running from what Is known a. Alexandria
junction, near Washington, to Shepherds

fessor Of an eastern college desired to lease
this short stretch Of track for the purpose
of educating young men in practical rail-
road work. In his letter he explained that

and energetic boys who could be thorough
" well grounded in the practical side OF

ties required in the railroad service. As

A correspondent Of Scottish Nights,

~ that the juggiers perform their tricks

course Of the Indian mutiny I made the
acquaintance Of one Of these gentlemen
OF India. who tried to instruct me how
to perform these tricks. He said It
was all imaginary on the part Of the
spectators, as he simply willed that
they should see these things. The most
exciting performances that he gave for
my amusement was the converting CT
