An Engineers Story.
lErom the Chicago Herald !,


I'm always dreading going to sleep,
and I suppose it's that constant fear
that has so disciplined my mind that
l no sooner lose consciousness than I
give sort of muscular jump and am
aroused in o jiffy. Talking about how
long it takes u man to dream, now-I
want to tell you something: / was run
ming No 4. into Chicago one morn ing,
when l had been on duty eighteen hours
and hadn't had any sleep for twenty-six.
just as we passed the little station at
Utica, between Ottawa and LaSalle-
you know, No. 4 doesn't stop there
I dropped asleep. Then I had dream
"a great long one about en- accident.
A train order was mixed up in it, and, as
it wasn't quite clear, remember how I
studied over the words, it seemed to
me, for ten or fifteen minutes. Then 1
dreamed there was collision; we struck
and it threw me up in the air thirty or
forty feet clear Of the engine. I mind
how I felt up there, and 1 wondered
where I'd land and if any OF the pas
sengers were killed. Itwasn'ta pleasant
sensation, either, you can imagine.
Then it seemed come down, and
straight enough, landed on my seat,
with my left hand on the throttle. AT
that very instant I awoke, and it seemed
30 real that for an instant I ccnld hardly
realize there hadn't been any collision
and I hadn't been up in the air. Well
that dream was full of details, and a
good deal OF time seemed to elapse be-

TIE DYNAMITE GIN.

The government officers at Fort Ham,

ing the deck Of ship like the British
Thunderer would destroy the vessel,
It is q fact, however, that the action Of
dynamite is downward, and Col. Hamil-
ton may be mistaken as to the destruc.
tiveness OF the dynamite cartridge of the
new gun. It will be easy to determine.
the force of his objection by exploding
100 pounds OF dynamite on the surface
of o plate OF ironstwo feet thick. There
is much skepticism on the part Of the;
public as to the possibility Of firing a
dynamite cartridge, even with com.
pressed air substituted for gunpowder as
. propelling force, without any instan-
taneous explosion Of the cartridge, but
the inventor declares that the gun at
Fort Hamilton will accomplish it. Blank
cartridges have been used in the expert
ments. As to the accuracy Of the gun
there, can be no doubt, and it may be'ex-
pected to send 8 missile against ship
at . distance of two and perhaps three
miles, almost unerringly. II it will hur

olution in warfare.

Most Desolate Part Of the Ocean.
!, lFrGm the phIladelphia Record,

From the Philadelphia Record)
The schooner Charles E. Moody,
Capt. Gates, arrived at Almond Street
wharf yesterday from the islands of
d'Acunha, situated III the South Attain
tic ocean, in the most desolate SPOT in
the world. She stopped at Martinique
to get a cargo of sugar. The Moody
was chartered by New York parties to 20
to these islands to secure cargo Of
guano. The vessel was compelled to
abandon the enterprise, owing to her in
ability to make landing, there being
no harbors on the coast. Capt. Gates,
on January 10, visited in small boat
both Tristan d'Acunha and Nightingale
Island. Nightingale is uninhabited.
The other island has ninety-seven in
habitants, descendants of shipwrecked
sailors. All were enjoying good health,
and the majority of the population were
women, who are described as being very
tall and handsome. They seemed sharp
at trading, but were without education
and very indolent and lazy. The cap.
tain also describes lake of fresh water
which was situated on the top of o noun
tain 8, 900 feet above the surface of the
sea, and in which the tide ebbed and
flowed. No merchant vessel has ever
been known to visit the islands, and
there are NOT probably ten men in this
country who have ever been there. After
securing laborers an attempt was made
to explore Nightingale Island, which
was found rich with guano, covered with
eggs and thronged with penguins.
Egorts to obtain q dead.and. alive cargo
we're futile, owing to the impossibility
Of finding a safe anchorage. The gov
ernor OF head man of Tristan d. Acunha
said that valuable dog had escaped
from b. M. B. surveying ship Challan-
ger, eleven years ago. It was searched
for, found and taken on board the
Moody, but died on the passage to Mar
Unique. The islands visited are stu
ated IN lat. 81. 6, long. 12. OF. are claimed
by the English, and British garrison
was Mt one time maintained there
United States vessels never visit the
locality.

A Second Husband Draws the Line.
tFrom the Portland oregonian. .


On the 22d of December last Radolph
Busbsck, employed in the iron mine at
Oswego, was killed by the accidental
upsetting of car. His widow received
$500 on an accident policy, out of which
sum she determined to pay for
stone to be placed at her husbands
grave, on which should be recorded
just tribute to his memory. Three
months from the day Burbeck was
killed, to wit, on the I'D Of March, she
was united in the bonds of holy wedlock
to one Myers, and both looked forward
to years Of connubial felicity. The
next day they were welded the stone for
Burbeck's grave arrived, and Mrs.
Myers asked her new husband ii he
would kindly have it taken to the grave
yard where lay the remains ofhis prede.
cessor. Mr.. Myers consented, and
provided pair of oxen and q sled, the
common means of transportation in
that locality, to remove the marble slab
to its destination. Next day Mrs. N.Y.
ers asked her husband if he would be SO
good as to place the stone in position.
This was more of strain than his af.
fection could bear. He informed her
that he was ready tofulfll all the duties
reasonably required of husband, but he
drew the line at planting stone at the
grave of his predecessor. This pro-
duced q GOODNESS between the pair which
withered the tender flower of their
young love, and the next day Mr.. Ny
ers left for the salmon fishing grounds at
Astoria, expressing his intention of talk
ing the next steamer at the end OF the
fishing season and going far away.

here. The fire originated in the drying
room above the boiler and was discov-
cred by the watchman while lighting
the fire under the boiler about o'clock
this morning. The spread OF
the flames was rapid and the spectacle
was one Of remarkable brllliancy, as the

the jury assessed his punishment ut two
years in the penitentiary. McChesney

up in all the police and gambling sean

culiar influence through his dark
practices. He was indicted at the time
Of the police gambling imbroglio, for
attempted bribery and for fraud. The
trial on the bribery charge resulted in a
hung jury. His conviction to-day was
q matter Of surprise, as it was believed
almost impossible that he could be con-

without stopping.
4. Never stop running because there
is man with club apparently chasing

him.
5. If this does not accelerate the
action OF the heart, climb the nearest

6. Do not get down for the purpose

This is one of the dogs perquisites, and

Z. When mosquito begins to bite do
not slap him. Some authorities insist
that you should let him finish and then
