On the road once more, with Leban•
on fading away in the distance,, the fat
pweligeidrammingidly'on thewindow
pane, flie - ciess passenger sauna asleep
and the tall thin passenger reading
'Gen. Grant's Tour Around the World"
and wondering why:'Green's August
Flower' should he` pririted above the
doors of a *Bnddhist temple at BebiZes.!
To me coma the brakes:4n, and seining
himself on the ana - of the seat:opt'
'I went to'ihrirah,TesterdaY.'
'Yes 1 1 ' I said; with thaiiiiteieib4 fq

a'bianch. Good enough, but I don't
like.it.' , . .
:Episcopal ?' I-guessed.
'Limited express ,' he said, 'all palac e
cars and two dollars for an extra seat,
fast time and only stop at the big sta.
tions. Nice line, but- too exhaustive
for a brakeman. All train men id uni
form, conductor's punch and lantern
silver plated, and no train boys allowed.
Then the passenger are allowed to talk
hick to the conductor, and it makes
them too free and easy. No, I couldn't
stand the palaez cars. Bich road,
thong. Don't often I:tear of a receiver
- tieing appointed for that line. Some
mighty nice people traielon it, too.'
'Universalist 2' 1 suggested.
'Broad gua3e,' said the brakeman;
'does too much complimentary busi
ness. Everybody travels on . a pass.
Conductor doesn't get a fare once in
fifty miles. Stops at all flag stations
and won't :nn into anything but a Union
depot. No smoking car on the train.
Train orders are rather vague though
and the train men don't get along well
with the,passengers. No I don't go to
- the Universalist, though I know some
awfully good men who run on the road.'
!Presbyterian ?' I asked.
'Narrow gnsge, eh ?',said the brake
man, 'pretty track, straight as a rule;
tunnel right throdgh a mountain rather
than go around it; spirit level grade;
passengerli have to show their ticketn
before they:get on that train. Mighty;
strict road, but the ears area little nar..
_row; have to sit one, in a seat 'and no'
room in the aisle to dance.
'Then there ire no stop over tickets
allowed; got to go streight through to
the station yoU're ticketed for, or you
Can't,get on at all. When the car is
full no empty coaches; cars built at the
shop.:_to hold just so rhany and nobody
else allotted on. Bat you don't often
hear of an 'accident on that road. Its
run up to the rules.' r
'Maybe you joined the Free Thin
*era ?' I said.
•Scrub road' said the brakeman;''dirt
road bed, and no 'ballasts; no time card
and no train dispatcher. All train run
wild, and every engineer makes his own
time, just as he,pleases. Smoke if you
want to; kind of a go-as -you-please
road. Too many side tracks,!andfevery
switeh.wide open all the time , with the
switchmen sound asleep and 'the target
lamp dead out. Get on when you
please and get off_ when you want to.
ain't have to show your tioketti, and
the - conductor isn't expected to do any
thing but amuse the passengers. No
air; I waisoffered a: pass, but I don't like
the. line. I don't like- I to - travel on a
road that has ho terminus. Do you
know, .sir, I asked a division superin
' tendent where the read ran to, and he
said he hoped to die if -he knew. I
wilted him if the general superintendent
could 'tell me t : and he said he didn't
believe they had any general suet., , and
- if they had, he didn't know anything
more about the road than the passen
gers. I asked him .who he repotted to, '
and he said, !nobody.' I asked a con
ductor where:be got his orders from,
and he said he didn't take orders from
Any living in'ati or dead ghost. And
'when I asked the engineer 'who he got
hiForders from, he said he'd like to see
anybody giVe: orders; he'd run that
tiaiti to suitibimself, or he'd run it into
the ditch. Now see, sir, I'm a railroad
man, and I don't care to run on a road
that that has no time, makes no con
nections, runs nowhere and has no.
superintendent. It may be all right,
but I have railroaded-too long to under
stand it.'
`Maybe you went to the Congrega
tional church ?' I said.
'Popular road,' said the brakeman,
'an old toad too; one of the oldest in
this country. Good road bed and
plenty, of cars. Well managed road
too; directors don't interfere with di-
vision superintendents and train orders.
0 E L yre mighty popular, 'but it's pretty
; independent too. Yes, didn't one "of
the division suPerintendenti down East
dikontintie one of the oldest stations
orOhiii line two or three years ago. But
its . a Mighty nice road to travel on. Al
ways 11.4 s such a pleasant class of pas-
sengers.'
yori iry!the Methodist ? I said.
`Now you're shouting,' he said; with
same enthusiasm. 'Nice road, eh ?
Fast time and plenty of passengers:
! Engineers carry a power of steam, and
don't you forget it: steam gauge shows
a hundred and enough , all thertime.
Lively road; when the conductor shoats
'all aboard,' you can- hear him at the
next station. Every train light shines
'like a Aleadlight. Stop-over checks
given on all through ticket& passengers
can drop off the train as 4 i . often as lie
likes, do the station two dr three dais
and hop on the next revival train that
comes thundering along. Good, whole
sonled companionable cOnductors; ain't
a road in the country where the pas
sengers feelmore at home. ' No pas
ses; every passenger pays full traffic
ratea — for his ticket. Weacianhnuse
air brake on all trains, too; pretty 'safe
road, but I did'nt ride ! over it yester.
day.'
Perhaps you tried the Baptist ?' - I 1
guessed again.
'Ali, ha 1' said' the brakeman, 'she's a
iluisy, isn't She? Biter road; beautiful
curves; sweep around anything to keep
close to the river, but it's all steel rail
aud. rock ballast, single track all the,
way and not a side track from the round
house to the terminus. Takes - heaps of
water to run it though, double tanks at
every station, and there iNet an engine
in the shops that can pull a pound or

