Thrilling Story A few days age, as I was riding en an out-of-the-way railroad m one of the old second cars of some mere prosperous read, I was very much annoyed by the incessant rattling of the,, car windows. 'Tis said that misery loves company, and I at last shouted my feelings en the sub ject te the passenger beside me a middle aged business-looking man who shouted back : " Yes, it's pretty noisy, but it don't mean anything and ain't dangerous." " What !" I shouted, thinkiug he had net caught my meaning. " I say it's perfectly meaningless, and don't mean any mischief," he shouted, smiling. " What the mischief de you mean ?" I shouted. " Yeu probably never heard a window talk rationally, net te say intelligently '."' he shouted. " Net that I can remember," said I a little ironically. " Did you '.'" " I have," said he, " and as seen as we step I will net only make a window talk, but will probably get an answer from some ether window." I began te think that I had let the man cod me long enough and became very much interested in the scenery along the read. " Centroville ! Twenty minutes for dinner !" shouted the brakeman, opening the deer, after screwing up the old fash ioned brrkc. . When we had stepped my neighbor touched me en the shoulder and said : " New, just let me sit by that window and I will show you something amusing, and afterwards tell you a story for thereby hangs a tale." I changed seats with him, and he taking held of the window, began te rattle it at a lively rate, pausing every few seconds te listen. Pretty seen I was surprised te hear a window in the ether end of the car behind us rattle in the same manner. " New," said the stranger, " ask me a question about the back of soma special person sitting behind without either of us looking behind." "Well," said I, "describe te me the ap pearance of the back of the head of, say the outside passenger in the third scat be hind us." He rattled the window and then lis tened te the answering window. Then he said : "There i.s no parson sitting just there ; Try ajrain." I looked, and sure enough, he was tight. Se made it the lifth scat. "Short, black hair, parted behind, ene side grey, high shirt cellar and coat cellar turned up. Railroad ticket in the back of his hat," said my companion, as he lis tened te the window. Stepping back I found that thn de scription was correct, one side of the man's head being turned white, probably from disease. "Hew did you de it'.'" I asked as I leek my seat again. "Uy telegraph," said he. "I at firs,t sounded the signal word ' Fire !' ever and ever till it caught the 1 rained ear of an opcrater-iu the ether cud of the car and he telegraphed what I wanted te knew. Se you see that a window may rattle in telligibly." "Yes," said I, "and new about the tale which hangs thereby.'' . He was about te begin when the train started and the unintelligible rattling of the windows stepped him, se he deferred it till we arrived at the junction, where we were te wait a few hours for another. Then we three (the operator had joined us) seated ourselves comfortably, and the stranger began. "Ten years age I was a telegraph op erator at a small town in New Jersey, but my health failing, I gave up my situation, and taking an agency, traveled westward until I reached San Francisce. While thci c I took a ancy te visit a mining region ; se selecting suitable goods for mining, I went and satisfied my curiosity, made a little money and was returning in the stage coach, when the accident I am about te relate occurred, or at least began te occur. "There were besides myself thrce in side passengers ; an old gentleman of sixty and two roughly dressed men, ap parently miners. These two men sat at opposite ends of the coach, net appear ing te knew each ether, while the old gen tleman and myself sat close together. I noticed that the old gentleman had a tin or iron box between bis legs which he seemed te be anxious te keep ent of sight. " After a short conversation with him en all subjects I allowed myself te drift into a deze ; and while in that condition my car, trained as it was te intelligent sound of the telegraph instrument, caught a faint tic, which resolved itself in the following words : "Bill the young one is going te sleep and I will tend te him while you pitch the old ene out ever the precipice when I make the signal and secure the box." " I was new as wide awake as if I had been 'called' by an operator te receive a message ; but I pretended te be still dozing while! listened intently. Then I heard tlie wiudew rattle and it read : " All right, Beb. We will be at the Big Jump in twenty minutes and then give the word and out he gees." "Taking a eurieus leek from between my eyelids I saw that ene of the villians was telegraphing by vibrating the knifo knife bladc between his teeth, while the ether used the window for that purpose, neither of them appearing te uotice the ether. I knew the precipice te which they re ferred, a terrible place where a miner had once jumped off in a fit of despair at his bad luck, from which it was known as the Big Jump. Hew te communicate te the old gentleman I was at a less te determine but finally I took ent a newspaper aud un derscored the words in a lengthly editorial which, if read consecutively, would read, "Be cautious, sir. These two villians here intend te murder and rob us in ten minutes. When I arise you attack the one with the moustache and I will take the ether. Kill if necessary." " I then handed the paper te the old gentleman, saying : " Have you read this sir ? " It's an excellent