“Blame It All on Me!”

A grand crash—a shower of flying splinters bump! bump! and the coaches settled back on the rails, and the passengers picked themselves up and cried out to each other that there had been a collision. So there had. freight No. 17 was pulling in on the side-track, but the day express thundered down on her while the long train was yet a third of its length on the main track. Some one had blundered. Some one's watch was off time. Some one must be held responsible for the accident. Under the overturned locomotive was the fireman —dead. Near hiin was the engineer, pinned down to the frozen earth by one of the drivers, and when he had been relieved a doctor, who was among the passengers, knelt beside him and said: “Arm broken leg broken foot crushed to a pulp. He cannot live. ’’ Who had blundered? Who had disobeyed orders? The conductors of the two trains were comparing watches and orders, when the engineer beckoned them. “I alone am to blame!” he whispered. “I wasn’t due here till 10:10, ‘ and it was just 10:05 when I struck the freight. I was ahead of time—running on her time.” “So it was —so it was, ” whispered the two conductors. “This morning when I left home,” continued the engineer, “the doctor was there. Our little Jennie—our 5-year-old—-was sick unto death. In her delirium she kept crying out: ‘ Don’t go, papa; don’t leave little Jennie to die!’ It was like a knife in my heart to leave her, but go I must. I was leaving the house when the doctor put his hand on my shoulder and said: ‘ Tom, my boy, by 6 o’clock to-morrow morning she’ll either be dead or better.’ “What a long day this was to me!” he went on after a bit “When I pulled out of the depot to-night, headed for home and Jennie, I wanted to fly. I kept giving her more steam, and I kept gaining on my time. We aren’t due till 7, you know, but I wantedHo be in at 6-r-aye! an hour before that. When the thought came to me that Jennie might be dead when next I entered the door, I should have pulled the throttle wide open if the fireman hadn’t grabbed my arm.” “Poor man 1” they whispered as he shuddered with pain and seemed to be exhausted. “Yes, blame it all on me!” he whispered. “No. 17 had five minutes more to get in, and she’d have made it all right, but I stole her time. And now—and now !” He lay so quiet for a moment that the doctor felt for his heart to see if it still beat. “And now—that’s her—that’s Jennie. She’s beckoning—she’s calling! Right down the track—over the high bridge —through the deep cut —I’m coming—coming!” ““ And men wiped tears from their eyes and whispered: “He has found his child in death!”— As. Quad.

Color-Blindness.

It has not been the duty of the writer to investigate cases of accident which might have been caused by defects of sight, but he has been assured by officials that a solution will hereafter be found in th'em for those hitherto insoluble mysteries where men, otherwise credible, have so flatly contradicted themselves and the circumstances of the case. By one prominent officer he was told that, being upon a train at night, delayed by some slight accident, he himself took a red lantern, and, going a proper distance back, placed himself on the track in the way of an on-coming train, but, finding his light not observed he was compelled to dash it into the cab to attract the engineer’s attention, and arrest him in his progress to a collision. Upon the examination of another engineer, his superior officer being present and convinced of his color-blindness remarked that, but a short time before, the man had run into the rear of a train properly protected by a red light in the hands of a brakeman some distance in the rear, that the most careful investigation had resulted only in the suspension of the brakeman for not having gone far enough back, but that he was now satisfied that the color-blindness of the engineer had been the real cause of the accident. Son|j> slight or minor accidents recently led to the discovery that another engineer had by some oversight not been tested in his division, and this led to his examination detection there, and to his conviction by the writer as colorblind. Still another case now presents itself. An engineer some time ago ran over and killed a brakeman, holding a danger-signal on the track in front of his engine, and no satisfactory explanation could then be given; but the division examiner predicted that he would probably be found color-blind, and on his examination this proved to be the case.— Popular Science.

A Worthless Animal.

