James Carson Killed.
JameB Carson, aged 37 years, a son of the late Madison Carson, a well known yonng man of this city, died Sunday night in Chicago of injuries received while working on the Michigan Central railroad lust Tuesday. James Carson, whose widowed mother lives on east Franklin street, was for quite a while a brakeman on the Big Four and Monon, but later transferred to the Michigan Central. He was a sober, industrious man and a good brakeman. Last Tuesday out near Pullman he was ordered to make a coupling and stepped in between the oars to perform the work. It so happened that one of the cars had no bumper and Carson was caught between them and cruelly crushed. He was taken out and carried to the hospital in Chicdgo where he died Sunday night after a period of intense suffering. William Sanders, formerly of this city and an old friend of Carson, brought the remains down from Chicago to-day for interment. ,r,
The mother of James Carson is deserving of peculiar sympathy. She raised a family of 13 children and only about five are now alive. Several of her children met violent deaths. She is quite poor and could doubtless obtain heavy damages from the Michigan Central. James Carson was a popular oung man and a thorough workman, steady and reliable.
The funeral will occur' to morrow at 3 o'clock. Interment in the Masonic cemetery.
A Soft Snap For David A. Eoach. David A. Roach has renewed his youth and is as happy as a girl with six proposals. He received a telegram from Indianapolis last evening stating that he had been appointed Sheriff of the 8upreme Court with a salary of $1,000 a year and fees. The duties of the office are extremely difficult and arduous but Mr. Roach is capable of filling the place. He will be under the painful necessity of going to Indianapolis four times a year and calling out: "Oyez! Oyez! Oy(••/.'. the Supremo Court is now in session."
That will be about the extent of his labor but think of the weary weeks of brain work that will be consumed in committing the speech to memory. Mr. Roach obtained the place through the influence of Judge James McCabe, his fast personal friend. The olliee is the greatest sinecure in the gift of the State and was sought by eager hordes. Mr. Roach is a clever fellow and all will rejoice with him in his good luck. The vike is easy and the provender is peaches and cream.
Death of Frank Jones.
Frank Jones, aged 21 yearn, died this morning at o'clock at the home of his sister, Mrs, Ben Oliver, south of the city. Mr. Jones had but recently returned from Florida, where he wen' in search of health. He was a brother of Miss Maggie Jones, of the Longview school and was a popular young man.

