The Fowfrful Influence of Lienor Ott fome Men of Note. Heroe Wh Wre Unable to Conquer Ihcir Appetite for Drink. Cleveland Leader, j The history of the numeroas yictimi of intemperance, pr fur tba matter intemperance itself, is the mcst melancholy of all historie, and also one cf the most impoitant, involving aa it tlaes, not only individual successes) and failares, bit the successes and failures of cations as well. "Every page ia charged with warn irig ; every chapter reveals the folly of the world, ad trie world's great men and rulers, and proves it true that the "wine and wassail bave taken more strong daces than gan or hit el." Intempemace is habit and nothing bat habit, and a habit, too, against which rature seriously revolts at Irst, bat to which she in the coarse of time cd opposition aabmits, and of which aha Snally becomes fond. It ia only by this orce of habit that the taste of wine, of opium, of enaf?", and of tobacco becomes pleasant, for those are not among the real wants of nature, bat are purely artificial. Habitual and long-continned use of i a toxica ting drinks gains an irresistible intfeeace over both the mental and physical powers, the mora! qualities become weak or blunted, the mind languid, and all the physical conatuatioa cnauged and impaired, and instead of the harmony that nature intended to have with tuaa there is continual strife with the tyrannical fiend, appetite, for, Bays he who knew man passing well: Boundless Intemperance Ia nature is a tyranny; it hath been The untimely endin of the happy throne Aad (ail ot many kings. Notwithstanding the well-known evil effects of indulgence in the rise cf inebriating drinks, the habit is one of the most enslaving, exercising a peculiar fascination over the mind aainst which the keenest consciousness of the wrong and of the temporal and epiritaal consequences have not the slightest influence. .Most of us believe that any habit can be conquered, but there are r stances which overthrow any Buch theory; -tacces where loss of character, friends, . l wealth, and the great physical and menoi anguish count as nothing, if only wiae rav be bad. Dr. Cheyne, a celebratsd physIciaa of Dablin, tells a story of a man of Iiis acquaintance, cultha'el, popular and wealthy, who bad contracted the habit of iniemperacce. Every erfort was made to reclaim him in vain. His friends implored him to abandon the vice, and regain his moral influence and health. In answer to tbem he tic ally said: "I am convinced that all yoa fay is only too true, bat I can not resist. If a bottle of brandy stood at one hand, and the pit of hell yawned on the other, and I knew ttat if I took but a swallow of the bracdy I should be pushed in, I should drink it. You are all very kind. I should be grateful lor so many kind, good friends, but yoa nay srare joarselves the trouble cf tryins: to reform me tbe thing ia impossible." I onysius tbe younger ia another instance of tiiiaiLfaisation. Aristclesajs he woald be fcr ninety ray at a time in a state of intoxication, acd the frequent recurrence of that habit depiived him in time of his eyesigh. The Eonperor Zjoo wai in the hab t 01 drinking bin; Bell into an insensible condition, and wh-n in that condition one day, his queen. Ariane, had him taken to a tomb, tbe borrcra of which he fully realized when efter 53ie hcura Li3 sense returned to blrn. But Lis p'ea-Jis&s and cries were not needr. H d'ed an agonizing death, hated by tU wif- and people. H was indeed a victim tf iüitmperance. Winceslaus, kin? of Eoberuia, when he went to Ilheims in order 10 treat with Cnarles VI on some imporant rational questions, was so under the infatuating influence of the wines of that country that he rrade concessions alike disastrous to him39. f and his kingdom. A certain monarch of Africa resigned all right to the throne rather than leave the Portugese colonies where the wine waa so pleasant to him and his opportunities to drink so favorable, Cjaeen Eliza, beth'a celebrated opponent, Thane O'Neilalways kept at lease two hundred tuns of wine in his cellar at Dandratn, and he drank of it it so immoderately that his servants were obliged to bary him chin-deep in the ground in order to allay the strange inflammatory effect hia excess had upoa him. Babylon was the mightiest nation on earth until she became a slave to