THE corporations that use grade
crossings have been wonderfully sue
eessful in the courts in escaping the
consequences Of their brutality. Each
of them is a thousand times more
deadly than the trolley in midair

If the courts will look upon the cross
ing question with the eyes of just and
humane men instead OF with technical
goggles the problem may get on the
road to solution.

Under Dimeulties.

The methods employed by the Pari.
sian authorities for communicating
with the provinces during the siege of
Paris Were persevering and ingenious.
The principal means of sending letters
was by balloons and carrier pigeons,
but many other plans were tried Il
was almost impossible for a messenger
to get through the German lines.
Even when other difficulties could be
overcome, the danger of n search and
discovery of The dispatch was great.
Many of the messengers made in
cisions in the skin, and hid dispatch
under the epidermis. Others provided
themselves with hollow ten centime
pieces, or hollow keys, which could be
opened like a box and in which
dispatches could be hidden. One was
accustomed to hide his dispatch under
an artificial hollow tooth. These
dispatches, of course, We're written in
cipher, and covered only fragment Of
paper.
Attempts were made to cross the
enemy's lines by following the caves
and natural tunnels under the left
branch of the Seine, and by diving and
crossing the bed of the river in diving
suits, but these plans failed.
A curious scheme was the putting of
letters into little hollow spheres of zinc,
and5throwing these spheres into the
Seine or its tributaries, hoping that they
would float TO Paris. They did float TO
Paris, but not until after the arrnistice.
1t was supposed that they were shipped
by dams, or that they were discovered
and held back by the Germans until
the siege was at an end.
Another clever and economical de-
vice was the use of hollow glass
spheres with an orifice to admit the
dispatch. These were small and light,
they looked so like bubbles on the
water that it was impossible to distin-
guish them, they foated easily over
the dams and through the nets set by
Germans. They would probably have
proved very useful, had not the river
frozen soon after they were invented

"A soldier of the Union mustered out"
Is the inscription on an unknown grave

Shot down in sbirmish, or disastrous rout

Its iron wedges through the ranks OF brave
And doomed battalions, storming the redoubt;

All that thou hadst thy lif', thy very name,
And can give the nothing in return.

Magruder, the secession General, and
who for some time was in command at
Yorktown, did not belong to the tenn
perance society, and the boys, who were
now and then very thirsty, did not fail
to discover the fact--and perhaps to
speak very freely of it some
times. Among these same was
private Winship Stedman of
Fayetteville, N. c. On the day
after Stedman had performed an act Of
great gallantry in the scouting party
from Bethel church, he was com
manded to appear before the General,
and the order was enforced by sec
ton of soldiers. He was unable to de-
eide whether he was to be shot or
reprimanded, until he reached the
Generals tent, and was sternly adj
dressed thus: Private Stedman,

Old Magruder drinks all the liquor in
Yorktown, and won't let you have
drop. You shall say so no longer, sir.

A Great Statue.

The famous statue of st. Peter at
Rome, of which the statue in the church
of the immaculate Conception of New
Orleans is copy, was erected in the
fifth century. Che colossal statue at
Rome, known to fame as Jupiter Cap
tolinus, was melted and made into g
statue of the Prince of Apostles. This
statue was destined to represent the
two great eras of human history. The
Jupiter that thundered at the Capitol
was preeminently the symbol Of the
power OF warlike Rome that conquered
the world by the power of arms.
But the Fisherman was raised to
spiritual supremacy by the power Of the
word of faith and love. Apd this his
statue we'll represents the power Of that
Rome whose empire has for it's founda-
Gons, Faith and Love. The Apostolic
robe was substituted for the triumphal
toga Of the old statue; the keys replaced
the javelin; and the hand upraised to
bless, the hand that launched the thun-
derbolt. This statue Of the Apostle
whose feet have been kissed with venera-
tion by the faithful for many genera
tions, stands near the Confession" on
one Of the sides of the great aisle Of st.
Peters Church at Rome.

STREET CAR BELLS.

The suspension of the strike of tn

to break into verse as follows:
We tinkling bells! We tinkling bells!
How sweet the tale your music tells!
Wen ride again. and walk no more
Till feet and temper both are sore.
We hail you with eXultant yells!
Oh tinklng bells! Oh, tinkling bells!
We iOlting ear! Ye jolting car!
oh. welcome vision that you are!
We thought you bad we called yOu hearse,
But we have found that walking 's-worse.
We know at last how sweet you are;
oh, iolting ear! Oh, iolting car!
Ye fiOp-eared mule! Ye hOp-eared mule!
oh, how we welcome back thy rule.
We cursed you once both loud and deep
And swore that you could only creep,
But now we know we werea fool;
Oh, fiop-eared mule! Oh fi0p-eared mule!
