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." Farther Details of Hie chihuahua mas sacre. TRANSPORTING THE OSTRICHES. A Novel method of BlIudroldliiK-O*. trlcli-llatalng In the United States. 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. Fire Precantolnaln Theatre*.

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, and return to Congress a portion of Brown—“Did yon say, sir, that I the bill disapproved, as in cases of could lie as fast ns a horse could j veto; or, in the language of Mr. Mor ale proper study of mankind is j trot p r0 „_..jj o> B ir, I simply said i gan’s resolution, authorizing tbe woman. Woman"* too deep a s°tudj j that few horses could trot as fust as j President to veto part of an appropri- for anybody to undertake. [yon con lie;” Brown—“Oh!” 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, OUR HIGHEST GOOD.

I ation bill and approve the remainder. 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.
