Tim old limn walked into the house and returned in a few minutes with a Jrellow-covcred book Containing about Iftv pages, entitled "The Christ tali Way: A History of the Rise and l'rugiesa of the Mormon Church, by Julius Lane." "Thot ore book," said bile, resuming his .story, "is what did it. Thowimmm folks got a hold 011 it an' read it over an' over, an' they'd got togetlu r an' tall, about atweon themselves. Old Lane didn't stop thet time, but ho oun.o back in about a week an' writ out notices thet lie was agoin' to stay an' preach on Sun day. Thet was'long about tno middle of tho week, I think, an' ho spent the rest of tho week goin' around nai'iin' these notices up 011 trees.

There they was though, in black and wh.lo, an' I couldn't go back 011 the Jliblc. It was tho most devilishest hole I ovi r got ii.to. I talked with some of the neighbor; about it, and at last wo decided to la id a mootin'unbeknownst to Lane t<> talk it over and see what to do about it. We didn't just like tho idea of goin' back on our Methodist brethren down to Saudis ton, but wo was agoin' to bo light, breth ren or 110 brethren.

Well, sir, maybo you won't believe it, but suthin' said to me, 'Silo, you'd bc? t leave that galoot alone.' I heard it jiM as plain as day. It come so suddint, by gosh, that I made up my mind on the H)H>t to stick to the Methodists. It didn't Boom to strike the others that way, though, for every mother's soil of Ha ni voted to have tho old sinuor Mm and proaoh.

U'y an' by, I guess 'twas after ho hod been hero 'bout six months, he got up in nioetin' ono Sunday, an' said: 'Itrctlm 11, wo been hero some time now alaboiin' together, an' the church of (lod hns growod up to be a big one.

A writer in the New York bun savs that the I'rc?i dent's habits have not yielded to the change in his domestic affairs. There is .one uiore servant, a Gorman girl. hom Mrs. Iloyt brought from i'aycttc\ilh with her, who will remain as Mrs. (. le\e land s maid. I'nt the pn-M nee of a mi tress at the Kxecntive Mansion wow!' not I>e perceived by the easit.il ??. A close inspection of the private portion of the house, howi\vr, shows that ;. woman s dainty hand and r< lined t.i.-te ha\e passed over it, and the ro nn> look less like a elnh house and more like r. home. Mrs. Cleveland hi: 1 her friend have heen overhauling the Hntique furni ture, pulling one piece out of this room and pushing another into that, and at the wist end of the private corridor tliev have titled up a little Mulctary. whei". they sit soiiU'times and ? \cl.ange ini lidences. A piano has been taken up into one of the south chambers and that part of the house, which hassoloii^ been gloomy and foibidiling, has now Income m.isieal and merry under the touch of tin ir lingers. \ isitors w !k> are show n into the President's library nowadays hear unaccustomed sounds, a snatch e?f song disclosed bv an open door, or an echo of laughter, or a few notes of a piano gavlv plavM. When the President hears these sounds lie often looks surprised and manv a time leaves a pile of ollicial papers on his desk, looks into the adjoining room to see what the girls, as he rails them, are up to and then returns to his work a happier and more contented man. A Cabinet meeting was interrupted the other day and grave matters of statecraft were laid aside by a little confusion in which two girlis|i voices were apparent, but the interruption passed suddenly nwav and diverte t attention was restored to tlie consideration of the fisheries oues tion. Ureal;fast was formerly served at the White House at eight o'clock and the President was often at his desk an hour or so before. Now the breakfast hour is nine o clock, and only once or twice since his marriage has Mr. Cleveland at tended to any official duties before going down stairs. He usually passes into the library on his way to the dining room to take what telegrams or letters are lying upon his desk and runs through them while waiting for breakfast to be served, lie gets into the ollieial harness about an hour later than he used to do, and it is generally ten 0 clock nowadays before he begins work, when nine was the hour formerly. He pulls steadily along until half-past one, when, on every alternate day, he receives the public and then goes to luncheon, and afterward chats with the ladies for a few minutes as he smokes a cigar. During the morning hours Mrs. Clove land sees nothing of her husband, but spends her time in reading, sewing, ar ranging things about the house, wander I ;uin th^ con-u rvr.fory and gossiping j mi.1i Hi" .. ? ?iu 1 fi>- ?iit t!:. ?.?

'Mr. Cleveland will beat everybody in'MS," said Representative Miller, of Texas, to i\ Star reporter the other day. "Public opinion is in his favor mid no ono can bent him.

Machine politicians can't sue ceed in a fight against well defined pub lic sentiment. With Mr. Carlisle second on the ticket they would get. the largest majority ever given to any tickej." There is considerable talk of this sort among Democrats in the House.

