RAILWAY NEWS.
Current Items in Bailroad Circles—Local and General.
H. L. Bushnell was in Chicago yesterday. The Vandalia moved 234 cars of coal on Wednesday.
President McKeen returned from Si. Louis yesterday morning. J, C. Lake, connected with the Midland at Decatur, was in the city yesterday.
The I. & St. L. depots all along the line are to be repainted, and placed in firstclass order.
Superintendent Frost has been out
on
the Midland several days past on an inspection lour. Col. R. W. Thompson, R. G. Hervey and Josephus Collett will leave for New York to-morrow.
The rum^-a concerning the "scoop" of the Midland by the Bee Line, are still flying around, but there ia notbiDg in it, just at present.
The St. Louis, Iron Mountain and Southern Railway Company pay $300,000 yearly for ties to the wood-choppers between Little Rock and Texarkana.
The Lake Shore, the Bee Line, and Indianapolis & St. Louis companies have withdrawn their quota of cars in the South Shore Line.' The two first named had 600 cars each in the lint* the I. & St. L. 250.
The length of rails used on crack English railways is thirty feet. Some of the reads use rails twenty-one or twentyfour feet long. The London and Northwestern Company contemplate using sixtyfoot rails.
The Erie lines now operating over the Pittsburg, Cincinnati & St. Louis .Road and the Vandalia, have 8,500 cars, 4,800 of which beloDg to the Erie & Pacific Dispatch, and it is proposed this year to increase this equipment 1,500 cars.
There is talk of changes among the I. & St. L. conductors. James .Cummings, in charge of the stock yards at St. Louis, and Charles Allen, of the" trainmaster's office, at Mattoon, will return to passenger trains, from which they were promoted, so says the rumor.
The change of time on the Panhandle will not occur until Sunday, the 22d, instead of next Sunday, as was announced yesterday. It is not probable that the Yendalia will put on the extra trains to meet the change, as thereby the expense will be doubled, without any immediate benefit.
Evansville Journal: The pay car on the E. & T. H. R. R, went north Tuesday morning, leaving here at 7 a. m., paying off the entire line, including the Owen3ville branch, returning at 6 p. m. the same day. A. quick trip. Auditor Effing, Superintendent Hepburn, Chief Clerk Samuels, and Roadmaster McCutcheon, were in charge of the pay car. This was the quickest business trip that has ever been made on the IS. & T. H. R. Conductor Jim Huffman and Engineer Payne were in charge of the pay train.
A. C. & E. I. ACCIDENT.
The C. & E. I. passenger train due here at 3:45, did not arrive until 9:80 yesterday morning. The delay was occasioned by a wreck on tbe Danville division, near Hoope8ton. An open switch threw the engine and baggage car off (he track, but beyond slight bruises received by the engineer, James Burns, no one was hurt.
ACCIDENT ON THE VANDALIA. At 1:14 yesterday afternoon a journal on a Panhandle car on west bound freight train No. 14 broke in a cut at Johnson'e branch, two miles weal of Reelsville, thereby causing five cars to be wrecked. The wreck being in a cut, the debris had to be entirely cleared up before the passenger trains could pass, thereby delaying them Beveral hours. The freight train was in charge of Conductor Cline. No blame attaches to the employe# for the accident. The cars wrecked were loaded with coke.
LOW RATES.
Indianapolis Journal: A general freight agent who spent last week in New York and returned on Tuesday, speaks rather discouragingly of the prospects that the trunk line war will be settled to the near future, He thinks the report thai.oome of the lines are making contracte on wesi hound business at a very low rate, six months ibead, is true, while east-bound rates, it is well known, were never moie demoralized than at the present time. .Lumber, as well as graifl and provision rates, are now slaughtered uC" mercifully.
By Associated Press. THE NORTHERN PACIFIC. NEW YORK, Jan. 12.—The Northern Pacific people here say in reference to the bills introduced in Congress effecting the land grant of the road, that the same tactics were resorted to at tbe last session of Congress, and tbey expect to see them repeated for two years to come. The feeling upon the part of the officers of the road is tbat Congress cannot possibly be brought to wrong the eight thousand stockholders who have put $40,000,000 into the enterprise on their faith in the Government's promise, by taking from them the land irrevocably granted but not yet technically earned, through which they are now constructing tbe road with tbe aid of 6even thousand men, and doing all in their power to finish it by September 1,1883. Ex-Secretary Schurs •ays if he was in efror in his decision concerning the land grant, that error was supported by the opinion of the Attorney General, wbo was consulted before the decision was made by Congress, which, during two sessions, permitted the decision to stand and to be acted upon by a majority of tbe House Committee on Pacific Railroads, which reported concurrence in it by the Department of Juetice, which recently gave an opinion affirming it, and by President Arthur, who ordered it to be further acted upon.
