There was some risk in this sort of enterprise, as will be seen by the following from a St. Louis journal : The trains had been runninir through water and Uoating ice two or three feet deep. Hie cab of the last locomotive to cross was nooaea, anu the engine tipped to one side, but by Btrange good luck the crossing was safely made. A train of twenty cars dashing through a river was an unpre- j night with him.

Thirty years ago the principal of the Kel lerman boarding-school had two scholars, one of whom attracted at tention from the precocious serious- noeo onl rrrovihr rf hie motmnr ! . . . 1 WI.UUUIUUU1L-. .wao waim,uuua for the joyousness of his nature. Time has gone on and these two scholars have made their way in the world. They have forgotten their old relations and their brother- ly emulation, but the old professor has not lost siMitof th m. He has followed them in their careers, and i ' I to-day he has the pleasure of say- j-i 1 lil mg tnat irom nis mouest nouse , , , -r, . ,r. . , nave &t out toiimie axiiusiui:,. The older is Richard Waddington. The younger is first minister of a . . . n Jjroyice.w French the province of Quebec. The good professor who measures distances with his heart, and notk;ad:: one to wolllfel. i,0NV any womai with compasses, is as proud of the can have patience enough to puzzle lie Premier of the little province as he ; is of the first minister of the great republic; and, in quoting these two examples to his pupils in a paternal address, he has said to them: "My children, follow in the foosteps of Richard Waddington and llenri Gustave Joly." The assassin of the Frankfort (Ky.) judge admits the killing, but justifies it on the ground that the judge deserved death, and even has the hardihood to declare that he killed him in the fulfillment of an oath made on the grave of his sister. On his sister's grave he " swore to win the case or die with her." He seems to think that the obligation to fulfil his oath someway excused the murder of the Judge, whose decis ion was against him. t is about time for Kentucky"' to take her as sassins and apologists of assassina tion in hand. All accounts agree that the Judge was a man of un questioned integrity, and the gov ernor in :i proclamation declared that he was able, incorruptible and impartial. But the assassin cannot be made to realize that ho has committed ,a crime. Baxter Springs was the centre of the Kansas cattle trade ten yars ago, and $230,000 was bor rowed on bonds for public works. Afterwards the place lost most of its business and population, and has just bought in the bonds for 815,000. . In a report on the penitentiary, a member of the Illinois legisla ture says: " We think that the de sire of hK people of Illinois is, if a man is guilty of murder, 'hang him;Mf'not,iheii snd him to the -penitentiary for a term of years never for life." && i wiMtt rVii riiv-"im T" i I - tu.-t Fools not nil Dead. A patent wind-mill man is taking the farmers of Dayton county in by mak ing agents of them and taking notes of them in the usual swindling manner. With all the attention the newspapers give to the exposure of these sharps, and with all the warnings they give to farmers, there are a class of fools who are ready to bite at any new fraud that comes along.

These farmers now want to know if they signed a contract, or a note, or if they deeded their farms. They say they do not know what they did sign. Such swindlers and scoundrels should be severely punished. Joel Tillman, living near Chehalis, was taken in and done for not long since by a stranger who remained over handing him an innocent looking piece of paper on which to write it. Joel suspected no trick, and after giving the stranger a warm shake of the hand the two separated, feeling that it was well that they had met. The sequel to all this is, that when Joel gave the stranger his address he simply signed an order for six hundred gate rollers! The rollers have come to hand and Joel will have them to pay for.

We appreciate industrious women, but we want to see them learn to turn their industry to good advantage. There is nothing to commend, in worth less work. We have often expressed our opin ion on this subject in language similar to the above, and every year confirms us more fully in the belief of its correctness. In the first place, use lass work in a world where there is so much need of useful employment is selfish, and to that extent, wicket1.

Yet other days are spent days of discomfort and general disor der in the family -in which, the patch ing completed, the dizzying maze is stretched in frames, suspended from j the coning or supported by chairs, and the needle, propelled by a fretful energy, glides in and out, lacerating thumb and finger as it goes, tiring bnck and side and arms as the position of the body is further contorted to make a good. u reach," and after all, a fpiilt that has. neither warmth nor beauty to recorinnend it is taken from j the frames, folded and placed upon I the shelf to be displayed on special oc-: easterns as a nnrvel ot industry, w nat j need to multiply . words when the common sense of ever7 one says the boast is out of all proportion to its great cost.

A Green Hand Danbiiry Seta, One of the plumbing establish ments of Danbury took in a new jour the other day. He vas - from a hamlet over in New York state a little hamlet where lie had worknff with his lather. Xhe day after his arrival there was a burst in the water pipe of a house on Pine street. He was told to go over there and attend to it. Seeing the owner of the house in the shop, he went up to him and got the particulars of the break, and then he made ready his tools and started. Just as he was passing out of the door the proprietor saw him. "Where are you going?" he almost screamed. The new man told him. "Do you mean to tell me that you are" going up there to fix that pipe without examining it?" he gasped. "Why I am going to look at it when I get there," said the new man. "Merciful heaven!" ejaculated his employer, catching hold of the desk to support himself. "Can it be possible that you would do a job at one visit? Don't you know your trade any better than that? Have you no pride in your busi ness? Why, you'd ruin the entire community in less than a year." And the speaker burst into tears. As soon as he grew calmer he explained to the new man that he should first visit the house, make a thorough examination of the build ing, get the lay of the streets, find the location of the nearest hydrant, go up on the roof the house, and then return thoughtfully to the shop for his tools, keeping an ac curate record of his time. When Pius IX. was Pope, Fanny Els3ler visited Home, danced and set the public crazy. In forty-eight hours the gilded youth, her admirers, had subscribed 12,000 francs and bought a splendid crown to be presented to her as a testimonial. When the time came for presenting the danseuse with it, one of the subscribers, an excellent ' young noble, obtained an audience of the Pope, and asked if there would be any harm in the presentation if the Pope had any objections. "I have neither objection to make nor advice to offer," said His Holiness, "but it does seem.to me that you might have picnHtiponirniore apjiropriate gift, ln.my simplicity as a priest, I have always thought the crowns were made for heads and not for legs." The crown was duly given to the dansuese, who meanwhile had heard of the Pope's saying, and promptly sent the value of the gift in money to the parish priests for the poor. Pius IX. heard of this in his turn, and when next he met one of the subscribers to the testimonial, said to him: "You were tpiite right in giving that woman that crown she has just proved that there is more sense in her legs than you had in your heads."
