No. 143 met with a mishap at Bricktou ,
a few miles south of Hastings on the
Oberlin run , Friday morning , that re
sulted very fortunately for the company.
It was at a point where the company is
having new steel rails laid , and although
the train was moving slowly , the engine
ran off the rails , which spread. After I
running a short distance the engine' '
again mounted the track. Ten cars of i
cattle ran off the track , but outside of |
tearing the ties a little there was no
damage at all. The cattle were unloaded - '
ed , driven to the next station and again ,
started on their way , without injury or' '
damage , and with .but slight delay.
Brakeman D. P. Crowe was standing in
the gang-way of the engine when the
locomotive left the track and he was
thrown out of the engine and against the
hard , frozen bank and sustained a fract
ured arm.

Porpol.sc OH.
Oils , animal , vegetable and mineral ,
Ere second in importance to bat few do
mestic articles of commerce. Already
medicinally invaluable in the bygone
ages of hand labor , lubricants have become -
come almost a condition of existence in
this century of machinery , and of all
oils porpoise oil is the finest , the most
difficult to obtain , almost the most cost
ly. The difficulty , be it incidentally re
marked , lies not in expressing the oil
from the porpoise , but in catching the
porpoise itself. These cetaceans , like the
fish they prey on , are most uncertain in
their movements , at one time playing
by the week in our very harbors , at oth
ers staying a whole month far from the
coast. An economic and reliable method
of obtaining a regular supply of porpoises
poises from our seas would bo worth a
fortune.
At present their capture is no more
than accidental. Porpoises are known to
venture into salmon estuaries during
spring flood tides , returning to salt wa
ter with the ebb , and , as an improve
ment on the present casual supply sys
tem , strong rcpe nets might bo cast ab
the mouths of these estuaries to inter
cept the invaders as they leave. Prob
ably , however , the ultimate solution
will be found in the rifle and some par
ticular cartridge , preferably fronted with
soft , hollow lead to flatten in the crea
ture's ribs. It may bo that even with a
fatal bullet the difficulty is not ended ,
for it has not yet been shown whether ,
when fatally hit , the porpoise sinks or
floats. London Spectator.
Webster Cowed Them.
William Wotmoro Story , the sculptor
and poet , was one of the few men who
presumed to call Lowell "Jim" to the
end , and Miss Mary B. Phillips , in her
"Reminiscences of "William Wetmore
Story , " tells , in Story's own words to
her , the following tale of the two young
men : "James Lowell and I were very
angry with Webster for staying in old
Tyler's cabinet , and as he was to speak
in Faueuil hall on the . evening of the
30th of September , 1842 , we determined
to go in ( from the Harvard Law school )
and hoot at him and show him that
he had incurred our displeasure. There
were 8,000 people there , and wo felt
sure that they would hoot with us ,
young as we were.
"But we reckoned without our host-
Mr. Webster , beautifully dressed , step
ped forward. His great eyes looked ,
as I shall always think , straight at me
I pulled off my hat ; James pulled off
his. Wo both became as cold as ice and
as respectful as Indian coolies. I saw
James turn pale ; ho said I was livid
And when the great creature began that
most beautiful exordium , our scorn
turned to deepest admiration , from au
abject contempt to belief and approba
tion. ' '

His Hair In Danser.
A young artist whose pipe , eyeglasses
and luxuriant blond hair have made
him well known in town went to a
garden party not so much for social
amusement as for pencil studies of high
life. Ho wore a tall hat , frock coat and
lavender trousers and carried a sketch
ing block a yard square. Ab the party
his epigrams , paradoxes and fiendish
silvery laugh overwhelmed , , as he in
tended , all the girls in sight or hearing ,
buc he got through with his social du
ties as speedily as might be , then went
and sat down on a distant fence.
Soon pencil studies lay all around
him on the grass. Suddenly ho felt a
gentle tug at his back hair. He thought ,
"That is sorno fresh Alec trying to guy
me , " and he did not look up. The gen
tle tugging ceased , began again , became
much stronger , anil then he felt some
thing wet , soft , slimy , on his neck. With
a dreadful oath he leaped from the fence
and looked behind him. Back there was
a smart trap , in which sat two girls and
a young man laughing. The horses were
close to the fence , and it was one of
these that had commenced browsing on
the artist's profuse locks. Explanations
followed and apologies. ' ' All flesh , ' ' the
artist said , "is grass , but not all hair. "
