Gentle Hrs. Ora/and Miss Harland, the invalid whose thin, scarlet cheeks lind bright'eyes told too plainly the presence of the de stroyer, the quiet rector and the somewhat pompous major, with his little blond wife, made up our party. "Some one tell a story, please," cooed the pretty blond, tossing aside "Hero Worehip." "Who ever knew ft live hero?" she laughingly asked. ?I ? promptly answered . Mrs. fi|low delightful ! Do tell ns about kim. Who was he?" ?The only true heroism that ever came under my immediate notice," said the little woman, "was display ed by a hero of ebon hue, a Btrong young Hercules/ who, though ?rough ?nd untaught, possessed a grand nature." "Yes," assented the sentimental major, "often among the humblest flowers we find the rarest odors." "And," resumed Mrs. Gray, "among the busy workers, with hardened hands and toil stained faces, we find great hearts. During the late war," she continued, "my father and brother were in > the army, and, the overseer being draft ed into service, my mother, my sis ter and myself were compelled to leave our beautiful home in the city . and go up the river to the planta tion to manage as best we could the affairs of that place. . "Our people were trustworthy ?ind kind, so we had but little trou ble. A few weeks after our arrival .at the plantation our hearts were saddened by the death of a much loved servant. Rachel r?as her came. She had nursed my mother's older children, and we were all very much attached to. her. Rachel died suddenly of heart trouble, the phy sician said, and her little children were cared for by a good old granny. Albert, the husband of Rachel, was a field hand and a reliable man." "Of what time do you speak?" "This was in the spring of 1864. The transmississippi department was under the command o ! the Con federate General E. Kirby Smith. The struggle east of the Mississippi river had drawn from ns the chiv alry of the great southwest. The sous of Arkansas, Mississippi, Loui siana and Texas were scattered from Gettysburg to Vicksburg, and a di minished force composed of the fa thers and husbands was left to meet the gathering foe that threatened, with General Steele at Little Bock and General Banks at Alexandria, La. The conscript burean had gleaned the fields of the last of the 'bearded groin,' and nothing was left but 'the flowers that grew be tween'--the boys too young iv* go. "Then a new order came, and the men slaves were impressed and sent to the Bhopii as. laborers and team sters in the various departments to fill such places ss they could in or der that xor every Slave BO employed a soldier could be relieved and go to the front Tho burden of feeding and clothing tho army devolved apon the women of tho south* Cheerfully and with untold sacri fices did they do their part.

Jumping Schoo! for Engineers, A new departure for this vicinity, whieh will materially aid in the saving of human, -lives, is .now under way in the ranks of the enginaorG and Are men, who take their life in hand in the^caba of locomotives. The ide?is an Eastern one and has met with* sue* oess in that part of the country, re sulting in many an engineer and fire man saving his life in a collision through knowing how to leave a swift ly moving train without injury to him self. The frequency of wrecks ia. this vioinity in the last few months has acted as an impetus in tho matter for the men on the locomotive, as in al most every wreck either the engineer or the fireman lost his life or was se riously injured and disabled through scant knowledge of jumping to thc ground at the right time. The plan is to secure quarters in ont of the round house where a moving platform on the order of a merry-go round can he erected. The apparatui now in use in the East is on the ordei of a large baker's ?hovel. It is abou four feet square and an iron suppor runs from two sides to the centre of i cirolo, where an iron column, shape? like a capstan on a steamboat, acts s a pivot. This i-on column, driven b steam power, can attain a great rate c speed and the platform revolves swift ly. The novioe takes his stand on tb platform and is carried around unt he thinks the platform has attainc the fast paoe of an engine and mak< the leap. : A mat encircles the app; ratus and on this he alights withoi danger to his limbs. The exercise not as easy as it seems, and mai thumps are reoeived before one lean the eorreot way to jump. Almost any speed can be attaine ? and it is oonstant practice on an a paratus of this kind that has great reduced the death rate among Easto engineers and firemen. Aninstruot will be brought here and the quart? will oontain other gymnasium arraof monto, such as flying rings, horizon and parallel bars, lifting maohincB a other apparatus for the developmc of the body. The site for this jun ing sohool and gymnasium has not yet been seleoted, but the Big Fe round boose in St. Bernard is at pr ent favored and an effort will be mi to establish the sohools here. The railroaders living in this vioi ty are much enthused over the pro sition, and will raise the neoess funds themselves if the railtoad \ provide