The Peculiarities of Different Bail- read Engimeers. HOW THEY FEEL AFTER KILLING A MAN ON THE TRACK—THE ACTUAL EXPERIENCE OF DRIVERS ON THE PENNSYLVANIA ROAD. From the Philadelphia Presa, The other night when the western express arrived at the Broad street station from New ; York, Engineer Vandegrift discovered blood trickling down the spokes of the cow-catcher. He knew some deadly work had been done, but was at aloss to tell when and where it had occurred. He told Harry Feaster, the con- ductor of the train, what he had discovered, and immediately word was telegraphed all along the line to make a search for anyone | who might have been struck by a train. ortly after midnight the dead body of a man found near Bridesburg station with the lerushe@ in. In the meantime the condue- d the engineer had gone to their homes. Conduetor Ha Feaster told a fellow-conduc- tor the next day that he had passed a sleepless night and the engineer reported a similar ex- perience. An old engineer said to a Press reporter the | other day, “The public, taking them collectively, ; think that an ensineer is a hard-hearted wretch, | and that he thinks no more of running over a | human being than he does of killing a cow or a I've heard people say that we become ‘d to it and don’t mind it a bit; but that’s e, and avery grave one. I remember nmsome fiye years ago, and I know n't sleep for a monti:, except by fits I used to have the most horrible nightmares that ever worried rfortal man.” “FOR GOD'S SAKE, JUMP!” “One night,” continued the old engineer, as he shifted his quia of tobacco, “I had a horrible dream. That was an awful night. My wife woke me up. Thad my hand on the foot-rall of the bed, just as if I had hold of the throttle, and the of perspiration were standing out all over how I had yelled, 's sake, Jump’and how it had wakened and then she sprang out of bed shaking ith fear, and when sie shook me and I saw where I was, I told hier my dream. It’s a mean thing to aceuse us of not minding killing people,” said the engineer, aa he took his oil can and ! started to ofl his engine. | Not long ago, Engineer Edward Knowles stood examining his engine in the Broad street station: he had Just brought the “owl” train | from Jersey City. There was a busy scene all j about him; two southern expresses and two | Western trains were standing in the station. It | was just 4 o'clock in the morning, and a very | sharp, biting, chilly dawn; baggage porters and {men laden with great bundles of Philadelphia morning papers fresh from the press were hurry- ins to the trains. The electric light was spit- ting and hissing and casting weird, fantastical shapes and shadows about the engineer, who | stood apparently gazing at nothing. A Press eporter opened conversation with Engineer | | Knowles, and, after a good deal of talk, he said, | a8 he leaned forward, with one foot resting on the hub of a driving wheel: “I've been running for ten years and never | met with a m:shap until here @ short time ago, j and then everything seemed to come all at once. I killed an old peddler at Princeton | Junction one day. He was crossing the track | by the station in his old wagon. I think he | must have been asleep, for he paid no attention to the whistle when New, and of course he | Was killed outright. The old fellow was well | known in Trenton. Then I struck a man | | over in the meadows, and right on top of that I j killed a man at Ne Ag CRAZY FROM REMORSE. Another engineer out in the West Philadel- phia yard told the reporter he knew of a few instances where engineers had gone crazy from | killing people with thelr engines, “I knew a! | poor fellow,” said the engineer, “who was on | the New Jersey Central. He killed a woman | up by Clinton one night, and that night I heard hin ‘tell the tralnmaster, Billy Smith, at Eliza- ‘heth, all about it. He seemed to grow insane right th and had a queer look in hiseye.

They are supposed to exercise | presence of mind, never mind what stares them fin the face. The engineers on the Pennsylva~ nia road receive $3.80 a day or $115 a month. j For instance, a round trip from the Broad-street on to Jersey City and back, 182 miles, is Every third day they have off. Some engineers get through {their days work In less time than others. For example, Engineer Larrison leavea Broad street with the 7:30 express in the morning and gets back to Broad street at 2:20 | inthe afternoon. He takes his engine out to | Powelton avenue to the roundhouse, and then his day's work is done and he 1s free until 7:30 | the next morning. Every steam horse has its stall in the big round stable, and its “hostlers,” as the men are called who take care of and clean the engines.