THE READINQ ELECTION.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa., January 12.—Toe polling of the Gowan proxies was resumed this morning. Bp 11 o'clock the thirtieth hundred was turned. At this time the list of names beginning with "V" had been completed, and W. H. Vander-
bilt's name passed without hearing from his proxies, Scbell and Worcester, who were in the hall at tbe tirutr, There does not appear to be much doubt in any quarter, however, that the Vanderbilt proxies will all be cast by the Gowan ticket at the proper time. At noon the calling of the Gowan list waa practically completed, and recess ordered until 2 p. m., when Gowan will probably have a few additional proxies and personal votes to offer. His connt was 21,939 shares. Adding this to the 165,726 with which his ticket cloeed last evening, gives the Gowan ticktt, thus far, over 187,000 votes. Out of this number 47,000 have been challenged by the McCalmont-Band counsel.
The feeling on Third street is that Gowan's 186,519 shares, exclusive of tbe ^Vanderbilt shares, and inclusive of the challenged stock, is not enough to elect him over Bond. It is the general impres sion that the Vanderbilt stock will not be cast on the losing fide. If Gowan can secure an indisputable majority, including the Vanderbilt proxies, they will be voted for him, otherwise they will not. The Gowan vote BO far polled is still considerably abort of the required figure.
Within fifteen minutes after the election was reopened at 2 o'clock Gowan had completed polling his list proxies, those voted after recess amounting in all to 397 shares, beginning the vote of the day. for the Gowan ticket to 22,336 shares, and the aggregate vote on the same side to a few shares beyond 188,000, about 47,000 of which have been challenged, namely on the ground thxt the voters have parted with the stock voted upon in their names. At 2:15 p. m, Kinsley, secretary of the Philadelphia & Reading Railroad company, elected last year with President Bond, took his seat at the judges' table and commenced the vote the proxies held for the Bond ticket. The first vote offered was that of A. Loutenbaeb, for 100 shares, and Gowan challenged the vote on the ground that Mr. Loutenbach dees not now own the stook. The vote was admitted, and exceptions taken by Gowan, in the form that was so frequently pursued by Bullett and Dale while the Gowan proxies were being voted. Up to 3:30 p. m. Kinsley had voted proxies for about 184,000 shares for the Bond ticket, and the following had been challenged: A. Lautenbach, 100 shares James A. Chase, 24 D. C. W. Smith & Co., 5,000 E. W. Clark & Co., 129 K. Jamison, 1,700. The McCalmont vo^p was as follows: Robert McCalmont, 232 share? Hugh McCalmont, 2,057 McCalmont Brothers & Co., 176,584. When the McCalmont Bros &Co.'s proxy was offered, Jas. E. Go wen filed with tbe judges a protest against the reception of the vote, on the ground that the stock for which the proxy was given was not held in the names for whom it was voted, and because generally the title was defective. The vote waa admitted, the challenge or protest being deposited with the ballot.
THE R0SE P0LYTECHNIC.
An Indianapolis Man Talks *witli Josephns Collett, Concerning the Rose Bequests.
"P. D. H.," an Indianapolis man, hss been talking with Josephus Collett, about the bequests of the late Chauncey Rose. The result is as follows, as published in the Journal: "For five or six years past nothing has been said, so far as I have observed, about the institutions in this city, which were provided for in the will of the late Chauncey Rose. The reason is, there was really nothing to be said. But now the situation is such as to bring the subject within the field ef journalistic news. For years tbe traveler on railroads coming into the city from the east has been attracted by a new and beautiful building on the borders of the town, which moved his curiosity to ask what it might be. The answer was the Rose Polytechnic Institute and that was all. There it has stood, imposing, silent, unoccupied, useless. It is to-dty the finest and beet college building in the State. In design, complete in finish, of choice workmanship in dimensions, ample. Years since I stood on the rostrum of its beautiful chapel, and in imagination heard the echoes of eophomoric oratory, and saw tbe gay pageantry of commencement day. But no student has ever yet mounted that rostrum trembling at the knees, nor any graduate marches grandly up to take the hardearned roll of sheeptkin, tied with a satin ribbon.
