ANEcDorE OF soJoURsrn TRUTH

ANRCD0TE or sOJOURNER TRUTH.
Some years ago, wien Mrs. Child was
presiding OF an anti-slavery meeting at
which the African "sibyl" was present,
clergyman asked permission to speak.
1t being granted, he mounted the plat
form and poured forth the following
TRADE: "I am an orthodox minister Of
the gospel. came here this afteI-
noon to hear some of the eloquence and
wit which l understand were so abun-
dant at these meetings but, instead Of
that, ! have thus far listened to little
but insults heapeG upon the clergy. II
is the first time 1 ever thrust my pres.
ence among you; it will be the last. ]
can find better use for my leisure hours
than attendance upon gatherings where
the only speakers are women and jack
asses" He paused. There was dead
silence for a moment through the hall.
Then Soiourner Truth suddenly arose
from one Of the rear seats, and addressed
the chair "The gentleman tells us he is
minister Of the gospel" she said, "and
SO he probably knows what's in the
scripture. There was another minister,
long time ago, named Balaam. He got
mighty mad, too, atan ass thatspoke. But,
Missus Chairman, I'd like to remind the
gentleman that it was the ass, and not
the minister, that saw the angel"

SHOOTING WHALES.

The "modern improvements " In the
whale fishery are as remarkable as in
other Industries, though not so generally
known. One Of the most noteworthy Of
these is the iavehn-bomb, an account Of
which Mr.. Voy, Of San Francisco, has
lately sent to La Nature. 1t consists Of
metallic cylinder terminated by a
cylindrical bomb, at the end Of which is
rod with very sharp, barbed point.
This projectile is sent off by means Of a
kind of arquebus rested on thin verti-
cal support, and on the shoulder Of the
man who fires. At the moment Of fir
ing, small screen rises automatically
Ito protect che mans person), and the
proiectile goes of. The latter is attached
behind to cord which it draws out
with it. II the shot be good one, the
proiectile enters the body of the whale,
and the she'll then explodes, causing q
piece of iron to open out, so as to form
kind of double hook, by which the
whale is, held. The proiectile is gener-
ally fired from rowing boat. The in
strument is powerful one. In some
instances the proiectile could be driven
eighty meters, in which case it and the
cord drawn out would weigh not less than
100 Kilograms. MIR. yoy describes a
striking incident in which large, yell
low-bellied whale "a kind very rarely at
tackled on account Of its tremendous
vigor) was shot at from a small fve-ton
steamer when quite near. The project
lie went right through part of the body
and exploded beyond. The whale was
attached, however, by the cord, and it
dragged the steamer four consecutive
hours, at speed sometimes of sixteen
kilometers an hour, though the engine
was reversed. Sunset came, and, the
whale being still lively, the cord was
cut.

DEATH TO DUDES.

A practical test of Joe Mulbattan'
Dude Annihilator was at Macauley'
Theater last night. AS usual, tn
dudes posted themselves along tlit
walls Of tlse. veaiDulc to stare the au-
dience ous "a countenancc as they
emerged from the thcatcr. Abour
Fthat time Eugene Elrod, the well
known fire plug, placed small quan
ity of dynamite in the annihilatol
and touched secret spring. There
was flash, a loud report. and the air
was filed with a mangled mass Of
dudes, who were completely pull
vcrized and floated on into space be-
yond the earth's attraction, probably
to form the tail of 2 comet, or some
thing of that sort. The test was en-
tirely satisfactory. Not dude es-

ADVANTAGES or ELECTRI0 RAIL
WAYS.

ADV.ANxAGES OF ELECTRIC BAIL.
lf WAYS.
In an extended account OF the con.
struction and working OF the Siemens
electric railway at Berlin the London
Times mentions, as first among the ad-
vantages which the electric motor has
over steam or compressed airfor passen-
ger transport, the circumstance that no
heavy machinery has to be carried about
to set the train in motion. The carriages
can, therefore, be built in a lighter
maaner, thus reducing the power neces-
sary to move them, and permitting all
bridges and other superstructures to be
built more cheaply than usual. Several
carriages, each with dynamo MACHINE,
can be joined to one train, and by this
distribution, of amotive power much
sleeper inclines can be overcome than
when the same train is drawn bya single
locomotive. In addition to the ordinary
brakes, means can be provided to short
circuit the machines on the carriages,
and to cause them to act as very power
full brakes. The use of large stationary
engines reduces the amount of fuel
necessary to develop certain power on
the travelling carriage, and if waterfalls
can be utilized the cost of working these
railways can be further diminished. II
seems probable that such railways can
be usefully and economically construct
cd to facilitate the traffic in crowded
streets, or in situations where local cir
cumstances favor their application.
From all that has been done during the
last few years, it is evident that the art
Of transmitting power by electricity has
advanced rapidly, and that its practical
is continually gaining
ground.

AFRAID OF HOLMAN.

Hon. William S. Holman appears
to be getting boom for the Demo-
cratA nomination for Governor of
Indiana. 1t is not good sense nor
good policy to underrate the strength
of the opposition. Holman is one of
the strongest men in the State
amongst the people. His political
record is as nearly invulnerable as
any mans. Those papers who are
endeavoring to belittle him are
wasting their times Should he be
nominated, our verg.strongestrepub-
lican will'be required to defeat him.
If lie is a demagogue, as SOME people
charge, he is one of the smartest ones
in the Union.-Eyansville Journal.

PAINFUL MeDEsTY.

Girl, never marry a fine looking
man. Our wife did that, and she
has since often said that If she had
the marryin' act to do over again
she'd marry fellow who wasn't so
"purty," and one who would have
more sense than the one she's now
got, and who wouldn't be trying to
mash every woman he sees,-Geo.

INJURIoUs EFFECrS or rOBAOo

INJURIOUS EFFECTS or TOBAOOO.
An intermittence Of the beating of
heart and pulse is one of the results Of
tobacco smoking. 1t is enough, in GER
tain cases, to suspend or ut least reduce
the use of tobacco in smoking to see the
irregularity in the functions Of the heart
disappear entirely or diminish. Young
people who smoke show generally q
sluggishness of intelligence and strong
or less-pronounced taste for strong
drinks. In very young persons who
cease to smoke and who are not affected
by any organic lesion, the disorders of
the economy which have just been men
toned disappear, often very quickly and
almost always without leaving any trace.

WILL IT DE THE LAST?

Owing to the lack of vitality and
brain powder. to invent new place
the Republican, party holds its ma
tional convention at Chicago again.
The only dignity or interest attach
ing to the occasion is derived from
the solemn thought that it will prob
ably be the last national Republican
convention held in the United States.

ms ENEMY SINGS HIS PRAISES.

1t is but just to Mr.. Carlisle to say
that since his election as Speaker he
has shown remarkable Judgment and
good sense. His speech on taking
the chair was of itself model of dis
erection and wisdom, and his subse-
quent course seems to have been di-
rceted by the same strong and dis
criminating intelligence. His deter
mnation to place Mr.. Randall at the
head of the Committee on Appropria-
tons shows his independence of pro-
yincial influences and his purpose to
harmonic, if possible, a party which
has been torn asundor by his elec-
tion,-Louisyille

Mrs. John Drew is quoted as saying
that on the stage "people are very well
paid and very careful of what they do,
and none of those marvelously funny,
queer things happen that happened
forty OF fifty years ago, There is,
think, rather less genius on the stage,
but there is more good conduct. Those
men who used TO be very funny and very
erratic-who used to get intoxicated here
and get intoxicated there, and Of whom
people thought how clever they would
he if they did not scarcely any
body of that character is on the stage at
il now"
