The life of a locomotive is from
twenty to thirty yeass Some have
lasted much longer, the baltimore
and Ohio's old 'grasshoppers" for
instance, which were shown at the
worlds fair. They were built in 1885
and were used as switchers at Mount
Claire rs late rs last spring. OF course,
certain parts of an engine wear out
quickly and have to be renewed from
time to time, but the frame, the
boiler and the wheels are good for
many years of service. Perhaps the
high rates Of speed at which trains
now run may shorten the careers of
engines, but as the new machines are
built heavier and stronger than their
predecessors it is PROBABLE that they
will Give" as long as those before
them.

Talking about snakes" said the
man who had worked as a telegraph
lineman in South America, ''you
ought to see the sarpints they have
down there. Me and my partner ran
across snake one day we was work
ing on the line and we thought at
first that it was log. 1t had just
eaten some big critter, for there was a
lump in its body, and it didn't show
any more interest in us than if we
were sticks We got big crate that
had come to the village near us, full
of dishes, and took it and a bottle of
chloroform down to his snakelets.
1--WE knocked him out with the
chloroform, and after good deal Of
work got him coiled up in the crate.
Then we carried the crate on a wagon
to the station with us, and took him
into camp on the train. He walked up
the next day, but the cuss wouldn't
eat. He just laid there and sorrowed,
and nary bite would he take even of
lamb we gave him. In about two
weeks he began to look thin, but he
still kicked on eating, SO we put HIM
in his crate in an clubhouse and left
him for two weeks more. When we
went to look at him again he had
changed his position and was now
coiled around in such a way that he
could get his tail in his mouth, and he
had about foot of it swallowed, just
to keep his stomach braced, suppose
"We moved just after this, and we
took Nero, as we called him, with us,
carrying the crate in freight car.
The car was an old one, so we were
allowed to run it off on a siding at
the station that we made our head
quarters, and here we left him while
we travelled inland to run line. 1t
was a month before we got back, and
we both made a break for the car;
but, gosh darn me, would you believe
me, there wasn't more than q foot of
that snake left He had swallowed
and digested about nine feet of him
self, and took off six inches more
before he died"

MAJOR WILLS TURKEY.

1t Was Tame and Helped Hunt the
Wild Ones.
"Tame turkeys can be trained to
hunt wild ones" said Major A. S.
Wills to the reporter. 81 owned one
called Dick, down in Polk county,
Tenn, that obtained a state reputa-
ton. l was offered 500 for him at
one time, but then thought he was a
phenomenal bird Since his death,
however have discovered, that the
talent for hunting wild turkeys is not
uncommon among tame ones. The
call of the wild fowl differs from that
of the domestic one, but the latter
can easily learn the formers calls, if
the hunter is patient enough to teach
him. The tame turkey can be taught
80 that he can be taken to the
woods, and will then send forth
the challenge call If turkey
cock is within hearing an answering
note of defiance is invariably made.
This is replied to and finally the wild
turkey will come very cautiously until
he sees the tame one, as he is sus-
picious creature. But when he sees
the turkey his fears are gone and he
starts at once to do battle. Then the
trained turkey runs and the hunter
shoots. The advantages of this
method of hunting are very great.
While hunter can initiate turkey
call pretty closely, there is an accom-
paniment made by striking the ground
with the wings which cannot be re-
produced, and without this the game
is suspicious The hunting turkey
must be taken in hand when very
yoang and constantly drilled, but
beyond the patience required very
little skill need to exist Spon the part
of the trainer"

AN ONION LIKE A. LILY.
It's q German Plant That Cures Colds
and Heals Wounds.

anu Wouuus-
In East Third street, New York, in
the window of tiny milk store, are
rows of what look to be lilies growing
in pots.
''How do you sell your lilies,
ma'am?" asked a man who thought
them such.
Lilies? What lilies?"
"Why, those lilies in the window"
"Those aren't lilies. They are
onions. The people buy the leaves"
"What for?"
That's medicine, for sores. If you
cut your finger or burn yourself, you
take leaf of that and pound it up so
that the juice comes out, and then bind
it on the sore place, and it is healing
Or, you take the leaves and stew them
up with leaf lard and make salve
with it. 1t is very good, indeed. Then,
for coughs and colds, you take the
bulb OF the onion and cut 1t up aud put
it in whisky with rock candy"
The woman showed the visitor that
the onions growing in the window
were different from the common
American white onion. The leaves
are fiat, like lily's, not hollow and
tubular. The bulb, which grows al
most out of the ground, is agreen of
the same cucumber tint as andalusion
pottery. The plant propagates itself
by little bulbs, which grow from 'un-
derythe parent bulb; it doesn't die
down every year, but keeps green all
the time, and it is not allowed to flow
err. The onion is not fit to eat; at
least the woman said so.
II don't know what you would call
1t here" she said, but in German it is
'maerz-zwiebel.'
That means marsh onion.

