A locomotive engineer and a civ il engineer are two very different persons. for one has charge of a locomotive engine, and the other has charge of, and-controls.1t varie ty of instruments. First is the tran sit, then the level, the levelling-rod the flag, chains, axes and stakes, all in charge of competect men. An engineering party, to do good work quickly. should consist of at least ten persons. The chief of the party usually goes ahead and picks out the route the others are to follow, and often takes a flag-pole along with him Sticking this into the ground, lie waves his hand for the others to "come ahead," and the transitman sets his instrument in that direction and causes the vertical cross hair in the telescope to cut the pole, opti cally, in two. But I am afraid some readers may not know what cross-hairs are. Most of you know the principle of s telesco'pe; an object-glass collects a large number of rays of light and ~oncentrates them, and a lens, or a series of lenses, magnifies them. hat is the simple principle, andl inl a transit, or level, just where the >bject-glass forms the imnage antd ~ye-piec'e magnifies it, there are two obwebs, so fine that the unaided ~ye can hardly see them, stretched cross a round brass ring, at right mgles withu each other, one per feetly vertical and one horizontal. hie point where they cross each ther is the exact center of the lens. These are the cross-hairs, and hey are on the optical axis of the nstrument. With their aid a ~traighit line can be prolonged any listance, or in a level, the dif ference n elevation, between two points anl be dietermined1 to the thousandth >art of a foot, p)rovided( the opera or and instrumei ze in good order ud if the rodzman, who holds a ointed poie graduated to one one housandth of a foot. understands is business. To explain the working of an en ~inering party would be tedious ad uninteresting to many, and as hat has nothing to (10 with my tory, I will not do so. Instead of that, imagine me and ny rodman running a line of levels rom a stream of water to a new ailroad, to see whether there was levation enough to force it into te tank, and the rest of tile '-par y" miles away. busy at something 'hat was the very thing I was do ing one day on the Northern Paci fic Railroad (it was not that rail. road, but it is a handy one to use n this occasion). The stream of water was two iles away from thle new track, and that morning we had ridden from ur boarding place, ten miles east.on : little hand-car. The grade there was a descending one. westwardl, for a long distance, and all we had to do, wheii going in that direction was to sit still and 1ly along over the new rails. About five miles further west a large gang of men were working. laying track; and the smoke of the ngine on the '-constuction train" was plainly visible across the uin :ulating prairies. George and I, therefore. did not feel lost or alone, and we worked aard all the morning and ate our unch in the cool shade of the tank ouse, just finished. As we had othing more to do that day, I deC termind to put the truck on thle track, after we were done eating,. rie Anwil tn the track.layerk, and' retur-~with thei on the flat car that eve'in. But I was hung-ry and ate a great deal, and thei,began to feel strange. ly drowsy;-ne last thing I remem ber before I fell asleep, was George standing by the level in the hot sun and looking through it at the hills east of us. I cannot say how long I dozed. for I was startled so suddenly as to "jog" my memory to an alarming extent. "Indians !' I hear so nie one cry; and I began to rub my eyes sleepi ly. But I did not rub tbein long, for I saw George throwig the truek on the track, in a state of the great ex citement. I was at his side in an instant, and a quick glance around showed me the true state of things. Eastward, about a mile distant. were five mounted Indians, riding to wards us at full speed. As the camp had several times been raid ed during the men's absence. I had no doubt that they were hostile. I was not excited as George was, however, for I put my level and levelling-;od and two spruce ties on the car before I shoved off. The rails were new snd rough, and the hand-car was not worn much yet, but as I jonped on. I felt it gaining speed down the straight track, and I arranged the two ties in the form of a barricade. Then I looked back. The five Indians evidently meant bussiness, for they were coming as fast as they could toward us, and were gaining upon us; and when I heard George moaning as lie crouch ed behind the ties, I did not feel very cheerful or hopeful. I reached for my revolver in my hip-pocket, and examined its charges as coolly as I could. There were seven large sized cartridges in it, and the zip of a bullet by my ears at that