UnquestionabQv the bravest men in
America, are those who Can stand upon
tile foot -boards of the locomotive
which draw the fast express trains. But
few persons are S.ware of it, but on th
leading railwaywhere connections
must be made if possible, only engineers
known to be brats) and dating are giv-
en engines on express traina, and as
soon as an engineer shows the least UM—
idity about tamping fast he is taken
from his engine' I and given one on a
freight train to run. Two such eases
have occurred recently on Indianapolis
roads. Railroad officers state that the,
first sign that an engineer is becoming
timid is that he will be five or ten Minr
utes late, possibly hall an hour, fori
some days or nights in succession. He
is then called to an account, and unless
his reasons are convincing an engineer
is given his engine to run for a fe
times, and should. he bring the train
promptly on time, the first named: en-
gmeer gets a freight train engine fo" run
until he braces up. It is stated, howi-
ever, that after an engineer allows his
timidity to get a'fair hold he seldom sn
far overcomes it as to have the bravery
to step on to an express train and run
it at the speed necessary to make the
time. Quite recently an engineer of
one of the roads running west from Bufi
falo got an impression that some acci-
dent was to happen to him, and one
night, when running a fast express, he
constantly lost tirne. At the first sta-
tion where the train stoped the con-
ductor berated him for running so slow.
The engineer actually shed tears, and
owned that fears had oVercome him and
that he dare not run fast, and at his
own request an engineer 'of a freight
train, which stood at this meeting point
was given the train to run through that
night, the conductor telegraphing the
train master, asking that the request be
granted. The timid engineer has since
run a freight on the road.

A Blunder and its Reward.
During his first visit to Paris M. Las-
salle, a distinguished "German, present-
ed himself at the house of a well-known
lady, to whom he had sent letters of
introduction in advante. When the
servant opene& the door and received
his card she conducted him to the
boudoir and told him to be seated say-
ing, " Madame will come immediately."
Presently.the lady entered. She was
dishabille and her feet Were bare,cover-
ed only with loose slippers. She bowed
to him carelesslyoand said : "Ali, there
you are; good morning'
She threw herself on a sofa, let fall a
slipper, and she reached out to LaBelle
her very pretty foot.
Laselle was naturally completely
astonished, but he remeinbered that at
his home in Germany it wasthe custom
sometimes to kiss a lady's hand, and he
supposed it was the Paris mode to kiss
her foot. Therefore he did not hesitate
to imprint a kiss hpon the feot so near
him, but he 'could, not aVoid saying, "1
thank you, madame, for this new meth-
od of making a lady's acquaintance. It
is much better, and certasinly more gen-
erous than kissing the hand."
The lady jumped up highly indignant.
Who are you, sir, and what do you
mean?"
He gave his name. -
"You are not, then, a born -doctor !"
"I am charmed to say, madame,tlaat ;
I am not." ;
"But you sent mo the corn -doctor's
card." ;
It was true. Lasalle, in going out I
that morning, had picked up the card ,
of a corn -doctor from his bureau and I
put it in his packet. This, without
glancing at, he had given to the servant.
There was nothing to do -but laugh over
the joke.
One of Mr. Lincoln's .Parables.
During the war some western gentle-
men called at the White House and
harangued Mr. Lincoln in an •excited
manner about the omissions and com-
missions of the administration. He
heard them with his usual patience,
and finally aaid :
." Gentlemen, suppose all the preperty
you were worth was in gold and you had
put it in the hands of Blondin to carry
across Niagara Falls on atight rope,
woutd you shake the rope While he was
passing over it, or keep shouting to him,
Blondin, stoop a little more," Go a
little faster?' No, 1 am sure you would
not. You would hold your breath as
well as your tongue, and keep your
hands off until he was safely over.
Now, the government is in the same
situation, and is carrying across a
stormy ocean an immense weight; un-
told treasures are in its hands; it is do-
ing the best it can; don't badger it;
keep silence, and it will get you safely
over."
•
Served Him Right.
A stosy is told of a Kentucky girl
who had agreed to elope with a lover
whom her parents refused to admit to
the house. She descended the ladder
in the night and started with him on
horseback. " Now you -see hew reneh I
lo-ve you," she said; you will always be
a true and -kind husband, won't you ?"
He answered gruffly, "Perhaps I may,
and perhaps not."
She rode in silence a few minutes,
when she suddenly exclaimed-: "O11!
what shall we ? I have left ray
money behind me in my room !"
s' Then," said he, " we anust go hack
andfetch it."
They were soon again at the house,
the ladder was again placed, the lady
remounted, while the ill-natured lover
remained below. But she delayed to
come, and so he gently called, "Are
you coming?" when she looked. out of
the window. and said, "Perhaps I may,
and perhaps not," and then shut down
the window.
How a To Undressed.
A,gentleman se ds to an agricultural
paper an amusing description of "How
a Toad Takes off His Coat and Pants."
He says he has seen oue do it, and a
friend. has seen another do the same
thing in the same way:
About the middle of July I found a
toad on a hill of melous, aatcl not want-
ing him to leave I hoed round him.
He appeared sluggish and. not inclined
to move. Presently- I observed him
pressing his elbows against his sides
and rubbing d.owsiSvard. He appeared
so singular that -I watchedsto see what
he was up to. After a fevasmart rubs
his skin began to burst open along his
back. Now,' said • I, old fellow, you
have done it;' but he appeared to be
unconcerned; and kept on rubbing un-
til he- hacl worked all his skin into
folds on hiS sidea Allfl hips; then grasp-
ing one hind leg of his pants with! both
his hands, he hauled off one leg of his
pants the same as anybody would, then
stripped the other hind leg the same
way. He then took his cast off cuticle
forward between his fore -legs into his
mouth and swallowed it; then by rais-
ing and lowering his -head, swallowing
as hie head came down he stripped off
the skin underneath uutil it came to
his fore -legs, and. then grasping one of
these with opposite hand, by consider:
ircble pulling, stripped off the skin;
changing hands, he stripped the other,
and by a slight motion of the head, and.
all the while swallowing, he drew it
from the neck and swallowed the
whole. The operation seemed an agree-
able one and occupied but a short time.

