HE MISSED THE TRAIN.
An Obstreperous Excursionist Given

An Obstreperous Excursionist Given
a Lodging at the Barracks.
One of the Augusta excursionists got
hopelessly left last night. He is a big
strapping colored man who gave the name
of Tom Wright, when he was taken to the
barracks. Tom was not drunk, but half
seas over, just enough to make him ugly
and vicious, and block TO the rest of the
excursionists at the Central depot who were
trying to get to the train. Several times
Officer Douglass warned him to keep out of
the way, and not create so much disturb
ance, but he was persistent and when the
officer finally attempted his arrest he showed
fight A blow from billy in the forehead
brought him to his senses, and he was soon
on his way to the barracks. A crowd Of
negroes started TO follow threateningly, when
the officer turned on them, and with his
right hand on his revolver cautioned them
10 turn back, which they did when they
saw Douglass was in earnest.
Wright pleaded TO be permitted to go, and
exhibiting his ticket said it would not be
good after last night Sergt. Reilly told
the prisoner he ought TO have thought of
that at the depot. After undergoing a
search Wright was locked up. He had 81
and an ugly looking knife on his person.

tiers, states that if the railroads comply
with the suggestion of the master car
builders and change the present man-killing
system of coupling in universal use on
freight cars, the cost would be $28 80 per
car, and as there are are l,OO0,00O cars in
the United States, the cost would be
j28, 5O0,0 900 1t is also estimated the present
system of coupling costs $4,000 900 per
annufn for accidents, wrecks aud various
other causes. An automatic coupler would
therefore, it is stated, be cheaper in the
end, and a great cry of thanksgiving would
arise from the thousands of men who risk
their lives every time they step between two
cars. 1t is not generally known that there
are over 5000 separate letters patent in
existence on car coupling.

BIRDS AND COMING STORMS.
How the Winged Beauties Foretell the
Threatening Winds
EroY, fba IN jc1oa Nome

FROM Tue CVtCb0O 4NtDSs
The saw-hke ncte of the great titmouse is
said to foretell rain; that of the blue-tit
cold.
Various proverbs would seem to indicate
| that the cry of the owl, if heard in bad
weather, foretels change.
Herons, says an old author, flying up and
down in the evening, as If doubtful where
to rest, ''presage some evil approaching
weather. legend as old as Virgil.
In Germany DIV ellers in the country lack
faith in the skylark's song as announcing
fine wea her, but when the lark and the
cuckoo sing together they know that sum
mer has come.
In Hampshire swans are believed to be
Matched in thunderstorms, and it is said that
those on the Thames have an instructive
preScience of floods. Before heavy rains
they raise their nests.
In the south of France so much store is
set by the wisdom of the maybe, that if it
builds its nest on the summit of tree, the
country folk expect season of calm; but If
10 er down, winds and tempests are sure to
follow.
The adherence in which mariners hold
the swallow like storm petrol is well known.
Its appearance is believed to denote wild
| weather. This little bird is the Mother
| Carey's chicken of sailors, and is also called
| storm finch and water witch.
Concerning gulls in general, children who
| live by the sea say: 'Seagull, seagull, sit
on the sand: it's never good weather while
| you're on the land; and fisher folk know
| that when the seamews fly out early and
far to seward fair weather may be ex-
| pected.
When rocks fly high and seem to initiate
birds of prey by soaring, swooping and fall
| ing, it is almost a certain sign of coming
storm. Staying in the vicinity of the
| rookery, returning at midday or coming to
roost in groups, are also said to be omens to
the like effect
The constant iteration OF the green wood
| pecker's cry before the storm has given it
| the names of rain bird, rain pie and ram
| fowl. Stormscock is a provincial name
shared by this bird and the missel-thrush,
| the latter often singing through gales of
wind and rain. Storm bird is also applied
to the fieldfare
To Scotch shepherds the drumming of the
snipe indicates dry weather and frost at
night, and Gilbert White remarks that
woodcocks have been observed to be re-
markedly listless against snowy, foul wealth
or, while, according to another author,
their early arrival and continued abode
| 'foretells a liberal harvest"
