THE CRAZYENGDTEER!

FEOM THE REPORT OP A PRUSSIAN ... CONDUCTOR.

My train left Dantzig in the morning, generally at 7 o'clock, but once a week we had to wait fofc-thc arrival of the steamer from Stockholm. It was on the morning of the steamer's arrival that I came down from my hotel and found that my engineer had been so seriously injured that he could not run. One of the railway carriages had run over him and broken one of his legs. I went immediately to the engine house to obtain another engineer, for I knew there were three or four in the reserve there but I was disappointed.

I inquired for Weslphal and was informed that he had gone to Steegen to visit his mother. Gondolpho had been sent on to Konigsburgh on that road. But where was Maync? He had leave of absenec for two days, and had gone, no one knew whither.

Here was a fix. I heard the puffing of the steamer in the Ncufahrwasser, and the passengers would be on in fifteen minutes. Iran to the guard and asked them if they knew where there was an engineer. But they did not. I then went to the firemen and asked if any one of them felt competent to run the engine to Romberg. Not one of them dare attempt it. The distance was nearly one hundred miles. Vi hat was to be done?

The steamer came to her wharf, and those going on by railroad soon came flocking to the station. They had taken breakfast on board the boat, and were all read}* for afresh start. The baggage was checked and registered, the tickets bought, the different carriages pointed out to the various classes of passengers, and all were seated.

The train was in readiness in the long station house and the engine was steaming and puffing awav impatiently in the distant firing house. "Come, why don't we start?'' growled an old fat Swede, who had been watching me narrowly for (ho last fifteen minutes.

And upon this there was a general chorus of anxious inquiry, which soon settled

into downright murmuring. At this junc- ],

ture some one touched me on the elbow.— turned and saw a stranger by my side.—I expected he was going to remonstrate with me for my backwardness. In fact, I began to have strong temptations to pull off my uniform, for even* anxious eye was fixed upon the glaring badges which marked me as the chief official of the train.— However this stranger was a middle aged man, tall and stout, with a face expressive of great energy and intelligence. His eye was so black and brilliant that I could not for the soul of mc gaze "steadily into it and his lips, which were very thin, seemed more like polished marble than human

flesh. His dress was of black throughout,

and not only fitted with exact nicety, but

was scrupulously clean and neat "a on want an engineer, I understand," he said in a low cautions tone, at the same lime gazing quietly about him, as though he want.'d no one else to hear what he said. "I do." I replied. "My train is all ready and wc have no engineer within twenty miles of here." "Well, Sir, I am going to Romberg, I must go—and if you can find no other, I will run the engine for you." "Ha!" I uttered, "are you an engineer "I am, Sir—one of the oldest in the country and am now on my way to Berlin to make arrangements for a great improvement I have invented in the application of Steam to locomotion. My name is Martin Kroller. If you wish, I will run you as far as Romberg and I will show you running that is running."

Was I not fortunate 1 I determined to accept the man's offer at once, and so I told him. He received my answer with a nod and a smile, and then proposed to go aud get" the engine. I went with him to the house, where wc found the iron horse in charge of the fireman, and already for the start Kroller got upon the platform and I followed. I bad never seen a man betray more peculiar aptness amid the machinery than he did. He let on the steam in an instant, but yet with care and judgment, and he backcd up the baggage carriage with the most exact nicety. I had seen enough to assure mc that he was thoroughly acquainted with the business, and I felt composed once more. I gave the en gine up to my new man and then hastened away to the office. The word was passed for the passengers to take their seats, and goon afterward I waived my hand to the engineer. Tktnvu ft fdF, agr*»oftfce !-.•/ K'Y.EtT'''

heavy axletrees, a trembling of the building and'the train was in motion. I leaped upon the platform of the guard carriage, and in a few moments more the Station house was left behind us.

In less than an hour we reached Dischan where we took up the passengers that had come on the Konigsburgh railroad. Here I went forward and asked Kroller how he liked the engine. He replied that he liked it much. X'JTi

But," he added, with a'strange spark* ling of the eyes, wait till you get my improvement, and then you shall see travel* ing. By the soul of the Virgin Mother, Sir, I could run an engine of my construction to the moon in four and twenty hours.

I smiled at what I thought his quaint enthusiasm and then went back to my station. As soon as the Konigsburgh passen* gers were all on board and their baggage crate attached, we started on again.