The main building as it stands comple.e has cost $81,000, Tbe heating apparatus, the shops for machine work and other appurtenancpa have swelled the amount already expended to over $100,000. Why has everything stopped and come to a standstill for so long? I asked a citizen of this city to day, and he said he guessed "tbey would never do anything more with the concern and he manifested about the average interest of the people here, so far as I have di covered, in this great undertaking. But I had the goad fortune to reach the fountainhead of information, the Hon. Josephus Collett, who is, with Mr. Niopert, executor of the Rose will and president of the board of directors of the Polytechnic. He readily explained the situation, and gave the facte, which are of jdeep interest, not to this locality only, but also to the whole State of Indians. First, as to the delay of Ktarting the school. The property left by Mr. Rose and bequeathed for noble purposes to this city consisted very largely of lots and real estate in various shapes which could not be made available without a sacrifice that would almost extinguish tbe value of the btquest. So tbe wise financiers waited while the funds were accumulating and till the property could be advantageously converted into cash. That time has come. The funds have been gotten together in valoablt form and will be ap plied as speedily as possible to their ceveral objects. There is now in the hands of the Polytechnic Institute and ready for application the large sum of $400,000. This includes money sufficient fo buy all experimental apparatus in science, tools for shops aud a full operative outfit without touching tbe original endowment fund on which the income depends for running expenses. Ii is the fixed purpose of tbe board to make this, as Mr. Collett expressed, the best school in the State of Indiana. The president, when seleced, will be a first-class man, qualified by learning and experience to tbe cooduct a school of science and mechanics such as this will be. The search for this important head of the ioatiiuiien h*s begun, and some parties not mentioned by name, have already been consulted. The faculty will be pelecteil with equal care, and every professor will be a master in his department. The school will be opened next October. Tuition will be free to all students resident in Vigo county, of others tuition fees will be required. Of course, a great scbol can not be bnilt in a day, no matter what money and facilities are provided. But in view of the vast demand for scientific and mechanical education, and of the enlightened, broadminded men composing this board, it is likely that this school will early take high rank among the best institutions of the land. Tbe Orphan A«ylum building will be started in the spring. The Board of Directors have on hand, now ready for use, to build and endow this institution, $300,000. For the Medical Dispensary to be established there is a fund of $75,000, which is also now consolidated and in hand ready to be applied according to tbe design of the testator. Thus, there is immediate and certain prospect tbat the beneficent plana of a great-souled citizen, of whom this city will ever be proud, are to be put into execution speedily.

Mrs. Sooville grows Hysterical Court Adjourns Without a Decision of the
and
Matter-
WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.—As soon as the court was called to order Davidge took a position in front of the jury ana epened the argument with a disclaimer of any intention to make a set speech, bat expressed simply a desire to render the jury what aid he could in their present solemn duty. The time had now come this trial when the jury were to become factors. Whatever disorder or levity might have characterized the trial there was but one sentiment in regard to the conduct of the jury. All commended their dignified deportment and close and patient attention to evidence, and he could not doubt that as they had received the commendation of all in the past they would continue to deserve it in the future by their decision of the question before them.
As Davidge traced the process of reasoning by which the prisoner* gradually reached the conviction that "But one life interposed between himself and possibly great benefits" Guiteau became restless, and for the first time since the opening of the court indicated by his nervous twitching about the usual preliminaries to a series of interruptions, which in this instance quickly followed. "Not often," said Davidge, ""in the record of heinous crime do we have such plain and pointed evidence as to. the first conception of the crime. In this case the suggestion came to the wretch in the night as he was lying in his bed."
It came to me when the Lord got ready to have it," snarled the prisoner. Davidge continued, "This thought or suggestion came to him on the 18th of May. Still thinking that he might obtain the office he sought and keep his hands clean, he made another effort on the 28tli of May to induce the President—"
Guiteau called out from the dock, I would not have taken a foreign mission after the 1st of June if it had been offered to me."
Davidge, apparently not heeding him, —"On the 28th of May,—" Guiteau—"I am talking about the 1st of June."
