At tie ir.qu.fst it was shown that the entire side of the boiler had been ripped out by the mighty force of the explosion, although, as theeDgine was standing still, the re very low, and less than seventy pounds of steam on, it seemed impossible that there could be sufficient power to produce such results. The testimony of the bagf are master, however, threw some light on the subject. "When I got into the station," he said, "I fsund I was one piece short, and went ba:k to the car to look for it. It was very dark, and I carried m lantern, I reached out and caught hold of what I supposed was an iron handle and pulled. The trunk, if it was the tiuEk did not move. I pulled again, 'and Heard the engineer say : "What in thunder is rocking this engine so? I then took hold with both hands, braced my feet, gave one ierk, when the explosion followed and the truck came aways" This, coupled with the testimony of the station agent, that the baggag master came into the baggage room carrying a section of iron boiler w igt ing about 2,700 ncunds, remarking as he threw it down that it was the tougheft bandbox he had 1 andied this year,and must be half a ton over weight, convinced the jary that the cause of the explosion is less a mystery than an appalling matter of wonder. HE ALWAYS MOVES FIRST. Mr, Tonguetied, who married a school teacher who can not only speak three languages, but can and does speak them, on occasion, all at once, says he is now deeply interested in the solution of an insoluble check her problem. A TALE Or THE RAILROAD. There was a man eat in front of me all the way to Uedford. He spake no word, so he might have been dumb, but he made no sign, so he certainly wasn't. OJ all the loquacious, chattering mortals in all thia garrulous old world, a deaf and dumb man is the worst chatterbox in the lot. I never knew one who could keep quiet ten minutes. They talk with their eyes, lips, cheets and ban dp, and when they go to bed, I have no dount they talk with their feet and sing with their noses. Certainly this was no deaf ai.d an tubman. He twirled his thumbs and looked cut of the window, a silent, observant, sensible, traveler. Thumbs were made to twirl, and windows were made to look through. When the train reached Med ford "Which Medford?" There is but one Uedford, thou of the simple mind. When the train reached Medfoad, this traveler turned to me and said: "Hum old place, eh?" I smote him to the earth, and turned and fied. Down darkening streets, away from the sight of men, into the shadowy glooms of Koadscraper's barber shop; but the horrified face of the slain man followed me, and haunted me and will naunt me to my dyeing day, which won't be yery long, if my overcoat tans muci more in these November sues. Med ford is an old, old village, but not nearly so old as some of the jokes that are made about it. The famous or, if the editor prefer, infamous rum, that mide the name of the pretty village a household word from Dan to Barker's Comers, is said to be an article of such remarkable purity that it is non-intoxicating, if taken in doses of ten drops of mm to a barrel of rain water. However, it is a seductive beverage, indorsed and need by the clergy. The clergy that indorsed it and used it, however, is dead -dead, and gcn to join the crravan of good men who drank Medford rum, hanged witches, whipped Quakers, and piliotied Baptists. They are all dead, and their children, who are much better and far pleasanter people than were their fathers, inherit the land. They keep right on inheriting it, tco. The old distillery stands aa of yore yore means some time ago and Md ford rum still under favorable circumstances can make the b air curl on the knotty brow of a railroad tie, but Medfcrd village baa naught to do with the adversary, and prospers and blooms like a ard en of roaes, and. save for my hasty and thoughtless slaying of the aliens traveler

for' his ill-timed Z joke, crime has" not stained the garments of tiie village for io these many days. THE OWSER 0T IT ALL. ; At Northwest Upper Village, Lower Falls which the reader will at once know is a thriving village in Massachusetts a young man came to the hotel to take me over to see "our hall." lie wore a visorless cap that was intended to ba an impression of an lniV&tion of aatrakan, and his overcoat waa tri-med with fur which had withstood the lavages cf time and moth about as well as fur trimming can be expected to withstand the ravages of those relentless foes during a constant and pitiless struggle cf seventeen long and weary years, lis was a pleasant and evidently a professional young man, who explained tee ''acooUicks" of "our hall" to me; showed me what improvements "we" hud made and contemplated making; said that three parties of "his people" were on thlslcircuit now; he was playing them on two and three-nights stands: wouldn't do any other kind of business; would rather keep his people on the road on expense than hold them over at a one-eight town. That was the reason he didn't like to handle lecturers. lie had hesitated eorre time before taking me, and only did so to plessa some of the old patroES of; the opera house. He didn't care to handle lecturers. I said tbey were a mean lot cf citizens. He placMly assented, and told me I had better leave the setting of the stage to hin, as lecturers knew nothing abcut snch things. He alwass managed Beecher and Cough when tbey came on this circuit, but Just then a short, fat man, with a scowl that lcoked as though it had been stolen frcm the property man, came on the st8ge. 'B;ll," he reared, ''there's three inches cf dnst in them boxes. Git into 'em right away, end then go down and shift the coal over, s I told you." And es Bill fled into "them boxes" and went ro work, I saw that the removal of his overcoat displayed a red flannel sblrt ard a paper collar. The janitor told ma Bill was a barj'ly port of a fe'low about the house, but so all killin' lazy you had to keep after him with a club all the time. Bo BERT J. ECRDETTE.

