IT WAS THE SAME GIRL.-This world
is full of queer things that one never gets
on to. Now, you can come down past
big boarding house in the morning. A
young fellow meets you and he's whistling
about the nightingale singing of you-of
you, you-and you think how merry and
free from care he is. You don't put the
two things together at all, but if you look
up you'll seea girl waving her handkerchief,
and you'll notice if you look back that the
man has stopped whistling and is waving
his hand vigorously. Then you'll meet
another fellow. He's .whistling q bit of
"Ill Trovatore" in a careless, happy way.
You happen to glance up and you see q
girl waving her handkerchief, and he stops
whistling and takes off his hat, throwing
up smile that goes up higher than the
water from fire engine. A little later
you'll meet another man. He has a bad
cough, very bad cough, but he gets bet
ter, squints up skyward and waves his
hand and girl drops smile upon him.
It's all the same girl, but the men don't
know of one another's existence, and some
day there will be fight, for all those men
will give the signal at the same time and
they'll find it out.-,Sda Francisco Chronicle.
A RAILROAD IN A FOREsT.-You never
know or feel how utterly unpoetical and
practical railroad is until you come across
it in the middle of the forest. Nature alb
hors straight line of iron that looks all
the harder and more defiant when the rails
take the sunbeams and knock the senti-
ment out of them and turn them into hard
metallic light. The trees seem to do their
best to ignore the railroad ina dignifed way,
as becomes the monarchs of the forest. The
shrubbery hangs over, not with the wooing
or caressing movement that it has when 1t
makes love to the brook below, but kind
of mixture of fear and anger, as a dog
treats suspicious stranger.
The path crosses it, pursues its crooked
way in and out and around trees and bushes,
and wanders off erratically into the forest
or up the hillside, but every now and again
it turns toward the railroad track as if it
had quite forgotten it, and abruptly with
kind of disgust as if it said, "What, you
here again !" and goes back into the woods
again. Then the engine comes along. Its
sound is weird and worldly in the sacred
groves; its smoke never seems to penetrate
the foliage, but is barred out, and nature
seems to breathe again when the train,
rushing as if it had as little love for nature
as nature has for it, passes on the open plain
and the populous city.-Chronicle.

A VIRGINIA ROMANCE.-Here is story
from Nottoway county that will please the
most sensational. Two years ago there
dwelt in this county two individuals. One
of the individuals was ahandsome and pros
porous young farmer; the other was sau-
CIV and beWitching damsel of eighteen sum-
mers. The farmer was a stern man. The
bluest of old Virginia blood coursed through
his veins. He was prominent member
of the village church. He dwelt in FASH
ionable house. He had plenty of horses
and servants. The young farmer did not
associate with the rest of the villagers. Oh!
no, he was two proud for that. But mark
the change. One year thereafter he fell in
love with pretty girl far beneath him in
social rank and position. He pleaded IN
vain for her love, but she told him she
loved another. This drove the young far
mer mad, and in few months he had to be
taken to the Eastern Lunatic Asylum at
Williamsburg. But the romance did not
end here. The happy and expectant bride
was anxiously awaiting her nuptial day,
which the fates, it will be seen, determined
to be otherwise. Her sweetheart was in
stantly killed. When the sad news was
conveyed to her she became raving mani
&C. She was also taken to the Eastern Lu-
natic Asylum, where she met the man who
had wrecked his physical and mental ca
pacities on account of her. The sights of the
woman who spurned his love drove him
into such frenzy that a strait7jacket had
to be put upon him, and the very mention
of her name would throw him into violent
rage. Thus is life !-Petersb,uy Aader-Ap-
peal.

HUMAN STOMACHs MAY DIFFER.

The late DR.. Dio Lewis wrote several
books on dieting which some people read
as they would the gospel truth, following
the exacting rules with fidelity and pre-
cision worthy of better cause. DR.. Lewis
was no doubt the cause of very large
mortality among his fellow men, for he laid
down rules which were but marching Or
ders to the grave in many cases; and yet
he had more than an ordinarily large follow
ing as dietist.
There is vast amount of downright folly
in the operation called dieting, especially
when it is under the direction of another.
A few years ago some dietistic crank gave
out that oatmeal was the secret of long life
and good digestion, and the demand for the
article became enormous. Of late it has
been discovered that oatmeal is positive
injury to large number of people. DIR.
McCosh is often quoted as sample of the
beneficent effects of oatmeal eating, but the
learned doctor does not live altogether upon
the article, and he has, besides, a naturally
strong and rugged Scottish constitution.
1t will not do to experiment much in
dieting, nor take anybody's word about any
system of food. Human stomachs differ as
human faces differ. Some of them can en-
dure any amount of imposition. Some of
them are as sensitive as an electrical alarm
sounded by rising temperature. A child
may fill its stomach with deadly green ap-
pies and escape without a remote touch of
pain, while an adult eating the same dan
gerous stuff would be laid in his coffin in a
few hours. Nothing so tends to produce
chronic melancholy as the continual con-
temptation of ones stomach. Some persons
make themselves positively miserable by
worrying about the food they eat. They
deprive themselves of the very food which
nature calls for, to follow the directions of
some cranky person, who takes perfect
delight in counseling people to live on
bread and water or cracked wheat, and to
abstain from every article which has II
pleasant flavor and which makes one feel
good.
There is only one sensible rule to follow
about eating. Each person is the judge of
his own stomach, and that which he has
discovered to be injurious to himself he
should avoid. This is the best system of
dieting in the world. 1t requires simply
resolution and determination. The man
or woman who continues to feed on that
which Injuries deserves to suffer. Nature
has placed her own danger signals in our
stomachs, and we will be perfectly safe if
we heed them. But nature has no part or
lot with the modern starvation dietist.

