He was running the St. Louis night express that backs Into Wash ington before heading westward. I was going as far as the capital. I clambered, slyly and unseen Into the "cab," and was Instantly alert for every thing, though careful to keep myself out of the way. Promptly at 7.30 the gong sounded. There was a hissing of steam, a continuous, dole ful clanging of the bell, puff ! puff f and out of the glare of C station we glided Into datkness darkness pitchy, and wet with falling snow. Grim, stern. rle-M statue stood Brick. I fell to wondering whether an engineer's arm never gTew tired, when I knew that his trusty hand did not dare once to be removed from that small lever on a route of hundreds of miles, while scores of human beings slept tranquilly In the cars behind him slept, and few, Indeed, had thought to offer a prayer for the brave, resolute man on whose nerve their very lives depended. To my surprise, with the Increase of speed there seemed to be less noise In the "cab." And it was just as I began to realize this that the accident occurred which I now re late to you. We had passed Winans. I knew there was no road to sir-rial for ; but Buck sudden ly exclaimed : "Blow, flarry 1" The fireman pnlled the cord, and out in the night shrieked a peculiar whistle, unlike any I had ever heard. At the same- tiMe TTarry, the young fire man, glanced at me strangely and shook his head. I looked instinctively toward Buck Smith, and whnt I saw made my reporter's heart jump. There was a mystery enacting in the cab of engine No. 1. The firm hand was still tight on the lever, the stern, sad eyes still fixed unswervingly ahead ; hut I saw on one cheek a single shlnine, rolling tear. lie was bending forward slightly. His rough shirt was open at the front, where, suspended by a leather string, were two rines one of plain gold band, the other set with beautiful, gleaming diamonds. These rings were pressed to his lips. "Buck's a praying," said the fireman, close to my ear. Then Buck, as he carefully hid away the rines : "Fear that toot, Nat ?" "Tes." "Guess what it's for." "How should I?" "For my little girl." "Why, I didn't know you had a child, Buck." "Well, the whole world dopsn't know it that's a fact Coal np, narry ; here's a grade." The Iron door was wrenched open, like the fiery, seething mouth of a monster dra gon, while the fireman plied his shovel. All had transpired in less than ten seconds. As the glare lighted broadly on the dark night, I saw on the bank of the traekside saw as we sped like the wind a female fig ure, who waved a lantern briskly to and fro. "God Wpss her, Nat that's my Dolly I" Then presently : ' I don't know but I may as well tell you about it though I don't tell everybody, mind you. I've only had my home here a few years used to live near Point o' Rocks. As pretty a cottage it was, for a pretty wife, as any man need wish for. Tou haven't known me lone, or you'd have heard that I married a girl who expected to inherit handsomely. But I like you. Nat. No matter how the match came about. She was a very delicate and very beautiful prize for a rough man like I am. I won her away from a chap who was better off, better look ing than I. nis name was Carrol Conrad. I was never a Jealous man ; I did not even request my wife to give up his acquaintance. So I thought nothing of it when, sometimes, when I returned from a trip, she would say : " 'Buck, dear, Carroll has been here to see me.' "But one night, Nat, there came a blow to me that wel! nigh drove me mad . Wait a minute. Blow for the Relay, narry." Thrice, four times, shrieked the prompt whistle, and presently the train came to a halt. Not for long. There was a bang on the little gong over my head that startled me. Again we steamed onward. No more tops until we reached Washington; no more interruptions except that the signal would blow for curves and roads. I was al most breathlessly still, watching Buck, who. It seemed to me, had not mov?d a muscle or turned an eye from his 'lookout" since he kissed the tallsmanic rings. T fonnd the cottage darkened," he re sumed, abruptly, after we had rumbled across the viaduct. "There was no light to welcome me, like there had always been, and and Nat, my wife was gone. I found on the parlor table a note that first set my blood on fire, and then turned my heart to stone. As near as I can remomhor if , something like this : "'Buck, dear, forgive me. My life has been so lonesome since marrying you, and the tpmptation so trrpat that I have consent ed to en with Carroll. I am not all wicked ; I couldn't helD It ; forgive me.' "I thought it all over as a dream, Nat. Toor little thing ; she Didn't see much of me for love making, that's a fact. Then some tiort of a demon caused me to writ on the back of the note a horrible curse on the pair, and I pinned It to the table-top with my pen knife." "Turning round. I fonnd little Dolly standing m the