The first regular t., service in Eng

1880, two days after the opening of the

scale; three trains each way on week
days and two ON Sundays were deemed
quite sufficient. The novelty of the
thing, however. at first and very soon it's
proved safety and efficiency. led at once
TO a much larger traffic than had been
anticipated, and as soon as the company
could obtain more rolling stock the ser
vice was increased.
For time people who had ventured
to risk their lives by the new mode Of
conveyance were the objects of admira-
tion for their courage or of contempt
for their foolhardiness; but one by one
the coaches had to be taken off the road.
and everybody went by rail.
The time occupied In the journey was
at first seldom more than two hours and
often less, the distance being thirty-one
miles; but even this rate was too fast
for some people, for a gentleman, writ
ing about six weeks after the opening Of
the line, Gays the speed was too great to
be pleasant and caused him TO feel some

The Care Of Rrushss.

Do not neglect your paint brushes.
Dip them in an old can containing ben
zine, kerosene or turpentine, then wash
thoroughly with soap and hot water.
Pearline is even better than soap; it re-
moves the color rapidly and does not i'm
jure the bristles If they are well rinsed
in clear water afterward. Put your
brushes in a jar, handles down, and
leave them to. dry. One Of the oldest
sights in an artists studio is the number
of brushes disposed in various artistic
bits of pottery in hooks and corners.
Some painters pride themselves on
owning many hundreds of brushes Of
every possible style and size. Handsome
brushes are ruined If LETT dirty; itmakes
the hairs come ont, but the large brushes
used in common work will not be in
jured by being left in water over night
If You intend to use them for the same
colors next day.
Burn your paint rags when You have
done with them. Oily rags are very In
fiammable and sometimes take fire spon-
taneously when left in heap in some
corner -Harper's Young People.

It was the lot Of young parson to be
embarrassed by the appeals of two young
women who wanted to marry the same
bridegroom. The first conner OF these
had scarcely told how her faithless lover
had actually put mp the banns In the
East End parish when the delinquent
turned mp with an idiotic grin on his
face and gayly appareled young wom-
an on hts arm. What could the parson
then young and bashful curate--do
but invite the trio into the vestry room,
there to discuss the business. Luckily
for him, 1t speedily leaked ont that there
had been no legal residence in his par
ish, which afforded him at once suffi-
cient ground for declining to perform
the ceremony.
On another occasion the awful dis
covery was made that the bride had by
accident been described in the marriage
license by her pet name. It was sug-
gested that an affidavit of identity sworn
at neighboring police court might re-
pair the blunder. This was done just In
time to complete the ceremony within
canonical hours, but the accommodate
ing clergyman afterward received
stern nAdmonishment from high quarters
mot to do it again. Maga-

rha Girdla Ia uaafnl.

A most useful article for ladies to
have in their possession is girdle, the
like of which friend of mine has Just
brought from Paris. The girdle is made
Of gold lace or fligree. substantial, but
not harsh, and is studded all over with
jewels Of various colors. The ends are
passed around the waist from the front,
crossing behind, and, again coming for
ward, are allowed to fall in front or on
one side, being fastened loosely shortly
below the waist. The ends are finished
off with gold fringe.
The girdle is most adaptable and can
be worn with a morning wrapper, a tea
gown, or an evening dress. When
saw it, It was associated with summer
tea gown of pretty design. The material
was combination of cotton and wool
in pale blue, with white stripes. It had
sailor collar, with narrow lace edging
and lace cuffs. The garment was de-
cidedly loose. and of fair length behind.

DIR. Goldziher refers to the occasional
luniolatry of the Jews. Queen or
princess of heaven" he writes. sis a
very frequent name for the moon. Even
in the latest times the Hebrews called the
moon the Queen Of Heaven and paid
her divine honors in this character at
the time of the captivity. What was
the antiquity Of this lunar worship
among the Hebrews Is testified (as has
long been known) by the part played by
Mount Sinai in the history of the He
brew religion. The mountain must In
ancient times have been consecrated to
the moon."
The peculiar symbol of Ashtaroth and
the other lunar deities appears to have
been heifer or figure with heifer's

A BRUTAL ASSAULT
Joe Stroud Is Compelled to Seek a
Place.
The Policemen Take Him i'm Charg
for Protection.
POLITICAL ENEMIES ASSAULT HIM
His Cleveland Beaver Seems to Have aT
Attraction for Rocks but He Is
not Badly Hurt.

a brutal assault was committed in this
| city last night by unknown parties upon
the person, of Joe Stroud, colored, of
Chapel Hill.
! Stroud is democrat, and attended the
ovation given at Raleigh yesterday and
accompanied the party from Raleigh to
Durham last night.
While upon the grounds near the
speakers stand, some miscreant or mis-.
creants, began to pelt Stroud with stones
or brickbats. and it became necessary for
the policemen to take him in charge for
protection.
| 1t is firmly believed that his enemies
were those of his own color, and that the
pelting was done because of his political
proclivities
A Cleveland beaver upon the head Of
colored man seems to have a peculiar
attraction.
We do not know what the result
would have been, had not the proper au-
| thorities taken the matter in hand.
Stroud is sober, upright colored man
and stands high in his own community,
and this act last night speaks volumes
tn 1t cannot be written.
We are glad to state that the man was
not badly hurt.