mo nent showed me that I might have to use them. I also crouched be hind the ties after this warn&g, i_ looking- rauiTously over the top at our pursures. They gained nearly half the (is tance during the first five minutes, but the increasing quickness of the click of the wheels at the joints of the rails gave imc a little hope as I watched them. As to George. he was so terrified as to be unconscious; but a long life of engineering upon the plains had hardened mc a little; neither was this my first adventure. The sun poured down on us, and but for our motion, it would have prostrated us; the wind was blowing the same way that we were going, but we were noving faster than it, and this gave us a faint breath of air. I took o:' my light coat and formed a sha-e over George. who was helpless, and looked ahead. Far away. thrcugl the moving waves of heat, I could see the smoke rising lazily from the engine, and the two rails stretchinr in a long perspective, untill they were lost where the grass seemed (iyed brown; but the s: ady click a click click of the wh< 's reminded me that it was a long way off, and I fastened my eves on the Indians. They were spreading out. One of them, on my right, had left the main body behind, and was circling around to get a head of us. Then I thought how lucky it was there were no curv(s to give themi an ad vantage. When I ha 1 first sighted them they were making a great many ex travagadt mot ions; b)ut now they were readly for action, and I could see the foam on the dark beasts of their ponies as they leaned well for ward. But in prop)ortion as their steeds tired, caur steed gathered new' energies, and the two thousand feet that sep)arated us did not ap pear to lessen very rapidly. Wheth er they wanted to adorn their belts with our scalps, or wanted to hold us for a ransom, was another ques tion, for they had fired but once, and doubtless as a "long tom," fired on a ship, retards. in a slight degre its motions so their rifles, fired at us. would check them. They did not fire, anywhere. but their reasons for doing so can only be guessed at. So far I could judge, only one of them was gaining oni us, adI graspedi the handle of mys revolver as I saw that lhe was lessening the distance between us. He was cov ered behind his horse, excepting his right leg and foot, but I did not see fit to waste a shot yet; there was no knowing what might happen I thought. Besides, my revolver would not carry accurately that dis tance, and every ball might he re 0 uiredl. I ventured to look ahead a mo ment. and saw that the smoke was nearer and that the outlines of the engine and a few cars were distinct against the blue sky beyond; and then another thought flashed across my mind. We were going downi a gade of thirty-five feet to tihe mile, hardly fall enough. I reasoned, to move the stiff truck along ov-er the scaly surface of t he rails. I could even see the change of grade. nearly a mile ahead, and I hoped (and <~mly- a mind in danger knows how to hope&; that the sun would beat down moure unmercifully and noencme those tough po. nies. I was helpless; the truck was runing as fast as the laws of gravi tation and friction would let it, and I did not doubt but that the Indians were urging their ponies to the utmost. Any word or action, of mine, however, would not in crease our speed, and as near as I could judge, we were going at the rate of fifteen miles an hour. This may seem extravagant, but I think it is not so. I am sure the truck did its best. Perhaps the In diais saw that they were not gain ing much, for I heard another bul let whiz over our barricade, and cautiously lowered my head. The report was lost to my ears, full of the click. a-click-click. Then I determind to shoot. The nearest pony was but little over a thousand feet away. and the change of grade was not much more than that ahead. I took a careful aim, holding the sights so they centered two feet above the pony's head, and fired I heard them yell at this aggres sion, but the bullet, instead of hit ting the forward pony, carried strong, I think, over its head, and struck one of the rear riders. One of them -fell back' anyway, and I deliberately cocked the revolver aga2n. This time I did not aim so high. I could feel my heart beating rapid ly when I thought how much might depend on my accuracy. The ten foot grade was not far away, I knew, and I fired. I heard a sav age yell, but my shot did not take effect except as it roused their an ger, and I heard several bullets slug, slug, into the spruce ties. The truck still keeps up its speed, and a hasty look over my shoulder -I was lying flat, behind the ties enabled me to judge how far away from safety we were. We had cov ered about half thedlist-[eL,e i I distinctIy saw~tlie end of the thirty 