Their manufacture is mostly confined'to New England, and the state of Maine produces its share of the commodity. According to the Bangor Journalone of the most complete and exténsive clothes-pin facto- tles is located at Vanceboro’, Me. From the same source the process of manufacturing the pins, as carried on at the factory, is given. The wood used is mainly white birch and beech. The logs are cut and hauled to the shore of the lake or the streams emptying into it, whence they are floated downto the mill. As fast as required they are hauled into the mill by a windlass and chain worked by steam power, and sawed into lengths of sixteen to twenty inches—the former to be made into pins, and the latter into boards for the boxes sequired in packing. The sixteen-inch lengths are next sawed into boards of the requisite thickness by a single machine, then into strips of the proper size by a gang of twelve circular saws,and finally into five-inch lengths by a gang of three saws. The logs have now been cut up Into blocks about five inches long and % of an inch square. Falling as they leave the saws on an elevator belt, they are carried into an upper story, and, returned to the first floor, are depos- ited in troughs, whence they are fel to the turn- ing lathes, of which there are several—each being capable of turning 80 pins per minute. They are then passed to the slotting machine, in which a peculiar arrangement of knives in- serted in a circular saw gives the slot the proper flange, atter which they are automatic- ally carried by elevator belts to the drying bins on the second floor, where they are subjected to a high temperature, generated by steam pipes, until thoroughly seasoned. There are several of these bins, the largest of which has a canac- ity of 100 boxes, 72,000 pins, and the smaller ones fifty. The pins are now ready for polish- ing and packing. The polishing is accomplished by means of perforated cylinders or drums, each capable of holding forty bushels. in which the pins aro placed and kept constantly revolving until they become as smooth as if polished by hand with the finest sand-paper. A few minutes before this process is completed a small amount of tallow is thrown in the drums with tie pins, after which a tew revolutions give them a beautiful glossy look. The pollshing drums are suspended directly over the packing counter on the first floor of the mill, and be- ing thus immediately beneath the ceiling of the floor above, are readily filled through scut- tles from drying bins on the second floor, and as easily emptied uponthe counter below, where they are sorted into first and second grades and packed into boxes of five grosseach. The sorting and packing !8 done by girls. Two hundred and fifty boxes are packed per day. The market tor clothes-pins is not con- fined to any one place. but is found nearly all over the world. Ten thousand boxes have been shipped to Melbourne, Australia, within the past four months. Ten firms in London carry a | Stock of 10,000 boxes each, and two firms in Boston carry a like amount. boxes constitute a load. One thousand Making Drankenness Infamous. The venerable Rey. Dr. Andrew P. Peabody, late preacher to Hurvard University,in a recent, letter on the sale and use of intoxicating lquors says: “I believe that the only remedy for in- temperance is to make drunkenness the prime | offense, and to bring about a state of public feeling in which drunkenness and all approaches to it shall be looked upon with the same dises- teem, loathing, and intense moral disapproba- tion with which the attempt Is made to brand the sale of spirituous liquors. stigmatize the sale and the seller as you please, [ care not with how deep a brand, if you will only make one deeper still for those whose vice makes the sale infamous. The most effici- ent legislation in behalf of temperance would be subjecting intoxication in all cases to {gnomini- ous punishment. What the law makes igno- minious society will hold in like disesteem. [fa young man of a respectable family is liable to be locked up ina house of correction for coming home drunk trom a convivial gathering, not only will he be restrained from excessive indul- gence, buthis parents and friends will be very careful how they start him on the first steps of the evil way. Making drunkenness infamous would do more thanall things else toward check- ing,and to avery large degree entirely preventing, the use of strong drink of any kind in families and on occasions of social festivity and would multiply beyond any other conceivable cause the number ot total abstinents.” Weeds rome Au Unexpected Anti-Climax, From the Detroit Free Press, One day asI stood inthe door of the post office in a small town in South Carolina, I saw aman enter a saloon opposite. In thirty sec- onds he reappeared, having passed out of the back door and turned a lumber pile. He came straight across the street, a look of fan on his face, and ashe took a chair on the steps he wilspered : “Now, stranger, you'll see some fun in about three minutes.” his engine much the same as a jocker gets off iis sulkey when the race isover. The hostlers’ ake charge of the engine, which has become dirty and tired-looking from dashing over 182 miles of roadbed. GOSSIP OF THE ROAD. When you see an engineer who Is ranning a | Passenger line, you can make up your mind that. he has worked a long time on an engine before he reaches that important post. First, there is four or five years