THE CARLYON CALAMITY.
The Cause of the Terrible Disaster.

Engineer Boynton said: ''I first saw che freight car when about four rods from it, after I had passed the Carlyon station. I blew for down brakes and reversed my engine. just had time to do that when we struck and my engine turned over on her side on the north lying in the cab unhurt, though previous accident. when the en- zine rolled down an embankment, also came out without scratch. My fire cab, and he too escaped unhurt Steam was escaping freely from the savety- valve, but enough of it did not reach us to do any harm. We were running, I should say, about twenty-five miles all hour.
 "The collision occurred on an up grade. We left Lewiston twenty min utes late and were thirty minutes late when we left Lyndonville. From Lyn- donville to Carlyon is four miles, and we ran that distance about on schedule time. My engine was freight engine, and I commonly hauled freight trains with her. I had drawn this passenger Gra1u S6V0fd1 tll1G6 ldSG 5umuoI. 1u0 second was passenger engine, and Mccarthy, the engineer on it, whistled for brakes after we struck. There was no air brake on the train. Even if there had been, I do not think the train could have been stopped in time to, o,avoid an accident, though it might not have been so fatal. As we passed Carlyon depot I looked out for danger signals, but saw none. Just then the fireman opened the furnace door, and the bright light from the burning coal sort of blinded me-, For moment after he closed it I could not see distinctly from the head light. Just as soon as l could see plainly discovered the car on the track. The track-walker, Perry, had passed by it not more than an hour before we struck it. We passed him mile west of Carlyon and he must have been con- ing toward the depot, for the fagman that was sent back met him."
 Albert Perry, the track-walker, testi- fled that he went over the track about half an hour before the collision and everything was all right. And yet ii seems from other testimony that @ freight car was blown 128 feet with the brakes set, which appears hardly credi. ble The depot master says he did mol examine or look to see if everything was all right.

The LaWyer'S Hotel,

Four years ago MT. Harding, the dis tinguished Philadelphia lawyer, was stopping at little hotel up here among the clouds on the top of the Catskills. One day he wanted boiled chicken, and asked the proprietor why the chickens were so healthy on top of the Catskills why he never saw any dead ones.
 eff you want broiled chicken, said mine host, indignantly, you'd better build hotel and have them cooked"
 "Very we'll; I'll do it., said MT. Hard ing. "Tll have spring chickens if I have to build hotel and run it myself. |"
 The next day the rich Philadelphia lawyer picked out site on the top of Catskill Mountains, where he could see sixty miles of the Hudson River, with Berkshire Hills beyond. Then he got hold of some other rich men, formed a company, and built the great hotel Kaaterskill, the largest mountain hotel in the world. It has thousand rooms, and is in the middle of four thousand acre park. The hotel was success from the first, and it is safe to say MT. Beach's little healthy chicken now pays MT. Harding about $25, GOO year. A. T. Stewart bought the old Union Hotel in Saratoga through freak and ran it for fun.

cupy the mill; but, dear me, she'd never think of making cottage-cheese or shar- ing ghoney-or-or-taking my lam on her lap and prescribing for his ludicrous liver Not Litta, indeed. And Grace Greenwood would be writing for the pa pers and Mrs. Scott so busy making pictures that neither of them would stop to get up warm meals for them selves, even. Yes, you have dear, good neighbor, no doubt better than any of my favorite authors, artists, or singers wonld make" and she took an- other spoonful of the creamy cheese.
 We thought so, too. We would not exchange Mercy Flint as 8 neighbor for a woman who could claim wealth, fame, wisdom, intellect, or any of the gifts that raise woman to the heights of exal- tation.
 Mercy could not write line of poetry, yet she lives out whole poems. In the high places of native sympathy her soul shares the keen delights that poets love. The world bestows no vain applause on such humble ones, but they lose not a jot by it. She knows nothing of the vulger strife for high places. Her fam fly and her neighbors and her friends entertain an angel unaware. She is content and proud of her simple life and simple pleasures and of the name and meaning of wife and mother. She de- lights in little services, in making others happy, and the result is, she leads life in little world of enchantment, which surrounds her like charmed circle. Is it any wonder that we love our neighbor at the old Flint Mill ?-RoselLo Rice, in Arthur's Home Magazi,ae.