Farmer Diggins had a horse to sell, and at the market he commenced to dilate on the animal's good qualities. “How much will you give for him?* shouted Diggins. “Forty dollars,” gelled a voice. “ 'Twon’t do,” said Diggins. “Ten dollars,” shouted a wall-eyed mail. ~~ \ r “He’s worthless,” cried another. “Who said he was a worthless . animal?" howled Diggins. “’Twas you you lop-eared rail-chopper.” „ “I didn’t say any such thing, you mule-backed lump of clay,” replied the man. “I only said he was worth less than forty dollars, and now darned if I don’t think he is worthless.” Diggins traded the horse for a side of baoon before the close of the day.— Carl Pretzel’s Weekly.

Why They Did Not Dance.

Lafayette, at the age of 20, left his young wife and flew to aid Washington. He loaded a ship with supplies which were most needed by American troops, and helped them with the prestige of his name, with scant military experience, and with all the cash he could command. He not only drilled his soldiers, but clothed and fed them, and when his own means were exhausted he appealed to the generosity of others.

When the ladies of Baltimore proposed to give a ball to the gallant Frenchman he said to them: “Ladies, I should be delighted to dance with you, but my soldiers have no shirts.” The ball was postponed and the belles of Baltimore made shirts for the soldiers. —Philadelphia Record.

A Proof-Reader.

CapL F. M. Duffy, a newspaper man well known in Tennessee, was for a time editor of the Franklin (Ky.) Patriot. On evening, shortly after he began his work on the Patriot, the foreman went into the editorial room and said: » “Captain, I left some proofs there on your desk. I wish you would read them to-night, for I have to ‘ make-up ’ early in the morning.” “I have an engagement to take a young lady to a moonlight picnic tonight,” the Captain ruefully replied. “Can’t help that; we must have the proofs. It won’t take you long.” The Captain broke his engagement and went to work. There were only three columns of long primer, but by mistaking the advanced slips of a stereotyped story to be the proof-sheets referred to, he devoted himself to them, a cheerless task, indeed, for they told all about “Rachel, the Miser’s Daughter.” »' Early next morning, when the foreman reached the office and saw the mistake, he promptly exploded. The Captain had read thirty-six columns, and had found a turned comma. On his desk the following note was found: “Have worked all night on these blasted proofs and have found one error. You’ve got a splendid lot of compositors, I must say, but I notice they set fiction much better than they do local matter.”— Arkansaw Traveler. '

The Spoils of War.

Charles, as soon as he had finished conquering Lorraine, gathered his host at Besancon, and marched to Granson on the Neuchatel Lake. Here a garrison of 500 Swiss was betrayed to him; he hanged or drowned every man of them, including the monks who came as chaplains. Justly enraged, the Federation gathered its whole strength, and with 24,000imen fell upon Charles unawares and’defeated him utterly. The booty was something fabulous; Burgundy, taking taxes from all the rich Netherland towns, was then the richest power of Europe. The spoil was valued at a quarter of a million. You may calculate what that would be worth now. The big diamonds—one is now in the Pope’s tiara, another was long the glory of the French regalia—were among ■ the valuables. The Duke’s throne was valued at 11,000 gulden; all his plate, his silver bedstead, his wonderfully illuminated prayer book, were taken, besides 1,000,000 gulden in his treasure chest,, 10,000 horses and a proportionate quanity of all kinds of stores. No wonder the Swiss never recovered Granson ; there were long and bitter quarrels about the division of the booty, and the coming in of so much wealth among a simple people demoralized them sadly, and led the way to their becoming the chief mercenaries of Europe. —Good Words.

Perpendicular Real Estate.

Apropos of earth, they tell a good story of Judge Jackson. He went out to one of the new towns of the Far West, which is built on a side hill. Real estate was booming, and real estate speculators flocked around him. One of them conducted him to a lot about as desirable for a residence as a perpendicular wall and said: “There’s the place for you! Only $6,000! Ain’t it fine?” “Ah, but it’s so steep in topography and price.” “That’s just it,” said the real-estate man. “You see that lot below it? Well, the man who owns it will have to have dirt to fill it up, and he’ll give you $5,000 for the earth graded from your lot.” The next day another real-estate man said: “I’ll show you a piece of property. There’s a fortune in it. Look there!” and he pointed down toward the lot below the side-hill that the other speculator had offered him. “Yes, but look at that lot above it,” urged Judge Jackson. “That’s just it, ” replied the speculator. “The man who owns it will give you $5,000 for a place to dump the dirt when he grades down his lot. The Judge did not buy any perpen-

The Value of Expert Testimony.

