An Hour at the Central Station Court.
A woman with a long chin and other
marks of personal beauty called at an
early hour and introduced herself to Bi
jah as a widow woman and the mother of
a twelve-year-old boy whom she could
not control.
'Can't control him, eh?" mused the oM
man, as h scratched his hiad. "What is
his worst feature?"
"Well, I can't keep bim in night," le
replie 1.
"Can't, eh?- And you want to know
what I'd do if he was my boy?'',
"Yes.''
"Well, I'll tell you, madam. In the
first place I'd order a car-load of railroad
iron. When I got it I'd lay the boy on
the floor on his back, and then I'd pile
the bars this way and that way, and across
and up and down till I had four ton3
holding him down, and then I'd tit down
on top the heap and ask him if he felt
like w hooping around.
"But isn't railroad iron quite costly?"
she cautiously inquired.
"Well, i t's a good deal cheaper than it
was, madam, but if you can't afford to
try that plan why don't you get an auger
about four feet long and bore it through
your boy, and into the back door?"
"It might kill him, Mr. Joy."
" ery likely, but isn't it better for vou
to kill him now than for him to watider
out West in his middle a;e and be choked
. to death with a chf.ip rope?"
"Then xti would kill him now, would
you?"
"I would."
"I don't see how I can. aad vet it mav
be the brst way," she said, and the tears
tell so last that she dropped her veil and
went out.
MORE OR LESS.
"Rufus Springer, I am told that vou
have been drunk more or less ever since
election," said the court to the first man
out.
"More or less!" echoed the prisoner.
"YeS, sir."
"Does that mean I have been drunk
more since election than before, or less?"
"Don't prevaricate, mutilate, or hesi
tate, Iiufus Springer, l"r the blue-jays
are siugiug, the fra3 looks green and
I've lots to do before Dame Spring throws
wide her golden doors."
"Well, I haven't been druuk m"re or
less. I was purry tight on election day,
purty sober the day after, and I can't re
member about the rest of the time.
There's a doubt about it, and you ought
to give me the benefit of the doubt."
"I will, sir, and I'll also give you thirty
days in the House of Correction."
"Pll die first!" exclaimed Rufus.
"Very well, sir, in the corridor there
you will find" a hatchet, a saw, a crow
bar, deadly acids and an old musket. Be
a9 neat and clean about it as you can, for
Hijah has just tidied up for Sunday."
0 WUT HE WASN'T.
"I wasn't no, sir, I wasn't, and I'll
swear to it till I cheke to death !" said
El mer West as he apeared.
"You deny that you were drunk?"
"I do deny it. I'm a sort of a ttranger
here, and I haven't got money to pay a
lawyer, but I want a fair show."
"You shall have it, Mr. West. The
officer found you in an old wagon in the
alley. You were gromiing and taking on
and calling for mashed potatoes. V hen
he roused you up you kicked and fought
and made use of the following expres
sion, viz.: 'Whaz mazzer now! Whaz
hotel zhid! Whaz mazzer wiz er moon,

and I'll leave it to 3011 if a sober man
would t ilk that way ?"

my palate drops down. Oh, no, Judge

"How do you know?"'
"Well, I'll tell you. I was composing
poetry on the stars when the oilicur came
up. I comp sed as follows:
'Beautiful, goltlen 6tar,

"Could a drunken man compose an ode
like th .t, your Honor?"
"I believe I've read that in some maga
zine," said the court.
"Never, Judge, I never sell any of my
poetry. I compose it for my own amuse
ment, and sometimes give it away to the
poor."
"Can you jump this town, Mr. West?"
thoughtfully inquired the court.
"Ye?, or three other towns just as big."
"How long will it take you?"
"I'll move on the word go, your Honor."
"Well, move, and do you be warned by
this little episode that, although Justice
may fool around a man for fifty lrDg
years, she's certain to get the grape-viue
twist on him at the end."

