Hug I I J875 Jy An Exciting Race. The San Francisco Qhnmirle tells the billowing story of nil engineer : It was lour years ago last winter. I was Coining down with a train ioaded with cattle. The. weather had been bad for weeks, and the show lay deep, but was melting oil'fast in the warm weather that had lasted nearly a week. The grout.d was satt-rated, and I noticed that th'uigs looked shaky on the mountain. 1 was feel ing my v*ny along carefully, thinking the track might spring, as the bed was wet und sloppy, when just as 1 got around the point of this ridge, I looked up, and it seemed to me that the whole mountain above me had broken loose. For hundreds of feet wide the hillside was in motion, und charging down on me. The slide started a hundred yards above the track and was coming right down on me like lightning. Rocks, trees and snow-drifts plunged down the face of the mountain with a thuudering roar, and seemed bent on overwhelming us and bu tying its in the canyon thous ands ol feet below. I was never so elo c to death before, although I have had my share of perils on the road. For a moment I was .stupefied, the danger was so great and escape so hopeless, but only lor a moment. I determined not to die without an cflbrt, btit clapped on all steam, while the brakes were thrown off at tlic same time. You can see for you:self that the grade is heavy here, and etui be'ieve that we made fast time. 1 he engine seemed to know her danger, and to gather herself for an ellbrt. She leaped, quivering and snorting, down the grade in the maddest race I ever saw. Down came the avalanche like lightning directly upon us, throw ing up clouds of flying snow and splinters and rock, and away flew the old engine like- a thing of life and beauty, as she was, dragging the cars like the Wind ?low? the grade aftei her, abreast. Vif the slide. Rut it seemed doomed to be all in vain. The avalanche eiiihc luster every moment. It was almost upon us. The rweks begun to bound against the ears and over the'ni, ami the train was hidden in a cloud (if snow. Rut we Were living thr..ugh th mir now; the wheels seemed never to touch the rail, and just as I was giving up hope the engine rushed pu-t that point ol land just hack there the little ravine comes down. This turned the current of theslide, so to speak, a little, and was nur .-nlvnliou. The engine rushed past the point jjist us the slide reached the track, niiil a big pine, uprooted in I lie edge ol the avulauem-, fell across the next, car to (he lust one and crushed it. The track was swept away like a cobweb in a gale, and the couplings of the cars broke and the ears fell into the chasm, left, in the wake id' (he slide, and were carried down to the river? a thousand yards below. What there is left of them lies there yet. The jerk made the engine nod train jump the track, but she kept on her feet, and we got oil with a few bruise*. That I account one of the greatest, dangers 1 ever had in my twenty years of railroading. mi . -? What a School Girl's Pocket will Hold. The Omaha Ihrtihl says: We found one lying on the sidewalk and took an inventory for the purpose ol enabling the proprietor to obtain the pocket: Two while cotton hanker chiefs, the hems of which arc bigger than the balance; a candy fish, of many colors; one sit irt slate pencil, black, chewed at the end. too hard at the other; one slate pencil, nude color, chewed at both ends, and very short and slabsided; :?ne bit of sky-blue rib bon; two bits in currency; one piece of short, black, scolloped ribbon; or gartir, without buckle, very elastic, but not long; two short pieces of bar ber polo candy, one of peppermint, the other lemon; one pair of small black kid glove.-; one parasol tassel, n camel's hair brush; one love lc,tor. very tender, praising the recipient and riinni'lg down another girl, hence were valuable; one horsehair ring, un finished; three hair pins; one perfum ery bottle stopper; a box of breath perfume; a ball of floss and a broken crochet needle; a small piece of raw cotton full of white powder; the left heel of a No. 2 gniler; one slocking with a hole in the (oc; a thimble lind a nut cracker. The pocket is ol yel low nnpkcen, find can boobtatncil on application at this office. A fair committee applied to a deal er in ngriculiural implements for something they could sell in shares.