Medical Expert (on the witnessstand) —No, sir, it would have been impossible for the accused to quietly think out his plans for committing the murder while walking on Broadway. Counsel for the Defendant—State why, Doctor. Medical Expert—Because Broadway is the main artery of the city, and my professional skill teaches me that a quiet vein of thought on a main artery is paradoxical and absurd. Here the counsel for the prosecution displayed consternation, and several of the jury made voluminous notes. — New York 1 irnes.

He Was Reassured.

“Does the shining steel blade which I hold in my hand cause excruciating pain ?” inquired an Oil City barber. “What?’ ' . “I asked if the razor hurt you.” “Id it a razor ?" “Of course it is. Why?” ,> “I thought it was a saw, but if yon are sure it is a razor, go ahead.” — Oil City Blizzard.

Wonders Never Cease.

» Prof. C. Donaldson, New Orleans, La., proprietor of Museums, who suffered eighteen yean with rheumatic pains, states he has spent ten thousand dollars to get cured. After trying doctors, famous baths, electric applianoes.and legions of liniments without relief, he tri<*d St. Jacobs Oil, which completely cured him. It is a wonderful remedy, he says, and he has sold his crutches. The London Times was a hundred years old in January. There is no means of coming at the age of the jokes it has snatched from antiquity and preserved for posterity. /*»>».

A PRIVATE LETTER.

Probably no man la better known or more highly respected than Mr. Julian S. Carr, President of the Blackwell’s Durham Tobacco Co., of Durham, N. C. In every tobacco Store in the United States, and in many foreign countr4es, Blackwell’a Durham Tobacco is sold, and it is a well-known fact that the sales of this Company largely exceed those of any other tobacco manufacturer. That such success, has been obtained is due to the energy, integrity and ability of Mr. Carr, who has so successfully managed the affairs of the Company. Such a letter as the following, written by Mr. Carr to a personal friend, whose only interest in the matter referred to was a desire to do a friendly act, is certainly worthy of careful reading. Durham, N. C., Feb. 25, 1885. My Dear “Mac:” I have delayed writing to you. with reference to the Atniophoros remedy, until I could hear from a friend of mine, a gentleman of high character, who used Athlophoros at my suggestion with very great benefit. He is a tobacco manufacturer of high standing. 1 have waited to hear from him in order that 1 might use h.'s name officially. lam satisfied, however, that he must be at the New Orleans Exposition, and my letters have failsd to reach him. So I will not delay answering your letter longer. You want to know whether Athlophoros is really as good as you thought when you so kindly sent me a couple bottles. I had a sister who was a victim of neuralgia and rheumatism. She suffered intensely, and her condition gave her family and friends much concern. Every known remedy was tried, but without effect. When the bottles you sent me came, I sent one to my sister and one to my sister-in-law. My sister was so encouraged from the use of this one bottle that I put her upon a thorough treatment of Athlophoros. I certainly owe you and Athlophoros a great debt of gratitude. for the relief the remedy has given her. She has almost completely recovered from rheumatism, so much so that she has stopped the use of Athlophoros and considers herself well. My sister-in-law, to whom I gave the other bottle, was suffering fearfully with neuralgia, she had become unconscious from the pain—the Athlophoros relieved her entirely. I gave a bottle of Athlophoros to an intimate friend who suffered such intense pain in his head that he looked as if his eyes would start from their sockets, and" by its use he has been greatly benefited, and tells me that he received such relief from it that he orders it by the box and keeps it at all times in his house — is never without it—can't afford to be, this is the gentleman to whom I wrote. I wanted to send with this his opinion in his own handwriting. but as I stated, he must still be at New Orleans. A very worthy colored man, a house carpenter, Jim Whitted by name, lives in the house adjoining' “my man of all work.” One morning my man told me that Jim was Buffering eo intensely from rheumatism that the neighborhood was disturbed day and night by his cries of agony. Wishing to test Athlophoros before my own eyes on a genuine case of acute rheumatism, I wrote the Athlophoros Company stating Jim’s condition, and offering, if they would send me the remedy, to see that it had a fair trial in his case. I confess, with all my confidence in Athlophoros, I doubted whether it could help Jim, but it was faithfully tried, and I think the proudest man now in all this community is Jim Whitted. He claims to be entirely relieved of all his rheumatism, and not only that, but he says the stiffness in his joints, which came with the rheumatism, has all been removed. Within thirty hours after he began to use Athlophoros hc felt like another person. These instances have all come under my personal knowledge. I am very slow to speak of or recommend any medicine, but when a remedy has the virtue and the merit that I believe Athlophoros has, I cannot hesitate to recommend it. I have given you act* —don’t they answer your question fully? Yours truly, J. 8. Carr. If you cannot get Athlophoros of your druggist we will send-it, express paid, on receipt of regular price—one dollar per bottle. We prefer that you buy it from your druggist, but if he hasn't it do not be persuaded to try something else, but order at once from us, as directed. Athlophoros Co. 112 Wall street. New York.

