.JIM ClIUlUllILIi.
The Lifo, Love nnd Death of a
Bravo Man,
It was tlustv, hot and liaillv venti
liilcil iiiiliinrs, till lioiilt out if (lour a
colli ram was Lcating cIhm'I'Ics.sIv
BtraiuMt tlx: car wituluw.s, nml the
damp, raw wind was as fresh as th
brown hills and ice covered inarshes i
blew ocr. It was an accommodation
train on one of (he trunk lines in the
central part of this State and therefore
a belter condition of a flair could not
have been expected. No matter how
cold the weather or wet, it is always
hot and ilustv on an accommodation
ktrtiin. The colder and welter it is out
hide, the hotter and dustier inside, and
the more unpleasant It is the slower
the train bumps over the rails, the
more freipient Ihe slops it makes, the
larger the crowd of on-comiiifr passen-
cers. and the greater the tln'onir of sro-
ers-out. At l'alatine Bridge the train
came to another stop. On the iineov
cred platform of the railway station
there were gathered a few shivering
wotilil-lie passengers, eager to barter
one condition of discomfort for an
oilier almost entially as disagreealih
and impatient at the delay, for who
ever knew an Hceoininodation train to
be on tinier1 Among them were a man
dressed like a fanner and two lilll
girls the elder less than six years old
and the younger her junior a year or
an with fresh, smiling, dimpled faces
and sweet, prattling voices, which
even the rumble of the train, the
sticky dust, the plashing rain, the
smoke, the heat and the crowded load
of ill-tempered passengers could not
cloud or silence. They came into Ihe
car when; 1 sat. The farmer and the
younger child found a vacant seat in
front of me. I moved nearer the aisle
to let ttie oilier climb over the parcels
bv my side next to the window, out
of which she gazed into the rain and
through the blinding clouds of smoke
which covered the. soggy fields with an
intensity of delight that was so unaf
fected that the train ought to have felt
flattered, hud it had sense enough to
feel nnytbing.
"I dess love to ride on the cars,
don't you?" she asked after the train
had resumed its tiresome journey.
"Sometimes," I replied.
"I do all the time. My pupa is an
engineer."
''Then you ride a good deal?'' 1 ven
tured. "Not very much," she answered
with a little sigh of discontent; "not as
much as I want to. Since mamma
went away, pupa won't let me, ami
grandma always cries when I go on the
cars."
"Ah!"
"liidn't von know that? You know
my papa?'' she remarked with such
confidence: in mv knowledge that I was
almost ashamed to say that I didn't.
"Don't bother the gentleman," inter
rupted the farmer as ho turned half
around in his seat and faced me. "Shu
is a big talker."
"She doesn't bother me in the least,"
I made haste to say. So, reassured,
the little maiden turned her face again
to the window, and in a moment was
too much absorbed in the fleeting pano
rama to remember anything but the
passing pleasure..
"Her father was an engineer on this
road Jim Churchill. Kver heard of
him?" continued the farmer after a
short pause. "No. Well, I ain't sur
prised. Yet he deserved to be known
mnrc'n lots of men that gets their
names, before tho public. Jim anil I
was schoolboys together up the country
near Palmyra. W was both raised in
the same township, and wo nsed to
think when we was men we'd be part
ners, and so we was almost. Jim was
bigger'n me, stronger and a year or so
older. I was always a runt among the
boys, and if it hadn't been for Jim I'd
f'rribnWy born ieker every ibiv in my
ife. But Jim wouldn't stand nothing
of that sort. Ho was as bravo as a
giant and he never allowed any one to
be imposed upon while he could pre
vent it, and when tho boy a learned
that he meant what he said they let me
alone. So we grew tip together like
two brothers, lie loved me because I
was weaker than he waa, just as a
father lovea a baby, and I just wor
shiped him. I'd a. died for him, stran
ger, just a easy if he'd only said the
word. You ought to have knowed Jim
Churchill. One Jim Churchill would
make up for a half a million such fel
lows as mo and the, ordinary run of
folks.
"When we was alsmt sixteen years
wc had our first trouble. She was the
prettiest girl in the county, and she
was just as sweet and good as she was
pretty. She was the dominie's daugh
ter, and when she came to school Jim
and I both set our caps for her at the
same time. Funny, stranger, how n
pretty girl will come between old
friends. Two men can live like twitu
a whole lifetime, but just let a pretty
