A HUMBLE HERO.


The quaintest class of people in the West
are the railroad men. Not the millionaire
monopolists of Wall street, who manipulate
stock boards and mortgages, but the hard
worked poorly paid aud big hearted men
who drive our Western locomotives, feed the
roaring fires and risk their necks limbs aud
lives in clambering up and down, between
and over the cars. A short time since
found myself at little railroad restaurant,
at Union, Ind. | was on my way TO ill a
lecture appointment in Southern Ohio. lt
was about o'clock in the morning, and
had 20 wait about three hours for the east
bound train. While comfortably toasting
my feet upon the great stove, in which a,
fierce, soft-coa fire was burning, an engineer
and his fireman entered the room, with black
hands and smut ty faces. They seated them
selves on high stools at the lunch counter
and, calling for pie and coffee began char
acteristic conversation relative 20 their &C.
cupaton in life. Their doll humor is i'm
possible for me to perfectly describe. At last
the old engineer, rubbing the end of his nose
with the back of his hand, while his fingers
Rrasped the half of plump pumpkin pie,
and holding i'm his other hand q steaning cup
of coffee, which he occasionally blew upon TO
cool it, with a peculiar Western drawl and
deep tone of voice, related the following in

as being one of the grandest recitals had
ever listened to. give his words as nearly
as possible, only transposng and changing
them sufficiently for versiiication. | had

Animated Frozen Fish.

The American AHqlor youches for the
following fish story; A fish dealer in
Salineville, Ohio, received a box Of
frozen fish from Cleveland, during one
of the recent billiards They were so
hard and brittle that they had to be
handled with great care 10 keep them
from breaking 10 pieces He sold one
to an old lady who took it home and put
it in a bucket of cold water to thaw out
gradually. During the night she heard
something splashmg around in the
kitchen Supposing it was the cat trying
to get the fish, she jumped out of bed,
seized the broom and rushed to the scene.
Shefound the fish Topping in the pan. As
near as could be learned this fish had
lain out in the cold two nights before
being packed, and had been out of the
water for more than two weeks.

A Queer Character.

Mangin, the celebrated black lead
pencil maker of Paris, is dead. He drove
every day in an open carriage, attended
by servant, to his stands either by the
Place Vendome or on the Place de la
Bourse. His servant handed him case,
from which he took large portraits of
himself and medals with descriptions of
his pencils, which he hung on either side
of him. He then replaced his round hat
with a magnificent FURNISHED helmet,
mounted with brilliant plumes. For his
oyercoat he donned a costly velvet tunic
with gold fringes. He then drew up
pair of polished steel gauntlets upon his
hands, covered his breast with brilliant
cuiraSs, and placed richly-mounted
sword at his side. His servant then put
on velvet robe and helmet, and struck
up a tune on an organ mounted in gold.
To the crhwds gathered around he then
exclaimed: IL am Mangin, the great
charatan of Franoe' Years ago hired
a modest shop in the Rue Rivoli, but
could not sell pencils enough to pay my
rent. Now, attracted by my sweeping
crest, my waving plumes, my din and
glitter, sell millions of pencils This
was true. His pencilswere the very best.

The ORIaIR ON CANNING. is @
singular fact that we are indebted to
Pompeii for the great industry OF
canned fruits. Years ago, when the
excavations where just beginning, a
party of Cincinuatians found in what
had been a house many jars oil
preserved figs. One was opened and
they proved to be fresh and good.
Investigation showed that the figs
had been put into jars in q heated
state, an aperture left for the steam
to escape, and then sealed with wax.
The hint was taken and the next year
fruit canning was introduced in
the United States, the process being
identical with that in vogue in
Pompeii twenty centuries ago. Tie
