The rains of Monday were more
llezfnless on the Western road than could
have been expected. The onlvf fobstruc-
ton was a partial falling in of the West
erns mouth of Lick Log tunnel. We
reached the West end at about 10 o'clock
when notice was given tnat owing to
the rain tire other end was coming down.
Twenty minutes was given to clearing
up, but the contagion spread, and rock
after rock fell until the working force
was afra;dto enter. The engineer had
plunged through the dark downto Round
Knob for orders. In the mean time
midnight had come and there was con-
dition of semi starvation among large
body of passengers. There were many
Soath Carolinians going home. All of
these retired to the Pullman car, but
many were left who were craving for
the flesh pots of evening, at Round Knob.
in this emergency, came in, as the
Mamma to the Egyptians. a corps of
servitors, most CONSIDERABLY and oppor-
tunely despatched up the dark mountain
paths by Capt. Troy. Probably no more
heart felt gratitude ever went up to any
man, a;id the hot coffee, and the steak
and the ham, and the nice breads were
enjoyed with thankfulness with which
hunger had something to do. but which
owed its zest to the kind consideration
of the landlord of Round Knob.

A Devil to Think.

had it would have been eagerly pur-
chased by it--but to respectable old
lady, who gave the required $500 for the
bird. She kept it for season, but still
it did not talk a single word, and if she
had kept it for hundred years it would
not have by that time uttered anything,
She kept it for about q year. and yei
it had not spoken anything. About this
time she met the man, the famous Orni-
biologist and a former owner of the

That man who lies is a liar admits of
no doubt; but the time was not far dis

10 give expression to the fact, when ap-
piled directly to the individual, with
something of prudent euphonisn in the
choice of the particular form of words
chosen for the occasion. Many delicate
methods Of getting around the difficult

with the strictest demands ds,ofveracity;"
whose practical sympathies with the

on. But we have entered upon an era
