BEATING A RAILROAD.
£he Strange Adventure of a Detroit
Newspaper Man.
Down In New York State, writes M.
Quad in the Detroit Free Press, there is a
railroad called the Rome, Watertown and
Borne Other Place railroad. I believe the
some other place is Ogdeneburg. Last
summer occasion required that I should
use this line of road for about 60 miles,
and 1 left Rome one morning feeling at
peace with all mankind. The conductor
came along in due time to take up the
tiokets, and I made it a point to ask him
If we were on time. I didn’t care a cop
per whether we were two hours
ahead or two hours behind time,
but I wanted to exhibit a
friendly spirit and let him know that I
was interested in his welfare. A passen
ger who won’t show his hand to a con
ductor ought to be made to ride in the
baggage car. He uttered a grunt in reply
to my question and passed on. If he was
too overworked and heart-broken to utter
a yes or no that was not my fault. He
put a green ticket in the band of my hat
to show that i was a cash passenger, and
I went to sleep to dream that a mad pop
ulace were about to hang Jay Gould be
cause he didn’t pay his railroad conduc
tors a salary of $5,000 a year.
“Ticket 1” yelled a voice in my ear, and
I awoke to find the broken-hearted con
ductor towering above me.
“What do you want?”
“Your tieketl”
“Gave it to you an hour ago.’*
“Where’s your check?”
“In my hat.”
“See here, young man,” growled the
broken-hearted conductor, “I want your
check or vour fare.”
The check was not in my hat. It was
not in any of my fourteen pockets. It was
not on tne seat or the floor, nor above nor
beneath the earth, it took ten minutes
to satisfy the over-worked conductor of
this fact.
“But. I had it,” I persisted.
“I doubt it.”
“Don’t you remember of my asking you,
When you took my ticket, if we were on
time?”
“No, sir! If I had ever been asked such
a question as tnat 1 should have surely
remembered it.”
“This man here must have seen my
ticket, for 1 saw him looking into my
wallet.”
“You are a liar!” promptly responded
the passenger, who had the seat Dehind
me.
“And you must either pay your fare or
get off,” added ibe conductor.
“Look here, old fellow, 1 bought my
ticket in the rtgular way, handed it over
occording to rule, and tne fact that 1
have kept my seat for sixty miles is evi
dence that you received the ticket. Don’t
make a side show of yourself about the
check, which is but a bit Of cardboard,
anyhow. 1 have always sympathized
with conductors as a poor but strictly
honest lot of uien. I feel that you are
overworked and overburdened, and that
you are many times the object of unjust
suspicions. When 1 make my wnl 1
shall r member at least twenty-five con
ductors to the extent of ”
“I want that cheek!”
“I haven’t got it.”
“Then l want your larel”
“1 have paid once.”
He reached up and seized the bell rope
and demanded: *
“Will you pay?” *
“Not to-day.” “
He pulled the cord, and the train came
to a standstill in about a quarter of a
mile.
“Now, then, off with you!”
“You’ll have to put me off! I’ve paid
my fare, and if I go off I want a show for
a suit lor damages.”
He beckoned for the brakeman. 1 have
always sympatb zed with the brakemen
as a class, believing them to be gentle
inindeit creatures who suffered and en
dured simply to keep trains running for
the* convenience of the public. The
brakeman came, and the pair lii ted me up
and helped me down the a s e and drop
ped me off' among the daisies. I sat down
on the grass, and, as the train moved off,
the conductor remarked:
“Next time you try tnis dodge on me
you’ll get badly thumped!’’
i eat there for t venty minutes, and then
the rear end of the train, as it backed up,
came into view, it stopped opposite me,
and the conductor came down and said:
“ilv dear sir, 1 beg a thousand par
dons! We iound your cbtck under the
seat, and hate come back for you!”
“Tnen I had a check?”
“You did 1”
“And 1 am not a dead beat!”
“I’ll shoot the man who says you are!”
“But you put me oil', and I w ant dam
ages from the company.”
“Say, don’t do it! Y'ou’ll ruin me!
I’ve not two children sick with scarlet
fever, a wife wiio is b nl-ridden, a mother
who needs my support, a lather ’’
I got aboard amt the train went on.
Tne man who bad called me a liar begged
my pardon, toe brakeman wanted to
adopt me for bis own son, and a dozen
passengers came to shake bands and say
that my magnanimous spirit would surely
be rewarded in heaven.
ON A FLOATING ISLAND.
Growing Trees Driven About by the
AViud.
