It would be a curious catalogue tlmt would set forth the number of inventions that have been applied to rnilroads, for railroads have lx-t-u the prolific mother of a go .1 many contrivances, and have given inventors thousands of opportuni ties to i X. rt their genius and ingenuity. Tho next time yon are on ai>alaee draw ing-room ear or a sleeper, look about you n..d try to take an account of the patent arrangements that are applied to contribute to your comfort or tend to vour safety, from the Wcstinghouse air Wakes iuid the Miller buinjiera to tho little catch that holds the window eur- tain at your side. One of the latest iu- ventions and one that seems to ns could be made mtv useful, is called the ‘•Wythe Spied Recorder. ” It is named from its inventor, who is said to lmvo made and lost several fortunes in inven tions. A stock company owns this pat- ant. The machine makes an indisputa ble record of the movements of a train, end this record could lie used in evidence in eases of collisions and accidents. It is placed in the ealsaisc. A gear to the axle moves a roller, over which a paper, marked in small squares, runs. A jm-ii- eil is adjusted to the surface of this pa per, and when the axle turns, the paper is moved under its point and receives a mark. This pencil lias two movements, one lengthwise of the paper, showing distance, and a second crosswise on tho ]m|N>r, showing time. When the train is in motion the pencil mark is diagonally neros/tlie squares, and when at res*, the amrl/is up and down across tho squares. Tn^ingtnimeut records stops, hackings and all motions of the train. It tells how often, how fust and how far every move is made, and in cases of disputed evidence would do much towards fixing responsibility for accidents. It shows just how long the train stands at any p. lint, and is to a train what a log-book is to a ship.—h'/mira Fr< r J’rrss. A Tame Eagle that Worries Dogs. Some three months ago, while hunting in tho mountains east of the Twelve-mile House, Mr. Buffington captured a young American eagle. At the time the bird was quite small and from appearances but a few weeks old. Mr. Bntlington ‘ has liis jet confined in the yard baii of his shop, and the many and curious monkey.■'iiiiies indulged in by the moun tain bird are really amusing. Measuring some eight feet from tip to tip anil weighing forty pounds, with talons three inches in length, there is hut small elmnee for any dog's residing in the neighborhood. For as sure ns a canine makes his appearance, tho eagle spreads his heavy wings, and with a loud scream he lights U]K>u the hack of his terror- stricken, d-**. The scene that follows is one of great interest. The dog, without further notice, darts through the side gate and out into the street, with the eagle attached to his 1 .aek, and that too in a manner to stay. Down the street he goes at break-neck speed. At a distance of about two blocks the eagle bids the dog an affectionate adieu and quietly returns, ns though nothing had happened. The same experiment is gone through with whenever the dog can tie procured. It does not seem necessary to remark that dugs of any description are seldom seen in that part of the town, and the same dog never more than once. It would be a blessing to our city if we had one such bird on each blin k. It would save our ponnd-mnster much unnecessary trouble. —San Jose Mercury. Humor In tlie Family. Good humor is rightly reckoned a mast valuable aid to happy homo life. An equally good and useful faculty isa sense el humor or tho capacity to have a little fun along with the hnin-dnira of life. We all know how it brightens things up generally to have a lively, witty compan ion, who sees the ridiculous points of things, nnd who can turn any annoyance into an occasion for laughter. It does n great deal 1 letter to laugh over some do mestic mishnps than to cry or scold over them. Many homes nnd lives are dull lieeausc they are allowed to beoome too deeply impressed with a sense of the cares and responsibilities of life to recog nize its bright and especially its mirthful side. Into snob a household, good, but dull, the advent of a witty, humorous friend is like sunshine to a cloudy day. While it is oppressive to hear people constantly striving to say funny things, it is comfortable, seeing what n briglit- ener a little fun is to make, an effort to have some. It is well to turn off nil im patient question sometimes mid to regard it from a humorous point of view, instead of becoming irritated aliont it. “What is the reason I can never find a clean shirt?” exclaimed a good but rather impatient husband, after rummaging through the wrong drawer. His wife looked at him steadily for a moment, half inclined to lie provoked, then with a comical look, replied: “1 never could guess conundrums; I must give it up.” Then he laughed, and they both laughed, and she went and got his shirt, and ha felt ashamed of himself and ho kissed her, and then she felt happy; and so what might have been an occasion for hard words and unkind feelings became just the contrary, all through the little vein of humor that cropped out to the surface. Some children have a peculiar faculty for giving a humorpns turn to things when they are reproved. It does just as well oftentimes. Laughter is better than tears. Let us have a little more at home.

