HONESTY REWARDED.
Generosity of the Man to q Newsb
Who Wouldn't Steal.

Generosity of the Man to a Newsboy
Who Wouldn't Steal.
A stout man of dgnifed department
stepped leisurely on Fourth-avenue car on
Wednesday evening. Shortly after he had
got settled a newsboy clambeFed on and said
''uxtry." The stout man selected a paper
and handed the boy a quarter. The boy
searched himself all over for change, as
though it was his custom to secrete money
In unexpected places, says the New York
Sun. His search was failure. He laid his
pile of papers on the stout mans lap, and
asked the conductor for change. The con-
ductOr had none, and the boy waved his
hand at the stout man and jumped off the
car. He ran to a fat woman who kept an
apple stand, and she shook her head. He
darted into store, and few seconds later
darted out again.
The car pursued its jolting way and the
boy was in danger of being left hopelessly
behind. The stout man fidgeted. The car
got to Canal street with the boy in hot Dur-
suit He had accOsted every keeper of a
frut-Stand on the way and bad popped in
and out of at least half dozen stores. He
was block behind the car and the stout
man grew terribly nervous.
The Car reached Grand street, and turn
ing the corner, left the boy out of sight.
The passengers strained their necks to
watch for the first appearance of the pur-
suing boy and finally he came tearing along
like mad with his head bent down, his ell
bows stuck in his ribs and the tattered ends
of his clothing standing out behind. He
caught the car, and plunging on board,
went up to the stout man and handed him
"a pennies.
The stout man gazed thoughtfuIly at him
and handed him another penny. The boy
grabbed his papers, touched his hat, said
"Thank ye." and disappeared.
Each passenger breathed a sigh of relief
and pondered on the old mans generosity.

INSECTS BLOCK A TRAIN.

A Species That Gave Forth a Sound Like
Exploding TOrpedOes.
As the freight train going 10 the large
limestone quarries near Brighton Corners
sp preached an electric light that hung over
a deep cut, dark, moving mass, extending
about GO feet along the track, was observed.
The engineer hesitated a moment, but not
being of an investigating turn Of mind de-
termined to plow through the obstruction.
As the wheels rolled over the mass a loud,
cracking sound. like the successive explO-
sinns of toy tOrpedoes, came from beneath
the engine. The progress of the engine be-
came slower, aud soon the driving wheels
began to slip upon the rails and the train
came to stop,
An examination revealed the presence Of
swarms of a peculiar insect which bore a re-
semblance to the electric-lght bug so we'll

nous pOssessors of the track were somewhat
larger, the outer she'll of the back being
about the size and shape of half shanghai
eggshell. 1t was this turtle-lke armor that
gave forth the cracking sound. The shell is
black, and partakes of the nature of stone.
An examination of the quarry showed small
holes bored in the sides, which were appar-

kind found upon the track are believed to
be a species of lithodome or rock-boring
mollusk. Those who claim to know see in
these the shadow of coming not summer
and precursor of the arrival of the dreaded
electric bug. To secure the shipment of the
stone 1t was necessary to let the loaded train

THE NEW WEBSTER.

Webster's International Dictionary is
the book which is destined to go into ey-
cry library, every public school, every
household where American literature is
received, and where the English Ian
guage is studied.
The publishers have spent more than a
quarter of million dollars in bringing
this work out in its unabridged, revised,
enlarged and authentic form. 1t now
takes the name international" and this
is intended to emphasize the fact that the
language of the mother country now en-
circles the globe.
Every page has been treated as if the
book were now published for the first
time. The claim of the publishers is that
it retains that excellence in definition
which has made Webster the safe and

nalist, scholar, artisan and man of bust
ness refer, and that in ptymology, pro-
nunciation, citations ~ pictorial Illus
trations 1t carries to greater perfection
the merits of its predecessors.
We believe that it abundantly justifies
these modest claims, and that, as COM
prehensive popular dictionary, it is likely
to retain the pre-eminence which has long
been held by "Webster's Unabridged"
No dictionary can be final, but for the
next 20 years the "International Diction-
ary' must be accepted as the best work
of its kind in the English language.
