In a Sleeper.
Memphis Appeal.
Z. B. Sims, who has Just returned TO
he city with his family, had an awful
fright the other night on board of Pull
man sleeping car.
1t appears that his little daughter, about
years of age, got up TO get a drink of
water. Returning, she missed the section
where her father was, and lay down be-
side an old gentleman from New Orleans,
who in the darkness she mistook for her
papa.
In an instant she was asleep. In the
meantime Mrs. Sims waited and waited
for the child TO come back until impat-
fence gave away to anxiety, and anxiety
to alarm, Finally she awoke Mr.. Sims
and told him what had occurred. He few
out of bed, ramsacked the toilet rooms,
CROPPED in every conceivable corner, but
the child was nowhere. An open door at
the rear of the coach suggested horrible
possibility, which the cheerful porter
clinched with the soothing information
that the door had been open for half an
hour.
At last, hoping against hope, Mr. Sims
cast ceremony to the dogs, and one by
one began to explore every section in the
coach, in spite of thu protests of the in
mates. Finally snugly sleeping in uncon-
scious innocence, he found the little girl
asleep ct the side of the old gentleman
from New Orleans, who slept like craven
image, end was as dead to what was
passing around him as an Egyptian mum
my.
1t was some time before the agitation
caused by the child's mistake subsidized,
and of all the parties concerned none was
more surprised than the strange old
party from New Orleans.

allowing the growth of industrial Amer
ica, in one generation, or from 1850 to

this progress of the nation and finds that
while the population increased in that
period 100 per cent. railways advanced
1850 per cent, banking systems, 9lS per
cent; steam power, 1885, wealth, $50; man
ufactures, 40s; commerce, SO; agricul-
ture, 252; education, 5OG; and shipping,

chiefly valuable as aifording compare
tive view of the advance in these items of
national greatness. Mulhall estimates
that the next census will show popula.
ton of GGO00,O00 and an accumulatiye
wealth of S7o,ooo,00O,09O or so per cen t.
