THE ?AILROAD SCAEE
ODO EFFECTS OF THE FIRST SIGHT
OF A LOCOMOTIVE.
Some of tlie People of the Sonta, Hid
Behind Trees In IS03, When the
? Iron Horse Went Sy-The Country's
Earliest Railroad.
America cannot lay claim to the first
locomotive or the first railroad. That
great honor lies with England. Yet
Xsnfree genius was not very far behind
ner, for, when George Stephenson
launched his first real locomotive, the
Socket, on the Liverpool and Manches?
ter road in 1S29, the first spike had been
driven on the Baltimore and Ohio rail?
road, Jnly 4, 1S2S, by Charles Carroll
of Carroliton, the last surviving signer
of the Declaration of Independence.
This was the first road started in the
United States, and In*lS30 it had reacb
* ?d Elllcott Mills, 13 miles from Balti?
more.
Bot the south can claim the honor of
-completing the longest railroad in the
world at that date, being the old
Charleston and Hamborg road, now a
part of the Sooth Carolina and Georgia
ny stem, which was begun in 1S30, and
ly October, 1S33, It had 137 miles of
track in operation. In a letter from
Mr. Samuel C. Clarke of Georgia, a
Hiwman of the writer, who attained
the extreme age of 91 years and who
liad seen the beginning and the comple?
tion of this road, he thus gives his ex?
perience upon first sight of a locomo?
tive:
v ""One day while going down to
'Charleston with a party of gentlemen
-to attend the races as we approached
tne city we saw in the distance the
new railroad, finished some 10 or 12
miles out of Charleston. It was built
upon piles, longer or short, according
to the nature of the ground. Sometimes
Sn crossing a ravine the rails were 20
feet from the surface. Our track ran
near this elevated road, and soon a
norrid shriek as from 20 panthers was
beard in the woods. By this time we
.were nervous. Elephants and lions
we had heard of, and some of us had
Been them, but what monster was this
whose screams we heard? Presently
it came in sight, flying aloft through
the air and breathing fire and smoke,
and our frightened steeds became un?
manageable, and in fact I think that
.come of our party were as badly fright?
ened as their horses. If any of my
readers are old enough to remember
the introduction of' locomotives and
now they felt at first sight of them,
they will perhaps understand our sen?
sations that day in the pine woods.
**A mile or two farther on we came
to a broken wagon by the side of the
road, and near it sat a Georgia cracker
smoking his pipe. On being asked
what was his trouble he replied. 'Well,
stranger, I've often beam tell of nulli?
fication, and now I reckon I've saw it
for true.' "
It is somewhat amusing now to read
of the superstitious dread with which
the inhabitants looked upon the build?
ing of these first railroads. . Some
thought the smoke of the continual
passing trains-would cause a pestilence
or destroy all the crops along the road.
Others were afraid to ride on the cars
for fear of having their breath taken
away, and the people in the cities ob?
jected to the railroad being built be?
cause they feared the smoke from the
engines would soil tie clothes which
were hung out to dry.
Many are yet living who iooked upon
the terrible, screeching iron monster
with awe and trepidation. Mr. Nat Mc?
Gee of ivy. Albemarle, tells a joke upon
himself that when he heard the train
coming he jumped from his horse and
got behind a tree, where he viewed it
for fear of being run over. Mr. W. T.
Prout, who was taking a wagon load of
produce to Richmond, when he reached
iiordonviile heard the whistle and ter?
rible noise of the approaching train,
and he and his companions were so
scared that they sprang out. ieaped the
?ence and ran across the field to a safe
distance, leaving the wagon and team
to its fate, but when the train appeared
It was only an engine and one coach.
The first roadbeds were formed, as
ahas been stated, by driving piles in the
ground, upon the top of which were
placed wooden stringers, in which were
cot a groove for the wheels to nm.
