The Real and Unreal.

From Letters OF Dolly Madison
tall, slight girl of 10, with deli.
catchy oval face and welcomed, il
not perfect, features, a complexion
dazzling fair, contrasted with very
black hair and blue eyes that gazed at
you with much sweetness, beneath the
modest little Quaker cap. Who knows
what ideal the girl may have had, and
why it was that, when the cookbook
ing John TODD, a promising young
lawyer OF means, and a member ofthe
Society of Friends, proposed to her:
the answer was THAI She "never meant
to marry. Children at that time,
however, were taught to obey their
parents unquestioningly, and when
Dolly was sent for, to the bedside of her
father, and told that he wished her
much to become the wife of John Todd,
a young man who had shown him
kindness in his trouble, and of whom
he had the highest opinion, that there
was nothing for it but to obey, which
she did with the best possible grace,
and was amply rewarded by seeing
her father tranquil and happy during
the few remaining months of his life,
and by the devotion of a husband
who made the three short years of
their married life all that could be
wished. Still young, only %, very
rich and very attractive, it is only
natural that in the course of time she
1.-THE Widow Todd) should have many
admirers; and one of her friends,
bridesmaid, at her wedding said that
gentleman would station themselves
where they could see her pass" and
sometimes she had demonstrated with
her, laughingly. Really, Dolly, thou
must hide thy face, there are so many
staring at thee" 1t was during one
of these walks that Mr. Madison saw
Mrs. Todd for the first time, and was
so struck with her appearance that he
did not rest until he had an introduce
ton to her.
A report soon got about of their en-
gagement; such unwonted attentions

and rumor was as active in those days
as now.
1t reached the presidential mansion
where General and Mrs. Washington
were much interested; and impatient
to hear the truth, sent for Mrs. Todd,
who, all unconscious, obeyed the sum-
mons at once.
dolly" said Mrs. Washington, us
it true that you are engaged to James
Madison?" The fair widow, taken
aback, answered stammeriEgly, mo-"
she Thought not" "If it is So" Mrs.
Washington continued, "do not be
ashamed to confess it; rather be
proud; he will make thee good hus-
band, and all the better for being so
much older. We both approve it; the
esteem and friendship existing bet ween
Mr.. Madison and my husband is very
great, and we should wish thee to be
happy" And thus the rumor grew
to be an established fact, and in Sep,
TENDER, 1874, Mrs. Todd left Philadel-
phia to drive to Hardwood, her SIS
ter's place in Virginia, where the wed
ding was to take place.

ashamed of myself. I'll never play
such part again. What does hecare
for me?"
Then the widow sharply: you're
an ungrateful creature, and if you
never get married, shan't exert my
self any more. 1t was your own sug-
gestion to hurt your foot"

"Will you hush. then, you good-for-

THE FIRE OF HOME.

hear them tell OF faro chimes,
And treasures grand they hold
OF minister walls. where stained light falls
On canvas, rare and old.
My hands fal down, my breath comes
fast
But ali, how can / roam?
My task know, to spin and sew,
And light the fire of home.
Sometimes hear of noble deeds,
OF words that move mankind;
OF willing hands that to other lands
Bring light to the poor and blind;
dare not preach, l cannot write,
fear to cross the foam,
Who, ii | go, will spin and sew,
And light the fire at home?
My husband comes, as the shadows fall,
From the fields with my girl and boy,
His loving kiss brings with it bliss
That hath no base alloy.
From the new-plowed meadow, fresh and
brown,
l catch the scent of the loan;
Heart, do not fret, tbs something yet
no light the fire at home"

ALesson Lost.

From the Chicago Herald.
H. M THoxie of the Missouri Pacific
Railway, is noted in railway circles
for bis proneness to give his interiors
good, sound lectures on the slightest
provocation. Hoxie is a hard worker
xand all who have seen him know how
I round-shouldered he is. One day a
brakeman called on him with a letter
request for pass in his pocket, leav,
ing the door wide open as he entered
the Office, and wearing his hat on his
head in true brakeman style. In a
loud voice he called out:
as Hoxie in?"
At this the general manager looked
up from his desk and replied:
eyes, sir, Mr.. Hoxie is in"
The brakeman took his letter out oil
his pocket, grabbed the corner of the
envelope between his thumb and fore,
finger, and sent the missive spinning
and whirling upon his superior's desk.
Hoxie looked up in amazement, and
said
"Now, young man, would it not
look better for you, when coming into
a. gentleman's office, and especially so
when asking a favor, to remove your
hat, wipe your feet, and inquire in a
quiet voice: is Mr.. Hoxie IMP"
The breakman looked at the general
manager for moment, asked for his
letter, got it, went out, closed the
door, and in q moment marched in
again, closed the door softly after,
wiped his feet, put his hat under his
arm, and in the most polite manner
possible inquired:
"1s Mr.. Hoxie, the general manager,
in2"
II am Mr.. Hoxie," replied the gen.
erai manager; "what can l do for
your"
"You can go to hi, you round
shouldered son of gun" retorted the
brakeman. 81 don't want none OF

SAD ACCIDENT.
Three Persons Drowned In n Creek
Near Nunnolley. Tenn.

