An Economical Rail.

Chief Engineer w. I. Manning OF
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad has
invented a new rail that experts say
has many points OF interest to rail-
road owners, the principal one being
its economical feature. It is well
known that rails wear rapidly on
curves and where these are short and
traffic heavy, the cost OF renewal is
very large. Manning has evolved a
section, which. he asserts. will reduce
the cost - per cent per ton per year.
he adds materially TO the life OF the
rail by placing additional metal in the
head and on the side upon which the
wear comes The new rail Will he

more and Ohio Railroad, the receivers

James Parton's Prediction.

In 1862 James Parton. the celeErot-

lowing prediction in regard to Abra-
ham Lincoln: History will say OF Mr..
Lincoln that no man OF a more genial
temperament. a more kindly nature,
ever tenanted the White House; that
he gave all his time, his thoughts. his
energies. to the discharge of duties of
unprecedented magnitude and urgency:
that. hating no man, he steadfastly en-
deayored to win the confidence and
love Of all the loyal and patriotic, and
that, in spite OF four chequered years
OF such responsibility and anxiety as
has seldom fallen TO the lot of man. he
bore away from the capitol the sunny
temper and blithe frankness of his
boyhood, returning to mingle with his
old neighbors as one with them in
heart and in manner, in retirement as
in power u happy specimen OF the men
whom liberty and democracy train in
the log cabin and by the rudest hearth

pie.

Tipped a King.

King Leopold OF Belgium gave his
annual garden party recently at the
castle OF Laeken, the beautiful grounds
of which are famous all over the world
The recurrence of the date recalls an
amusing event which took place a few
days before the fete last year i'm which
King Leopold enjoyed himself inn
mensely. with the bonhomle whicl,
makes him SO deservedly popular
among his subjects.
The king of the Belgians was neas
the gate Of Laeken castle one afternoon
according TO the New York Journal
when two well dressed, handsome Am.
erican ladies approached him and ask
ed him whether he had time to show
them the grounds. The king willingly
acquiesced and the fair Americans.
who took him for his own head garden
er. asked him innumerabe questions,
many of them indiscreet. about himself
on their way through the grounds
the party came face 10 face with tho
chamberlain, the Count d'Oultremont,
TO whom the king. politely removing hia
hat and addressing him with the ut
most respect said that he was taking
the liberty of showing the ladies'
round"
The count smlingly acquesced, and
the ladies were delighted. When theiI
VISIT was over They rewarded his maj
esty with a 10-franc pieces for hi.
trouble. and he with many bows. as
sured them that If an invitation to the
coming party were procurable they
should have it.
The invitation found its way to the
hotel where they were staying. and the
astonishment Of the ladies on being
presented (by the Count d'Oultremont)
TO King Leopold wss complete as they
recognized the amiable gardener of 2
few days before. Their l0-franc piece
was upon the kings watch chain where
IL has remained ever since.
