"Would Were Boy Again. +"

Old Mr.. Wardles was watching the
boys coasting on one OF the streets, and
as the cutters were tearing down at the
rate of thirty miles an hour his memo
ry travelled back forty years, and he
impulsively remarked to young man
that he would ''give $40, 200 if he were
boy again. A juvenile with a red
sled and red nose heard the remark,
and aekcd MIR. w ordlss Is ho diIiu' &
want TO ride down. Wardles said he
believed he would try one trip. He
weighs 200 pounds, and when he GOT
on the clipper its joints creaked omi-
nously and his eyes sparkled with fun
The boys gave him good send-off, and
pretty soon the sled Veered sideways,
there was a crash. and Wardles went
end over end for about twenty yards,
and then a double-clipper, containing
six boys, struck him amidships and
turned him over some more in most
ridiculous and painful manner, and
just as he regained his feet another
jumper dashed into his legs, and he sat
down on his head so emphaticallv that
the top of his boot legs protruded above
the margin of his shirt collar. He re-
turned home with 81 broken rib, q
sprained ankle, his coat split from Dan
to Beersheba, handful of bark peeled
off his head, AID al the fun banished
from his eyes. He will be nearly as
good as new in about six weeks, but he
says he would rather be 1900 years old
than to be boy again. n.-N0rraSt0a0n

An Awful Scene.

An eye witness to the great disaster
on the Bradford, BordeQ and Kenzua
Railroad, says: lit was the grandest
and yet the most awful scene that hu-
man eyes ever witnessed. For a dis
tances of nearly half mile the road
bed was covered with oil and paints.
1t was over the rails, and the moment
the gas came in contact with the fire.
box it exploded and fired the oil. In
less than one minute the engine and
cars were enveloped in flames, great
black pillars of 1oke ascended heav-
enward; the driving wheels of the en-
gine went dashing along at the rate of
forty miles an hour, scattered the oil
over everything with rush and roar
which might have been heard for a
mile. The flames leaped fully 250 feet
ahead of the locomotive, which was
thus compelled to run through veri-
table sea of fire. 1t was a terrible race.
and the only parallel l can remember
is the oil train which burned up near
Brocton, N. Y, few years ago. How
the engineer, train hands and the men,
women and children escaped is some
thing that only Providence can explain.
1t was sight to make the strongest
heart shudder. never want to see its
like again.

HEY, RUBE !!
Who was he?

Who was he?
Only circus performers leaper
who was accustomed to doing flying
trapeze acts and leaping from a spring
board amid the plaudits of the specta-
tors, who enjoyed it all the more that
it was just possible he might miss and
dash himself to fragments at their feet.
The doctor at the hospital was ac-
customed to dying men, accustomed to
sorrowful heart histories, to sad, sad
scenes of parting and death. But he
had nothing to do with them. He was
there to learn something of interest to
science; to study the laws of anatomy;
to reduce fracture successfully or kill
fever. He looked into dying eyes,
not to read the secrets there held, of
life that had passed, but to observe how
coma affected them, and interpret the
value of bromides and morphine. This
hospital doctor would have done the
same thing but for one of those strange
links in the chain of life which demand
a conservation of interests whether we
will or no. He had gone one day last
summer to the circus and taken his two
little boys; they had been delighted
with the double treat that of being
with papa and of seeing the glory of
wonderland. One little fellow had gone
wild over the gymnast and leaper, the
man who shot into the air, came down
on his feet, turned somersault, kissed
his tinger-tips to the spectators and
sped on feet of air from the ring.
Now, there was something strange
in the fact that when one of the little
fellows died-as he did suddenly and
Unexpectedly as children go-he in dy-
ing talked only of this man. And it
was strange that The doctor saw moth
ing of interest in his patient until his
other boy going the rounds with him
pulled at l'is coat and whispered:
Its Berries circus man, papa; the
one that jumped over all the horses and
into the air, and went over and over.
Oh, papa! won't you mend him up?"
But the poor fellow was past mend
ing. and the doctor knew it. He had
made misstep, and falling, struck on
his head and shoulders, and they had
picked him up and carried him out and
he had lain here ever since. His COM
rades had left him, with many hand
shake and sympathetic tear, and gone
on their way without him, and he did
not care. What was there of life left
for him anyway?
When the doctor knew who the man
was he thought of his dead boy, and
at once began the task of making death
easy to him. That was all he could do,
just smooth with kindness that sure de-
scent which we must all tread.
The day which would have no to-
morrow came at last to the sick man,
and all the morning he lay sleeping
and doing. and at night he was dying;
his cheeks were red with fever heat;
he was in delirium and imagined
himself in the circus, listening to the
plaudits of the crowds. The doctors
anesthetics were as powerless as water.
The last fitful fiashings of escaping life
were superhumanly bright Over and
over again he repeated the name of
Lulu.
''Who is Lulup" asked the doctor,
with hope of releasing the troubled
spirit from dwelling on the past.
IAN angel" said the dying man

Colonel Z. G. COOPER has told the
Denver NecS of hairbreadth escape
he had from death in the jaws of q
Colorado mountain lion. He was skat-
ing on a lake near his gold mine, and
the lion sprang for him. There was q
chase for some miles, the Colonel oc-
casionally getting the best OF the lion
by making a sudden curve. At length
one skate began to loosen, and he felt
that the supreme moment was at hand
He had heard that music might soothe
brute, and he began to sing; but this
enraged the lion. and, bethinking him
self of a rival newspaper he had in his
pocket, he drew il forth and read the

Marriages in New Caledonia.