laxnryand dissiIiation. Ber active and warlike habita were aid aside for thore of sensual indulgence, and soon her name had become a reproach. Said Jeremiah: "The mighty men of Babyion have forborne to fight; they remained in their holds; their might hath failed; they became as women." , Cyrus was the avenging Nemejia for outraged nature. While Belsbazzer was engaged in one of his luxurious feasts, Cyras, whose plans were male in the knowledge of Bel3hazzer's Libita, entered the city, surprifei the people and slew the king and hia companions and the great empire of Babylon passed in .0 Lis possession. Cyrus was the founder of the iledo I'ersian eaipire. At first he possessed a cocntry containing only ICO CCO inhabitants, b..t by his temperate acd warlike habits he soon made it almost hour dless in extent and unrivaled in power. But his victories in their tarn in trod need to his people the same habits of luxury and f erunality that had made other nations fall so easy a rrey to his coursge and military tactics. Luxurious habits are necessarily the bane to national prosperity, and after the union of th Medes and Persians and the fall of Babylon and its pssession by Cvrns, corruption siezed upon tbe Pers' is. They becnie intemperate and Sem inate, and when the Macedonian kir marched against them they fell, a- did Babj Icn. The Mcdoi.ians were warlike, and ander Philip and Alexander snccesffal ia all their enterprises. A'exander is esteemed a graatar man and general than Philip, but PhiliD was what would be called in this age ä shrewd politician, and with hi superior executive ability, aaperior discipline, and wonderful commard over men he might have excelled hia ion in grratnea but for the habit of intemperance. Philip ti rally fell by the hand of an assissiD, the victim, although indirectly, of intemperance. Alexander, justly called "tKe great," early fell a victim to hia love for drink In the beginning of his remarkable career be waa temperate in all hia habits. Ova when the Qaeen of Caria sent him some rnoice and samptaou dishes ot -'ood, togeiber with some of her best cooks and bakets. be said: "I do not need them; 2 am supplied with better cooks by Leonidas a march before day to dress my dinner and a light dinner to prepare ray supper." Plutarch defends him against tbe charge of exceiv 'irinking. He savs be was not 89 much given to it a was said; that, although he .-sat long at the table, it was more to talk than to drink. "Every cup contained some icrg d gcourse," and be cites as an instance o! bs contempt for luxury and luxurious hsbita h:s surprise when, after he had conquered Darius, he examined the tent Daria? occupied, and Baid: "I am surprised that -such e'.Teminacy ehonld occupy the attention of a king." Uad Persian luxury never corrupted Alexander, he wonld have remained ucequaled in a'l the attributes ttat make a man great. Later on Plutarch admitted that he became grossly disipated. His entrance into Carmenia waa a mere bacchanalian celebration. His visit tt Persia and his conduct near the tomb of Cyrau difclcse one of tbe most degrading scenes of hia life. He offered valuable prize to these who drank to excess, and one man named Proroachua the winner of the chief fsrize, drank four congli (fourteen quarts, .ogüah measure) of pure unmixed wine, dying from the efiects in three days after. Thirty men in their efforts to win prizes died

on the spot, and 997a af ter b& mors feU Tic-1

tims to drink. Plutarch, on the authority cf Char os, eays tbat forty-one parsons died from excessive drink and the seveTe cold neather. Alexander's habits caused his death. At a wild carousal, gotten up by Medes, he crank all day and n?gat, consuming foarteea quarts of w'ne in drinking to the health of Proteas. This brought on a fever, frsm wbicb he died. Sereca says cf him: "This heio, invincible by all the tails of prcJigious march s by all the dangers of sieges and combat, by the most violent extremes of beat and cold, lies conquered by his intemperance." Tbe Ihracians and Scythians were notorious for their intemperance. Both, but more especially the Scythiaca, were celebrated for moderation and strength in the early part ot their history, but in the latter part they weie known as bard drinkers. After Cleomenes. Prince of Spart a, visited the Scythians bis conn try