As Sergeant Duffy was marshaling out
his prison guard and displaying his $50
military conviets yesterday morning at
Alcatraz Island he was assaulted by the
prisoners, pelted with rocks and thrown TO
the earth bruised and bleeding.
The cause of the onslaught lay In the fact
that Duffy has been ruling his sabordinates
for some time past with high hand, and
has incurred the dislike OF even his own
guard. The sergeant was not seriously
wounded,

"If the train is delayed at night, the
rear brakeman sometimes leaves an
other bit of fireworks behind him
when called in. It is 'fusee,' which
is a paper cone containing enough red
fire, inextinguishable by wind or rain,
to burn exactly five minutes, which is
the shortest length of time allowed be-
tween two running trains. The EN-
gineman of a following train must
stop when he comes to fpsee, and
not move ahead until it has burned
out, though he can calculate from its
condition Just about how far ahead the
nest train is.-Kirk Munroe, in st.
Nicholas.

"What is the danger-signal ?" asked
Hal, who was beginning to consider
these railroad signals almost as lmpor-
tant and we'll worth knowing as those
in which he drilled his football
team.
"Red for danger, green for caution,
and white for safety flags by day and
lanterns at night" replied the railroad
uncle, adding: 81 am sure you must
have noticed men at road-crossings
waving white flags to show that the
track was clear, as your train rushed
:'"Of course 1 have," answered Hal.
"Or the watchman on sharp curves
and bridges waving green flags as
much as to say: you may 60 ahead,
but you must DO so with caution?"
III don't remember seeing them" "
responded Hal; "but I'll look out tor
the green flags the very next time l
90 in the cars"
"a red flag or red light is impera.
tive" continued Mr.. Holden, land
means, Sound the call for brakes and
stop at opce.' There are other danger
and cautionary signals 1 think you
would be especially interested in"
added his uncle; torpedoes and fuses,
for instance. A torpedo upon the rail
is one of the most used and most re-
liable of all the danger-signals." "'
"But I shouldn't thing it would be
loud enough" objected Hal. why
don't you use something louder-say
cannon-crackers?
"Oh, YOU are thinking Of the little
paper-wrapped torpedoes, such as chill
dren play with; but they are not the
kind / mean. A railroad torpedo is a
round tin box, just about the size of a
silver dollar, filled with percussion
powder. Attached to it are two little
leaden strips that can be bent under
the edges of the rail, so as to hold the
torpedo firmly in position on top of it.
In this position when a locomotive
wheel strikes it with the force of a
sledge-hammer, it explodes with re-
port fully as loud as cannon-cracker,
that can be plainly heard above all
other sounds of the train. 1t is a
warning sufficient to arouse the engine
man, and to render him keenly alert:
"If train meets with any accident
or obstruction that bids fair to cause a
uelay Oh more tlldu q lCW SCSohoot thS
engineman sounds five short whistle
blasts (-..----). On hearing this
signal the rear brakeman must imme-
diately run back a quarter of q mile or
so, and place y torpedo on one of the
rails that his train has just passed
over. Then, going back about two
hundred yards further, he places two
more torpedoes rails length apart.
He then returns to the first torpedo,
and, with his red flag in hand, stands
there until the recall signal is sounded
from his own train. On hearing this.
he picks up and takes with him the
single torpedo, but leaves the other two
where they are.
"These two torpedoes thus form a
cautionary signal, and, TRANSLATED by
the next following engineman, mean
THE train ahead of you has met with
a delay. Move cautiously, and keep a
q sharp lookout The single torpedo
is an imperative warning to apply the
air-brakes, Shut off, and Reverse! !

A Careless Posture.

Grown people and children alike are
inclined to fall into. a very bad habit
of sliding down into chair and sit
ting for hours with the spine bent al
most in half circle. That this is in
furious thousands Of people who in
dulge in it never so much as dream,
but that it is the cause of many seri.
Gus ills those who have investigated
the subject are we'll aware.
The continual strain upon one side
of the spinal column, with the CORE
spending compressions on the other
give rise to nervous difficulties aud af'
fections of the brain. Dizziness, nau-
sea and blind spells are not infre'
quently the result of this practice
While the strictly upright position is
undoubtedly the most healthful, II
seems rather hard work to persuade
the young and Indolent to maintain
it.
Lazy people and those who love lux
ury have a habit of "slnmping," SC
to speak, into their chairs and re-
naming in a semirecumbent position
with the spine as nearly telescoped as
may be. That portion of the human
antony generally known as the back
bone was intended to be worn in an
upright position, and the constant
pressure of the. sections of the yer.
tebrae upon each other is productive
of various ills.

 "And yet" said Legrand, ''the solu- tion is by no means so difficult as you might be led to imagine from the first nasty inspection of the characters. These characters, as any. one might readily guess, form cipher-that is to say, they convey meaning -but, then, from what is known of Kidd, I could mot suppose him capable of constructing any of the more abstruse ptographs. made up my mind at once that this was of a simple species such, however, as would appear to, the crude intellect of the sailor absolutely insoIuble without the key"
 '..And you really solved it?'
 Readily. II have solved others of an abstruseness 10, 600 times greater. Cir cunstances and a certain bias of mind have led me to take interest in such rid dies, and it may, we'll be doubted whether human ingenuity can construct an enig- ma of the kind which human ingenuity may not, by proper application, resolve. In fact, having once established con- nected and legible characters, scarcely gave thought to the mere difficulty of developing their import. E
 ''In the present cases-indeed in all cases of secret writing-the first question regards the language of the cipher, for the principles of solution, so far espe- cially as the more simple ciphers are con- cerned, depend upon and are varied by the genius of the particular idiom. In general there is no alternative but exper- iment directed by probabilities) of every tongue known to him who attempts the solution until the true one be obtained but with the cipher now before us all difficulty was removed by the signature. The pun upon the word 'Kidd' is appre- i ciable in no other language than the English. But for this consideration I should have begun my attempts with the Spanish and French as the tongues in which secret of this kind would most naturally have been written by pirate of the Spanish main. AS it was, as-. stunned the cryptograph to be English.
 ''You observe there are no divisions between the words. Had there been di- visions, the task would have been com paratively easy. In such case should have commenced with a collation. and an analysis of the shorter words, and had a word of a single letter occurred, as is most likely Ca or I, for example,, should have considered the solution as assured; but, there being no division, my first step was to ascertain the predominant let ters as well as the least frequent. Count ing all, I constructed table thus:

 High on the mountain side, Long in Ihe dreary winter,
 Short in the summer tide: Just iu tn" breath between them, Pregnant with sun and showers, Starts from the earth primeval, Fairest of northern flowers All through the sunny summer ,n Lavish with wealth of bloom. She, too, hath shared life's fullness Hid in her forest gloom; Nurtnred with dews and sunlight Richly her buds are fed, Fresh while the summer fadeth, Fresh when it's flowers are dead. Then, when the rude winds seek her, Threaten her buds to blast, Fiercely assailed by winter,
 Fearless she holds them fast; Fast. till the spring draws nearer; Fast. till the days grow fair; Fast, till the April showers
 Quicken the chilly air Woke by the murmuring brcezes, Kissed by the shining sun, Up in burst of transport
 Starteth the prisoned one! Flushing in fairy clusters,
 Pressing a messy bed, Leaves of autumnal russet
 Over her soft couch shed. Close to the damp earth clinging, Tender, and pink, and shy; Lifting her waxen blossoms
 Up to the changeful sky. Welcome! our springtide darling, Fresh in thy virgin hue, Long as the oaks stand round thee Yearly thy charms renew