editorial." " He took the paper, put en his glasses and commenced te read. Soen the under scored words drew bis attention and he began le study them. Then I saw him grew pale and feel for his box with his feet. Handing me back the paper he said significantly : ' De you believe that, .sir ?" " I knew it te be true sir !" I said. " Horrible !" said be, slipping his hand into his breast pocket, a stern leek com ing into his face as he added : "I be lieve that I'd feel like sheeting some one." " I saw I had a man of courage te help inc, se I cared net for the villainous smile his remark brought te one of the ruffian's face. I saw we were near the Big Jump and wcre going down a steep grade at a lively rate when one of the villains tele graphed : New ?" The next minute I was en him knocking him senseless with my revolver. The old gentleman did equally well, the ruffians being taken completely by surprise at our sudden attack. We had passed the pre cipice new, and calling te the driver te step, he and the one eutside passenger helped us te bind our prisoners, whom we left inside, while we climbed en top. But when we had reached Sacramento we found they had dropped out along the read. ' The old gentleman introduced himself as Mr. Stamford, a Sacramento banker, and insisted en my accepting the hospital ity of his home, saying that I had saved his life and a large amount of money. I consented and was driven with him te the handsome residence en the outskirts of the city, where I was introduced te his wife and two daughters, the former a kind, motherly woman, and the latter a hand some brunette and a pretty blonde. " Three weeks' step at Rose Hill, Mr. Stamford's home, with its lovely walks amid a wealth of tropical flowers, and the society of Ella and -Blanche Stamford, levlier if net mere beautiful than the flow ers that bloomed around them, enlyserved te make me wish for a longer stay ; and when Mr. Stamford offered me a position in his banking house, I most gladly accept ed it, net failing te take courage in the evident delight of the fair Blanche (whom I theugt the levlier of the two sisters) when I told her of the offer and decision." "About this time Mr. Stamford at his wife's request, replaced two Irish servants with two Chinamen, much te the former's denunciation. Mrs. Stamford was loud in her praise of her new help, who seemed te be quiet, active, orderly fellows, always ready, willing, and always te be found at their pests. " Te these two spoon gebbcrs,' as the Ii Lsli called Ah Ah Wing and Ah Lee, I somehow conceived a decided aversion. There was, I thought, a sinister leek about their eyes (which seemed te be cut less en the bias than usual with Mongolians), which sent a chill ever me, whenever I met their gaze. " Nene of the members seconded my dislike of the chinaman except Blanche, who seemed te think exactly as I did, (which I accepted as another sign of en couragement), all the rest attributing it te my dislike of the Mongolians as a race. " One quiet summer night I had retired te my room in the second story, and lay thinking of the happy possibility of Blanche Stamford returning the leve I felt for her, when my attention was attracted by the rattling of a hall window. There was net a breath of air stirring te produce such a sound, and I was about rising te ascertain the cause, when it ceased, and the window en the next fleer be gan te i attic. Then I caught the meaning of it. Sonie one was telegraphing with the sashes. " I listened and presently the second story window telegraphed : " Everything quiet up there, Beb ?" "Quiet as a stiff. Old one blowing his horn. Hew is the youngster down there?" answered the upstair window. " Net quite yet. When I write ' go,' then de your best. Dead men fell no talcs. As seen as yen have finished your man ceme up here and help me with the women." " II is our old stage robber at work again, no doubt. Hew they gained access te the house 1 was at a less te account fer: it was guarded by a burglar alarm and a watch deg. Arising and partly dressing, I took my revolver and stepped softly out into the hall, and approaching the win dow, where j found Ah Lee standing. "What are you doing here," I demanded. "Come te leek ee see. Think I heah some mans heppe out the window," he said, blandly. "Well," said I, "you go downstairs and bring me a glass of water and a lemon te my room." " All lilce, me will," said Ah Lee, as he glided down the stairway. As seen as he was out of hearing, I took held of the window and telegraphed : "Youngster i.s awake and coming up stairs. Ge hide in the closet till he comes back." "All right," answered the upstairs win dow. "Then I went up stairs softly in my stocking feet, and softly turned the key in the hall closet : after which I telegraphed with the up stairs window : " Keep quiet down there. Youngster is up here talking te old one. Hide in the the library till he comes back and gees te bed." "Dees he suspect anything?" came back from down stairs. " Ne," I answertd. " He i.s telling the old one he is going te 'Ftisce in the morn ing. Hide ! lie is coming down stairs." " All right," came back, and arousing Mr. Stamford, I told him hew matters steed, and we descended the stiirs and turned the key in the library deer. The desperado heard the click of the lock and became frightened and raised the window te jump out ; but I leaned out of the hall window and ordered him back. Fer an answer he turned aud fired at me, the ball gtazing my cheek and slitting my car." Hear the narrator pointed te a long scar en his lefc check and his