men said that his communication with the ßcjthians had made him a drinker of wine, and the wine had made him mad, When persons wished to drink to excess." eavs Herodotaa, "they aaid: 'Let us drink like Bcythiacs ' Both Thracians and Scythians considered themselves happy only when tilled with unmixed wine, and they even poured it on their garments. The lhracian way of drinking and the Scythian way of actiDg are simply to drink quantities of pure wine, and act like a mania: or a fco!. The history of the Thracians contains the story of the vile treachery of r.hescuooris, and bis murder of his nephew Cotys.wha aseuredly fell a victim to the "Thracian way cf drinking," and to the "Scythian way of acting." The history of the Gauls is full of instants r t the effec'is cf indulgence in strong drink. Under Brennus the Gaula invaded the Roman empire and took the capital, bat they diank so freely of tbe wine that they lost their precaution, and Camillas, the Iionaa hero, living in retirement at Ardea, resolved to save the city, and, knowing their condition surprised them and pat them to flight. The Germans have always been noted for immoderate indulgence in strong drink. Naturally they were religious, and warlike, and success was theirs on nearly ail occasions until their Intemperance reversed ths wheel of fcrtune. Germaincns won his victories over the Marsi a German people because of their intemperance. Of the Germans Tacitus says: "Indulge their love of liquor to the excess they require, and jen need not employ the terror of your arms; their off a will eubdue them." Their customs were similar to these of the Persians Travelers at various times have noticed the habit of drinkirg in Germany, and the duke of Rohan says that they seem to have discovered perpetual motion in the use of the wine cap. Victory and success, opening new sources of we- ltb, have, from earliest time, inaugurated cfiemina'e and luxurious habits. The (iieks and Kornaus acquirad the dangerous hübits nf luxury aad iadalgencs in wines frcro 1hi Persians. These became so alarmirg tbat the Kornau senate enacted sumptuary laws to restrain them, but the patrician c!atejdiircaried them, aod, the coainaon people them', the law became in a short time "c"ead letters," and from that time to this no law has been strong enough to put down or niederste perceptibly tie terrible evil of inUmperance. It is eaid that in times of scari tj of wine in Rome riots and sedition s we'e cf frequent occurence. Not en ancient nation can be mentioned that vu not the victim of intemperance. The Carthaginians, the Lydiens, the B?zsntitcMhe Pariliiana, the people ef Tarentam, the Babylonians and Assyrians, tbe Medea r.d Persians, the Greeks acd Romans, all drink to eicea aad ft 11 victims to their own vices. Tbe arcient Britons, a race of savages, are tut posed to tave been frugal and temperate, bot from nsirg the drees and language of the R mans then, by degrees, imitated and adopted the vices and luxuries. Dy the time of the Norman conquest they had become so corrupt that scon the vigorous and warlike Normans fell under the spell and adopted tbe habits one by one. The disastrous riots and seditions caused by drink in England in the eighteenth century were 80 appalling tbat parliament was petitioned for restric tive measures with the usual natural result, for Intemperance can not be cured by laws. In 173t signs were posted in various places In London, reading: "Drunk for a penny, dead drunk for twopence, and clean straw for nothing." It was the custom to treat the clergy and for the clergy to treat themselves. An old "expense-book'" preserved in London contains a bill for a treat with the deacon of Dunham, 3 shillings 4 pence," and for a preacher named Bell, 1 shilling! pence, which is pretty good evidence that the higher one went in the church the more be could drink. The London Temperance Intelligence published some years ago a charge fcr wines used by a small parish in London. It bears the date of 1CJ1 or 1G'J2, and is as follows:

