The Disputed Road.

Every one has heard the story of the
two goats which, on narrow plank
bridge, butted and fought for the right
of way. A somewhat similar incident
took place day or two ago in Brooklyn,
between two freight trains at railway
crossing.
Traffic over the latter was delayed for
over an hour by the obstinate rivalry OF
the two engine drivers, who, having met
on the same track, would neither of them
consent to reverse their locomotive, and
thus make way for the other.
The two engines were facing one an
other, and the language of the two
drivers was anything but choice. Every
now and again they would interrupt their
arguing in order to pull their levers, and
attempt to force each others train back.
But the locomotives were equally
matched, both in power and weight, and
all efforts to push one another back into
the yard were doomed to failure. At
length the driver of the northbound train
saw an engine coming out of the shed,
and which was manned by couple of his
friends.
He Immediately signalled them, and
they came to his rescue by running their
locomotive up to the rear of his train.
Then both drivers started up their loco
motives simultaneously, and by Sheir
combined strength the south bound train
was successfully pushed back, and the
crossing cleared.
Several thousand persons witnessed
this contest of a novel and Characteristic.

Electricity as Moral Agent.

Electricity has stepped in mercifully
to alleviate the miseries of the early riser
on dark winter mornings. An arrange
ment has been devised by which con-
nection is made between the room clock
and the stove. The clock indicator is
set over night to any required hour, and
when the hour hand reaches that time in
the morning, an electric connection is
established with the stove, which is then
lighted by an electric spark. The sleeper
in the meantime is not disturbed. As the
temperature Of the room rises, however,
it is indicated by small thermostat, and
when it has reached a point of summer
like comfort an alarm is sounded. The
sleeper, Of course, is awakened, but the
act of jumping out of bed has now no
terrors for him, the morning ablutions
are performed without shudder, and
the necessity for occasional lapses into
profanity is checked. New York Star.

"Why, how is that, Mr.. President ?"
queried Chase in earnest and sympa7
thetic tones; Pm sure it could not
have been anything very serious"
"No, not at all, not at all |" cried the
President in his CHEEKY way. "You

tion to the Cabinet, and l have been a
little undecided where to place him,
in religious point of view"
"Well, Mr.. President" timidly ven
tured Chase, "I'm glad you satisfied
yourself upon such an important
point"
"Oh, yesp responded Lincoln, 81

subject now. You see Fessenden is a

Mechanics of the Chinese.

It is remarkable fact that the dwell
ers of the Celestial Empire, notwithstand-
ing their technical skill and their many
important inventions, stand on very
low plane in respect to the natural scien-
ces and their practical application. A
recent occurrence illustrates the backward
state of science in China. A firm Of
German electricians, by order of the
young Emperor, fitted the palace with
electric lights. The first trial Of the new
illumination threw the imperial cabinet
into state of CONSERVATION, because such
results could only be obtained, according
to their view, by the aid of supernatural
powers, very likely those of evil spirits.
1t was consequently decided to remove
at once the electrical lamps and machines
from the palace. In their astronomical
conceptions the Chinese stand yet behind
the age of Copernicus, believing that the
sun revolves around the earth, OF whose
form and the way in which it is suppor-
ted in space they entertain the strangest
ideas. OF course, in such a country as
tronomy, soothsaying and all the rankest
superstitions still flourish, and check
can only be expected from the gradual
influence of the many intelligent young
men who have studied in European uni
versities.
In the ordinary application Of practi-
cal mechanics, curious things are related
of the pig-tailed nation, showing that
Chinese education is based on ancient
traditions, adhered to with great peril
nacity. They display a knowledge Of the
principles Of the lever and the pulley,
but In the use of these appliances, known
in early antiquity, they remain at the
point that Europe passed thousands Of
years ago. In lifting heavy blocks Of
marble, by means of a scaffold, they tie
rope around a stone, carry it over a
beam, and with blight around another
beam below, while lever is suspended
from higher beam, its short arm connec-
ted by rope with the rope holding the
stone After one set of men have drawn
down the lever those holding the main
rope pull it tight, and workman above
slips down the knot of tho leyer-rope
for another hoist.

sheet of paper placed it upon the cabin
table with the ink; the pen was in my
pocket, huge old-fashioned pen that
slid in and out of cylindrical-shaped
gold case, and there was an amethyst
knob at the end of it. I took my seat
close to the cabin door and waited. In
about an hour the General, accom-
panied by two gentlemen, came aboard.
The boat steamed out, and I sat watch
ing both entrances to the cabin, SO as
| not to miss the General by chance.
John s. Peck was the first to retire
(although at that time I did not know
who he was). He wore shoulder
straps with two stars, and it occurred
to me would ask him for his auto
graph, too. He came through the door
by which / sat, and, rising, / drew my
pen out and asked him if he would be
kind enough to write his name on this
paper for me He readily assented,
and I thanked him as he passed on.
Adam Badaau retired next, and I
thought I might as well ask him for his
autograph-for he must be somebody
with Grant-which he gave willingly
and said, General Grant is on deck ;
if you ask him, he will give you his
autograph, too"
Of course, I smilingly thanked him
as he bowed me a goodnight" I re-
turned to my post and waited. It was
about 12 o'clock before the General
started for bed, and, as he came to-
ward the door where I watched, 1
stepped from out of the shadows and
advanced to meet him.
He stopped, turned, and walked
around toward the other entrance.
Nothing daunted, and with the assur-
ance of twenty years, I, too, crossed
over to intercept his way, and at the
same time put my hand in my pocket
for my pen. The General looked at
me, hesitated, and stopped. won
dered what he saw so remarkable about
me, but with bold bearing 1advanced
toward him, drawing out my glittering
pen at the same time. The General
drew back, keeping his eyes strangely
fixed upon me all the time, and could
not understand why he acted
so unaccountably. I bethought me
of the autograph, and with
some pompousness and unlimited
"cheek" I stepped forward, extend
ing my pen. The light cleaned on
the bulky gold holder, and the Gen
eral retreated from me. He was frigid-
ly firm, but uttered no sound. Of why
he persisted in this strange manner ]
was quite unconscious. I stepped for
ward again, irrepressible, at the same
time speaking-asking him if he would
favor me by putting his name-his au-
tograph-on this piece of paper. He
seemed to recover himself, gave little
sigh, as if of relief Seeing the pen, ht
took it from me, and going to the table
wrote his name. I called his attention
to the fact that it was Independence
Day, and asked him if he would ado
the date, "July A." also. He willingly
assented, and then bade me "gooa
night"
Three long hours I lay awake, won

eral Grant, and why I seemed to affec

Colonel, about this dog-stealing bust

dog, and when the owner called for
him wouldn't give him up until he

"Yes; hungry soldiers are excusable

"Why, you refused to eat any of the
sheep because, as you said, you couldn't

"And was mighty hungry"

And the war-scarred veteran hugget
