ROM A NTJC—A STERN CHASE BY A STERN PARENT. A fJeorgia train, full of passeiigors, upon stopping at one of the stations on the Chattanooga road lately, found the place swarming with a sympathetically excited crowd, which had a story to rolate. A fow minutes beforo a young gontlenian and lady rodo up at a mighty pace on blown stoeds,evidently to catch tho train, but not finding it, had rodo on, and a few minutes later grizzled beard, by inference tho dam sol's sire,came galloping after on a pow orlul horse. Plainly an elopement case, and tho warm hearted engineer upon hearing tho news whispered his ma chine to do her best, and soon tho locomotive, lovers and stern lather were tearing over tho plain together. Tho snood of tho train was gaugod to keep abreast of tho pair, whilo hundreds of iiats and handkerchiofs wavod them encouragement. Whip niul spur were plied in earnest. Tho youth's face spoko dollanco tho maiden's liopo and calm courage, but the inspiration of desperation which they felt could not 1)0 imparted to their horses, wh.lo tho strong limbs of their dreaded pursuer's steed scorned just adapting themselves to tho chase. It was not a case for dolay, and tho passengers demanded a stoppago of tho cars, which was dono, and tho rescued lovers transferred, whilo belllcoso papa sat alar oil on his horso and swore and swore and shook his pistol. Perhaps tho days of chivalry aro roturnod. xTiiivrNQ for rorul arTty.

They havo a candidate forjtho Legislature in Virginia who thought, some timo ago, that ho had hit upon a firstrate plan for gaining popularity. IIo used to go out by a railroad truck and pick up tho first child ho saw playing around anvwhero near, and ho would hold that Infant until ho saw a train approaching. Then ho would place his little victim upon tho track and hide in the hushes. Just as the locomotivo got almost to tho spot ho would rush out and siczo tlio child and drag it of! just in tho nluk of timo. Upon otheTr occasions ho would push little eliildren off the canal boats and bridges and thon dive for thorn. Tho consequence was that for a whilo ho was the most popular man In tho county. But he did so much of this kind of business that people at last began to grow suspicious, and certain of his political adversaries determined to watch him. One day they camo upon him while ho was placing a little boy on the track. They kept quiet until tho train approval) ed, and then, tho whole crowd started up In front of him. He was so unnerved that he forgot to seize the child, and the train ran over it. IIo had to pay ten thousand dollars dama-

:es fur the kss of tho boy's leg, and ho now in jail upon a charge of assault and battery with Intent to kill. It

BE BRIEF.

There is a rsorld of wisdom in the following from tho Boston Globe: Long speeches, long letters, long communications, aro out of place in these stirring times. We have a whole world's news to look after, and put in order for our readers over night. Remember that, kind correspondents and contributors! Avoid parentheses! Drop tho semicolons as much as possible, and tho colons altogether. Make the spices between your periods brief. Shake out tho adjectives without remorse. Sacrifice tho pet metpphote. I5o not led astray by the love of antithesis, or alliteration. The substan-tivcs-anl sixes, that Brother Choate drove, brilliant phreton that he was, often made sad wrecks of his sentences. Bo clear, and crisp, and pertinent, like in your invectives, eulogies, and recommendations. Think of tho Lord's Prayer, and then of tho awkward substitute served up by sensation-mongers in too many pulpits. What flights of tawdry rhetoric, and Volleys of exple-' tives, what endless repetition of tedious details, weary and disgust tho hearer It is frightful to thins of tho time wasted by thoso self-parading petitioners, and long-winded inditers of manyheaded sermons. Life is too short, too full of carcs and duties, to be thrown away thus. Tho bost advico, the brightest wit, tho deepest wisdom, couie ever in small packages."