NOT TOO FAMILIAR

Mit. Henry T7rd BescWi Badget cf New YeirYldfiea. Familiarities r7;ia Oar Newest Friiids Not Alwiji W:i8 cr Djeirible. A Word ta Childrn Win Pry Icto tie Affiiri g! 0!,d:r Ptoy.'e. Some Types Familiar in Friendship Familiar Strangers AVires Who Receive Familiar Attentions From Wrong Directions. (Written for the Sentinel.) (Copyrighted, lfcST.) It is hardly possible that the young can understand or will accept the old maxim that "familiarity breeds contempt'' with favor. To their young hearts the term "familiarity" is only associated with real friendshipe the endearments and unrestrained exhibitions cf sweet conüdeucei and eSectioa between parents and cbildran, brothers and sisters, and the plca3int merry home lif?. As a general thing tbey know little of life except its rcss-tintoi side. The tough and stony p'aces which adversity brings, the heartaches that came when those most trusted are proved faUe, wbc! protestations of undying love and confidence, and free and easy approach?.", are found to be only the gn-e to inve!g'e and deceive for their own seltisa end?. All this sad knowledge i3 not common to youth, Lor is a judgment, born of experience, e csily attained which can teach them to distinguish between the tru9 and the false. Few, unfortunatfly, however, barely reach the early stages of maturity without being compelled to recognize the correctness of this old and homely adage. Too great familiarity, even with the nearest and mcst intimate L-iends, may not always be wise or desirable or lead to thü hsppiest result?, and beyond a certain line it is'a license thatreGned and wellmannered prcple never venture upon. It is a fault that is very liable to spring up in childhood, and is, at that eerly ace, looked upon as rather mere amusing than annoying, eo that in its first st8ges it is passed by with little notice merely a childish foible. Bet if this aggressive element is developed In early youth and is allowed to tafee root and gather strength until the child is surposed to reach years of discretion. It becomes a settled habit of the most oß"nsive nature, espeo ially to perrons of refinement and delicacy. If parents who, through that unreasonable fondness for their children are never able to recogD'ze any faults, could be sufficiently reused to see in a little child whereunto this habit is inevitably tending, and honestly labor to eradicate that curiosity by which a child is led to pry into matters that are the rers;nal xigbts of others, it would soon be held in restraint and rooted cut. But if they blindly suffer this very undesirable trait to take root and gather etrergth, as the child gees on toward maturity it will then be hard, if not impossible, to erndicate it, and it mu3t teconce offensive to allwhoara compelled to come m contact with iL No doubt persons to whom this dieareeable trait hss become a f.eeply-seated habit have many desirable traits. Kind-hearted to all.it rr ay be, honest and true in all their dealings, jet few, knowing this weakness in their character care to associate with them, f?eline that it woald be impossible to be nesr tbem any length cf time before the efl'crt will be made, and persisted in, to discuss your own private affairs in the most familiar style, ready, to be sure, to make full exchange, and open before you everything connected with their own history in the most intimate and confidential manner. Often it is very evident that nothing wrong is iatsnded, atd therefore one is at alos3 to decide how to reply to the unceasing torrent of inqn'rie. There are, however, specimens cf ov?rfainilianty that deserve to be met only fcy open conttmpt. What more embarrassing ai d exasperating than in a public conveyance, where escape is impossible without attracting attention, to have a perfect strsncer begin to ask questions and make remarts as if on the most intimate terms, and with a freedom that would be scarcely tolerattd in one's own family. There is a deep, to be sure, who really know no better, who hsve lived where there was little opportunity for improvement, or any example or teaching to rouse them to a sense of the gross impropriety in such liberties. For such one can find some excuse and some commiseration. And yet, even when ignorance is offered as an excuse, do we not feel there ehonld be an instinctive sense of propriety sufficient to withhold even a heathen? However charitable one may endeavor to look on such peculiarities, it is pitiable to feel bow barren that mind must he, how little focd for thought it must pos;es3, that finds excitement or interest in asking how many yards are used in the dress of a perfect stranger with whom they are not likely ever to meet again, how much the lady gave for it, what size shoes she wears, how many pairs she buys a yesr, and an interminable list of inquiries of a similar character. Does any one think such thines seldom happen? A great mistake! We have listened to similar questions when traveling, and have been put through the same or a similar catechism often enough to know tnat it is not an uncommon thing. But there is another and worse side to over-fam'liarity which can cause pain too acute for any feeling of contempt the abuse of the