doorway, crying. She had been looking everywhere in vain for mam ma. At least this treasure was left to roe. Ah, Nat, It was this precious charge that saved me from going straight to the dogs. "1 closed the cattage, resigned from my engine, and brought Dolly off here to live, I'd saved a little sum. A year went by. Then came another eventful night a night as Mtd to me as ever human being knew. The wlr.d howled a gale ; the snow was deep and piling fast Dolly came running to me, crying loudly : "Papa oh, papathere's eotnebody lying on the track. It's a woman. I can't pull her off ; and the St. Lonis express is coming. "Nat I reached the track, I think, at two big leaps. In another moment I had grasped up a female who was halt buried in the 9now ; and just in time, for this same engine No. 1 went whizzing past. When I had laid her ou the lounge I Nat, ii was my lit tle lost wife I What a coming back I Oh, how different she looked I I saw death In her delicate face and form always delicate, as I said before. She opened her eyes and called out in a voice that seems to dwell ln my ears now : "Buck oh, Buck, dear I is it you at last?' "Then, as I stood dumb and trerubllng, she told me her pitiful story. Carrol Conrad had come to her with a letter from her fath er, who was in New York, Baying that he was dying and wanted her by his side. Lit tle Dolly was at a friend's house three miles in the country. No time could be lo9t. She went with Conrad. Not until they were be yond Philadelphia did she learn from his own lips the dastardly ruse. "The letter was a forgery. The hasty note of explanation she had left for me was adroitly exchanged for the one I had found another base forgery. She was now blast ed in my sight, be told her. Soon her name would be bandied ln slanderous gossip. nad she not better go with hiin and let his devotion repay for the trick? She spurned the wretch, and called on the train conduc tor to protect her, continuing her way to New York. "nere she found her father truly dead. ne had ruptured an artery in excitement over a speculation failure that cost him eve ry dollar of his fortune. She was then with out klndied, without money, and her few early friends scattered and lost She man aged to make her way back ; but no one could tell her where I was. She found Con rad's forgery, with my bitter curse on the back of it It must have driven her insane. "God meant that I should know these truths before she died. In her wandering search for me she had come almost to my very door unknowingly. Right there she had resolved to die to die by throwing her self under the St Louis flight express. Con sumption did its work soon, aided by that night's exposure, f laid her in her grave, Nat, and my heart with her. "That was five years ago. Iwentbackon the road and got engine No. 1. Dolly is a big girl now. And every time I run this train out you'll find her by the track with a lan tern rain, snow or starlight, Nat waiting to hear me blow, and to see that there's no body on the rails. And she dips the lantern for a kiss, yon know. "Engineers, like sailors, have some little superstition; and sometimes when I pass the spot where I snatched my unhappy wife from a horrible death. I feel a shudder go through me, as if I'd actually struck some body with the catcher." Not another word from Buck during the remainder of the ride. At the Washington depot we parted with a hearty good-bye. A few years later, quite by accident, while at C station on reportorial business, I hear that good old Buck was dead, nis daughter, Dolly, nad married, and was living snu-jly anions the green hills of Anacostia, D. C. A WoKDEitFCL Lakk. Camiola, in the Western part of Austria, and fronting on the Adriatic Sea, is a region remarkable chiefly for its subterranean streams and im mense caverns and abysses. It is very moun tainous, being traversed by spurs of the Alps, and covers an area of 3,857, square miles. Its Inhabitants are a hardy, thrifty race, en gaged in the cultivation of wine, timber, maize, and millet Of all the wonders of nature to be met with In this country the one most deserving of notice Is the lake of Zirknitz. This lake takes its name from a small market town with a population of 1,500, and situated about thirty miles northeast of Trieste, the principal sea-port city of Austria. Lake Zirknitz lies in a deep valley, sur rounded by beautiful hills. It isa fairsheet of water, six miles long and three miles broad, and teeming with fishes and water fowl. The monotony ot this large expanse of water is relieved by five small Islande, on one of which is the village of Ottok. These islands are favorite resorts for picnic parties. The bottom of the lake Is formed of lime stone rock, and Is full of clefts and fissures. During prolonged dry weather the waters pass Into these caverns, carrying their nnny Inhabitants with them. The church bells give warning when the first