An Electric Negro.

A good story comes from Quitman, Go.
The other day negro came into town
and got drunk and commenced to enliven
the streets by whooping and prancing
around with ham under his arm. A
police attempted to arrest him, when the
negro resisted and hit the officer with the
ham. This enraged the officer, who lift
ed his club and whacked the negro on the
head, and the next instant popping
sound was heard, aud the negro's wool
became all ablaze and burned 6ercely.
Such an unusual sight frightened the
policeman, and thinking he had struck
an electric man he took to his heels, and
the negro, imagining that the policeman
had voodooed him with some kind of
magic fire stick, also became frantic with
fear ard darted off in an opposite direc,
ton, bowling like madman and clutch,
ing wildly at his blazing wool. The citi-
zens of the town we're startled by the
strange occurrence, and it was not until
all the negro's wool was consumed, and
he had stopped running, that the cause
of the ccnfagration was discovered. II
appears that the negro, as is quite com.
mon with his race, was in the habit oi
carrying matches in his hair, and the
blow from the policeman's club iguited a
parlor match and started fire, which
frightened dutiful officer out of his wits
and will render bibulous colored citizen
as bald as stove lid for the remainder Of
his life.-New Orleans States.

The eagerness with which some of our
teachers avail themselves of the priv
ileges offered by the Teachers Library is
unquestionably favorable omen. The
teacher wEo has nothing to learn is a
dead teacher. The teacher who spends
the whole of one evening after another
in conversation with the family with
whom he boards, is a dwarf He is a
failure. No live man can afford to teach
day after day, without taking in some
thing. There must be constant filling
up as well as giving out. Don't spend
the evenings idly. If you do, you will
soon become as hollow and as dry as
powder horn. Fill upl Fill up u read,
study, think, digest. 1t is your privilege
1T is your duty. These evenings are
long and kerosene oil is cheap. You
may be allowing golden opportunities to
slip through your fingers. If you expect
to make teaching your vocation, you
ought to be ambitious to become a first
class teacher, No mai has right to
remain at the bottom of his profession, if
natufe has endowed him with abilities
that ct him for higher position. If
YOU expect to teach, exhaust your re-
sources TO make yourself a first class
teacher in every particular.

De No.Hell Church.

Rector w. II. Capers of Trinity
Church, Lancaster, tells story about
tue black people of town in South
Carolina where he once lived. The
Unitarians built church there, and they
were new and novel sect, in the opin-
ion Of the negro population, who had
been told that the members of the new
church were "no help folks. That de-
fiuition fitted the negro tongue better
than did the word "Unitarian," and so
the new sect got to be known to the
blacks by the words which denoted their
disbelief in eternal damnation. One
night the Unitarian Church burned
down. It was night of great rejoicing
among the blacks, who shouted, "De
No hell church burned down! Now
dem wicked sinners will come into de
fold. If dey can't stop de fire in dis
world, dey can't do it i'll de next. Hal
leluiah! De No hell church burned
down !"-Bufalo Ecpress.

How the Air Brake Works.

Said railroad man to reporter yes.
terday: "I'll bet no one in hundred of
the people who travel on railroad trains
understand how the pressure of air is
used to apply the brakes to a train
When the air brake was first invented
the air was turned into the cylinder
under each car when the car was to be
stopped, and the pressure was exerted to
force the brakes up against the wheels.
But at the present day the brakes are
held against the wheels by springs, and
the air is turned into the cylinder to push
the brakes away from the wheels as long
as the train is in motion. When tits
desired to stop the train the air is let out,
and then the springs apply the brakes
and stop the train. This last method of
using air pressure has great advantages
over the old way on the score of safety.
"Whenever an accident happens to o
train one of the first. effects it is apt to
have is to rupture the air pipes leading
from the engine to the cylinders under
tho cars; and that of itself stops the
train instantly. 1t is very important for
everybody to understand this matter,
because child 5 years old can stop
train in thirty seconds from any car in
the train if he simply understands how.
You will see, if you look for it, that there
is o,sort of rope projecting from the toilet
room of every car. That connects with
the air pipes under the train. If you
catch hold of it and give a little jerk it
will stop the train before it has gone 200
yards"

"Whcreof are you gully or not
guilty" ?"
"Sah?" said Jim.
"Read it over" eaid the judge; and
over again it was accordingly read, and
to the same concluding interrogation Jim
again responded, "sah ?"
"see here, you," said the judge; "he is
asking you if you took the hog or net"
And to my horfcr Jim scratched his
