ALL ABOUT A BUGGY WHEEL.
A Negro Gets Doctor of Carr,llton Into
TrOuhla.

Trouble.
DIR. j. d. Hamrick one of the lead
ing physicians OF Carrollton, had a
pretty trick played on him lately by
small negro boy he had in his en-
ploy, says Waycross, Ga, special to
the Savannah News. The doctor has
a patient who has been seriously ill
for some days, and he has been spend
ing the evenings up to 9 or 10 o'clock
with his patient, and then his colored
boy would drive over after him and
carry him home Last night the
DOCTORS valet was u little late about
coming, and he walked home. Very
soon after his arrival at home the boy
came and explained that he missed
the doctor by going another street
which explanation the doctor accepted
and let his boy off, who seemed to be
enjoying his last drink very much.
Next morning DIR. Hamrick was ac-
costed on the street by a Mr.. Walker,
who wanted to know why the doctor
came to his house the night before
and took off one of his buggy wheels
and left broken one in its place.
The doctor treated the matter as a
joke at first, and not knowing that he
had another mans wheel on his
buggy, but he found out later that
Mr.. Walker was in earnest when he
meant to swear out warrant for the
doctor for tho theft of q wheel. The
doctor examined his buggy and found
that some one had practiced duplicity-
on him and he called on his negro
boy. who at first denied any knowl-
edge of the wheel, but when threaten
cd with the lookup, said he started
after the doctor and some of the boys
gave him drink or so and he thought
he would drive around while before
he went for the doctor, and while out
he ran against tree and broke the
DOCTORS buggy wheel.
He was near Mr.. Walkers house,
and he took off the broken wheel and
put one Of Mr.. Walkers on in its
place. He drove on short distance
further and found the new wheel
would not work on the DOCTORS buggy,
and he went to Hon. o. L. Reese's
buggy house and took q wheel from
his buggy and put Walkers in the
place. He next carried the buggy
home, and on looking round he saw
that Colonel Reese's wheel was black
and the DOCTORS different color, so
he procured some paint and painted
the wheel the same color as the doc
tors wheels. The boy made clean
confession, and the only punishment
he got was about 100 lashes with a
good hickory. The doctor says it is
o good joke on him.

AN INCORRIGIBLE.
A Philanthropist Who Tackled n Tough

A man came one day to the late earl
of Shaftesbury, philanthropist,
although nobleman, bringing a note
from the governor of Manchester Jail,
saying that the bearer was incorrigi-
BILE, and had spent twenty years in
prison. Shaftesbury talked kindly to
the fellow, and then said:
"John Spiers, shall make man of

eyer can try, but yer can't do it,"
was the discouraging answer.
Finally he agreed to enter reform
atory where the discipline was strict
but kind. After few days the earl

"By Gods help I'll go on, and I'll
succeed, too" responded the earl.
At the end of two years this man
was met by friend of Shaftesbury.
He was well-clad, healthy, and held a
good position in London.
"Ah," said he, sit was the earl's

THE SAFEST CAR.
The Middle of the Train by Far the Besi
Place to Be In.

The Middle of the Train by Far the Best
Place to BE In.
81 am very particular" said a COM
mercial traveller at down town hotel,
"what car of the train I select. travel
thousands of miles every year and have
made it rule to observe in the ac-
counts of railroad accidents which cars
of the train are most often demolished.
The result of my experience-for I
have been in q dozen smash-ups-and
observation is that the middle cars are
the safest. never under any circum-
stances ride in the rear car. l avoid
the car next to the baggage car, though
this is selected by many as the safest.
"The greatest danger at present in
railroad travelling is telescoping. When
man has been in q wreck and after
wards sees the engine of the colliding
train half way inside of the rear car,
or rather what's left of it, it impresses
him most forcibly. The baggage car
is usually heavily loaded and in the
collision its weight, together with the
ponderous engine, generally smashes
the next Car to splinters, while the
central cars are comparatively UNI
| injured. When the train is derailed
the baggage car and the next coach, as
q rule go over. The road-beds of our
great transcontinental lines are SO
solid, each section is so carefully ex-
amined, the rolling stock is so much
improved, that broken rail, broken
wheel or axle and the like mishaps are
reduced to minimum. But where
trains follow one another on minute
or two leeway and the block and au-
tomato signals don't work-well, look
in the papers the next day for further
particulars and see if my judgment is
not correct"

A SNAKE STORY.
A Blind Mans Narrow Escapes From.
Poisonous Reptiles.

