Had the Proofs.

A hopping mad man at the Union de-
pot wanted to see the President, Secre-
tary, Superintendent and Treasurer all
at once, and it would have done him a
heap Of good could he have got within
striking distance of even a twenty thou
sand dollar stakeholder in any of the
railroads entering Detroit. To the
several queries as to what was on his
mind, he finally replied:
81 was coming in from Dearborn this
morning, a walking on the track. My
dog Bombo was with me. I've had that
dog five years, and have been offered
fifty dollars for him. He was little green
about railroads. but on everything else
he was as sharp as a razor. We had got
down about mile this side of the village
when l saw train coming"
''And stepped aside?''
''Of course did. I own one hundred
and sixty acres of land and am High
way Commissioner, but amt fool huff
to think I'm bigger'n railroad train.
''But the dog?'
HE stopped, too. reckon it was
the fust time he ever saw train, but
he'd have bin all right if the engineer
hadn't begun to toot. The mint he
heard that tootin' Bombo begun to bris-
tie, and while the train was five hum
dred feet away he started down the
track to meet it. y
''Then-?''
''Wan," said the man as he mopped
his forehead, sit was a leetle too much
fur him. An engine and five cars ought
to git away with dog any day in the
year. He riz about twenty feet high, /
reckon, took slant to the left, and
when he came down he broke the top
off a small tree"
''Weng''
81 motioned for the engineer to stop
the train as soon as the dog started. He
could have done it, but wouldn't. Indeed,
when the train went past me he leaned
out and lafed-yes, sir, LATED in my
face"
''And you want damagesP''
81 dol / want the worth of that dog
and five hundred dollars for the shock
to my nervous system"
Have you proofs?"
81 should smilei Even when I'm all
broke up I don't try to put the right
boot on the left foot; see that!''
And he drew from his pocket hind
! leg, two paws, an ear and a piece of the
lost CANNES tail and spread them on the
bench. There was an expressive silence
in the crowd, and then the Highway
Commissioner called out:

BIN AID and the Young FOIks.

Parents and teachers ought to be
mighty patient with children. Some
have more capacity and some more
memory. Some are slow and some are
quick. It is not the smartest child that
makes the smartest man or woman. It
is powerful strain on some OF 'em to
keep mp, and the dull ones oughtn't to
be crowded until they hate books and
dread the time of going to school. Some
folks send their children to school TO get
rid of 'em, but my opinion is the parents
ought to help the teacher every night.
1t shows the children how much interest
they feel in their education. 1t is a sign
of a good teacher when the children get
ambitious to keep up and get head
marks, and bring their books home at
night and want to go to school if it Is

Fashion Notes.


Ellen Terry bonnets and slippers arc

White kid bonnets are imported.
trimmed with fiat garniture of pearl
and crystal bead-work or hand painted
around the edges in small, delicately-
colered flowers and buds.
Opera pelerines made of white Ziblin-
cite, with hat and fan of white ostrich
tips, are the height of fashion just now
These are mostly worn with toilets Of
dark blue, ruby or dove-gray velvet.
Though less universally worn, the
reign of large-plaided materials is not
over; but few costumes are made of them
solely, combinations of plain Woolens or
velveteens being considered better taste
The newest have the tunic blouse front
draped on the cross, the diagonal lines
not then having the effect of increasing
size.
The style of certain waist worn over
half a century ago is now copied and
admired by ultra-fashiOnable young
ladies. The waist is. sharply pointed
front and back, while'ov the front is
laid shirred piece which reaches from
the throat to the extreme point, where
it ends in bow and ends of satin rib
bon. The sleeves are pulled and shirred,
and are exceedingly high on the
shoulder.
Tailor-made costumes of dark blue,
green, or brown velveteen, with toque
and muff to match, will be in great
fashion this winter. The furore for
velveteen is greater than ever, but it Is
positively necessary that it be of the best
quality only. Some very attractive
costumes are being sent over by leading
modistes of London, Paris and Vienna,
of a combination of soft wooden plaids
and velveteen, and also of velVeteen and
ottoman cloths in monochrome.
Many ladies are now wearing half
capes and mouchoir muffs made of dark
velvet bordered with brilliant feather
! trimming. Mufs and collars made
wholly Of fine feathers are conspicuouslY
fashionable, and usually match the bon
net or turban. AS rule, golden brown
feathers are In great quest. Brown Is
undoubtedly one Of the colors par eX-
| cellence, and it is wonderful how IN
Vulnerable are the tones discOverable In
a,color that would seem to admit of 50
| few variations.
Some of the new French polonaises Of
velvet are shaped in front to form a
waistcoat. The sides lengthen into long
panels, which reach nearly to the foot
| of the dress skirt. The trimming Dor
ders these panels, and is carried up
each side of the bodice portion framing
the waistcoat Handsome medalliOns
and pendants of passementerie are
| placed in the centre of the panels, and
on the richet models these are very often

THE TRUE LOVER.