cut car and con -tinned : "The next moment I tired -and the viliiau fell headlong into the garden. Wc then returned up stairs and secured Ah Wiug from whom we stripped paint and ether disguises, revealing ene of the stage coach robbers. Ah Lee, whom we found in the garden, dead, proved te be the ether one. " " The ladic3 new made their appearance, terribly frightened, and cre an explanation could be given Blanche rushed at me, her face pale with fear and catching me by the arm cried?" " Oh Charles, are you hurt ? ' ' " Only a scratch, Blanche, " I said in a low tone ; but she did net bear me for she had fainted in my arms. The next day we notified the authorities te whom we delivered the prisoner, aud save bends for the appearance iu regard te the killing, from which the coroner's jury exonerated us by a-verdict of justifi able homicide. " "It was nearly neon before I again saw Blanche, aud then she tried te avoid me ; but drawing her arm in mine I led her te a pretty summer house and said : "Blanche, I love you ; de you leve me in return?" " She hid her face against my breast and whispered : "Oh, se much!" "Thrce months afterwards we were married, and I never hear a window rattle without thinking'ef the warning it twice gave me, being the means of saving a num ber of lives and gaining me se lovely and loving a wife. "This, gentlemen, is a true story, you cau repeat it as such without fear, for the names I have given yen are fictitious, it net being necessary te give the true names." Such was my fellow passenger's story. Half an hour later we parted, each going his own way. We have never met since, but being reminded of his story by a rat tling window, I have endeavored te give it just as e told it, names and all. Carious Hail Storms. Hundreds or Birds Killed aud Uuch Prop erty Destroyed Near Geneva. A Geneva letter te the Londen Times says : Wednesday's bail storm, the occurrence of which I mentioned in my despatch of that day, has occasioned much greater damage in this canton and in Savey than the first accounts led me te suppose. The phenomena that attended it were both singular and impressive. Between 3 and 4 o'clock in the morning a thunder storm of extraordinary violence, coming from the region of the Jura, burst ever the valley of the Leraan, above Geneva. Fer the space of mero than an hour the thunder and lightning were incessant. The light ning was of a bright red color, the flashes followed each ether se rapidly that there was no visible solution of their continuity. All this time there was no down-fall. Then, about 4:30, two great columns of hail, unaccompanied by rain, were pro jected from the clouds. One seemed te come from the west, by the Fert de l'Eclusc, the ether from the northwest, Uy the Cel de la Fattcille. In three min utes the hail was followed by a heavy down-fall of rain, which continued several hours ; but in these three minutes incal culable damage had been done. None of the hailstones wcre smaller than hazelnuts, while many wcre as lug as pigeons' eggs. Se thickly did they fall that the fields in many places wcre as white as in mid-winter ; and in the after noon, after twelve hours' rain and sun shine, they lay en the ground in heaps. Even this morning they wcre net all geno. The vines and fruit trees which were struck by the storm are utterly ruined ; the ground was strewn in all directions with bunches of grapes, pears, apples and plums, and a grape, if ever se slightly touched by a hailstone is spoiled. After a few days' exposure te the sun it begins te decay and is of no use for wine-making. Many of the paasants are in despair, for they wcre counting en the vintage, which was of splendid premise, te make geed te them the losses they have incurred by the long dreuth. There was no wind and the hail fortunately fell straight ; otherwise the damage wenld have been much great er. Skylights wcre broken, reefs dam aged and conservatories and ether glass houses almost destroyed ; but the win dows, for the most part, are untouched. The birds, as may be supposed, were great sufferers. At Celianges, en the ether side of the lake, COO dead and muti lated swallows, shaffinehes, and sparrows were picked up in the Place de l'Eglise, under thrce piano trees, iu the branches of which they had sought refuge from the storm. BeHerive, also en the ether side of the lake, was still mere uufertuuatu ; jf was both devastated by the hail and struck by lightning. Many fine trees were burst asunder ; and the pieces wcre thrown te a distance of fifty paces. On Saturday last an equally destructive storm visited the district of the Morgcs,alse en the lake, and en Sunday a pillar of hail, as it is here t.ie custom te destgnate a hail storm, committed great havoc valley of Breie, canton Vaud tobacco plants were pretty all destroyed, and Granges in the The nearly alene (a small cemmune of only 800 inhabitants) sustained damage te thecxtcnt os 40,000f. But calamitous as these storms have been, they arc surpassed by that of July, 187.1, vhen hardly a whole pane of glass was left in the canton of Geneva, trees were stripped of their foliage, and calves killed while grazing in the fields ; or the ene that befell a few weeks age in Aargau, when the hail literally plowed up the ground, smashing nngatlicred potatoes as if they had been pounded in a mortar. A gentleman who had passed a long life iu the canton assures me that the hail storms of July, 1873, and that of last Wednes day are the most destructive that have occurred within his recollection ; aud his recollection gees back half a ecu tury.

