UNDCRTHC COW-CATCHER, HownlTrampStol. hi. Rid. From Chav tanooga to Dalton. The many precarious places in whi'-li tramps often secrete themselves on trains, in order to steal a ride, la a matter of wonder even to tho most venturesome. They will hang on brake beam, ride astraddle of the ham per*, orcntwl in among the tracks of a train at the imminent danger of being ground to mince-meat. But the re cent ride of one of theae itinerant indi viduals from Chattanooga to Dalton, on a night passenger train, leads the record of perilous feats and dangerous trips. In order to effectually conceal himself from the watchful vigilance of the train crew and obtain free passage, the tramp boldly crept nnder the cow catcher and secured a hold upon the two iron crou-beams that support the pilot, and in this position, with the train thundering along at atcrrillc rate red, he rode to Dalton.

A TOUCH YARN, But a Tru. On., Cono.rnlna a Lost Sto.r. Tho following remarkable story was told by two couth men of umloiilitcl veracity, yet they would not vouch for tho truth of it: A gentleman living about two miles from the city has a large pile of oat straw- in his field. A negro living near lost an ox, and for weeks could not find him. One day seeing, from n distance, that quito a number of cattlo hod gathered around tho straw pile, he went there hoping to find his long lost steer. In walking over tho pile ho felt something move under his feet, and upon digging down, great was his surprise to find his identical bovine, happy, fat and healthy. Tho ox had eaten his way to tho middle of tho straw pile from the outside, and hod proceeded to eat all around until ho had mado himself rootnv nnd comfortable apartments, safe from the observation of the world and free from tho burdens of task master.—America* Bepublican.

IF WOMEN COULD INVENT. THE BIRDS ON THE BATTERY. Steam Flre-Enalmi Used to Drive Off th* Swarm, of Swallow.. Charleston News and Courier. The municipality of Charleston com menced last night vigorous war upon the birds on the battery. Last year, it will be remembered, the contract to exterminate drive out the swallows was leased to a well-known local nlrnrod, who. it appears, succeeded in gaining s temporary victory over the feathered enemy by the skillful use of a double-barrel shotgun, in which noiseless powder and email shot were used. The swallows, however, have either forgotten their rongh treatment of last year, or pos ibly a new generation has grown up, and they have bad possession of the trees at White Point Garden ever since the weather made the city inhabits ble for swallows. At the last meeting of city council the committe on pleaanre grounds of the lower wards—a complaint having been made— were directed to take whatever steps they might deem necessary to abate the nu isance, and It was In pursnance of these Instructions that the committee last night began the war of extermination. Engine No. 2. with Its hose carriage and the depart- mentsuuply wagon, was ordered to report on tiouth Battery promptly at 8 o'clock, and at that hour the apparatus and the men were there. Chief O'Neill superintended the opera tion and Alderman Huger and Redding were present, commanding the battle In person. The idea was to wash out the birds. Jast before dark the swallows be gan to appear. They came In myriads and alter ho7erfng around and evidently vie sing the unusual spectacle of a steam engine, settled down to rest with much clattering nnd chirping. Tnls wbb kept up for alniil fifteen uuimtee, and then there was a lull. The whole floex seem to select the tr- es on the eastern portion of the gur den east of the Jasper monument. A half- dozen policemen were then sent to warn the people olTtheBward, Two hundred d fifty feet of hoso with en Inch nozzle was unreeled and without any further ado a solid stream of water was ned on tns astonished birds. With one accord and without murmur or complaint the whole family arose in the air nnd set sail across the bay fur fames Island, where it is to be hoped they will remain. The number ot birds killed by the stream was not reported. The Idea seems to be least ble, but of course a swallow is not expect ed to give up ils favorite roosting place for one drenching, and in order to be sue- cesefnl the operatton.il have to be re peated nightly for some time. til la Tha Ilia nnd Mlsfoi tunas Th., MlshtOv.r- com*. Chicago Lodgor. It scorns a little singular that tho re cords of our Patent Ofllco contain but alight sprinkling of names Indicating tho feminine gender. It looks ns though all the heavy thinking was be ing Bhouldored on to us poor men, and It is high time somebody was raising fuss about tho matter, and insisting that, if woman expects to vote, she must keep up with her end of the dou ble-tree. But whether it Is on account of tho brain-blistering tendency of back hair, interference with the proper cir culation ot tho blood by tight lacing and Sunday evening courtship, hot irons and bangs, or wearing shoes smaller than tho feet, we don’t know, hut it looks as though there was chance for philosophy to do a littlo missionary work at home, before it goes to the sky in search of steady em ployment.