nature! familiarity which springs out of the closest family relations. Nowhere else are the laws of good society, if we look no higher, so often set aside or overlooked. When held in check by that genuine gcod breeding and politeness which springs from a sensitive conscience and a pure and noble heart, the familiarity of family love and home relations becomes a playful tenderness that leaves no sting and causes no heartache. But love is often a vain show, and iastead of a band to bold the family together the very tenderest of all home relations is viewed aa furnishing a license for impoliteness and neglect such as ncne would dare to approach a stranger with, far less an intimate. "Is it Dot my wife? Is it not my child? Who shall dare dispute my right to do what I will with my own?" If the head of the family its rulerspeaks unkindly, it is because the bonds that bind them together are his safeguard Trcre is a sense of security from exposure in family pride, in part, but stronger than all else is the knowledge of the womanly love that seeks to hide all errors. The wife or daughter, and sometimes sister, ar9 often spoken to by the "gentleman" of the house as he wonld not dare to speak to any other woman, however insignificant. But more particularly Is this brute sense of ownership manifested to his wife. A brother finds no particular pleasure in talking sharp or domineering over his sister, He is well aware she may resent it,, and retort evrn more sharply than he addressed her. For a daughter, a father, unlesa lost to all sense of shame, has usually a peculiar tenderness by which the escapes much of the oppression that other members of the family are exposed to. The restraints of society often prove a stronger protection to the

wife from her husband's irritability and nnjUBt. censures than his professed aöec tion fcr her. And more's the pity! It is often the case that polite, deferential attentions will be more frequently proffared by gentlemen outside the family circle than from her hnsband. Do any need to be told whereunto this leads? The daily par-era are full of what may follow." But cruel, unnatural . end mean as this is, it is not always confined to the masculine In the household. We wish we coald prove that a lady never "ansirerj back," when "reviled, revileth not again, never returns railing for railina, a Eharp retort for a bitter word, or meets discourtesy wi'h equal neglect and indifleresce. We blush to acknowledge that the wife is perhaps as often responsible for the beginning ot evil in this respect as her husoand. Public opinion has as strong hold on her a3 on a man. even stronger, as woman has more of that kind of pride which holds her back from the open exhibition of the irritation that is driving her almost fariousthana man. She will not allow the public gossips to hold her ud to the gaze of the world if self-restraint is possible. But all the courtesy and amiability, the deference and respectful attention exhibited in public or to friends outside, are worthless to man or woman if the sane is not mere earnestly extended to each in the sacred precincts of home. Love that shines in the most kindly acts, respectful attentions, quick to see what may be needed or gratifying the most perfect at home or nowhere. All that is found outside should be but the overflow of that which is unchanging and perpetual in the charmed circle of home. There is where we must tet k for the true lady, and gentleman. If not fully developed and sacredly maintaired there but prominently exhibited elsewhere, the sentiment is spurious a counterfeit. Tender as may be the exhibition of that spirit which is the spark from God's altar that kindles the home fire, fend, and loving, and caressing as may to its revelation, it never degenerates into that cver-familiarity that is the bane to the best and noblest emotions. If young people, whether brothers and sisters, husbands and wives, would but give this idea respectful attention, look at it candidly iu stead of calling it sentimental talk; if before they quite decide to throw it aside as of no importance they would Icok around them, cot governed by gossiping reports, but by what is going on daily right before their eyes, if they would candidly examine Iiis as it moves on around them, tbey would soon guard against that familiarity which they cannot bat see is injurious. It 1b a course representation and not the true diamond; It destroys true re Cnement, develops the cc&reer, harder parts of their character, breeds not ooly contempt but. in the'end inevitable coldness and estranecment This idea once accepted as true, how soon we should see a large increase of refinement, genuine politeness the genuine gentleman and lady. We should find them wearing thee higher and more noble attainments more as an tvery-day working garment than a fancy dress only exhibited at pai ties, balls, and state occasions, and then folded np and locked out of sight never more to be paraded till reeded for public exhibition. Those bound together by natural ties or by marriage need to exercise all the gentleness and forbearance, the courtesy and af fectiocste politeness that they possess, incrtastd and purified by careful nurture, Mr.s.