Wine for vestry Wine for communion. ..-..Sl 110 Aa to the effects of intemperance on the moral and intellectuol powers, history ia voluminous and furnishes numerous examples. In ancient times Cambyses; Philopater, fourth king of Egypt, called Zapeur, because of his extravagance and debauchery; Prusia, king of Bythnia (H'J B. C ); Tiberius, derisively nicknamed Biherlus; Nero Claudius; Sylla, tyrannical and ambitious; Maximinns, ferocious and pitiless, and indeed nearly all tbe raleis of the old world, way into modern times, until the reformation, prove beyond doubt the brutalizing e feet of immoderate drink on the feelings and its destruction of all natural feeling. While admitting that wines are only injniions in the abase, not in the right use of them, it is none the less true that the misery of every city is proportionate to the number of saloons. The French boast of the few instances in their country of drunkenness, and yet "they drink regularly." If it is true, it must be because tbey, better than any others, know how to manage and conceal vl.es, 8ir.ee all history proves that in a natiotal point of view, in the effect on mind and morals, on religion, and the physical condition of man, intemprance has most nniallirg and disastrous effect. In this age when civilization has so far advanced that men are unceasingly seeking for variety and exciten ent, we can only look with horror upon tbe adoption of so many luxurious habits ard wonder if tbe history ot intemperance, like all other history, will repeat itself. A FAStOl'j FAMILY. Interesting Facts Becalled by the Death ot George Washington Boweo, the Alleged 8on of Mme. Jamel. (New York World.l George Washington Bowen, the famous clamant of the Jnmel estate, died at Providence, February G, at the age of ninety-one years. The ground upon which he rested his claim was that he was the natural son of Mme. Jnmel, widow of S:ephen Jamel, a wealthy Frenchman whom sbe married in 18CJ. The etory of his litigation was exceedingly romantic. It was the last of ti e n any tuits brought for the purpose of setting possesion of the Jnmel pioperty. Fowen was then seventy seven years old. and a hearty, well preserved, white-haired man. This was in 1872. The case was tried in the United States Court in this city, before Judro Shipman, and was directed against Nelson Chase, the holder of the estate, who had married a natural daughter of Mme. JumeL Eminent counsel were employed on both sides, Charles O'Conor and James C. Carter appearing for Mr. Chase and William A. Beach, ex-Sarrogate Tucker, Cbauncey Shaffer, Levi 8. Chstfield and F. G. McDonald for Jhe claimant. The action was for ejectment, brought originally in a fctate court under the statute allowing maternal children to inherit from tbeir mothers real and personal property. Several millions of dollars were involved in the suit. Eliza Bowen Jamel, whom Bowen claimed waa his mother, was born in Providence about 1775 and died in her famous mansion at Harlem Heights, N. YM July 16, 13Q5, aged ninety years. After tier death, lis

Chase, a lawyer, ef this city, who had lived in her house, bat was not a relative, closed the house and refuted admission to certain persona claiming to be nephews and nieces of Mme. Jamel, and made himself legatee, without an apparent shadow of legal rights. The plaintiff, Bowen, claimed that he was her only child, born ten years before her marriage tn Providence, when she was known as Eliza or "Betsey" Bowen, and he heUeved that an old revolutionary oalcsr, Ma;,or Reuben Ballou, was bis father. At the trial, connsel said that about 1758 a girl named Pbu be Kelly was born in Taunton or Cumberland, P.. I., and that when a child she came to Providence. She stated that she bad become the mother of a boy when she herself was only twelva years old. To years later Phoebe Kelly married a seafaring man named John Bowen. John and Phoobe Bowen were the parents cf Mme. Jamel, the remarkable woman whose history could not be traced. She was doubtless born in a novel and reared among vagrants, yet she lived to enjoy wealth and splendor and died in a palace. J Lere was another girl three years older than Betsey, lismed Folly, and after John Bowen's death a third cirl waa born called La vina. While John Bowen was away at sea a mob in Providence tore down an old buiidirjg. and among tee white and black females found huddlod together within its walls were Tbo be Bowen and her daughter Betsey. The latter was sent to the workhouse. In 1780 Betsey's father was drowned, and in 178'J Betsey came to this city. The widow roairied Jot a than Clark, a shoemaker, from Boston. At this tini Betsey was only fifteen years of age. The next year Betsey found shelter with Reuben and Freelove Bal'oa, the same woman who had adopted tifr sitter. Jonathan and Pho bedded before Betsey Bcwen married Stephen Jamel. During the Revolutionary War r.alloa'a first wife, Cbloe, died, leavicg several children. Freelove and Phube were eitherhalf Bisten or cou3ins, and were alike in character, each having had a child before marriage. Reubtn Ballon makes this entrv with hia on handln the family bible: "Onthe'Jth of October. 