A Railroad Mans First Visit to the

What the Knight of the Rail Thourht
of 1t All and His Unique Comments
ON the Proceedings.

He was an old railroad man who had ac-
companied a Washington lady to the Capt.
toll.
He sat quietly taking things in for a mo-
ment and then said to the lady: Some
sumptuous. ain't it? Pretty as a Pullman;
but why don't they clean up the wreck?
Must have been a head-ender, from the
debris scattered around. Section boss ought
to get overtime for cleaning it away"
The lady explained that the debris was
the usual litter made by the Congressman
in opening and dsposing Of their morning
mail. Suddenly the railroad man discovered
that some one was on his feet addressing
the House. who has the right of way?"
he asked. The lady told him that 1t was an
appropriation bill, that was up.
Looks as though there was mighty
smooth running and a clear track. 1t most
generally is when the pay car is out. No
chance for hold up, either Whose run is
it?' The lady looked a little bewildered.
"Who is the engineer he asked, at
tempting to bring his phraseology inside the
limit of her comprehension.

He was told that it was Mr.. Kilgore who
was Directing.
well, the boys ought to ride him on the
brake beam and shake him up. He's got
no business obstructing the track when the
pay car has the right of way. The boss
ought to give him his time. Who's the

The Spring on Mount Mitchell.

One of the most singular springs /
ever saw Is on the top of Mount
Mitchell. 1t is on the summit and
is clear and cold. 1t has never been
known to go dry and is seemingly
without a bottom, as lines have been
dropped down to q great depth. As
Mount Mitchell is the highest peak
on the Alleghanies and the nearest
mountain of greater altitude is in
Colorado, about 1000 miles distant,
the query naturally arises as to the
of this spring.
The only conclusion is that it is a
siphon spring, but if so the water
flows at least 1900 miles and under
innumerable rivers and streams, un
der psipies and under mountains,
until it reaches the peak, where il
forces its way through a fssure to
the top. The water is remarkably
dear and pure and shows no trace of
