There was a baby on a car of the Chi
cago, Burlington and Quincy railroad yes
terday afternoon.
It-a baby in long clothes is always an
twas loaded to the muzzle with cry
II was little thing, not more than two
feet long, but it had more cry coiled up
in it than you would suppose could be
slowed away in baby as big as a town
constable. What wouldn't an auctioneer
give for that baby's capacity
Well, the train and the baby got a
good, even start, and for several miles
the passengers looked on with interest in
the race. Almost anybody would bet,
otfhand, that baby's steam would run
down before an engine's but if you knew
this particular baby you would disdain
all illegal propositions and declare your
self not betting character;" which,
by the way, is most righteous declara-
tlon-when you have no sure thing.
The poor, young mother of this porta.
bic noise factory was crimson with en-
barrassment, for of cotrse, every pas
senger looked at her and seemed to her
to say: "Why don't you shut up that
squalling brat ~
Presently a man with long, flowing
beard came up the aisle, chucked the
baby under the chin, made a horrid
grimace, and simpered: "Da, da da,
tootle te tooty."
The baby was crying as loud as it
could. but this made it cry louder.
A man across the way said perhaps
there was a pin sticking into it; and the
baby was tipped and turned and wapsed
about until investigation exploded this
theory.
Probably got the collie" :" said a digni-
fed woman with double chin. A man
in long duster gave it a pepperment
lozenge, but the baby declined it with
kicks and yells.
The poor mother looked down at the
floor as if she wished to find a nail hole
to slip through. A kind-looking woman
came from the other end of the car, took
the baby and pranced up and down the
aisle, bobbing and jumping the bundle
of scream until it was demonstrated that
this was not the cure. She passed
the baby to q man, who offered it his
knife, but that was spitefully flung to
the floor as the baby opened the steam
throttle another notch.
A young man with struggling mus
tache and high collar was looking out of
a window whistling " Only Pansy Bios
SOM" He turned his head languidly
and suggested to the man who was trot-
ting the screaming infant on his knee
trying to shake its lungs down into the
muffling folds of its long skirts, If you
folks keep on until you frighten the baby
to death it'll stop crying, 1 guess"
Every eye in the caI shot a blood-red
glare at that young man. What did he
know about babies, the strippling2 But
the baby was passed back to its mother
and all the passengers sat still and pouted
over the insult Then the baby in the
dense quietude laid its little head upon
its mothers shoulder, sniffled a few sobs,
and fell into a peaceful, noiseless slum-
Der, and the young man turtled his head
down into his high collar and continued
his tribute to the pansy blossom, while
the other passengers thought, "Now he
thinks he's smart, doesn't hep Chicago

QUESTIONS ).
d TO Av unto thee

Were bird to fly unto thee
In the wild weather, the wind and rain,
Beating my wings at thy window pane,
Would thou thy easement open to meg
In thy soft hands where nestled warm,
| should forget the cold and the storm,
Sheltered with thee.
Or would thou cold and unheeding be,
Turning to leave me affrighted there,
Fluttering, throbbing, in mute despair
Then, thou no pity showing to me,
Painting I'd fall in the stormy night,
Death meath thy easements mocking light,
Driven from thee
Were / leaflet to float to thee,
Drenched with the dews of the mornin,
sweet
Lying in sunshine, low at thy feet,
Would thou not, tenderly lifting me,
Keep me to prove to the winter SHOWS,
That the dead summer had her rose,
Cherished by thee
Or would thou, finding no Joy in me,
Leave me TO perish beside thy way,
A little rose-leaf withered and gray
Oh, my heart unremembered to be;
There in the sunlight moldering to lie,
Crushed by thy feet as they hurried by,
Forgotten by thee

SCIENTIFIC AND INDUSTRIAL.


