A Railroad Train in a Forest Fire.

st. Nicholas for January.
The train, lessening its speed, was
soon oblige to creep cautiously be-
tween banks of rose-red embers or
solid cords of roaring wood-the wood
which had been cut and piled for
commerce. The pine-branches on the
fiat-car ignited, driving the brass
band into an inclOsed carriage for
shelter. Men with buckets dropped
to bitches beside the track and dipped
up water to throw on the train, creep
ing on the platforms again with
scorched clothes and hands and faces
blistered.
One who has never been in forest
fire can scarcely imagine its intense
heat, the acrid binding smoke, the
suddenness with which trees flash
from root to crown, and grass blazes
far from any spark, as if the earth
itself were burning, the furnace glow
of piled logs, the heated air from
baked ground.
Incredible sights showed through
that nightmare of fire. Moss-inclosed
stumps spurted flames many times
their own height. Young ferns
scarce unrolled, sprang green and
fresh from one side of log, while the
other side quivered in living Goals.
The train stopped. 1t could Greer
in retreat no farther, for its track was
burned, the rails warped into fantas
tic curves. BIackened and blistereC
paint ran down the car sides.
The doors and windows had all beer
closed to keep out smoke and sicken
ing heat. Every passenger in thu
carriage gasped for breath. The win
dow glass could not be touched. The.
could all see the wooden sides Of TIN
inclosure warp.
When the doomed train had hun;
minute in the midst of this furnace
some one opened door and SHOUTED
that it was on fire. Into the blister
ing, smoke-darkened air, and out up
on forest floor spread with ember
and quivering with heat, the peopl
all rushed. Women tainted and wer
dragged up and carried by their faith
ers or brothers. The escape-valve c
the locomotive was left open by il
flying engineer, but it uttered ii
steam wall briefly, being relieved b
explosion.
When days had cooled the forest t
blackness, a distorted boiler and som
rows of iron wheels were found wher
the train came to stop.

around the stems of the trees. Only

tested among the people in reference
to the decision OF the court, what it
will do in the mandamus case next

issue before Judges. who must be
looked upon as impartial, might seem
like a pre,udgment or an attempt TO
Influence the court, but those who
know the sterling, solid characters OF
the Judges, know that they are not
easily moved from the strict linc OF
duty by anything the press may have

only allowable, but desirable. An I'm

too much discussed in an intelligent
manner. The peoples liberties are at

collectors of the present day had they
been practIced in the days when our
fathers rebelled against the stamp act,
and the tax on tea. would have in
augurated another uprising OF the
people in defence Of popular rights.
Senator Gray did good thing to en- e
tighten the eyes OF the people when in
his defence of the collectors last Fri
day, he mlnutely explained the in
famous law Of 1873, and It's warrant
tor the extreme tyranny OF those col
lectors. There were many who had
often heard OF the law, aud bat few
who knew its real bearings. Mr., Gray
stripped 1t of its verbiage and plumage

ever, to show that whatever OF Srbi-

A Beetle That Eats Floors.


State Entomologist Lintner has re-
ceived from Howe's Cave a specimen
of beetle which has riddled a painted
kitchen floor in that place. The holes
are about quarter of an inch in diam
eter. The beetle is about an inch long,
gray. with black velvety dashes on its
wings. and the males have horns.
Prof. Lintner finds that the depredator
is the long-horned pine-borer Mono
hamus confusor). Its larva, or grub,
is the one that causes the injurious
and unsightly burrows so often seen
in pine lumber. In this instance the
grubs must have been in the pine logs
before they were sawed into flooring.
From some unknown reason the grubs
occasionally remain in dormant or
unchanged condition for long time.
In the museum of the Peabody Acad-
envy of Science at Salem, Mass, one of
these beetles is preserved which had
eaten its way out of the wood
of a pine bureau which was made
fifteen years before. AS showing
a greater imprisonment OF beetles
in furniture it is additionally said
that in 1876 son of General
Israel Putnam. resi- ding at Williams
town. Mass, had table made from
one of his apple trees. Out of this,
twenty years afterward, long. horned
beetle gnawed his way, and second
one burrowed his way out twenty.
eight years after the tree was cut down.

He Had the Last Word.

Amorg Washingtonian relics called
to notice this year is the epitaph Of
John Custis. father of Martha WASH
ington's first husband. His wife was
a good deal of Tartar; and so, in
deed, was he; but she managed to say
the last word in their wrangles.
When he died he left orders to his
son, on pain of disinheritance, to put
this legend on his tombstone, which
was done: Under this marble tomb
lies the body of the Hon. John Gusts,
Esq, of the city of Williamsburg,
parish Of Bruton, formerly Of Hun
gar's parish, on the eastern shore Of
Virginia, and county of Northampton,
age seventy-one years. and yet lived
but seven years, which was the space
of time he kept bachelors home at
Arlington, on the eastern shore of
Virgins" And so he had the last
word. San Francisco Argonaut
