A Pullman sleeper conductor: Every
body who wants berth in a sleeper
wants the lower berth. l have been in
the employ Of the company for fourteen
years, and l have never vet had an appli-
cation for an upper berth. OF course,
the upper berth is not so easy of access
as the lower, but if you don't mind climb
ing to the upper berth you will at once
admit, after the night is over, that it is
the more comfortable of the two. The
ventilation is better and you are not SO
close to the rumblng noise. You are
more private than you are in lower
berth, and in case of accident you have
a chance of coming out on top. In hot
weather the upper berth is cooler than
the lower.
The lower berth, as you know, is made
up from the cushioned seats, which are

a man to fall out of an upper berth.

ference of a half dollar in favor of the
upper berth it would soon be in demand.

CUMBERLAND ISLANDS HEIRS.
A sad Story of the Man Who Married Miss
Stafford&S

The story of the queer marriage of
Frederick w. Engels, of New York
which was made public last spring in
the courts, is again attracting attention
III that citv. Mr.. Engel's fist wife was
daughter of the late Robert Stafford of
Georgia, miilioni4re and the owner OF
Cumberland Island. She died last year
leaving tour children, and the
courts awarded them $12l,O0 as
their mothers share of the Stafford
estate, and appointed Eugels their guar
dian. with an allowance of 81, 900 year
for their maintenance and education.
A short while afterward the father was
stricken with paralysis, and was placed
under the care of physicians. He was
introduced by his sister-in-law to q
handsome Ger nan woman. then known
As Francesca Margr tia Henchel, and on
Phanksgiv ny day year ago they were
married. The new wife endeavored to
supplant iher husband rs guardian Of the
children Of his first wife, and in that
way get possession of their incomes.
She also ran up bills to the amount Of
several thousand dollars. In addition to
this, Mr.. Engels accused her of ill-treat
ing him.
The unfortunate gentleman called i
his lawyer and his brother, and OH in
vestigation they discovered that Mrs
Engeis the second he'd been known for
years previous to her marriage as Nine.
Blanchard, and that her reputation had
not been of the best character. She en-
deavored to get her husbands friends to
pay her So, 900 to release her claims on
him, but they declined, and spir-
tied EngeIs away beyond her reach.
She discovered him, however, and by
some means reconciled him to her, bu,
while she was pretending to nurse the
poor cripple, she made l. II attempt to get
possession Of what mouey he had about
him. The lawyers managed to get rid
Of her again, and the case is now in court
to protect the ciIdren's interests.
Eagles had to be carried away from
his late New York residence on his bed
in a furniture van to his country seat,
twenty-six miles from New York, in
order to keep his tormentor away frou
him, and is now in a dying condition.
The New York Herald says suit has
just been begun in this State in behalf Of
the Engles children to recover posses
sion of cumberland Island, which forms
part of the estate Of the grandfather,
Robert Stafford, and which, it is
claimed, is illegally in possession OF
other parties. This island is said to be
worth 81 ZOO, 900.

LIZARDS THAT LOVE MUSIC.
They Followed WhlstIing Student Until
Scared OF by a Pensant.


Az Is well known, lizards of all colors
and sizes abound in Italy They lie bask-
ing on all the stones, they run along all
the walls, they peep out at every chink
and crevice; but as soon as they hear the
faintest noise they disappear with light
ming speed, and it is hard to see them
near and to observe them closely. Walk
ing carelessly and noticing the dear little
animals, darting now here, now there,
remembered the Greek statue of Apollo
Sauroktonos, who is always represented
as busted with lizard-Apollo, god of
the sun and of music.
Suppose l try" | thought, and softly,
quite softly, began to whistle dreamy
old German air, and behold! lizard lies
still as though rooted to the spot, raising
its little head in listening attitude and
looking at me with his sharp little eyes,
Without stirring continued my melody.
The lizard came nearer and nearer and
at last approached quite close, always
listening and forgetting all his fears. As
soon, however, as the whistler made the
slightest movement it vanished into some
crevice, but to peep forth again a mo-
ment after and to listen once more, as
though entirely entrancod.

After having made music to them for
awhile | cautiously went a few steps fur
th"r, whistling on in soft, drawing tones,

General Fisk, the late Prohibition
candidate for President, it seems, has
come to the conclusion that his party
made fatal mistake in New Jersey
last year by running third party
ticket, and thus electng a Democratic
Legislature. The General has become
disguised with the course pursued by
the Democrats, and now thinks it the
duty of every Prohibltionist in the
State to assist in the election Of Re
publican Governor and Legislature.
II is pity that the Prohibitionists
have not realized this fact long ago,
but instead OF doing so they have
always acted as though they wished to
place the Democrats in power. Had
they possessed the power TO do so
Grover Cleveland would have been re-
elected President, but while they failed
In this they did succeed in giving New
Jersey to the Democrats, and the con-
sequence is that all restrictive liquor
legislation enacted by the Republicans
has been repealed. This is only one