As soon as all matters had been attend* ed to connected with the new acccssion of passengers I went into the guard carriage and sat down. A train from Konigsburgh had gone through two hours before, so wc had but one more stopping place before wc reached Romberg, and that was the Little Oscue, where we took the Western mail. "How we go!" uttered one of the guard, some fifteen minutes after wc had left Dischan. "The new engineer is trying the speed, I returned, not yet having any fear. 'But ere long I began to be fearful that lie was running a little too fast. The carriage began to sway to and fro, and I could hear'tbc exclamations of fear from some of the passengers. "Good heavens!" cried one of the guard, coming down, "look, Sir, and see how we are going."

I looked out at the window and found that we were dashing along at a speed never before excelled on that road. Posts, fences, rocks and trees flew by in undistingtiishable masses, and the carriages now swayed fearfully. I arose to mv feet and met a passenger upon the platform. Ho. was one of our chief owners of the road, and was just on his way to Berlin. He was pale and excited. is Martin Kroller on

"Sir," he gasped, the engine?" "Yes," I told him. "Holy Virgin! Don't you know him V' "Know him?" I repeated somewhat puzzled. "What do you mean? lie told me his name was Kroller, and that he was an engineer. We had no one to run the engine, and— "You took him!" interrupted the man. 'Good heavens, Sir. he is as craz}- as a man, can be! He turned his brain over anew plan for applying steam power. I saw him at the station, but I did not then rceognize

the passengers told mc that your engineers were all gone this morning, and that you found one who was a stranger to you.— Then I knew that the man whom I seen was Martin Kroller! He has escaped from the hospital at Stettin. You must got him off somehow.''

The whole fearful truth was now open to mc. The speed of the train was increasing at each moment, and I knew that a few more miles per hour would surely launch us all into destruction. I called to the guard, and then made my way forward as quickly as possible. I reached the after platform of the tender, and there stood

in the wind, his shirt unbuttoned at the throat, his sleeves rolled up, with a pistol in his teeth, aud the fireman who lay motionless upon the fuel. The furnace was stuffed till the very latch of the door was red hot and the whole engine was quivering and swaying as though it would shiver in pieces! *, "Kroller! Kroller!" I cried at the top of my voice.

The crazy engineer stared and caught the pistol in his hand. 0! how those great black eyes glared, and how ghastly and frightful the face looked! "Ha! ha! ha!" he yelled demoniacally, glaring upon mc like aroused lion. "They swore I could not make it. But see! see! see my power! See my engine! I made it! I made it! and they were jealous of mc.— I made it, and when 'twas done they stole it from me. But I have found it. Four years I've been wandering in search of my great engine, and they swore it was not made: But I've found it!—I knew it when I saw it this morning at Dantzig, and was determined to have it. And I've got it— Ho! ho! ho! we're off to the mooon, I say! By the Virgin Mother/we'll be in the moon in four and twenty hours! Down, down, villain! If you move I'll shoot you!"i

This last was spoken to the poor fireman, who at that moment attempted to rise and the frightened man shrank back again. "Here's Little Oscue, right ahead," shouted one of the guard.

But even as we spoke the buildings were at hand. Sickening sensation settled upon my heart for I supposed we were gone now.

They flew by like lightning. I knew if the offiqpp herchad turned lhe switch as usual we should be hurled into eternity in oaefeuM emb. I wr a flufe it waew-

But there was sure death ahead if we did not stop. Only fifteen miles ahead was the town of Schwetz, on the Vistula, and at the entrance, near the bank of the river, was a short curve in the road. At the rate we were now going we should be there in a few minutes, for each minute carried us over a mile! The shrieks of the passengers now rose above the crash of the rails, and more terrific than all else arose the demoniac yells of the mad engineer "Merciful heaven!" gasped the guardsman, "there's not a moment of time be lost. Schwetz is close by! If you dare not go, I'll go myself," he added "let's shoot him!" ,"

At that moment a tall, stout German student came over to the platform where we

stood and we saw that the madman had his

But this is not the end. Martin Kroller remained insensible from the effects of that blow upon the head, nearly two weeks, and when he recovered from that, he was sound in mind again. His insanity was all gone. I saw him about three weeks afterward, but he had no recollection of me. He remembered nothing of the past year—not even of his mad freak upon the' engine.

But I remembered it, and I remember it still and people need never'feaf that I shall ever be imposed upon again by a crazy engineer.

