Flogrgwi wr not Flagging.
A few engineers and flagmen wore
sitting oronnd n coil of stenm pipe in
the ronnd-honso telling their yarns.
Among thorn was a palo yonng mnn who
had lost his health in a dry goods store
and had just engaged us an extra
fireman.
"I never was so mad,” said hig Bill
Dempsey, “as I was when I licked
,Tim Ransom fur not flaggin’ mo.”
"When was that ?” askod one of the
firemen.
"Le’s see." said Bill thoughtfully,
“that wus in ’79—the year they put in
the Clarion side track,”
"For what oflenoo did yon punish
him?" asked the palo young man.
“How?"
“What did you whip him for?”
“Wall,” said Bill, “tho confunded
ejiot stopper! down in tho Kewanco hol
ler, an’ never sent no man hack to flag'
me. I wus a cornin' down tho hil^
lickety-split when I seen Lis wny car
I had the old '70,' with twenty-four
ears, an’ I hadn’t no idee I could stop
’or, but I flung ’er over an’ givo ’or tho
plug fur all she sun worth. I tore her
old fire all out, but 1 got Yr by tho nerk
all the same. Hho stopped within throe
feet of Jim Ransom’s way-car. Thun
der an' sour milk, but I was mad! Jim
was standin’ there, as rattled ns a
woman on a crossin’, an'I says: ‘You
infernal ejiot, why didn’t you send
noltody back to flag nie ?' ‘By gosh,
Bill,’ says Y, ‘I’ll be darned if I didn’t
furgit it.’ ‘Oh, yon did, oh?’ says T, an’
I jumped down out o’ the gangway an'
give him the eternnlest wallopin he
ever got,’ ’’
“Why did yon not report him to tho
superintendent, nud have him removed
for such gross carelessness?” asked tho
pale young man.
“Bay, look a-liere, yonng feller, I’ll
givo yon a dead straight, pointer,” re
plied Bill. “ If you’re coming on this
road with them sort o’ ideas, tho quicker
you don’t oomo tho better fur you. If
it's good health yon want, you just rent
out them air notions to some fuller with
kid gloves. Yes, I’d look pretty, I
would, a-goin’ an’ reportin' a man that
got a family to take care of, an' have
’im throwod out of a job in tho dead o’

Making Ice Cream Willi Snow.

At Miss Par Ion's school for cooking in
New York, tho articles cooked and
servod before tho class were ico cream,
quiuco iced pudding, jellies in baskets
and other ways, and Swiss pudding with
creamy sauce. Miss I’arloa opened tho
lesson with orange jelly. While tho
jolly was oookiug tho lecturer prepared
Swiss pudding, which she stated was a
most delicate kind of batter pudding.
The preparation of a gallon of excel
lent ice cream in half an hour's time wns
a noteworthy fenturo of tho lesson. Miss
Parloa took throe pints of cream and a
oup and a half of sugar, which sho beat
to a cream with n churn, ndding for
flavoring a tablespoonful of vanilla.
When the' whole was stiff tho croam was
put in the cau of the freezor. Miss
Parloa here explained that cream may
be too rich ns well as too poor to bent

Messrs. Editors: Tho upper portion of Ver

America during the summer and one of the
bleakest during the winter. It affords ample
opportunity for the tourist, providing he
chooses tho proper season, but the present
time )r not that season. Htill there are men
and women here who not only endure the
climate, but praise it unsttntingly, and (hat,,

