Nervous system Evidently shattered.


Uncle Alexander Taylor, the veteran
who keeps the Long Island hotel was
seated in large armchair at the end of
his bar chatting with several Fulton
market dealers, when George Smith, of
Patchogue, sent the colored waiter over
to the market to have dozen hard-shell
crabs steamed. A select quartette slipped
out in advance of the waiter and procur-
ing a large live crab dipped him in pot
of red paint. Then they intercepted the
waiter on his return and placed this crab
on top of those which had been cooked.
When the waiter returned with the
basket Mr.. Smith placed it on the floor
and raising the lid said: "Come boys, help
yourselves" The uncooked crab lost no
time in getting out of the basket. Mr..
Taylor saw him and shouted: "Look at
him walk Catch him"
"Catch whatr asked one of the jokers
"It's the first time / ever saw boiled
crab walk" cried Mr.. Taylor. BY this
time the crab had rounded the corner OF
the bar and slowed himself away Then
the jokers began to advise Mr.. Taylor to
call in a physician as his nervous system
was evidently shattered, and Recommended
brandy and soda as a beverage Mr..
Taylor sat up all night with wet towel
around his head. In the morning he
found the painted crab walking around
and now he's mad.-New York Express
Fading Out of Ruben's Great Painting.
The generally accepted view in Belgium
is that most of the paintings in churches
belong to the state, and are only held on
trust by the authorities of the respective
churches. 1t has been found that, in
consequence Of the negligence or ignor-
ance of the clergy and the church
wardens, many of the pictures are dete-
riorating, while some objects of art have
disappeared having been disposed of by
sale or otherwise.
The two masterpieces of Rubens in the
Collegiate church at Antwerp are becom-
ing darker from year to year, owing to
the effect of the thick wells with which
they are covered. These wells are tempo
rarely raised only when the beadles con
slider the number of sightseers leach of
whom has to pay france sufficiently
large.
A short time ago Nj. de Moreau, who
has the fine arts in his department,
issued circular directing that measures
should be taken for the preservation of
all objects of art in churches. 1t is hoped
that one of these measures will be to re-
store Rubens' two masterpieces in the
Collegiate church at Antwerp perma-
nently to the light of day.-London

WHAT IS COMING.

Enterprise Anti Monopolist.
The surveying corps Of the Rock Island
road reached Enterprise early yesterday
forenoon having run line direct from
Harrington here. finding splendid route
and easy grades all the way.
They are now running several lines be
tween here and Abilene
Evidently there is a contest between the
Rock Island and Santa Fe for this valuable
territory, and we will soon have both of
these powerful roads running into Enter
prise. The Rock Island must build from
Hope to secure the county bonds
If the Santa Fe should parallel the Chi
cago and Rock Island back over the old
Omaha, Abilene and Wichita route, the
result will be, and beyond anything
the Santa Fe can do to prevent it,
that Wichita will have and
solely, competing lines to the Smoky Hill
valley and intermediate points The same
thing will be forced on to the Santa Fe
with reference to upper Arkansas valley
That road within few months will be forced
to operate trains directly between Wichita
and the upper Arkansas valley, or simply
loose her portion of such traffic and travel
as will hereafter be carried on between
Wichita and the points where the Missouri
Pacific and its branches touch the Arkansas
river west of this city

Speaking of Secretary Chase reminds me
of singular incident. One day, white a

on some errand, and found him laboring
under strong excitement. He was talking
with his bosom friend, Senator s. c.
Pomeroy, of Kansas, about the Republican
convention of 1864 and the certainty Of
Lincoln's denomination. and 1868 will
be too late.' he exclaimed, bitterly, ''for
the war will be over and some soldier will
be elected sure! The soldiers are

OFF ON A WHALE HUNT.

A would-be contributor writes complain.
inc that he is denied hearing through
these columns, closing with the cutting OBJ
servation that he had supposed that any
body or any cause would be given hear
ing in the EAGLE That is just where our
friend is clear off, as he might have known
had he been closer observer of the col
umns. Some newspapers make pretence
of such policy but no newspaper ever
amounted to much that carried it out
There are cranks enough in every com
munity to break down the best paper ever
printed if they were indiscriminately per-
mitted to effervese through its columns
The EAGLES rule has always been to ad
init only such communications rs, in the
judgment of its editor, would prove unob-
jectionable to majority of his readers No
communication will be printed that would
even meet a protest from a good minority
of our readers. 4 newspaper is printed
for peoples rather than for individuals, and
should be the advocate of the measures,
principles and interests of communities
rather than the exponent of individual
grievances or extreme notions, and never
the vehicle to make public the mere private
opinion of that numerous individual of
every community who eternally goes about
under the impression that nobody but he
knows, and that unless he is permitted to
air himself at ssomebody elses expense
everything will inevitably be utterly
No sir. the EAGLE makes no pretence Of
giving everything and everybody a hearing.

meet, in the fullest, the judgement and
personally, of its editor Like

land all the passengers and at the port for
which they shipped. and not to go off on =

lubber is out of grease.

ASTONISHING RESULTS.

alluded to in these columns. Like the
SORGHUM and imphie plants, the broom

been raia-i l. objection that this valley

THE ROCK ISLAND.

The Commonwealth appears Friday with
a statement as to the present and future ex-
tensions of the Rock Island into and
through Kansas. There has been so much
said touching the lines to be followed by
that road that, aside from the surveys and
aid voted one would think that there was
no chance to make misstatements. 1t is no
new thing that the Rock Island would run
one line southwest in the direction of Ell
Paso The EAGLE months ago announced
that Mr.. Gable said that if that road crossed
the Missouri river at all one line would go
to Wichita and that another line would bear