'O-t grade. The Indians evidently saw that we were nearing the construction train too, for they lashed their ponies furiously. I determined upon another shot. The nearest Indian had gained a little in the last few minutes. I aimed at the pony's foretop and fired. That shot determined the day. I saw the pony stumble a few steps, and fall, throwing his rider over his head. The remaining three, with a savage yell, fired a parting volley, and drew rein. And just at that moment the truck struck the ten foot gade. I felt its pace slacken instantly, but, luckily, the Indians did not know one gade from another, and in a few minutes more they were a mile away, co' :oling their brother who would , to walk to their camp. Seeing that I was safe, I took a look at George. He was not total ly unconscious, but looked at me with an expression of terror. It took me some time to assure him of his safty, but I finally did, and we joined the track-layers with thankful hearts. The engineer, when he heard my story, uncoupled the engine from the train and gave chase; the Indians were too wise, however, to follow the track, and we saw them disappearing far to the south.- Youth's Companion. 5xttUatotn1.. TIHIETOMIB OF NA POLEON. "Standing on the summit of Di ana's Peak the Island of St. Hele na looks like a great mat spread out upon the ocean, with an orchre and umber border and a little green patch in the center." The speaker was Mr. J. A. McKnight, the Unit ed States Consul to St. Helena, who is now in Washington on leave of absence. "Is the land fertile?' inquired the "Post." "In some places it is, but even these are not cultivated. The peo plo are indolent, and can live on fish and rice all the year. The whites on the island are English and the rest of the population, in cluding Malays, Chinese, negroes and East Indian coolies. The is land is plainly of volcanic origin, and every indication goes to show that one half of the extinct volcano is sunk on the ocean.'' "Of course. Napoleon's tomb is the main feature of the island?" "Yes, but it has comparatively few visitors. The~ English Steam ers only stop at the island about two hours. and the tomb is two hours' ridle distant, so that pasengers who might wish to see the tomb canno leave the vessel. Two or three times a year there is a sort of pil grimage to the tomb. This is when the French transports, return ing from New Caledonia to France, stop at the island. They are old style ships known as three deckers, and carrying from 800 to 1,003 peo ple. Their passengers include prisoner's of war, returned convicts, officers, etc., but all go to Napol eon's tomb. The latter is kept in splendid condition by a Lieutenant stationed there." "lg not the tomb ptettily uitnat' ed?" "Not at all, Longwood, where Napoleon spent his captivity, and and where his remains now lie, is nothing but a desolate plain 1,800 feet above the sea level and expos. ed to the winds vhich constantly sweep over it. It is always envel oped in mist, fog, cloud or rain. The Briars is a prettier and rather picturesque place in another part of the island, where Napoleon wished to stay but this was refused," "Is the flag of the United States ever seen in this part of the world?" "Oh, yes, more so than you would im.gine. There are about twenty of our vessels plying regularly be tween this country and the East Indies, which stop at St. Helena. Then there are twenty-five or thirty American whalers which put in here for supplies. Last year I had 600 seaman to deal with. The consu lar fees collected were sufficient to pay my salary." A BOTTLE 248 YEARS OLD. Washington Mo., Observer. Mr. L. Green, of Newport, called l at this office last Saturday morning I and exhibited to us a four ounce bottle, the existence of which is clearly traced back 248 years. It i can not properly be called a square or round bottle, as the corners and edges hardly approach either. Ev idently the process of blowing glass at the time it was made was in its incipiency. The bottom was doubt less intended to be flat, but the corners and edges are not squarely and smoothly turned, and in the centre of the bottle a daub of mol ten glass seems to have been cut on to stop up the hole that was left by reason of the edges failit h.t m - a d l 4 together and lo0o-4ft 'e bottom. The shoiiiers at the top of the bot tie, too, looked as if they were in tended to be blown square, but in stead of this they awkwardly dou bled in toward the center. The neck of the bottle is short and straight, without the usual rim at the top, and at the bottom of the neck it spreads out and is apparent ly molded ino the hole left at the top of the bottle where the glass laps over from the shoulders. Up and down the body of the bottle in a sort of twisting shape are large but pretty