Synopsis et a Lecture Delivered by Airs. Docter Kenten, Before tne Weman's Society of New England. Frem the Heme Journal, Mew Yerk. In all agc30f the world, poets, scientists and men of prominence have looked with enthu siasm eltcn akin te reverence upon woman ; but it is only within the last few years that she lias begun te assume her riisht place, net only in society, but with the world in general. Why se desirable an end should have been se long delayed it isdillicultte understand; but. that it has at last come is certainly cause for grati tude. In her social sphere, in her mental de velopment and especially in her physical im provement, woman has shown wonderful ad vancement and such as astonishes the world. They who have made a careful investigation tell us that heathen women are much mere able te endure pain than are the women et civilization, but civilized women would re cent the charge that they are weaker because they are civilized. A distinguished writer says: "If the women of civilization are less able te endure the taxation of their physical resources man arencaiiien women, it is a mere accidental circumstance and one within their control." Let us consider ler a moment the possibili ties which present tiieniselves te every wo man. When the body is liealthy beauty i.s cer tain te appear, even in leaturesund lormsencc plain; indeed. It is the only known way le be come, beautiful, and all ether preparations, powders, stays and laces arc contemptible de lusions. With health anil beauty In all their attractiveness a new life dawns. KXIOYMENT lUKlISS and all the luxurious attendants of a healthy body come forth. The maiden leels the glor ious responsibilities "et life; the mother be comes conscious el the grandouref maternity and the joys of a family. All this is net only woman's privilege, it is her duy, and it em bodies the highest definition et "woman's rights." Alter enumerating many of the blessings that fellow perleet health the speaker con tinued : All these desirable thiugs can be accomplish ed, but in one way only. The creator has given both woman and man perleet physical lerms, and each is constitutionally equal te all natural demands. It is a mistaken ami pernicious notion that one is strong and the ether weak. Ne curse was pronounced upon woman which did net apply with equal penal ty airainst man. If women believed the latal ism that disease is a necessary condition et their existence is It cluelly because the disci ples et the schools et medical practice have been utterly incapable of competing with the multitude of ills which, by personal careless ness or professional incempetency, they have permitted te fasten upon women. A few weeks age 1 received a call lrem a charming lady, whose earnest face clearly showed that she desired advice and assistance. Upen questioning her she stated that she be lieved she was Mificrin; from a paralyzed liver and wi-.li l le knew if I could iu any way aid her lecevery. New, imperfect as her statement va- iu regard te the dUca-e which troubled her, there is no doubt that THOUSANDS Ol" WOMEN are sullcring te-day, from similar troubles, who de net recognize llictr cause se nearly as this lady did. Paralysis means death of the member paralyzed and torpidity of the liver i.-, t he II let stage of Its dissolution. This i.s one et thejmeht. serious questions that can arise in the experience et any woman ; for a torpid ami diseased liver cannot be cured at once. and it carries with it the elements et disease te all the ether parts of the system. With an imperfect liver, billieusness, languor, a sense of bearing down, constipation, displacements, uterine troubles ami the thousand ills which arc coupled iu their train.ceme thick and fast. Then fellow impure bleed and all the evils which an imperfect circulation cause. A de rangement ni the kidneys or liver causes disease iu the organs which adjoin them just as certainly as a bad peach injures the ether peaches in the basket. Net only this, imt when these organs are iu a healthy state they restore and keep iu order any irregularity which may occur in the lower portion of the bed v. Ne woman was ever seriously sick for any length of time when such was the case. Se serious inilamalleu cau effcur when the bleed is pine ami no bleed can be impure when the liver or kidneys an: in perfect order. I have 7eeii very nuichet the troubles and ills te which women have been subjected, ami I have learned te sympathize while I have senght te relieve. In endeavoring le carry relief 1 have, tried le be Iree from prejudice and have in view but one .end namely le hclpthee who are sullcring; and I teel it is my privilege le day te state that I believe there is a means whereby these women who are sutfeiiug can obtain complete relief ami these who are iu health becentinuad In its en jeyment. A few years age a prominent ami wealthy gentleman rc.-,inng in Kecncsicr, .n. Y., wa-, given up te die of Ilright's dkca-e of the kidneys.