woman come in and they will light like
brothers-in-law over a w ill. When little I
l'hillis came to school, and Jim and I 1
ran races to ask to see her home or to
fetch lu r to singing school or Sunday
night meeting, then: stranger, we :
knowed the tiist trouble of our lives, j
Somehow we grew cold like, and be
fore that year was ended we did not j
speak. One night Jim and 1 met at Iter ,
house. 1 was seventeen then, and Jini
was over eighteen and as big as a man. '
He had a beard, almost, and he was as 1
handsome, as a picture. lie didn't
know I was there, or I don't think he'd
a called. I hail been there about at,
hour, and just before the knocker .
sounded l'hillis hail told mo the old !
story we all of us love to hear so well.
and I fell as happy and light-hearted as
a lark. When Jim came in and saw us
sitting in the lilllcold parlor he seemed
to know just what had happened like a
flash. For a moment 1 thought he'd do
something he'd regret some time. Ilia
face got so black and sullen and his even
got ugly, l'hillis saw it, too, soon s t
did.
" Jim.' said she. her voice trembling
just a little, 'Jim, I want you ami Bob
to shake hands and be friends.'
"Then I got up and held out my hand;
though, to tell the truth, I fell 'sort of
nervous.
" 'Jim,' she went on, her voice get
ting stronger and her face getting
sweeter and sweeter, 'I waul you to
love Hob again just as you used to, be
cause - because - I love him so much.
Won't you, Jim, for -my sake?"
"I wish you could have seen Jim just
then, stranger. I never saw the good
in a man light so hard with the bad and
eoine out ahead in all my life before or
since, and never expect to again. He
stood there by the open window just as
if he d been carved oul of stone. 1
didn't know whether he'd heard what
she said or not, he was so still.
Then, just as I was about to take
back in hand. Jim took it in both of
his so liaid 1 almost dropped. Then he
threw his arms around my neck, kissed
me on my lips, flopped down on a
chair, stranger, and cried like a baby,
l'hillis, the little woman, cried too,
nnd there we all were with our arms
around each other crying like women
and not any of us knowing what we
were crying about.
1 hat sett led things with us. Alter
lliiil we was brothers just like we used
to be. Well, it's a long story, and I
guess you won't care to hear it nil. So
11 cut il short. When 1 was twcnly-
one 1 was married. .Inn was our best,
man, and mv oldest boy is named :
James Churchill Brown. About a year
or ao later Jim married. She was a
cripple and supported her mother do
ing sewing, lint if she had been a :
royal princess Jim couldn't have
treated her any belter. After he got
on the roail he buill her a little bouse
near us and there they lived and there
these little tots came into the world.
About a year ago a lillle boy came to
Iheir collage, bill he only stayed a day
or so, and w hen he went back to where
came from he took the lillle mother
back too, and these little ones were
ft behind. Jim never lost . heart.
though, but the blow nearly killed
him. lie stood up under it as bravo
as a lion, and you'd necr have known
from his face, except that he didn't
smile the w ay he used to, thai he knew
what sorrow was. One evening last
week it wasauoliduv with Jim lu:
and l'hillis was out walking by the
reek that ru.is through inv meadow
iv the reil barn. It was just dusk and
mv little boy was running on ahead
Waving in the snow when they runiii
to the railroad crossing. Just as they
got there Jini heard a whistle. It
w asn't time for the regular train, so he
wasn't watching out for danger, It
was a special and II w as coming round
the curve like lightning. My little
Jim was plat ing on the culvert, l'hil
lis heard Ihe whistle, she saw the boy
on tlie track, she heard the rattle of
the engine just as if it was a dream.
I'licn she gave a lillle scream and fell
own on the road in a faint "
"East Creek!'' called out the conduc
tor, as the Irani stopped again in the
storm.
Oh, I'ncle Hob!" cried the littlo
maiden by my side, "hook out the
window. There's Aunt l'hillis and
ousin Jim and there's grandpa and
grandma and what a funny looking
black wagon that is! Look! Look!"
he continued, as the fanner gathered
together his charges and started for tho
door. " I hey are putting a black box
in the wagon, and Aunt l'hillis is cry
ing awful hard."
ics, replied Ihe farmer as ho
brushed away a tear from his eyes.
Yes, that's Jim Churchill, at ranger.

