THE TELEPHONE TOLD HIM.

Two nights after the completion OF
the telephone line between Farmville
and Hampden Sidney, Va, one of the
largest tobacco warehouses in Farm,
vile was burned The fire was
thought to be the work of an incen.
| diary. Next morning a negro man
with bad reputation and very little
sense went into the telephone office.
WAITS dat ar thing you's talkin'
into, Mr.. Blanton p
''That's a telephone"

"Oh, yes; am busy now, but if
you'll come back in an hour I'll get
it to tell you who burned the ware
house."
II dun no ez l got time for dat
well, you'd better take time OR I'll
think you did it,"
AS soon as Sam left, Blanton called
up the other end, described the negro
and gave the operator the tip.
Sam came back in an hour, the
Hampden Sidney operator was called
up and Sam put the bell to his ear
This is what he heard:
1.-The person who burned the Plant
er's warehouse last night is a ginger
cake colored negro, five feet ten inches
high, little finger gone from left hand
Sans eyes began to bulge-'one
front tooth gone, wears a mustache
| and goatee, has three children, has
been in Jail for stealing a sheep from
Major Venable, and his name is
Sam
With a wild yell and eyes starting
out of his head, Sam bolted from the
room, jumped on a passing freight
train, and never came back to claim
the reward offered for him.-Firemaa1' S

Grown old, the mother is sometimes sor-
rowfully clear sighted and freed from the
blessed illusions of youth. When her chill
dren were little things playing about the
door and tucked into bed at night, all safe
and sweet and rosy, she had her dreams OF
their future There was nothing too bright,
too brave, too beautiful, for her imagina-
ton and her hope as she looked at her dar-
lings, sleeping or waking.
AS they grew older, went to school and to
college, or into the shop and the counting
room, the mother still dreamed and plan
ned, still wove her enchanted stories, in the
center of which she saw her children, heroes,
professors, scholars, benefactors, champions
of the weak, defenders of the helpless, orna-
ments of the age and renowned to be- Her
Frank, her Charles, her Sydney, whatever
others might GO, they were bound to excel,
to stand in the van, to reap the rewards, to
scale the heights, to discover the long hid
den secrets.
But there dawns day upon the mother
when, grown old, as wrinkles and gray hairs
testify, she renews the wonderful keenness
and acuteness of childhood; she sees the
dropping of many masks; she comprehends
things as they are. Past the hour of dream
ing and castle building, past the clouds and
the mirage, her vision is like that of one of
Gods angels.-Harper's Bazaar.

AN OCEAN TROLLEY.
The Latest Plan 30 Send Ships Spinning
Across the Ocean.

The Latest Plan 30 Send Ships Spinning
Across the Ocean.
1t is pretty well understood that the linn
it of speed in ocean steamers is about
reached if the present models are adhered
to, and that.i there is to be any gain in
swiftness it must be by the trial of a new
form. The difficulty is to devise vessel
of which the structural strength shall be
great enough to carry the massive engines
requisite for increased speed and at the
same time to resist the force of the ocean
storms. If the sea were calm, there would
be no difficulty in increasing the speed of
the ocean greyhounds," but with the ire
mendous force of waves and storms it is
not possible to do this with the present
models.
1t is not impossible that the solution of
the problem lies in the submarine ship,
and that the passenger steamer of the fu-
ture will go under water instead of across
it's surface The advance made in the
planning and working of submarine boats in
the last 10 years makes this seem not Who'll
ly impossible, as it must have looked once,
and there is no doubt that the freedom
from the effects of surface storms would
allow a swiftness which could hardly be
solve the question of seasickness, as it is
probable that submarine locomotion would
be much smoother and less disturbing to
the stomach than the present method of
travelling. All that one can say, However,
is that we shall see what we shall see.
Perhaps the steamer of the future will
be operated on trolley by means of sub
marine cable The advantages of this plan
I1o it ha
cessity of carrying immense quantities OF
fuel and of keeping the vessel loaded down
with enormous engines. All the delay and
difficulty and expense of managing fur
naces and engines on board ship would be
done away with by the oceanic trolley sys-
tenn, and the ship could be made SO much
lighter that it would go whiZZing across
the ocean in a couple of days Danger of
accident could be brought to be no greater
than it is at present by having sufficient
number of repair steamers on the route
which could keep the cables in repair, and
in case of any accident to the trolley could
bring the passenger boat into port or put it
again in connection with the cable.
There can be no question that the proper
means of crossing the Atlantic quickly is
by some system which will allow the mo-
tive power to be applied from the shore,
either by trolley or a cable. The limit of
speed for ships that carry engines and fuel
is certainly practically reached on the sur
face, and there are difficulties in the way
of submarine navigation which it would be
hard to conquer. The trolley system is
capable of great extension, and we may live
to 20 to Europe by it's means.-New York
Commercial Advertiser.

Robert Lowe, the well known English

and head, and she bore large part in her
husbands public life. One repartee ascribed
to her shows that she was at least ready
with loyalty of speech.s The French en-

The laurel wreath we flaunt to envious

The flower of Love we pluck for our delight
The mad sweet music of the heart that

An instant on the listening air, then dies
How short the day of all things dear and

The pageant of the Universe whirls by