I grasped the man by the arm, but I should have been a mere infant in his mad power had I been alone. He would have hurled me from the platform had not the student at that moment struck him with a stick of wood which he had caught as he came over the tender.

Kroller settled down like a dead man, and the next instant I shut off the steam, and opened the safety valve. As the freed steam shrieked"and howled in its escape, the speed of the train began to decrease, and in a few moments more th%danger was passed and as I settled back, entirely overcome by the wild emotions that had raged within me, we began to turn the curve by the river and before

'He came," said the guard, "and swore that an engine which stood near was his.— He said it was one he had made to go to the moon in, and that it had been stolen from him. We went for more help to arrest him and he fled." "Well," I replied with a shudder, "I wish he had approached me in the same way. But he was more cautious at Dantzig."

At Schwetz we found an engineer to run the train to Romberg, and having taken out the western mail for the next northern train to take along, we saw that Kroller would be properly attended to, and then started on.

The rest of the trip we run in safety, though I could see that the passengers were not wholly at ease, and would not be until they were entirely clear of the railroad. A heavy purse was made up by them for the German student and he acccpted it with much gratitude and I was glad of it, for the current of their gratitude to him mav have prevented afar different current which might have been poured upon my head for having engaged a madman to run a railroad train:

CRAWFORDSVILLE, MONTGOMERY COUNTY, INDIANA, JANUARY 10, 1857:

A THRILLING ADVENTURE. Tw the year 18—, I undertook the perilous journey of crossing the plains. Ow company was composed of nine persons among the number was Bill Johnson, for merly a hunter arid trapper of the west.

At the close of a beautiful day in May, we found ourselves seated around a blazing camp fire upon the banks of the Little Blue River, some two hundred miles from St. Joseph,. Missouri. Some of the company had spread a blanket on the grass, and were busily engaged in a game of cards, whilst Bill Johnson and myself were eagerly discussing the propriety of having an antelope hunt on the succeeding day. We soon came to the conclusion that we would spend the day in hunting, as our train was going to stop several days to recruit our animajs. I cannot say that I enjoyed a sound slumber that.nisht, because 1 was anxious that morning should arrive, for I expected rare sport on the coming day.— The wished for morning came at last, and after dispatching a hasty breakfast and informing our comrades that we would return by sunset, we departed with our rifles on our shoulders.

For three hours we traveled in a south-

erlv direction from the camp, without see-

fully examining this curious spot, we at length discovered an opening in the walls just large enough to admit a man with ease. This was soon accomplished, and wc found ourselves in an apartment about nine feet square, with walls of solid rock. This wc thought would afford us the desired shelter, and we were just comfortably seated, when my companion hastily sprang to his feet, saying: "Be quiet I hear a rustling in the grass, which is propably caused by an elk or antelope. You stay heriJjy'and seizing his rifle, he stole cautiously down the ravine.

He was soon lost to view among the shrubbery which skirted the ravine, leaving me to meditate upon the noise we had just heard.

Then he commenced blocking the entrance of the cave with loose stones and fragments of rock that lay around. This awakened me to a sense of the danger we were in, as at that time the Pawnee Indians were hostile to the whites, butchering all who fell into their hands. To my enquiries of how many there were, he replied:

There were two, mounted on fleet horses, armed with rifles and bows and arrows, and most hideously painted."

Our enemies were probably aware of our place of refuge, for instead of coming up in front of the cavc they crcpt cautiously around to the sink, and stationed themselves out of reach of our rifles, but so as to command the entrance to our retreat. Their persons were out of our view, but by their shadows on the opposite wall wc could note all their motions.

They evidently thought there was

distant hills all was silent without, and I,

thinking the coast was clear, was about to pass out, when my companion pulled me back and in a whisper, said: 'Do not move now is our most dangerous time but I'll fool 'cm yet, damn 'em," and immediately placing his hat upon the mnzzle of his gun, he slowly moved it thro' the entrance. The Indians, who were on the lookout, perceivcd it, mistook it for his head, and fired two balls pierced the crown of the hat. Dropping it, we supposed the hidiaris Would show themselves: My companion,' seeing this scheme was about to fail, commenced making horrible groans as one in mortal agony. This the savages took to be a sure indication that their balls had taken effect, and giving a yell of triumph which demons might have envied, they rushed out in full view. "Fire!" said my companion, and the next moment the sharp report of our rifles rang through the cavern, while our enemies, ravins a simultaneous bound, fell with a crashing noise to the bottom of' the sink— each a corpse.

