An instance of mistaken appreciation
is told of the painter Constable. He
was one day leaving the Royal academy,
where he had been busy with his col
leagues of the hanging committee in ar
ranging the pictures for the exhibition,
and at the door he met Sam, the porter,
who had been helping with the mechan-
zeal part of the WORK.
They had just been moving into place
one of Constable's own landscapes,
painted in his characteristic manner
and full of the spots of light which he
was accustomed to introduce into his
pictures. well, Mr.. Constable, sir"
said Sam, that's picture of yours, sir.
Wonderful, sir!"
"Glad you approve of it, Sam" said
the artist, feeling in his pocket for a
shilling wherewith to encourage Sans
taste.
Wonderful, sir!" repeated the man.

A MYSTERIOUS ROADBED,



North Carolina RAILWAY.
While a representative was on his
rounds the other day in search of items
he met Capt. T. d. Meares, general
agent of the Seaboard Air Line, and
put the usual query of newspaperdom:
''What's the news"
Not thing" he replied, "unless YOU
want to make an item of mystery Oh
the Seaboard Air Line that up to date
has not been solved"
Capt. Meares then went on to say tina t
between the ~ and So miles posts on
the Carolina Central railroad there is a
piece of track for a distance of nearly
six miles that presents a singular con-
dltlon that so far amounts to an mex
plicable mystery. All trains going and
coming, 60 to grinding and start terri
BILE squeaking when they get on this six
miles of track. The noise comes from
not only one car, but every locomotive.
every coach and every ear of whatever
kind sets up grinding as if turning a
curve.
The noise is something like the
screeching of an OK cart that has no
grease on it. and it is made by every
truck in a train. The track is perfect
ly straight. and, as there is no curve at
all, the cause of TIE grinding and
squeaking has mystifed the railroad
people.
Every effort has been made to ascer-
tain the cause of the difficulty. The 10
comotives have been examined, the
coaches and cars have been scrutiniZed,
every cross-tie and every rail has been
inspected, every joint has been looked
at, and every foot of the track has been
regauged, but no explanation could be
found. The section master has almost
craWled over the six miles on his knees
in search of the cause: the road master
has tried his best to ferret out the mat
ter, and the superintendent has been
over the track and inspected it-all of
them making repeated efforts time and
Rgain to find out what is the matter
but they have given it up as a bad
Job. They have not only not been able
to discover the cause of the noise, but
have been unable to discover any theory
to explain the mystery.
1t is one of the railroad mysteries of
the age, and has been going on for 90
years. During that time the cross-ties
and rails have been replaced several
times with new ones, but without eff
feet. Who can explain the mystery p

Cleveland Able combats this view, and
