Girls in England and France

As rule, the young English girls that
one meets in society have as little to say
as have the French society damsels,
though they are by no means kept under
such severe restraint. 1t has been sug-
gested that the French girls say nothing
because they have nothing to say. They
are very sweet, and simple, and modest
but they lack sparkle and cntrain most
wofully English girls, too, are in gen
eral far less brilliantly educated than
are their American contemporaries.
There is very little serious devotion to
literature or accomplishments. The
amateur singers, for instance, are too
dire and dreadful to be even named in
The same breath with the usual run of
Our girl-musicians. On the other hand,
they have much taste in fancy work,
and English homes are prettily decora-
ted with satin cushions, mantle-piece
draperies, ETC., painted by hand in water
colors or with fine and delicate embroid-
cries, the handiwork of the ladies of the
family. But as to either intellectual or
artistic employment, they are far less
addicted to them than our own young
zhlS' AhCl 4AOO NCu anu are duulCIeQ
to lawn-tenniS and other outdoor games.
and IN the main are a healthy, happy
race, physically superb, but lacking
mental brilliancy and charm. It is per-.
haps for this reason that the married
state IN England differs so widely from
the same Institution in America. There
it is a monarchy, while with us it is
republic. The English husband is an
autocrat, and admits of no discussion
respecting his deciees. The household
and its movements are regulated to suit
his whims and convictions, and his wife
and daughters must shape their actions
accordingly. But there is plenty of
warm mutual love manifested between
matrimony there far more resembles the
same Institution with us than does the
welded state in France. = cleveland

SNOW BLOCKADE.
A Teagh Experience on the Farn1tngton
Branch Of the Maine Central.

The snow blockade On the FarminRton
branch OF the Maine Central Railroad was
broken Monday. Friday at o'clock p m.
the o'clock PASSENGER train passed through
Livermore Falls en- route for Harrington. The
trs1n was made up as follows: Snow pillow,
nsnge digger, engines Nos. %, 60 and 5, pull
ing freight, postal car and passenger car
About one and one.half miles from Liyermore
Falls, at or near Walton's Crossing, the snow
pillow left the track, turned and crossed the
rails again to the right, stopping with the rear
OF the pillow on the track and coming in con-
tact with the haDge digger, raked the whole
train fore and aft, tearing one side of the dig
ger clear off. The men must have jumped to
the other side of the car ~hen it struck TO
have escaped instant death. Engine NJ %,
being ahead OF the other two, received the
force OF the blow and was badly damaged The
side OF the cab was taken off, COW catcher de-
molished, pipes stove off, and large holes
Knocked in the righ-hand corner of the ten

ter, fireman OF No B. He was hurt in the
back, but was able 10 set uD in a chair, and
does not seem to be much injured, The train
was in charge of Conductor George Knapp.
The train men worked all night clearing
the wreck and getting the pillow on the track.
The weather was terribly cold, wind blowing
gale, snow piling up in big drifts and it was
only by great effoit the men could keep from
freezing. Engines No. II and 10 came from
Lewiston, aud the baggage and passenger cars
were hauled back to Lvermore Falls where
the passengers were made as comfort able as
possible. By the help of engines No. II and
10 the disabled machines we're pulled back to
Lvermore Falls about noon, the snow pillow
running off again neav the crossing on Main
stl eet and causing some delay in replacing it
back on the track.

The Eastern and Boston IS Maine Lsass.

The history of the E stern and Boston &
Mains lease has been curious one. Coming
originally frcm the Weeks party, IL was re-.
ceived in decidedly cool manner by the Bos-
ton Il Maine In short time, however, the
Boston & Maine began to look at 1t in favor
able light. Mr.. E. B. Phillips, the then presi.
dent OF the Eastern railroad, saw at once that
enc lease meant that the Eastern, which had
oeeh brought out Of bankruptcy and placed
upon good paying bssis. was to do the work
IN the future, and the Boston 8 Maine was to
receive the profit Of it. His predictions made
1T the time, have been folly verified by subss.
quent developments. Very soon after Presi-
dent Phillips retirement, the Eastern people,
or some of them, discovered that they had
gone too far and were giving the Boston &
Maine the advantage. Col. Jonas Ell French
At this time came TO the front, and organized
the directors into strong army of opponents
Although seemingly defeated several times as
in the last elections of Eastern and Maine
Central directors the opponents OF the lease
today hold the frrt. Mr.. T. G. Weeks is pop
ulsrly supposed TO hold or to be carving an
immt nse block of Eastern stock This suppo-
sltion however, is not snbstantiated by any
evidence on the hooks OF the Company. The
great bulk OF Eastern ia recorded in the
names OF large number of Boston bank off
cers, Who hold 1t as trustees. It would be Ak
tremely difficult TO get possession of an au-
theniic and complete list of the stockhold ers

Minor Notes.
Four hundred tons OF steel rails for the new
Shore Line railroad of Maine, have been or
dered. The Maine Central officials went over

road has been secured by the Laccnia Car
Company, for the construction of five passen-

the best material and in the most thorough
manner possible. Each car will be & fty-ejebt
feet IN length, which is from four to six feet
above the average, and be mounted upon ma
per wheels, each forty-two inches in dismeter.
This size of wheel is from eight to ten inches

easier Than on smaller one, besides making a