sign of the sink ing of the lake Is observed, and the people hasten to make the most of the fishing while there is yet time. When the water has entirely disappeared, a crop of luxuriant herbage takes its place, affording pasture for the cattle of the neigh boring farmers, who are thus enabled to reap where before they went a-fishing. With the recurrence of heavy rains the lake gushes forth from its under-ground retreat, rises speedily to its normal level, and resumes Its ordinary appearance. Until a comparatively recent time the causes of the periodical disappearance of the lake were involved In mystery, and peo ple were content to accept as a fact that which they could not explain. In later years, however, scientific men have devoted many years of their lives to the task of exploring these under-ground recesses, and with the happiest results. Although the subterranean geography of this region has been, to the present, only sketched out still enough has been discover ed to satisfy them that many of the under ground passages extend to long distances, and it has been conclusively proved that the waters of the Zirknitz Lake at the periods of their recession flow through under-ground chanenls into the river Unz, which further on joins the river Suave, a tributary of the Danube.

The'Cincinnatl Enquirer says : From a gentleman who returned recently from a bu siness trip through Eastern Kentucky an Enquirer reporter learned the details of one of those atrocious murders which occur too often in that section. On the day of the last election, his story runs, an old feud, origi nating trom childish quarrels, broke out, and the result was tbe killing of one man in self- defence and the cold-blooded murder of three others. Tbe scene was at the polls at the mouth of Blackberry, in Pike county, about twenty-five miles from Pikeville. In that section are two families, the Chatfields and the McLoys, with numerous relations. The Chatfields are the most numerous, and physically are larger, the McLoys being small In stature. On the day of eleetlon one of the Chatfield clan approached a young man of the McLoy family, and swaggering up to him, said, "Jim McLoy, you don't vote here to-day unless you vote as I do." The young man answered that he did not want any trouble, and would not vote at all. " Yes you will," responded the bully. "We've made you grind apples for us on your knees before this, and if yon don't vote as I do to-day I'll make you." With this warning the bully swaggered off. Young McLoy went away and took a drink or so to arouse bis courage. A dozen jugs of " Mountain Dew " could be found not far from the polls, and were easy of access. After a while Chatfield returned, looking for McLoy, and found the young man in a place where escape was not easy. McLoy, be said, "have you voted yet?" " No," answered McLoy. " You'd better go and vote blamed quick, then ; and vote as 1 tell you." Young McLoy straightened himself up ; and with a voice trembling with rage, pro bably mingled with fear, said: " Chatfield, you've made me go down on my knees and grind apples for you, as you said, and hoe corn for you, but you can't make me vote but just as I please to-day." Chatfield responded to this with a fierce oath and a motion as though to draw a pistoL " If I've got to die I'm going to die like a man." With these words McLoy drew a clasp knife with a five inch blade and open ed it. His adversary fired, the ball grazing McLoy's head. The latter sprang at his tor mentor with a cry of rage, and made a slash which denuded the bone of one arm of its flesh from the shoulder to the elbow. Tben with powerful blows he slashed Chatfield across the breast from shoulder to waist and again in the other direction, then across the abdomen. Chatfield fell to tbe ground. Al though thus horribly wounded the man lived three hours and a half. McLoy fled a short distance, a fusilade of bullets followed him, but he escaped unhurt. Turning and facing the Chatfields, who had emptied their pistols, he said: "Gentle men, I believe I was in the right I defend ed myself. I give myself up." It was a terrible crowd to surrender him self to. Nearly all around him were of the Chatfield clan hardly a friend within sight A younger brother was present but he was powerless to aid, except to lay down his own life to satisfy the savage thirst for blood. No representative of law was there, and if he had been his office would have been a mockery. The man to whom he surrender ed himself was an uncle of the slain man, and when McLoy gave up his knife this man took it and said : " I've a great mind to chug it into you." In an instant five men jumped at the dis armed prisoner and grabbed him by the throat or shoulder or wherever they could lay their hands, and five pistol balls whizzed past his head. Ttiese men were crowded together too closely, or were unsteady from liquor, for none of the balls struck