A Million Dollars Saved by Dying Mans
Statement iatt

FRANKFORT, ky.t Special.
Before the late war General Buckner was
worth nearly million dollars, which he and
his wife inherited, and consisted mostly in
real estate in Chicago. When the war broke
out General Buckner, joining the Confede-
rate army, executed a deed of all his prop
erty to his wife's brother, Major Kingsbury,
who afterward joined the Federal army and
was killed at the memorable battle of Ante-
tam. Before his death, while lying on the
battle field, he made statement to a few of
his comrades who surrounded him about
the large amount OF property he was
the possessor OF, and how he came
in possession, which was simply by deed of
trust. The Federal government confiscated
the property after the death Of Major Kings

In the Interest of the People.


The Republican party has of late shown a
determination to rid itself of monopolies and
labor in the interest of the laboring men. 1t
is a conceded fact that the energy, push and
brains of the country lies principally in the
Northern States. These are nearly all Re-
publican. The masses are pretty we'll edu-
Gated and think for themselves. Now, one
can readily see that if the legislation of the
country Is turned over to the South, which is
already aristocratic. and the corporations OF
the North, that 1t would be most vicious and
subversive of the principles upon which our
government was founded.

There is perhaps not Northern State in
which the Democratic party has not arrayed
itself against attempts TO regulate the liquor
traffic. Its representatives in the Legisla-
lures have voted almost solidly against re-
strictive laws as well as against prohibitory
amendments. The liquor-tax law which has
just passed the Ohio Legislature received the
votes o. two Democrats only in the lower
house. The same party insisted upon dead

Railroads in Brazil.

There has been considerable progress
and deep interest felt in railroad de-
velopment in Brazil the past year.
The Government owns and administers
several lines, and, as a rule, guarantees
an income of seven per cent on the
necessary capital invested in the con-
struction of private roads. The number
of miles of railroad owned and in opera
ton by the Government is 800; and it
also has nearly the same number of
miles of railroad in course of construc-
ton, and which probably will be
finished in six or eight months. The
number of miles of private railroads in
operation is 1000, and in course of con-
struction, 1,400. On the capital of
$34,000,000 employed by the private
companies owning these roads the Gov
eminent has guaranteed an annual in
come of seven per cent. This guaran-
tee is not loan, but an absolute gift;
and so far the Government continues to
pay the interest on the above mentioned
capital. AS soon as the companies
begin to make sufficient earnings, the
Government will cease the payment of
interest. Fully one-third of the rail-
roads are through billy country. The
greater portion of them are through a
country that has long been settled,
though a considerable part is yet but
sparsely settled. Most of the rails with
which the roads have been made were
imported from England, while part of
the rolling-stock was brought from the
United States. The roads are surveyed
and built by Brazilian engineers almost
wholly. They sometimes suffer con-
siderable damage and obstruction from
freshets. Picture, however, territory
as large as all that part of the United
States lying east of the Rocky Mount
aims only supplied with as many miles
of railroad as are to be found in the
State of Massachusetts, and you will
perceive how very limited as yet is the
railroad development of this country

The Habit Of Teasing.

The trouble about teasing is, that it
makes nobody really happy, and it
always causes somebody to feel annoyed
l do not know that big brothers are more
in the habit of teasing than other people
are, but it often happens that many lit
tie nieces run to me and say: "Please
Aunt Marjorie, won't you speak to vii
lie P'' or, won't you ask Hugh to lei
my pussy alone?n And when / look al
the grieved faces and quiyering lips,
although | am very amiable person,
indeed, | assure you l want to give
Hugh or VIII shaking.
1t Is very unmanly to tease little SIS
tiers. Once in q while, too, it happens
that the little sisters grow up and write
books, and put the teasing brothers into
them, and then the whole world finds
out what naughty boys they were. That
is what befell the brothers of Madame
Michelet, French lady, who was nO
very happy as child. Her brothers
worried her cat; and stole her dar
ling doll, and hanged it to tree. Is it
not terrible to think that in these days
hundreds and thousands of children
know just how badly those boys be-
haved so long ago?
But have met teasing girls in my
time. l suppose you will think it
strange that grown-up lady should be
so silly as to be afraid of caterpillars,
and, indeed, your Aunt Marjorie is very
much ashamed to confess so absurd
fear. Still, it IS fact, and can you
imagine anything more cruel in a little
girl, knowing this, than to put a poor
innocent caterpillar on my arm one
day? L am sure you would have felt IN
dignant had you been there.
Then, besides being very annoying, it
is quite possible that a serious injury
may result from what is simply meant
as innocent teasing. A boy or girl who
is never timid nor nervous may play
some trick that will brighten more
delicate and sensitive brother or sister
into real illness. 1t seems dreadful to
think of, but cases have been known
where poor little children have been
frightened into convulsions, and actually
to death, by heartless and ignorant
people.
Teasing is wrong, because it impliesa

