Too NJ uch Country.

General Longstreet. in telling Of
some of his experiences in the war the
other evening, said that during the
campaign of the peninsula he never
had any opportunity of sleeping, ex-
cept as his corps was passing him.
One night as he had dismounted,
leaving his horse in the charge Of his
orderly, and gong down into the an
giles Of one of those Virginia fences,
he overheard two soldiers talking,
which interested him considerably.
and, instead of sleeping, he listened
to them: One soldier said to the
other: 81 suppose it's all right that
we should march all night and fight
by day. OF course 1t is right that we
should ito that, for the love of country,
If nothing else. | suppose hat we

There is an old raftsman on the Sus-
quehanna river whose proud boast it is
that he has never been whipped in a
fight. This means a good deal, for the
sturdy rattsmen are all splendid speci-
men Fights over the most trivial
matters are of daily occurrence. "Ole
Dan," as he is called, says the New
York Journal, has now grown very
feeble and rheumatic, but he is neve
tired of rccounting his exploits as n
fighter when he was a young man.
The old fellow always Stoutly afirmS
that he has never been licked, but after
n good deal of pressing he can some
times remember that he once came
very near being soundly thrashed.
YES, sir, the nearest I came to be-
ing whipped was over twenty years
ago. I was carting n load of logs up to
the mill one powerful hot day in Au-
gust. The sun was a-shining fit to

COUNT
a Hume red Miles an Hour.

There is now being built at the
Baldwin Locomotive Works in Phil
adelphia an ordinary locomotive with
driving wheels of five feet diameter,
which the inventor says will, as
soon as completed, draw a train of
cars from Philadelphia to New York
in one hour. The Baldwins have
nothing to say. They are simply
building it fer w. r. Holman of Min
neapolis, an inventor, who has de
signed the machine. The locomo-
tive is not to be set on the rails rs en-
gines ordinarily are. 1t is to be plac.
ed ON what are known as the Holman
friction. geared trucks. which will
raise it thirty inches. The inventor
says.
at will be just like any engine, ex-
cept that each Of its driving wheels
will rest on and between two smaller
wheels, which in turn will rest on
and between three other wheels that
finally rest on the rails. The instant
the drivers of the locomotive begin to
turn they necessarily through friction
give an opposite rotary motion to the
small wheels on winch they rest. The
natural and inevitable result is that
N revolution of the locomotives
driving wheels by this multiplicity of
wheels in pyramid form carries the
engine fust twice as far forward in a
single revolution of the wheels as if
they were on the track themselves"

"Tabby,' the cat, manifested great

A barrel of Flour for n Bear.

A Presque Isle merchant recently
carried out a satisfactory transaction
on the principle that a bear. in the
bush is worth a barrel Of flour in the
hand, although in theory it was con-
trary to the maxims of Poor Richard
and all the other philosophers. A long,
lank fellow from the backwoods,
whose garb bespoke the healthy and
rugged poverty of pioneer life, came
into Rarker's store and wanted to get
a barrel of flour on credit. Being ask
ed what security he would give for the
bill. he admitted that he had no real
estate, neither a hoof 0 head of
stock and no personal collateral of
any description. except a wife and a
large brood of children, but he added
that he had just got on the track of a
bear, and if Baker was willing to
take the bear as security he would
shoulder his gun on next Monday
morning and camp right on his track
until he got him. 1t was a trade