Why His Wife Rises Early.

“I saw a thief pick a stranger’s pocket down by the depot about an hour ago,” said Smith to a policeman. “Well, why in the dickens didn’t you arrest him and bring him with you?” said the policeman. “You must take me for a fool!” said Smith. “I haven’t any use for a pickpocket.” A ~ “ No, of course not. But he ought to be arrested. He may pick your pockets yet.” “It won’t do him any good. If he picks my pockets and gets anything he will have to do it before my wife does, and she gets up mighty early. ”—Newman Independent.

The Most Precious of Gifts.

Health is undeniably a more precious Rift than rlqhes, honor, or power. Who would exchange it for these, the chief objects of human ambition? It is obviously the part of wisdom to employ means for the preservation of health and the prolongation of life which time and experience have proved to be reliable. Many of the dangers by which health is threatened may be nullified by the use of that most irresistible of correctives and tonics, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which, by increasing vital power and rendering the physical functions regular and active, keeps the system in good working order, and protects it against disease. For constipation, dyspepsia, liver complaint, nervousness, kidney and rheumatic ailments, and neuralgia, it is invaluable, and it affords a sure defense against malarial fevers, besides removing everv trace of such disease from the system.

“Ha! ha! ha!” he chuckled as he held up a ten-pound turkey for the inspection of a pedestrian; “but do you see this?” “Ah—yes. Buy him!” “No, sir-e-e! I won him!” “How?” * “Got him on a raffle.” “Y-e-s. How long you been at it ?” “Not over three months.” “Is this your first?” “Yes.” “Any idea of how much it has cost you?” .“Of course—got it all down here in my note-book. This hir’d has cost me sl7—not a cent over that. I know men whp have thrown away $25 without getting so much as the leg of a chicken, while I’ve a ten-pound turkey for sl7! Luck! Ah-ha! Um!”—Free Press. 1

DR. JOHN BOLL'S SmiffsToiiiiSynij « FOR THE CURE OF FEVER and AGUE Or CHILLS and FEVER, ANO ALL MALARIAL DISEASES The proprietor of thia oelebrated modi* oine justly claims for it a superiority over all remedies ever offered to the public for the BAFX, RERTAIK, SPEEDY and PEEMANENT cure of Agile and Fever, or Chills and Fexpr, whether of short or long standing. He refers to the entire Western and Southern country to bear him testimony to the truth of the assertion that in no case whatever will it fail to cure if the directions are strictly followed and carried out. In a great many cases a single dose has been sufficient for a cure, and whole families have been cured by a single bottle, with a perfect restoration of the general health. It is, however, prudent, and in every case more certain to enre, if its use is continued in smaller doses for a week or two after the disease haa boon ehooked, more especially in difficult and long-standing oases. Usually this medicine will not require any aid to keep the bowels in good order. Should the patient, however, require a oathartie medicine, after having taken three or four doeee of the Tonlo, a single dose of BULL’S VEGETABLE FAMILY PILLS will ba sufficient.
