Two Red Lights On the Track.

Ever ride on an engine on dark,
stormy night, eh? Have you learned
what red light means? I remember
one bleak, 5dreary night in the winter of
1877 was running on the Erie. We
were behind time, and were skimming
down the Hill toward Alden, when we
rounded the curve and Saw what
seemed to be a blaze of red lights before
US. 1T seemed to me that the country
was Oh fire. Ny heart jumped into my
throat, and I thought my time had
come. / reversed my lever, put on the
air brakes and opened the throttle wide.
My fireman had jumped, with serious
consequences. to himself, and [ thought
/ was a goner. [ lot one brief prayer
escape my lips, and felt a terrible
Earring.
AT first it flashed through my mind
that we had struck, but as l heard the
jarring Of the wheels found that we
ere4at nearly a dead stop, the wheels
slipping on account Of the force of the
steam which had run up. just about
two feet from us was the caboose of a
freight train, which we would have run
into had we not stopped in time. After
this excitement was over one Internal
fool of a passenger came up and asked
why we had stopped SO quick, swearing
at both the road and myself for stopping
trains so quick. The cylinders of my
engine cut little on account of the
cinders which were drawn in through
reversing, but beyond that no damage
was done.
You can bet your bottom dollar, my
boy, that the two red lights on the back
of that caboose looked to me that night
more like great mountain of red stone
on the track than they did like two in
offensive crimson lights. Buffalo Ex-

Stopping at the White House.

Not long ago ] heard an old gentle
man telling, with great delight, Of how
be was once a guest at the White
House. It was during Andrew jack
son term. His father was an ardent
sdmirer Of Jackson, and insisted that
the son, then just OF age, should take a
pilgrimage to Washington for the sole
purpose of seeing the old hero. They
lived at Erie, Penn, and the long jour
ney had to be madeon horseback. The
young man took the tedious ride, and,
after refreshing himself at a Washing
ton Hotel, went up to the White House
and asked to see the President. When
he was admitted he told Jackson that
he had ridden all the way from Eric to
see him. The President asked his BUSH
ness, and was highly pleased when he
was told that the only object Of the visit
had been accomplished IN obtaining an
interview. Jackson ASKED WllGre the
young man was stopping, and, On being
told, insisted on sending down for his
horse and saddle-bags. and retaining
him as a guest at the White House,
For week the young Pennsylvania
enjoyed 'sOld Hickory's' hospitality.
On the morning of his departure his
horse, with the saddle bags across his
back, was led in front OF the White
House, and the President came out, as
any good old farmer would have done,
to shake hands and wish him asafe jour
nsy home. Atlanta Constitution.

The Fashions.

Coquellcot and mandarin yellow are
still the leading colors in French milli-
merry.
Hoop earrings set with pearls, dia-
nonds, garnet or rubies are very fash
iolably worn with full evening toilets.
Hoped clasps to match fasten the vel
vet dog collars, now the invariable adj
dition to a dressy costume.
Rhinestone spiders now ornament
the outside of tiny velvet opera bon
nets, and also decorate the toes of the
dainty gay French kid sandals worn
over garnet silk hose at five o'clock teas.
Scarfs, panels, sashes, Naistcoats and
facings to the jaunty Laveuse tunics
made of bouc)e cloth, cashmere, viyogne
or tweed, are again formed of Roman
plaided or striped plush. For every
young girls wear, the short Battenberg
coat and Rob Roy cap are also made Of
the gay plush fabric.
Ladies' cloth of very dalk cardinal,
made with the skirts laid in wide pan
els, with narrow kills intersecting, the
panels decorated with heavy raised
Russian embroidery in colors of car
dinal, green and gold, composss one Of
the most stylish and elegant walking
costumes of the season. The overdress
is caught up high on the right side with
colored beaded ornaments, and the
short cardinal velvet yisite is lined with
striped plush, whose colors match the
shades Of the Russian embroidery.

TuUfsDAy EVENING, SEPTEMBER %.

THOUSANDS OF RATTLEsNAKEs.-Towe
ing above the valleys in the region of Kim
qua are the smaller mountains Of the Penn
sylyania range. These high hills are COW
cred with dense forests, and are well nigh
inaccessible. Few men other than bark
peelers and hunters ever ascend to the top
of the mountains. A party of hunters from
Warren and KinZua returned recently from
a several days hunt, during which they ex-
plored large sections of the mountains for
the first time. Fred Hughes, one of the
party, tells strange story, which ls corrob'
Grated by his companions. he reports that
there is a peculiar body of water on the
very top of one of these mountains which
has no perceptible outlet or inlet. The lake
ia enclosed on all sides by high rocks Of
pebbly formation. The hunting party say
the water is full Of black snakes, and that
many thousand rattlesnakes were seen
sporting on the shores Of the lake and com.
pletely covering the face Of the high rocks
which encircle the pond. Only here and
there could patches Of the rocks be seen for
the squirming mass Of reptiles. Hughes
says that when disturbed on these occasions
by the presence Of man, instead OF running
away the snakes in concert would raise their
ugly heads and hies till the air seemed to
fairly seethe Then ali in chorus would set
up rafting that sounded like tons of shot
poured on q plate of sheet iron, and the
echoes of which, reverberating between the
huge bowlders would agitate the lake as If
swept over by a storm.