Americans In Europe. A correspondent writes to the Spring- field Republican: Tho majority of Americans, when thoy come to Enrope for tho first time, are always amazed at tho expense of foreign traveling. They had always harbored the impression that the cost of everything on this side of the Atlantic—railway tickets, hotel hills, eto., were at least only one-half what they were in America; but, on the con trary, they find it costs much more to travel here than it does at home. In the best American hotels the price of three and four dollars a day seems ex- aml lie | travagant, but they cannot comprehend why it is that in a first-class foreign ho tel* where tlie price of a room is only three or four francs a day, and tho other charges seem so moderate, their bills foot up to such high figures. Whilo taking my breakfast one morn ing at the Hotel Chatham in Paris, five Americans entered the dining-room and seated themselves at a table near mo. There was tlie father and mother, n hoii of about 14, and two daughters about 10 and 12. From their conversation I learned it was their first trip to Europe, and that they had come directly to Paris on lauding at Liverpool, and had no | hail a “square meal” since they left I home. After canvassing among them- j solves as to what their appetites craved 1 and demanded on the hill of fare, the head of tho family gave the ive plates of melon, which were then very ex pensive, five fried soles, five pots of cof fee, five liam and eggs, fried hominy, five beefsteaks, hot rolls, five fried pota toes, butter, radishes, etc. If they hod ordered two dishes of a kind, so gener ous was the supply, it would have lieen more than enough to satisfy their aiqie- titea ; but they were “Americans,” nnd evidently thought the reputation of their Amusing Provisions In Old Wills. A foreign review of a new lunik entitled’ “ Curiosities of the Search-Room: a Col lection of Serious and Whimsical Wills,” writes as follows: “The chapters on Eccentric Wills, on Vindictive Wills, and on Directions the following orde j. : for Burial contain some curious ulus- - - - - I trations of human frailty and folly. A J certain Dr. Ellcrby liequeaths his heart 1 . to one friend, his lungs to another, and ] | his brains to a third, declaring that if : they do not exeeutehis wishes with regard : to them he will come nnd torment them I ! ‘if it should Vie by any means possible.’ | Another testator, an American, requires : that his skin may be converted into two drumheads, upon which are to be in- , countrv ; in the’eves of other strangers scribed Pope s L ill versa! Prayer and tho Obstacles to . the Census in St. Louis. Fatty McMartin, the census-tnker, says that he was going up O'Fallon street, the other day, searching for names, and while engaged in that occupation he happened into a house where a colored man and woman were having a tight. They suspended hostilities upon the ap proach of the census man, and gazed with astonishment at him ami the liig covered liook which he carried. “What do you want?” tho colored man asked McMartin. “I am taking the census,” said Mc- Mnrtin. “I want your—” “You can’t git ours, kase wo ain't goi any,” said the colored mail. “Do you see dnt pot on dp stove yonder? Look into it. Yon do.’t see untilin’ in it, do you? I went to work on the levee ilis mnwnin’, and foe I lef I gib Julia a dol- lah an a qnator to git dinna wid.