A big merchant savs that tnulo in- much bettor this nvmth than it has been for a long time. An interesting iucidont of this increase of traffic was related by a gentleman of large affairs. "Muoh of our trade,*' said lie, "at this tiruo of year comes from the South. You woidd bo surprised at the number of Southern merchants who coino North on a combination tour of pleasure and busi ness about this time. Most of them are slirowd buyers aud Vo leaving good orders. Therefore at this season of the year, when wo generally expect to be dull, we are having a good, brisk trade. 1 can account for it upon no other theory than this is tlie time of year when South ern mou llnd it most convenient and profitable to come North to purchaso goods. This revival 01' Southern $rado shows the prosperity of that region. Within the past two years it seems .to have picked up wonderfully and th^re is a substance and fidelity about thls^trade that makes it profitable. 'Jfihp ruC|fcs of goods that go South has '&fip 'changed wonderfully. They arc buying more substantial goods than formerly, but at the same time of richer materials. Form erly the Southern trade demanded costly fabrics of a showv character?red, yj-.mgo ana figured gOous predominating. Now they affc taking my re duraljle materials of substantial colors.

"Yos," said an old engineer yesterday, talking to au interested group of listen ers, "I havo had some novel experiences, and some narrow cscapca, too, since I began to pull the throttle of an engine.

"Thai win nearer n serious accident than any Tvp ever beeh in," continued the narrator, 'ibut Hiat jiiu't what 1 wa? going to tell you about." . After (lie lis teners had bxpressed their desire to hear his story, he refilled his pipe, anil after deliberating a few minutes, said: "It was on tho Baltimore and Ohio, about forty miles out of Toledo, Ohio, that the accident, or to bo more correct as to tho naturo of it, I >vill say, inci dent, occurred, for I can't say that it was an accident at all. It was the most novel, funny, and at the same time most dangerous experience that 1 ever wit nessed. The plivce I, speak of was called ?lot me see?it was called the "Maiden's Creek," and was a very beautiful place to the tourist and pleasure seeker, but a very formidable place to the engineer who had as many as forty cars to pull. Tho "Maiden's Creek" was spanned by a trestle about one hundred yards * in length, and it was approached from tho ?north by a grade of one hundred and ten foot, about two and a half miles in leugth, and one of about tho muuo length, and stoop in proportion, to ascend on leaving tho creek. To an en* ginee? with a moderately loaded train following him, it was nocessary that he got a good start on his descent, in order to be able to clear tho grade on the oth er side. We had orders from headquar ters not to approach any trestle- in gen eral, find this one in particular, at a greater speed than twenty miles au hour. yfiAl, now, it would havo bo^n utterly '.impossible to go over that hill with an 'impetus of twenty miles per hour "from tho other side. As wo wore approacing Jhis place, 6ho night, my firemen said to ?ine, *'Georgo, you'll havo to give 'or jrteam, or we'll camp over yonder on that liillr as sure as preachin.' 'I know that,' said I, 'and I'm going to lot her roll.', And I did lot her roll, as sure as you're bprn. Wo went devyn that grade at the' rate of forty' miles an hour, or wo didn't go a foot. Wo just fairly Slid down. I hardly know whon tho trestle was roach cd, wo went over bo quickly. The fl;st thu g I remember \vas, we wevo about Stair way up the'grade, on the otiiei .,idt goirg about titty mile*, an ra/u\ tiur. vht we worifcjimbiru' Inrfeh' V -? .a- 'i _ j out x iuul a Lmuubnowi\vI*Tv< . nl i .t111"ib?i!?..i ii to that. finally t * matte lue top ui the giai.ii, itini started down another. Something told ine that something was wrong, but 1 couldn't see anything. I was letting her roll down the.grade at about fifteen or twenty an hour, and as that'something' kept tell in# mu that something was the mutter, I seat my tiivman hack over the ears t?> see if anything was the matter, Mir ? i nougli. When lie crossed twelve bo\e.< he came to a halt. Wei had I teen dis connected. iiy this time we were at a standstill. This was a predicament! About half way to the bottom of a stt ep grade, in the dark, disconnected, n<>i knowing whether the other part of the train was coming down on us, or wlu-th- j er it had failed to come over and had | gone back the other way! We hadn I | long to wait, however, for all at once we I heard a terrible rattling, and then I | know that was the detached part of the train that had managed to get over the ! grade, and was coming down <>n u>! I What must I do? It would not do t? < | stand still ami let the wild train in it> mad rush run over my engine, whieh | would have meant certain destruction! j In the meantime, my trusty fireman had gotten oil'and was going back to discov er if he could sec or hear anything. So it was he who yelled to me: 'Fly! ( hit run it! It is a box car!' 1 caught his meaning, and took in the situation in a second, and in another one was going down at a fearful rush, pursued by thai empty box car. While, going down I thought of a plan by which I could slop the ear without serious damage. I would run just a little slower than it, and by that means let it overtake me. This plan worked admirably. The car caught up \sith me just before I reached the foot of the grade, and the connection was slight that it was scarcely perceptible. Alter checking up, and coming to a standstill, I found that I was still in a li\. Where was the remainder of the train? For it was plain thai we were in three sections instead of two. After waiting there about ten minutes I saw tlie balance of ll^e train coming slowU down the grade with two or three of tin crew holding their lights, not 'knowing what minute they would run into thn box ear, or iny engine. They came on down, however, and we coupled up agaie and finished our trip without any more accidents. "Hut I have always thought, ' eon tinned the old engineer, "that was the most novel, as well as the most dan;'." r oiis way of getting over a grade tli.it I e\er heard of. I could not do it again in a thousand years without smashing up property, and probably sacrifice life. ('<mid I, boys?"