Davrdge, pausing a moment—"Just listen to him." Guiteau, sneeringly,—"They would listen to you but your talk is so weak it is hardly worth listening to."
For several minutes Guiteau continued to interject his comments with the evident intention'of annoying Davidge, but finding he could not effect this he gradually subsided into complete silence. "In the beginning,' said Davidge, 'it was sought to show that the prisoner was off his balance now tbe court tells you to loofetfor that degree of insanity that disables man from knowing that what he was doing was wrong. This is the test you are to apply upon the question of inspiration. I think I will be able to show to your satisfaction how little there is in this claim. The only question,' he said, 'was that of insanity." He then argued that the prisoner had that degree of intelligence, legal knowledge and moral sense which rendered him responsible for his acts. In a telling passage he showed that the prisoner himself had the wit to see the fatal weakness of Scoville's line of defence and repudiated it, arguing in his own behalf that he was no imbecile but a sane man whose intellect and will had been dominated during a special period of time, rendering him irresponsible for this particular crime. He then reviewed the circumstances of the crime and the victim and criminal. His analysis of Guiteau's character was graphic and effective. "It,' he exclaimed, I were to sum up the moral and intellectual qualities et tbat man I should say that he had the daring of a vulture, combined with the heart of a wolf." In speaking ot Guiteau's plan he remarked upon his greater fear of a mob than of the law, and exclaimed: "We must say to our shame that this estimate had a foundation. It rests," he added, "with the jury to show the world whether Guiteau's opinion waa well founded. If he had feared the laws as he feared the mob, our martyred head aad chief would be alive to-day."
At this point recess was taken. When court reassembled, Davidge took up in order the case of each member of the Guiteau family, upon whose mental condition evidence had been offered by the defense, and recited in connection the counter evidence of the propecution, summing up the force of this evidence with the remark: "But the unanswerable testimony of the experts settles the question of how much effect this collatroal insiniiy conld have upon the mental condition of the prisoner. It is but the merest mockery to di-cu-s this question in view of the uudoubted ability of this man to distinguish between right and wrong."
Guiteau interrupted at once,and shouted: "I have always been a Christian man, and for six years have been strictly virtu ou«. Don't forget that either.1'
Davidge continued "There is not a single fact, or a single jot or tittle to show that this prisoner was not perfectly responsible for his act on the 2d of July. The jury will find that the defense hav« carefully picked out and held up to view everything in the entire career of this man which may be considered r.dd or pe-. culiar, and it ia for you to consider how much value can be attached to thia evi dence when yon come to cm-dder whether this man did not know on the 2d of July Jtbat it was wrong for him to kill the Chief Magistrate of the Nation." Davidge then took up th« Oneida Community, and spoke of Guiteau's wallowing there lor six years.
Guiteau shouted: "And I say it ifi false. I didn't WAIIOW. I'm jmt as pur« as you are, Davidge, and a good deal purer. 1 went there to save mr soul, no from lust. Put that down, Davidge, and don't yon forget it."
Dtvidge discussed the evidence of Charles Reed, who conversed with- he prisoner tbe Tuesday before tbe shooting, and who thonght he appeared a "little off his balance," "and this, mark you," *aU Davidge, "is the extent of his evidence *s to that day. He was never asked if be thought he was naable to distingniah be twsen right aud wrong. Is it so very strange, gentlemen, that this prisoner should have appeared queer, when at tbat very time he was carrying in his breast thia monstrous crime? This witness, Raed
Guiteau—[interrupting—Yon'd better
let Reed alone, Davidge. He's a bad man for jou to tackle. Davidge continued: "This witness, Reed, again saw the prisoner at the jail, *s he rays, at tbe instance of Scoville. His evidence to that occasion is manufactured evidence.
Guiteau again interrupted, shouting in braggadocio tones, "You'd better look out, Reed is going to apeak to morrow. He may tear yon to pieces. He's had lots of experience in Chicago, handling snch fellows as you are, and he'* pent some of them lo the State prison."
Continuing, Davidge explained 1 hat in the use of the term be meant non flection on Reed, but it was an easy thing for the prisoner, after the act, to strike tbe wall and rioinlate insanity for the benefit of a gentleman who would shortly appear as a witness for the defence.