"I desire to give notice to this crowd in
attendance that I have lost my diary for

The Strongest Man.
Frederick Barnaby was educated at
I arrow, and thence, proceeded to Ger
many, where under private tuition, he ac
quired an unusually perfect acquaintance
witn tne rench, Italian and German lan
guages, and incidentally imbibed a taste
lor gymnastics. At sixteen he, the young
est of 150 candidates, passed his exami
nation for admission to the army, and at
the mature age" of seventeen fouud him
self a cornet in the Royal Horse Guards.
At this time his breast seems to have been
fired by the noble ambition to become the
strongest man in the world. He threw
himself into the pursuit of muscle with
all the ardor since shown in other direc
tions, and the cup of his joy must have
been full when a precise examination led
to the demonstration of the fact that his
arm measured round the byceps exactly
seventeen inches. His plaything at Al
dershot was a dumbbell weighing 470
nojnds, which he lifted straight out with
one ban , and there was a standing bet of
i'10 sterling that no other man in the
camp could perform the same feat. At
the rooms of the London Fencing Club
there is to this day a dumbbell weighing
122 poun is, and Captain LUrnaby is the
only member who can lift it above his
head.
There is a story told of early barrack
days, which brings pleasantly up a rem
iniscence of the Tichborne trial. A
horse-dealer arrived at Windsor with a
pair of beautiful little ponies, which he
had been commanded to show to the
queen. Before exhibiting them to Her
Majesty he took them to the cavalry bar
racks for display to the otticers ot the
Guards. Some of these, by way of a
surprise, led the ponies up stairs into Bar
naby 's room, where they were much ad
mired. But when the time came to take
leave an alarming difficulty presented it
self. The ponies, though they had walked
up stairs, could by no means be induced
to walk down again. The officers were
in a fix;. the horse-dealer was in despair,
when young Barnaby settled the matter
by taking up the ponies, one under each
arm, and, walking down stairs, deposited
them in the barrack yard.
But Cornet Barnaby was as skillful as
he was strong. He was one of the best
amateur boxers of the day, as Tom Pad
lock, Nat Langham and Bob Travcs
could testify of their own earned experi
ence. Moreover, he fenced as well as he
boxed, and the turn of his wrist, which
never failed to disarm a swordsman, was
known in more than one of the capitals
of Europe. Ten years ago everybody
was talking of the wondeiful feat of the
young guardsman, who undertook for a
small wager to hop a quarter of a mile,
ride a quarter of a mile, row a quarter of
a mile, and walk a quarter of a mile in a
quarter of an hour, and who covered the
mile and a quarter of distance in ten
minutes and twenty seconds. Fred Bar
naby had, while barely out of his teens,
realized his boyish dream and became the
strongest man in the world. But he had
also begun to pay the penalty of success
in the coin of wasted tissues and failing
health. When a man finds, after anxious
and varied experiments, that a water ice
is the only form of nourishment that his
stomach will ret tin, he is driven to the
conviction that there is something wrong
and that he had better see the doctor.
The result of the young athlete's visit to
the doctor was that he mournfully laid
down the dumbbells and the foils, es
chewed gymnastics and took to travel.
Starvation and Cannibalism.
A letter was received in Boston not long
ago from Captain K ine of the American
schooner F. E McDonald, dated at Goree,
on the west coast of Africa, Jan. 24, in
which he says that on his outlaid passage
from Boston, whence he sailed Dec. 17,
he fell in with the wreck of the Briti-fh
bark Maria, Captain Grayson, having on
board two survivors of a crew of fouitecn
men, the others having perished from ex
posure and famine. The wreck was dis
covered in latitude 37 deg. 23min., longi
tude 32 deg. 30min., with the masts gone
and full of water. The two men were
taken on board the schooner, but one of
them died in four hours from the time of
the rescue. From the sole survivor it was
ascertained that the bark was bound from
Doboy, Georgia, to Belfast, Ireland; that
she sprung a leak in a gale and rilled
with water, so that it was impossible to
save any provisions or fresh water. Tiie
lumber with which the vessel was loaded
prevented ber from sinking, but the
weight of the masts turned the vessel on
her beam-ends until the masts broke
away, when she righted, and the men re
gained the deck. Having no food or wa
ter, however, they soon began to die of
starvation, and as soon as one died the
rest subsisted upoa the dead body, and
so on until only two were left. The sur
vivor, whose name is James McLaughlin,
and who belongs to Belfast, Ireland, says
that only small portions of the dead bod
ies could be eaten. No one was killed,
but the moment one died the survivors
cut the throat of the deceased and drank
the blood, and then divided the heart and
bruins. It was 32 days from the time the
disaster occurred uutil the wreck was
sighted by the schooner, aud during all
that time the crew bad not a drop of wa
ter, or any other food than the dead bod
ies of tht'ir shipmates.
IIiccocgiied to Death. Dr. Elt n
says he was called to SLe a man named
Bve years. Hoskins said that he had gone
to work without break'ast, as he had not
felt well. About eight o'clock he had
drunk some cold water, and the hiccough
set in, violently at nrst, but subsequently
he did not mind it much, thinking it
would soon disappear. It did not, how
ever, and he then tried several local rem
edies, such as drinking nine swallows of
water, puttiug a cold piece of slate down
his back, and such like cures. He became
alarmed, for he felt he was getting weaker
every minute. It continued withreuewed
violence, and Hopkins was advised to go
home by the boss. His wife made him
hot coffee, and he tried to eat breakfas
but his appe ita was entirely gone, lie
beg in to thiver, and the hiccough still
continued as bad as ever. The doctor
was then sent for. He at once adminis
tered twenty drops of sal volatile and
fifteen drops of ether in a wine
glass full of camphor-water, but that did
not do any good. The doctor ttun tried
to divert the man's mind from it but it
was all to no purpose. He then gave the
man thirty drops of laudanum, and drove
back to his house to procure other medi
cine. Still the hiccough continued, and
in fafteeo minutes after the doctor left the
man was a corpse. Hoskins seemed to
be perfectly healthy in every respect.
His throat swelled a great deal before he
aied, and he seemed to strangle before his
sufferings were over."