J)oih Pedro, orRni7.il, is tlip. firs' reigning monarch that ever visited our country. Wealth, fashion, and official position were ready to kneel in the dust before his .South American majestv. Having more than enough of adulation und gilt-edged fuss and feathers at Imme; th?? royal visitor to our shores gave notice, in advance, that he wanted none of them while remaining in our midst. His wise determination was not respected ? wealthy merchants and prominent officials crowded to fawn upon an Emperor. Dom Pedro dismissed the intruders with cold politeness; ilistend ot in king himself the central figure of a fashionah'e reception bull, or banquet, he went unattended, S:\vo by a single ri porter, to inspect the work i gs of n newspaper establishment. When naked to receiee, in a private manner, a delegation of fifty leading citizens of New York, he declined insistiug that the representatives of the pre=s should he present. The re quest was granted. Dom Pedro, in reply to a fulsome address of welcome, made a lew pertinent remarks, which, before delivering, he put down on paper, and, to the astonishment of the assembled millionaires, handed the royal "copy" to a reporter, with instructions to give slips to all the papers. American snobbishness re ceived a well-deserved set hj^ek; the America?', power that is stronger than money and office combined?'journal inn?was treated with the considera tion that of right belongs to it. Mr. Pedunclo und Eis Cow Mr-. Peduncle went out to milk the other day. Now, if there is one thing .Mr. Peduncle prides himself upon, it is his perfect command of a cow. With his bucket on the ground he milks with bulb hands, and sings menu w hile, occasionally bestowing a word of warning upon the cow if sit 3 whi-ks her tail at him <>r trL-s to scratch her I eck w.th her hind foot. On this occasion he had nearly finish ed rind was singing cheerfully : ; "My soul (so now!) be "oh thy guard. ( What in the Egyptian sand hills ails this cow ?") ?'Ten thousand (thunder and borax ! ft a ml still ! foes arise"? Ami as Alr% Peduncle raised him self up froh? the- barn floor arid wiped the milk mit of bis ears and nose, he saw up in the loft the wile of his j boson, with a long switch in her hand, with which shv", hud been tickling the gentle animal's no c, and she said in an awful Voice : "Oliver Peduncle. 1 reckon you'll wrap your old t< bacco box in my handkerchief again, next Sunday, won't ye??and have, me to take it to church and sling it out on the floor? hey ?" When he milks now, Mr. Peduncle sings very softly, ' indeed, and keep* one. eye on the loft. -??WO? ? - ? -f" ?'. - A Quaker having married for his wile a member of the Church of Eng land, was asked, after Jic ceremony, by the clergyman for his fee, which tie said was si crown. The Quaker, astonished at t he demand, said if he could be shown any text in Scripture which proved the. lee was a crown he would give it, upon which the clergy man directly turned to the twelfth chapter of Proverbs, verse fourth, where it said : "A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband." "Thou art right," replied the Quaker, "in the assertion; Solomon was a wise man. Here is thy money, which thou hast well and truly earned V" *m* ? m^mrn, . Jenohl used lb tell this incident from his own experience: A pass enger, well-to do in the World, hail fallen overboard at sea, an.I his life was saved by an Irish sailor, who jumped in after him. As a reward for the service which his preserver had rendered him, the generous passenger presented the man with sixpence! Whereupon the sailor, scanning him from head to foot with a smile of sup.'cme coil tempt, exclaimed in a rich brogue, "llu jabers, it's enough !" In India ouc hundred dialects nrc spoken by the two hundred and forty million of people who belong to a great number of distinct races, and whoso habit of life to-day arc css< ittinlly similar to those practiced by their predecessors throe thousand years ago. Three hundred years of labor in that peninsular have brought twelve, million souls under Russian swuy. The English in one-third of that time have extended their power over two hundred million. - .. m? ? mm - A petition is circulating in Mc K im icy, Tcxio, and numerously sign ed, asking tbc Legislature to pass a lfnv to punish horse thieves as follows : First offense, whipping post; second,, whipping and branding; third, hang ing. How it Happens. The Louisville C aiiiun'-.rouhi of makes the following explanation in regard to how a paragraph sometimes appear.? more than once in the .same issue of a paper : I t notunfrcqucntly happens that in a newspaper which publishes every day a vutl amount and great variety of reading mutter, the .same para graph appears tw.ee, or even three times, and no doubr. there ar readers who marvel much (hat this should he thus, particularly as all journals are expected to he as fresh and new as possible. One of the chief causes of such repetitious is the number of mighty intellects which a large paper employs to prepare the matter which it published. Though