THE SHOOTING OF CAREY.
How it Was Accomplished on the Steamer
 Near Cape Town.

A dispatch from Cape Town says that Carey, the informer, only took passage Carey was fellow passenger he con- tinued on the journey with him on the steamer Melrose, and shot him when that steamer was close to Algoa Bay in the presence of the informer's family. A fund to be used in defending him is being collected. Carey died without speaking after he was shot. O'Donnell is an Irish American. He denies that he knew who Carey was previous to his ar- rival at Cape Town.
 O'Donnel was accompanied from England by a woman he called his wife, who appeared to be. on intimate terms with the Carey family during the voyage. O'Donnell was examined before Port Elizabeth magistrate on the charge of numbering Carey. According to tho evil dence given Carey and O'Donnell had been drinking in the second class cabin before the murder. When the steamer was half way between Table Bay and Algoa Bay O'Donnell suddenly shot Carey in the neck with a revolver. Carey staggered away, and O'Donnell followed and shot him twice in the back. Carey died in twenty minutes. O'Don- nell says he was Californian digger. He had lost largely in a silver mine. He was unaware of Careys identity un- til he saw it stated in Cape paper who he was. He then determined to kill him.
 He is six feet high, has gray eyes and dark hair; is about forty-five years of age, and is paralyzed in one hand.
 Mrs. Carey deposed at the examina- tion that after the murder she asked O'Donnell: -"Did you shoot my hus- band?" and he replied:-"Yes, I was sent to do it.
 Careys identity was suspected by the steward and another of the crew of the ikeness-although shaven-to portraits of the informer and the number and name of his children.
 Carey $ demeanor on board the steamer was imprudent. He lived very freely. He provoked row at Cape Town hotel by his abuse of the English.
 A mob of men entered some of the houses on Abbey street, Dublin, and seized bedding, furniture, and other ar- hcles, with which to make bonfires in celebration of the death of James Carey. Efigies of Carey were burned and mock funerals were held in various Irish towns. Eight enormous bonfires were built around James Carey slate residence. There were also fires in streets through out the city. Bands marched through the streets playing national airs, followed by crowds of people who cheered as they marched. A slight collision oc. cured between the crowd and the police. The officials fear that the Feni ans will be much emboldened by these demonstrations.
 The London Times pronounces tho deathaof Carey a.public misfortune. Il says he had been an instrument of jus tice. The murder is calculated to en courage daring and lawless spirits t, commit acts of violence. The joy caused in Ireland by the informer's death is proc that many elements of danger still exis there.
 The Dublin Ne,Os says that while hil death cannot but give joy to the req friends of Ireland, it is also 8 menace but the unhappy event gives proof if that were needed, that the element of danger continue to exist.

THE BRAZILIAN ARMY is in rather disorganized condition. The ex-Minis- ter of War in Brazil gives melancholy account of the laxity of discipline, not merely among the rank and file, but also among the higher officers. One of these, Colonel, on hearing that he had been passed over, went to the War Depart ment, abused the officials there, and swore that if the Emperor did not see justice done he would let them know what three hundred bayonets could do in the streets of Rio Janeiro. The hos pitals in many parts are sinks of financial corruption. Some officers frequently receive for medicine four or five times their active pay, and leeches are hired four or five times 8 month at eighty cents each every time. Electric collars are supplied at the cost of tens of thou sands of dollars, and feeding bottles figure in the accounts for over fifty thou sand dollars, Gas though" adds the ex- Minister scarcastically, "the military hospitals were nurseries for children" :"

Carey the Irish InfOrmer.

