The train contnin- ig the body started for Cherbourg with ilitnry honors and salutes from guns. The London journals devote eight col- 111113 npicco to accounts of Albany's lifo nd death and the demonstrations of ublic grief abounding in details , which re really interesting to the English poole - lo with whom hn was moro popular than ny other of the riuoon's sons excepting orhaps the Prince of Wales. Princu joopold is generally boliovcd to have led n orderly and studious lifo. Ho was Iked at Oxford and was a thor- ughly capable man. Ho was wil ing to make good speeches wnonavpr 10 was ntkcd , IIo evinced interest in rt and was valued for his literary cul- urc , and his sympathy with these about nd below him in rank. Ho was a good audlord on a small scalp and an easy taster. His mairiago with the Princess lelena of Waldeck being understood to o a love-match , further endeared him tc omcstic people , who have rejoiced since lie ceremony in the absence of scandal bout their favorite. A recant letter rom Cannes said that ho was never in otter health , but his physicians have hvays known that death was possible at ny moment from congenital weakness of lie blood-vessels of the skin , lis death upsets all special arrange- icnta , postpones the mtirriago of lie queen s granddaughter , and prevents lie queen's journey , which was fixed for iionday week. It also cancels diplo- iiatic and many other dinner parties , t called the prince of Wales away from ho races at Liverpool , where ho had just vitncssod the defeat of his horse , the avorito for the grand national etcople- haso. It throws this and nearly every oroign capital into oflicial mourning. Sympathy with the duchess of Albany and the queen is universal. There is omo anxiety respecting the effect of the lows upon the queen's health , which is hvays sensitive to calamities.

"Ono of the slickest things I saw i my travels , " eaid passongur from the west , "was a covrboy stopping a cattle stampede. A herd of about nix or eight hundred had got frightened at something and broke away poll-moll with thtir tails in the air and the bulls nt the head of the procession. But Mr. Cowboy didn't get lacked ut all when ho saw the herd was going straight for a hii"h bluff , where they would cer tainly tumble down into the canon and bo killed. You know that when a herd like that gets to going th y c-m't stop , no matter whether they rush to death or not. These in the rear crowd those ahead , and away they go. 1 wouldn't have given a dollar a head for that herd , but the cowboy spurred up his mustang , nadu n little dolour , came in right in front of the herd , cut acnes their oath at a right angle , and then galloped leisurely on to the edge of that bluff halted and looked around at that wild maa of beef coming right toward him. Ho was as cool ni n cucumber , though I expected to * p him killed , and was so excited I could nut speak. Voll , air , when the leaders had got within about n quarter of a milo of him I saw them try to slack up , though they could not do it Tory quick , But the whole herd seemed to ant to stop , nnd when the cows and steers in the rear got about where the cowboy had cut across their path I was surprised to BOO thorn stop and commence to nibble at the qrass. Then the whole herd stopped , wheeled , straggled back nnd wont to fighting for n chance to oat where the roar guard was. You see , that cowboy had opened n big bag of salt lip had brought out from the ranch to giro the cattle , galloped across the herd's course and emptied the bag. Kvory crit ter sniffed that line of salt , and , of course , that broke up the stampede. But I toll you it was a queer sight to see that cuss out there on the edge of that bluff quiet ly rolling a cigarette , when it seemed as if he'd bo lying under 200 tons of hoof in about n minute nnd n half. " YOUNG IjADY AVHISTIiKUS. The ArtUy Which ThoylteiluwTltoIr Moulin nnd Gho Their Tongues 1'lay , Now York Herald. The