McLoy. Others took him from his infuriated assail ants, but with no intention of preserving his life, not even for the farce of a trial, as the sequel showed. McLoys'caprors took him across Tug river into West jY Irgin la. Afraid that the authori ties of that State would be better enforcers of the law than those of their own, they re turned with him on that or the next day. They had apparently made up their minds to a policy of extermination. They sent out parties and brought in McLoy's two brotb- ers, aged respectively twenty and eighteen years. Let it be remarked rifcht here that tbe second brother had been guilty of no other offense than being present when tbe killing occurred, while the boy of eighteen was not only not present but bad never taken any part in the feud between tbe two sets of men either by word or deed. Having captured the three boys, the party struck for the woods. Nothing more was seen of them, and after allowing sufficient time for vengeance to be wreaked, tbe.citl zen3 sent out a party to investigate. After some search the bodies were found in a thick et Tbe bovs had been made to stand in a row, their arms 'tied, each one with bis right arm to his neighbor's left, by green withes, and the two arms on tbe outside tied in the same manner to two saplings. Strung In this fantastic manner they could not have resisted a woman. Their captors were de termined to make themselves safe from the desperation of unarmed men. As they stood there, looking down a steep bill, they were shot dead by one shot each in the head, the bullets coming out at the forehead, or near it. A shallow trench was dug, the three bodies laid in it, feet to feet and a mound heaped over it sufficiently to give them four Inches of earth. The roving hogs or buz zards had completed tha burial. That or the next day the father of the boys came into town. He inquired of the suc cessful candidate for what office our infor mant could not remember what he should do, the tears streaming down his cheeks as be spoke. He received no sympathy. Then he went about and sold his team, and with the proceeds bought a Spencer rifle and am munition. To some one ne saia, nis voice husky with emotion : "I've bid good-bye to the old woman and the babies. I have robbed them to buy this and this is my sole dependence now." ne afterwards disappeared in the brush, and it is fair to be supposed that no relative of tbe Chatfields will pass him and live. The feud of these families, from all that could be learned from our informant who bad to be cautious about exhibiting any curi osityarose from children's quarrels. Rais ed on neighboring farms, they bad fonght while gathering nuts, splashed and ducked each other while bathing, and carried on their animosities until, as they grew to man hood, tbe Chatfields. being larger and strong er mea than tha McLoys, they made them slaves. It Is said to be true that they made McLoy, whose 'defense of himself brought on the murder, grind apples for them. Catch ing him one day while they were grinding for cider ln an old fashioned mill with a long sweep, they took the horse out and made him get down on his knees and push the sweep around until they became tired of the brutal fun. whipping him with rods to make him go faster. They have compe'.led the McLoys to go into their fields and boe their corn without pay. The McLoys were cow ards, of course, or they never would have submitted to this, but one Chatfield learned that it will not do to corner even a coward. MR. HOFFESSTEIVS BUGLE. "Mr. Hoffenstein," said Herman, as he folded up a pair of pants and placed them on a pile, "If you dont haf any objections 1 vould like to get from de store avay von j efening und go mit the soldiers to the Span- i ish Fort ?" j "Veil, Herman. I dinks you had pettar keep avay from the soldiers," replied Hof fenstein, nnd stay mit the store, because, J you know, you can't put any dependence ! mit the soldiers. I vill dell you vhy Yon day vile 1 vas in Vicksburg, during tbe var, a cock-eyed soldier came into my store mit a bugle in his band, und he looks around.

After de cock-eyed soldier went out de store, some more soldiers comes in und valk all around, vile dey looks at the goods. 'Sbentlemen,' I says, "do you vant anything?' Ve are just look In to see vat you haf,' said von of dem, and after a vhile another says, 'Bill, shust look dere at that bugle, de very ding the captain dold us to git. You know we don't haf no bugle in our company for six months. How much you dake for dot bugle?' I dells dem dot I can't sell de bugle because it belongs to a man who shuat went out I give you f urty dollars for it,' says de soldier, pulling bis money out I dells him I don't can sell it because it vas n't mine. 'I gif you a.hundred tollars,' be says. Den he offers me one hundred und twenty dollars for it My g-r-r-acious, Her man. I vants to sell de bugle so bad that I vistles.

