human system is so wonderfoll,

this and many other deadly poisons,
but the fact Of this federation is Ito

positlvely that tabocco does them Dc
harm. 1t does. however, in multi.

and many are compelled TO disoon-

With nervous people, and there is 10
question that some cases OF Cheat

The Lambertville record. [volume] (Lambertville, N.J.) 1872-1968, 1892-12-07


It was on the Stormy division of the
c. B. and 9. it happened, when Superin-
tendent Dugan's jurisdiction embraced
that division. The east bound passen-
ger train, then called the Cannon Ball,
had on board five corpses, through
from Denver, in charge Of the train
baggage man. It was in June, and the
weather was hot. The baggage man find
ing the atmosphere in the baggage car be-
coming undesirable moved three boxes
containing a corpse each to the plat
form of his car outside, one on top Of
the other.
AS the train was nearing Ottumwa,
the baggage man upon looking out was
Mortified to discover one of the boxes
missing. Surmising that one of the boxes
had slid off in rounding curve, owing
to the high rate of speed the train had
been running, he wired Superintendent
Dugan Immediately upon arrival of the
train at Ottumwa, apprising him of the
loss. Dugan wired the section foreman
at Ottumwa as follows:
Patrick McGann-Look for corpse
ACos OA SdA4AAOh A1ctAA btAACo LlA4cS WCSb Vi
Ottumwa and report condition Of same
when found"
Patrick Immediately started out with
the section gang, and found the box in
tact and brought the same to Ottumwa
1t was seldom that Patrick received or
ders direct from the superintendent, the
roadmaster being his immediate supe-
rior. Consequently Patrick concluded
the time to win promotion had arrived,
and after reading Dugan's telegram over
for the twentieth time wired his super
intendent as follows:
ssMishter Doogun--I hev found the
koropse, and the koropse was died."
The operators approximations were in
vain, and Patrick would permit no
change in the message, saying:

Americas Natives Described.

This description of the natives as they
appeared to the English colonists in
Maryland was written in 1858:
They are very proper tall men of per-
son; swarthy by nature, but much more
by art; painting themselves with colours
in oyle, like darke red, which they doe
to keep the gnatts off. As for their faces
they have other colours at times, as blew
from the nose upward and red down.
ward; somewhat contrariwise, in great
varietie and in very easily manner.
They have no boards till they come to
be very old, and therefore draw from
each side of their mouthes lines to their
cares to represent beard. Their ap-
parell generally is deere skyns and some
furre, which they wear like loose man.
tells; and yet under this, about their
middle, all women and men, at mans
estayte, were rounde aprons of skyns,
which keeps them decently covered, 50
that, without any offense to chast eyes,
we may converse with them.
All the rest of their bodies are naked,
and at times some of the youngest sort
of both men aud women have just moth
ing to cover them. The. natural wit of
this nation is very quick and will con-
ceive thing very readily. They excel
in smell and taste and have far sharper
sight than we. II these people were
once Christians Gas by some signs we
have reason to think nothing binders it
but want of langusge), it would be a
right virtuous and renowned nation.