BACK DOORS TO SCIENCE.
A Slwemnk.r anil Farmer Who Fnun'ri Them and l)ld Good Work. Years ago, in Brattleboro, among the green hills of Vermont, lived a man who was worthily earning his living as a shoemaker. Ife was fairly successful in a business point of view, but when ho had reached the age of thirty-five or forty his health gave way. Going to New York to consult an eminent physician, ho was shown into an ante-room, and was looking at some plants in the window when the doctor came in. Examining the case carefully, this wise physician said: "You do not need medicine what you want is outdoor exercise and mental employment. I saw you looking at the flowers in the window. Are you interested In botany?" The shoemaker replied that he knew nothing about botany, but had always been fond of flowers. "Well," said the doctor, "go homo, and every day this summer go out Into the woods and fields and gather one flower, bring it home and find out the name of it."
Ho at first felt a little as Naaman did at his prescription of washing in the river Jordan, but finally, like Naaman, took his prescription and began the study of botany. Soon he became deeply interested, and in two or three seasons had collected nearly all the flowering plants of that vicinity. Having his attention called to mosses, he wrote Dr. Gray asking for some textbook upon that subject. This being before the day of "Gray's Manual"— that model of what text-book should be—the only work Dr. Gray had to recommend was in German.
Nothing daunted, the shoemaker bought an "Ollendorff'' and soon learned German enough to read his text-book. A while after, a French book on that subject corning in his way, he studied French until he could manage its contents, and then took up Latin and Greek sufficiently to be able to trace the derivation of botanical names. At last, having fairly mastered the more common divisions of the vegetable kingdom, he began the study of fungi, and there, as he told a friend, he had found a work to last him a lifetime. This necessitated the purchase of more books and, finally, of a Beck's miscroscope. Anu for years he could be seen every day in his shop, on one side his lap-stone, his bench, and the implements of his daily labor, and on the other a library of botanical works in three or four languages, and on a shelf over his head his beautiful microscope.
And thus he spent the evening of his days until his death, a genial, cultivated, intelligent, Christian shoemakerbotanist. In reply to a question as to the amount of time he had devoted to his studies he said: "Always an hour a day, and as much more as possible." Such was the record of Charles C. Frost, a man whom it was a privilege to have as a friend.
The second case is that of a farmer in Virginia from whom, some years ago, I received a request that he might send me a package of colored sketches of wild flowers, and that I would verify or rectify hisdetermination of their name*.
Inquiry developed the fact that he had reached adult age as a farmer, when he began to feel the neod of some subject of thought and interest outside of his daily work.
Without any scientific help or knowledge, he sot about collecting and naming the birds of the Shenandoah valley. Not satisfied with stuffed specimens, he conceived the idea of painting the birds he collected. With no artistic knowledge or instruction, he ordered paints and brushes and set himself at work, and to-day there are very few artists in the country who can paint birds with so much of artistic grace and scientific accuracy as he.
After a few years, having transferred to paper all the birds of the region, he procured a "Gray's M*uiual" and began to study the plants of the valley, first determining their names and then painting them. He accordingly sent on a package of colored sketches, artistically attractive and so true to nature that there was not the slightest doubt as to any of the seven hundred and fifty species represented, while his own unassisted determinations were so accurate that not a dozen names needed to be altered.—Prof. Pickering, in Christian Union.
Desire* to Hear Testimony. Henry Thome, traveling secretary of the Y. M. C. A., writes from Exeter Hall, Strand, Loudon, February 2, 188R: "I desire to boar my testimony to the value of Allcock's Porous Plasters. I have used them for pains in the back and side arisingfrom rheumatic and other causes never without deriving benefit from their application. They are easily applied and very comforLing. Those engaged as I am in public work which involves exposure to sudden clmngea of temperature, will do well to keep a supply of Allcock's Porous Plasters in their portmanteaus."

AN OLD SPINET.
Some of tho Carious Predecessors or the Modern l'lnnorovte. Perhaps one of the most interesting relics of antediluvian date ever seen in this city is an old piano which, a few days ago, was in a repair shop on Richmond street This old instrument is of the spinet type and is :t72 years old. It is thought to be the old est spinet harpsichord in existence, and is owned in Bristol. It is the product of John Hitchcock, of London, Eng., and bears the date of 1520 upon the front board over the keyboard. In the South Kensington museum there is an instrument of the same make which has been carefully preserved, and which is always an object of curiosity to visitors to the museum. This instrument bears the date of 1531, and was made at Bologna. The Conservatoire at Paris is also the proud possessor of a similar instrument, which is also a source of envy to antiquarians, and was mado two years after the Bologna instrument on exhibition at KenBiugton.
As there appears to bo no record of the existence of any instrument previous to 1520, it is safe to say that the spinet piano in this state is the oldest in the world. In outward appearance the instrument is Bimilar to the grand piano of the present, although consider-

The action is unique. The instrument is similar to a small harpsichord with one string to each note. The strings are set in vibration by points of quills elevated on wooden uprights known as jacks, and the depression of tho keys causes the points to pass upward, producing a tone similar to that of a harp. Springs are used to draw the quills back into position. The keyboard is arranged in a manner after the present modern piano.— Providence (R. I.) .TonrnaL

ably smaller, but the mechanism presents a striking contrast to the modern pianoforte.
The spinet instrument was an improvement upon what was known as the clavichord, tho tone of which, although weak, was capable, unlike that of the harpsichord or spinet, of increase or decrease, reflecting the finest gradations of the touch of the player. In this power of expression it was without a rival until the piano was invented. The early history of the clavichord previous to the fifteenth century rests in profound obscurity, but it i.s said that there is one bearing the date 1520, having four octaves without the sharp and sharp notes. The spinet was the invention of the Venetian Sptnetta.