NUENKLLRY, TENN, February s.
Mrs. Slater, child and nurse were
drowned Saturday In Mill creek, near
Graham Station. Mr.. Slater, who is
employed by the Warner Iron Com
pany to run a pump which conveys
water 10 the Nunnelley mines, had
taken his family, a wife and two little
children, out on the ice. He had bis
family and two children in a small
sled, and was carrying them up the
pond on the ice, and girl was walk
ing close behind the sled. They had
ascended the pond about three. quar-
ters OF mile, and finding the Ice rap
idly melting, they decided to return
home As the tlsd stopped the ice
gave way, and the unio tunate family
went under. The colored girl, seeing
the ice sinking, rushed for the sled,
and she, too, was carried beneath the
ice. Mr.. S alter, after many unsuccess-
full attempts TO rescue his wife and
children from the water, which is ten
feet deep, cried for help, aud wss
heard by two gentlemen, who reached
him just in time to save him and the
Oldest child, about two years OF age.
The wife, colored girl and baby, eight
months old, were drowned. The baby
was found short me afterward, and
q physician was called in, but reached
the baby too late to restore life. The
two other bodies were found at 3 80
o'clock yesterday afternoon, and were
carried TO the house Of Mr.. O. p.
Plunkett, who lives near where the
accidsn occurred.

Rabies From SnaRe.RI,e.

JASPER, GA, February S.-The con-
dition Of Mr.. Sylvester Sans, a we'll
known citizen of this county, excites
considerable interest. Two years ago
Mr.. Sans, while walking over his
farm, was bitten by a Ia'tlesnake. He
Immediately reforted TO the native
whisky-of which he took
copious draught,. Nothing more was
thought of the matter until about six
months ago, when Mr.. Sans betrayed
symptoms OF st. Vituss dance. He
was never still, not even in his sleep,
twitching his muscles and NOV
ing necessarily. Lately he has de-
veloped violent symptoms, and has
beaten his wife and family, and, in
fact, all who came within his reach.
He now acts like a man with we'll
defined case Of rabies, only instead of
barking, he makes a rafting sound.
He has been taken to the Canton Jail,
where strong guard will be kept over
him until the crisis is over.

A BOYS stranve ntnih.

CHICAGO, Ill, February S.-One of
the amusements of boys lately has
been the building of ice houses, some
Of them being for limitations of the ST.
Paul ice palace. For several DAYS
past number of little fellows were at
work at such a structure in the rear of
the residence Of Mr.. Jadman, No. 69l
Twenty-frst street. Saturday altar
noon the dead body OF Mark Jadman,
twelve years old, was found buried
under his snow kuilding by his
mother. She quickly summoned a
physician, but life had been too long
extinct for the service to avail. A
short ime before she had noticed him
and number Of smaller boys playing
around their snow place. but the other
boys got wearied and left. The sup
position is that Mark kept on playing
and jumping into a portion of the
snow structure head first, and was too
exhausted to extricate himself,

A Wise RefOrnn

The habit of administering quinine in pow
erful doses, as an antidoto to IN alarial mala-
dies, was once dangerously common. Hap
PLY this practice has undergone wide re-
form. Not only the public, but professional
men. have adopted, not wholly, of course,
but largely Hostettor's Stomach Bittors as
safe botanic substitute for the pernicious
alkaloid. The consequences Of this change
are. most important. Now fever and ague
plants were only for the time relieved, or
alf cured-tho remedy eventually failing
to produce any appreciate effect, except
the doses were increased. A course of tho
Bitters, porsistently followed, breaks up the
worse attack and prevents their return
The evidence In favor OF this sterling spo-
oihc and household medicine Is OF no am
biguous character, but positive and satisiac-
tory, and the sources whence II proceeds
arc very numerous.

her head with a sharp Ratchet A

that he was suffering from temporary

blow. The coroDers jury rendered q

ST. LOUIS, Mo, February 8.-A
freight train consisting OF sixty-two
cars heavily laden, while running ny
Poplar street from the river this
morning, separated in the middle and
Immediately the rear portion of the
train started back down the grade.
The brakemen did ali in their power
to arrest the proTess OF the runaway
cars, but their efforts were unavailing,
and in order 10 save their lives aban-
doned the train to its fate. Each
foot OF its backward course increased
the speed, and almost Immediately
several OF the cars began swaying
from side TO side, and soon several
jumped the tracks but still kept on in
their downward course, crashing into
the houses which line the streets and
leaving destruction ia their wake.
One OF the cars became ditched, how
ever, and this arrelt d the progress OF
those behind it. The others con-
tinued in their mad course, some of
the track and some ON, until they
were toppled over. into the river. Sew
eral houses on Poplar street, from
Fifth, where the two portions OF the
train became separated, to Second
street, were DANA yed, and almost
every house from thence 10 the river
was badly wrecked. The debris OF
the wrecked cars and houses now
strew the track, which 1t will require
several hours to remove. Tie loss
can scarcely be estimated at present
on account OF the confusion, but con-
sPrvatives place 1t at about $4,000.
No one sustained injuries OF q serious
character.

FREE SPEECH.
The Russian NinilIsts Compared With
the American Anarchists
by "ZenO."

For the ENQUIRER
Until reading Stepnlak's Underground
Russia" l had supposed that Russian
Nihilism bore strong emblance to
the Anarchism of America.
The book contains an address to the
car, by the executive committee of the
Revolutionary party, which no Anarchist
can indorse. 1t contains the following:
I'VE soIemulv declare, before the
country and before the whole world,
that our party will submit uucondluon-
alIy to the ma ional assembly which
meets upon the basis of the above con-
ditions and will offer no opposition TO
the government which the national as
sembly may sanction"
The conditions mentioned were
Amnesty for all political offenders.
National assemb y of representatives
chosen without regard to class distinc
tions.
Complete freedom of the press, OF
speech, and of public meeting.
Because these things were denied, the
Terrorists were active against the gov
ernment.
It follows that if those privileges were
allowed, as they are in America, there
