THE car coupler bill is a law, and the
railroads of the country have got four
years in which to equip their freight
cars with uniform couplers. There has
been considerable discussion as to the
utility of this piece of legislation, but it
is probably safe to say that it will add
materially to the longevity of the rail
road employees. That is an ample excuse
for it's enactment.

The End of One Soothsaysr.

In ancient times every monarch and prince, great or little, kept his soothsay CTS, or at least had recourse to some per son who pretended to read the future in the stars or somewhere else. We have foretell the future, but the great differ snce between past ages and the present in this regard Is that then the great and often wise men of the earth believed in the soothsayers, while now only the fool ish and feeble have any confidence in them.
 The decline in the credit and honor of soothsaying dates in considerable meas ure perhaps from certain performance of John Galeazzo, duke of Milan. He, too, had a soothsayer. One day the reader of the stars came to him and said: ::
 My lord, make haste to arrange your earthly affairs"
 "And why shall I do thatr' asked the duke.
 Because the stars tell me that you have not long to live"
 ''Indeedi And what do the stars tell you about your own lease of lifey" asked Duke John.
 "They promise me many years more of life"
 "They doy
 "So have read them, my lord"
 "Wel, then," said the duke, eft ap- pears that the stars knew very little about these things, for you will be hanged within half an hourp
 He sent the soothsayer to the gallows with promptness and lived many years afterward himself. Star reading fell into disuse in Milan from that time.- Youths Companion.

The Smell Convinced the Judge.

Sauerkraut has hitherto been consider ed the most odoriferous compound inn ported from Germany, because. as an old song says, it is
 Cabbage which has lain in a very damp cellar. Till 1t smells so high it can smell no smeller.
 But very formidable rival has now been found to the national dish In 8 pe- culiar kind of herring, duly labeled, in accordance with the act, made in Ger many" which formed the subject of & law case before the assistant judge of the Westminster county court The mysterious herrings are sold in tins, their technical name being "Deutsche deli catessen, in other words, German tasty bits" A firm in the fatherland sent over some of these delicacies to Mir. Lingen, s restaurant keeper in the city, and when that gentleman failed to sell them, owing to their 20-horse power odor, 1t sued him for the price-e5 lis. Sd.
 The restaurant keepers defense was simple: "Dey smell the schoppe out, and I would get dree months if sell them. never smell anyting dat vas so high" His shopman's opinion was: "Mein herr, if you no get rid of dem smellerenest fish as ever smelied, ve will all die of de cholera" Stronger testimony was still produced. in the shape of tin of the "delcatessen, !" which was opened for the judges edih- cation. The court held it's nose until the box was carried out of the building and then gave a verdict for the defend ant. Mir. Lingen said he sold only one tin, and the customer who purchased it brought it back and declared that 1t was more powerful than all the 84 odors of Cologne combined.-London Letter.

A. A. McLeod's Last Move.

Mir Mcleod is now president of a railroad company, recently incorporated under the laws of the State of New York, with capital of $3, COG, ,000, called the New York, New England x Northern. It will construct 8 road, 50 miles long, from Leggett's Creek near Morrisania on the East River to point on the N. Y. < N. E. near Brewster's. The use of the Second Avenue elevated road has been secured. Engineers have sur veyed the road and the contracts for its construction have been closed and it is said the financial arrangements have been made and the needed money put up. If this scheme succeeds the New England will have secure access to the city. The terminus will be at 23d St.
 Col. F. K. Hain, general manager of the Manhattan Railway Co.,, denies that the new railroad company has secured the use of the Second Avenue elevated railroad.

Suicide of a Bank Cashier.

E. s. Francis, cashier of the Pittsfiefd National Bank, shot himself while sit ting in his chair in his apartments at the Maplewood hotel in Pittsfeld, Mass |, last Thursday. It was discovered sev- eral weeks ago that he was defaulter to the amount of many thousands of dollars, and he resigned. The condi- tion of the bank is sad to be solid not withstanding the cashiers defalcations. MT Francis practice was to receive money from depositors and convert it to his own use, sometimes speculating with it, instead of depositing it. He would very often merely give these de- positors an envelope with memoran. dunn on it that so much had been de. posted.

COL. BURROWS NARROW ESCAPE.

Col. Burton, of Middletown, who has been guest of Judge Granger, had a narrow escape from death or serious in- jury while attempting to board nov last Monday morning. At that hour four trains, from as many different di- rections, arrive and depart at Union depot, consequently the checking and transfer of baggage is no small or slow task. While Col Burton was attending to the checking or loading of his bag gage the tra1n started. The station platform was crowded with people but Col Burton, with heavy gripsack in one hand, made rush for the moving train. He first ran against the baggage master and nearly crowded him nnder the train. With one hand the Colonel grasped the railing on the front plat form of the car, but, being handicapped with the gripsack, he was unable to grasp the hand rail of the car or get his feet upon the steps He was dragged partly on his back along the high plat form while the gripsack fell between the platform and the car. On reaching the sloping or descending section of the platform the Colonels legs swung towards the car wheels. Quick as a flash, Mir John s. Reed jumped for ward and grasped one of the Colonel's legs while Mir John Nicoll grasped one of the Colonel's arms, and in this man. ner they supported him or carried him along until the train could be stopped. After the Colonel had pulled himself together and secured his gripsack and hat he got aboard the train which then went on it's way. We do not know whether the Colonel was bruised or not, but many of the witnesses of the acci- dent were nearly paralyzed with fright

A serious accident was only sverted between Copake and Boston Corners on the P, R. & N.