TIipie letters are sacred, and cannot be given te the public, but they over whelmingly verily all the tacts above stated. Nature has given woman a delicate, watchful, alert instinct and she has found this remedy te lu whatherrxferyear.s has needed, te restore and maintain the perleet ion et nature. She resents the imputation that she is hound te sutler all the ills that attack her. She recog receg uize3 that sutleriug i.s but an incident et her existence, and that this incident is wholly within her control, if she can lind the neces sary helps which natuie provides. The change able character of our climate, thepftimes ex acting enervating customs of society, el fashion audel necessity, till conspire te impair the vitality el women, if we add te these the exhausting duties of motherhood, and the mental anxiety ler the success of her husband in all ids laudableambitieus, wiiich play upon her energies, is it surprising that thus bur dened she should breakdown under the physi cal strain ; iy no means en the centrai y the wonder is that she nas maintained her physi cal strength as she has. i have net the time te elaborate this point. Yen yourselves very well knew what the cir cumstances are which have rendered her life a burden. Yeu also knew that the riserAuv cause ct; physical degeneration Is impure bleed. The performance et the natural functions of womanhood and motherhood is net a disease, nor should it be se treated. Disease is the re sult of the trJinsgres'-iens ei physical laws by our ancestors or by ourselves, and the natural ceursings of the bleed should net be se con sidered. It, however, the bleed be impure, it is certain te produce its poisonous effects in the parts with which it comes in contact, and tints cause inflammations and the innumer able ills that make the physical life of woman se hard te endure. An enumeration of the troubles te which woman is subjected, and the adaptability Of the rcmcuv aneve nauien ier ineir cure was then made by the speaker, who centinued: I am aware a prejudice exists airalnst pre prietary medicines, and that such prejudice is .:oe often well-founded, but wc should dis criminate in our judgments and net condemn ill because some are inctlicicnt. The merits of Warner's Sate Kidney and Liver Cure have been proven beyend a doubt, beeaiise they leal directly with the causes of all female treubles: thevclfcct and control the bed v ei the tree rather than Its branches. Warner's Safe Kidney anil Liver Cure lias indeed been a blessing ter tnc rich ; si been te the peer. It has lifted men from a bed et dcatli and restor ed them te vigor aud health. But greater and better than all tills, it has come te woman, has raised her, restored her and kept her in con stant hopefulness and health. It lias kept back disease by fitting the systenvte rcsUt Its attacks; it has regulated the life, purified the sources of life, and brought innumerable blessings out et numberless woes. The women et America, both young and eld. have greater opportunities te-day than these of any land in any age. Their rights are mero fully recognized, their privileges greater and their possibilities unlimited. They arc per mitted te enjoy Hie te iu fullest extent, and te de this their bodies most be unimpaired. I congratulate the women of this lree land that the Keenness et their perceptions has led them te discover their necessities and what will satisry them. I congratulate them that they, who have reaped the greatest benefits lrem the scientific researches or independent inves tigation, arc te-day the most enthusiastic pro claimed et the merits of this great remedy et which I have spoken. The spirit of intoler ance, I may say in conclusion, se rampant in this age et free investigation when all things are judged by what they are and net by what they seem, must eventually give vay te the better, wiser, nobler liberality in which alone I Cull IJU 1UUIIII I1UU di.uw.j , .. ww jfu.u, v. u. health and true happiness.