WEALTHY NEGROES. A Texas Colored Man Wbo In Worth S8,000,000. Galreston News. When the New York papers a few days sgo reftrrt d to N. W. Cuney as being the wealthiest colored man in Texas, they had evidently not heard of the Lincoln family, now residing at Dallas, six children in all, wbo have come into the possession of $18,(00,000, giving them the snug little fortune of IS.CCO.OOO apiece. One cf the heirs to this immense property is at present inGalvettoa, and a News reporter looted him up yesterday, as much cut of curiosity to see a negro possessed of such enormous wealth as in Eearch of an item. The following item from a paner published in Paris, Tex., in connection with the inlormation that one of the heirs was ,n the city, is that which directed the reporter in the search. The Lincoln heirs (colored), living in Dallas, who a year or so ago became the wealthiest colored people in America, have recently came into possession cf all of their property. The amount due them was on deposit in the Bank of England, and aggregated the enormous sum of $13,CO0.0CO. Forty-eight million dollars! This has just been divided among the heirs, Abraham, Ed, Bur, Mat, Fannie and Lulu, each having received $S,000,000. Eight million dollars! The party in Galveston bears the illustrious cognomen of Abraham Lincoln. He was traced to a colored boarding-house on Twenty-fourth street, between Tostoffica and Church, but not being found in the courteously responded to the request of the News man to call at the olLce, which he did last night, coming in as meekly as though he wanted to borrow $1 instead of owning $8.000,000. Abraham is a young man apparently not over thirty-five years of age, of a saddle-colored complexion, and evidently a man of more than the average intelligence of his race. He has credentials, printed letter-heads, etc., wherein he is styled Governor Abraham Lincoln, showing him to be the manager of the estate. When asked by what means such enormous wealth had been acquired by his family, he replied tbat it was an inheritance from his grandmother, Fanny Ellis, who resided at Dallas when she died a year or two ago. Fanny Ellis waa a Mexican woman, and some forty years ago her husband acquired immense wealth in speculation in Mexican mining claims, which was deposited in the Bank of Eoglaad. Preceding the late civil war they bought and sold slaves, and among one of their purchases from a sieve trader was the father of the six children who have recently come in poesession of the $4S,000,000. The father married the daughter of hin mistress, by whom he was eet free, and the six children being the direct issue of that marriage, establish the chain of direct inheritance. Some litigation was necessary in establishing their claim, and it was only a fear days ago that they acquired actual possession of their fabulous inheritance. Abraham Lincola is here, as he says, with the view of probably locating at Galveston. When asked if he had matured any plans for investing this vast estate, he replied that they had decided to invest it all on January 1, in United States bonds. "The interest on the bonds," said he, "will give ns more than enough to live on, with a good margin for speculation without touching the principal. It is also a aafe Investment and carries with it an immunity from taxation." Waxem'i Political Proverbs. Washington Critic.

"I am hnpry to ii-to that I used Hood' Sarsajiarilia for catarrh, with which I have been troubled many years, and received great relief and benefit from it. Tho catarrh; was very disagreeable, especially In tha winter, causing constant discharge from my nose, ringing noises in my ears, and pains la the back of my head. The effort to clear my head in the morning by hawking and spitting was painful. My grocer advised me to try Hood's Sarsaparilla, and It gave me relief Immediately, while la time I was entirely cured. I am never without tho medicine in my house, as I think it Is worth its weight la gold." Mrs. G. B. Gieb, 1023 Eighth Street, N. W., Washington, D. C.