Do you s’pose if I'd had sense I'd give her de dolla an' a quater?- I guess not” > The census man explained that it was not thnt- kind of senses thnt he was lonk- for, nnd tlie negro, upon the explanation, gave him their names.—St. Louis Re publican, Declaration of Independence; another American, a Now Yorker, leaves seventy- one pair of trousers, to be sold to tho highest bidder without examination, no purchaser Iming allowed to buy more tlmu one pair. In each pair was found a bundle of bank-notes representing a thousand dollars. A Frenchman insti tutes an annual race with pigs, to be rid den by boys or men, with a prize of £80 to the winner. A Baptist minister who died last year declares in his w ill that he thirsts to see the Church of England brought down, and desires all posterity to know that he believes ‘infant sprink ling to be from liis Satanic Majesty.’ Another dissenter, recently deceased, be queaths £20,000 iqmu trust for two nieces upon condition that neither of them ‘ marry a minister of the Estab lished Church, or a person holding any office or commission in her Majesty's army.’ “ Grotesque instructions with regard to the testator's body are frequent in wills. One man bequathed his body to the Im perial Gas Company, to be consumed to ashes in one of their retorts; and a New Y’ork spinster desired to employ all her money in building a church ‘ but stipu lated that her remains should lie mixed up in the mortar used for fixing the first stone.’ Some of the liequests in what the compiler call; ‘Vindictive Wills’ have In them a touch of lmmor. Thus the Fifth Earl of Pembroke writes: ‘I be queath to Thomas May, whose nose I did break at a masquerade, five shillings. My intention had lieen to give him more; lint all who have seen his “History of Parliament” will consider that even this sum is too large;’ and a certain Dr. Dun lop bequeaths to his brother-in-law Christopher his best pipe, out of grati tude that he married * my sister Maggie, whom no man of taste would have taken,’ alid to his eldest sister, Joan, his five- acre field’ ‘ to console her for being mar ried to a man she is obliged to heupeck. ’ ’ Skth Thomas Clocks, Rogers & Sons cutlery, McBride’s spoons, forts, castors, champion ice-cream freezers, library lamps, Dixon’s stove polish, Maddock & buns’ splendid English white "ritniie ware, all tried and prov en to be as good if not the best in the world furnished to the trade strictly at manufacturers prices by McBride & Co., Atlanta Ga. octlUw Prof tv! your little Ones.

Genius, when accompanied by right principles and self-control, is a more dangerous quality in a woman than a man. Nothing shows this more plainly than tho life of Lady Caroline .Lamb. No one was mor«j fully alive to her faults than she was herself. When the Hon. William Lamb, then Lord Mel bourne, laid his heart and fortune at her Vet, she refused him, saying that she *-as afraid that lior violent temper would wreck their happiness. Again, however, he proposed, and tl is time, nnfortn- natelyfor herself, lie was accepted. Lady Oarolino'a fear that she could not con trol her temper was by no means ground less. At tho marriage ceremony she was seized with a fit of passion, nnd she thus afterward described her behavior: “I stormed at the Bishop, tore my valuable dress to pieces, and was carried nearly insensible to tin- carriage which was to convey me forever from my home.” Lady Caroline was certaimynt times not quite sane. Lord yiflliourno made her a far better lipjrcuid than most men would hiivoMdrie ; and though at last ho was olriMed to ooparato from her lie stilj-ji-tjfljilau lection of his old affec- Withent nbdoivahiing intellect, we think that no one will be inelined to deny that both in men and women the qualities of the heart are far more im portant than those of the head, and we caijlHit do better thiui eoueluile with tho following lines of the Into Canon Kingsley, addressed to voung gills, and which hoar closely on tliis subject: good, fUkeot maid, ami Irt who will he clevor; I>o noble thing*, not dream them all day long; go making life, death and thut vawt forever, Ofte grand, rwuet nong. —Chambers’ Journal. A Luckless Tramp. Some time ago a tramp got into the fire ■ox of a stationary engine that was being -Lipped on a fiat car to the Pacific coast, liy some freak of misfortune to him a careful brakeinau dosed the furuace-door o;i him, and the solitary picnicker was al me with his conscience and a few friends that had come along with him to represent the National Bug Bureau. At first he thought it was a joke, nnd he laughed a smothered, hysterical laiu'.li. Imt p.s tho hours dragged on nnd he