RAILWAY CONDUCTORS.
Married Mon Preferred by tho Managers
OF Transportation Companies

Married Mon Preferred by tho Managers
OF transportation Companies.
The railroad companies, as a rule,
greatly prefer that their conductors
should be men of family for the two
fold reason that they are more easily
located when wanted. and. again, for
the influence for good that loving
wife and affectionate children may
have over him. "A man will often
hesitate before doing wrong which
might send him to the penitentiary
when he has wife and children at
home TO look after and care for" re-
marked railroad superintendent yes
terday, This led him to say that the
fatigues of a long run made the con-
ductors anxious for the peace and
quiet of home, and when they have one
they can nearly always be found Mt it.
Conductors dissipate very little nova
days. Tho man who drinks, even when
of duty, is not the proper party to in
trust with the lives of great number
of people. 1t is II rare thing TO see one
of them in u bar-room, and if seen
there he does not tarry long. One OF
the oldest and most popular conduct
ors of st. Louis is ut present lying of,
with no prospect of securing n job again
soon. He has been resting for II year.
When the superintendent under whom
he worked was asked the reason for
this enforced idleness he candidly an
swered that there was nothing against
the man except his failing of taking I'M
occasional drink, The company could
not afford 10 employ men who tippled for
such responsible work when there were
so many good and temperate men anx.
ious to fill the same positions 81.

Flowing Frozen Ground.

Sometimes land may be protitably
plowed in winter when slightly frozen.
A thin slice of frozen earth is no seri-
Gus obstruction to the pillow with good
cutter in advance. nor is it any injury
when turned to- the bottom of the fur
row. Rather curiously it makes the
land warmer aud dryer early in spring
than it would otherwise be. The ex-
PLANTATION of tins singular fact is that
the frozen earth holds the furrow up
and prevents it from becoming rs COM
pact as it otherwise would fall, es-
pecially if wet. While the frozen
slice at the bottom thaws by internal
heat of the soil beneath it, the furrow
above il meanwhile freezes, thus insur-
ing not only disintegration of soil to
that depth. bat Il looseness of texture
that admits the warm air in spring
when the furrow thaws out. A heavy
sod plowcd when there is a very
thin slice of frozen soil among the
grass roots makes a particularly mel
low seed bed in spring. The frost
works IL down about rs well rs work
ing on il half the summer could do. -

Ferocious People who Live In burrows
Like Wolves and Foxes.
That people exist in the State of New
York who live like prairie dogs in
holes in the ground would hardly be
credited by many people. Yet it is a
fact, and such community, one hun
dred and fifty souls in number, exists
not more than eighty miles from New
York City and less than five miles from
the Hudson river.
In the Paltz mountains, in Ulster
County. there is tribe of people gem
orally known as Pang HANGERS. who live
in place in the mountains called Pang
Yang. These people are mixture of
the white, negro and Indian races, and
seldom is pure blood of either race
found among them.
In the summer they pick berries on
the mountains and sell to fruit specu-
lators. In winter they live by begging
in the neighboring towns and villages.
The language spoken is dialect of
Holland Dutch mixed with the Indian
tongue, rs spoken by the Mohican or
Delaware tribe before the revolution.

look upon stealing as a lawful bust
ness.
Their habtatons are of the worst
description, at the best nothing but
huts, while the majority are mere dug
outs in the side of 4 hill, with blanket
hung before the opening to keep out
the wind and rain. They are extreme
ly filthy, and dirt could not be taken
oil them i'll any other way than to
patiently chip it off with u Ratchet.
Their appearance is very much diff.
ferent from any mixed race either in
the South or West. The men are stall
wart and many of them over six feet
in height. swarthy as a Malay, with
crisp black hair and piercing black
eyes. The women have much the
same general appearance.
In dress they wear the odds and

Some people say they first sprang
from the Tory refugees who sought

went with him. together with few
recruits they gathered around them