familiar air of "Tho Mocking Bird" whistled through Wesk Forty-sixth street yesterday morning , but the music was not that of the lluto , the fi.tgolot , the piccolo , the clarionet or the lifo. A reporter of The Herald , who was passing along the street , stopped to listen , for , save n pretty young lady standing on n door stop , no ono was in sight. Still the twittering and bird like solo continued to vibrato down the block. It wan the young lady who was whistling , and the reporter took the liboity of expressing his astonishment to hor. "Woro you whistling1 ? ho inquired of the young music maker. "The young lady smiled , turned three difficult corners in the tune , worked in a tromole , half a dozen birdlike trills , stopped and answered : "Yes. Why ? " "Because you whistle so beautifully , and " "Woll , I think I ought to , " she inter rupted ; "I've boon taking lessons long enough , and my mouth ban grown fivo- : ights of an inch smaller since 1 began practice regularly. " "You take lessons , and your mouth has rown smaller ? " echoed the reporter. "Yes ; you needn't look as if 1 was lling a story. Of eourso I take lessons. iots of girls whistle now , because its whionablo. " "Who is the professor ? " "A colored man , who used to wait on , s at Long Branch. " "Whoro is his conservatory ! " "Oh , ho comes to our houses twice n week. His name is John Wise , but ho ays it's James Francis Cecil Clay Acco- mac Upshiro , junior to John Wise , of Northampton county , Va. Ho 13 n won "orful musician. " 1 'Then whistling will make the mouth mall ? " "Why , of course it will. A girl that ias a four inch mouth can reduce it to iroo inches by a regular course of study , iosidos the puckering of the lips makes hem fuller and gives them a nicer color. ' "How long docs it take to dock an nch oir an ordinary sized mouth ? " asked ; ho reporter. "Oli , I don't know , " was the answer , 'a girl must never sing , use largo tooth > ruahcs , or take big bites out of apples. Then if she practices all the time when iho is in the house she will probably reduce duce the size of her mouth in about two ears.VhyI can whistle ovorythingoven ciontifia sacred music , and you see how in all my mouth is , It is difforontjfrom linging in a choir. Tlio overture from 'Zampa" in perhaps tlio most difficult election in my repertoire. It requires o much active tongue movement. But ik fine whistler must have a good ear , and good teeth that are not too widely apart. " "Will you kindly describe the method mployod by the professor in lessons to beginners ?

" A WlldcrncaH ofCiir Wheels. "Thoro nro moro than 10,000,000 iron car wheels in use on American railroads , " sail the master mechanio of ono of the trunk lines , and U requires about D25 pounds of piir iron to make ono wheul. About 1,250,000 wheels are worn out every year , and the eamo number of new onua must bo madu to tuko their pUcen. The iron mon are called upon for only u small proportion of the 312 500 tons of material required for these no * wheels , however , for nearly 290,000 tons are supplied by the worn- out wheels tbemfiolres. Formerly the t lifo of n car wheel was estimated at eight years , but Iho reduction of the railroads - roads generally to the standard gauge , nnd the improvements in loading and unloading facilities have materially decreased - creased the length of service that a wheel may bo depended upon to perform. The uniformity in gauge keeps cars in moro continuous use , while the doorcase in time of loading and unloading enables thorn to bo put to moro active service even where they are run only on short local routes "These figures do not include the wheels on palace coaches and the bettor class of passenger coaches , The wheels on that grade of rolling stock nro now made almost exclusively of paper. They nro as serviceable as iron , and combine lightness with strength , a great desidera tum where speed and economy in motive power nro of paramount importance.

