A story is told of a' daughter of a

Ay gsntltma? was invited to the Icctn

being seated at the table the little girj

guests by, the nbrupt question :
?Where 'n jour wife V

Finding the child persisted in her
Jutcrrogatories dospito tho mild roproof
0f her parents, ho conoludotl to make a
olpan breast of tho matter and havo it
at, onco. So ho said, with a calmness
which was tho result of inward exple
tives. ' >\ oll, wo don't live together;
wo think, as wo can't agree, we'd bot

'Onn'tngreo! Then why don't you
fight it out as pa, and ma do ?'
'Vengeance is.miuo,' laughingly ro
torted the visitor, after pa and ma ox
, changed looks of holy horror, followed
by the inevitable roar.
Native Protests Agaist IjUilroads I
iu China.
Two very curious articles have been
published by a Shanghai native uews
paper, the Hwci-Fao, -protesting against
the construotiou of railways in the
Chinese empire. The HioeC-Pao is of
opinion that the exiatonce of railwa ys
I is Europe is too recent to admit of a
judgment being formed as to their prac
tical utility, and, moreover, that there
is not sufficient business in China to !
reuder them profitable. The Chinese
journal goes on to say that -'tea aud
silk arc the principe! objects of com
merce, and these have hitherto been
lorwarded to the treaty pofts by river
.steamboats. A substitution of railways
for steamboats would not effjotaay *iv
iug in point, ut time,' and could not,
thoiofbre, even from the point of view
taken by the foreigners themselves, be
of uny service to China. Admitting
that' a little time was gained, the
Chinese would not bebonoSto l, for tin
goods would u it be exported more rapid
' ly. Thus the railways would only lead
to an accumulation in the ports of vast
quantities of goods which, as they could
nut be shipped off all at once, would fall
considerably in price."
1 * The i/tcei-J'uu also says : ''The ueci
dei t.s i'U railway lines are very immer
h ous, caused by collision*, by the c igines
' or tenders taking lire, by the trains run
niiig off the lines, or by ill i bridges

numerous that it is often impossible to
ascertain tite exact uuuib'ir ufdead and
Wounded. All the foreign journals are
lull ol details concerning thn.-o ucci?
dentis. I>ut, ^'nutting that most of
these casualties tire p?evontablo, and
that the (ruins follow tho..- regular
course, they travel quicker than to
thoroughbred horse, und the people
walking on the lines would have no
time to get out of their way. From
this cause alona the number of fatal
accidents would be enormous. In all
countries whore railways oxi.-t they arc
considered a very dangerous mode ol
locomot ion, and, beyond those who have
very urgent business to transact, no
one tbiuka of using thein." This latter
statement cannyt as yet be accepted iu
its entirety; but, unfortunately, no have
every reason to know that, so ffcr as
England is concerned, traveling by rail
way is ?** very dangerous, mode of lo
comotion."
The statute ol Stonewall Jackson,
executed by the Into Mr. Folcy, the
well known English sculptor, for the
cityol Charleston, S. C, is now nearly
completed at the Manor foundry, at
Chelsea, near London. Tho general is
represented as stauding with a drawn
broad sword in his right hand. The
hand rests on tho swqrd hilt, and the
point of tho weapon is placed upon a
piece of rock at tho side Of tho figure
lie wears a horseman's short tunic , girt
by n broad belt, and buttoned close on
tho chest, and looso trowscrs, with rid
ing boots. The dofeot of tho work is
in the faco, which lacks vivneity, and
oven poctio euggestivonoss.
An Arkansas paper describes tho
neutral condition of a political aspirant
by saying that "ho roosts iu Washington
