employed, and in some of them they are

Flying Down a Mountain.

A party of English tourists who had
assembled Mount McGregor, rear Sara
toga, complained to MI. W. j. Arkell,
the manager of the inclined railway,
that they had not had a sample of speed
in any of their travels on this side of
the water. MI. Arkell volunteered to
satisfy their desire. He disposed of
them in an observation car, to which
was attached an engine. What hap
pened is recorded in the SaratogiGn:
Gentlemen, you will be in Saratoga
or somewhere else in ten minutes,''
said Mr.. Arkell, as he waved his hand
to the engineer and said: s.Let her
slide"
Nobody in that crowd to this day can
tell just exactly what happened. Per-
sons who were in the neighborhood Of
Mount McGregor state that they saw q
streak of lightning climb down the
mountain side and go plunging in the
direction of Saratoga. Persons who
were down at the McGregor depot in
Saratoga were greatly surprised by the
sudden appearance of a dusty little
engine and a single car in which were
five human beings. One of them sat on
the brake calmly picking his teeth with
a silver tooth-pick. This was Mr..
Arkell.
"Did you enjoy your little Trip, gen.
tlemen?" said he, as he steppedof the
brake and searched under the seats and
looked out of the window for what was
left of these four Britishers. The
remnants of the four answered feebly:,
''Are we still alive, sir:?"
81 don't know, said Mr.. Arkell.
II know that it is twelve miles
from the end of the road at the top
of the mountain to the end in town.
We were just six minutes and a halt
coming that distance, and I pledge you
my word. gentlemen, we didn't turn a
curve on the whole trip. We went on.
a Decline, and where the tracks were
out of a dead-line we simply cut over
the country till we struck the tracks
again. 1t was a reasonable speed for a
first trial, gentlemen, but if you will
come up again, nov that we have had
a little experience, I think we can
beat the last record by a minute and a
half"

The Outcast Plow.

ga short time ago, [ was passing q
farm and saw a good pillow, not an old
pillow, but one apparently new in the
spring, left standing in the furrow, Just
where a month or two before the boy
had left it when he finished the field. I
said to myself, ALAS, poor plow! were
you a Scotch implement you would not
thus be left out in the cold.' You see,
therefore be excused if l have a natural
tendency, Oh perhaps failing, for COM
pairing the customs of the West with
those of my paternal country. But I
said to myself, :As this is a strange
country, perhaps the farmer has some
good reason for leaving his pillow in the
cold L asked myself, was that pillow
manufactured down South, and has the
considerable owner left it there to be-
come accustomed to the stern rigors OF
a Northern climatep'
'.Perhaps the timber required season.
ing. Maybe he left it there because it
was nearer the field where he intended
to employ it next season than it would
have been had he taken it home. L
noticed n thing requiring care and
forethought-the share was covered
with earth. 1 said to myself, That's to
keep it from rusting, doubtless Did
the farmer leave his pillow there in order
to say to any neighbor who might wish
to borrow it, Sorry, my friend, but
we've lost that plow!
Snow if that pillow had been left out
In q Scotch field, the farmer would have
built a neat shed over it, or at least
have covered it with straw, and fixed on
it a label bearing the words, Here lieth

A Remarkable but Somewhat Doubtful
Story.

The New York World recently had the
following telegram from Cape Lookout,
n. C.: The entire population of this
district are excitedly discussing . re-
markable event which happened here
yesterday. Three pilots, who were
lying in their boats off the lighthouse,
were suddenly attracted ythe appear
ance of an iceberg at a little distances
out at sea. The spectacle was a grand
one as the enormous white mass, glis-
tening in the sunlight, and its lofty
columns rejecting all the tints of the
rainbow, foated slowly past.
The pilots hoisted their anchors and,
setting sail, ran a race to the iceberg,
which was gained by the foremost in
seventeen minutes. An exploration
of the iceberg revealed a Greenland
kayak, or boat made from the skins of
reindeer, inside of which lay the body
of an Esquimaux, who had apparently
been frozen to death. Aspear lay beside
him, and some fish bones were found
imbedded in the ice. 1t was evident
that, in addition to the cold and expos
ure of a. Arctic sea, the man had suf..
fered the fortunes of hunger, for his
boots were eaten down to the heels and.
the sides of his skin boat were almost
knawed away.
The perfect condition of the body led
the pilots to suppose that life might not
be entirely extinct, so they took the
Esquimaux ashore and placed him
before a big fire, and rubbed him vigor-
ously. As life and warmth seemed to
be returning to the almost ~lifeless body,
n of the men placed a bottle of North
Carolina whisky to the lips of the little
stranger, and forced him to gulp down
about a pint of the liquid. The Esqui-
maux opened his eyes, kicked the fire,
and gasped: .'Good, captain. Kapsi-
mi brai." .'He wants a sperm-oil cock
tall" said one of the sailors, who had
in younger days been in the Arctic
whale-fishery. Haven't got it," said
Captain Cramp. ''Give him another
pint of whisky" This was done. The
Esquimaux seemed to recover. He sat
up, stared around, muttered ssKumi,
kumi'' many times, then lay down as
if weary, gave a slight gasp, and <
pired. .
His body was buried here to-day,
after having been viewed by the people
from all parts of the country. The
pilot who first reached the iceberg in
sists on keeping the boat and spear,
and proposes to tow the iceberg
to Charleston, where ice at this season
brings a good price.

Daniel Conroy, of Erie, Pa, who
achieved notoriety two years ago by
going insane over the ''ifteen'' puzzle,
has recently been released from the
asylum where he was confined. Re-
Gently, while working on the new ca
thedral tower, 1876 feet from the ground,
he got furious over a trivial dispute with
a fellow workman and tried to throw
him from the scaffold. A terrible
struggle ensued, and both were kept
from being dashed to pieces by other
workmen, who came to the assistance
of the man whom Conroy had assailed.