James Carey, the Irish informer, was bricklayer in Dublin, and member of the Town Council. Some months after the assassination of Lord Cavendish and MT. Burke the police arrested him and many others. Eventually Carey and seven confederates were arraigned on @ charge with the authorities he confessed that he was not only present at the assassination, but that he was one of the master spirits of the conspiracy. He had belonged to the Fenian Brotherhood since 1862 and became an Irish Invincible in 1881. He arranged plans for the murder of Secre- nally it was decided to kill MT. Burke, and Carey took party of seven, consisting of Curley, Joseph Hanlon, Pagan, Brady, Kelly, McCaffery and Patrick Delaney, into Phoenix Park. The murders were committed by Brady and Curley, Carey taking no actual part in the stabbing, but aiding and abetting. Carey gave evidence against the seven prisoners, five of whom were hanged. Mrs. Carey was boycotted and Carey's house set on fire, presumably by Invmcibles. On the ap- plication of the Collector General of Rates Carey was adjudged bankrupt on account of the rates on his property not having been paid. He threatened to resume his place in the Town Council and to continue his business as @ brick layer. These threats were made in or der to induce the government to give him some reward or purchase his con- sent to emigrate. His applications for written pardon were unheeded, his demands for terms were unanswered; his brother Peter was removed from his company, so that he did not know what had become of him; other in- formers hadleft the prison, and he knew not whither they had gone. He began to suspect that something had been done with his family, and the expression in a letter, written shortly before he was taken from Kilmainham, shows he was suspicious that they had been, as he terms it, kidnapped" Carey's elder children were first sent away; then his wife and the younger members of the family followed, it being intimated to them that Carey would meet them at 8 certain port. The news was imparted to him that his wife and seven children were already aboard ship, ready to sail, and unless he chose to join them, their passages having been paid, he wonld have but little chance of meeting them for a very considerable time. This last blow overwhelmed him and he was ready to go anywhere.
 There is scarcely any doubt that Carey was concerned in many of the murders of landlords in Ireland. The Irish po- lice stated that they had plenty of evi- dence to connect him with capital crimes, and according to his own admissions on cross examination his career had been one of conspiracy and wickedness.

SOMEHOW OR OTHER WE GET ALONG

The good wife hustled about the house,
 Her face still bright with pleasant smile, AS broken snatches of happy song
 Strengthened her heart and hand the while. The good man sat iu the chimney nook,
 His little clay pipe within his lips, Ana all he'd made and all he had lost,
 Heady and clear on his finger tips Good wife, I've just been thinking & bit.
 Nothing has done very we'll this year; Money is bound to be hard to get
 Everything's bound to be very dear; How the cattle are going to be fed,
 How we're to keep the boys at school IS kind of debt and credit sum
 I can't make balance by my rule." She turned her around from the bsking bread And she faced him with cheerful laugh; stWhy, husband dear, one would think
 That the good, rich whe at was only chaff. And what if the wheat was only chaff
 As long ss we both are well and strong; I'm not woman to worry bit
 Somehow or other we get along. Into some lives some rain must fall,
 Over all lands the storm must beat, But when the rain and storm are OCT,
 The after-sunshine is twice as sweet Through every strait we have found road,
 In every grief we have found song; We have had to bear, and had to wait,
 But somehow or other we get along. For thirty years we have loved each other, Stood by each other whatever befel; Six boys have called us father and mother,
 And all of them living and doing well. We owe no man penny, my dear,
 We're both of us loving, and well and strong, Good man, wish you would smoke again, And think how well we've got along" He filled his pipe with pleasant laugh;
 He kissed his wife with tender pride; He said, 'I'l do as you tell me, love,
 I'll just count up on the other side," She left him then with his better thought,
 And lifted her work with a low, sweet song song that followed me many year,
 Somehow or other, we get along.

WOMEN AND Doas.-Kate Field says: ''The way women travel with miserable little dogs fills me with amazement. Men don't; and when I think of the pam pering these creatures get, and what a nuisance they are to travellers, and how the same amount of care bestowed upon children would result in untold benefit to mankind, become cynical. The affection wasted upon poodles would, if properly distributed, supply all poor orphans with. homes."
