"How will 1t be about Holsters and

Moses kicked and splashed fur awhile,

tho money, but the elder orter hev let up

Building Locomotives.

It Is reported that the Baldwin Locomo-
tive Works, Of Philadelphia, have, within
the past few days, received orders for fifty
six locomotives They include twenty
two for the Government Railway OF FIN
land, twenty-four for the Government OF
Brazil, and ten for the Grand Trunk Rail
way of Canada. The contracts call for
their completion by next January. The
company is also building number OF en-
gines for various railroads and other con-
Germs In our own country. From the above
II will be seen that the tariff has not
operated to drive foreign trade from our
countrymen, who are prepared to furnish
machines of various kinds Of superior
character for as little money as can be pro-
cured in any other part Of the world.

A Story of the Rail,

This story is told on brakeman on a
certain road coming to Atlanta:
He discovered tramp asleep in box
car, and, entering the car, ordered him out.
Tho tramp slowly raised his head and
in weak voice said:
my friend, l am dying with yellow fe
YER. For Gods sake, let nc die in peace!"
The brakeman jumped 30 feet in getting
out of the car, but he shouted to the sick
man as the freight moved off:
Don't tell EN- that l saw you!"-At
lanta Constitution.

ONE OF SYDNEY sMll,r,s JOKES.
The Son Was Sport, but the Fathe
Took Him Down.

The Son Was Sport, but the Father
Took Him Down.
The famous Sydney Smith had son
who was interested in horses, dogs and
sport. He was q talkative young man
and an agreeable companion for those
who had tastes similar to his own, but
he was out Of place at his fathers table
when distinguished prelates and digni-
taries Of the church were present When
the father was entertaining guests Of
this class, he seldom allowed the young
man to be present
One night there was to be dinner
TO which the bishop Of London and 9th.
er clergymen Of high rank had been
invited. The son begged to have the
privilege Of a place at the table, re.
marking that he seldom was favored
with the chance of making the acquaint-
ance of the gI'~lt clergy.
His father in reply said that the COM
pany would not be interested in stories
about horses, dogs, racing and such
matters, and that he feared his son
would be unable to adapt his converse.
ton to their tastes. The young man
promised not to talk, but to listen, and
was given permission to be present at
the dinner.
He was as good as his word until tho
company were nearly through dinner,
when there was an awkward pause in
which no ono seemed ready to start a
fresh subject In this crisis the son
abruptly turned to the bishop and aston
ished the company by asking:
'Is your lordship able to tell me what
was the condition of Nebuchadnezzar
when he came off the grasp
Sydney Smith, sitting at the head of
the table, was Mortified by this familiar
application Of sporting phrases to an in
cident Of religious history, and quickly
changed the subject, after remarking
grimly to the bishop:
II have always told my friends that
my son possessed what might properly
be called a stable mind"
The company laughed over the pun,
and the young man, after turning red
in the face, relapsed into silence, and
made no further attempt to adapt his
special knowledge Of horses aud racing
stock to the entertainment Of clerical /.
society. The scene between father and !
son on the following morning is not re- !
corded, but the father evidently enjoyed ,
the joke, and frequently told the iuci- !
dent to his intimate friends. Youths |
