A DELAWARE, Lackawanna and West
ern passenger train was thrown down
thirty-foot embankment at Tracy's Bridge
near Binghamton, N. Y, at 2:15 Friday
morning. The cars caught fire and were
soon consumed. A man persisted in the
flames; half-dozen passengers were pro-
badly fatally hurt, and many others were
wounded. Most of those who escaped had
no covering but their night clothes, and
shivered for two hours in the frosty air
before a relief train arrived.

State Historical Society, Wisconsin. With
two maps of the routes. Emo. 29S pages.
$1.25.
Mr.. Thwaites tells his story with all the en-
thusiasm of cauoeist and lover of nature. He
graphically describes the scenes along his
course, to which additional interest is added by
their as Ociation with the explorers, Joliet
Marquette, and Jean Nicolet.
1T can certainly be said that he found much
to interest him in drifting down these Wiscon-
sin and Illinois rivers -. gathering up odds
and ends of old historic associations with In
dams, Voyageurs, Jesuit priests, Bordermen,
and all the curious adventures who first pen,
etrated the Northwest. y Chicago Times.
"a well written account of an interesting
journey, full of pleasing incidents, and proves
that pleasant outiDg can be enjoyed without
going across the ocean. People often make
the mistake of going long distances from home,
when better recreation and more enjoyable
is near at hand. One who takes in chapter
of the neat little volume will be anxious to
read it to the end."-Chtcd0o Inter Ocean.

A MEMORY OF EARLY DAYS.

Bane of childhood's tender years.
Swallowed oft with groans and tears,
How it made the flesh recoil,
Loathsome, greasy castor oil
Search your early memory close,
Till you find another dose;
All the shuddering frame revolts
At the thought of EPSON salts!
Underneath the pill-box lid
Was a greater horror hid,
Climax of all inward ills,
Huge and gripping old blue pills!
What contrast to the mild and gentle ac-
ton of DIR. Pierce's Pleasant Purgatiye Pei
lets, sugar coated, easy to take, cleansing
recuperating, renovating the system without
wrenching it with agony. Sold by druggists

Home Letters from Foreign Lands. By D. N
Richardson. Svo $500.
There Is scarcely dull page In the book,
and the Western Americans love of rapid
transit in Literature as in all else, is here both
illustrated in the Author and furnished for
the reader. The narrative moves forward in
the briskest style Imaginable. 1t reminds us
of heat as mode of motion. Everything is
comprehensive, far-ranging, full of generaliz-

tails the mass vibrates in whirl of sprightli-
ness and vigor. "-Ndtion. NeU York.
The author has pleasing style and in-

never tires one with tedious descriptions of

force Friday morning last. Fred. Sher-

blown some distance and burned from

died three hours later. The force OF the

Sufferers are not generally aware that these

this to be q fact, and the result is that a sim

FoREIGN-Germany.-The funeral
of Emperor William took place at Berlin,
March 16. The weather was again ex-
tremely cold and the troops, who were
ranged four deep along the route taken
by the funeral cortege, wore heavy
cloaks. The low temperature had no
apparent effect upon the people and
hundreds of thousands of spectators CO.
cupied the space behind the soldiers,
while every window along Inter den
Linden was crowded. All the houses on
the thoroughfsre were covered with
mourning and exhibited flags with black
drapery. At the street crossings massive
pillars draped with black and surmount-
ed by Prussian eagles had been erected.
The lamp-posts were covered with Grape,
and at every fifty PAGES there were large
candelabras bearing flaming cresents.
The funeral service took place in the
cathedral in accordance with the pro-
gram. Emperor Frederick was not pres
emit, the weather being too severe to per-
NIT of his exposing himself. The Emperor
was greatly grieved because he was not
allowed to attend the funeral, the thought
disturbing his sleep. The physicians had
to entreat with him earnestly for long
time, as he persisted in his intention to
attend the funeral. While the cannon
were firing he stood silently listening
and watching at the back window. AS
the coffin passed the window he covered
his eyes with his hands and burst into
tears. Empress Victoria and the Prin-
cess attended the services at the msusol-
cum. Empress Augusta remained at

among the wives CT attaches'aro several
noted beauties.
The British nobility is so connected by
marriage that it is no surprise to learn
that Minister Vests sister was the Sec
ond wife of the late Marquis of Salia-
bury, and therefore stepmother TO the
present Lord Salisbury, premier of Eng
land, and ex-oiiicio chief of the depart
ment of foreign affairs. Since the death
of the marquis she has married the earl
of Derby. 1t is not so uncommon a thing
to dismiss foreign ministers as might be
supposed, from the fact that it has not
happened for many years in this coun-
try. Washington requested the recall
Of the French Genet; Taylor perempto-
rily ordered Poussin, also French, to
withdraw from Washington, and Grant
refused recognition to Catacazy, the Rus
sian minister, whose government re-
called him. Three times in three-quar-
ters of century is not very often, but
Minister West should have known better
on general principles.

In the old days the nervous patient
was one who met with bun little forbear-
ance from others. 1t was universally
conceded to be a matter of the patients
own will; she could be different il she
would, and only the mono charitable
called her possessed. But nowadays
it is commonly admitted that the
nervous patient is irresponsible -
that scolding and approaching are
worse than useless, inasmuch as they are
cruel and wicked, and that the only cure
for the trouble is complete indulgence
and rest. For it has at last been recog-
nized as a trouble. a real trouble, and not
a voluntary matter within the patients
control; a case not Of fidgets, but of tired
and sick and naked nerves, that must be
soothed and cushioned and clothed and
made whole again.--Harper's Bazaar.

there is the prince of Polly McNatts, DR..

Wonderful rotaters these men are in

They are nothing but fslsifers, suckers

they are now running around after negro

Goodbye, proud world I'm going home:
Thou art not my friend; ! am not thine;

Too long | am tossed like the driven foam;
But now, proud world, am going home.
Goodbye to Flattery's fawning face,

To supple office, low and high;

Goodbye, proud world, I'm going home.

Whose groves the froic fairies planned,
Where arches green the liveoug day
Echo the blaCkhird's roundelay.
And evil men have never trOd
a spot that Is sacred TO thought and God.
oh, when am safe in my sylvan home,
mock at the pride OF Greece and Rome;
And when | am stretched beneath the pines
Where the evening star so holy Shines

When man IN the bush with God may meet