One of the wonders of Henry’s Lake is
the floating island, says a correspondent
of the San Francisco Call, writing from
the Snake river country of Idaho. When
we camped at night a lovely island was
within a stone’s throw of us. We decided
to explore it in the morning. Tne soft
green carpet, the drooping willows ana
still' little pines, so near the saining sur
face o! the cool blue water, filled us with
a desire to rest in tbeir shade. When
morning came tne island was gone. Five
miles away wo could see the littl<* trees
waving in the wind that bail waited them
t'- tb< opposite side of tbe lake. Tbe wind
chanced, oowever, and the mysterious
island came ou its daily orbit and rested,
while all nature was hushed that lovely
aiternoon, near where we had flrstseen it.
\Ve paddled a raft of logs to its border. It
was circular in shape, and 600 feet in
diameter. The outer edge was a tough
sward, and so thin that it gave down un
der the weight of a man and let him into
the water boot-top deep. A few feet from
the edge it would support the weight oi a
horse. The floating mass we found to be
a mat of grass roots, overspread with a
thin layer ol decayed vegetable matter.
The small trees had taken root in that
blanket of mold. They rocked and
•waved from side to side as we walked
around them. As we approached the
island a large number of swans were seen
to swim away. There seemed to
be two kinds’ whito and gray.
Their guttural calls could be
heard five miles. In the wake of
otne that evidently were filling tneoflice
of mother, as they floated majestically
away were following the cygnets, flinty
amt round like bunches of tow. In tne
grass near us was a swan fluttering and
gryin" as she stretched out her 'ong neck
and spread out her broad w hite wings.
H he splashed Into tbe water when we
were twenty-five leet distant and disap
nearnl When we next saw her she was
for out on the lake swimming rapidly,
with tbre“ or four very small young ones
close behind. She had managed to get
them out of the nest and Into the water,
and they bad followed her. They were
not one’ day o'.d. In the nest from which
thv had been hurried were five eggs not
hatched. Two white, soil, flat bills
bad iust broken through the bard shell.
The tat man ot tbo party contracted to
complete tba hatching process in the
bosom of bis shirt, and wc carried tbe two
eircs to camp. Our incubator was a suc
cess ai doh the following morning he
drew forth from the recesses of his baggy
flannel fhirt two long heads and long
necks with small down covered Dodies at
tached.,./
Another curiosity near the lake is what
is called jloose Springs. From the mouth
of a caye in the side of a bluff bursts
forth a river Of considerable size. The
sparkling water, after seething aud roar
ing under the weight of great pressure or
other bidden forces, spreads out over a
rocky bed of glistening quart* 40 feet
wide, and leaps from ledge to ledge down
the precipitous heights. Thousands of
mountain trout are continually trying to
stem that tumbling torrent. They can be
seen flouncing in the air from morning
till nigut in tneir effort to gain the under
ground river, after following the tumult
ous Snake to the great summit of the
great watershed of the continent. In
dians catch and pack away from that
place tons of trout every year. When
we visited the fishing ground, a hungry
nomadic tribe of dusky natives, after
weary days of travel, were arranging
camp and looking happy over the pros
pect of a sumptuous meal. They were
to feast on fish that were yet uncaught.
After lighting the log tires the fisher
men repaired to the foot of the steep in
cline by the rushing outlet of the sub
terranean river. Each man cut a slender
rod and shaped the end of it to lit loosely
the hollow end of a buck’s-horn spear
tip. A strong cord attached tbe Up to ihe
rod or halt of the spear. A muscular
brave would step forward, a brawny,
hard arm would raise the simple imple
ment above his head, where it would
balance for a second, and then like an
arrow it would be hurled into the water
with a sure aim; a trout would flash his
speckled sides in the sun, tne blood
would flow in a red cloud down tbe
stream, and a fine fish would be
landed on tbe green sward. The buck
born tip would pass through the body and
slip from tbe halt as it was pulled back.
The cord fastening the tip to tbe rod
would hold ibe fish, let him flounder as he
would. After catching about ten pounds
for each member of the company they
proceeded to cook the evening meal in a
manner as simple as it was strange.
Large quantities of soft clay were dug
from the bauk and kneaded to the con
sistency of dough, and each fish was
separately incased In a coating of about
an inch thick and thrown into the tire
to bake.
Greek Ghost >tories.
From the Cornhill Magazine.