Do you asks me, Starry Eyes,
To describe the lover trueI
Wonder not at my surprise
Who should know az well as youI
Think of ali that you have seen,
All the lovers that have been:
He is true whose love is shown
For her sake, and not his own.
What he does, he does alone;
Yet he hopes it wins her thought;
All that in his soul has grown
To her sovereign feet is brought;
g To his soul her image clings,
She seems woven In all Things,
And each thought that in him stirS
Is not for his sake, but hers.
For her sake he win endure,
For her self will sacrifice;
Bravely bearing, her love sure,
Censure, SANDER, scorn, advice
If another wins her heart,
Sadly he will from her part;
Sadly, bravely, true love is
For her sake and not for his.
This is the true lover sweet
Love as ever I am true;
For my love is all complete,
Perfect since it comes from you,
Darling, yet It's not true-no!
For / would not let you go;
j must keep you where you've grown,
For my sake, and not your own
For your own, because love
More than any other can;
More than over love could move
Heart of any former man.
Look at me and then agree
None have ever loved like me;
For whatever may do
Is because live in you.
Kiss, and so shut speech away;
When old age our life has spent
Twill be time enough to say
What is love in argument.
For the present all stars shine;
You are here and you are mine.
Love makes light, and song, and flowers
For whose sake? Dear love, for ours.

Curiously enough, the fortune of over
two hundred thousand dollars, which
she had accumulated, is left in bulk to
the ruffiian who murdered her, and who
is now in jail to stand trial for the
crime. Another incident worthy of note

Explosives.

Rapid and strong explosives are very
useful in hasty operations for the de-
struction of abatis, palisades, stockades,
barriers, and other military obstruc-
tiOns, and Iney form regular part of
the materiel in foreign armies. They
serve likewise to remove walls, houses
and other cover for an enemy to destroy
with celebrity bridges, particularly iron
truSsed railway viaducts, and in various
ways, not necessary to mention, are use
full in attack and defence. In industrial
uses they have perforated mountain
ranges to open rapid communications
between nations, have removed rocks
and other hard OoStructions from the
channels of rivers, and destroyed sub
marine wrecks. They have been applied
to break up the subsoil to depths of six
to ten feet to aid the growth of trees.
They have removed masses of cast or
wrought iron which accumulate below
the tap-holes of cupolas or form in the
crucibles of blast furnaces. They have
broken up ice dams interfering with
navigation and producing foundations.
They have sometimes been used in fell
ing trees, but this is not expedient, except
for hasty military operations to deprive
an enemy of cover or to create an OBJ
struction to his advance. They are
effective in removing stumps from fields
and from the channels of rivers. The
gigantic operations of blasting which
have opened lines of communication by
land and by water would probably
never have been undertaken but for the
dicovery of quick explosives. For I'M
lawful uses, to serve the purposes of
! assassination and destruction Of proper
ty, they can be applied only upon a
limited scale and with nearly fruitless
results, as experience has already fully
demonstrated. Attempts in this way,
made on large scale. to force social
changes and overturn Governments,
would require both time and money and
an elaborate plan of operations, which
could not pass without detection and
suppression, unless favored by organ
lzed masses of people sufficient IN NUM-
bers and power to initiate revolution
and war.-Ge7leTdI NeIOtOn, ils North

We believe that the compromise arrived
at last night by the Board of Equaliza-
ton will be acceptable to . very large ma
jority Of the people Of Eureka County. 1t
will appear to everybody that 1t is very
much better 10 have taxes paid on . valu-
alton Of $14. 900 per mile on the Central Pa
ciic roadbed, paid without struggle. than
to undertake . long and doubtful course
Of litigation to enforce the collection Of
taxes on $4,000 more per mile. The case
pro and con was certainly well and sharply
presented before the Board yesterday. It
was very plainly and fully discussed for
their benefit on both sides. It is not nm
likely nevertheless that all the argument
offered on the subject had less weight than
the petition of citizens which represented
something over $2,0O0,0O0 Of taxable
property. Taxpayers who have so large q
proportion Of the burden Of the govern
ment on their shoulders have . right to be
heard and their prayer cannot be consid-
cred lightly. 1t is they who furnish the
greater portion Of the county's revenues
and their voice should be heard when they
ask to advise how those revenues shall be
collected or disbursed. We congratulate
the Commissioners that they did consider
the petition seriously. Although techni-
cally they rejected it. still il was consid-
cred and it had something Of its rightful
influence. OF course, We congratulate the
general taxpayers Of the county, Of which
this institution is ~ sensitive to its load
as any other, that . rich and powerful
corporation gracefully accepts an ASSESS
ment raised from $1,000 to $4,000
per mile on its railroad bed.
We believe that Mr.. Arlington. who was in
favor of &c. 600 at first. but yielded to q
compromise on $4,000. displayed good
judgment and acted for the best interests
Of his constituency. We regard him ss an
entirely upright officer, and we accept his
explanation Of his vote, given elsewhere,
as satisfactory and good. Mr.. Smith cuts

favor of the lowest assessment from the
start. He is entitled TO be heard, how
ever. and we give his attitude elsewhere, as
he defines it for himself. Mr.. Baily re-
ceiyed unmistakable evidence in the
hearty applause Of the large audience who
listened to his lucid remarks on his vote
that his action in the premises meets with
public favor. That he acted conscien-
tiously in insisting OF An assessment Of
$1,000 per mile there is no doubt. He
was opposed to any less assessment because
he believed anything less would not be a
fair and equitable valuation. and not
because he felt any prejudice against the
corporation, or because he thought be
could make buncombe ont Of his official
place. We think this business il ended
well enough all around. The county is ia
be congratulated that it gets an increase Of
revenue and gets it without trouble.
