An Humble but True Hero.

AT an obscure station in northern
Iowa three years ago there were two
ladies waiting to take train. A tramp,
drunk enough to be ugly and quarrel
some, whose hand, like Ishmaels, was
against every man, came in and
aroused himself by directing insulting
remarks to them. The operator was
receiving an order to hold the coming
train, and did not hear. AS he passed
through the. waiting room to put out
the red flag the ladies appealed to him.
He ordered the fellow out, and receiv-
ing abuse in return attempted to push
him through the open door, when the
brute pulled a concealed dirk and
stabbed him. Tho operator, knowing
it to be his death wound, made no out
cry, had no word of reproach for his
murderer, no repining at his own fate,
sent no last message to the loved ones
whom this towards act had bereft.
He simply extended the flag which he
still held to the ladies, and saying
''Put it out" fell lifeless at their feet.

Lead Pencils.

Until the year 1864, when there was
| discovered Ill the county of Cumber-
| land, in the northwestern part of Eng
land, o mine of the best and purest
graphite, the lead pencil was un-
known to the world. This mine at
Borrowdale at once became very cele-
brated, and of course very valuable.
Pencils made of Cumberland graphite
were sold all over Europe, and were
highly priced everywhere The man
ufacture of lead pencils became very
important business, and the British
government, in order to protect the
new industry, passed laws prohibiting
the export of graphite to foreign lands.
Only certain quantity, enough to
supply the requirements of the pencil
makers, was doled out on the first
Monday of every month, and q mill
tary force had to be kept at the mines
to protect them from bands of marau-
ders.
For nearly 300 years England sup
piled the, world with lead pencils. and
then the great Cumberland mine,
which had added so much to the Golfers
of Great Britain, became exhausted.

ment is universally called black lead,
but there is not a particle of lead in it.
This black and glossy substance is
properly called plumbago, of which
there are several varieties, and is
compound of carbon and iron. One
of these varieties is fine grained, soft,
nearly free from grit and we'll adapted
for writing purposes, and this has re.
ceived the name of graphite.
When the mine at Borrowdale gave
out it became advisable to discover
some way of making the impure
graphite available for the needs of the
world. After many experiments had
been tried the ingenuity of French
man solved the problem, and we have
pencils now of better quality than
ever were made of the best Cumber-
land graphite by the old method.
understand that the present mode of
treating the plumbago, after it is pow
dered and purified, is to mix with it,
in certain proportions, powdered clay,
and then tho mass is moistened, dried,
pressed and baked, the treatment vary
ing according to the different grades
of pencils required. New York

Col. Lige,s romantic Marriage.

An incident in Halford's life which
illustrates his secretive power, whichis
essentially necessary in a private sec
rotary, is found in the way in which he
was married. His wife was teaching
music in O female seminary of the
Methodist persuasion in indianapolis
when she attracted the attention of
Mr.. Halford, and warm attachment
sprung up between them. Miss Fitz-
gerald's parents removed to Franklin,
Ind, and subsequently to Elgin, Ills,
but separation aid not cool the ardor
of the young people, who correspond
ed regularly, although the parents of
the young lady had no idea that mat
ters were assuming o serious shape.
Miss Fitzgerald at length wrote that
her family were to go To Chicago on a
visit, and she would accompany them.
They proposed to remain about three
hours in Indianapolis on their jour
ney.
Halford thought that would be
good opportunity to have the nuptial
knot tied, and he made his arrange
ments accordingly. When the family
reached indianapolis, Halford met his
hancee at the depot, put her into a
carriage, and they we're driven to
minister's house, where they were
quietly made man and wife. When
her family were ready to resume their
journey, their daughter (now Mrs. Hal
fordD, although the old folks knew
nothing of the affair, was at the depot
to accompany them. Halford babe
his bride good-by, she was whisked off
by the train, and he returned quietly
to his work at The Journal office.
He didn'tsee his bride for six weeks.
BY that time he had made arrange
ments for her reception, and he went
to her home in Elgin to fetch her.
There he revealed their relations to
her parents and took his wife to her
new home. But one or two of his
most intimate friends had any idea
that he was married until he brought
his wife to Indianapolis. Washing

It'll tell you a story, boys" said
Col. Ingersoll.
During the gold days in Califor-
nia," continued the colonel, lit was
the law that tho holder of claim
should be liable to lose it if he let il
remain idle ten days in succession.
Well, there was one fellow who had
been working faithfully, when he fell
sick and had to take to his tent. An
other fellow came along and jumped
his claim. The first man pleaded and
argued, but the. other was not to be
moved. So when the first man re-
covered he sued the interloper
Tho case came up before the JUS
tice. He was very sorry, he told the
plaintiff, but the law was absolute on
the question, and the. defendant could
not be ousted. No sooner had he finish
cd than the plaintiff jumped up and hit
the defendant a singing blow behind
the ear. The defendant fell over, and
tho plaintiff jumped ON him and be-
gan to pummel him soundly. The
constable ran up and was trying to
part the fighters when the judge arose,
and, pounding on the desk. yelled to
tho constable:
you, sir, leave them
alonel The law is tho law, but If the
gentlemen want to compromise they
mustn't be interfered with. ;"

G. d. Dempsey in The Architect,

to be observed in order to produce
good brickwork, viz, that the mortar
should be as thick as il may be, or as
nearly approaching the solid form as
is consistent with the degree of plas-
ITCHY essential for its proper distribu-
ton and penetration into the joints,
while the bricks should be thoroughly
wetted on the surface. BY these means
the adhesion between them is rendered
