Turned the Tables.

The tables were turned in surpris-
ing manner on an exultant crook by a
smart Yankee deputy sheriff in York
county, Maine, last week. The deputy
was after the crook and came up with
him just across the border in New
Hampshire. The crook was safe from
the deputy's warrant there, but in or
der TO be safer he boarded train for
the interior of the state. That was his
mistake. The deputy boarded the same
train and took a seat near the crook.
At a point few miles ahead the rail
way track ran across corner OF Yorl;
county. Maine. The deputy knew this,
but the crook didn't. When the line
was crossed the deputy pulled the bell
rope, stopped the train, dragged the
crook out of his seat, put him Oil the
train and arrested him.

An Account with the Dentist.

Brown had the reputation Of being
the most miserable Of men, but he
plumes himself on his memorable sense
of justice. For fifteen years he owed
a dentist SIS for filling a front tooth
with gold, refusing to pay it because
he said the bill was exorbitant. The
other day the filling came out. He
took the gold to a jewelry store and had
it valued. Then he wrote to the den
fist and inclosed check for the
amount: Actual value Of the gold,
$780,; amount of labor (Which / deem
liberaD, So; for use of the tooth fifteen
years, So total $3.50. / return the
gold on account and inclose check for
balance, $40.

Mount Clair, in Montgomery county,
Pennsylvania, was named by BayarI
Taylor during the course of spring
day ramble in 1S47. Taylor's associa-
ton with the place should be sufficient
to incite a desire to spell the name as
he spelled it. The railroad company

originally must have been blind guess

it wasn't correct. 1t was near enough

says, WIN CJIuiht u
shis fearful crime are peaceable enough
In their rational moments, but seem
to undergo perversion of nature as
soon as their minds are confused and
excited by liquor.
The testimony OF all physicians who
have made careful study of the effects
Of drinking on the brain goes t., show
that liquor does not, as so ofgen en-
roneously stated, bring out D. mans
true nature" The doctrine of lin vino
veritas' is not sound. Some n IN, it is
true, only excite their natur Al pro-
pensities by over indulgence.
a naturally garrulous man III often
be so acted upon by the drink that his
garruousness is increased ten-fold. Ho
will talk until he is absolutely power
less to speak further. A man o solemn
temperament will usually be rioved to
tears. A man of beligerent to .dencies
will defy the world to mortal combat
when in his cups. A man of DO tic fan
cies will rival Milton in his ima snative
eloquence.
In support of the English doctors
theory many instances have leen cited
from the police records and tie family
histories" of murderers have been
closely examined. The result Is a power
tul argument for temperance. IN sew
enty-fve cases out of hundred it has
been found that men who have com
mitted an apparently uncallodfor or
unprovoked murder have been quiet
and well-behaved citizens in their sober
moments, but had been drinking to OK
cess just before committing the crime.
In the other cases the crimes could be
attributed to some set motive. The mo-
tive which largely predominated was
robbery.
An analysis OF tho cases in which
drunkenness has preceded the commits
sion Of murder seems to show that an
excessive use of liquor produces con-
dition of nervous tensity. The drinker,
no matter what his previous and normal
temperament may have been, suddenly
grows excessively irritable. He is an
rCyed to the pitch OF desperation by
trivial causes.
In an insignificant remark he detects
an insult. The playful banter Of COM
panion is interpreted as serious hos
tility. A friendly slap on the back is
regarded as a challenging blow. The
intlamed mind, like the law, has no
room for trifles. Everything is magni
fed. A slowness to obey on the part of
one who is accustomed to obey is con-
strued as a defiance of authority. A
wordy alteration is instantly trans
formed into a pitched battle, in which
deadly weapons are employed, abso-
lutely regardless of consequences.
In fact. the drinker pays no heed
whatever to the probable results of his
violent acts. Whatever the fancied
cause Of his sudden wrath may be, it
turns him into frenzied beast.
While under this fearful influence he
has been known to kick his wife in the
breast and stomach until she dies Ga by
no means infreqqent case), to beat his
mother to death, cut the threats Of his
to gouge out the eyes of al
Such acts do not constitute
in the sense that murder is a
crimc involving reconciliation. 1t is no
doubt true that in very many instances
of the sort the unfortunate person had |
no idea whatever Of committing muir
der two minutes before the violent act
was accomplished.

