A Railway Train Saved Supernaturally.
The Xenia (Ohio) Xtics is pnbiisfiiiijr a
scries of reminifcenccs by an engineer. In No.
24 of bis series the writer gives the following
rather startling incident: "I was running a
night express train, and hnd a train of ten curs
—eight passenger and two baggage cars—
and all well loaded. I was behind time, and
was very anxious to make a certain point ;
therefore I was using every exertion, and put
ting the engine to the utmost speeed of which
6ue was capable. 1 wason aseetion of the road
nsuaily considered the best running ground on
the line, and was endeavoring to make the
most of it, when a conviction struck me that
I must stop. A something told me that I
must stop if I would save life. I looked back
at my train; it was all right. I strained my
eyes and peered into the darkness, and could
see no signal of danger nor anything betoken
ing danger, and there I could see live miles iu
the daytime. I listened to the working of my
engiue, tried the water, looked at the scales.and
all was right. I tried to laugh myself out of
what I then considered a childish fear, bat,'
like Bauquo's ghost, it would not down at my
bidding, but grew stronger in its hold upon me.
I thought cf the ridicule I would have heaped
upon me if I did stop; but it was all of uo j
avail. The conviction—for by this time it'
had ripened into a conviction—that I must j
Btop, grew stronger, and I resolved to stop. —
Accordingly, I came to a dead halt, got off,
and went ahead a little way, without saying to 1
anybody what was the matter. I had a lamp j
in my hand, and had gone about sixty feet,,
when I saw what convinced me that premoni
tions are sometimes po>sible. I dropped the
lantern from my nerveless grasp, and sat down?
on the track, utterly unable to stand, for there
was a switch, the thought of which had never :
entered mv mind, as it had never been used ;
since I had beer, on the road, and was known !
to be spiked, but which was now opeu to lead !
me ofl" the track. This switch led off into a j
stone quarry, from which stone for bridge pur
. poses had been quarried, and the switch was
left there, in case stone should be needed at
any time; but it was always kept locked,
and the switch rail spiked. Yet here it was
wide open, and had I not obeyed my premoni
tion—warning—call it what you will— I should
have run into it. At the end of tiie track,
only about ten rods along, my engine and tain j
moving at the rate of forty miles per hour !
would have came iuto collision with a solid j
wall of rock, eighteen feet high. The conse
quences had I done so, can neither be imagin- ,
ed or described; but they could, by no possi- ,
bility, have been otherwise than fatally horrid. ;
This is my experience in getting warnings from |
a source that I know not and cannot divine, j
It is a mystery to me—a mystery for which 1
am vhey thankful, however, although I dare 1
cot attempt to explain it or say whence it!
came."
A STORY is told of Dick, a darkey in Ken
tucky, who was a uotorious thief, so vicious
in this respect that all the thefts in the neigh- j
borhoods were charged to him; on one occa !
6ion, Mr. .Jones, a-neighbor of Dick,s master,
called and said that Dick most be sold out of i
that part of the country, for he had stolon ali
his (Mr. Jones') turkeys. Dick's master could
not thiak so. The two, however, went into the
field where Dick was at work, and accused
him of the theft.
"You stole Mr, Joue3' turkeys," said the j
master.
"No I didn't massy," responded Dick.
The master persisted.
" Well," at length said Dick," I'll tell you
massy, I didn,t steal dein turkeys, but last i
night when 1 went across Mr. Jones, pasture I
saw one cf our rails on de fence, so I brought
homede rail, and confound it when I come to
look, dare was nine tnrueys on derail!"
KF: HAVE the following good one from an
authentic source:
A sub-committee of a school hoard not a
thousand miies from this city, were examining j
a class in a primary school. Que of the com
mitte undertook to sharpen their wits by pro
pounding the following question:
"If I had a mince pie, and should give two
twelfths to Isaac, two twelfths to Ilarry, and
two twelfths to John, and keep half the pie
myself, what would there be left ?"
* There was piofouml study among the schol
ars, but finally one lad held up his hand as a
signal that be was ready to give an answer.
"Well, sir,what would be left. Speak loud?"
" The plate!"
The committee man turned red, while the
other member roared aloud. That boy was ex
cused from answering any more questions.
The brightest bov of the class examined
for admissian to the Annapolis Naval Ac
ademy, was a little fellow from Texas, about
fifteen years of age, who had been three years
seting type ia a newspaper office, and had
studied mathematics and arithmatic with a
dip candle in thegarlet of a log cabin at night,
lie was poorly clad when lie reached Annap
olis, and on being asked how lie obtained the
means to reach Annapolis, replied that be
worked for it and that his money fulling short
on the route had got some small jobs of typeset
ting in New Orleans and other points of his
jonrney. If he should not be admited he ex
pectcd to work his way home again. He is
now to be seen on board the Constitution in
Lis naval uniform, with his gilt buttons and
anchor, looking as bright aed hopeful as if
he autcipated becoming a Commodore.
A FF.W FACTS ABOUT MINORITY PRESIDENTS.— T
The democratic papers are deriving what com
fort they can from the reflection that Lincoln
is a minority President—in other words that
he has not a majority of the whole vote poll
ed. Now, Mr. Lincoln has in round numbers,
2,000,000 votes, and that is more than any
President before him ever got ; and very few
of our Presidents, within the last 40 years,
have had a majority of the popular vote.—
Jackson and Harrison were about theonlv ex
ceptions. There was a majority of 36,000
ngainst John Quincy Adams in 1824, and
James K. I'uik was in a minority of 30,000 in
1844, as was Van Buren id 1836 The popu
lar majority ngainst Gen. Taylor was 151,708
and the majority agaiust Buchanan iu 1856
was 377,620.
ONE evening, we are told, after a weary
march through the desert, Mohammed was
camping with bis followers, and overhaul one
of them saying, " I will loose my camel and
commit it to God;' on which Mohammed took
it up. "Friend tie thy camel, and commit it
to God"—that is, do whatever is t'uiue to do,
tad leave the i?ce with God.
