Webster,s Thousand Dollars.

A story is going the rounds OF the
press illustrating the Observation-Disclosures
of Daniel Webster. 1t appears that for
his plea in the famous Florida case, Mr..
Webster received fee of $1,000 He
was deeply engaged in study when his
clients paid him the amount, in 800
bills, ten in all. Mr.. Webster gave a
receipt for the money and resumed his
work. The next day the money could
not be found, although searched for
with great diligence, and it was given
up as lost or stolen.
Years passed away and the incident
had nearly passed from the mind of the
great statesman. One day while en-
gagged in turning over the leaves of a
ertain book, Mr.. Webster found be-
ween two pages 800 bill. On the
next page he found another of the same
denomination, and so on until the
thousand dollars was discovered just
where Mr. Webster absent-mindedly
placed them as he turned the leaves Of
the volume in study.

A Pathetic Incident.
[Chicago Tribune. ]


Brigadier Gen. James r. Herbert, who
has just died in Baltimore, was a man
whose brave and honorable life had en-
deared him to all the people of the state
of Maryland. His record as a Confed-
crate soldier, and during the great rail
road riots of 1877, is spotless. Con-
oerning him, Col. Winfield S. Peters
tells pathetic incident; ''It was when
we were at First Manassas, said he. cit
was during lull in the fighting, and we
were resting on the field. The day was
a terribly hot one, and some of our men
were engaged in giving water to wounded
Federals who lay around. Sitting up
against tree not far off was the cap
tain of New York company, terribly
wounded and dying. He asked to see
a Confederate officer Herbert went to
him. He told Herbert that he knew he
was dying, and asked him if he would
take his valuables and message to his
wife. The dying officer gave him his
watch, money and valuables, and said:
If you survive want you to give them
to my wife when the war is over. Her
bert carried the trinkets all through the
war until he met-with his terrible wound
at Gettysburg. He was taken to the
hospital, and there he found the wife of
the officer whom he saw dying at Ma
nassas and gave her the trinkets, and
the dying message. She constantly at
tended Gen. Herbert until his recovery. I"

asked him to have the cover taken off

this was done and Barry handed him the
precious stone. When he got to this

THE PROBLEM SOLVED,
How Railways May Pass Each other
on the Same Track.


[Scientific Americana
The New York Mail and Express de-
scribes a new railway Improvement
which certainly has the merit of novelty.
1t is believed to be the invention of
Maj. Bundy, the editor of the above
journal, Notwithstanding he credits its
authorship to a citizen of Connecticut.
The frequent attempts of railway trains
to pass each other on the same track
have been attended so. uniformly with
disastrous consequences, that it has be-
come to be the general belief that the
feat is impossible, and that engineers
will do well to desist from further ef-
forts to accomplish it. Te the ordinary
mind it seems inevitable that if two
trains approach each other on the same
track, and do not slacken their speed,
collision must ensue. But there is a
man in Connecticut whose mind is not
ordinary. Of course, we do not mean
by such a statement to insinuate that
the Nutmeg state possesses only one
man gifted with ordinary endowments.
The woods there are full of them, but
so far as heard from, there is only ono
who has exercised his genius in solving
the problem of how to enable two trains
to pass on the same track without col
lision.
The plan of this ingenious person is
very simple, as all really great plans and
ideas are. He proposes to place on the
front of every locomotive going in one
direction a long inclined plane, upon
which are two rails. These come close
to the track at the forward end of the
plane. and at the hinder end are con,
nected with other rails that run along
the tops of the cars, and down to the
main track again on the other inclined
plane in the rear. When the train pro-
vided with this attachment meets an
other on the same track, the latter sim
ply goes over the former, its weight
making the connection of the front of
the inclined plane and the rails of the
main track perfect, and acting at the
same time as brake on the speed of the
train underneath.
If this invention had been made a
few years sooner, the number of double
track roads in the country would not
now be half as great as it is. A single
track, with occasional switches for heavy
freight trains, Maj. Bundy says, would
answer all purposes, and the cost o!
constructing railroads would be de-
creased 25 per cent. The system will,
of course, be adopted Immediately on ali
single track roads, and within few
years the sensation of riding over or un-
der another moving train will be so COM
mon as to pass almost unnoticed. This
is a great country.

MILITARY BERLIN.
a Hord-Working Lot Of Mer-Splen.
did Discipline.

ASADOARAAhOs
[Blackwood's Magazine1
One certainly sees more soldiers in
the streets of Berlin. than in those Of
London and Paris; bdt.one does not see
many OF them, and they form altogether
but small minority Of the people one
meets when walking about Berlin. And
that is easy to explain; soldiers do not
play at soldering here as French school
boys have done lattefly. Fighting is
considered by the Germans business,
or trade, or an art-as you may like
to call it-which is to be learned Sc
rlously, and which keeps the young men,
VINO are nolens volens devoted to it,
ourlng almost the whole day in their
quarters or on the parade ground. As
TO the officers, they are nearly as much
taken up by their work as the most hard
working official, mercantile clerk or arti-
san.
The lieutenant of the guards, who has
nothing to do but to show his fine uni
form In the streets, exists only in the
imagination of people who have never
seen him. That aristocratic young gen.
tleman begins his work at o'clock in
the morning in summer, at 8 in the win
ter, and is tired out when or 6 o'clock
in the evening he has at last got through
it. 1t is not he, certainly, who crowds
the streets of Berlin. He has other
things to do than to walk about even
when he happens to be on leave There
is, however, something military to be
seen on the streets of Berlin at nearly
every hour of the day, which may have
struck the Partisan newspaper writer,
though it does not belong exclusively to
Berlin, but all the large German towns
where soldiers are garrisoned. Every
now and then, especially about noon,
you will meet small detachments of SOL
diers-four, six, perhaps ten or twenty
men-marching from the guard house
to relieve the soldiers on duty at the
palaces of members of the imperial
family, the residences of commanding
officers and certain public buildings,
such as the ministry of war, the statf's
office, the arsenal, etc. These soldiers,
preceded by a sergeant, walk in the
middle of the street, with long, regular,
quiet steps, almost leisurely.
Suddenly sharp word of command
is heard. An officer or an imperial car
riage is in sight. The men all at once
seem to have been struck with a gal
vanic battery, and from that instant
to move under some strange and ire
sistible influence. With kind of spas
modic jerk they straighten themselves
up to their full height, their heads and
shoulders are thrown back, their eyes
are fixed on one and the same point
the passing officer; the rife is held in a
firm grasp by the powerful hand, and
the feet violently thrown forward as by
machinery, produce, as they tread the
hard pavement at short, regular inter
walls loud and yet muffled sound, fa-
miliar to the native of Berlin, and
which causes him to look round toward
those from whom it proceeds.