The Attractions of Texas.
Many people are not aware of the
magnitude of the territory embraced
witfiin the limits of the boundaries of
Texas. France does not contain as
many square miles by forty thousand, In

one of the live great Powers of Europe,
aud, in tin time ot the great Napoleon,
carried on wars the magnitude of which
astounded the world. Yet Texas far ex
cels France In area, fertility of soil, salu
brity of climite, and in the variety of
products. The day is cot far distant
when Texas will be a formidable power
within herself, and able to cope, single
handed, with any one of the boasted five
Powers of Europe.
Tnat part of Texas lying east of the
Trinity River is thickly wooded, and
accounted the most insalubrious in cli
mate. Crossing the Trinity you come to
the prairie portion of the State. From
the Tiiuity to the Biazos you pass
through the heart of the settled and
wealthy part of the State. Splendid
farms, fine re-idenecs, beautiful cities and
towns enchant and delight the traveler's
eye. It is even so until you approach
the Colorado River, the very frontier of
civilized Texas. Beautiful little cities
are springing up like mag!c, almost
within hearing distance of the war
whoop of the Comanche.
Brown C unty is considered the gem
of the frontier counties, being as well
watered, better timbered and hiving,
perhaps, better soil than the sister coun
ties. Pecan River runs all the length of
the c unty, and the amount of pecans
growing on the trees that lins its bank is
almost incredible. The crop gathered
this year is estimated at $20,000 in value,
at a dollar and a half per bushel. Be
side what were sold the amount con
sumed, wasted and destroyed is beyond
reckoning. The valley of the Pecan is
beautiful to behold, and so rich in soil
that it would drive a:i inhabitant of the
poor knobs of Kentucky to distraction.
Leaving the Pecan Valley you ascend
w lint are called the mountain, arid you
reach the table-!ands, undulating with
elevations and valleys, carpeted every
where with grass, and set off by beautiful
grves of live oak.
Standing on an emiueuce and lo ikin
for miles over mezquit valleys and over
the opposite eminences the sight is beau
tiful to behold. The live oak's glossy
dark green (it is an evergreen) isinstioug