When it has been decided, after due
inquiry, that couple-say A and B.
may unite in marriage, it IS sought to
excite in each of the parties an interest
in each other A is told all about the
past life of b, and vice-versa; they are
also shown each others photographs.
Then, if the parties do not object to
meet, an appointment is made; and
they generally see each other in the
parlor of the female prison in presence
of the matron. AS to this, however,
the manner of interviews varies; for
the matron and chaplains may arrange
matters as they please, so that every
thing be done with propriety. The in
tended bridegroom is always in posses
sion of cottage and a plot of land,
for he can not marry until it is proved
that he can maintain himself out of the
produce of his holding, eked out by the
wages he may receive as laborer on
public works. Naturally he is not COM
PEELED to take the bride whom the au-
thorities have designated for him. If
she plesses him at first sight, he gen.
orally sees her two or three times more
before a regular engagement is made.
bAC gOSS W SlS1I LID III SOlh-
pany with nun, or some employment
is given her out of doors in laundry or
dairy, where she may be seen in COM
parative freedom. When at last the
engagement is concluded. the intended
bride goes and spends few days at
the Convent of Our Lady of Mercy,
held by the Augustine nuns; and it is
there that the marriage takes place with
the smallest amount of publicity pos
sible. If the parties cannot afford to
buy gold wedding-ring, silver one
is provided for them. After the mar
riage the convict couple become pro-
bationary free colonists under certain
conditions; they must dress in brown;
they must not enter any establishment
where intoxicating liquors are sold;
and they must not leave their cottage
after nightfall without a written per-
nit. These and other restrictions are
gradually removed in reward for good
conduct, till at last the libere condi-
tional becomes free settler and pro-
prietor of his piece of land.

"Just Like Mother"

The wind was blowing regular
gale, large snow-fakes were borne
along, helpless in their lightness, and
lodged here and there only to be again
picked up by the wind and piled to-
gether in great drifts 1t was bitter
cold, and pedestrians hurried along the
street, intent, seemingly, only to reach
the tireside of home and family.
In 8 stairway on Wisconsin street
little ragged fellow, with bundle of
papers under his arm, had crawled ont
of the storm. but not out of the cold.
Crouching in a heap upon the steps,
teeth chattering, too cold to call out his
papers for sale, he tried to get warm.
His skeleton arms, his pinched features,
told, only too plainly, that he was
child OF misfortune. Poverty, thou
wouldst not be so cruel, were it not
that the world looks upon thee as
culprit, and to be in thy company a
crime.
No one observed the little fellow as
he sat there in the cold. Pres
emily an old lady, warmly, but not
richly clad, came along, and chanced
to see him. She turned into the stair
way, but the boy, used, evidently, TO
cuffs and kicks, tried to escape her. A
reassuring smile on ner face and a
kind word from her lips, held the lad.
She, dear old soul, knelt down, pinned
up his tatters, tied a scarf about his
neck, gave him piece of silver, and
with parting words of cheer started to
leave him. Turning again, she clasped
the boy to her bosom, kissed him, and
then went on her way. The bov, with
tears on his cheeks, looked after her,
as she passed down Wisconsin street,
and said THAT is just the way mother
used to kiss me before she died. | won
der if it is her againPn Then, as if a
new impulse and new life had been
born in him, the little newsboy started
to dispose of his stock in trade. That
act of kindness, that kiss, so much like
mothers, in charity given, so warmed
his heart that the cold winds of winter
had no terrors for him And who
knows but what that old lady's kind
ness to that ragged, forlorn newsboy
will be the turning point in that boys
life that, will, in the future, give to the
world man of honor, and man of
whom Milwaukee may well be proud.
There are hundreds of boys all over
this great country who are going to the
bad just for the want of n kind word or
act, like that given by this kind-hearted
old German woman. Kind words and
acts, with few dimes, will do much
to reform the world, and reclaim those
who are, by force of circumstances, go
ing TO the WroDg.-Pec6'S SIN.

Robert Harris. the new president of
the Northern Pacific Railroad, IS one
of the ablest railroad men in this coun-
try. He first made his mark upon the
Chicago, Burlington and Quincy as
manager OF that property, and man
of quick insight and penetration Of the
problems of railroad management. He
was thence taken to be vice-president
OF the Erie Railroad. As director of
the Northern Pacific, he accompanied
Mr.. Willard upon the grand excursion
last September to drive the last spike.
In personal appearance he is in strong
contrast to Mr.. Willard, who is stout,
well proportioned, and placid in de-
meanor, with trifie of German phlegm
in his bearing. Harris is tall Yankee
OF the Lincoln type, with black beard,

hair, keyed up TO the highest pitch of
nervous intensity, and putting chain

is telling stories and having good
time or running railroads.
