The True Vampire.

CHANGING one evening to observe a
which there was no other egress than by
the doorway, I was fortunate in being
able to procure light and thus to pro
coed to the capture of the animal. Upon
finding itself pursued, it took three or
four turns around the apartment, when
down dropped what at the moment
supposed to be its young, and which I
deposited in my handkerchief. After a
somewhat tedious chase, | then secured
the object Of my pursuit, which proved
to be fine female megaderma. I.then
looked to the other bat which | had
picked up, and, to my considerable sur
prise, found it to be small kind of pi-
pistrelle, which is exceedingly abundant
throughout India.
The individual now referred to was
feeble from loss of blood, which it was
evident the megaderEa had been suck
ing from large and still bleeding wound
under and behind the ear, and the very
obvisously suctorial form of the mouth
of the magaderma was itself sufficient to
hint the strong probability of such being
the case. During the very short time
that elapsed before | entered the out
house it did not appear that the depre
dator had onced alighted, and am sat-
-iied that it sucked the vital fluid from
its victim as it flew, having probably
seized it on the wing, and that it was
seeking quiet nook where it might de
YOUR the body at leisure.
| kept both animals separate until
next morning, when, procuring conve
nient cage, | first put in the magaderma,
and after observing it for some time l
placed the pipistrelte with it, No sooner
was the latter perceived than the other
fastened upon it with the ferocity of a
tiger, again selling it behind the ear,
and made several efforts to fly off with
it; but, finding it must needs stay within
the precincts OF the cage, it soon hung
by the hind legs to one side of it's prison,
and, after sucking it's victim till no more
blood was left, commenced devouring it,
and soon left nothing but the head and
some portions Of the limbs Beast and

Death of Col. Rumn.

Col. Frank g. Rnffin, second Auditor
of Virginia, died at his residence in
Richmond last Sunday morning. His
death was very unexpected, and was a
painful announcement to his many
friends. He had been in almost perfect
health up to the last, having been in his
office all day Saturday, transacting con-
siderable business. Col. Ruffin had been
in the service of the State government
of Virginia for number of years, and
was thoroughly posted as to all public
matters, which with his natural ability,
made him an efficient officer.
Gov. Mckinney on Monday morning
appointed Mr.. Josiah Ryland, Jr.. of
King and Queens county, as Second Aus
litor, to fill the vacancy caused by Col.
Ruffin's death.

Model Locomotive Engines.

The Baltimore and Ohio railroad has just
placed in service on it's Chicago division
three new passenger engines, built at the Bald
win Locomotive works, after designs fur
nished by the Observation-Disclosures of Motive
Power of the b. & 0. Company. The engines
weigh 113,000 pounds, have driving wheels six
feet six inches i'll diameter, cylinders 10 by "A
inches, and are without doubt the finest pas
senger locomotives running into the city of Chi
cago today. Companions of these new engines
have developed wonderful power and speed in
hauling the famous Royal Blue Line trains,
which run between New York, Philadelphia,
Baltimore and Washington, over the Phiadel-
phia division of the b. g. 0. railroad. The b. &
0. has added over forty new, high-olass engines
to it's motive power equipment within the last
sixty days, and others are under construction.
While constantly adding engines of approved
designs and highest grade to it's motive power,
and passenger coaches of Pullman standard
to it's rolling stock, the 3. & o. is also expanding
large amounts for additional second aud third
tracks and sidings and improved facilities at
terminal points. By the time the Worlds Fair
is opened for the reception OF visitors the b. s.
o. will be well equipped TO handle, expedicious-
ly. the large volume or passenger traffic which
will naturally seek this picturesque route from
the Atlantic sea-board to Chicago.
