It was down on the Great Jackson route. A freight train had met. with an accident, and so our train going south was ofi‘ time and had to run in on a siding and wait for the llghtning express coming up from New Orleans. Many of us were strolling about, picking blackberries or gathering flowers, when some one suddenly shouted : “ Everybody keep quiet and listen! Hark!” . It was the deep, far-away bay of a. hound and after half a minute we realized that 11: was coming nearer. “ The dogs are running a deer 1” shouted one, "‘ and if we string out we may get a. shot I” Fifteen or twenty men, each with a re- yolver, struck out along the track, and past then we heard the iron rails begin to Signal that the express was coming. Two minutes later we heard her whistle. There were three or four dogs in the chase, and as they drew nearer it was evident that the game would cross the track below the bridge. We ran down to it, though no one cared to risk the cross- ing. We were hardly there when a coal- ‘black negro, bareheaded and in rags, leap- ed out of the bush on the track and stood facing us. The dogs had somehow lost him. and were paying in the thicket forty rods away. What his crime was we could not say. He was a big fellow and as he stood there arms folded across his hearing breast, his face had a terrible look. He was only a pistol shot away, but no one raised a weapon. On the contrary, one of the crowd shouted to him : " Off the track or you’ll be killed 1” 1‘ ,,,,____.__ LL-anA“ VI. vu .. wv nu-v~ He turned and saw the express thunder- ing down the level stretch, and then faced us again. The engineer blew an alarm, but he stood there like a rock. The train was running over that stretch as a pigeon flies, sparks of fire flashing from the rails and a great cloud of dust whirling behind it, and the speed could net even be check- ed. The black man looked neither to the right nor the left. The dogs were coming nearer, but they were too late. Those who did not turn their faces aside saw the pilot fling him fifty feet high, and, ‘ as the body fell. it splashed into the creek 1 at our feet and lay there, only half hidden ‘ by the shallow watersâ€"bruised, broken, dead. It had scarcely struck the water when five or six dogs broke from the thicket and crossed the tracks, and close upon them were three or four men. They were too late. The hunted man had taken his choice of how he would dieâ€"Detroit Free Press. This “ sermonette ” 13 especiauy 101: you ‘ dear girls. The advice could be put in ‘ three wordsâ€"Don’t do it. Possibly there might come an occasionâ€"say once in a lifetimeâ€"when a good round bit of the genuine article “ slang " would prove funny. But to hear vulgar words used by a gentle girl is almost invariably shock- ‘ ing. I remember passing two girls in the ‘ street and hearing one of them say : “ I’ll bet you a quarter.” It gave me a shiver. And when a group of school-girls fill their conversationâ€"as, alas ! they often doâ€" with one slang phrase after another, the effect on an outsider is painfully disagree- ‘ able. The habit of talking slang grows ra idly. It 18 like reporting a bit of scandal. ave you never noticed if you say an unkind word against a neighbor how quickly a ‘ chance comes to say another 'I And with just that same appalling ease a habit of ' using careless. coarse words increases. : Weeds grow rapidly. ' ‘ T‘â€" ~11..L " UVUU 5-vvv __'I I There is plenty of good strong English l to give expression to wit, drollery, indig- nation, or sympathy without recourse to the phrases which belong to horse-jockeys, gamblers, tipplers. and vagabonds. The street arab picks up slang as he does the ends of old cigars from the gutter. Surely a well-bred girl is not or. the same level a.-v;ell-bred girl is not or. the same lever in her speech and manner. Why should she use vulgar words any more than she would stain her hands 2 There ought to be something akin to ‘ flowers in a fresh young . girl. She need not be prudish nor prlggish, No one ‘wishes her to say “prunes and prisms” to coax her lips into the proper curves. But refined and dainty in speech as well as in dress she surely ought to be. Won’t you please think about it for five minutes . and see if you do not agree with me? DUBLIN, July 22.â€" seen further ravages l in Ireland. Rev. Dr tor of Castle Have! DUBLIN, July 22.â€"â€"The past week has seen further ravages by the potato blight in Ireland. Rev. Dr. Lyons, administra- tor of Castle Haven. in the diccese cf Roscoe, Cork, writing under Thursday’s date, says in all the town lands of his parish that border on the sea the failure of the potato crop is complete. Continuing, Father Lyons adds : “In places situated more inland the 1state of affairs is not altogether so bad, absolutely necessary to save any of the crop. Even in the latter districts blight appeared before any of the tubers were formed. So far as the parishes of Castle Haven and Moyross are concerned, and, I, may add, all other parishes bordering !on the sea, the prospect for poor people . ‘l- _ ...L.........-.

When I see these potato gardens, which have been culti- vated with such care, utterly blasted and gone, and when I consider at the same time that these people will get no further ‘ credit for provisions from the shop- keeper, the issue seems to me appalling.” Distressing reports have also been received from other districts of Cork, Limerick, Kerry and Waterford. Since they were written the weather has been wetter than ever, and the blight must have spread to a. the last few days. When a. woman calls her husband a. bear she probably remembers how he used to hug her. 1 “How many ,women marry a good sensible man?” asks Kate Feld. Only one, if the man help it. It is waste of time to look back at one’s mistakes when there is so much fun in 1 watching other people’s. It is no consolation to a patient suffering from a severe cold in the head to be told that “ colds always attack the weakest spot. ” The great secret of getting on in the worldâ€"a secret which tew have learnedâ€" is to know when to speak, and especially when to keep still. Calumny, says a. philosopher, is like a. coal ; if it does not burn it will soil. Yes, and calumny warms a. man about as well as coal, too. Still, we prefer coal.

The rumor, which comes this time from Switzerland, says that cop- per tools, saws, blades, axes, and edges have been made and tested and found to be quite equal to those made of steel. So many scientists have wrestled with this that it would seem about time for somebody to find a successful solution. It may take a moment more to lay a tool up carefully after using, but the time is more than equalised when you want to ‘ use it again, and so it is time saved. Habits either good or bad, (:0 a long way in their influence on men’s lives, and it is far bet- ter to establish and firmly maintain a good habit, even though that character has no special bearing on the moral 1 character ; yet all habits have their influ- - ence.
