American and English RAILWAYS.

In England American railways are as a
rule the object of almost unmixed lauda-
ton. We see their marvellous cheapness,
their fexibility of adaptation to rapidly
changing circumstances, and the extraor-
binary technical ability with which they
are managed. On the other hand, we
pay little heed-perhaps because we have
a difficulty in imagining them-to the
personal preferences, the unjust discrim-
nations, the wild fluctuations of rates,
even the actual financial dishonesty,
which looks so large in the eyes of the
American public, and have given TO the
agitation In favor of more stringent state
control, or even of state ownership, what
ever force it possesses.
1t is worth noticing, therefore, that these
blots on the American system have no
necessary connection whatever with the
system of private management. 1t can
hardly be doubted that the railways of
England and the United States, whichever
stood first, would secure the first and
second place between them. In speed and
in accommodation, whether for freight or
for passengers, whether quality or quantity
be taken into consideration, in the energy
which pushes railways into the most remote
in the skill which creates a traffic
where no traffic existed before, they stand
today in the front rank, as they have stood
any time for the last half century.-W. ".

Early Electric Phenomena.

An Englishman put on a pair of
wooden stockings over his silk ones on a
cold winter day. At night he pulled the
stockings off without separating them
and was astonished by the cracking
noise and even the sparks of electricity
which followed. When he drew the silk
stockings out of the wooden ones the
electrical attraction was so manifest that
the stockings would incline toward one
another when held more than a foot
apart. 1t happened that the silk stock
ings were black and the wooden ones Of
light color, but when lie tried the expert
ment with both stockings of the same
color there was no electrical appearance.
This stocking experiment soon got to be
the fashionable 'fad" in England Ley
don jars were charged by the stocking
process, and great fun was had by Civ.
ing light shocks to persons and domestic
animals.

The Parents Went to the Theater.

Here is another warning for those care
less people who leave their houses and
their children to the mercy Of chance
Hans Peter jacobson, twelve years old,
and his little sister, who is not yet five
years old, were partly burned and partly
suffocated to death in their home, at AT
West Huron street, Chicago, few days
ago. Their parents put them to bed at Z
o'clock and then went to the theater. By
the explosion of kerosene lamp the house
took fire, but the flames were not noticed
until nearly midnight. A fireman rushed
into the burning residence and carried out
the children, but before doctor could ar
rive they died In the rescuer's arms.
AS the dead children were being carried
into a neighbor's house the parents came
rushing up. Mrs. Jacobson caught her
daughter in her arms, and when she found
she no longer lived fell faintinz TO the
sidewalk. The bodies were placed in the
parlor and Mrs jacobson was carried up
stairs The doctor, who was hastily sum
moned, declared her condition as precari-
Gus. The IRE was quickly extinguished.

A Cheap Flower Stand.

A little model comes from the piazza of q
southern country home. It was made by
the home carpenter, and has been repeated
in different heights for various corners. 1t
holds the brass hoped water bucket, in
the cover of which lies the cocoanut, or
metal, or silver dipper. This convenient
supply of fresh drinking water is marked
feature in the southern home, and there is
a peculiar charm and feeling of health and
purity about it.
A part Of beam, not too heavy, forms
the support; q round of cross wood the top.
This round may also form the base, or the
joints may be of separate pieces. 1t makes
q solid, firm stand, for the large tub Of
hydrangea. or the less luxuriant geranium
or begonia, besides the steps. Paint it
green or red.
If needed in sitting room or library, use
enamel paint, or the stain of walnut, oak
or cherry. Put covering of plush OF felt
over the top, and a deep furniture network
fringe around the circle. and it Is a firm,
handsome stand for bronze or china or
namental figure or large lamp.-House

The German Emperor and Speechmaking

The following anscdote is related of
the German emperor during his journey
in the iceboat to Stettin. During the
dinner on the Half, Herr Haker, coun-
cilor Of commerce, rose, and was about
to thank the emperor in the name of the
merchants of Stettin for the interest
which he had shown by his journey in
the trade and communications of Stet-
tin. The emperor noticed the intention
and forestalled him by saying: ''Dear
councillor, let Us leave this for today,
otherwise l shall have to reply, and we
are just now SO jolly. Your healthp
Of course the speech remained unspoken.

SOME TEXAS INDIANS.