Guiteau—I never feigntd insanity. I never claimed to be insane after the second of July. I'm as sane as you are, Davidge, and a better man, too.
Davidge—Do you hear that, gentleman? Contrast that with what you have seen day after day in this court room.
As Davidge proceeded to disintegrate the evidence and argue iU worthlessness, Guiteau occasionally interrupted. Once he called out sarcastically: "Yondon't believe a word of that, Davidge. You're just talking that stuff for money."
Davidge continued to discuss the evidence, which he had arranged chronologically, and caused a ripple of amusement as he described Guiteau's career in Boston. "There is," he said, "in Boston, among other things (anl you must kcow all things are in Boaton if you do not know it, you have simply to visit Boston), a Temple, or building erected by the disciples or believers in the doctrines of the atheist Tom Paine." Davidge ascribed the peculiar conduct attributed to Guiteau when he lectured there to the fact that the company were out of accord with him, and their ridicule angered and disgusted him. But he [Davidge] ridiculed the idea that anything had been shown by this evidence to indicate insanity. Counsel dissected with startling perspicuity the testimony of one witness after another, and pointed out the weakness and unreliability of those opinions of the witnesses for the defense, wnich had been based in many instances upon the mout meagre acquaintance. Alluding to one witness, Daniels, of Virginia, who had neither been asked nor had expressed opinions as to the prisoner's sanity, Davidge
Batd:
Tbe hour of 3 o'clock having arrived, Judge Porter suggested an adjournment, which was assented to by counsel for the defence. An exciting discussion then ensued upon Judge Cox inquiring if counsel desired to say anything upon Guiteau's request to be heard. "I want," shouted Guiteau, "to make the closing speech. I wouldn't trust the conclusion of my case to the best lawyer in America."
The District Attorney, in a ringing speech, protested against Guiteau being again allowed to take a seat at the counsel table.
Applause from the audience, with shouts of Guiteau," and cries of "order" from the bailiff, made an. exciting scene for some minutes. Guiteau was finally heard shouting through the din: "Tbe American people will read my speech, and they are greater than this court. The people are trying this case. If you undertake to put on the gag law, the court in banc will right it. My speech will make eight columns, and it reads like an oration of Cicero. It will go
thundering down the ages, and don't you forget it "and as for you, Corkhill, President Arthur will soon dispose of you.''
Mrs. Scoville was deeply affected, and wept hysterically. Judge Cox finally told Scoville to read over the prisoner's speech and let the Court know in the morning if there was anything in it he desired to go before the jury. Without stating whetht-r he would permit the prisoner to speak or nor, Judge CJX ordered an adjournment.

Mr. Dean sat alono in her little kitchen. She never used her parlor. There was the extravagance of an extra fire to be considered—the fact that the best carpet most not be worn out too recklessly, the dread possibility of sunshine fading otlt these chair covers. Mrs. Dean was an economist. She believed in "lntjjng evex*ything last as "long as it possibly could. And so she made the kitchen her headquarters, and sat there knitting, with her feet comfortably balanced on the hearth, the kettle babbling softly away at the back.
She was a little, wrinkled-faced woman of fifty, with stiff ribbon bows to her cap, hair that seemed dried up instead of silvered, and keen blue eyes that twinkled, as if they had discovered the secret of perpetual motion. To save money was her chief end and aim in life. The very mittens she was knitting were to bo sold nt the village store in exchange for sugar, tea, spices, and all snoh necessary groceries. "A penny saved is as good as a penny earned," waa the golden rale by which she shaped her life. "I'm glad I took that money out of the savings bank yesterday," said Mrs. Dean to herself, as the bright needles clicked merrily away. •-People say it isn't quite safe, and one can!t be too carefuL But then, again, there's the danger of burglars—though to be snro no burglar," she added, with a complacent, Inward chuckle, "would ever think of looking in the folds of the old newspaper in the wall-pocket on tbe wall. It's the drawers, and tbe trunks, and the locked-np chests that they aim for. A hundred dollar note! a clean crisp, new hundred dollar note! And all savings, too, out of the housemoney."