1794, at his house in the town of Providence, Gecrge Washington Ballon wa3 born of Betsey Bowen." " Reuben Ballon was probably the plaintiffs father, though Betsey had been in the city before the plaintiiTa birth. Reuben took the boy, and his wife Freelove reared him. Subsequently Betsey left Providence and appeared in New York in 1S0L Many scandalous slories have be;n told t Lout her. And she herself spoke of General Washington 83 having been enamored of her. ßhe hinted at favors received from I.cnis XVII L daring her residence in France, and told cf love passages with the ei-Kinc Joseph Bonaparte. It was even said that General Washington waa the plaintiiTa father, but counsel in tbe suit claimed no such distinguished pedigree. At lire came time he said taat Mme. Jumil C?hSC7e used language in admiration of Ws3teJgton warm enough to be translated in any way. At this time Miss Bowen was living In New Ycrk with Reuben Ballon. Polly and John Bowen were dead. Ltvina and George Washinetcn Bowen were living with Freelove in Providence. Betsy lived with a eea captain at the corner of Pearl and Whitebail streets. At hia death she lived with Jurael, and in 1S04, by a trick, Bhe induced him lo rrarry her. After Betsey's marriage, the abandoned her iittle boy George to Freelove Ballon, and, tliccgh sbe r:a3 Jumcl's wif ttrenty-eisht years, roncsel believed that he died in ignorai ce of the existence of the plaintiff. Jnmel wes Immensely wealthy, and at this time his wife shone brilliantly in the old aristocracy of New York, while her abandoned child was left to etiule with poverty in Providence. To acknowledge him would bare brought disgrace on herself and probably have led to a separation from her husband. Bowen, who died recently,counel claimed, ho:e this stigma with patiencs all his life. When his mother died he did not know that he could inherit, and only brought the suit after learning cf the legislation a'lowing natural children to inherit Nelson Chase, the defendant in the suit, married Mary Bowne. the natural child of her mcst intimate friend. Maria Bowne, and whom she cared for in Otsego County. Ic May, 1S32, Stephen Jnmel died, and Mr. Chase and his wife established themselves in the house of Mme. Jumel, where they lived cn her bounty. Chase guarded and isolated the old woman from the world. She drove him out of the house often, but he as often returned, and remained until her death. The only will that Mme. Jumel left was set aeide by the court, though she went to ber grave believing that she hai outwitted Chsse. After her death, Chase obtained two feeds from tbe legitimate children of Maria Jenes, whom, he claimed, was Mme Jamel'a auter. It waa afterward charged that Chase deceived and defrauded the Joneses. The trial resulted in a complete breakdown of the arrangement between the lawyers. The payment made by Chase was $3S,000,and the w ll was broken. In 1SG7 several persons named Bowen, of Rhode Island and Connecticut (another Bowen family), sued to recover the property, but were beaten in court Subsequently tbe French heirs of Jumel tried their luck in the courts, but failed to get anything. In the year in which George Washington Bowen married, Mme. Jnmel went to Europe, and he lost sight of her for at least a quarter of a century. He first saw his mother to know her at Saratoga, She was a very old woman, making an absurd parade of herself, and an occurrence then covered her with ridicule and drove her away. Oa account of her character and for other personal reasons Bowen did not make the attempt to recover the property until after her death. An old maid in Nashville, Tenn., ia the (CEsessor ot a men key which chews tobacco and a parrot which swears. She says that between them she dots not miss a husband much.

POKER SEIABPS AT SEA.