The Alabamas Are Pretty Good Red
Men, and They Are Not Dead, Either.
| The Alabama Indians came from east of
the Mississippi river over 100 years ago.
They have been gradually reduced in num-
bers to about 220, of whom about sixty are
warriors. The name of the chief is John
Scott, and there are four leading, or rather
subordinate chiefs, viz, Billy Ponchy,
Washington Silestine. Charley Thompson
and Joshua Poncho. They have acquired
but little of the habits. customs, ETC., of
| civilization, clinging with tenacity to the
savage customs Of their race.
| They are generally honest truthful, and
| industrious; they are peaceful and very
grave in demeanor, yet at the same time
| very susceptible TO mirth when they per-
ceive things ludiaous A portion wear
the same clothing as their white neighbors;
others, the garb of their forefathers. They
are fond of ornaments, preparing them
selves beautiful work in beads and colors.
The men wear long black hair, and,
where they have not adopted the dress of
the whites, wear bright colored shirts and
buckskin leggings. The squasys dress in
bright colored calico, with Il profusion of
bead, tin and silver ornaments. The Ala
bama Indians take care of the old and help
less among them. They live in village
on Big Sandy creek, on tract of 1880
acres of land given them by the state of
Texas.
They have fields, and raise corn, cotton,
sweet potatoes, sugar cane and peas, and
have horses, cattle, hogs and poultry. They
raise sufficient grain for bread, and pick
cotton and do other work for the farmers.
They are also successful hunters. Their
houses are built of logs and slate, and, &C
customeG to the open air as the inmates are,
they are sufficiently comfortable AS might
be expected, the Indians are superstitious
and believe in witchcraft.
They are governed by their own tribal
laws, which are in some instances very
strict; they slay the murderer, etc. For
Indians they are a handsome and intelli-
gent tribe; their law prohibiting marrying
with the whites or colored race is strict.
They are expert bali players, and have the
following dances: The green corn, bear,
horse. frog, deer, bird, chicken, scalp and
war dances, and mimic the different ami
mails and birds in their dances. The Ala
bama Indians have been for some time in
structed by the Rev. Mr.. Curry and his
wife. MI. Curry is now dead, and Mrs.
Curry is still teaching them, and deserves
great credit for the care and attention she
has given them.-Galveston News.

A CHANCE ACQUAINTANCE.

Tohave met but once, but once,
And swept forever apart
On the worlds dark tide that rushes on
And sunders many a hearth
To have looked on eyes like yours,
To have touched such a rose leaf hand
And never, never again to meet,
But In Menory's dreamy Land!
Once In the lonely dark
It stabbed me through and through.
The sudden thought of your sweet Young
face:
And once, ere the early dew
Was dry ON the springing grass,
And the morning wind blew free,
I almost met you beneath the frs,
Where the path turns down to the sea-
And your smiling shadow lives
In the chambers of nay brain,
Where my spirit wanders, homeless ghost.
Seeking your face again;
And If you be living yet,
Or where, cannot know,
But my spirit clings In bootless dream
To our meeting long ago.

To Prevent Train Robbery.

The best suggestion to prevent train rob-
berry that we have yet seen comes from
George w. Durbrow, of this city. His plan
is to have rockets provided in all express
and baggage cars, and even in locomotives.
Then, in case of the stopping of train,
the first thing for messenger to do would
be to fill the rocket receptacle and shoot off
these warning signals. In this way the
whole country for miles around would be
aroused, and the escape of the robbers
would be almost an impossibility. If to
this the express company would add gen.
eral reward for any train robbers, then the
chances of these criminals getting away
would be very slight.-San Francisco
Chronicle

The Wife's Name.

Time was when ladies desired nothing
better than to be rid of the name which
they had inherited. But all things are
topsy-turvy row, and the custom of women
taking their husbands name is undergoing
considerable notifications. Miss Arabella
Stuart, when she marres Mr.. Tulking-
horne, becomes Mrs Stuart-Tulkinghorne;
when Mr.. Malaprop leads Miss Darlington
to the altar. she becomes Mrs PaYtington-
Malaprop. Il is very pretty sad very indie
pendent, but one is puzzled about the
daughters and what Will happen TO their
names when the custom becomes common
If ever it does become common. Miss
Partington- Malaprop married to young Mr..
Stuart Tulkinghorne, would be Mrs. Part
ington Malaprop- Stuart Tulkinghorne,
which would be worse than the Bridges

be no such difficulty. In Belgium, where

Big Collections in New York Churches.

A collection taken up at the church
which Cornelius Vanderbilt attends one
Sunday morning yielded S11, 800, al
though it was not an unusual occasion,
and no special requests for large amounts
had been made. At some of our churches
the Sunday collection runs frequently as
high as s., 900 or 81 900, and at Grace and
Trinity there are occasional collections
as large as $4,000. This one, however,
is believed to be the largest collection
ever taken up on an occasion not extra
ordinary.-New York Cor. Philadelphia

He Got His Clothes.