Spanish oak and dirty yeilow of the post
oak, and the whole seems as if touched
by the painter's brush. Now you see as

back 01 it you see the silvery white-
topped grass which you almost imagine
to be a t-ilverv lake glimmerin in the
sunshine; then another iow of colors;
then gras, and so on, until the view is
lost by the back of the opposite ridge.
The whole seems the work of man so

a dozen deer. Across the high and
naked prairie go skimming fifty beauti

out from every thicket and go scud ling

Troubles of Ostrich Farmers.
The profits of ostrich farming iu South
Africa have lately been very enthusiasti
cally described for the benefit of British
emigrants and investors. It seems, how
ever, that the new industry has many
enemies to contend against. A South
African journal says: "It is stated that
small quantities of o-trich feathers have
been brought into Graham s Town at dif
ferent times, recently, by natives, and
have been disposed of t j parties here at
a fraction of their real value. We do
not know how far the rumor is correct,
but as there are no Datives in the district
who po-s 'ss ostriches, it is tolerably clear
that they have not come honestly by the
feathers, and any one buying of them
will justly view the danger of a convic
tion for receiving stolen goods." But a
more formidable foe, because less amen
able to the terrors of the law, and less
dependent upon professional "fences," is
described in another Cape newspaper.
"The white crows," it is said, "in the
neighborhood of Thebus and Brak River,
have taken to imibiting their Christian
neighlnjrs and c veti ug their neighbors'
goods. They have been the cause of
considerable loss to Messrs. Southey, as
they have devoted a special liking for
ostrich eggs. The birds take a moder
ately heavy stone in their talons, fly to a
sufficient height above an ostrich nest
containing eggs, "and drop the stone,
breaking the shell of one or more of the
egg, after which they descend and enjoy
a aainty feast. No fewer than thirteen
eggs were destroyed in this way on one
farm." .
Happiness in Rags. One would not
suppose that the rag-pickers of Paris
could find much joy in living. Yet they
are a happy, unique set. In their sordid
rags, with their hamper on their backs, a
lantern in one hand and in the other the
short iron hook which enables tbem to
select and secure their chance prizes,
they are not destitute of a certain degree
of picturesqueness. They have regular
organizations amomr themselves and en
joy their festivals and banquets. Some
01 them actually accumulate moderate
fortunes by living frugally and saving
everything that comes iu their way. The
"institution" is rather on the increase on
our own side of the water, and these
pickers-up of unconsidered trifh-s are
constantly t be met with.
Tuet say I'm growing old, because
my hair is silvered, and there are crows'

Reasons Why the "Rogers Up
right Piano ' Must Soon Su
persede All Others.
I. It is the most durable piauo that hns
ever been made. In fact, there is no more
wear out to it than to a harp.
3. It stands in tune in all weathers and
seasons, while all other pianos are constantly
getting out of tune.
.5. What little tuning it may happen to
need in the course of time can be done by
any one that can tune a violin or guitar.
4. It cannot get out of order, and therefore
costs nothing for repairs, which Is a large
item of expense with all other pianos.
5. If, by accident, any part of the mechan
ism should feet broken, it cau be replaced
without trouble at a trilling expense.
0. The pedal cannot get out of order.
7. The hammers cannot "stick."
8. Its tone is purer than thai of any other
)i;oio; its singing quality is unapproachable,
and it is therefore especially to be preferred
as an accompaniment for the voice.
U. The "upright" U now the fashionable
form of piano, aud the "Holers Upright" far
excels all others in elegance of design and
exquisite beauty of Unish.
10. The price is lower than that of any
other first-class upright.
II. When you buy a piano made upon the
old plan, you do so with a perfect certainty
that it will lose its beauty of tone, aud de
preciate in vulue every year, until iu a brief
period it win become almost worthless, ana
its sound will be intolerable to musically
educated ears. On the contrary, no person
can examine a "Rogers" without feeliug per
fectly sure that it will be precisely the same
instrument after twenty, or eveu lifly yours'
service, and consequently, that
12. You will be able to sell a Rogers Piano
that has been used lor a tuuch better price
than any other second-hand piano.