1t is stated that a Paris firm has pat
ented an invention for the instantaneous
formation of steam.
Engineering is responsible for the state
ment that a vessel constructed of paper
has been launched in st. Petersburg.
She is driven by steam.
1t has been calculated that to make the
$50, 600 tons of paper annually required
for the supply of the world, 430 days
medium flow of water down the river
Thames would be needed.
Captain Schufeldt, of the United States
army medical corps, has forwarded to
the Smithsonian institution a collection
Of some 5000 specimens of vertebrates
and invertebrates collected around New
Orleans.
An ingenious apparatus called "fire-
damp indicator " has been invented in
Geneva. Every hour or half hour the
air of the mine is forced into the burner
by bellows and the result is registered
in the central Office.
Celluloid will not be as popular in the
future as it has been, if a new substance
which has been made up in London
proves successful. 1t possesses all the
hardness and brilliancy of celluloid, and
is, beside, freproof.
When cattle are intended to be ma
liciously destroyed in India they are
pierced with a thorn of the Arbus preca-
torius. Death ensues on the second day.
Strange to say, the pounded seeds, taken
internally, have little action.
A writer in the Journal Of Science, in
an article on "Cram and Its Amenities, :"
claims that brainwork is not by itself
physically injurious, but that, when
within reasonable bounds, it is distinctly
favorable to long life and he enforces
his argument with some happy illustra-
tions.
A new and curious use for the euca-
lyptus tree, already famed as an antidote
to malaria, was discovered by accident
lately in California The leaves, it has
been found, act as preventive of that
incrustation of steam boilers which leads
to their gradual corrosion and is said to
be almost the sole cause of explosions.
Dried apricots are likely to be promi-
nent article of export from California.

most entirely in tin cans, but, in conse-
quence of overproduction, the canning
factories reduced the price paid to the
farmer to such figure that he was driven
to experimenting with various processes
of drying, and discovered method that
leaves the fruit in a delicious state.
Among the various substances found
on the coated human tongue after a
microscopical examination are the follow
ing: Fibers of wood, linen and cotton E;

potato skins, scales, moths, etc. hair

Showers of Fishes.

The coast of Mexico, near Vera Cruz,
not long ago had shower of fishes,
causing the utmost CONSERVATION. A
similar thing happened at San Luis
Potosi. Superstitious people talked
about the end of the world. The fishes
were a species of sardines not familiar in
the neighborhood. A shower years ago
in Wales was of small fish known as
stickle-backs, sprinkling the ground over
an area of several square miles. They
were alive when they fell yet if caught
up by whirlwind from any of the
brackish ponds near the sea in which this
species of fish abounds they must have
been conveyed through the air distance
of thirty miles.

When.

When shall we be married, dearestl"
asked Gretchen, looking up into the face
of her American lover with eyes that re-
fected the deep inextinguishable love
that makes the Teutonic maiden willing
to cross the Atlantic as a stewardess in
the steerage cabin of Hamburg steamer
rather than suffer an ocean to separate
her from the object of her affections.
When shall we be married ~
Perciyal Fleming buried his nose in
the abundance of her Saxon curls, and to
all appearances addressing the back of
her head, passionately answered.
When you give up eating sauerkraut,

number of newspaper reporters, stating
that as he had refused to talk for two weeks
past he wished them now to get all the
news. He was taken from Jail at O'Clock
and conveyed to the gallows, mile distant
followed by large crowd. At the scaffold
he continued perfectly cool and never show
ed the least sign of fear. He spoke to the
crowd, declaring that he was perfectly vii,

his death. His likeness to Guiteau as he
stood on the scaffold was remarkable. At

minutes Jones was dead.
Henry Knight, colored, was executed for

The line of breastworks which in 1864
was thrown up around Raleigh, is now near
ly obliterated. But insome places, for hun
dreds of yards, the nearly perfect line yet
stands. Grass grows luxuriantly and keeps
the earth in shape. In one or two places
cannon lie rusting in the grass and ooze.
Much of the line, which was continuous,
runs through cultivated land, and can only
be discovered by red band on the lighter
soil. Yearly the plough is putting in its
work, and ere many years not single sign
of Raleigh's only defences will remain.

SOUTH CAROLINA THE BEST STATE AT
TER ALL.-George Stephens, who was a
member of the party of colored emigrants
that left Newberry for Texas in January,
returned few days ago. He soon became
dissatisfied with Texas, and began to work
his way home. He had rough and varied
experience, and he is inclined to put New
Orleans down as the wickedest city in the
universe. There he was feeced ofa carpet
bag containing his clothing and subjected
to other indignities. A dance was in full
blast on Sunday and the holy day was
desecrated without conscience. George says
Texas is s'heathen country" it does not
furnish religious advantages such as he had
been accustomed to. He says the party
soon "got its fill," Of Texas, but stayed there
because they had no way to get back. He
has made up his mind that South Carolina
isa good enough State to live and die in.