Placing the dead bodies in the cave, we mounted our enemies' horses, and were soon galloping into camp, to the gratification of our friends, who supposed we had fallen into the hands of the merciless Pawnees.

And now, though years have passed, and the manly form of Bill Johnson is laid in the silent grave, I respect the memory of him as a true friend and a brave man in time of peril.

I alighted at the door of the head bathingestablishment of Grand Cfciro. Behold me, now, in the vestibule of a genuine Eastern hummum. Two tall Numidian slaves assist me to disrobe, and in the place of my multiplied garments attire mc in apiece of loose cloth, buttoned just above the hips. Thus denuded, I am mounted on a pair of wooden clogs,.or pattens, about ten inches in bight. I am then supported on either side, while I make my way over the glassy marble, floor to a bathing saloon, number one. Here I am stretched upon a plank covered by a white cloth, and recline at an angle of forty-five. The room is then filled with vapor, and in about ten minutes lam perspiring profusely through every pore. I grow faint, the vapor is turned off, a few buckets of tepid water are thrown over me, a cup of coffee is administered, and a few whiffs at a chiboque. I am revived, and am straightway conducted into bathing saloon ntimber two.

Here sitting on the side of a marble reservoir of hot water, I am drenched with buckets of the scalding liquid. I am then laid down and scrubbed from head to foot with woollen gloves and a sort of fuller's earth. Then drenched again. I'm next submitted to the operation of peeling, a process which removes all accumulation of dirt and scurf from the surface which, in fact, seems to take off an outer skin. The

next stage is that of pumice stoning—applied to the inside of the hand, the soles of the feet and the heels, until all horny and hard parts are rubbed down to a delicate softness. Now comes a season of comparative leisure and repose. While I am on my back, the operator is cutting my finger and toe nails, and carefully extracting from every part of my body whatever is extraneous, unsightly, or inconvenient.

one of us: but they did not deem it prudent to make a bold attack in front, for by so doing, they would expose their persons to danger therefore they chose the less dangerous plan of compelling us to surrender, or shooting us if we attempted to escape. Thus, in a manner, we were in their power, unless by some stratagem we could manage to escape. But soon night set in and spread her mantle of darkness over the land, making our situation more dismal than before. My companion took his station at the entrance, ready to give the savages a warm reception if they should make an attack.

am next made to sit up, and in my sitting posture am shaved—the hairs are carefully pulled out of my nostrils—my ears are picked—my hair is cut—my whiskers and moustache arc trimmed, and my head is, at last, declared to be finished.— To these processes succeeds that of shampooing namely, molding the flesh, cracking the joints, and loosening every integument in every socket throughout the frame. Even, a lathering all over with a peculiar kind of agreeable emollient soap, and then, another drenching. The time is come now to be introduced into bathing saloon number three. The atmosphere of this is, after the temperature of the last, gratefully cool, and here I am permitted to immerse myself in a large cistern of moderately cold water. Oh! how refreshing and restoring, after the sweatings, rubbing?, scrubbings, scoldings, pullings, pinehings, kr.eadings, crackings, hair-tweaking, belatherings, and pumice stonings of Nos. 1 and 2.

I do so, and my tender and new-born infantlike skin, (as susceptible as the surface of a skinned ell,) is gently wiped down and enveloped in a sheet—then, mounted once more on my lofty pattens, and supported as at first, I am led back to the robing saloon, where, laid upon a mattrass, on the floor, with my head raised by a pillow, nr.d with

THE PRINTER.—The Printer is thus referred to by Hon. Ellis Lewis, of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court:

No class of society deserves more public consideration than the Printers. Ihey are the treasurers of the world they ore at the same time the munificent almoners of the Almighty. Thev receive contributions in arts and science and in all useful knowledge, from every quarter of the globe and from the most distant ages of antiquity. They distribute their treasures throughout the world and transmit them in a durable form to the remotest posterity. It is also distributed at so cheap a rate as to bring it within the reach of the humblest day laborer in the land. Nothing has tended so much as this general and cheap diffusion of knowledge to improve the condition of the masses—pto qualify the industsial class to take their proper position iff society, and to fit them not only for the profitable pursuit of their own occupations, but for any other employment to which their country may call them.