uniform ridges which ap pear to be on the outside, but upon feeling the bottle they are discov ered to be but slightly indented on the outside or running through the interior of the body of the glass. This bottle was brought from Germany in 1636 by John Baker (the German name would probably t be spelled Becker), who settled in Phildelphia. When he died the bottle fell into the hands of his son Fred Baker. then into the hands of Fred's son, Karl, and then into the hands of Karl's daughter, Rachel.I who married Win. Ramey and set tied in St. Louis county in 1880. Win. Ramey was an uncle of Mr. L. Green who secured the bottle, from his uncle's wife. Mr. Green has lived in this country for twenty five years, and still holds out to certify to what we have here written and shows us the "documents." A BOUJT TIGIT PANTS. Carl Pretzel's Weekly. We have a large stock of advice for young men constantly on tap, and we now warn them against wearing tight pants. Tight pants of course, are properly managed but the least carelessness in hand ling them is apt to bring ruin and desolation where joy and peace should reign. They arne apt to create and breach between the best of friends, particularly if the coat is not long enough to cover the breach. And that reminds us of Dobyn. He had a habit (it cost him $50) of wearing a short pair of pants so tight he could scarcely breathe. Last Sunday he went out to see his besL girl and took a stroll. After walking about for some time they found a shady spot and concluded to take a iest. It was all that Dobyn could do to sit down, but he finally settled down on the grass, and as ho did so a sound smote upon his ear tbat made him turn pale and tremble with fear. He looked cick and his eyes had a far away stare in them that told of a soul's misery. He won dered if the fair creature at his ide had heard the noise, and cast a sidelong glance at her. She evi dently had, for her face was flush ed and such a look of reproach was in her eyes that he shuddered and wanted to say it wasn't him, but he knew she wouldn't believe it, and just then he sneezed with a jerk that nearly took his head off and that terrible noise was repeated. The girl got up and started toward home, and poor Dobyn sat there the picture of untold agony, until she was out of sight. Then he got, up and examined the extent of the catastrophe. The breach must have been very serious, as he did not reach home until after dark. The world owes us ali a living, but like many people in it, it is very slow pay. A FATIIER'S ADVICE. Chicago Herald.

There is a most excellent lady in Chicago who has fifty three dogs not counting two temporarily ab. sent on a scduting expedition. This lady is well known is society circles isa woman of mean elegrant ~hm he has a great love N or dogs, and, begining her collec tion some years ago with two St. Bernards, she has in one way and another increased it until there are nowlfty-three dogs, big and little. in her~ establishment. They are not allowed to eat meat, but are treated frequently to oyster soup, poached eggs, batter cakes, oatmeal, etc. Their meals are prepared with as much care as to cleanliness and form as though they were human beings, and the food is served as nicely as for invited guests. Ten gallons of milk and twenty pounds of oatmeal are fed to the dogs daily, to say nothing of the great quantities of oysters and eggs. When the dogs are sick they re ceive the most considerate attention and at no time are they subjected to scolding or punishement of any kind. The result of this experi ment has been watched by many with the greatest interest and there are some developments that would have made Darwin dance with joy. There is one fiine old St. Bernard, the aristocrat of the colony, who -will not touch his oyster soup un less it is just so, and who will not eat out of anything of a lower grade tthan cut glass. He will go thirsty for a whole day rather than take a drink from a bucket or pan, but Swill go into a transport of tail wag ging ecstasy over water or milk Sin a china or cut glass dish. 1 THE ONLY EXCEPNION-At a lit j tIe dinner at Delmonico's, New r York, the other night there was present a gentleman who goes a little in society, but whose charac -and gifts make him in every way a a desirable acquaintance. A charming e lady who was present repoached him -for absenting himself from her en s tertainme;nts. "We all want to see you," she de clared; "you really ought to let us I lionize you a little." e "My dear madame," replied the t gentleman, "I never heard of but r one man who was not completely y spoiled by being lionized." s "Who was that 7" asked the !ady. t "The prophet Daniel," responded n the gentleman. e s A correspondent wants to know 'e why some women o,re called Ama zons.
