The largest locomotive ' in the
world is now running on the Atchison,
Topeka and Santa Fc railroad. It is
nearly ii feet long, including the
tender, has fight driving wheels, each
42 inches in diameter and has cylin

feet long, with -!'! flues, and over it is
a large tank designed both for carying
water and iTicreasing the weightof the
engine, which nlbwrtthcl" weighs 0"
tons. The ''Uncle Diek," passed over
the Pennsylvania railroad in shape
ready for service, but fear of hridiro

A boy of 13 and a girl of 11 ran
away together from South Framing
ham, Mass., to Lowell. Their escapade
was telegraphed to the Lowell jiolicc
a;j an clopemen-r, and they were
arrested; but the little follow Indig
nantly rol relied any aspersion on his
companion, and proved '.hat lie had
taken liev from iier home, where she
was discontented, to fbd her a better
one. A slightly older pair, aged 17
and 14, really did el-ope from Cleve
land, and were overtaken by the boy's
mother and the girl's father. The
girl behaved sentimentally, throwing
herself on her l-'ivcr's bosom, and de
claring thut her entwining arms, hut
not her heart, might be wrenched
from him. The boy, however, on
foeling the grip of bis mother's hand
on his shoulder, sti:l, ''I guess we'd
better go home with 'em Jennie."
Among the numerous hi Us brought
in for the consideration of the French
Chamber of Deputies thisscssion isone
ad'ecting marriage laws r.s laid down
in the "Code Civil." M. Saint Martin
desires ? see marriages between
brothers, and' sisters-in-law legalized,
his arguments being that they are not
contrary to natural rights, and that,
as a matter of fact, they actually take
place by means of a dispensation, no
less than 1,407 marriages of this kind
having been registered during the
year 1870. The bill maintains tho
prohibition of marriage between uncle.-
and nieces, aunts and neplrews, but a
clause is inserted giving the President
of the Republic power to issue
dispensations in grave cases. The
most important feature of M. Saint
MaTt in's measure is, however, the
proposal to render the marriage of
priests legal. As tho law stands at
present, not only are the priests pro
hibited from marrying by the Civil
Code, as well as by canon law, but in
the event of a priest entering into wed
lock, the union is considered null and
void, tiie woman a concubine, and
the children bastards.
ThW is the way the Erie Gazette
goes for a certain class of roughs,
styled '"church tramps": ''Strange as
it may seem, right here in Erie there
are a dozen or fifteen individuals
known as Jack and Jim and Ed and
Dan and Tom and Dick und Jerry,
who are so ill bred as to infest the
ditl'erent churches every Sunday even
ing and go through a sort of proceeding
very annoying to respectable people.
They stand in the hall until the min
ister beging to preach ami tho usher
got well asleep, then they file in one or
two at a time, until the back seats are
full. They whisper, and giggle, and
perform feats that require no brains.
After preaching an excellent sermon
last Sunday evening, Dr. Adams came
down on this class of nuisances in
language easily understood. lie styled
them "church tramps," who go from
one church to another, having neither
pride for themselves nor respect for
others. He liked to have them come
to church, but to be guilty of improper
conduct in tho house of God was the
worst possible offense against de
cency." Eggs 15 cents a dozen at Mor

