MARVELLOUS COURAGE.
Unpar alleIed Goodness Of an Innocent Man
tho Galiows.


on tho GalIows.
In a handsome mansion situated in "a
lonely part Of England there resided, few
years ago, maiden lady OF considerable
wealth, writes correspondent OF the
Philadelphia Press One morning she was
discovered foully murdered. Her man
servant, named Lee, was suspected,
arrested and convicted on circumstantial
evidence, and sentenced TO be hanged. SO
conclusive seemed the evidence against the
prisoner that no attempt whatever was
made on the part Of the public TO induce
the Home Secretary to exercise executive
clemency. The day of the execution hav-
ing arrived, the prisoner was led forth TO
suffer the extreme penalty. The rope 10 be
used, the texture of which was silk and
hemp, had been, as IS customary In such
cases, tested with the aid Of sand bags, and
was not found wanting. The bolt was
drawn and the prisoner was given drop OF
eight feet. The rope broke. The prisoner
walked, unaided, up the steps leading 10
the scafold, and after the rope had been
fixed again and the moose adjusted the bolt
was drawn for the second time. The rope
broke again.
Lee was by this time considerably
stunned. However, after the lapse of
few moments he again ascended, unaided,
the steps, and after doing all in his power
to allay the nervousness of the hangman,
assisted the latter in once more fixing
the rope. The prisoner placed himself on
the trap-door, the bolt was pulled, and the
cOnde mned man dropped once more out OF
view. The rope parted for the third time.
After considerable delay Lee once more
placed himself into the executioner's hands,
but that parsonage and the other officials.
horrifed at what seemed Divine interpo-
sition, refused to proceed further with the
business. The facts were reported TO the
Home Secretary, who at once respited the
prisoner, condemning him to Imprisonment
for life.
Three years later a woman who was
Lees fellow-servant confessed OF her
dying bed that it was she who killed her
mistress. She declared that Lee had no
connection whatever with the affair, and
stated facts strongly confirmatory to her
confession.
Instances may possibly have occurred IN
which an equal amount Of physical courage
has been displayed, but outside of the pale
Of fiction there can not be cited single
case in which bravery ever played more
conspicuous part than in the incident above
detailed.

Cars Run with Sails.

A Washington correspondence Of the Phila-
delphi8 Telegraph was recently looking
ct some models in the National Museum Of
curious cars used in the early days Of rail-
roading in this country, when Mr.. Watkins,
the curator, pointed out one particular one
that had mast and sail Experiments with
such cars were made on the Baltimore 6c
Ohio road and on the South Carolina road.
l. was then a serious question whether the
motive power on railroads would be sail,
horse or steam. The steam locomotive
was still looked upon as an experiment.
Sail cars are used to-day on a guano rail
road on the island of Maiden, in the south
Pacific. They are, in fact, used nearer
home than that, for railroad men at Bar
negat beach, when the wind is favorable,
frequently ride over the road on con-
structlon cars -sloop-rigged. The wind
has a good deal to do with railroading even
to-day" Mr.. Watkins said. If you go TO the
bureau of Intelligence at the Broad street
station, Philadelphia. and ask whether some
train, say from New YORK, is likely 20 be on
time. you may be informed that it is likely
to be four or fve minutes late, because
there is q strong wind from the west. Winds
make considerable difference ia the run

II has been computed that be-

millions of babies are born into
the world each year. The rate OF
production is therefore about sew

one for every beat of the clock.

10 be about equally divided, we

the reviewing officer would only
have seen a sixteenth part of the

In mixer words, the babe that bad

would be able TO toddie onward

are Instances are known in which
the child at birth has not weighed
more than a pound, and has yet de-
veloped INTO average proportions.
Sir Isaac Newton was such mile
at the dawn of ms HE that he
could esconce himself comfortably
in quart poi, and he was anything
but an obscure figure in manhood.
On the other hand, some children
that promised we'll as 10 size have
assumed dwarish appearance as
they grew up. This was the case
with one Naneite Stocking, a clev-
er little lady who WAS exhibited IN
London about a century ago. Ma
nette did not rise higher than ihlr-
ty-three inches in her womanhood,
while as a baby she was said TO have
been beyond the usual size. In
contrast TO this case Is that OF Dan
Iel Lambert, who entered life with
very modest dimensions Indeed,
but whose height and breadth at
the time of his death were. such
that the outer wall of his room had
to beremoved before he could be
buried. 1t used TO be considered
unlucky in this country to weigh
| babies, and the feeling on the sub
ject no doubt continues to assert
Itself in country places. Across
the Atlantic, however, the baby S
weight is regarded as of equal i'm
portance with it name; aud The
usual newspaper notice will have
AN addition when the avoirdup0ls
reaches satisfactory point, viz.
''Mrs. Washington Brown, son
twelve pounds" This is beyond
1.-The average weIght, but it is by nc
means the maximum. Master wy
brants, who was exhibited as "Ihe
Modern Hercules" does notappeal

but when four months old he turn

not be regarded even in imagina

gradually becoming fewer. No
only are more babies being borI
into the world, but the newcomer

than was the case fifty or sixty year
