A QUEER EXPERIENCE.

A Noble Deer stops q Train and Frightens
the Engineer.
From the Charlotte News
Who would think that railroad engine that
rested i'll q round house here yesterday WAS
stopped on Its way to Charlotte to prevent it
from running over two deer that. charmed by
the big yellow glare Of its headlight, stood on
the track and waited until the engine stopped
within ten feet of them2 Snch thing did oc-
cur. 1t WAS on Carolina Central railroad
and Frank Lewis ID the engineer who came
within an ace OF bringing load Of venison to
Charlotte.
The Charlotte-bound passenger train, Capt.
George Welsh conductor pulled out Of the
depot at Wilmington at the usual time Tues da y
evening made the regular stop at Hilton
bridge, another stop at Cape Fear and Yadkin
valley crossing, and was Just getting under
way f0 Meares Bluff when Engineer Lewis
saw dark object ahead on the track. He at
first thought It WIS man, but it did not
move he seized the whistle cord and gave the
cattle alarm. The objec: grew bigger. but re-
manned motionless, and the engineer threw on
the brakes. The trnin allowed up abruptly,
and as it drew near the object the engineer
saw something that astonished him.
There, just in front Of him. was . big buck
deer with u fine spread ~ antlers. The buck
Was standing in the center Of the track, starin z
directly into the headlight, and just behind
him, standing across the track and looking OF
the engine over the bucks shoulders, was a
beautiful doe. The engine got within ten feet
Of them, when its nearness threw the rays OF
the headlight over them, and the moment that
occurred they bounded from the track and dis
appeared in the darkness. The engineer was
almost unstrung by the novel experience and
he and the fireman talked deer all the way ia
Charlotte. Had he known what the objects
ahead Of him were he could have put ON steam
and bagged big mess OF venisoa.

When petty officer has been especially good
and has received three good-conduct badges he
is allowed to wear gold chevron: otherwise it
is always red. Specially marks and the eagle
are in white on blue cloth. and blue when on
white cloth. The graduates apprentice mark
is worn on the cuff of a warrant officers coat
and on the breast Of a seaman or petty officer.
The master-at-arms wears q chevron of three
stripes and an arch of three stripes, with the
eagle over a star on the latter. He is the only
petty officer that wears an arched chevron. If
you see petty officer with his device on his
left arm you must know that his is the port
watch. If his device is on his right arm that
indicates that he has a starboard watch. The
seamsns watch is denoted by a white stripe ON
the shoulder. If il is on his left shoulder he is
a port Waterman; if on the right shoulder he
is starboard Waterman. If he wears a red
stripe on his shoulder it indicates that he is in
the fire or engine room.

Speaking OF the Kansas display at New

the Kansas commissioner there fell because os
his sunny and genial disposition Frank
Bacon of Chanute was Kansas man 20 the
core and, therefore, il goes without saying that
he was an incorporating despiser OF the re-
bellion and ats fomentors. But l don't believe
that among all the host OF northern men who
spent the winter of lSS4-5 in New Orleans in an
official capacity there came away one with a
spark of hatred for the south left smoldering in
his breast. The open-hearted hospitality of
the people and their obvious wish 70 let the
dead past bury its dead did the work
Commissioner Bacon was no exception 20 the
rule. He learned TO know and esteem hun
dreds OF southern men. and became possessed
with the idea that such uncommonly genial
companions could not be perpetually plotting
to overthrow the UnioA as the politicians OF Lis
state continually did cry.
Vel, ii will be remembered that toward the
latter part Of the exposition season the old
''hberty bell from Philadelphia sent down
20 New Orleans upon a special car, yigilantly
guarded by folr stalnart policemen. The
board Of United States commissioners went out

and Besought the Robber to at least spare him

An hour later. as the Robber was taking
things Easy along the Road, he was met by :

that he be Seized and Searched When his
cash was brought to light the Mandarin ex-
claimed:
"Ah! he has too much money for an honest
man! Take il away from him and give him

Next day the sore and fmping Robber again
encountered the Peasant and he ct once fell

There are probably very few men in civilian
life who distinguish an admiral from
lieutenant by the uniforms they wear. Even
men who are well informed on the details Of
army dress are usually ignorant of the signs
that indicate rank in the navy, and there
probably is not single naval demonstration
where nine officers out of ten are not con-
founded by the great majority of the specta-
tors The same principles that underlie tho
army insignia are also present, however. il
those OF the navy The story Of the way in
which these came into being is picturesque
1t is alleged that the choosing of the marks Of
rank in army and navy was left to some of the
leading ladies of the country after the revolu-
ton. Martha Washington was said to have
been the originator of soma of the devices. At
all events the whole world was drawn upon for
suggestions and contributions. The heavens
were selected to contribute the devices for the
highest grades Of rank. From them came the
stars. most coveted by men in army and navy.
and descending to earth the eagle, because Of
its courage and lofty flight, came next. The
oak tree. being noble in proportions and en-
blematic of strength, furnished its leaves for
lesser ranks. The anchor. being distinctive of
the navy, was used to indicate it specially, and
silver was selected to rank above gold because
i. usually lies nearer the surface.

oughly understands tn e
marks OF rank in the navy
can tell at a glance not only
what place the tar holds.
but even in many instances
what special work is assigned
to him. In the company of
such a person a walk through
the navy yard is highly in
teresting MS well as instruc-
tive. In the first place, he
tells you, there are four
classes Of officers in the navy,
and each is designated by a
special set of devices. First
come the commissioned OIL
GERS Of the line. then the
commissioned corps officers,
then the warrant officers
and, finally, the petty OH
Gers. In the first two grades
are the Annapolis graduates
and officers regularly COM
'.aissioned by the President
and Senate. The third and
fourth are made up of ell
listed men who have been
promoted.
Az you stroll through the
navy yard with your guide
a man comes before you who
is evidently an officer Of i'm
portance. You can see that
by the dignity and gravity of
his demeaHor and the re-
spectfulness of the salutes of