Just then there sounded a knock at the door, and in came Dr. Bridgman, rubicund with the TOuch of tbe March windi "Good day, good day," said he. "No, thank you I can't sit down. I'm a deal too busy for that. But I heard yesterday that you took your money out of the savings bankP" "Yes," said Mrs. Dean, her face involuntarily hardening. "I did." I "We are getting up a subscription to
Sonkey,"
"In my opinion he was
their best witness, for I have infinitely more respect for a man who does not express an opinion than for those who are •o ready to express one with no data upon which to base it." "I've written my speech out,"called out Guiteau, "but I'm afraid it will be a month before I get a chance to deliver-it, judging by the way Davidge is going on."
et little lame Dick Bodley a cart and said the doctor. "It's pretty hard for anyone afflicted as he is to get along, and if you can help us a little "But I can't,"interposed Mrs. Dean, breathlessly. "The money was an investment. I don't propose to cut it up into little bits." "It's a deed of charity, Mrs. Dean," said the good old man, to help lame Dick Bodley." "I dare say," said Mr9. Dean, a little irritably. "But I never pretended to be a charitable character."-'
The old doctor went away, and the next visitor was Helen Hurst, a rosy •girl of eighteen. I "Excuse me for interrupting you, Mrs. Dean," said she, "but Larry Johnson was at the bank yesterday, 'and he tells me that yon drew out your monOT!" "Was all creation there?" thought
Mrs. Dean. But she said nothing, only knit away until her needles seemed to glance and glitter like points of fire. "Iam trying to get a lodging at Mrs. Smith's," added Helen, coloring, "so as to be near tbe school where I am to teach, but Mrs. Smith requires payment in advance, and unforlunately we have used up all our slender means in providing my outfit. A teacher, you know, must be dressed decently to command the respect of her pupils. But if you would kindly lend me twenty dollars "I never lend," said Mrs. Dean, curtly. "I will bo sure to pay it when I receive my first months' salary," pleaded Helen. "Aud I don't know of anyone else to go to." "It's altogether against my principles',said Mrs. Dean, with her face as hard as if it had been carved out of wood.
Helen Hurst crept out, feeling humiliated and dissappointed beyond all expression.
Mrs. Dean chuckled at her shrewdness but she hardly had time to tako her seat again before Mrs. Graham entered, with a little leather-covered momorandum book and pencil. "I am looking for charitable people, Mrs. Dean," said Mrs. Graham with a laugh. "Then you've come to tbe wrong place,"said Mrs. Dean, frigidly. "Poor Patrick O'Hara was killed yesterday, in the machinery of tho mill," said Mrs. Graham, ignoring her neighbor's response. "He lias left a wifo and eight children, totally destitute." "And whose fault is that?" said Mrs. Dean. "Will you not contribute something toward relieving their destitute condition?" urged Mrs. Graham, opening the book and holding tbe pencil ready for use. "Certainly not," Baid Mrs. Dean. •Tve no money to spare." "But I was cold—" "Ob, yes—about tho money tbat was drawn out of the savings-bank!" said Mrs. Dean. "But I intend to keep that money for myself, Mrs. Graham." "He that giveth to the poor, lendeth to the Lord," softly spoke Mrs. Graham. "Yes, yes—I know!" said Mrs. Dean. •'But nobody interprets the Biblo literally, nowadays."
Mrs. Graham took her departure, acknowledging within herself that her errand was a failure and Mrs. Dean, left to herself atlast, indulged in a nap, with the knitting-work in her lap—a nap wherein she dreamed that the hundred dollar note had taken to itself leg3 and was running away from a crowd of pursuers, herself among tbe number.
When she woke np, a candle was burning, and Mr. Dean was laughing at her. "Why, Betsy," said he, "I thought vou never were going to wake again! here you sat, wilh the fire dead out, and I've had to kindle it up again." "Bless me!" said Mrs. Dean, "I must have been asleep quite awhile. But," —as she started up she saw tbat the old wall-pocket opposite waa emptv— "where is that old number of

erltfsr "It was last week's paper," said Mr. Dean, calmly. "We had both of us read it, so 1 just took it to kindle the fire." "Yon burned it up?" '•Yes,'' said Mr. Dean "I burned it np. Why shouldn't I?"
For half-and-hour later, Mrs. Dean sat silent and never spoke a word. And her first utterance was— "It's a judgment upon me.