These were called "wooden railroads"
and at a distance appeared like the ele?
vated railroads in the cities of the pres?
ent day. The honor of this invention
was contested between John Hartman
inf Scotts ville. Va., and John Williams,
an engineer of Ohio, but lt did not
prove a bonanza to either, for the
wheels were constantly bouncing out of
the groove, and the piles soon after
Save place to solid dirt embankments,
and strap iron rails were substituted
SOT the wooden groove. But the grad?
ing was very Imperfect and uneven,
which made riding on one of these
?primitive railroads like going over a !
corduroy road in a springless wagon, I
with the cars bouncing over these !
Tough rails to the jingling music of the
windows.-Richmond Dispatch.
Swallowed Two Pound? of Stone.
Stones do not form part of the rec?
ognized diet of the cormorant, but one
of these birds in the National Zoolog?
ical park in Washington had a craving
which could be satisfied only by eat?
ing two pounds of stones. The keep?
er's attention was attracted to the bird
because after having once sat down
it couldn't get up. He was picked up,
and then the stones were heard rattling
inside of him. An official connected
with the park decided that something
must be done, and he promptly cut the
cormorant open and relieved him of his
burden. One of the stones, of irregular
shape, was 3*4 Inches long. The in?
cision was sewed up, and for five days
the bird got along all right, the wound
healing finely, but at the end of that
time the cormorant grew restive and
pulled out the stitches with his hooked
?)ill. As a consequence of opening up
the wound he died.
SIGNALING TG MARS.
i ~
j Tlie DlC.culty of Do'rpc So by Merin,
of LI5L1?.
The very largest city that this earth
has ever known would be alrose!he:
j too small to be visible to a bei?-,
i dwelling: on the planet Mars, even ii
that bein? were endeavoring to see ii
'? with a telescope as powerful as the
greatest and most perfect instrument
? in any observatory on this globe.
if the whole extent of Lake Superior
was covered with petroleum and if that
petroleum was set on fire, then, I think,
we may admit that an inhabitant of
Mars who was furnished with a tele?
scope as good as that which Percival
Lowell uses at Flagstaff might be able
to see that something had happened.
But we must not suppose that the
mighty conflagration would appear to
the Martian as a very conspicuous ob?
ject It would, rather, be a very small
feature, but still I think it would not
be beyond the reach of a practiced ob?
server in that planet.
On the other hand, if an area the size
of Lake Superior on Mars was to be
flooded with petroleum and that petro?
leum was to be kindled, we should ex?
pect to witness the event from here not
as a great and striking conflagration,
but as a tiny little point of just dis?
cernible light The disk of Mars is
not a large object, and the conflagra?
tion would not extend over the three
hundredth part of that disk.
It is sufficient to state these facts to
show that the possibility of signaling
to Mars is entirely beyond the power of
human resources.-Sir Robert S. Ball
in Independent.
BLUNDERS IN FICTION.
The Queer Mistakes That Are Some?
times Made by Authors.
We smile as we read and pass swiftly
by the stories of maidens that wander
in "lonely woods" at unearthly hours
of night, always clad in "a soft, white
clinging gown." Kow, every girl knows
that the average maiden is too much
afraid of tramps and snakes to wander
in "lonely woods." The weather, too,
appears to perplex our novelists, for
not infrequently they begin a chap?
ter at dawn, there are a few mo?
ments' conversation, and then the "sun
sets in lurid banks behind the distant
empurpled mountains."
I am reminded at the outset of an
English story written by an author of
repute where the heroine in one scene
was made on one page to stoop down
and tie her shoestring, while three
pages farther on, directly following, it
was said of the same girl that she had
remained barefooted the entire day. In
another story a blind woman is made
to view the hero through spectacles be?
fore the tale is ended.
In 9. French novel-and we generally
consider French such literary masters

from her bed to the breakfast table,
out shopping, to an afternoon tea and
to dinner in her robe de nuit! Cousins

without a moment's warning are nu?
merous in this detective's library. Thus
one is amused to find the most mar?

