ACCIDENT on THE b. n q.
4 Freight Wreck East of Cameron. and
Ono Aiaa Killed.

Ono Maa Killed.
About midnight last night rumOrS be-
gan TO float about town TO the effect
that there had been a serious freight
week ON the Il. N o., near Cameron,
and that the main line was blocked.
Enquiry resulted in the miShap being
located at Cogley'S, three miles east of
Cameron, where there was some sort Of
a run-in or collision between the
third section of freight No. IS and third
section of freight No. 90. The accident
Oco',rred about nine o'clock in the eve
ming, auo the information obtained this
morning made n pretty certain that one
life had been lost, brakeman named
Moore being reported dead. Whether
or not there were other casualties could
not ba learned, but it is thought
the wreck Is bad one, from the fact
that the officials at the depot here stated
the passenger train from the east, due
about 1880. would not be in before day
light. The through train from the west,
due about 1885 a. M, was sent east via.
PittSburg, about 40 minutes late.

The Two Wishes.

The ancients relate a story of a priest
of Jupiter who had two daughters.
One of them married potter, and the
other gardener, and both lived in the
same part of the country.
One day the priest of Jupiter went
to see his eldest daughter, who had
married the potter.
MY daughter" he said, "are you
contented with your condition 2"
"Yes, very we'll satisfied" answered
the young woman, "only since We came
here TO live the weather has been very
trying. Just as soon as my husband
gets MS pots and jars made and puts
them out to dry in the sun, it grows
cloudy, it rains, then his work is
spoiled, and he has it all to do over
again. The great Jupiter will listen to
you, father, and | beg you will pray
him to give us at last two weeks of
sun"
Il will not forget it," answered the
father.
Next he went to see his Youngest
daughter, who had married the gar
dener. and he asked her the same ques-
tion that he asked her sister-if she
was contented.
Il should be- the second daughter
answered, IF the weather would only
be more favorable 10 us. The vege-
tables which my husband planted need
rain. We might make a handsome
profit this year if we could only have
some good showers. Now, father. the
great Jupiter listens to you, and L
want you to pray him to send us plenty
of rain during the next two weeks, so
that our gardens will be refreshed and
our vegetables grow"
The priest returned to his temple,
and this was his prayer:
"Oh, Mighty Father of all, I bring
to thee the requests of my two daugh-
tiers. Their wants are directly in. OPP
position to each other, for one wants
two weeks of sun and the other two
weeks of rain. | love my two daugh-
ters alike, and ] am certain thou lowest
all thy children the same Thou who
seest all, who know est all, who lowest
all. and who canst do all things, / am
satisfied to leave everything, even this,

The Australian Bush.

Once my friend suddenly drew rein
and motioned 70 me TO do likewise. For
few seconds ] heard nothing; then
sharp and clear through the silence ran
the crack of long whip, and l ex-
pected TO see some stock-rider, or per-
haps some strayed pack man, issue from
the scrub. But with quick hush"
my companion whispered to me that
what l had heard was only the whip
bird, and that what he wanted me to
see was lyre-bird, whose native note
he had heard a moment before close at
hand. Very shortly "A somewhat low
but sweet burst of melody, though
within a limited compass, came from Q
glade TO the left, the greater part Of
which was shrouded from sight by in
tricate fern-tree growths: with rapid
transitions the song thereafter rose and
fell. now initiating the joyous freedom
of the magpie, now the laughing gurgls
of the jackass, now other forest deni-
zens. Again silence, and then-right
in the midst of the fern glade-I saw
for the first time a bird L had often
heard of, and which / was anxious to
see. The lyre-bird, or mountain pleas
ant (Me1liTa S1tperbd), is extremely
shy, and though by no means rare in
certain districts, is thus comparatively
seldom seen. In size it very closely
resembles the common pheasant, and Is
of an auburnbrown color; but it would
not be a specially attractive bird were
it not for the large and delicately
graceful tall feathers, which, when fully
erected, exactly resemble the instru-
ment after which the bird is called.
Like the shark, and perhaps the cuckoo,
the mountain pheasant is generally ac-
companied by satellite, in this in
stance the latter being a small, jerky
little bird, popularity called the "pheas-
ants mother" but none such was visi-
bic to our eyes on this occasion. The
whip-bird, or coachwhip-bi referred
to Is generally heard in the scrub
proper, and has received its name from
its habit of ending its loud cry or note
with an abrupt crack, like that pro-
duced by the long lash of stock WI hip.

IL may look like o very easy thing
Tor "a member. having his speech writ.
ten. 10 deliver it during the course OF
an hour in the House, but il is not such
an easy thing as it looks. The average
speaker gets good deal of athletic
exercise in the course of an hours
speech. There are some members In
the House who can stand and read q
speech without lifting a hand except to
turn the pages, and almost without
changing position; and there are 9th
ers who can talk all day without get
ting tired; but the average speaker
perspires AZ If he were saving wood.
All off-hand speech of ten minutes
does not count, but the man who
throws his arms in the air as if whirl-
ing Indian clubs, hammers his desk
like a blacksmith, and dances all
around the place for an honr or more,
Is taking violent exercise. Experience
has taught some of them that it is not
safe TO make such speech without
taking extra precautions to avoid cool
ing off too quickly afterward.
/ know several members who take
extraordinary precautions. They do
not speak often. They know for weeks
beforehand that they are to speak, and
after all precautions are made for the
speech itself, and the day comes for
the effort, they have a servant bring a
complete change of linen and under
wear and a heavy overcoat to the Cap
itol. and wait with these things at
hand until the speech is ended. Then
the speaker, with the Precipitation
pouring off of him, rushes to the
cloak-room, where the servant stands
with the coat ready. and throws it over
his shoulder as soon as he comes within
reach. Next the member, with the
collar of his overcoat turned up high,
tucks his dry underclothing under his
arm and makes for the bathrooms.
Then he enters the waiting room where
the temperature is high and there
can be no ..draught, being under
ground, and waits to cool off a little
preparatory to bath. There is no
more work for him in the House that
day. When he has got his bath he
makes for his lodgings as fast as he
can, and stays there until thoroughly
