A Brakrman'- ilravrry.
The N. T. Sun says : Charles Cran
dall, n brakeman on the Now York
and New Haven railroad, saved the
life of Man- B. .Tone-, In lYirtchester,
recently, at the Imminent, risk of ids
own.' Miss Jones, was crossing the
track, when she roeoguizcd an uc
quuiataueo in a little boy, and stop
ped to talk with him. lie was not on
the road bed, but Miss Jones stood
on the track, which wits troinbjing
with the approach of a Boston express
at full speed. A freight train stood
on the other through truck, and the
men were busy switching cars on a
side track, Crandall was on a freight
ear that was moving, and hearing the
exi>ress. shouted to Miss Jones to get
out of the way. Site seemed not to
hear, and continued her conversation.
Crandall jumped from the moving
car, and rau toward the woman, who,
too late to save herself, saw her dan
ger. “I thought, all of a sudden,
that I’d try,” said he afterward, in
relating the storvto his friends, ‘and
I knew that it must be an awful
quick try. She did not soe me
coming, but she just glanced over her
shoulder quick like, ami then shrunk
altogether with a sort of shudder, and
wnispered, T’m gone. 1 1 heard that
whisper, and it seems as though tho
engine might have heard it too. It
was about as near her OS l was. It
was which and tother between me
and the express.
The girl put her hands to her face
ana tottered backward. I just caught
her around the waist, and hugged her
off the track as the whole train hur
ried past. I looked on tho little wo
man, anti She was as pale as a ghost.,
and hardly breathed. Thou 1 was
afraid she would faint. But she open
ed her dyes, and stared into my face
in a wonderful way. just as one does
on waking from a sleep after being
sick and lightheaded. 1 think the
scare, itself, came near killing her.
She found out where she was quick
enough, and bounded away. 'Don’t
you ever come around this track
again.’ said I. Then she laughed,
nnd started for hones as she remark
ed, 'I think I shall remember this
time forever.' "

A young gentleman who attends
tho Austin public school had been
told that a sudden shock or fright
would euro the hiccough, and the
other evening, while lie wus studying
hts lesson for the morrow by draw
itig a picture of cne school ma’am on
his slate, his respected progenitor
was seized with a lit of nicuoughs.
The old gentleman was tilted back in
his chair, with his feet resting on
the top of the stove, and the young
hopeful concluded to try the cure on
him. Just as the old man was “rust
ling” With a heart-breaking hie, the
boy, jumped and yelled “Fire!" The
ohl man was just getting out cull
euh—, but lie never got it out. He
gave a jump, which tilted over the
chair, and. endeavoring to regain his
lost equilibrium, his feet (lew up
against the table, upsetting upon it,
and his head laade.l in the ashes on
the hearth. The old lady, hearing
the racket, came running in from the
kitchen and tripped over the old
man’s prostrate form, knocking down
a whatnot with a lot of glass and
china ornaments. When that boy's
father arose from the wreck and
shook the ashes and splinters of glass
out of his hair and clothes li wits
cured ofthe hiccoughs, but there was
ulook of sternness in his eve. He
can’t play tag now, and the hoy sits
on the edge of the scat at school, and
lies on his front when in bed, and
murmers that the old man can hic
cough his eonsarned old head off be
fore he will ever try to cure him.

When old Jesse Grant, the fat her of
his BxeeUeney Ulysses, was postmas
ter ut Covington, Ky„ a little boy en
tered his ofii'-c to get a ten dollar bill
changed. “Please, sir, eon yon change
a ten dollar bill for me?” lie asked.
“Yes, certainly, my little man,” said
the father of Ins son, producing a roll
of bills and proceeding to count out
the change. When about to hand it
over, he remarked to the boy, ”M>
son. do you know that you are talk
ing to the hither of the greatest man
the world ever saw y” The little fel
low started with amazement, exclaim
ing, "What! are you the father of
Stonewall Jackson ?” This was a set
tler to the old man. and with a gruff
“Get out!” he pocketed the hill and
disapiiearcd within his sanctum, fol
lowed by the shouts of the bystand
ers.
—lt is not always well to cause a
woman to bo arrested in the street
simply because you believe tier to Im*
t he same woman who may have stolen
what you missed from your shop so\
oral days before ; and the Paris shop
keciier, who had caused the arrest of
a lady in the street, reflected this
probably as he quailed before her
fierce indignation at the police suit ion
and saw suits for damages looming in
ms mind's eye, Horatio. Hut just as
they were about to dismiss her, some i
one noticed a piece of silk hidden on- 1
tier her shaw l , and in five minutes site
confessed herself a regular shop-lift
er.