each of these mighty intellects has positive orders to read the paper thoroughly every day, so that ho may repeat nothing, and is paid rather for this reading than for what he furnishes for publica tion, ho rends only what he himself has prepared?all tho bright thoughts und selections of all the other mighty intellects seeming to him not worth his attention?overshadowed, as everybody can sec, by the magnitude of his own productions. Of course there is always one .supreme intellect to oversee Iho mighty intellects, but ho is so burdened that, with all hi3 great poVers, he cannot always keep up with details in the rush and hurry incident to his position. It is the mighty intellects who make the trouble. Newspaper Advertising. Newspaper advertising is now recognized by business men having faith in their own wares as the most effective means for securing fur their wares a wide recognition of their merits. Newspaper advertising compels in quiry, and when the article offered is of good quality ami at a fair price, the natura result is increased sales. Newspaper advertising is a perma nent, addition to the reputation, of the goods advertised, because it is a per manent influence always at work in their interest. Newspaper advertising is the most energetic and vigilant of salesmen, addressing thousands each day, always in the advertiser's interest, and ooasO' hsslv at work ::ct king customer's from all classo*. NeSvsphpcr advertising promotes trade, for even in the dullest times advertisers secure by far the largest share cd*what isinmig done. While the advertiser eats and sleeps pi inters, steam engines and printing presses are at work tot* hi in, trains bearing his words to thousands of towns and hundreds of thousands of readers, all glancing with more or less interest til the message prepa-ced for them in the solitude of his ufHce> No preacher ever spoke to so large an audience, or with so little effort, or so eloquently, as you may with the newspaper man's assistance. Why IIk I'lhadki) Guilty.--The custom of appointing young lawyers to de'end pauper criminals received a backset, the other day, in the San Antonio district court. His honor, .Judge Noonan, had appointed two young lawyers to defend an old and experienced horse thief. After in specting his counsel for some time in silence, the prisoner rose in his place and addressed the beuch : ?'Air they tri defend me?" "Yes, sir," said his honor. "I3oth of 'em ?" inquired the prison er. ?'Both of them,"' responded the judge. "Then I plead guilty," an I the poor fellow took his seat, and sighed heavily. In the practice of turning card cor ners, the upper left hand corner de notes "visile," ami is used for an ordi nary call; the upper right hand cor ner turned down means "felicitation," and is for a visit id'congratulations; the lower left hand corner, "conge," represents a farewell caII, and the lower right hand corner, "condol ence,'' expressing desire to sympathize with bereavement. The rule most generally understood is the turning of one end of the card, which denotes a wish to see the ladies of the family. An Indianapolis coli pi o were di vorced. The man afterward, under an asm mod name, advertisod for a wife. A lady replied. Ho : might an interview under a gas lamp. It was she! They were remarried. The mode of gotting witnosses against unlicensed liquor dealers in Middh'town, N. C, is to subpiona sup posed drinkers. Two constables scoured the town, and, although many of the men hid, fifty wore caught. "George,'' said a maiden, as she mi led archly in her lover's face, "what is there in n grand achieve* ment that reminds me of you ?" George's eye lit with pleasure, ami there wan a loving tenderness in the glance with which he replied, "No, darling; please tell me." "Big feet," replied the maiden. She now flattens her no3C against the window-pane, and wonders whether George has com mitted suicide or gone to China. The latest amusement is termed the "Printer's Delight," and is per formed in the following manner: Take n sheet of note paper, fold it lip carefully, and enclose a hank note sufficiently large to'pny up all arrears and a year in advance. And what adds immensely to the feat is to send along the name of a new subscriber, with cash to balance. Keep your eye on the printer, and if you detect n smile the trick is a success. A simplcnnd effectual remedy for ivy poisoning is said to be sweet spirits of niter. Bathe the affected parts freely two or three times during the day, nnd the next morning scarcely any trace of the poison will remain. The day has arrive 1 when a fair race horse has only to die to secure a better monument than the friends of the most prominent public man arc willing to iriv e him. The St. Louis Republican culls for a city ordinance to force tramps to earn their bread and butter. Suppose a tramp doesn't like bread and butter, but wants sweetcake ? As soon as the novelty wears off a man never wakes a baby up for the purpose of hearing it laugh. ? ??. ? ? ? mmWmmmm ? Candidates fear the unknown man most, whoever he may be.