THE NEWCOMB CASE.
HIS DISAPPEARANCE FROM THE BOAT

PETERSBURG, VA, September D.

body reported to have been found near

answered In some degree the description
OF Mr.. Newcomb, proved not to be his.
Mr.. Ncwcomb's body can readily be iden-
tined by a sabre-cut on his hand and by
the fact that he had six toes on each
foot.
Several days ago friend OF the family
went down TO Norfolk and had a talk with
CAPTAIN Bohannon. OF the steamer Ala
bama. The Captain remarked that he had
never said that he saw Mr.. Newcomb
after the boat left Canton. II was before
the boat got to Canton that he saw MI

on the hurricane deck. Mr.. Newcomo' ne
said, had his hat in his hand as II ne was

OF the family that Mr.. Monroe, drum
mer OF Baltimore, talked with Mr. New
comb on the boat and that he was then
In Norfolk The friend Of the family went
to see Mr.. Monroe. who told his story
about as follows:

IL got on the boat at the Union dock,
in Baltimore. and met Mr. Newcomp.

business, and Mr.. Newcomb remarked
that he had been to my house during the
day. but that he could do better win me
than he could with my employees. After

comb replied that he was very tired ana
hardly thought he would eat any supper
and intended going to bed early so as to
get a good nights rest. i LETT him ana

the boat stopped at Canton. l returned
to the deck to see Mr.. Newcomb. Not
finding him where had left him, i prose
cuted my search no further, and did not
see him any more"
WAS HE DROWNED.
As Mr.. Newcomb. from this. was not
seen after the boat left Canton, ne either
got OFF al Canton or was drowned before
the boat reached that point: and If he was
not drowned what reason can be assigned
for his disappearance?
The same reliable authority from whom
the above facts were elected said to-day
that Mr.. Newcomb's estate was solvent;
that the estate amounted TO about |l5'VV'
and that his Indebtedness was not more
than 5000. In fact. the aggregate amount
OF his Indebtedness known to-day amount

sional District is said 10 be trying TO
make Mr.. Wilson's constituents believe
the ridiculous charge. Indeed, there are
we fear. but few Republican papers or
Republican stumpers who will refuse to
pretend 10 believe this unfounded report.
We say pretend TO believe" because Mr..
Wilson is well-known to be as pure
man as the country can point to as an
eXemplar OF all the virtues that should
dwell in the best of men. But II he were
las chaste as ice. as pure as snow" lie
would not escape calumny
Mr.. Wilson endeavoTed to impress upon
his hearers when he made his recent
speech in England that he had TO legis
late In favor Of the interests OF the United
States and not in favor OF the interests
OF the United Kingdom. Surely there
cannot be any danger that that speech
will injure his prospect Of reelection.
And yet we find In such respectable papers
as the Ohio State journal paragraphs like
the following:
THE acceptance by Hon. W. l.. VIII
son Of the invitation so kindly extended
by his English friends in London TO "A
banquet, 10 be given In his honor this
week is one OF the greatest blunders in
knowledge. 1t casts the millionaire din
ner given to Mr.. Blaine on the eve of
the national election in 1854 completely
in the shade. IL Is the ess nee OF impru-
d,nce and indiscretion. and that feature
of the affair should have at once sug-
gested itself TO the friends who appear
to have Mr. Wilson in charge during his
outing. If not 10 the bucOlic chairman.

unable to note the bearings OF the BAN
quet."
We are inclined to think that Mr.. VIII
son did commit a blunder; but We are
not ready to believe that 1t will cause him
TO be defeated Of reelection TO Congress.
II was. in fact. his unsuspecting nature
and absolute guielessness that induced or
allowed him TO accept the banquet which
has occasioned so much sur among the
protectionists His district is a large one;
but he mas resided in both ends OF it. and
the voters of the whole district know him
to be incorruptible.