Golf In the Old Days.
Centuries back golf was a pastime of
the royal family, though then usually
played in Scotland. The Stuart family
was very fond of the game, and the
first English club was established at
Blackheath in 160S by James 1. His
eldest son. Henry, frequently played
and on one occasion nearly struck by
accident his tutor with a club, where?
upon he coolly remarked, "Had I done
so I had but paid my debts." Charles
I was playing golf when he received
the news of the Irish rebellion. James,
duke of York, afterward James II, was
another ardent player. Golf is fre?
quently mentioned in ancient Scottish
records and in the fifteenth century
was prohibited because it interfered
with the practice of archery. Strutt
considered it the most ancien: game at
ball requiring a bat.-London Chron?
icle.
The Squirrel Hunter's Weapon.
The cream of squirrel bunting is en?
joyed by the man who uses a light rifle
of small caliber and medium power.
The ".22 long" as now turned out by
our leading makers is an excellent
weapon-in fact, the best in the world
for the purpose. Though not of suffi?
cient range to be dangerous to people
or stock at a distance, it throws lead
with surprising accuracy to the tops of
the tallest trees. Good rifle shots al?
ways aim for the squirrel's head both
? to add to the difficulty of the sport and
to avoid spoiling ineat. And be it
known that a squirrel's head at a range
of 40 or 50 yards is no easy mark. If
a reader doubts this, let him go to the
woods for a day. keep ail empty shells,
and at the end of the day let him try
to make the dead squirrels and the
empty shells tally.-E. W. Sandys in
Outing.
Early Birds.
The green finch Is the earliest riser.
It pipes as early as half past 1 in the
morning. The blackcap begins at half
past 2, It is nearly 4 o'clock before
the blackbird appears. It is heard half !
an hour before the thrush, and the :
chirp of the robin begins about the
same length of time before that of the
wren. The house sparrow and the tom?
tit take the last stage of the list.
Xoncookinsr Restaurants.
Odd as it may appear tc dwellers in j
small cities, some of the down town
restaurants of New York are in build?
ings in which no cooking is allowed.
Some of the busiest of the midday res?
taurants purchase all their meats and !
stews already cooked and merely heat '
them through again before serving j
them to patrons. This branch of the
restaurant business has reached such
proportions that the mere operation of
cooking for such places has become an
established business, and owners of
I ovens thrive at it.-New York Sun.
THE TALE OF A DOG.
A TRUTHFUL NARRATIVE OF CANINE
TENACITY AND SAGACITY.
As tht. Story of tho I->nt Was Related
b>- a Preacher Who Was a Party to
tlie Incident Xo Further Testimony
Is Necessary.
A certain Nashville statesman is
about one of the best story tellers in
Tennessee, and his repertoire includes a
lot of good ones, fish and otherwise.
On the truthfulness of some he will
stake his reputation for veracity, but
he tells one which he always prefixes
with the statement that it was told him
by a minister of the gospel, Dr. Bard?
well, who will be remembered here by
the older inhabitants as the assistant
of Dr. Edgar of revered memory, who
was pastor of the First Presbyterian
church during the latter years of Gen?
eral Andrew Jackson's life and attend?
ed the old hero in his last illness. The
story teller said:
"Dr. Bardwell used to visit my fa?
ther's house when I was a boy, and the
story I am about to tell you was relat?
ed to me on the occasion of one of these
visits. We were out on the veranda
smoking one evening after supper. The
doctor was fond of dogs and was a
pretty good sportsman and naturally
the conversation turned on this subject
"'Speaking of dogs,' said Dr. Bard?
well, Teminds me of a dog which be?
longed to a friend of mine in Mississip
pL I had been invited to hold services
at a church near this friend's house
and wrote him to meet me at the sta?
tion, some six miles from' his house, on
the Saturday afternoon before Sunday,
the day of the appointment
" 'He was on time with horses, and
we started tc his home. I noticed that a
very handsome bird dog followed us,
and, having heard that some one in
that neighborhood owned an especially
well trained trick dog, I asked my
friend about lt
** * "That's the dog," at the same time
pointing at his dog, which had run
ahead of us and was waiting at the
forks of the road.