There died In dseksonvlllc, Flor
ida, a few days ago, a colored man,
John R. Seott, whose history is a
notable one. He was in all the great
battles of tho war, not as a combatant
but as theslnve and servant of General
A. P. Hill, n'fter realizing that the
war had left him on a higher plane he
began to W..idy and soon became a
scholar, lie took to tho pulpit and
filled Hereditably until bis death. He
was in tho Florida Legislature twice,
a Collector of Customs at Jacksonville
for a number of years and altogether a
man of wonderful Influence among
both whites and backs,
The disinfection of letters contain
ing paper money during the height of
the Russian plague panic was effected
on the Prussian border by exposing
llieni for. six hours in a peculiarly
constructed closed vessel to tho fumes
of sulphuric acid. It was not con
sidered necessary to open or puncture
the letters, since it was proved by ex
periment that tho vapor of the acid
penetrates the pores of paper, however
firmly nuufc. In the laboratory of the
Berlin Boftrd of Health, blue litmus
paper, enclosed ill four thicknesses of ,
paper, and in several envelopes tightly
compressed, was intensely reddened
by being subjected to the funics of
this acid.
It is well known, throughout
Germany at least, that the blue corn
flower is the Emperor William's favor
ite flower and color, and it is the
practice to decorate his room with it on
his birthday," the 2-d of March.
After the late dastardly attack on the
Emperor's life the cornflower became
the emblem of loyalty and devotion of
the Prussian people. Ladies wore
cornflowers in their hats, gentlemen in
their buttonholes ; medals bearing the
Emperor's elligy on one side and a
wreath of 'cornflowers on the other
were worn in bracelets and necklets ;
note" paper was decorated with the
favorite flower; in short, it was em
ployed in every conceivable Way to
testify the loyally of the people.
Frankfort, Ky., March 20. Judge
J M. Elliott of the Court of Appeals,
the highest r-f the Kentucky courts,
was assassinated in the street in from
of the Capital Hotel, at 1 o'clock to
day, by Thymus Buford of Henry
County, Judgy Elliott lias rendered an
opinion adverse to a case Buford had
for some time bad in court. Buford
loaded a double-barrelled shotgun, and
waited for Elliott to come to dinner,
and walked up and shot him through
the heart, without warning, killing
him instantly. The assassin was ar
rested and is now in jail. There is
great excitement and strong feeling
against hinu Buford. after iiis arrest,
acknowledged that the other barrej
of the gun was loaded forjudge Pryor,
another Judge of the Court of Appeals
and he would have killed him also
had not some children been in the
way. He is a brother of Gen. Abe
Buford of Woodford County, the well
known breeder of fine horses, who
was recently compelled to make an
assignment of hi properly, including
the famous "Boirpie Bonita" farm.
The Bu fords are one of (he oldest and

Amelia Liukhaw went to (lie
hotel in Lumberton, N.C. and inquired
for J. E. 11,-irriman. lie was a travel
ling salesman from Baltimore, a fre
quent vi.-iloi' in the village, and had
been regarded as Miss LlnkhawV
.accepted suitor. She was a somewhat
famous bounty of that insolated part
of the State, an active worker in
religious charities, and the daughter
of a moderately wealthy man. Harrl
maii joined her in the hotel parlor, and
they shook hands; but while she
held Ids hand with her 1-ft, she drew
a pistol with her right, and shot him
dead. That was live months ago, and
siie has since beet, in jail, except when
lately taken into court on the day ap
pointed for a trial. The interest in
the case was so great that 4,Ul)i) persons
nearly the entire population of two
counties, gathered in and around the
Court House. Miss Linkliaw ad
dressed the Court, saying that she
killed Harriman because he broke his
promise of mariinge ; that she did
not believe she had done any wrong,
and that she did not desire; a lawyer to
defend Iter, as she was entirely willing
to leave herself in the bands of (iod,
who would take care of her. Her
father, however, had engaged counsel,
and the trial was potpondod.