FOR GOOD EATINo's SAKE.
The Unique System Adopted by Railroad
Company to Have Its Dining Car Service
Up to the Best.
The following is an extract from the Lo-
per Of recognized authority in technical rail.
road matters:
"In connection with the through train
service between Chicago, Buffalo, New
York and Boston, the Nickel Plate Railroad
run their own eating cars, and they have
the men In charge Of the cara up to the
mark. There IL q grievance committee con.
sisting Of two superintendent, the superin.
tendent Of motive power, the regular trav-
cling representatives, and the general car
meal in the cars at any time and report on
anything they find wrong. These officers
mako lie Q burden to the Superintendent OF
the dining cars. There Is q good deal OF
pleasantly about the criticisms, but those
have reason to complain Of the victuals be-
ing cold or out Of season.
'"rhe dining car service on the trains Of
the Nickel Plate Railroad IL something that
strikes the traveller rs approaching perfec-
ton. With the system in force referred to,
there - not much room for kick from
snybody."
II conjunction with the above article we
feel 5ustt6ed in adding our compliments to
the painstaking management Of the Nickel
Plato Road. Il has been our good fortune
to have occasion to use this line In our fre-
quent trips from Chicago to New York city
and Boston.
While travelling in one Of the day coaches
on little 1aunt from Q local station into
Buffalo, was impressed by the cleanliness
Of the car. Tho secret was soon divulged.
Along came o colored porter in uniform,
dust cloth and brush in hand, and with q
polish here and wipe there, the seats, wtn-
dow stills and door were kept ecrupulously
clean.
The schedules Of their fast trains are con-
venient and the sleeping cars placed in the
regular daily service are of.the most luxuri-
ant typo Of modern car construction. Solid
trains are run between Chicago, Buffalo and
New York city and through sleepers to
Boston.
A fact worthy Of note yet remains to be
pointed out to the readers Of this journal,
which, perhaps, hos not come to the notice Of
many. Rates are offered between the same
points lower than those quoted by competi-
tors OF the Nickel Plate Road and from my
: experience their passenger facilities are ex.
called by none. A. POINTER.

hours we had been traversing the
frozen deep, and now, at II p. M, I de-
termined to descend and make trial
observation to find our latitude. The
gearing was changed and we descended
upon q somewhat elevated ice plateau.
The suns upper limb alone was visible,
though the horizon was sufficiently
sharply defined for all practical pur-
poses. After corrections for semi-di-
ametcr, dip, parallax and refraction,
l computed the SUMS altitude, and from
It, by an indirect method sometimes
used by navigators, I determined our
longitude to be 90 degrees 80 minutes
west, which proved that we had gone
eastward Of a true northerly course.
Having thus fixed the meridian and
the local time proceeded to take the
latitude, which I found to be 80 degrees
AZ minutes, or only 1s minutes or q
little over 20 miles from the pole. Ny
only course now was to pass over this
intervening distance by dead reckon
ing, dependent upon the speed Of the
vessel. AS there was still half an hour
to midnight we took lunch and com.
forted ourselves around the stove.
At five minutes before midnight we
were again rising over the ice-delds.
and steering straight for the eastern
limb Of the low, red sun. I allowed
seven minutes and half for covering
the IS miles, at full speed. and two de.
grees Of right ascension for the suns
travel during that time; and, taking
this latter element into consideration
in the steering, as the chronometer
marked the time, I signed to Auchin.
Gloss to reverse the gearing, when we
slowly dropped upon the desolate
scene. A blank landscape Of barren
desolation stretched on every side to
the limits of the horizon, and the weird
crimson beams of an impotent sun
shed q CHASTITY light upon this frozen
sea. No land, no soil, no vegetation, no
animal life, no still or flowing water
acted as relief to the death-like ma,
ture of the picture. It seemed as if the
dead inertia of the planet at this point
had transferred itself to everything
around. The stiffness of death pre-
vailed, and deep horror came over me-
as stood upon this mysterious spot
hitherto trod-at least, within the
period of our physical history - by
none of the human race. Beside me