a location for the apparat A subscription list will be oirsula among local mon to see if enough i can be secured to make the ech< feasible. The gymnasium feat would attract many, as such a tl has been for a long time considere* this vioinity. The nervous strait the engineers who have long ruo very groat, and many doctora have re commended the establishment of a gymnasium to build op tho meo and make them stronger and better able to take care of the cargo of human lives whoso safety depends on the grip of the luioititv-Oinoinnati Commercial Tribune. Three Eels and a Girl There lives a family oo Delaware place with a palate tor eels. Aa often as twioe a week the head of the fam ily carries home from the fish market two or three of the slippery, snake like wrigglers. He usually returns home late at night, and it is his cus tom to put the eels in a bucket of water, where they are kept until morn ing. In the front rooms of the apartment where lives this family are two young women from Indiana, who, during their sojourn in the oity, aro boarding with the fcunly of eels eatc.d. Eaoh of the young women has eaten of the cooked food, but neither of them ever saw an eel. One night last week the mah cf the house took home three eels. After stumbling abont the darkened house in a futile searoh for a buoket, he hit upon another plan. He tiptoed to the bathroom and turned the cola loose in the bathtub. As soon aa the house was quiet the younger of the two sisters, dressed for her dreams, stole out of her room with a heavy crash towel thrown aorosB her 1 arm, and prooeeded to the bathroom. The room was dark and she could find no matches. Not oaring to searoh for a matoh she decided to bathe in the dark, and accordingly turned on the bot and cold water. When the tub was well filled the young woman stopped in. The hot water had put life into the slippery eels, and when the young woman got both feet into the tub the creatures slipped about her ankles and across her feet. That was all she remembered. With one hysterical scream she began kick ing furiously and crying for help. Her elder sister, fearing she was being murdered, ran to the bathroom, but found the door looked. After a couple of moments had elapsed, the girl im prisoned in the bathroom foll out of the tub and managed to unlook the door. Not hearing the anxious ques tions her frightened sister was orying at her, she fairly flew down the hall way, clad only in the darkness. The whole family' was aroused by the soreams, a d lights flared up in every apartment in the big building. The women of the house and the elder sister, after fifteen minutes work, suc ceeded io calming the frightened bath er. "What in the world is the matter, sister?" asked the elder one. "Oh, horrors!" shuddered the bys torical girl, "the bathtub ia full of snakesr By this time the head of the family, ol&d in pjamas, was tottering up and down the hallway ehokiog in a spasm of laughter. He stamped his feet, hit his head against th? wall, and at last controlled himself sufficiently to light the gas in the bathroom and called his wife to take a look at th? room. The floor was flooded with water and two of the eels were wriggling upon the floor.-Chicago Inter*Ocean. Locomotives Easy to Kill. The Union Paoifio Railroad com pany has just discovered that it is being made the victim of union men masquerading in the guise of strike breakers. They 6eoure employment as machinists in the railroad shops affected by the strike and take advan tage of the opportunities thus L Corded to disable the company's engines. "To the man who knows his busi ! noss," said an engineer, "it is not I difficult to turn the 'trick. Notwith standing the faot that an engine is a powerful looking monster, there are many placea about it where the re* moval of a little burr of the size ol the end of your finger will put it out of order, and an expert will be pussled for hours to discover the resson. "Half a bar of soap will kill a loco motive. A paokage of washing oom pound will do it just as effectively Either one dropped in the water tani will be sufficient to turn the wate into suds, and you oouldn't got u? steam to save your life. '"Another easy bit of mischief tbs is being praotioed in this strike is t sidle up to a locomotive when Bhe i at the station and plaoe a bolt on th under piston guide. The first revolt tion crushes it against the oylindei between it and the knuokle of the pii ton. The trouble is, however, th; it wont crush, but tears out the who side. uThere is a small valve used to pe mit the escape of air when the brak are released. It is no difficult jo especially at night, to put a litt plug in this valve. The air is n strong enough to ejeot it, and as a i suit the set wheels slide along un they are flat-footed. "A pinoh or two of emery on t journal of a driving wheel will put out of commission in half stroke. "Tho dangerous pian of mixing e fdosives wita the coal is seldom ft owed. It knocks the engine out working order, but the explosion likely to injure the engineer or fii man, and with them usually the n ohinists or boiler makers have quarrel.
