A Fallen Sister.

In an Episcopal boarding school few
years ago the scholars and teachers were
assembled for morning prayer. The read
ing and singing were over, and all were re-
Stunning their seats when one of the young
ladies, Of very short and thick stature,
missing her chair, seated herself with a
thud on the floor. Nobody smiled. All
were too decorous for that. The fallen one,
embarrassed into the momentary loss Of
common sense, retained her lowly seat,
opened her prayer book and appeared to be
earnestly engaged in examining it's con-
tents.
This was almost too much for her COM
panions, and a smile began to struggle on
many fair countenance when the rector
arose and began reading the first morning
lesson. He read from the fifth chapter Of
Amos as follows: 1.-THE virgin of Israel has
fallen. She shall no more rise. She is for
saken upon her land. There is none to
raise her up" This was too much. The
voice Of the rector trembled as he looked
up and saw the fallen virgin The scholars
turned red in their faces, and the exercises
were brought to a hasty close.-Sunday

FIVE MILES UNDER GROUND.

There are tunnels on many of the rail
road lines of the country but there is
none which approaches the famous Hoo
sac Tunnel in extent. This great pas
sage way through the bowels of the
earth is very little les than five miles in
length. and is but one of the many strik.
ing features of the Fitchburg railroad
systematic great trunk line between
Boston and the West. The Fitchburg is
one of the most progressive lines in
America. The Fitchburg company has
fully demonstrated the value of lighting
and ventilating tunnels by illuminating
their great Hoosac Tunnel with 1850
electric lights, the tunnel having for
years been thoroughly ventilated by two
''chimneys' drilled through the noun
tain from thereof of the tunnel to the
top of the mountain range. The scenery
along the line of the Fitchburg is unsur-
passed east of the Rockies" The Deer
field Valley, through which the road
passes for many miles eastward from the
HoOsac Tunnel, far surpasses the famous
American Rhine" in the beauty and
grandeur of its scenery. 1t is hemmed
in by majestic mountains, which rear
their heads heavenward to such height
that oftentimes their peaks are bathed
In sunlight while their sides and the
neighboring country are drenched by a
he Wy downpour of rain. The valley,
with the limpid Deerfield river ripping
merrily along; the cottages of the farm
ers and villagers, and the fields of wav-
ing grain, the stately maize and the
green~tneadows, stretching out on every
side until they cover the valley and the
foothills and even encroach on the
mountain sides, forms one of the most
enchanting pictures the mind can con-
ceive. This is the vision which gladdens
the eye and delights the senses of the
traveller who has had the foresight to Sc
cure a ticket over this world -famous
line. The equipment of the Fitchburg
railroad is everything that could be de.
sired. The luxurious day coaches and
palace chair and sleeping cars ON this
line turn the a1noyances of ordinary
travel into unalloyed pleasure, and the
fare supplied en- route is of the most su-
periOr quality prepared by veritable art
lists in the culinary line. The foregoing
describes in a modest degree our inn
pressions and experiences on very re-
cent trip of the Fitchburg railroad, and
we commend this line to all who may be
contemplating trip from or to Boston
and the West.-Troy Budget.

A Dogs Gratitude.

A 10-year-old little girl had fallen into the
Tiber that day July 24) from the parapets
of the Ponte Margherita. The crowd who
witnessed the accident merely ran hither
and thither on the bridge and the banks
calling for some one to help the child-no-
body daring to do So Two policemen
spent the time in making inquiries as to
whether 'it was a case Of murder or sui
eide" The child meanwhile was visibly
drowning, when a dog-a workman's mis-
cradle dog, destined to end a wretched day
in the stabularia municipale Qost dogs
yard -leaped barking into the Tiber under
the eyes of all the screaming but useless
crowd.
The poor beast, accustomed to feed upon
street offal and to sleep in any shed it
could find, swan out to the little girl in
peril, caught her dress and drew her to the
shore. When he saw her in safety, the dog
jumped and bayed for joy, licking the
child's face and hands. 1t appears they
had been friends. The child had known
the dog in a mandatory at Pratt di Cas-
tello, and the poor animal was grateful to
her to her for some crumbs or caresses.
The crowd then tried to catch the dog to
see how an animal more brave than so
many men was made, but it ran through
their midst and disappeared. -Zoophilist.

Father Ohrwalder,

At the central entrance of the Refuge
home we were received by an Austrian
priest and conducted into II spacious apart
ment with whitewashed walls and marble
floor. Scarcely had we seated ourselves
before tall, thin man, with sunken cheeks,
long black hair and struggling beard, en-
tered the room and greeted us kindly.
1t was hard to realize at first that this
was really Father Ohrwalder; that there
before US in actual flesh and blood was the
patient, noble, heroic martyr who had en-
dured such terrible sufferings for the last
10years; who had been intimately acquaint-
ed with the mahdi and the khalifa; who
had enjoyed the personal friendship of Gen
eral Gordon, Emin Pasha, Slatin Bey and
most of those whose names are as house
hold words in connection with the Soudan;
who had actually been at Ell Obeid at the
time of the humiliation of Hicks Pashas
army; who was familiar with every nook
and corner of Omdurman and Khartoom
and who had so lately emerged from what
had been in literal truth the valley of the
shadow of death"
Plain, simple, straightforward and unaf-
fected, without the slightest trace of self
consciousness on the one hand or of mock
modesty on the other, ready to answer all
inquiries fully, freely and without exag
geration or reserve, Father Ohrwalder
might have been the most commonplace of
individuals for all the pretension which he
made to the contrary.
And yet as the conversation deepened In
interest and intimacy one became gradu-
ally more sensible, not only from his words,
but from the expression of his countenance
and from his general demeanor, that he in
whose presence we were was no ordinary
man.-Blackwood's Magazine.

