The superintendent of the division, a buoyant, lightospirited young gentleman. came over the road at frtquent intervals and cheered me up with promises of a better po- sition when a vacancy should occur. He often found me on the very brink of despair, almost on the point of resigning my position and returning to my humble home and the mother who depended on my salary for the necessaries of life ; but his promises. his gen- ial conversation and words of encouragement drove away the gloom, and I came to look for he Viiics With a sense of the keenest pleasure, I began to regard him with a sis‘ terly afi‘ection, he was so I(ind and tender and solicitous for my welfare and comfort.

One night, shortly after midnighb, as I nan at my table reading a late novel, I thought I heard a shufliling footsteps on the depot; platform, but; as it was not repeated I concluded it was but) a wolf more daring than his cowardly fellows, \nd I resumed my book.

He he seen my face he might have noticed a total absence of tears. I was crying for a purpose. When my arms dropped upon the table I allowed my hands to fall upon the armature of the telegraph instrument so that I could stop it trom ticking, while my right hand rested upon the key. “ Whoâ€"hemâ€"thlnâ€"forâ€"heaven ’aâ€"aske â€" reportâ€"toâ€"unlnâ€"dlsputoher-atâ€"Lum Inkâ€"quickâ€"thnâ€"Iâ€"unâ€"inâ€"thoâ€" land A few moments lanai- I heard a low knock- ing at the door, which I always kept locked, and a. strange feeling came over me. Dur- ing my several weeks’ stay at the station I had never had a. visitor, and the sudden knock, so low. yet so startlingly clear in the stillness of the night, caused my form to trexnhle and my cheek to blench. I knew they could find the lamp easily by searching for it and in a trembling voice I told him it was hanging just inside the door of the freight-room. One of the men got it and after examining it to see that it was in order the rough bend took seats to await the ingeming of the train. What could I do? It was yet three hours until the train was due, but I could not elude my captors to arouse the section men and I knew by the gleam in the leader’s eye through the holes in his mask that if I made the least outcry he would not hesitate to carry out his throat and murder me. Sobbing so that auy alight clicking the key mig ht make would not reach the robbers, I opened it and slowly made telegraph char actors: These I repeated several times, hoping they might reach the ear of some operator on the line. I then slowly and distinctly wrote these words! etill sobbing vlolenhly: While in a small town in Wyoming terri- tory, says a writer in the Baltimore “News," I learned that a lady living there had been the heroine of a thrilling adventure with train-robbers, and curiosity and love for the brave induced me to call on her to tell me the story. When I went: to her house I was welcomed by a handsome lady 01 30, and in response to my earnest request: for this one chapter of her life she related the following true tale : No. 4 express train, bound cast. was due at 2:15 in the morning, but. it never stopped unless signaled, and as this was the only train during the latter portion of the night you can imagine my lonely situation upon the desert wild. I had my books and guitar as companions and passed much of the time reading, and when the doleful howlings of the wolves were borne to my ears from the distant and hills I would pick up my guitar and endeavor to drown their cries with mu- sio_and song. In 1873, when but a girl cf 18, I left; my home in Omaha and came one here to fill the lonesome position of night operator at a small station on the Pacific railway in this territory. It was a dreary, desolate spot, in the midst of a desert. A chill of honor swept over me when the truth burst upon me that; I was in the hands of a band of desperate train-robbers whose evident intention was to signal the train and rob the express-oar at my station. The only buildings at the station, apart from the depot. were a section house. occu- ied by a track foreman and a few Chinese aborera, a water-tank, and a coal-shed. The day operetor and agenf, a mere boy, slept at the section-house, about 200yurdsdietant, so that during the long. dreary night: 1 was 31996 in the depot. . . . 1 My first: thonght was of Indians, and then I reasoned that it; might be some tramp de- siring shelter. Whi‘e I sat there in afiright, the knock was repeated louder than before, and, mastering all my courage, I approach- ed the door ani asked: "Who’s there?’, A gruff voice replied: “A traveler who desires to take the east- bound train." It was my plain and unmistakable duty to admit him, and. with trembling fingers I drew the bolt. Instantly the door was pushed violently open andl sprang back to the table and sank into my chair in terror, when seven burly men, wearing cloth masks on their faces and armed to the teeth entered the amoe. One of them, evidently the leader, walked up to me, and pointing a. large re- volver at my head, said ina low, firm Voice : " Gal. we don‘t want to hurt you, but if vou make a suspicious move, or scream, or give any alarm, so that any 0' the men in the section house kin hear you, I’ll spile the looks 0’ that pretty face with a bullet.

When I regained consciousness I was lying in my room at Green River, with several ladies around me, and was told that seven days had elapsed since the capture of the robbers. I was suffering from brain fever brought on by the terrible strain 0 had passed through, and had been uncon- scious for that long period. For many days therefore I hovered on the border between life and death, and the superintendent wns at my bedside several times every day, cheering me up with words of encourage- ment, and doing all in his power to alleviate my_s1_1fl’erings. “ Well, what are they !" inquired the old mn9,_impa§iegtly. Oh. how eagerly my ears drunk in every word the luatrume nt ticked out I I heard a telegram to the sheriff of Green River, twenty miles west, asking him to arm a posse of men at once and get on board a special train which would be ready for him.