Moat of the socialists in this city are Germans The socialists believe in the assassination of monarchs. Our Ameri can monarchs are millionaires. William II. Vanderbilt is despotic by two hun dred millions. Still , ho Iota a Gorman draw a kcoi blade over his throat every day. There is a quaint and jolly old Gor man , with a huge red nose , a perfectly bald head , and i n immense mustache waxed at tlio ends , who may bo soon any morning of tlio year going down Fifth avennu with the march of n dissipated Prussian grenadier and the amilo of n happy infant. Ho is gentleness itself. Everybody who knows him calls him Jakay , but ho owns the full name of Jacob Abor. Every morning about S ) o'clock ho stops at the magnificent resi dence of Williiun II. Vanderbilt , greets the servant who opona the door blandly , and goes at once to Mr. Ynnderbilt's bar ber-shop. So much has boon written about his house that it seems hardly as though anything now could bo told , but many changes take placrt , and .in the south wing , adjoining Mr. Vandorbilt's dress ing-room , thcro has been fitted up a barboi shop. It is small , and in the middle of it ts a barber's chair , made of dark mahoga ny and inlaid with mothor- of-pcarl. The base-boards of the room , the cornices , and the door and window frames are of the same ahado of malm , any , and the mother-of-pearl decorations are identical with these on the chair. The chair is of the regu lation barber shop pattern. Old Jakoy shaven the two-hundred-mill ionaire , and then drifts down the avenue , nodding gracefully to stage driven , and giving the occasional policeman whom ho moots the 5th rogimontsaluto. Ho shaves several other wealthy men on his way down , and finally ends with Commodore Garrison , on Park avenue. Then ho goes back to hia humble homo iu the lower Bowery and smokca a strong Gor man pipe and plays ponucklo with bis wife until 5 o'clock in thoaftornoon. Then ho wanders up town again and visits ono or two old gentlemen who prefer to bo shaved before dinner rather than in the morning. Ho returns again to the Bowery , goes to a favorite lager boor saloon in Roosevelt street , and sits in ono particular chair i.nd at ono purlieu lar table every night until 11 o'clock. Then ho stalks oil to bod. 'Ho is close to CO years of ago , and in said to bo the host barber in Now York. Ho gets his own prices for his work , and probably has older customers than any other barber bor in the world. Ho shaved Fernando Wood thirty years. Very Hot ami Very Wldccd.

Lincoln Journal. s An incident which wo believe hoa never had n parallel in railrond history occurred on lost Thursday on the B. & M. railroad between this city nnd Denver. Were it not that the story cornea from the most reliable source , wo would unhesitatingly pronounce it canard. But wo have it from a source which ia a guarantee of ita correctness. At any rate , it ia a matter of record and can easily bo verified if true and disprovon if it ia false. It will bo remembered that on Thurs day there was a wind which amounted al most to a tornado hero and waa vrorso west of ua. At Akron itunrcofcd the round'honso nnd did some other damage. About ft o'clock in the evening , when the wind was at ita strongest , it started a train of eight bcx cars , loaded with coal , that were standing on the aide track at that plnco. Two brakcn wore sot , but they were not onouph to hold it , and it ran through the split switch without be ing derailed , and started east. The track was nearly level whore the train started , but there ia down grade this side of Akron. The wind was so strong tlmt it took the train inoro rapidly than the passenger trains < > vor the line move , oven on tlio level track , nnd when it reached n down grade of couruo the upocd became something fearful. The operator at Akron noticed the run away train soon after it broke loose , and sent the alarm down the line. Every thing was ordered side-tracked , and the crazy train had the right of way. The rti\imon ball train , going toward Akron , as only two stations awuy when the icesrtgo to aide track came , and it had : ily boon on the side track a abort time , ariously estimated at from two to five linutca , when the cuginoleas train came Hindering along. Marvellous na it may scorn , those run- tvay cars ran one hundred miles , passing ght stations over n track which is for a ; roat part of the distance almost level , nth no propelling power but tlio wind nd their own inertia. They ran the 100 uilcs in less than throe hours , and sta- "on ngonta nnd others who witnessed the range train hold their breath with nwo i it whirled by at the rate of nearly a iilo n minute. It passed Ilaigcr- the ate of forty miles an hour and ia said to lave run the twenty milca of down grade bis side of Akron in eighteen minutes. At Benkloman , 05 miles this side of Vkron , a freight was standing on the ido track. As the runaway tnun passed ho engineer ran his engine out with a > raknman on the tender to make the pupling , and gave chase. It was an ex iting oliaso , but the engine , which > rought to the aid of the wind the power n the steam cheats , soon closed the gap otwcen itself and the ilying train , ibout half way between Benkloman and Tax the fugitive was overtaken , the oupling successfully made , and the cars , f tor pulling the engine some distance , irought to n standstill. It was certainly a remarkable runaway , ml wo do not believe the annals of any : nilroad will show a parallel to to it. "Who O-iinuti DIfrina 10 , uaklmCor , London Times. Daman's Digma's whole relation to the uvolt and the amalgamation in him of 'pligious , political , and mercantile aspira- iuns are hard to comprehend.