The Little Watches.
Yesterday an old man entered- , &Little
Back store, and taking from Irii - plsck!3t
an old buckskin pouch, he &flitted : lid
coins the counter, and theri, , after
regarding the silver for it few moments
said:
.Ifister, IVant to butsome goods to
make a dress. : -
'That money is mutilated, oldigen
deman. This tionty fivekient piece
has notches it, and this fifty
cent piece Iwo 13440.-Ininehed. You
see, they have been abused. I can't
take theM.'
'Abused,' - said the old man. 'Abused,'
and he toil up the fifty Cent piece and
looked at it tenderly. 'And yun won't
take it on account of its holes. Heaven
grant that I did not have to offer it to
you. Years ago, when my first child
was a little girl, I pimehed a hole in
this coin and strung it around her neck.
It was her constant plaything. At
night when she went to bed we'd take
it off, but early at morning she would
call for her watch. When our John—
you didn't know John, did yon ? No !
Well, he used to come to town a good
deal.'
'Where is he now ?' asked the mer-
chant, not knowing what to say, but
desiring to sh6w appreciation of the cld
man's story.
1 'He was klled in the 'war. I say that
when John was a little boy I strung this
quarter around his neck. One day his
watch got oat of fix, he said, and he
filed those notches in it. He and his
sister Mary—that was the girl'slimme—
u'aed to play in the yard; midi compare
theit watches to see if they were right.
Sometimes John would not like it be
cause Mary's watch was bigger Wei his,
bat she would explain that -she was big
ger than him, and ought to have a big
ger watch. The children grew up,; but
as they had always lived in the woods
they were not ashamed to wear their
watches. When a young man came to
see Mary once, she forgetfully looked
at her fifty cents. 'What are you do
ing!?' askci the yonng man, and when
she told him she Was ,looking I at her
watch, he took it as alint, and went
home.: After this she did not we ar her
watch in company. Well, Mary and
the young man married. John went
off in the army and was killed. Mary's
husband died, and about two years ago
Mary was taken i siek. When her mother
and I reached the house she Was dying.
Calling m' to her bed, she said, 'Papa,
lean over.' I did so, and taking some
thing from under her pillow she put it
around my neck and said. 'Papa, take
care of my watch,": The ol d man look
at the merchant .. The eyes'of both men
were moist.. 'Do; you see that boy out
Were on , the wagon ?' he said. 'Well,
that is Mary's child. I. wouldn't part
with this money, but my old wife,i who
always loved me, died this morning,
and I have come to buy her a shro l ,ud.'
When the old man went out' be carried
a brindle in one hand and the .(watches'
in the other.—Little !Rock Gazette. V
A STORY OF A WATCH. —T liirty•one
years ago a gentleman now occupying a
prominent place la Itlascinic circles in
thiscity, then,. residing -an interior
county of the 'state. sent !an order to
London for the mannfactore of a fine
gold watch. Daring.' the . -. .following
year the watch, costing $400,' was re
ceived, and was carried by its owner,
for the next nine or ten years. In 1861
a friend started for th;s city on a visit
bringing the watch with him, since
which time nothing has been seen or
heard of him, the supposition'. being
that he was murdered and plundered by
some of the hard characters that were
so prevalent here at that time. The
missing man bad abundant means and
left behind him La piece - of mining
property . worth $30,000 or $40,000.
The owner of the watch mourned the
loss of his friend and regretted the
missing timepiece and after some years
moved to this city, where in time , the
abave incidents became to memory as a
. ,
dream.- ; A few days ago he was con
versing with a friend in a jewelry store,
when a stranger stepped up along side
of him, laid a watch on the counter and
asked the proprietor to purchase it, and
to the astonishment of the whiloni
interior, resident, he recognized, at the
first glance the timepiece he bad lost
'twenty-one years previously.
Subsequent investigatinii revealed
that long about 1861-2 a gentleman of
this city tad purchased the watch of a
man, possibly one who bad murdered'
the visitor from the interior, for .$350,
and had carried it up to the day of his
deatt4 - whichk-; 'occurred in Tucson,
Arizona, ,ataint: a year and a half ago.
In the settlement of his estate tht. watch
was appraised at the low valuation of
$125, and the sister of the deceased,
knowing it tobe valnable,took it as a por
tion of her interest in the property.
The original owner gladly bought it of
the lady. —San Francisco Chronicle:

