FRIDAY EVENING. DEC. 80
Our First Locomotives.

The first locomotives in the United
States were brought over from Eng.
land by Horatio Allen Of New York
in the fall of 1920 or the spring of
1880, and one Of them was set up On
the Delaware and Hudson railroad at
Carbondale, Pa, but, being found too
heavy for the track, its use was aban-
doned. The first locomotive construct
ed in this country was built by the
West Point foundry at New York In
1880 for the South Carolina railroad
and named the Phoenix. a second en-
CINE was built the same year by the
same establishment and for the same
road and named the West Point In
the spring Of 1881 third engine was
built by the same establishment for
the Mohawk & Hudson railroad from
Albany to Schenectady and called the
De Witt Clinton. This was the first
locomotive run in the state Of New
York. The first Stephenson locomotive
ever imported into this country was
the Robert Fulton. This @gine was
brought out in the summer Of 1881 for
the Mohawk & Hudson railroad. 1t
was subsequently, rebuilt and named
the John Bull.

Tho EaqIet's First Flight.

a. B. Macpherson gives dramatic
account Of the first fight Of an eaglet
whose life from babyhood lie had
watched. One day he ventured to the
edge Of the cliff containing his cradle
and looked about Suddenly his moth
er swung past on silent wings and
'tried to tempt him from his fast
ness" But he was unwilling or afraid.
Again the mother lowered round, and
a wild, weird cry rang through the
glen. For the first time l had heard
the yelp of the adult eagle, the voice
Of the queen Of birds calling to her
young. The eaglet cheeped continuous
~ until he tapped to the very edge of
the abyss, listening to her call. And
now he, too, changed his cry; his voice
seemed to break, and the adult yell
burst from his throat. The eagles
called to each other, yelp answering
yelp. The young eagle gazed round
him, spread out his giant wings and
vanished forever from my sight among
the lodges below. The caglet had left
the nest and had flown"

Tho Tyrant In the Field.

There have been few commanders so
tyrannous as Lopez. the dictator Of
Paraguay, when, in the war Of 1SG3-IO,
it fought single handed the neighbor-
ing countries Of Argentina, Brazil and
Uruguay. Lopez, says Mr.. w. II. koe-
bel in his argentina" was wont to
carry the theory Of victory or death to
an uncomfortable point. "Oficers
were executed for mere remarks
whose tone fell beneath the standard
Of confidence that Lopez had set up
for himself. One, for instance, was
shot for having announced in the
course Of his duty that the enemy was
strongly intrenched! Another met his
end on account Of an unguarded
speech to the effect that the Para
guayan army was accustomed to count
the enemy's losses and forget its own"

Baboone and Water-

In Captain Drayson's Sporting
Scenes Among the Kaffirs" we find the
following: "Well," said Kemp. when
I go into n country where there IS not
much water l always take my ba-
boom" You don't drink him, do your
"No, but I make him show me water"
Glow do you do that?" I'm this way:
When water gets scarce I give the
Bavian none. If he does not seem
thirsty rub little salt on his tongue.
I then take him out with long string
or chain. At first it was difficult to
make him understand what was want
ed, for he always wished to go back
to the wagons. Now, however, he IS
we'll trained. When I get him out
some distance I let him go. He runs
along n bit, scratches himself, shows
his teeth at me, takes smell UP wind,
looks all round, picks up bit Of grass,
smells or eats it. stands up for another
sniff canters on, and so on. Wherever
the nearest water is there he is sure to