Rousseau was type of the melancholic
temperament, assuming sometimes the
symptoms of a veritable pathetic insan-
ity. He sought to realize his phantoms
in the least susceptible circumstances;
he saw everywhere enemies and conspir-
ators, frequent in the first stages of in
sanity. Once, coming to his sailing YES
sci in England, he interpreted the unfa-
vorable winds as a conspiracy against
him, then mounted an elevation and be-
gan to harangue the people, although
they did not understand word he said.
In addition to his fixed ideas and delir-
liant convictions, Rousseau suffered from
attacks of acute delirium, a sort of ma
niacal excitation. He died from an apo
plectic attack.-New York Times.

Measuring Rhode Island.

The following incident heard related of
recent banquet. Captain Wimans of
Rhode Island was there. He is a venera-
BILE looking, but lively old gentleman, with
white hair flowing down over his coat col
lar and with a face resembling that of the
late Henry Ward Beecher. The toastmas-
ter arose to introduce Captain Wimans and
jokingly said: ''The captain halls from that
famous state Of Rhode Island. Let me see,
how many square feet are there in Rhode
Island, captain"
Quick as flash the little old gentleman
was standing, and with his white hair
flowing over his shoulders he exclaimed:
'Rhode Island is not measured by feet,
sir, but by heads. Seattle Post.

The Speed of a Cricket Ball.

The speed at which cricket ball is de-
livered by fast bowler may be roughly es-
timated at a mile minute. When Mr.. G.
T. B. Turner, the Australian bowler, Wis
tied Woolwich arsenal, he was requested
by an official to bowl through the electric
screens in use for measuring the velocity Of
projectiles. 1t was found that, at a point
representing half way between the wickets,
the velocity of Turner's ball was 81 feet per
second, or so miles an hour. At this rate
the ball would traverse the pitch in 227ths
of second. Several bowlers, however, as,
for instance, Mold, the Lancashire profess
sional, and Kortright, The Essex marvel,
bowl faster than Turner, and this would
bring the pace to the mile per minute. 1t

The Judges Excuse.

Judge Lowry of North Carolina was
most learned judge, who while practi-
toner at the bar unexpectedly lost case
for client who was justice of the peace,
and in his own opinion very learned one.
The judge was at loss how to explain the
cause satisfactorily to him when they met,
but he did it as follows: Squire, could
not explain it exactly to an ordinary man,
but to an intelligent man like you, who are
so well posted in law and law phrases,
heed only say that the judge said that the
case was coram non judice." "Ah," said
the client, looking very wise and drawing
a long breath, IF things had got into that
fix, Mr.. Lowry, think we did very we'll to
get out of it Os easy we didp'-Argonaut.

sYsTEMATIC HORSE STEALING.

Farmers in the northern counties of
this State and in Southern Vermont and
New Hampshire have lately been suffer-
ing from the depredations of horse
thieves. AS rule the thieves would
sell the horses in the vicinity of Albany,
usually below that city, and although the
operations have been carried on for sew
eral weeks, it has not until few days
ago that any of the stolen horses were
located. One stolen from S. r. Acker-
man of Orwell, a year ago, was found in
the possession of John Stoneburner at
Reidsville, Albany county; one stolen
from G.. II. Hawley of West Arlington
was held by Fred Couger of Reidsville;
David Albright of Delmar had purchased
an animal stolen from James Burke of
Greenwich, Washington county, and Mr.
Cummings of Reidsville, one that was
stolen from P. K. Clark of Bald Noun
tain, near Greenwich. Descriptions of
the thieves have been obtained and it is
thought they will soon be run down.

Buried Gold.

A ton Of gold is annually buried in the
cemeteries of the United States. A law for
the filling and plugging and plating Of
teeth with silver bullion would come right
handy in this emergency. If this use Of
rold for repairing of teeth goes on many
thousands of years, it is easy to see that the
entire stock on hand will be exhausted, and
that our remote posterity will be compelled
In self defense to resort to placer mining in
the old cemeteries in order to recover the
precious metal that has been wasted by
their ancestors.-Reno (Nev.) Journal.

MINISTER'S TELL IT.

WE HAVE OUR PASTORS ASSURANCE OF
THESE FACTs-THE WORD OF MINISTER'S
TAKEN AS THE STRONGEST PROOF
PERSONS BELIEVE THE PASTOR BEFORE
ANYONE ELSE IN THE WORLD.
There are no words so strong as those
spoken by the true m mister of the gos-
pei. One knows and feels instinctively
that such words come from the heart
and are prompted only by the earnest
purpose of doing good to humanity.
We do not wonder, therefore, at the
great influence with the public of the
strong and ringing words of praise
which the eminent divine, Rev. Q. ID. X.
Meacham, gives that most wonderful of
medicines, DIR. Greene's Nervura blood
nerve remedy. When he was run down
in health, Frustrated in strength, and
with his blood badly impaired, he was
restored to sound and vigorous health by
this marvellous health renewer.
Here are the exact facts in his own
words:
II am very glad to say in regard to DR..
Greene's great remedy that when my
blood was badly impoverished by an old
scrofula humor, and my nervous system
was greatly impaired, DR.. Greenes med
icine gave me wonderful relief.
AT the present time my health is as
good as at any time in my life, and my
confidence in DR.. Greene S remedy is con-
stantly increasing.

well inspired the Rev. DR.. j. w. Walker,

Fort Dodge, Ia, to also recommend DIR.
Greene's Nervura blood and nerve reme-
dy to the sick and suffering He, too,
has used it himself; he, too, knows that
it cures, that it is sure to make the sick
well if they use it.
Il have given DIR. Greene's Nervura
blood and nerve remedy far test, and
am free to say that consider it rightly
named. l have recommended its use to
