave $4OO, ,O00 for plot of land on Fifth avenue 100 feet square, being at the rate of $1,500,OO0 per acre. This is the highest price paid for building plot in America. When came to New York the spot referred to was a mile beyond the suburbs, and the whole vicinity was occupied by market garden CTS. need hardly add that real estate is now at unparalleled prices. The auction mart for this speciality is held in the basement of Trinity building, and this vast area (4Ox16O feet) has dozen auction stands, at all of which sales may take place at the same time with out interference. Each auctioneer has his crowd, and, as each bidder is eager for bargain, no attention is paid to the din from the neighboring stand. The Merchants Exchange in Wall street was formerly the real estate mart, but when it became the Custom House a change was necessary. The auction eers have their offices elsewhere, and only resort to their real estate stands at the hour of sale Hence, on one day the place may be csowded and the next 1t may be desertedl The most import ant sale which has taken place this sea- son was that of the water front belong. ing to the Rhinelander estate. Ii extends 535 feet along the Hudson, and brought, under the hammer, the pretty sum of $732, ,50O, being at the rate ot $1,369. .16 per running foot. This fac

Horace Greeley's Shoes.

The St. Louis Repu6hcdn says: About the year 1870, when Arthur Bar ret was president of the Fair Associa- tion, MT. Greeley accepted an invitation to deliver the annual address in the am. phitheatre at the fair grounds. Colonel Charles Food was chairman of the Re- ception Committee, and after the close of the address escorted the speaker to his room at the Southern Hotel, where he bade him goodbye, as MT. Greeley was to leave the city early on the fol lowing morning. Before leaving him, however, Col. Todd said: "Well, MT. Greeley, I trust that during your stay here every thing has been done for your comfort, and that everything has been satisfactory to you." "Yes," replied MT. Greeley, slowly and with consider able hesltancy, everything has been as pleasant as I could have desired ex- "-here the old gentleman looked sadly down at his feet and after brief pause except that some one stole my shoes last night" "Stole your shoes ?" echoed Col. Todd, in as- tonishment, also surveying MT. Gree ley's feet. "Yes," replied MT. Greeley, with sigh, and moving his feet uncom. fortably "yes, left them outside my door last night and some one walked off with them. But new pair was left in place of the old ones, and that's what troub bles me. The old ones were easy and comfortable, but the new ones hurt my feet" Several weeks elapsed before the mystery of the stolen shoes was solved. It was then ascertained that a colofed man named Wilkinson, who was one of the barbers at the Southern, had really taken MT. Greeley's shoes as me- mentoes. In speaking of the matter to Col. Todd, Wilkinson said that he was walking along the hall near MT. Gree ley's room, and seeing the shoes the idea struck him that they would be just the things to give to the children to re. mind them of him who had done sc much for the colored man. He there. fore took them, hurried to shoe store, where he purchased pair of much bet ter shoes of the same size as the old ones, and, returning to the hotel, put the former where the latter had stood
 He thought that fair exchange was nc robbery, and felt that he was giving much more in actual value than he was receiving. Wilkinson is dead, but the shoes are probably now in St. Louis. Il is understood that several relic-hunter, are looking for them.