1t is surprising how neat some railroad
porters can appear with one uniform a
year, which includes two pairs of trousers,
and equally surprising how slovenly some
are before their clothes are three months
old. 1t is very awkward for these latter
individuals when their new uniform comes
late. One of this class in the West Riding
had to apply two or three times for his
new clothes, which were overdue, but still
they did not come. He knew that his gar
ments were worse than seedy, and feared
that they might fall to pieces, so as last
resort he wrote direct to the superintend-
ent telling him Of his trouble, aud adding
that should the uniform not come at once
he should have to adopt the charcoal sys-
tenn. A reply soon came back, asking for
particulars of the charcoal system. The
porter then replied.that, as different parts
of his body were becomingIvisible through
his clothes, he intended rubbing them with
charcoal for deceucy's sake. It is needless
10 say that the new things were soon sent.

sorrow that came after it. ssWin it b
like that-and that" she asked herself.
While it was yet dark she heard below
in the street the mufled rumble of cart,
and the cartman was singing. What
was it he saidi AS he came nearer she
heard in the mans deep voice, 'Wash
Me and I Shall Be Whittier Than Snow.
She knew not what the words meant
how could she? But over and over again
she kept saying the words to herself till
morning broke and daylight shone be-
tween the curtains, pale and strange.
Something, she knew not what, sent a
thrill through the little weak frame and
eagerly she peered across the room to
the streak of light that showed.
"Maman," she called by and by very
softly. But Felice was by her side in a
moment. She said nothing, but pointed
with one hand toward the window.
each, Pierre, Pierre, the snow, the
snow!" shouted Felice, in her excitement
forgetting the little sufferer on the
couch, who leant upon her elbow trying
to see the street below.
''Did not say" said Pierre. springing
to his feet. ''Surely God is good"
Together they lifted the little ones bed
to the window that she might see, and
she, with full heart, could not speak for
joy; only her lips parted and her eyes
overran with tears.
Marta and Babette were not long in
coming to see the little ones JOY, and
Sieur Antoine too, only he did not tarry,
but looked into the child's eyes and went
away to Pere Martin. They came to-
gether by and by, shaking the white
flakes from their coats and treading very
softly in the hall.
''See, the snow has come, father" said
Pierre, land she knew, the little one,
without seeing it, that it was come"
The little eyes were bent only on the
window, where without the snow lay
white and soft DER street and housetop
far as the vision went, but the priest,
kneeling down beside the bed, took one
little cold hand in his, saying:
''Sheis very near to God now; he told
her."
"The snow has come" said the child's
voice. 81 knew it would, God told me-"
Aye, God told her, and drew her
nearer and nearer to him, for with her
last breath the pale lips faltered out the
words she had not understood. "Wash
me and shall be winter than snow"
The snow was soon gone and with it
the little one, but to the white vault that
bears her name come often Pierre and
Felice, burdened with the grief of their
empty hearts. Marie still sells her candy
on the street, but in her tray is found no
longer the dainty bits for the "little one."
Alone in the court Babette still scrubs
and scrubs, but now, as never of yore,
the tears run down her round cheeks and
drop into her snowy suds. The roses
bloom and wither in Pere Martin s little
garden, and the orange blossoms fade,
and the fruit falls upon the ground. Up
stairs in his garnet Sieur Antoine plays
ever of the little snowfakes that glist-
ened in his way of the spirit that is
"whiter than now."-Patience Oriel in
Philadelphia Times.

a clever mot OF the musician Auber. He

Eggs at Easter.

Easter as festival day is celebrated in
various ways by people of different nation
alities and religions. Our cousins over the
sea have many old time observances which
we have never accepted, bat everywhere

''Will 1t SnOw! said the child, looking
up eagerly.
Il remember. Pierre, the last time it
showed here. 1t has been eight years
ago, for the little one had not come to
US then. I remember it looked still and
gray like this before the snow fell" said
Felice.
Eyes, l remember" said Babette, "and
l would not cover my tubs, thinking to
catch the rain l thought was coming,
and the next morning were they not
beautiful!'
"Ah, is it so beautiful, the snow"
asked the child, lifting up her little hand

"Surely, surely answered Pierre;
"God is good"
will you not take your violin, Sieur
Antoine, and tell me how the snow
looks?" said Snow-white.
And Sieur Antoine played. Those
who knew felt the inaudible falling Of
the fakes, thicker and thicker, but gent
ly as the drawing of a shroud. Sieur
Antoine kept his eyes upon the little
face, and he saw her waiting. listening.
Suddenly 8 twsng of the strings and the
twist of his bow sent out as on the crisp
air the jingle of sleigh bells, the sound
of merry voices, and the child's face was
glad. But Sieur Antoine had forgotten:
with the sounds of glsdness there came
always for him the after note of sorrow,
and he played on and on in the minor
chords till the tears stood in the little
ones eyes. and Felice put out her hand
to stay him.
All during the night that followed
there sounded IN Snow-white's dreams
the merry SNOW music" and then tee