May 30.â€"A remarkable incident happened to the Canadian Paoifi: r-ilway near M110, near the State line, on Sunday, being no lers than the blocking of the line on that section by a gigantic army of smell grey caterpillars. They first made their appearance on Saturday night, and were met by s. time-keeper who was hurry. ing home on his “nigger,” as the railroad bicycle is named, The insects were pouring across the line headed south in a perfect stream, a mile wide and an inch deep. They were a squirming hideous mass and emitted a very otfensive odor. He tried to push through them, but being crushed they made the rail so slippery that his wheels slipped and the machine refused to move. He had to push it over half a mile by hand. The following morning the down freight, bound for Bangor, met the river of insects. They were still marching across the track in still larger numbers, being over two miles wide and from two to four inches thick. The engine and eleven cars came to a sudden standstill, and it took ten hours to get the train across the space occupied by the tiny emigrants. Section men undertook to sweep them 03 with alder bushes, but the slightest touch of the twigs would crush them and lubricate the rails. and the mass formed like dough upon the driving‘lwheels. Coarse sand was used, but it didn't avail much, and Superintendent Varzil was wired and he ordered out am thcr locomotive from Sebois. On her arrival there began a series of char gee along the section, which now had been liberally sprinkled with sand, but the animal iiie was so thick that the various attempts were unsuccessful and it was not until late at night and the sun had gone down that the creeping things desisted in their march. With these there had come clouds of men- quitoes, and they very materially aided the other insects by pitching most vigorously into the men, seemingly drawing blood from all nationalities alike, and the sight of a sweating, swearing railroad labourer fran~ tically hrandishing alder boughs over his head with one hand, while with the other he scraped caterpillars, was laughable in the extreme. Nothing like it was ever known hereahouts before. Birds of many curious kinds are found in Australia which cannot be found anywhere else. One of them is the bower-builder, cr walk builder, as it is called. It builds a. long walk or bower with grasses and sprigs, and then collects all sorts of little things to decorate it. Gsudy feathers he likes particularly for this purpose, but does not disdain shells, bleached bones, on pipe bowl, 8. penknifo or any small object that he can find. So well is his propensity known, that when persons lose such things in the bush they generally find them in the bower-bird’s walk. It is evident that the bird takes them purely as ornaments, for he lives en- tirely on seeds and fruit. Another note- worthy bird native to that for 013' land is the lyre bird. He cannot only imitate the notes of all other birds, but also nearly every sound made by men. Settlers are often de- ceived by him, and many amusing stories are told. Sometimes a man working on his clearing hears somebody chopping wood a. short: distance away, and a dog barking at his heels. He goes in search of the intruder, and finds after a long walk that the lyre bird has been making game of him. A man using a cross-cut sow hears somebody doing the same thing, and after searching unsuc- cessfully for him, discovers that it is the bird. In the preparation of the Jewish Pass- over bread the kneading is done in the ordinary way. Pure gunpowder water is the only component added. The time for the dough to be baked is reduced to the minimum. It is broken into fla: cakes and then run between rollers into very thin sheets. Over these a workman rolls a prolonged steel to perforate the dough, so that air holes may be seen in the baked cakes. A steel hoop cuts the dough into round, flat sheets, which are then ready for the oven. The baker stands with a paddle attached to a very long handle. With the aid of a boy he thrusts the cakes into the brick compartment, and in half a minute pulls them out ready for use. A matzath cake is round, about four feet in diameter, somewhat browned and having slight air hole projections of its surface. They have a rather pleasant taste, not unlike that of crackers, and make a good substitute for bread. In some places there is a demand throughout the entire year for the unleaven- ed cakes by dyspeptics. About eight cakes weighapound, which in large quantities sell at eight cents. The cakes are very brittle, and their pieces are ground up into fine meaL This is the substitute for wheat flour in the household during the Passover. â€"letimore Sun. ‘ The gallant not of Sir Walter Raleigh, in spreading his cloak before Queen Ellzflmth, to save her feet/from the mud, will always be remembered as an instance of knight}, devotion.

CHICAGO, May 2l.-â€"The most horrible re- velation made yet in Judge Prendergast's investigation of the management of Chicago's public insane asylum was reached yester- day in the testimony or George Hill. an en. gineer on the Lake Shore road. Mr. Hill is shrewdtlooking, end his straightforward manner carries conviction. He said he on tered the institution in January, 1888, and was discharged the following May. He was not violently insane when he went to the asylum. He was asked by an attendant named Locke if he was insane. He said he was not. “Well,” replied Leche. “we will make you a. dâ€"â€"slghn insaner then you are now.” Mr. Hill said: â€"Then another at aendant named J ulian ordered me to sweep one the room. I replied that I we». not sent there for that purpose. “You ain't eh? We will see about that." Then he knocked me down and kicked me in the body and month and kicked two teeth out. I tried to cover my fsce by getting my head beneath a bench. my arm was over it and through a space in the back of the bench. Julian turned the bench over to get another kick at my face. In doing this my arm was broken. Hill rolled up his right cont sleeve and showed about three inches below the el- bow is huge lump where the ends of the brok- en bones, bully joined, stuck out. The New York (Herald) says :â€"Mr. Cou- nor, wno has just arrived in this country, has had a novel expel ience.

Further evidence was taken to the effect that one inmate was cruelly beaten for going to bed with his socks on, and it) was a com- mon thing for attendanm to drive patients to bed with clubs. Further evidence showed that: food was insuflicienv, and clothing and bedding entirely inadequate in cold weather. County Physician Todd testified that Robb.