Blind Mans Narrow Escapes From.
Poisonous Reptiles.
A writer in Chambers Journal
says that Richard Palmer, q blind
man, was walking in the garden Of
his country place in New South Wales,
led by his little child, about s years
old. In one hand Mr.. Palmer car
ried glass of water.
Suddenly the little boy cried in,
alarm, "a snake! snake!" and drop
ping his fathers hand fled to the ver-
anda
Mr.. Palmer stopped. If he moved
he might step on the snake, and he
knew too well that most OF the snakes
in that vicinity were venomous.
All at once he felt tho serpent
winding about his leg. The next mo-
ment he heard an angry hiss and
sharp blow was struck on the glass
in his hand. Involuntarily he dropped
the glass and leaped back BY this
movement he released the snake, on
whose tail he had been standing, and
it glided away into the grass,
Inc glass nad PROBABLY saved MS
life. Its glitter attracted the angry
snake and it struck ct that instead Of
at his hand.
At another time Mr.. Palmer was
sitting alone at table on which was
q glass of milk He was leaning ON
the table, his head in his hands,
wrapped in deep thought, when his
attention was arrested by the sound
of some animal tapping milk from tbs.
glass. Thinking it was the cat, Mr..
Palmer put out his hand to stroke.
her, but instead felt the cold, clammyl
body of q snake!
Startled, he sprang to his feet and,
called for help. The native servante
rushed in and killed the snake, whiG&
measured seven feet in length.

An Engineer,s Feat.

Speaking of the remarkable feats
Of marine engineers, the Marine Jour-
nal recalls the achievement OF Richard
Peck, who at one time had charge Of
the single engine OF the old City Of
Vera Cruz, coming up from Havana.
South of Hatteras the piston rod went
to smash, breaking into three pieces.
But Peck, after twenty-four hours OF
continuous labor, actually mended the
piston SO that it was strong and true
enough to do its part with the rest OF
the machinery, and he brought this
engine into New York harbor steam-
ing six knots. This was deed which
in the opinion of the Boston Journal.
quite eclipses even the recent not
able performance of Engineer Tom
linson OF the Umbria.

IN A FRENCH COURT.
The Panama Prisoners Before the High |
Chamber of Appeals.

The Panama Prisoners Before the High
Chamber of Appeals.
The French high court before which
Charles de Lesseps and NJ. Eiffel, were
tried is in the new Palais de Justice, on
the banks of the Seine, and is very
magnificent with rich panelings and
paintings.
All the preparation of a case in
France is done before it is brought
into open court, so that the judge is in
full possession of the prisoners testi-
mony, which has been wrong out of
him by the judge of instruction weeks
before hand, in his stuffy little cabinet.
He proceeds coolly to review this
testimony, cross-examining the prison
er, pointing out what he has already
said, enlarging upon incidents in his
past career, endeavoring, in short, in
every possible way to trip and entrap
aim.
The magistrate is usually assisted
by two others, and sometimes by four,
but these take no part in the examina-
ton. They have consultative voice in
the fixing of the sentence.
All the lawyers, as well as the
judges, wear robes, and that of the
advocates is rather absurd But they
have not retained the idiotic wig,
which is such q curiosity to Americans
who visit an English court.
The prisoner is kept waiting, before
and after trial in n small and almost
airless cell, and frequently passes the
whole day without refreshment.
The French still have the barbarous
theory that rough usage will make
prisoners tell more than can be got
from them by kindly treatment.
This is relic of the old Norman pro-
cedure of piling heavy stones on the
culprit's breasts, so that the horrible
pain would make him confess.

The Ancient Origin of the Pump.

The common water pump Of to-day
is but an improvement on Grecian
invention which first came into gen.
eral use during the reign of the
Ptolemies, Philadelphes and Ener-
getes, 275 to 221 B. g. The name.
which is very similar in all Ian
guages, is derived from the Greek
word 'pempo," to send or throw.
The most ancient description we have
of the water pump is by Hero Of
Alexander There is no authentic
account of its general use outside of
Egypt previous to its introduction
into the German provinces at about
the opening of the sixteenth century.
Pumps with plungers and pistons
were invented by Morland, and Eng
lishman, in 1874; the double acting
pump by De la Hire, the French aca-
demician, some twonty years later.

Bait in Angling.

A scientific paper tells of new fish
ing device whereby the minnow used
for bait in angling for large fish is
kept alive and safe from the pred tory
denizens of the deep, who strike at it
but catch hooks instead. 1t is incased
In glass tube, through which the
water circulates freely. The applica-
ton is new, but the idea of carrying
bait in bottle is as old as angling is.
There is one improvement to be noted,
however, as under the old plan the
bait was sure to give out sooner or
later, depending on the size of the
bottle and the ardor of the fisherman.

Not Sound.

A New Yorker forwarded to one of
his friends in the Vests set of Colonel
Ingersoll's works. Then he sent a
telegram. informing him what he had
done, and expressing the hope that the
books would arrive safe and sound.
A few days afterward he received a
telegram from his friend-who was an
orthodox Presbyterian-which ran this
way: Books arrived safe, but not
sound"

There will be no more boats out from

very promising at present. An effort
will be made to get the Bachelor home
so as to lay her up at Pittsburg.
The Iron Queen passed Marietta at
noon yesterday, and the Bedford is on
it's way down. The movements OF these
two packets will depend largely upon
the stage of water, and will not be an

A large proportion of the coal shipped
out from PittsburR since the close OF

all the coal to New Orleans and other
points South before the low water