Herman, I dink you had petter stay mit de store." About Dreams. A French physician, Dr. Delaunay , has just told some facts about dreams. These are embodied in a commu nication to the Societo De Biologic of Paris. It Is well known when a person is lyinz down the blood flows most easiiy to the brain. This is why some of the ancient philosophers worked out their thoughts in bed. Certain modern thinkers have Imitated this queer method of industry. During sleep, so long as the head is laid low dreams take place of coherent thoughts. There are, however, different sorts of dreams, and Dr. Delaunay's purpose in his original communication is to show that the manner of lying npon the back. The fact is explained bv the connee- tlon which is lljlh to 1- n n. n A ..Dk WMfrAMH 1 nuueru n rwii uriscru Alio organs of sensation and the posterior part ot the brain. The most general method of lying, perhaps, is on tbe right side ; and this appears to be also the most natural method, for many persons object to lying on the side of the heart, which, it has been more than once asserted, 6bould have free action during sleep. Nevertheless Dr. Delaunay's state ments hardly harmonize with this opinion. When one sleeps npon the right side, that is to say upon the right si de of tbe brain, one's dreams have marked and rather unpleasant characteristics. These characteristics, bow ever, are essentially those which enter into tbe popular defiance of dreams. One's dreams are then apt to be illogical, absurd, childish, uncertain, incoherent full of viva city and exaggeration. Dreams which come from sleeping on the right side are. In short, simple deceptions. They bring to the mind very old and faint remembrances, and they are often accompanied by nightmares. Dr. Delaunay points out that sleepers frequently compose verse or rhythmical language while they are lying on tbe right side ; this verse, thought at times correct enough, is absolute ly without sense. The moral faculties are then at work, but the intellectual faculties are absent. On the other hand, when a per son slumbers on his left brain, his dreams are not only less absurd, they may also be intelligent. They are, as a rule, concerned with recent things, not with reminiscences. And since the faculty of articulated language Is found on the left side, the words altered during such dreams are frequently compre hensible. FoLLOWiyn is the opinion of the editor of the London Truth in regard to the education of children : "The school hours ought to be shortened. All the work should be done in school, in alternate hours for study and repe tition. There should be no evening prepa ration at home and no child ought to be taught anything but to tell the truth, and say 'ir you please,' and 'No, thank you, much before 7 years of age. Two years later he would, I venture to predict, be a far better scholar than the average 9-year-old victim of the school board, and he would furthermore have at least the chance of being a fine, healthy, happy, and well-grown urchin."

A STORY OF A P1FXE OF PAPER. The banker in these days says an exchange, does not sit ln his easy chair and wait for either depositors or borrowers. He sits around to find customers, and offers Induce ments to secure deposits. One advantage offered to country banks by some metropoli tan bankers seeking their deposits Is to col lect all sorts of checks for them. As a result of this custom these banks often receive checks and drafts on rlaces where they have no correspondent. Now if they should send the paper on for payment they would be charged for collection, a dead loss to them. They, therefore, tr3 when possible, to shore it on some correspondent bank of theirs nearer the point to be reached, in hopes that they can collect it free, and save what In most cases is not more than a quarter of a dollar. This would seem like rather small business, and the journey that a little check for f 25 has made during tbe last nine days before reaching Us destination is only an ex aggerated example of the folly of this course. Liberty, in London, and North Lewisburg, in Champaign, are two towns about twenty miles apart Last week a check was depos ited iu tbe bank at tbe former place, drawn on tbe latter. Tbe bank wanted to aave twenty-five cents, and so that check went down to a Cincinnati bank 150 miles; from Cincinnati, at a venture it was shipped to Columbus ; the Columbus man dldnt see why be should pay a collection fee, so he wrote a letter and sent that check to Marys ville, near but on the other side of Lewis burg ; from Marysville that check went to Springfield, thence to Urbana, and from Urban a to Cincinnati again, this time to bank who was the correspondent here of the Lewisburg bank, and it has been sent on for payment. Tbe check is a curious object. It Is covered with indorsements and stamps, and having completed only half oj its jour ney when tbe