An official telt of steam heating apparatus
was made on Friday on a Milwaukee & St.
Poul Railroad short line train between St.
Pani and Minneapolis. Tho device consists
of the use of exhaust steam from tho dome of
the engine carried through pipes underneath
the engine and cars, with patent flexible
coupling between each car. This pipe con•
nests in the`centre of each car with a ra,liat•
ing pipe bn each side, with a branch under
each seat. The test.,sooinod perfectly satis-
factory, the thermometer registering eighty
degrees within the ear, while outside it stood
at zero, with a pressure of six pounds to the
square inch inside the oar. The engineer des
elated he'saw no perceptible difference iu the
amount of coal used.
A young married man nnmedBerthiaumo,
left Terroboune about 15 years ago to seek
his fortune in California, intending, to
send or return for his wife when his means
w ould permit. Tiro passed away, and at
th e end of one year the woman received a
let ter from the West informing her hus-
band was dead. Tho poor woman lived
a9 best"hhe could for a year or two, and
then got married again tn one of the most
pro'mihcnt merchants of the village, and
they hhve muco lived very -happily togeth•
er. Tho other day, to the great anrprtsd
of all the villagers, Berthinutne, who had
long been mourned as dead, put in an, ap-
pearance and Claimed his wife. Tho vill-
ge cur was appealed to for a;decision,nnd

leeward to the offer of $100.000 fur
MUM'S., Mr. Bonner of New .York says;
"If anybody were to offer me $200,000 or
$300,00Q it would be all the same, There
are somethings we do not part with for
money, and Maud S. is one of them.
Vanderbiltfelt the same way about her,
and I was never more surprised in my life
than when he offered her to me. The $40,-
000 Lgave him for her -was no more to him
than 4Q cent would be to moat men.
Tho reason he sold her was because his
eyesight had grown dim and ho Could not
see his horses when. he drove them. Van-
derbilt knew 1 had some good horses and
that I took good care of them, and he„
wanted her placed with me because be
wanted& her well eared for. It was for
her comfort he was looking for that is all.
A horrible state of affairs has been dis-
closed at the Amherst Court House Vir-
ginia poor houso'by the Granit Jtiry, The
female inmates complained of treatment
too appalling to be described, and abuse
from Superintendent Dawson. The wo-
men were almost naked, and one was dis-
covered in a cold room without a fire,
wearing only: an old calico wrapper. Ver-
min and filth were foend in every depart-
ment, the odor of which was sufficient, to
cause pestilence. The county authorities
furnished the Superintendent with bed -
°bathing for the utueof theTattpeite; but`-tht3
Grand Jury fauna only five blankets, and
all of them were in possession of a mulatto
woman, a favorite of the Superintendent.
It was also discovered that nameless
crimes were systematically carried -on to
such an extent that it was dangerous for
respectable dependents to be sent there.
The removal of the Superintendent and
his arrest were ordered immediately.