Mrs. Dean was a resolute woman.full of character. She went to her tabledrawer, took out a sheet of paper, and wrote to Dr. Bridgman, enclosing two dollars toward Lame Dick BodJey's

ril let you make your home here as long as you please. There's a nice spare room, and it's a quarter of a mile nearer than Mrs. Smith's to the school." "Oh, how very good you areP' said Helen, with her eyes swimming with grateful tears. "Good!" cried Mrs. Dean. "I'm just beginning to see what a selfish, greedy creature Tve been all my life. Bat you're welcome, my dear, and jour board shall not cost you a penny."
She opened her parlor, shook out the curtains and lit afire in the grate. "Dean likes the parlor," said she, "because it has such nice south windows, and I don't see why we shouldn't enjoy it" "I can't be very liberal," she said "but I am determined to do what I can." "That's right,my dear—that's right," said her husband. *'We shall be prosperous, never fear. I'm awfully sorry about burning np your savings, bat if it's going to open your heart like this, it's the best thing tbat could have happened to us."
Mrs. Dean was sweeping out the kitchen. She looked round with a smile, as she moved the wide-leaved table, which always stood under the wall-pocket, and took down the pocket itself, to dust it oat ••Yes," she said," "I am afraid I was getting to be a little miserly, and—Why, what's this?"
Mr. Dean stooped and picked up a slip of stiff, crackling paper, which had fallen out from the wall-pocket as his wife turned it upside down and tapped her finger against it to remove all possible dust. •'It's the bank-note!" said he, with mouth and eyes opening in unison. "It must have slipped down from the folds of the newspaper, and lodged here." "The Lord has sent it back to us." said Mrs. Dean, reverently, "and He has sent a lesson, wise and merciful, with it" "Well," said Mr. Dean, after a momentor two of silence, "there is a lesson in almost evetything He does, If we did bat know it."
And all the theologians in the world could not have improved upou the faith of this simple, unlettered old farmer.

at Yorktown.
The personal bravery of Lafayette is fitly illustrated in
the
following extract
from a forthcoming publication by the Rev. A. B. Muzzey, of Cambridge: "In the great struggle at Yorktown in the early part of October, 1781, the British were left masters of no external works except t^ro large redoubts these Washington determined to take. Lafayette, at the head of the American Light Infantiy, was ordered to attack the redoubt on the left of the besieged troops. He thought nothing but a bold and rapid onset would enable young soldiers like his to carry intrenchments defended by disciplined troops. He ordered the whole of his division at the word of command to fire, and formed his men in solid column. He then headed them himself, charged sword in hand through the monnd, in the face of the enemy's fire, forced his way into the redoubt, and in a few minutes carried it with the loss of only a handful of men. After a five days' contest, in which it is said Washington fired the first gun himself, CornwaSis on the 17th of October demanded a parley, and on tho 19th surrendered his army, and in resence of Generals Rochanibeau and afayette his sword was delivered to Washington. It is a singular coincidence that in 1824, forty-three years after this battle, Lafayette came to Yorktown, and stopped at tbe very house then occupied by Cornwallis, and the rooms were lighted by a remnant of the wax candles once used by him."
A New Disinfectant
Tho new disinfectant which has come into such considerable use in Kngland, on account of its proved efficacy, is prepared as follows: Russian turpentine and water are placed in huge earthenware jars, surrounded by hot water air is driven through the mixture in the jars continually for 300 hours, the result of this being a decomposition of the turpentine and the formation of a peculiar watery solution. After evaporation, the substance is placed in tin cans it is described as being a light brown powder, of a very pleasant taste and odor, is not poisonous nor damaging in any respect, and is capable in a very remarkable degree of preventing or arresting pntrefacting changes.

And you will learn what on this day your loving son befell. And others, wbo want to learn also, must "search the Scriptures."
Irving'8 Home.
Washington Irving's home of Sunnyside remains within and without just as he left it The house is small, but snug and commodious, and his study is a very agreeable room with the morning sun upon it. When he settled there the situation was delightfully quiet and secluded, but to-day the triple track of railroad, just below the bluff on which the cottage is perched, involves considerable noise of traffic, and, what is worse, screaming of steam whistles. The place, whicli is in very nice order, is tenanted in summer by the two maiden daughters of his brother.
A "Magazin de Confections," in Paris, had employed one of those human sign-boards, a perambulating advertisement but at the end of a month, deriving ho advantage from the experiment the proprietor sent a clerk to watch his man, and discovered that the latter passed the whole day in that sandy solitude, the Esplanade des Invalides.