The Story of a Negro Finan-
cier.
'There is a colored man here in Rich-
mond, writes a correspondent of the
Boston Transcript, whose history might
interest those who are giving any
thought to the negro question. He was
freed before the war, and hired as a
butler in a private family, where he
saved one thousand dollars. This sum,
which was to him a great fortune, he
hid in his house, where he passed the
night. Every morning, before going to
work, he counted over his gold. One
day, being in a hurry, he left the bag
upon his table and looked. up the house.
When he returned, the gold, the ac-
cumulation of years, was gone. The
poor man was almost dnad with grief,
but the next day he began anew to
make his fortune. Selling his furniture
for 3O, he began buying up second-
hand household goods by auction and
retailing them at a large profit. This
was at the end of the war, when people
ere coming back to Richmond, and
the city was in a state of great con-
fusion, everything selling for double its
value, so that this enterprising negro
often made as much as $50 a day. He
soon bought a market, and built a
$3,000 house, into which he moved.
He then married, and bought a house
for his wife's destitute family,educating
her sisters, and sending them provisions
from the market every week. He now
owns several hackney, coaches, which
bring him in a good deal of money; his
market is well patronized, and. he is
held in high esteem by all—white and
black—who know him.
•
A Russian Anecdote.
Among the most extraordinary •of the
tyrannical regulations of the Russian
police is oae which strictly forbids any
one to touch a dead nr• dying man with-
-out the direct sanction of the Police.
In consequence of this arbitrary enact-
ment, it is no uncommon thing to see a
man lying bleeding and helpless from a
severe fall in the streets of Moscow or
St. Petersburgh without any One daring
to assist him. To what extent this curious
tyranhy is carried may be judgedfrom a
single instance. An English gentle-
man residing at Petersburg, one morn-
ing found his Russian groom hanging
by theaneck in the stable, and cut him
down at once, just in time to save his
life. The next day he received a visit
from the local Inspector of police who
far from commending his prompt hu-
manity, vehemently abused him for
daring to transgress the law. The
Englishman heard him to the end with-
out a word, and then said quietly:
"Well, Mr. Inspector, Ian extremely
sorry to have clone anything, but I'll
make all the amends in my power. If
I find you hanging anywhere, I pledge
you my honor I won't cut you down."
- Fislitng by Dynamite.
While the volunteers from Winnipeg
were stationed at Cross Lake, several
officers and men weut down to the lake
for the purpose of fishiug, but the fol-
lowers of Isaac.Waltou met with little
success. At last one proposed to try
glycerine, and the idea was adopted.
A flask full was procured, the fuse
ignited, and the explosive thrown into
the lake. All retreated from the bridge
of ties—fortanately for them—as one
minute later the bridge upheaved in
the centre anct a heavy volume of water
arose in the air, accompanied with a
dull boom.' •tOn returning to the spot,
myriads ofminnows, and also consid-
erable numbers of grown fish, rose to
the surface dead, or stunnedby the
shock. The curreut was drawing them
out of reach, when two volunteers
stripped, plunged in, and brought the
largest of the fish to laud. One of these
men was an- excellent swimmer, and
seized a large fish in each hand and
swam ashore, at other times taking
them between his teeth. The fish -were
strung together and carrried by two
men, on a pole, to camp, where they all
had tho pleasure of feasting on fresh
perch, pike and suckers.