to be served as a fireman and then several years on a freight train. ‘Phe engineers on the Pennsylvania road are | carefully selected by the road-foreman of en- gines, and no man known todrink liquor would | be allowed to run an engine an hour. Not on! 1s their life, while on duty,carefully scrutinized, but their movements, while off duty, are gen— erally known by the officers. ‘A man must have the qualifications of aclear head and a steady hand,” said an offiotal to the reporter. If the newspaper express Is detained a single | minute on the road the conductor has to make out a detention report, stating where the deten- tion occurred and the cause of It. As soon as the train arrives at Broad street the report is telegraphed to Train Master Adams, at Jegsoy City, so that immediately after the train’s arrtval here he knows exactly the whole history of Its run. Tie train leaves Jersey City at 4:40 a, m., andthe great disadvantage in making a fast Tun with it is that the engineer hasn’t dayhght to do it in, except in midsummer, and then it is often very foggy. Fog is an engineer's worst enemy. They dare not run so fast as in clear weather, and have to slow up frequently to see if the signals are all right. Rain makes the tracks more slippery than snow, and necessi- tates slowing up sooner on approaching a station, which means lost time. Snow always ones an engineer the blues, and next to fog is readed worse than anything else. Many engi- neers are particularly cheerful when they haye a bright moon, and claim they can make better | Tunning time than without it, while many feel j happy and contented with the company of a clear sky full of stara. Some engineers handle atrain more grace- fnlly than others. Some stop a train gradually by applying the air and then allowing it to ex- haust, repeating the manipulation two or three times, which stops the train by degrees, and prevents the jerking of the cara and shaking the passengers up, while otber engineers, who ee not the knack, stop the train frequently with one application of the air brake. Charles Dickens told a friend on alighting from a train during a visit to this country that his first thought on stepping upon the platform was, “Thank God and the engineer.” A close observer will notice that travelers seldom look at the engineer or the engine as they pass down the platform from the train when they have reached their Journey's end. ‘The Cashier From the Wail Street News, A new bank which had been established In a town In Indiana had engaged the services ota watchman who came well recommended, but who did not seem ov rienced.

She'll miss me and head straight for that bar to collar my neck. I won't be there and she won't give up looking until she hasa set-to with the chap who hands out the pizen. She kin lick him, and I'll bet on it, and you jist got still and you'll hear splinters fly !” In about two minutes we saw the old woman cross the square and enter the saloon, and then we hurried over to look through the window, the man saying as we crossed: “Stranger, onless yer made of cast iron and double-bolted yer hadn’t better go in till the row Is over |” But there was no row. The old woman walked up to the bar,laid down one of the o!d-fashioned ten-cent scrips and called for whiskey straight. Then she put one{oot on the rail before the bar, elevated the glass, and down went the ‘“pizen” without a gasp. Up went her hand to wipe her mouth, and as she turned to come out she sald : “Yum—yum—don't let on to the old man if hecomes in !” We dodged around the corner, and I expected to hear an explanation trom my companion. He should have given one, andI think he started out with that intention,but all he could say was: “Now, then, may I be chawed by alligators!” The Missing Companion of the Dodo. From the Marysville Appeal. E Tom Clyms, of North Butte, captured by means of a steel trap, a few days ago, an animal supposed to bea marten. In some respects the animal resembles a fox and is quite a curiosity. The most singular thing about the quadruped, if report be true, is that the legs on one side of Its body are several Inches shorter than those on the other side. Should such prove to be the case. the creature is undoubtedly a gyascutue, an animal always exceedingly rare, and which has long been thought extinct. It is never found in other than hilly regions, its. peculiar structure unfitting it for a level country. By reason of its peculiar one-sided development the gyascutus is, however, adapted for living on mountains and hills. ft can walk with ease on the side of a steep slope, where even a goat would have a rious foothold, The ani- mal’s strange si sp! unfortunately, is in one respect a t_ disadvantage. le it can travel around a bill from right to left with the utmost ease, it cannot retrace its steps. So long as its left side is towards the hill the creature stands as firmly as a tree, but if it Is obliged to tarn the other way its footing Is lost immediately and it rolis helplessly to the bot- tom of the slope. Hunters of the gyascutus, whose fur was held in high esteem, used to avail themselves of this fact to capture the ani- mal. It was useless to pursuea gyascutus on his chosen path, as the animal’s locomotive ar- rangements gave it: exceptional speed. The hunters, therefore adopted the artifice of travel- ing around the hiilin a direction contrary to that pursued by the animal, and,meeting it face to face, had no difficulty in securing it.