Fletcing Unsophisticated Traveler on ;th Ocean Steamships. Sew York Sun A recent London cablegram in the Sua eaid there was a revival of the outcry against gambling on the Atlantic steamships, and many letters had been published giving instances of passengers being fleeced by cardsharps. It was also conjectured that same of the professional gamblers, having beei starved out of this city, were ply irg their vocation on the steamers. These travilln j sharpers are sometimes called ocean traup. They are not confined to the male sex, and were crossing and recrossing the Atlantic before the poker sharps and the brace gaoablera were driven out of their favorite dens cp town by the pc lice. Two of these sharkers are slender, bright eyed girls, who are familiar to cc-an travelers in the sumnaer Be axon. Not long ago the writer saw them on bond a fast steamer fcr one cf tieir periodical round trips, aad they appeared very pleasant to the eye. They were simply yet richly dretsed in Becoming traveling suits. One of them had an allijiabr tourist's bag slung over her shoulder, aad the other, with ebual grece ana arebnesa, carried a pa r of marine glasses. Thesxall, snug gray hat tbat surmounted their pretty heads of neatly done-up hair, tneir close fitting jackets end strong yet shapely shoes all bespoke experienced travelers, h s they stood at the steamer's rail watching the busy, jostling crowd they were the cynosure of all eyes. Ttey were not unattended. Looming up in the backeroond with a bland face waa the male guardian of the pretty pair. As the ycurger men who were going to be their fellow passer gers eyed them with ill-concealed admiration the gray-mustached chaperons frowned in a manner that was discouraging to the most audacious. As the reporter gazed at the picture he was startled by feeling a huge red band upoa his etoulder, and hearing a volca in hi ear that tounded as if it came from the depths Of tbe sea. It said: 'Well, eld man." TmniDg around, the reporter saw the rotund form of the ioliy chief o Hie er of yie Etearcer, the flagship of the line. 'What, are you looking at those girls, eh!" "Yes. I wonder who they are English girls going heme with papa after doing the States, I suppose; or, my be, they're Bo ton belles abandoning their crude and barbarous native land. They're pretty girls, anyhow, aid I feel jealous already of that gaunt, round-ehouldered dude who is making up to tbe fair-haired one in spite cf her father's scowl." Th? jolly efficer burst into a peal of laughter, which reached tbe ear3 of the beauties at the jaiL They turned, look d at him, criaissired with resentment asd haughtily left tne rail to go below or gst out cf the way of the c ilicer'a eyes. English swells or Boston belles, eh? That's ycur reckoning of it, is It?'' lauihed the jolly tar. "Why, my dear fellow, yca're all elf. Those are the three cleverest swindlers tbat work tbe herriDg pond. I presume you've heard of the card sharps and coufidence operatops who spend the. r time during the eumrrer months btttreen New York and Liverpool fleecing their fellow passengers. Well, that's the slickest trio in the business. I've bad 'em twice on this ship, and on the tccond voyage they got so dep into the Kcketacf Uo yourg Engli-hmen western bound that the skipper roi 'thwart of their hawee and confined them to their etateroom for tbe rest cf tne passage. You see, they book as a father and tnro daughters, arid aa soon aa tbe ship's in bine water thev begin to throw out signals. First one and then another greenhorn runs alongside and and makes fact. Then tbey sound hinx. If te is clever or on short aUowance they shear off and let him alone. Bat if he's whit yoa Yankees call well fixed, they make fa?t to him, first with him, drink Qz: aid brandy and soda with him, srncka curettes with him, and in due time play poker or nap, or baccarat with him. The poor dupe thinks they are too, awfully nic9 for anything. All the other lady passengers are below, or oft the wind, and he thinks it a charming American characteristic, this freedom and audacity and good fellowship. The cover that's tbe old fcharp he rcakes a pretense of shortening sail once in a while, bat it's only a blink, my boy. Then tbe fint thing you know, just aa yoa make tbe Ughtehip, Mr. Greenhorn is cleaned out of every shilling, and may have chucked in half a dczen checks or promissory notea besides. "They're the hardest c.'ais of frauds to teckle, because no skipper likes to run afoul of lady passengers. Suppose he should make a mistake and order a young lady whose worst fault is that she is a'littie gay, to keep to her stateroom, as be can, under British law ? Why, she might make it as hot as old Hsny for the company; for such an action would be false imprisonment of the worst kiid. "My o!d rran took his chanc;p, though, and