Railroad Record.
The mixed freight and passenger
train on the Brnnswiok and Albany
Railroad doesn’t rnn very fast. It
isn’t in the order of things that it
shonld, and there is sometimes growl
iog among the Georgia crackers, but
the conductor generally gets away
with them, although sometimes be
meets with more than his match. For
instance:
“Are we most there, conductor ?”
asked a Dorvous mnu, for the hun
dredth time. “Remember my wife is
sick, and I’m anxious!"
“We’ll get there on time,” stolidly
replied the conductor.
Half an hour Liter the nervous man
approached him again.
“I guess she’s dead now,” be said
mourofnlly, ftmt I’d give, you a little
something extra if yon could manage
to catch up with the funeral. Maybe
she won’t be so decomposed but that
I could recognize her.”
The conductor growled at him, and
the man subsided. ^
“Conductor,’’ ’said he, after
hour’s silence, “if the wind isn’t dead
ahead, I wish yon would put on more
steam. I’d like to see where my wife
is buried before the tombstone crum
bles to pieces. Pnt yourself in my
place for a moment or two.”
“The conductor shook him off, and
the man relapsed into profound mel
ancholy.
“I say, conductor,” said he, after a
long pauso, "I’ve got a note coming
duo in three months. Can’t you fix
it so as to rattle along a little ?”
“If you come near mo again I’ll
knyck you down,” snorted the con-
dnetor savagely.
The nervous man regarded him
sadly, and went to his seat.
Two hours later the conductor saw
him chatting gaily and laughing
heartily with a brother victim, nnd
approached him.
“Don’t feel so badly about your
wife’s death ?”
"Time heals all wounds,” sighed
the nervous man.
“And you are not so particular
about the note?” sneered tbe conduc
tor.
“Not now. That’s oil right. Don’t
worry. I’ve been figuring up, nnd I
find that the note has outlawed since
I spoke to you last."

Washington, Dec. 8.—A telegram
from Albuquerque, New Mexico, gives
what is probably auother version of
trie Indian outrage story from Chi
huahua, telegraphed last night. It is
as follows:
“A dispatch from Chihuahua, Mexi
co, says: ‘The recent massacre in Cas-
sns Grandes by Indians proves to
have been a horrible affair. A band
of Apaches, numbering fivo hundred,
crossed the border and descending
upon the little town, began an indis
criminate luassnere. Fully seventy-
five persons fell victims, nnd several
girls and women were carried ofi by
the savages. A large quantity of
stock nnd other property was stolen.
The houses of the unfortunate Mexi
cans were burned, and the dead bod
ies stripped of tbeir clothing and jew
elry. Tho murdered persons were
among the wealthiest classes, severnl
of the most promiuent frmilies being
among tbo victims. Troops have been
dispatched to tho scene, but tbo Indi
ans have a long start, and their cap
ture is not expected’.”
New York Bun.
Dr. Protheroe carried an aruiful of
long stockings iqto the deer' but at
Central Park yesterday morning, and
begun blinding the twenty-two os
triches. He seized one after another
by the necks, and dexterously slipped
tue stockings over tbeir beads. When
they were blinded they kept up a sort
of nervous dauce. Ostriches are said
to imagine themselves invisible when
they cannot see. The birds which
were yesterday pulled nnd shoved
about while blindfolded must have
been disabused of this fancy.
When nil were blinded, Dr. Vroth-
eroe nnd Mr. Sketchley, the maunger
of the ostrich farm to be established
in California, laid hold each of a wing
of on* bird. A third person shoved
behind, and tbe bird was forced out
of tbe enclosure and up au inclined
plane into a big van tbnt wns in wait
ing. This process was repeated with
each bird. The van was lined with
cushions. The twenty-two birds
filled it completely. The stockings
were taken off in the van, nnd it
moved toward tbe Erie Railway Fer
ry. It was followed by another van
containing straw, twelve barrejs of
turnips, half a ton of corn, some oil
cake, and the salt, pebbles, and chop
ped bones required by the delicate di
gestive organs of tbe ostrich. At tbe
railroad depot tho birds were trans
ferred to a car boarded off into three
compartments. No accident occurred
during tbo transfer.
Tbe farm in California consists of
800 acres, about seventy-five miles
4joutb of San Francisco, and tbe cost
of taking the ostriches thither from
Now York is $2,000.

Senhtor George, of Mississippi, in
troduced a joint resolution in tbo
Senate on Tuesday that shonld be
adopted. Wo allude to bis resolution
for an amendment to tbe United
States Constitution, providing tliAt in
appropriation bills the exact amount
of i ach appropriation und the pur
poses for which it is made shall be
stated, and that no extra compensa
tion shall be granted to any public
contractor, officer, agent or servant
after the making of contract on tbe
rendering of service, and that tbo
President way approve and disap
prove appropriations in tbo same bill,