Lesson 1. From the Detroit Free Prees. Itis night. A policeman awakes with a sud- den start and moves around the corner, having @ secret fear at his heart tliat he had slept through all that night, all next day and far into to-morrow night. It is: night in a great city. The poker and faro rooms are in full blast, 10,000 loafers are holding down street corners, and here and there an intoxicated alderman can be «seen making his way to a policy shop or a gathering of the pavement ig. Under cover of darkness, first manufa: over 6,000 years ago, the hotel beat lowers his duds from the fourth-story window; all who have dead-head tickets start for the opera houses; hundreds of foung, men set out to spark; reporters fondly look forward to fires, robberies and murders, and church choirs meet to rehearse and wrangle and lay up clubs for each other. "Tis night in the country. The stock has been fed, the squal of the pig is hushed, and the tired horse munches at his corn and wonders why his master throws in so many cobs without a kernel onthem. The watch-dog sits at the gat oe fectly willing to chew up any of the neighbors foracent, and within the farm-house all is serene, or would be if John Henry could find the grease for his boots, Mary Ann could find her Dovel, the oldman discover the hiding-place of the bootjack and the mother solve the mystery of how some of her neighbors managed to get a dress costing two shillings per yard, while she had nothing but calico. “Tis night on the ocean. The proud steamer sails gallantly on and on, the captain snoring in his berth, the mates playing euchre, the look- onts asleep, and everything in readiness to swear, in case of collision, that it was all the otber vessel’s fault. Nothing is heard but the steady beat of the propeller, the groans of the immigrants, and the voices ot men and women declaring that anybody who plans an ocean voy- age for pleasure ought to be shot to death with codfish balls. The sportive dolphin gambols away his hard earnings, the whale rolls over for another nap, and the business-like shark follows in the wake to pick up any opportunities which may tumble overboard. *Tis night on the prairie. The red men gather about the camp-fire to connt the scalps they have takep within the past week, and to grum- ble at the government for not furnishing them port wine and repeating rifles. The white hun- ter and trapper curls himself up to wonder where he can find old bones for breakfast, and to realize what atool he has made of himself, and the gaunt wolf shoulders his empty stomach and sets out in search of something to make life worth living for. Night grows apace. In the clty the weary wife takes her place in the hall with club in hand. - In the country the old folks fall into bed aweary with the work of the day, and the young folks spark and chew pop-corn. On the ocean the sea-sickers continue to crow worse, and the songs of the mermaids fall flat. On the prairie the Indians finally decide to make war in the spring, the hunter falls asleep to dream of eat- ing his boots tor dinner, and the wolf meets a wild-cat and offers to toss up to see which shall eat the other. Blessed be night. But for it the burglars and gas companies would fill our poor-houses, and the morning papers would have no time to set up the matter they steal fromthe evening jour- nals. Bleased be night. ——— The Emperor’s Buttons, From Beatty-Kingston's Life of Kaiser William. As King and Emperor alike, for many years past, William I. has not appeared in public ex- cept while undergoing his annual water cure at Gastein and Ems, dressed in civil dress. He in- variably wears uniform at home, even when writing letters in his study, which overlooks the Linden avenue, Berlin’s chiet military and fash- ionable thoroughfare. While actuaily sitting at his writing table he is accustomed to loosen three or four of the upper buttons of his doubie-breasted tunic, and to turn back its lapels. Whenever, however, a body of troops, small or large, is heard approaching the palace, he rises from his seat,hastily buttons up his uniform tothe throat, | and adiusts his cross of the “Order pour le Me- rite” in such eort that