iifeen Peas HaK n Bushel n Day.
Is there anybody who docs not en
joy well cooked green peas, fresh
from the garden a good many of
them and very often, loo? They are
a nourishing food, and healthful also,
if well cooked, and not swallowed
with tho skin or pecd-coat unbroken.
They are one of the most certain,
easily grown and earliest productions
of the garden, and can be had in succes
sion most of the summer. When our
family is largo we always plan for
"half-a-bushel a day" (in the pod)
from some time in May, according to
the season, up to tho end of July, und
often well into August. The ground
producing them Is Used for a second
crop celery, or something else.
Selecting as dry and warm a spot us
can bo allotted to them, and applying
a fair quantity of well rotted vard-
'nianurc, wo sow on the same day at
least two varieties, in rows, ns soon as
the snow Is gone and the ground can '
be worked without packing. A good
assortment to start with is: a few
"Improved Daniel O'Rouke's" for
the earliest (they are bettered by a
little sugar added In cooking); plenty
of Alphas for the chief early crop, with
more of them sown 5 Or 6 days later, or
with "Laxton's Fill Basket," or
"Little Gem',' or "Advancer," sown at
first, to come in after the Alpha; and
Champion of England sown plentiful
at first, and more sown every week or
oflencr, keep up a constant succession.
The Champion may be varied with the
"British tQiioon" and Pitches' Per
fection,'' if desired. The "Tall Sugar"
can bo sown by those wishing peas to
be eaten "pods and all". Alphas and
Champions, sown at first, and in
succession, answer very well without
other varieties. Sow at the earliest
possible day, to have them ready to
follow Asparagus, if" you have it. If
by starting too soon, 'die first leaves
get nipped by frosts, they will send up
more leaves and try it again. If killed
outright, put in more seed. Get a
good pile of brush all re-nly now. It
can be re-used for tho later crops. If
brush is not available, firm stakes can
be driven along each side of tho rows,
and two or more wires or even strong
twine (tared if possible) be stretched
to hold up the vines say 2 ft. high for
tho Alphas, nnd 3 ft. or more for the
Champions. From American Agri
culturist for April.
Burning Oil.
From tho Willbimspnrt t-Uzclto mul Itnlletln.
Saturday lat between twelve and
one o'clock, when the Empire freight
east was pass-lug that point on the
Philadelphia and Erie railroad where
tiie Ice gorge occurred recently, about
five miles above Famtnsville, the sud
den breaking of an axle caused the
wrecking of an oil tank car. Imme
diately on the breaking of the tank
the oil took lire, and in a few minutes
a terrible conflagration was raging.
The black smoke rolled up in dense
volumes darkening the atmosphere,
and at times the flames ascended to a
height of nt'arly one hundred feet.
Word was at once communicated to
the ollico ol'Superiiiten lent Gncker in
lids city, and lie hastened to the scene
of tiie burning train with the wreck
ing car ami a string force of nun to
clear the track as soon as possible. In
the meantime Superintendent West
fall, at Ilcnovo, was informed of the ac
cident, and lie dispatched a wrecking
earand men from (hat point to assist
in removing the obstruction. When
the latter arrived on the ground the
rear portion of the disabled train was
hauled back to tho siding at North
Point, where, after arrival, two more
oil cars took fire and werecon sii'iied
on the siiling. In the meantime the
wrecking force from V iiiiainspoi t had
arrived and commenced pulling out
the damaged cars and dumping them
over the bank. The trucks were con
sumed, of course, letting the huge oil
tanks down on the axles, which com
pletely obstructed the track. As these
heated tanks were hauled out and
rolled over the bank theconteiits would
take fire and for several minutes the
flames and black smoke would roll
upward in dense volumes.
Eleven oil tank cars were destroyed
at the point -where the accident first
occurred, which, with the two con
.sinned at North Point, make thirteen
altogether. The intense heat caused
by the burning oil warped the rail-s
badly, destroyed the ties completely,
and rendered it necessary to relay
about three hundred feet of track be
fore the waiting trains could pass.
This was done so speedily that the pas
senger train east was not delayed over
an hour, reaching Williamsport soon
after midnight. Fortunately no one
was injured, though there was great
danger from the exploding oil tanks,
and the greatest caution had to be ob
served in handling them.
As these oil tank cars carry from
3,(!00 to 4,400 gallons of oil, it is safe to
say that each car averaged 4,000 gal
lons, making the total amount con
sumed about 52,000 gallons. And as it
was envolved into smoke at the point
where congealed water was piled up in
huge blocks on every bund, it 11103' be
truly said that the conflagration was a
" big tiling on lee I " But strange as it
may appear, the heat did not succeed
in reducing the blocks of ice to any
great extent, but 'seemed to' cement
them together more firmly in one
solid mass.

The Ohio Scale Works of Cincinnati
have just, patented and are now in
troducing to the public a Handsomely
finished Family Scale, an article
that lnrs always been needed iil every
household, and. in a communication
addressed to the publishers of this
puper the proprietors ask us to refer
them to some reliable party, to intro
duce it for them to the people of this
County. It is very seldom that a
new article step so suddenly into uni
versal favor. House-keepers are loud
in its praise, it is always ready, there
are no weights to get lost or to be
bunted up, it is reliable, and will not
get out of order. The discription of
them is a handsome base surmounted
by a column in which works a spiral
spring so scientifically adjusted as to
weiglt anything up to twelve pounds
with perfect accuracy, on the top of
the column is tho platform on which
tho articles to be weighed are placed,
and they have an adjustable Indicator
so that you can take the tare of any
vessel you may use in weighing,
giving you tho exact net weight
House-keepers at once see tlieir value
in weighing fruits, sugars and oilier
ingredients used in preserving, cook
ing etc, or hi testing the weights ot
purchases from other.
The so.tlcs are made of Brass, art
lijghly polished and are finished in a
skillful manner. They are very at
tractive and take the eye of every one
who sees them.
It seems to us that nearly every
family in this county will want one,
and is certainty a rare opportunity for
some smart and energetic party to pick
up quite a nice little income during
the next few months. The Company
has agents in other counties who arc
easily making from $5 00 to $i uu per