MediCal
A. remarkable oure was lately per-
formed by ,a medial practitioner at..
Roseneath,, Ncrthu-naberland, county.
-About five years ago Miss Maggie Mof-
fatt, daughter of Mr. And/1;yr Moffatt,
•of Otonabee, was suddenly seized with
a pain in her left knee, and. the whole
side, from the fingers of her hand down
to the toes of her foot, was affected.
After she had been confined to her bed
for some months, the leg began gradu-
ally to draw up, until it remained al-
- most doubled under her. For nearly
two years -She continued to suffer great-
ly, and medical skill seemed. to give no
relief. About two years ago, Dr. Lean,
of Roseneatlawas palled in, aiad in four
hours succeeded in, straightening the
leg. Shortly afterwards Miss Moffatt -
:was removedin a bed to Roseneath, to
be near the doctor: In ten weeks' time
she was able to walk a -few steps. By
d.egrees she grew stronger and was able
to get about, till a year ago she was
quite cured. She can now 'walk as
well as ever, and ap a good amount of
work.
How He Won All Her Money.
Once there was a young man who
married a young woman, and she was
rich and be was poor, and it made him
sad to think cif it. One day she told
him damaging stories about some of
their neighbors that she had heard at a
tea -fight, and he listened and thought,
and verygioon he found a way out of
his poverty, for his wife believed the
'tale she had heard at the tea -fight. Af-
ter she had finish.ed the stories he said :
'"I will go you five to twenty that there
is not one word Of truth in that you
ihave just told. me,"—for he did not
know how sure his (same was, so he
wanted odds. And she, pitying his
folly, said, "It's a whack," and they in-
vestigated the stories and found them

false, so he won. And they continued
in this sinful practice of betting on the
truth or falsity of town gossip, in the
same order in which they started out,
and four years bad not turned the cor-
ner ere he had all her wealth, and she
some valuable experience.

New Gun.
Herr Krupp, the _famous Gerinom
gun -maker, has just eclipsed all _his
former efforts by constructing A new
steel cannon, which is the largest piece
of steel ordnance yet made. It weighs
72 tons, is32 feet long, and has a cali-
bre of HI inches, while that of the
English 80 -ton guns has only 18 inches.
The charge for this monster gun is to
be 385 pounds of prismatic powder, the
projectile being a *billed iron shell
weighing 1,660 pounds and having a
bursting charge of 22 pounds of powder.
The force of the shot on leaving the
gun is estimated at 31,000 foot tons,
and it is calculated that when pointed
at an angle of 43 degrees with the hori-
zon the gun will throw its projectile a
distance of 15 miles.