On Nov. 20, James Bradley, a ne
gro, living at Bell’s Ferry, Pitt coun
ty, N. C-, disappeared, nnd nil search
ior him proved fruitless. He was
about to marry a woman of tbnt sec
tion, when two women came from
Hyde county, each of whom dechtr -d
she wns Bradley’s wife. These devel
opments broke off the marriage, nud
threw Bradley into a fit of rage and
despnir. He went to the cotton gin
bouse while tbe laborers were at din
ner, it is thought, and threw himself
into the Lalf-filtod box in which the
cotton wns packed into bales. When
tbe laborers relumed, the box wus
filled and tbe bale pressed, bagged
and sold. In a few days it was ship
ped to Greenville. There a grader,
cutting into it, found n shoe. This,
to bis horror, be found to contain a
foot. Tbe bnle was torn apart by tbe
crowd, when the body of Bradley wns
exposed, pressed flat, and with the
bead crushed to n jelly. Tho evidence
showed that the negro, declaring be
would end his life, took several drinks
and then threw himself into the
press. The case excites unusual and
wide-spreml excitement. It was lit
first stated that Bradley lmd been
thrown into the press, but this was
proved to lie false, although tho labor
ers were all discharged.
The editor of the Augusta Chronicle
says it doesn’t pay to eat twenty-five
cent possums at the expense of ten-
dollar trees, and thinks a law should
prevent tbe destruction of timber by
possum hunters.
Since the burning of tbe Park The
atre, in New York, a special official
examination of tbe theatres in the
city has been made, with reference to
the security of au. audience in case of
a fire on tbe stage daring the per
formance. Not nil tne theatres have
yet hern examined, But the reports in
the cnseFof eighteen, including most
of the principal ones, show that there
»rt> hat two among them which have
complied with tbe requirements con
sidered to be essential by the Inspec
tor of the Bureau of Building. These
conditions nre a fire-proof wall divid
ing the stage from the auditorium
and extending through tbe roof, am
ple machinery for quickly drenching
tbe stage nnd scenery with water, nnd
large skylights above the stage, so ar
ranged tbnt they may be conveniently
opened by hand from tbe stage, or
will open automatically by tbe cut
ting or burning of a hempen cord.—
This last provision is to secure u
draft away from tbo auditorium.—
With theBO features, the inspector
says there would bo no occasion for
panic on nccount of a fire on tbe
stage, tbe audience could remain in
tbeir seats aud see it burn. The two
theatres that were found satisfactory
i* these particulars are Wallack’s
new thentre at Broadway and Thir
tieth streets. Hud Harrigan nnd Hart’s
new tbentre at 730 Broadway. As for
the rest, they are supplied with some
of these conditions of safety, Lut are
deficient in others. The inspector
says tbe reports plainly show tbe
need of a new buildiDg law,

The heaviest burden you carry is
not anxiety for yourself, but for an
other. That means that yon must do
yonr part in making tbe heaven you
hope to enter.
The proper time for yon to repair
an error is the moment yru see it wn?
an error. A false pride of slimne
makes you delay—tbe result is that
the hearts of both the offended nnd
the offending parties *• ardeu.
One “plan” for raising money for
tbe support of the gospel inay he bet
ter than another, but it is always best
to work a plau thoroughly a'ter you
have ndopted it. A bad “plan" well
worked is better than a good one not
worked at all.
Beware of encouraging wbn* indis
poses to prayer, goiag to tbe audience
chamber with soiled garments, tbe
din of tbe world following yon, its
districting thoughts hovering unfor
bidden over yonr spirit. Can you
wonder that the living waters refuse
to flow through obstructed channels,
or tbe heavenly light to pierce murky
vapors ?—Macduff.
What is needed among tbe advo
cates of moral reform in these United
States is common sense in tbe leader
ship as well as enthusiasm in tbe
masses. Hot-headed blundering will
be a long time winning tbe fight
against cool-headed, cold-hearted
cunning and greed.
The man who studies how be may
“skimp” in his contributions to
Christianity should make a' special
study of the Bible with reference to
Christian beneficence. That would
open to him a world of new ideas, and
if he would walk in the light thus dis
covered, a world of new joys.
In trying to solve tbe grave negro
problem, let the white people re
member that the African race is in
tbe highest degree imitative. What
tbe forty*five millions of whites are,
will go far to determine wbat tbe six
million of blacks will be.
Tbere is scarcely to be fonnd a
more common or a more burtfpl pop
ular error than that of granting great
er license of bad living to men of
shining talents. Almost the entire
decalogue can be scouted by n brill
iant scoundrel or debauchee ia the
ranks of polities or literature. Tbe
correction of this error must be ef
fected '.by tbe press, tbe pulpit and
good women.
That covetousness is a more
abounding sin in this land and age
than even intemperance, we shall not
stop to prove. Any who may ask
proofs of it show that they have made
vory scanty observation of the moral
condition of tbe country. Not only
does it pervade “the world” oatside
tbe churches—it is a deadly riot in
tbe churches themselves. So low have
we got that tbe right of man to give
his whole energy to getting money
for money’s sake is no longer ques
tioned outside the pulpit, and rarely
enough in it.
Once I saw a young lad’s Bible.—
His nnme was on the fly leaf, then fol
lowed a text of Scripture, chapter and
verse, and underneath that the words,
“This is the verse for me.” What a
blessed thing it is when tbere to some
verse of tbe Bible of which yon am
say, “This to my verse! It is tbe star-
lamp that led me to tbo Saviour.”—
Whenever you see that star you will
rejoice with exceeding joy. You have
only to follow it, and it will lead you
on to where Jesus to in his eternal
kingdom.
