fond of the pleasures of the table, full
of good humor, quick TO seea joke and
a lover Of a good story. What / now
relate is one that he tells of himself:
He is a railroad man occupying a re-
sponsible position on one of our great
lines. A few years ago there was a
crash on his road and the train on
which he was riding was knocked into
smithereens.. He was picked up as
n dead aud was stretched out in
some convenient place 10 await the
arrival of the doctors to officially pro
nounce upon his condition. BY and

his PROSTATE, motionless form and
pallid face and said: That poor fell

Then lie kneeled down. lifted up an
eyelid and saw a dull, e~xpressionless

this exciting incident OF the great
"Wednesday storm Of August, 1888,
II ever a man escaped "by the skin OF

During the severe blow, the fishing
schooner Randolph, anchored at Har'
Dor Delute, Campobello, dragged from
her moorings and went adrift There
was n o one on board, a the crew all
lived near by, and We're ashore for the
night.
In the morning the skipper, Capt
Malloch, went in search of his craft,
and found her on Spruce Island Point
He boarded her and hoisted the fore
sail. A stiff breeze from the west car
ried her off the rocks, but asahole had
been stove in her bottom, and she was
half full of water, she capsized and
sunk in ten fathoms of water.
Capt. Malloch jumped into the boat
which was made fast TO the stern Of
the schooner. lie tried in vain to un.
tie the line which held her, but the
strain was so great it was impossible
He had nothing with him to cut it
and as the boat vas fasting disappear

At an obscure station in northern
Iowa three years ago there were two
ladies waiting 10 take a train. A tramp,
drunk enough TO be ugly and quarrel
some, whose hand. like lshmael's, was
against every man, came in and
amused himself by directing insulting
remarks 10 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 10 him.
lie ordered the fellow out, and receiv.
ing abuse in return attempted TO push
bun through the open door, when the
brute pulled a concealed dirk and
stabbed him. The operator, knowing
it 10 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 il out" fell lifeless at their feet.

An incident in Halford's life which
illustrates his secretive power, which.is
essentially necessary in a private sec
retary, is found in the way in which he
was married. His wife was teaching
music i'm a female seminary OF n
Methodist persuasion in Indianapolis
when she attracted the attention OF
Mr.. Halford, and a warm attachment
sprung up between them. Miss Fitz-
reralds parents removed to Franklin,
Ind. and subsequently, to Elgin, Ills,
but separation did not cool the ardor
of the Young people. who correspond.
ed regularly, although the parents OF
the young lady had n o idea that mat
tiers were assuming a serious shape.
Miss Fitzgerald at length wrote that
her family we're to 60 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 q
rood opportunity TO have the nuptial
Knot tied, and he made his arrange
ments accordingly. When the family
reached indianapolis, Halford met his
fancee at the depot, put her into a
carriage, and they were driven to q
ministers house, where they were
quietly made man and wife. When
her family were ready to resume theii
Journey, their daughter NOW Mrs. Hal
ford, although the old folks knew
nothing of the affair, was at the depoI
TO accompany them. Halford badt
his bride good-by, she was whisked of
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 wenl
10 her home in Elgin TO fetch her
There he revealed their relations &c
her parents and took his wife 10 hei
new home. But one or two OF IN:
most intimate friends had any idea
that he was married until he brought

termined TO scale the cliff-like rock that
rises out Of the sea some half mile from

last $50 feet being straight up and down.
Despite the warning of the natives

long, he carried tied to his belt. After

Slowly the great falls of the Niagara
river are changing in shape, through the

underlies the hard rock that forms the
bed Of the rapids. 1t is almost q mis-
ONE now to speak Of the Canadian
portion Of the great cataract as the
Horseshoe Falls" and within a week
this designation has become more than
ever misplaced in consequence Of the
fall of a large section Of the bed rock in
the very center of the falls. So much
rock fell that an eddy below the falls
near the Canadian side of the river has
been narrowed more than half, and the
little steamer Maid of the Mist has less
difficulty than before in running into
the curve of the falls.

According TO the L ewiston Journal
some years ago a city physician setted,
in a village in the northern part of OK
ford county, Maine. In the spring ne
heard his neighbors tell of making sap
sugar. Preparing himself with the
necessary apparatus, he started for the
woods. Being entirely unacquainted
with the business, he tapped every tree
he came to. Afterward, in speaking Of
the matter, the doctor said that accord
ing to his experience the sap from the
spruce, fir and hemlock did not produce
SO much sugar as that from the maple,
but he thought it was of superior
quality.

Germans and Pofkers.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3o.-Conmercial
Agent Bramlette, Of Plaven, Germany,
has forwarded to the state department q.
carefully prepared report on the prohi-
bition Of American pork in Germany.
He shows that t.fis action has increased.
the importation by Germany OF canned
meats from the United States, and has,
also increased the production OF Ger
man pork about 8 per cent. per annum.
1t has, however, resulted In q general
reduction of commerce In meats in the
commercial world, and thinking Ger
mans now admit the Prohibition has
proved injurious to Germany. One re-
suit has been TO lessen the amount OF
meat consumed in Germany, which was
already comparatively small