" 1 asked him to make him perform a
trick. He got down from his horse,
called the dog and, taking out his pock?
etbook, held it to the dog's nose. He
then took ont a silver half dollar and.
walking some distance into the woods,
raised up a large rock and put the mon?
ey under it. We then resumed our jour?
ney, and when probably half a mile
away my friend called his dog and told
him to go back and get the money.
"'The dog, without the least hesita?
tion, started back on a-run, and, my
friend explained, as the rock was heavy
the dog would be unable to turn it
over, so would have to scratch under it
to reach the piece of money, and he
would not probably get home before we
reached there, it then being about three
miles farther on to his house.
" 'However, when we reached home
the dog was not there. We ate supper,
and still the dog did not come, nor had
he put in au appearance when we re?
tired at about 10 o'clock.
" 'The next morning we got up about
daylight, and. hearing a noise outside,
my friend opened the door, and the dog
rushed in dragging with him a pair of
pantaloons, which he dropped on the
floor.
" 'Of course we were both mystified,
but had not long to wait an explana?
tion, for shortly afterward a man who
lived several miles from my friend's
house rode up on a mule and inquired
if a dog with a pair of pantaloons in
his mouth had come into the house.
The dog at this moment came out on
the porch, and the man said. "Why.
there's the dog now."
" 'My friend told his caller that the
dog had really brought a pair of panta?
loons home with him, but he did not
understand it himself.
" 'The man said that late in the after?
noon the day before he found the dog
scratching under a large rock near the
road and. thinking he was after a rab?
bit stopped and lifted the rock up, and,
to his surprise, found a half dollar on
the underside.
" 'He put the money in his pocket and
the dog followed him home. The dog
appeared to be friendly, and the man
petted him and gave him his supper.
At night when the family retired the
dog was put on the outside, but he
kept up such a racket that no one could
sleep on the place, and when the man
opened the door to drive the dog off he
rushed into his bedroom and at once
became very quiet lying down near
the foot of the bed, where he slept al?
night
" 'Early in the morning, the man said,
he got up and opened the window, and
the instant he did so the dog seized his
pantaloons in his mouth and, jumping
out of the window, fled.
" The man followed as soon as he
could get his mule.
" 'Hearing this story, my friend got
the pantaloons and on searching the
pockets found the half dollar which he
had hid under the rock the afternoon
before.' "-Nashville Banner.
Artificial Stone.
Quarrymen and stone dressers will
probably be gradually crowded out of
their occupation by the use of artificial
stone. In the manufacture of this stone
the sand is heated and the cement add?
ed to the amount of 12 per cent of the
mixture. The steel molds are filled
with the dry material and moved into
an immense cylinder, which is closed
and bolted. Boiling water is then
turned in under pressure sufficient to
force it all through the sand in the
molds. Thc cement slacks, but the
steel molds do not permit any expan?
sion to occur, and the stone is formed
and dried under an Immense pressure.
Thc result is a very hard stone, which
can be supplied in shapes desired and
much cheaper than the natural stone.
Lake Morat in Switzerland, has the
curious property of turning red every
ten 3'ears owing to the presence of cer?
tain aquatic plants which are not
known in any other lake in the world.

TALK OF MARRIAGE.
It I? Proper For the Jinn, bat Xot
For the Girl, Apparently.
A mau may remark on his intention
to marry at some indefinite future time,
when prudence or other considerations
may make it possible or advisable,
without having, as a rule, to run the
gantlet of a chorus of impertinent and
stupid would be witty remarks. But
should a girl be bold enough, or, rather,
natural and simple enough, to say tlie
same thing what would be the result?
Why, every one knows that she would
be promptly sneered out of counte?
nance.