Jerry's Speech.

When Jerry was six years old he he
gan to go to school. Toward the end
of the school term the teacher wished
to have an exhibition. All the scholars
were to learn pieces to speak. Jerry's
mother found some verses beginning:
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How wonder what you are"
Jerry thought these verses were very
nice, and with his mothers help he soon
learned them.
She taught him how to make a bow
and to point up to the sky when he said
''star," and to wave his hand over his
head when he said: "Up above the
world so high" After some practice
she thought he made these motions very
prettily.
Jerry's best pair of pantaloons were
old and patched. He must have a new
pair to speak in; but the stores were
far away, and money was very scarce.
After searching for something to make
them of, his mother used large check
apron she priced very much, and wore
only on holidays.
Some of my little readers would have
smiled if they had seen Jerry dressed
in his long, blue and white check pan
falcons, check shirt and heavy shoes.
He thought he looked very fine. He
could not help admiring himself; in
fact, he thought too much about his new
pantaloons.

A Long Bridge.

On Sunday party, composed mainly
of railroad officials and contractors
interested in the building of the New
Orleans and Northeastern Railroad, took
trip across Lake Ponchartrain for the
purpose of examining the great trestle-
work now in course of construction.
The entire length of the trestlework
when completed will be twenty-one and
half miles. This distance comprises
thirteen and half miles from People S
Avenue Canal to the Point, five and
three-quarter miles across the lake and
two and four-tenths miles from the north
shore. All of the piling along the
southern shore, with the exception of
about one mile, has been driven and
this division will be completed by July
l. OF the piling in the lake, two and a
quarter miles have been driven, and one
mile OF the work is completed. The
trestle on the north shore has been
finished some time and the rails are laid
nine miles, or to Pearl River. The
trestlework is all constructed after the
same plan, except that the cross-ties are
further apart in the approaches than in
the bridge proper, and that the timber
used on the latter is all cresoted. The
description of the bridge will answer
for the other work.
This structure, which probably will
be the longest of the kind in the United
States, will also be one of the most sub
stantial. Experts in railroad building
pronounce the sections already finished
the most perfect specimen of trestle
construction they have seen. The piles
average sixty feet in length and are
driven about forty feet. In each bent
there are four piles, and the bents are
fifteen feet apart. The caps of the
piles are twelve by fourteen inches, and
the stringers are six by sixteen inches,
and three of them on each side laid on
edge. The cross-ties are only four
inches apart, and on them are bolted
stringers which act as guard rails.
The ties form n secure decking to the
trestlework upon which the wheels of a
car could run without danger of leav-
ing the bridge on account Of the guard
rails.
The trestlework, from beginning to
end, is one of the grandest undertaking.
connected with railroad building in the
South. Some idea of its MAGNITUDE
may be formed from the statement that
the quantity of lumber required, out
side of the piles, is over Is, O0O. 600 feet.
There will be S,16l bents, of four piles
each, or 32,644 piles.-N D. Picagstle.

get load of hay four miles northwest
of the city, near the Walsh farm. On

the horses were driven into snow-drift,
where the load upset. The young men
righted up the sleigh. and without re-
loading the hay, started for home. They
got off the track, however, and night
coming on, they became discouraged,
and unhitching the horses, let the
animals loose. to find their way as hest
they could. Being thoroughly bewil.

move, the two men sought shelter under

were turned loose. Here the two lay