Mrs. Cross told us naught but stories
about ghosts and goblins; but these
stories, when told by a woman of so
quaint an aspect, and who thoroughly be
lievtd in them, were different from any
such stories 1 had ever heard, and more
over they were highly interesting as prov
ing the tenacity ol custom and myth
among these primitive folk. She told us
much about certain demons which the
people believe haunt the world from
Christmas to Epiphany; tnese they be
lieve to have tbe term of huge men with
goals’ or asses’ feet, the descendants, that
is to say, ol the hideous goat-looted satyrs
o antiquity. During their visits to earth
they subsist, like tbe Amazons ot old,
solely ou snakes and lizard; they
dance at night, aud enter houses
bv the chimney, so that Mrs.
Cross', like a good housewife, was
always careful to keep embers burning ou
the hearth during these dangerous days,
or else the Kalkargari, as they call them,
would come in aud spoil ail her lood by
their dirty tricks. At cockcrow they dis
appear lor the day, aud dwell in moun
tain caves, out not till Epiphany comes
is the world free from them, aud tnen they
flee under ground altogether, taking be
fore they go aback at tbe tree which sup
ports the world, and which one day they
will cut through. A popular idea, akin
to putting salt on a bird’s tail, is that if
you can hit a Kilkargaroejwith a flaming
torch he will become a man.
IV hen once opened on the subject of
demonology. Mrs. Cross’ lips were not
easily closed. We heard in one evening
enough about modern nereids, dragons,
and jami;e to last for wnoie nights of
nursery tales at home if properly ex
tended; but one struck me as particularly
illustrative of Greek demon-dread as it
exis s now.
“There is a wood in the mountains,”
began Mrs. Cross, “far above the monas
tery, and near where tne hermit lather
I’artbenios has hts celt, where demons
abound in countless numbers, and none
daro approach it at nigut Ore day a
bold wood cuitertrom Kardyadetermined
to go witn his ass aud pass the night
there, havi g cut down all tbe wood be
wanted. When evening came on be mad
on tne ground a circle, in tb.s lie drew
with nis ax a lot ol crosses, aud within
tbe crosses a row of mystic letters, and
aga n another row of crosses inside these;
in the midst of tn ( s charmed circle tne
wood cutter lay down to sleep, aud at
miduight the demons came and tr.ed to
get at him, but in vain. At cockcrow
they all fled, aud he -et oft' home witu his
wood, all of a tremble trom ihe awlul
sights be nad seen.”
Genuine beltei in the supernatural is so
rare nowadays that it was a real treat to
hear our landlady’s earnest discouise ou
tne subject, and no mote advantageous
surroundings coutd be wished f r than
those wuioh we had. The room was dingy
anu dim with smoke from the embers and
from our tobacco. Mrs. Cross sat on a
low stool with one child between her
knees aud others crouching round, with
open terrified eyes. Her husband sat by
iu silence, aud orossed himself when bis
wits related unytuing which struck nim
as particularly dreadful. The room,
moreover, was only lighted in the feeblest
manner by a wick dipped into a loot
snaped receptamelor on, which was hung
to a stick which could be moved troui
one spot to another at will.
How France secured a Greek. Statue.
From the Fall Mall Gazette*
Visitors to tbe Louvre of late have
noticed a remarkable little marble statue
labeled “A V oung Athenian Girl.” Tne
story of its discovery and acquisition
lorms a curious page in tbe liist'U'y o! an
tiquities. A pea-ant ot i’utissia, while
digging in the fields, suddenly came across
an old statue. Knowing that tbe Greek
law lorbids tbe exportation of ancient ob
jects ol art found iu tbe country, aud that
toreign amateurs are always ready to pay
a high price lor them, be at once took it
home aud hid It under a neap of fagots.
He then went to tbe French Ambassador,
who was vyell known fur his love of such
relios, and offered it to him for 12,000
traucs. a „
Tne Ambassador repaired secretly to
the peasant's dwelling to examine It, and
fouiis It was a bona fide gem i the fourth
centpry. He telegraphed the discovery
to tbe French Minister of Flue Arts, who
authorized bun to close tbe bargain. But
i here Wti.4 a serious difficulty to over
ci>mo, ana that was to get it out of the
country without being detected by the
customs authorities. After some
reflection ttw Ambassador instructed tbo
peasant how to sot to work. lie was to
Hide thestatuh in a cartload ol vegetables,
drive dowu to a creek on the seashore,
where be would find a boat from the
French sloop stationed at the Pirmus
w siting to receive him. The job was per
formed successfully. The statue in tee
midst of the vegetables was shipped on
the boat and the 12,000 t. were banded to
tbe peasant oy the Captain as be Kit
the snore. Ou the arrival ot me statue
in i’nris it was placed in tbe Louvre, not
larfrum the turnons Venus of Milo, while
its discoverer, the poor Greek peasant, is
now leading the llte ot a small gentleman
farmer on tbe proceeds.
