Walnut Ridge, Ark, October 49,
An attempt was made to rob the north
bound express train or the Iron Noun
tain road last night about 10 O'Clock,
between O'Kean and Deplaine, fifteen
miles north of this place. Fortunately
the express train was late and a local
freight was running OF the time of the
express. The local was signalled by
lanterns and when it stopped was
boarded by a party with masks and
heavily armed. After a few questions
they found they had stopped the wrong
train and passed into the woods with
many curses, but without molesting
anything or anybody. The conductor
of the local telegraphed Roadmaster
Con Griffin, of this place, who started
with a posse of citizens, headed by John
Rhea and accompanied by an United
States marshal, who went north on the
belated express eager for a fight with
the robbers. The search is still in pro-
gress.

River Steam Boating in a Fog.

IA fllots lax IN tne AlODlle (Ala.) ReglsterJ
"Sometimes fog catches us, and then
we 20 by guess-plain guess. We move
slow and have one hand on the engin-
GERS bell all the time. We nose up into
the bushes once in a while, and back
out and turn around. Oh, it's amusing
what capers a boat will cut in fog.
Why, / recall once I was on the Alice
Vivian going up at the foot of the Island,
when fog came up so dense you had to
brush it aside to see your hand. We
chased around there for long time,
now into this bank, now into that, when
all at once l found we were in pocket
with a bank on both sides of us and a
bank Il little way ahead. Yes, sir, we
were 200 yards up in Three. mile Creek,
having come down the river to accom-
plish this feat. About two years ago [
was following Capt. Peoples, of che john
son, IN fog, listening to her escape
pipes and steering well into the point.
l thought everything Was going all right,
when the johnson came steaming back,
and l learned that Capt. Peoples had
been up the Tensas River and was going
right through to the Atlantic Ocean when
he heard a dog bark. Knowing there
was no dog put down on his chart, he
turned back, and came down where 1
was. Well, we run by dog-barking, by
rooster growing, by pig-squeals. These
are reliable signs to run by. Sometimes
we run by the stopping bell and then by
the rudder. You see we ring the bell,
and accordingly as it sounds with faint
or quick echo, we judge how far we are
from the shore. We sometimes stop the
boat ever so often, just to hear the
bell echo and then it is almost the
same thing with the whistle and with
the wheel. When the wheel is grinding
away close in shore she makes an awful
roar, but when we are we'll out in the
middle of the stream you can scarcely
hear it. The other way of Judging the
run of the boat and her direction is by
the feel of the rudder. When the pilots
wheel turns hard we know which way
she is heading, even when we cannot see
the jackstatf. OF course it is science to
some degree, but. for the most part, pi-
loting in fog is pure guess-work.

"Sergeant, said diminutive speci-

officer wearing sergeant's uniform, on
the street about 10 O'Clock last night;
"can you send an officer to guard some
property tonight"
The urchin's clothes we're tattered, his
face was dirty, and he was soaked with
rain; but there was manly all about
him for all that. The officer looked
somewhat astonished at the request COM
ing from such strange source, but
asked kindly: "What do you want an
officer for, my boy?"
"Because," answered the child, and
tears filled his eyes, II was leaning
against a store window on Chestnut
Street, and [ guess I pushed too hard,
and the glass broke, and I couldn't
make anybody hear, so started as fast
as could to fini an officer, to keep any
body from stealing the things in the
window. And, Sergeant, I have thirty
five cents l made selling papers to-day.
If I give you that don't you think they
would let me go until could make
enough to pay for the glass? It is every

"Keep your money, my boy" said
the officer, ~ will see that the store is
guarded, and if you go and tell the
owner tomorrow, I don't believe he will
take cent from you. Anyhow, l can
trust you.'
"Thank you,'' said the boy, 81 will

to save all the money I can to pay him,
if he wants it." And drying his eyes he
went on. probably to cheerless home.

How Sages Blunder.
GGath in the New York Tribune.]

Gain IN the New 1OrK Ir1Dune.J
Old men give too much advice for it
all to be sound. Washington, it is said,
once decided that the Erie Canal was not
practicable. Sam Houston thought one
half the money congress voted to Morse
to build the first telegraph line ought to
be devoted to encourage mesmerism.
Cave johnson, postmaster general, de-
clined to buy the telegraph patents for
the government for 100000 on the
ground that it could not earn expenses.
Ezra Cornell spent two. thirds of Morse's
appropriations laying the first poor
starveling telegraph underground in
stead of stretching it like c]othes.line.
Timothy Howe was sure 50-cent tax on
whisky could not collect as much as a
So tax. Seward thought $4,000 men
would put down the rebellion. The old
Baltimore merchant to whom Poe's
poems were submitted endorsed them:
''Here is man tit for nothing whatever. :"
Franklin rather thought the stamp act a
smart recommendation. Commodore
Vanderbilt told his son to buy no rail-
road outside of New York state. Old
age is for counsel, but it ought to come
from the s'Amen" benches. All the wis