it hangs down over the coat collar exactly under his chin. This opera- tion, which long practice enables him to per- form in a few seconds, eoncinded, he walks to his window and stands there In full view of. his soldiers while they march past. One day an ex- | alted personage, who happened to be in conyer- sation with the Emperor when, the sound of distant drums and fifes having an- nounced the approach of “Grand Guards,” His Majesty hurriedly went through the above described “rapid act,” took heart of grace and asked the Kaiser why he was so particular about buttoning the top button of his uniform beforeshowing himself to his guards, “who, after all,” added Prince » “enjoy almost dally an opportunity of seeing your Majesty face to face. I should have thought, Sire, that you would have scarcely deemed it necessary to stand upon ceremony with them.” “That is not the question at all,” replied the Kaiser. ‘As the head of the army, I am bound to show my soldiers an irreproachable example in the way of tenue. They have never seen me with my coat unbuttoned, and I do not intend they ever shall. For let me tell you, it is the one button left unbuttoned that is the ruin of an army !” ——_—_~o-—____.

One of our most influential Georgia grangers was superintending affairs at his cotton-press the other day when he was accosted by a neigh- bor: “I see, passed!” “Is that so? How about cotton-ties?” till thirty-five cent ad valorem!” “Well, here, you boys, thar! sift another Colonel, that the tariff bill has shovel o’ sand in the middle of that bale—Ican’t | afford to reform until the tariff does!” And the sifting was strictly attended to. WHAT WILL THE RADICALS DO. A lady residing on Formwalt street is the happy possessor of a bright and precocious boy offive years. The little fellow has heard €ve1 thing from tea table chat to political topics dis- cussed, and has evinced considerable interest. His mother read him an account of the death of from rheumatic and kidney troubles and conquers as | well us prevents fever and ague. For auie by all Druggiste ana Dealers generally, mh1 Goy. Stephens, and he insisted that she should take him to the mansion to view the remains. After looking intently at the body, he asked: “Mama, is that Gov. Stephens?” “Yes, my son.” “He can’t. pardon any more convicts, can he, mama?” “No, my son, Goy. Stephens is dead.” “Well, mama, if he can’t pardon any more what will the radical party do now?” The little boy was led quietly away without a definite answer to his question. ee How To Start an Echo. From Texas Siftings, ‘We cannot vouch for the truth of the follow- ing story, but an Austin gentleman said he was an eye-witness of the occurrence. He was ona steamboat on the Hudson river with a party of excursionists. The boat stopped ata place in the river where there is a wonderful echo. One of the gentlemen asked everybody in the crowd for a pistol with which to wake up the echoes. Nobody had any pistol, but a gentleman from Arkansas said that he had something that was a darned sight more reliable than a pistol, and poling out of his boot s knife with a thirteen- ich blade, handed it over to the party who wanted to stir up the echoes. ee A Hint to Litigants, From the Texas Siftings. “How did you come out of that lawsuit you had with John Pendry, before Justice Solomon, about a horse?” asked Bradford Curtis of War- ren Radway. “I won it. I wrote a note to Justice Solomon, telling him that, if he would decide in my favor, I would pay him ten doliars, and he did decide in my favor.” 2 “You can’t make me belleve but that Solo- mon ts qn upright judge, and if you wrote him a letter offering him money, he would have ee against you, and in favor of the other fellow. “Yes, I that 1s what he would have done if I had not been careful to sign the other fellow’s name to the. letter the bribe.

You don’t know me, end, judging of human nature as it runsin business, you are afraid Tl humbug you in some way. You may think it an odd statement, but I can’t afford to chest you. Even if I did I haven’t the means.” “That's curious. (Ob, my back! I'll take a chair, I guess.) Don't you keep plasters?” “Oh, yes, one or twokinds.