THE HOOP, OR HORNED SNAKE.-A. l..
Cobb and Felix Suber, colored man, killed
hoop, or horned, snake near the city yes
terday morning. 1t is beautiful specimen
with perfect, clean taper from head to tail,
and polished and symmetrically marked
skin. The tip of the tail is slightly bent
horn about lalf an inch long. Mr.. Cobb
says it is the same as hoop snake, so called
from its habit of taking the horn in its
mouth and rolling itself like hoop. He
says he has himself seen the snakes travel
in that way, moving "about as fast as hare
gallops." He adds that the hoop snake is
very poisonous, and that two years ago
when he killed one and mashed its horn
on a rock the grass around the rock in a
distance of two feet was killed by the pois-
on if fire had burned it. There is a gener-
ally accepted local tradition here that tree
struck by the horn of hoop snake will
wither and die GreenviNe Necs, 2lst.

REMARKABLE RUINs.-The Chihuahua
(Mexico) Enterprise reports the discovery OF
some remarkable ancient ruins on hill or
mountain four leagues south OF Magdalena,
in Sonora. The hill is about 700 feet high,
and half way up there isa layer of gypsum,
which is as white as snow, and may be cut
into any conceivable shape, yet sufficiently
hard to retain its shape after being cut. In
this layer of stone are cut hundreds upon
hundreds of rooms from 6x1O to 1GSlS feet
square. So even and true are the walls,
floor and ceiling, so plumb and level as TO
defy variation. There are no windows IN
the rooms, and but one entrance, which IS
always from the top. The rooms are Dut
eight feet high from floor to ceiling, the
stone so white that it seems almost trans
parent, and the rooms are not at all dark.
On the walls of these rooms are numerous
hieroglyphics and representations OF human
beings cut in stone in different places; but,
strange to say, all the hands have five fin
gers and thumb, and the feet have six toes.
Charcoal is found on the floor of many OF
the rooms. Implements of every descrip-
tion are to be found. The houses or rooms
are one above the other to three or four sto-
ries high, but between each story there is a
ioe or recess the full width of the room be-
low, 50 that they present the appearance OF
large steps leading up the mountain.

To tie Editor Of the Herald:

There was a bill before the last
Legislature of this State known as
the "Short Haul Bill" The essence
of this bill was that railroad corpo.
rations should not charge more to
haul freight short distance than
they did long distance. And, but
for the influence of Gov. Smith and
his paid attorneys it would have be.
come the law of tho State, as il
ought to be, and then we should
not now be paying from SIS to $22
per car more OH corn, -four, oats,
bran, etc, from the west than is
charged to carry the same through
to Portland.
To one not acquainted with the
past history of our State it must seem
strange to note the perfect accord
that exists between the st. Adams
Messenger, Montpelier Waterman,
and Montpelier Argus, as shown by
the quotations in your last issue
But to those at all familiar with the

secret" that Atkins was the tail oil

STARCH is the only starch in the Uni

have a practical knowledge of the

cooking, keeps the iron from sticking
and linen from blistering while ironing,
and gives shirts, cuffs and collars that
stiffness and beautiful polish they have
when new, which, everybody knows
keeps them clean twice as long. Be.

ordered L. S. troops to the seat of
disturbance, and promptly put down
tho rioters, and n number of the
leaders were arrested by the civil
authorities. They were promptly
indicted by the Grand jury, and were
brought to trial; but they all were
acquitted by the petit juries before
whom they were tried. This result,
of course, emboldened the whole an
ti-Chinese element, with their lead
erS, along the whole Pacific coast
country, and hence, We have this
fresh outbreak that is now running
its course against all the Chinese in
Washington Territory, Oregon, and
California. 1t is now conceded that
there is no remedy as against the
anti Chinese party through the civil
law. Nothing short of a general
application of martial law principle
can protect the Chinese from such
outrages as their prosecutors choose
to infict upon them; and there is nc
punishment for the rioters who en-
gage in this abuse Of the Chinese
unless it comes through the admins
tration of martial law.

Gov. Smiths kite; aud there is ne
man now in Vermont, probably,
working harder to secure the defeat
Of Edmunds and the election of
Smith than this same Atkins.
There was at one time man living
in this town that | will call Mr.. A.
He was so universally on the wrong
side of every question that all good
men were wont to enquire, when
any new thing came up, Which
side does A. take?" and then, until
they had thoroughly Investigated
the matter, take the opposite side.
| think this would be a good rule
for at least the Republicans of this
State to adopt as far as Hiram At
kins is concerned. If he is anxious
to have Senator Edmunds place filed
by Gov. Smith, or anybody else, they
should find on investigation that
they are on the other side.
| think it will be in order for you,
Mr.. Editor, to say before long upon
which side of this fence you will take
your stand. H.D.s.
