ALUDIcRoUs SITUATION.
The Practical Joke Played by an Id
iotic Passenger.


Burlington Hawkeye.
On No. 1, going west from this city
few evenings ago was young man who
lives in one of the towns to the west of
this. He had aboard just enough liquor
to make him prankish. The whim seized
him to borrow the coat and hat of the
brakeman, and as he is privileged char
acter on the road, the brakeman humor-
ed his whim. In brakeman's garb he
went through the car calling upon the
passengers in a tone of authority to ex-
hibit their tickets and checks. A gen
tleman sat doing in one end of the seat
facing the stove in one of ike coaches.
A lady who sat in the middle of the car,
and was suffering from cold, came for
ward and sat down in the other end of
the seat. Pretty soon she fell into
doze. Our prankish friend came along,
and as he glanced at the tableau another
whim seized him. Supposing the couple
slumbering so peacefully side by side to
be man and wife, he called out "See
here, partner, this won do this lady's
asleep and you must support her" So
saying, he took the arm of the sleeping
gentleman and placed it about the neck
cf the sleeping lady, and left them in
that position, his voice and action not
having fully aroused them. Shortly
afterward the husband of the lady came
in from the smoking car. What sight
was that for husbands eye! The wife
of his bosom, in whom he had previous
", no doubt, reposed unlimited conf
dence, sleeping as conteutedly as could
be on another mans arm. He took his
wife by the arm and shook her. "Herew
said he 'what kind of business is ths:'
The gentleman in the seat, awakening to
a realization Of the fact that he had been
caught mapping with strange lady rest
ing on his arm, sprang to his feet and
bolted into another car without attempt
ing to make an explanation The lady
started Up in astonishment and confu-
sion. and FASTENED to her former seat.
Her husband followed her and demanded
an explanation and during the remain
der of the evening their fellow -passen-
gers could hear at intervals the voice of
the wife, in low and plaintive tones, re-
hearsing her plea of innocence, but ap-
parently with Indifferent success.
Whether the husband is yet reconciled is
doubtful Who knows but that di-
vorce may be the outcome of this wild
prank of a halfinebriated madcap? The
author of the trouble, who might and
should have smoothed the matter by an
explanation, fled as soon as he saw what
mischief he had wrought.

Our Neutrality in Danger.

n. Y. Times.
1t is said that Mr.. John Roach is an
xious that his new war vessels, the Chi
cago, the Boston, the Atalanta, and the
Dolphin should not be accepted by the
government, for the reason that he wants
to sell them to Russians, after paying
back the money already advanced by the
government during their construction.
The Russians are ready to pay Mr.
Roach very much more money than our
government will pay him, and conse-
quently he prefers to deal with them.
It may seem at first sight as if this
willingness on the part of Mr., Roach to
spare our navy the burden of his new
vessels is an especially fortunate thing
for the United States. If in the place of
these vessels we can build really effec-
tive men-of-war we shall certainly be
the gamers. A little reflection, however,
will show that it would be very bad pol
icy-to say nothing more-for us to in
volve ourselves in a foreign war merely
in order to get rid Of four of Mr.. Roach's
ships. 1t would be far cheaper to buy
them and then promptly break them up
before they could do us any harm.
To whatever extent we may sympa-
thize with either Russia or England, we
have no right, while pretending to be
neutral, to aid either combatant. If war
Were declared we should have no fight
to furnish England with men-of-war or
to assist her in sinking Russian vessels.
To permit the Russians to take possession
of Mr.. Roachs ships, to place crews on
board of them, and TO attempt to tow
them across the Atlantic would be a
gross violation of neutrality. The loss
of those four ship loads of Russian sail
ors would be Of immense service to Eng.
land. and it would Justify Russia in
/ treating us as allies of the English.
OF course, the fact that four alleged
men-of-war were sold to the Russian:
purely as a means of aiding England
would be carefully disguised by Mr.
Roach, but it would be a Transparent
mockery to assure the Russians that tht
vessels could be of any benefit TO them
What earthly use could the Russian gov
ernment make Of steamers that are too
slow to overtake anything, even wher
their machinery does not break down
that have no guns worth mentioning
and that are more or less unseaworthy
When the attempt to tow them to
Russian port, in order to rebuild then
and equip them with new machinery
results in the foundering of the vessel
or their capture by some slow British
cruiser, the Russian government will
sure to claim that Mr.. Roach is an Eng
hsh agent and that he has been heavil
bribed by the English Cabinet to sell hi
The Palatka daily news. (Palatka, Fla.) 1884-1888, 1885-04-24

vessels to Russia. Tt viii be useless for
us, in the face of so much circumstan-
tial evidence. to maintain that our treaty
obligations have not been violated.
Russia has always been friendly to US,
and it would be dishonorable for us to re-
pay this friendship with unprovoked in
jury. What has she done that in the
hour of her distress we should infiict
upon her four of Mr.. Roach's men-of-
war? If we are resolved to take such an
uncalled for course, let us begin by frank
Iy declaring war against Russia, and then
selling her all of Mr.. Roach's marine Gu
riosities that she can be induced to buy.
Other nations, it is true, might charge
us with waging war in monstrous and
inhuman way. but we could not be
charged with hypocrtical violation of
international obligations.

DODGlNG A CYCLONE.
The Exciting Experience of Geor-
gia Captain, Who Saw More
Than He EniOyed,

Interview in Macon Telegraph
I heard noise outside and ran out to
see what it was. l saw at some distance
off a heavy black cloud, funnel-shaped,
and twisted at the bottom like a screw.
Tt seemed whirling with immense rapid
ity and was coming through the woods
like a wild animal. 1t was just awful.
People began to cry out and run around
distracted and | felt very queer. I saw
that big black thing come bouncing
along like great cannon ball and con
cIuded I was about to fly away on it and
be an angel. The cloud did not lie close
to the ground, but bounded up and
down, jumping clear over the tops of
some of the trees and tearing others to
pieces I thought [ would lie down
while. selected spot that was full Of
mud and water. I don't know why I
chose such a place, but maybe it was be-
cause I was in hurry and did not have
time to choose well. 1t was a soft place,
however, and had its attractions at that
moment.
After had got well settled in the mud
I saw that the cyclone was giving me
the go-by. 1t passed about 200 yards to
my left and tore things up terribly.
There was tree there in full view. The
cyclone struck it about forty feet from
the ground, turned the branches and all
around a half a dozen times like light
ming and then snatched the whole upper
portion into kindling wood and carried
it off. 1t was an awe-inspiring sight and
although l am glad | saw it don't want
to see it again-not so close, anyhow.