FARM' AND GARDEN NOTES
Blood andrrefuse meat rubbed upon
the trunks of trees will keep away mice
and rabbits.
It any new varieties of seed are tried
use only a small quantity at first. until
you are sure that the Soil and locality
are favorable.
Do not allow the cattle to tramp•over
the mowings when the ground is soft
enough ta retain the imprint of their
hoofs wherever they go. .
Apples contains very little tmtriment
Potatoes are highly nutritious, contain
ing fifteen to twenty-five per cent. of
starch. A bushel of potatoes is worth
five bushels of applmi for feeding.
' Salt and ashes are excellent fertilizers
for oats sad grass. They ., should be
sown when the oats are just up and . the
grass making its' S first start to grow.
Five bushels of salt and as many ashes
as can be procured may- be used per
acre. ' r
The white grub is the !arm of the
June bag,'which is very common about
houses in the spring. The best way to
prevent the grubs is to catch the beetles
at night in tubs half full of water with
a lantern placed on a stone in -the mid
dle of the tub.
Farm work for March: The hurface
water should be let off - the grain and
'other fields before the ground is entire
.ly thaw. All drains require frequent
inspection, especially at this time, when
the outlets may be clogged by ice and
snow.. Clover seed may be sown this
month. A very even cast can be ob
tained by sowing upon a light fall of
snow on a still day. . •

a small one on the other which made him very
lame; I had him under the charge of two veteri•

one day reading the advertisement of Kendall's
Spavin Cure in the Chicago Express, I detennia.
•ed at once to try it, and got our druggists here
to send for it, they ordered three bottles: I took
thernrill and thought I would give it a thorough
trial, I used it according to direction■ and the
lour o th day the colt ceased to be lame, and the
lumps have disappeared. I used but one bottle
and the colts limbs are as free from lumps and

I let two of my neighbors have the remaining
two bottles, who aro now using it. .