the damsels will give our line a wide berth when they are operating in future. Some of the agents have blacklisted a lot of the most noted of there rozuea, but new ones aprear every now and then, and as lcn? as there are geese there will be foxes. It seems almost impossible to keen the poker sharps off the ocean steamers, but we do oar best to keep oar patrons from being swindled, even at the risk of tabooing the wrong person." A TBRILIJNO KXPERIESCE. htrcggling to Keep Awake When Sleep cant Destruction, ran Francisco Call.) "Yes, we operatora tometimea have straig9 xr.eiieiKea, eaid the yoang looking, waitehaired telegrapher, replying to aa interrogatory of the Call representative. "By alt od is tbe mcst thrilling incident that ever came within my own experience," be continued, musingly, "occurred one night about twelve years ago. I wea then a young op9rator on the Northern Pacific Railroad, at a small elation in Eastern Minnesota called Klmberiy. I waa doing the r ight work from 7 p. m. to 7 a. m., andbemg of a aocial disposition, med to Bleep only when there waa nothing of iaterest going on. Klmberiy wes quite a resort for picnics, beine situated on the edge of one of thoee beäutif al lakes for which Minnesota is famed, and on the day referred to I had been out with a party of yoang folks, and by night was thoroughly tired out There was no possible escape from work, though, and I had to report for duty as usual. Well, I straggled along an til a Sout 3 o'clock, when I was "aroused from a li;ht dcz9 by the ticking ot my instrument I dragged myself over to wheie it stood and received the following dispatch: 'To Operator Klmberiy: Hold all westbeard trains. Bridge No t washed away.1 "Bridge No. G waa severa' miles west of my station, and spanned a small stream in which legs were Seated down from the pineries. I had heard tbat day of a big 'ism' near there, and cow I realized tbat it had broken and swept the bridge away. The section men bad leported it to the next station west of me and my order waa the result Still, I was in that somnolent state when nothing seems of immediate importance, end after merhspicaliy lighting my signal lantern, laid down again on the table from which I had ruen, -neglecting to hang the lantern out I don't know how long I bad slept, when I was suddenly conscious that a train was nearing the station: at the same time being nnable to move or awaken myself. I knew that I was asleep, realized the necessity of stopping the train and tbat it would not stop at Klmberiy if no signal was displayed. Yet I was powerless to save them from the inevitable de s traction which awaited them if they were not earned of the carrying away of the bridge. I shall never forest the agony those thonghts broueht me. I straggled to break the chains of sleep which held me. The effort was accompanied by a most peculiar sanction. I can only compare it with the action of a watch spring which has been drawn to Its utmcst tension and then let go. You know hew it will buzz for a few momeata as it unwinds itself. That ia exactly the way my brain whirled as I sank back exhausted after each effort I felt the train draw nearer and nearer. It was like ths approach

cf fate. If it passed I was- a murderer. Again and aeain I struggled, with the same result; I could not wake. It must have been but a few moments, yet I eodured what seemed hours of torture. I think ths jar and rumble of tbe train as it aped by mast have awakened me. I jumped to my feet seized the lantern, which was still burning bf side my chair, and dashed out through tte open window. Tne rear coaci waa jant passiDg the west end of the platform. I screamed acd in my frenzy rushel after the departing train. The colas aad speed rrocked me. P.f collecting myself, I swung my lsntera across the track the nTjl signal ofidaneer. There was no one in sight. Just as the train Bwept around a curve a brakeman appe aredon the rear platform. A moment later I heard what I have always considered the mcst welcome round that ever reacted my ears a shriek from the engine and the rattle of air brakes. As I realized tbat the train was saved a reaction overcame we atd I fell oa the track uncon8C'oa3. "It was six weeks k-efnre I recovered frdm the brain fever which followed. Forturately, the train men were old friends of mine, and the true cause f f my illnesi never reached headquarters. Upon recovery I repieced my position at Kimberly and came West, being haunted with such a dread of a repetition of the experience of that night that I dared not res a re e work in that place. Since then I have had many remarkable experiences, but none which produced so startling or lastirjg an impression upon me. The beys often laugh at my snow-white hair, kLowing me to be scarcely above thirty yeaia of age, little imagining what caused it."