Illustration of this a few days sinoe which is
given herewith:
Mr. Joseph Jacques is connected with the
Vermont Central railroad in the cajiacity of
muster mason. He is well advanced in years,
with a ruddy complexion aud bale np|iear-
ance, while nis general liearing is such as to
instantly impress one with his strict honor
and integritv. Several years ago he became
afflicted with most distressing troubles,
which prevented the prosecution of his du
ties. Ho was languid, and yet restless, while
at tin es n dizziness would come ovor him
which seemed almost blinding. His will
power was strong, nnd ho determined not to
give way to the mysterious influence which
seemed undermining his life. But the pain
and annoying symptoms wore stronger than
his will, and he kept growing gradually
worse. About that time bo liegan to noticoa
difficulty in drawing on Ids lioots, and it was
by the greatest, effort that be was able to
force Ills feet into them, in this manner sev
eral weeks ]iassed by, until finally one night,
while in great agony, bo discovered that bis
feet hnd, ill n short, while, swollen to enor
mous proportions. Tho balance of the narra
tive can nest be dofcrilied in bis own words.
He shM :
“ When my wife discovered the fact that I
was so bloated, she sent for tho doctor im
mediately. He made a most careful ex
amination and pronounced me in a very norl-
ous condition. Notwithstanding ids care, I
grow worse, ami the swelling of my feet
gradually extended upward iu my body. The
top of my head |>aine<l me terribly: indeed, so
badly that at times it seemed almost os if it
would burst. My feet were painfully cold,
nnd even when surrounded with hot nnnnels
and rons felt as if a strong wind were blowing
on them. Next my right log became
par ah Bed. This gave me no i*in. but it was
exceedingly annoying. About tins time 1 lie-
gmi to spit blood most freely, although my
lungs were in jierfect condition, and I knew
it ilid not come from them. My physiciaus
were enreful and untiring in their attentions,
but unnble to relieve my sufferings. My
neighbors and friends thought I was dy
ing and many < ailed to soe me, fully twenty-
five on a single Sunday that I now recall. At
last my agony seemed to culminate in the
most intense, sharp pains I have ever known
or heard of. If red hot knives sharpened to
the highest, degree had lieen run through my
body constantly they ooulil not have hurt
me worse. 1 would spring up iu bod, some
times as much ns three feet, cry out in my
agony nnd long for death. One night the
misery was so intense that I arose and at
tempted to go into the next room, hut was
(inutile to lift my swollen fret above the little
threshold that iinstructed them. 1 fell hack
upon the tied and gas|>ed in my agony, but
felt unable even to breathe. It seemed like
donth.
"Several years ago Rev. Dr. J. E. Rankin,
now of Washington, was stationed here as
pastor of the Congregational church. We
all admired anil respected him, and my wife
remembered Reelng somewhere that no hod
spoken in the highest terms of a preparation
which buil curedsoiueof his intimate friends.
We determined to try this remedy, accord
ingly sent for It. and, to make a long story
short, it completely restored my health,
brought ine back from the grave, and 1 owe
all I have in the way of hSRltli nnd strength
to Warner’s Safe Cure, better known as
Warner's Hufo Kidney and Liver Cure\ i
am positive that if I had taken this medicine
when l felt the first symptoms aliove de
scribed, I might have avoided all the agony
1 afterward endured, to say nothing of the
narrow esca|si I hod from death.”
In order tlmt all possible facts bearing upon
tiie subject might be known, 1 culled on Dr.
Oscar K. Bassett, who was for nineteen years
United .Stales examining surgeon, and who
nttendud Mr. Jacques during his sickness.
He stated that Mr. Jacques had a most pro
nounced case of Albuminuria or Bright’s
diseu e of the kidneys. That an analysis
showed tiie presence of albumen aud casts in
great abundance aud that be wus in a con
dition where fiwifany ever recover. His
recovery was due to Warner’s Safe Cure.
Mr. John W. Hobart, general manager of
the \ ermont Central i ailrond, stated that Mr.
Jacques wus one of the best and most faith
ful of his employes, that hi.s sickness hnd iieon
an exceedingly severe one und tho company
were not only glad to again have his services,
but grateful to the remedy that bad cured so
valuable a man.

dentaml master mechanic of tha Vermont
Central railroad, is also able to confirm (Ids.
1 do not claim to be a great discoverer, but
I do think 1 have found in tho above a most
remarkable case, and knowing tiie unusual
inornate of Bright’s disease feel that the pub
lic should have the benefit of it. It seems to
me a remedy that can accomplish so much in
the last stages ought to do even more for the
first appri ach of this deceptive yet terrible
trouble. F. B.

1 Little Mlaereet.
A Dead wood correspondent says : An
oocurrenoe is now the talk of the town,
end has given rise to a ooutroveny and
bickerings that many days will not heal.
The editor of a Deadwood daily took a
brief vacation—for tha benefit of his
health, I presume—supplying the va
cancy with a sub recently tom the east,
who, although a good jou na ut, scarce
ly understood the customs of the ooun
try or the proprieties of the offloe, as
evidenced by the appearance in the .very
first issue of the paper under tha tem
porary regime of a strong artiole against
gamblers and gambling—one of the not
leaat important "industries” of the oity.
It was neither a vindictive nor personal
artiole, nor one of particular local appli
cation ; but it was sufficient to raise the
ins of the sporting fraternity, or at
least of a certain few, who prompt
ly declared an intention of boycotting
the offloe and of never forgiviug the par
ties responsible for the distasteful pub
lication. On the following day a col
umn communication appealed in a rival
sheet, over the signatures of prominent
gamblers, anathematizing the paper and
proprietors that had given offense, and
attempting to justify their “business”
by comparing its character now with
what it was in early days, when “tho
oamp was infested with sharpers, and
where all games were crookedand de
claring that oard playing was no worse
than ohuroh-fair lotteries and kindred
enterprises. This short-sighted illusion
aroused the ill-will of numerous old-time
sporting men, still residents of the oity,
and tho clergy. The former are more
indignant than the class first offended.
In foot, thore is a breach in the ranks
that will not speedily close, and rich de
velopments are expected. A number of
communications from the clergy havo
appeared, with more to follow. In short,
there is war all along the line, and all
growing out of a little indiscretion upon
the part of a generous brother of tlio
quill, who hod kindly, volunteered his
services for the occasion