And why? Is it immodest for a wom?
an to express a determination to enter
into a state which we are being contin?
ually reminded is a natural and honor?
able state, while it is modest and prop?
er for a man to do so? Such a distinc?
tion would never be drawn except for
the "cheapness" to which reference has
been made.
If a man wants to marry, he can mar?
ry. If the first woman he asks refuses
him, he has only to ask a second or per?
haps a third or fourth. It would be
safe to guarantee that within a month
any man of fairly respectable life and
position and appearance who cared to
make the experiment could marry in
his own class, could marry probably a
woman much superior to himself.
But what about the girl who intends
to marry "some day?" Is she not in a
very different position from the man?
Here is a girl of good character-much
better than the man's, probably-aver?
age intelligence, average good looks.
Theoretically she is free to marry
whom she will, but is she? If she re?
ceives one distinct offer of marriage,
she has had more than her share, ac?
cording to the probable average.
The fact that by an unwritten law a
woman must not take, and, indeed, does
not want to take, the initiative has very
little to do with the extremely limited
choice which modern conditions impose
upon English women.-Nineteenth Cen?
tury.
A VERY CURIOUS BIRD.
The One Youno; Mark Twain Sprung
Upon the Scientists.
Mark Twain's father was an ornithol?
ogist. Ile had several friends who
were also enthusiasts on the subject of
birds. Whenever any one of them dis?
covered a rara avis it was the custom
to have a consultation. Mark had been
a witness of several of these bird in?
quests and had noted the delight the
old men took in discussing a new
found specimen. One day it occurred
.to him to provide the Hannibal orni?
thologists with a real circus in the
form of a bird. He killed a crow and
also a barnyard rooster. Flucking out
the tail feathers of both the crow and
the rooster, he substituted the rooster's
tail feathers for those of the crow, pro?
ducing a unique effect. When he had
the specimen nicely prepared, he went
to his father and, handing it to him,
said:
"Here, father, is a very curious bird
I shot. I thought you would be inter?
ested in it."
The old gentleman gazed upon the
specimen with astonishment. That
evening the ornithologists of Hannibal
were assembled in Mr. Clemens' par?
lor. The rare specimen was put before
them. The discussion was long and
learned. The opinions expressed were
various. One thought the bird was an
offshoot of the bird of paradise fam?
ily; others had equally ridiculous no?
tions as to its ancestry. But there was
one who refused to be swerved by the
peculiarity of the bird's tail from the
judgment that it was of the crow fam?
ily.
"Why, just look here," he said, lift?
ing the bird by Its tail feathers. He
got no further. The feathers came
out. There was a quick closing of a
door. Mr. Clemens started to leave
the room.
"Gentlemen," he said, "please excuse
me a few moments. I will see Samuel
first and explain later."
EATING FISH.
It is not good form to ask for a sec?
ond helping of fish.
It is considered extremely bad form
to use a knife in dissecting fish.
A little modern fish knife, with an in?
genious fork arrangement on one side,
is now made.
A bit of lemon is served with broiled
and baked fish, and it is in correct form
to use the fingers in expressing the
juice.
Potatoes are considered a proper ac?
cessory to the tish course.
Sliced cucumbers, with plain French
dressing, are also served.
With a boiled fish the potatoes are
also usually boiled, cut into bits or
scooped out and garnished with a little
melted butter and chopped parsley.
Never use the fingers to separate the
bones from the eatable portion ot' tish.
The bones must be evaded with such
dexterity as one can command without
other aid than such as a bit of bread
held In the left hand may furnish.
A Confederate Prison Lodge.
j Brother J. T. Parker, of Webb
; Lodge. No. 1S2. in Sigourney, Iowa,
j tells the following interesting story of
I his connection with a Masonic lodge
: which was held in a Confederate pris
. on :
In the fall and winter of 1S6?-65 it
! was my unhappy lot to be confined
; with a large number of Union officers
j in the military prison of Columbia.
