four thousand miles, but nothing has ever
been heard of Tom Huffman. The poor
girl could not survive her disgrace. Last

The "Flying Scotchman" has been

a recent London letter. When the

the two traversed the greater part OF
that distance at a speed of q mile a

was 400 miles, and the actual time, ex-
Guiding stops, was seven hours and
twenty-five minutes, On average of
fifty-threc and MISUNDERSTANDING
miles per hour. This has never been
approached before for SO long q run.
The fastest continuous record in Eng
land hitherto was that of the special
train which took the Prince of Wales
from Liverpool to London-2OO miles
in three hours and fifty-nine minutes,
an average slightly over tifty-seven
miles. Despite the fearful speed, the
journey wal not Mt all unpleasant. The
jostling and lateral motion seemed no
greater than when going at ordinary
speed. The sight from the windows
was unusual, however. Trains coming
at full speed from the opposite direc-

Blotted Out.

We were going down the Mississippi.
and had just pulled out of Natchez,
when a man, who had boarded the boat
at that place, sat down with four or five
of Ills and entered into general CONVEX
sation. He was learned and intelligent
and was as calm and self-possessed as
any one you ever met. BY and by he
coolly said:
Gentlemen, l want your opinion on
a strange question. Let each one of
You give his choice of death in a case of
suicide"
There was more or less jocular talk
before an opinion was given. There
were five of us, to he exact, and two
held to laudanum, n to shooting and
the other two to drowning. It wal
agreed, however, that in none of the
cases would the victim suffer much,
providing lie wa determined to make
sure thing of it.
"Why do you ask, Colonel?" I
queried after q while, seeing that he
was silent.
Because it's a personal matter with
me. Gentlemen, I am very glad to
have met You, and to have had this
pleasant visit. Good-day.n

and walked to the port side of the boat
and sprang into the water before the
eyes of fifty people. We stood ready