didn't know whether it was day or night or whether it was the Fourth of July i r eternity, he concluded to attrnct (he atteution of the outside world, so he pounded on the inside of liis cage till his and- ached. He might as well have tried to get out of a tire and burglar proof safe with a corkscrew. One day, through curiosity, a railroad boy opened the door of the engine fur nace and looked in. The broad sole of an "Id boot was turned up at the door, and tin* brukeman took hold of it and smiti-lied it ont. It was followed by an aiii-uuated piece of humanity, that rat ted around on the car like an old urn I.rellu. The bystanders reviewed him and .aski d him if lie didn't feel hungry. He said he did feel a kind of goneness in the gastric regions. An old man. who was then acting treas- nr« r of the Irish Relief Fund, took the job of tilling him up. Thnt is the reason why Ireland missed tho beneficial effects of tlie relief fund for several months, n a lime w-lieu she needed it worst.—Den r Tribune. A Celestial Revelation. Mr. Goober—as the stow goes—lived in the Mormon country. "He had but one wife, and never thought of taking any more till one day an elder told him it was his religious duty to seal unto himself a few others. Mr. Goolicr went heme nnd sadly informed his wife of wlint the elder had said, and Mrs. Goober said she laid no objection, provided the elder would come round and arguo the ease with her piously. Goolier told the elder, nnd the elder dropjied around. He smiled sweetly ns Mrs. Goober advanced to meet him. Tlie next thing he knew he was skipping around the room with his coat slit up the back and his hat knocked into pi, while Mrs. Goolier wielded the broomstick. He finally jumbal out of a window, and escaped with his life, as wider and a wiser man. Tlie next time ho met Goolier he told him he had hail a celestial revelation by which Goober was relieved from the ne cessity of taking any more wives—Mrs. Goober would count for almost 1,000 in the New Jerusalem. Chasing Reindeer. On our way north, we had telegraphed to Hammcrfest to send down from the hills a given number of Lapps and rein deer, ns per order, fertile benefit of such of our passengers as laid not yet seen either, the money for the show being in trusted to the Captain. Unluckily, the steamer arrived late; tlie Lapps, getting tired of waiting, went off into the mount ains again, and the deer, finding nobody to attend them, wandered away toward the upland pastures. Thus, when we landed, our “view of a Lapp encamp ment” was like the Irishman's picture of Israel crossing the Red Sea,” in which nothing was visible but the sea itself, the Egyptians being all drowned and the Is raelites gone by.

While the rest of the party amt hush behind a rock, the Captain and I strip to our shirts anil trousers and start off at full speed round the elbow of tlie ridge, to head the deer back.

At last I caqie out upon the higher end of the gully, with my bare feet bleeding at every step; but between me and the deer lies a broad sheet of hard snow, and before I can cross it the wary herd have taken the alarm.

A German physician has started pleasing theory with regard to insanity. It is, he thinks, a mistake to look upon it as nn unmitigated evil. It is in uinn.v cases a Ihmui rather than the re vels,- to tlie person immediately affected. Tin; loss of reason lands the sufferer from a sen. of trouble into one of comparative calm—often into one of decided hnppi- ness; and attempts to restore such a per se:, to sanity would lie cruel rather tlinn kio.l. Moreover, he insists thnt without i e rt'iin amount of insanity, success in life, in the ordinary acceptation of tho term, is quite impossible. All “emi nent men,” he contends, are decidedly nu -re or less mad. Many of them are dime crons monomaniacs, whom it would lie desirable on public grounds to shut n; . nt who, nevertheless, achieve grand ear -rsuud lire credited with doing a vast at*- • of good. This false notion he at:- • ,t.-s to the fact that the greater in of'mankind are also insane and qu;;.- nimble to distinguish between good and evil. Whole nntious are, he says, oeaa-ionally seized, like individual per- - a. with attacks of madness, and, led by eminent madmen, either destroy tin mselves or their neighbors These paroxosma are, he admits, undoubtedly dangerous, but when madness is blended with just sufficient self-control to keep it within liounds and prevent it from be traying itself, it displays itself in nosv- ercise immense influence over liis fellow- creatures, Cc-o —1 1 M CFO cs i zzs cso sc CO GSk •r? * GO U_9 CO UJ jjjjj LXJ 1 CO l-S-Ss 1 Clarke County Sheriff Sale.