! S. C., a part of the time in the lunatic
asylum in the east part of the city,
j While there a number of us who were
j Masons consulted together and agreed,
! if we could get the privilege to meet
j in an upper room over the Confederate
physician's office and post up. (as we
had become somewhat rusty, ) we
would organize a lodge for instruction.
The writer, with two others, were
designated a committee to interview
the doctor in charge. We did so, and
he most cheerfully granted our request
and promised to" meet with us. The
same evening some eleven of us, nine
States being represented, met in the
room spoken of. One of our number
had a copy of the Great Light. It de?
volved on the writer to test the
brethren. After doing so, and all
foudd to be Masons in good stand?
ing, we proceeded to organize an in?
formal lodge for instruction, our
jewels being cut out of paper. Boxes,
properly placed, formed the stations
and altar. Having tools to work with,
our great lights in place, we proceeded
to elect officers. The writer was elect?
ed Master: Wardens. Secretary and
Treasurer being chosen and ai\ ap?
pointive places filled, one of our num?
ber was taken and initiated an enter?
ed apprentice and duly instructed.
What one of us was at a loss to give
some brother could. Since that time
I have often thought it was the most
thorough initiation I ever witnessed.
After the initiation (not being ham?
pered by any Grand Lodge to the con?
trary ) we proceeded to confer so-called
side- degrees, and the victims, I have
no doubt, were forcibly impressed
with the ceremonies. Near morning
we closed our lodge.
We soon met again, opened our
Lodge, and. taking one of our num?
ber, proceeded to pass him to the sec?
ond degree, and if anything was pass?
ed, necessary to fully make a fellow
craft, it was not our intention. After
our regular work being through the
Confederate doctor came up, was test?
ed and found a bright Mason. For
the next two or three hours all enjoy?
ed themselves. The doctor had many
so-called side-degrees that we were not
in possession of,^ and he had as many
victims as he could handle, and we,
to reciprocate, taught the doctor some
things not in his Materia Medica.
We closed the lodge near morning
and soon met again. The moon, edicits
or regulations didn't hamper us. At
this meeting the third degree was our
lesson, and the brother who acted as
our candidate was of the opinion when
we got through that lie had been rais?
ed. I think our first meeting was in
the first day of January, 1S65. I have
no record and have to trust to mem?
ory. We met quite often up to sthe
time we left the prison, February 17,
1865. For some years after coming
home I had the names of the brothers
composing this lodge for instruction,
but the list has been misplaced. I
have not met one of them since we
were exchanged. John M. Godown,
of Fort Wayne, Ind., was one: Smith,
of Pennsyivnia, another: Lock, of
Vermont, another, a first lieutenant
of the 2d Michigan cavalry, another.
His name has passed from me, but he
was the best posted of our number.
He could take any part and do the
work correctly. The others I cannot
recall, but just remember how most of
them looked.
I have made the claim that I
am the only Mason in the United
Sttes that ever was Master of a lodge
in a Confederate prison.
Life Insnrartce.
It is an interesting fact that, what?
ever the reason may be. life insurance
Is much more popular In the United
States than in any other country. In
proportion to their numbers the Amer?
ican people carry twice as much life
insurance as the Britishers, five times
as much as the Germans and eight
times as much as the French.
This is partly explained by the large
number of American policies issued to
serve other purposes than mere provi?
sion for the families of the insured.
The scope of what may be called busi?
ness as distinguished from family in?
surance is constantly enlarging. A'ncv
el and Interesting recert development
of it is the insurance of the lives of
Protestant ministers for large sums
which are made payable at their deaths
to their churches.-New York World
Do Carpets Shorten Life?
Just think what a horrible receptacle
of uuclean things the carpet is in the

there are carpets, people should on en?
tering be given slippers, as in the Neth?

ish mosque. Making servants sweep
carpets is another proof that evil is
wrought for want of thought. Flou
rens attributed the prevalence of lung