back was full, the paper was turned over and the transfers continued up the face. The check has made eight trips, making remarkably good time.and tbe letter writing and entries that it has caused are but half finished. If the check be paid now, tbe bank at Lewisburg must notify the Cincin nati bank, they the bank they receive it from, and so back to the bank at Liberty, each bank passing tbe entry throughout their book again, and devoting time, Ink, paper, and postage stamps to this trivial check, so that it will be fully three weeks until the de positor of that check knows whether it la paid. The bank here who forwarded the check to Lewisburg has offered l for it after it is canceled, as a curiosity. But besides tbe trouble and expense to the banks, there is a more important reason why this way of business should be discour aged. Checks and drafts should be collected as quickly as possible. A bank roaj fail, or, what more often happens, a man's account may be good one day and not the next day, or, as in this case, after ten days. Banks should not offer to collect free except where they have correspondents, as most well es-' tablished banks do, unless they expect to lose tbe chartre themselves. It would seem that customers should prefer to pay a small fee for prompt collection to the devious course that some paper now takes to avoid its pay ment A Baked Head. There resides in this county, between Dubuque and Itockdale, a girl about seventeen years of age, who has no hair on the top of her head, and never will have. The cause of this is worth relat ing. About seventeen years ago a well known physician of this city was called upon by a woman with an infant in her arms, and asked that the babe be treated fur a peculiar ailment The top of the child's bead seemed to be coming off ; iu fact the skull was al ready parted at the sutures, and was liable in a short time to be entirely loose. The physician made some inquiries, and learned the following facts : The father and mother had gone home from Dubuque one night with a bottle of liquor, and after drinking until they were stupid from the effectsof the fluid, laid down in front ot the fire place and went to sleep. The fire was burning brightly and threw out a steady hat The infant became rustless during the night, but its movemeuts did not arouse the mother. Finally the little one crept from its mother's arms, and laid down near the hearth, with its head close to the fire. In this position It remained until morning, when the parents, having slept off the effects of their debauch, awoke and picked up the infant which was in a stuoor, : A II A e. a- ,. A f J.L V.'1. "Lil ' inrrncniv laiiJlUK lui n irw uiuuirins. - . . . . . , - ... . j After while the skin t-n the top of the head began to peel off. and at length the en tire upper portion of the cranium seemed to be loose. Then it was that the mother brought the child to Dubuque, and consult ed a physician. After hearing her story the phvsician came to the conclusion that the child's head had been literally baked by the fire, before which it had slr?pt that eventful night He also discovered that tbe child's life was in danger, and that It won Id be im possible to prevent the urper portion of the skull from coming ofl. He took the child under treatment, and in a short time be re moved a piece of skull three or four inches lonfe, and over two inches wide. This oper ation was very delicately performed, and in a few weeks a thin membrane formed, which protected the brain. The child lived and thrived, and is to-day a young woman, al though she will always be compelled to wear a wig. The parents feel under lasting obli gations to tne physician for saving their child, and to this day show their apprecia tion. The story seems almost Incredible, but Is entirely true, Dubuque Telegraph. XyOVE Uwder Peculiar Circcm stances. When the French sought to establish a monarchy in Mexico a Mazatlan youth raised a regiment against such of the tnvadera as appeared in Sinaloa a warfare that told. The young man's father was of Castiiiaa blood and his mother was a Mexican. His name. Corona, soon became famous, and at the age of twenty-five he was regarded aa the Mosby of Mexico. At tbe end of the war ne was a major general, the hero of sol diers and the idol of Mazatlan society. He was six feet tall, broad shouldered, hand some and daring. While attending a ball at the American Hotel, at Mazatlan, he stum bled over a domestic, knocking a tray from her band. Stooping to pick up the crockery, Gen. Corona noticed that the girl was vvry pretty and very saucy. She told him that ner name was Betty Bowman that her mother was a San Francisco washerwoman, and that he ought to know better than to rush headlong down a dark stairway. Cor ona made love to the American miss, and be fore leading for the capital be had learned of her Irreproachable though very humble life.