The slag resulting from the smelt

Argo, Col., is now being used for the
manufacture of beautiful table ware.
'The colors are a kind of spray of onyx

agitated water, then rcmclted and
poured into moulds either with or after

to flux pretty generally with added

LEGAL NOISE.
What the l aw Allow. "d What It Cnn-
.liier. a Nulaitnce.
F.vcrv good citizen is interested in
know ing how much noise tho law will
compel him to endure at the hands o
his neighbors without redress, am
nninv citizens who are not irnod will
. JotiliUeasgliko to ascertain how much
' noise they can inflict upon their neigh
bora without fear of punishment. SeT
; pral decisions bearing upon these
1 noinls have lately been made bv the
courts. One broad principle well
established ill the law of noise,, both in
, I Ii in country and Knglaiul. curiously
1 il lust rates t he serious bent of our
I Anglo-Saxon nature, and that is the
i sharp distinction drawn between
! money-making noises and those which
! are made in the pursuit of pleasure
The law is tender to a steam engine or
I a boiler maker, and will allow them to
I disturb a w hole neiglilirhood with im
punity, but it is severe upon a brass
band or a game of skittles. 1 lie poo
citizens must be very wary about play-
in" bowls or skittles in populous
nlaces. The Italians order tins matter
differently, and restrain blacksmiths,
boiler makers, etc., within somewhat
close limits us to time and place,
whereas they allow musical merry
makers to make night hideous or beau
tiful, as Ihe case may be, without any
restrain! whatever.
'The dog, in Knglisli and American
jurisprudence, stands upon the border
line, because he may be considered in
either aspect -as kept for use, when
watch dog, or for pleasure, when re
garded merely as a companion or .an
ornament. Ilere, however, we run
airainst another principle of the com
mon law, according to which dogs are
privileged persons. For instance, it is
unlawful for a fanner to shoot an
other's dog who has eaten his sheep.
provided il be the animal's lirst of
fense of that kind; for the ilog who is
young in the sin of sheep-killing may
repent and lead u respectable life
thereafter; but if he has already been
convicted of the crime, then it is law
fill to shoot bun. In other words, as
Lord Manslield once said: "The law
allows every dog in England one bite
at a sheep,'
It has, however, been held that "tho
noise produced by a dog barking in Ihe
uiglil is a nuisance, and thai a man
may shoot (he dog nml abate the nui
sance when on his own premises; that
is, we presume, when on his own, the
shooter's, premises, for it has never
been lawful for it man to stand
ou his own reniises Hud
a dog in his neighbor's
A great judge. Lord
yon, held that a dog barking at
shoot
yard.
' Ken-
night
is not a nuisance, but it is doubtful if
this would be considered a gooil law at
the jircsent day. According to the
dclinilion given W one writer, a noise
is a nuisance when it is "unusual, ill
timed or deafening." This is plainly
incorrect, for the noise of a nightin
gale in the streets of Boston would be
'.'unusual," but hardly a nuisance.
Some very "ill-timed" noises are also,
in the eye of the law, not nuisances.
Thus it lias been held in the case of
Tool against lligginson and Daly that
it is not a nuisance for the parent of
an infant suffering from colic to trun
dle a baby -carriage all night in a
boarding-house over the head of a
nervous hacUclor editor. This noise
may not have been unusual and per

Is' an abuse of language to say that it
was not "ill-timed." Probably what
saved the parent in this case was the
fact thai the noise was useful, for the
evidence tended to show that the baby
was relieved by the trundling. On the
other hand, useless noises, "such as a
concert we quote from a decision of
the Supreme Court of Massachusetts
although they disturb but a single per
son, may constitute a nuisance." It
has very jiropcrly liecn held that a
"show having brass bands, when con
tinued two weeks," is a nuisance. It
is not likely thai many people will
quarrel with this decision.
A kindred subject is that of nuisance
by vibration. If a man attempts to
operate a steam hammer next door to
a dwelling-bouse the law will restrain
him. One authority states the rule as
follows: "The vibration must pro

tlie judgment of reasonable men, is
naturally productive of actual phys
ical discomfort to persons of ordinary
sensibilities and of ordinary itste and
liitliits." 'The words in italics seem to
imply that some persons like morn
vibration than others, and are in the
habit of "vibrating" themselves,

quired the habit of vibrating, but we
doubt if they have any "taste for it.
However this may be, the sum of the

or manufactures you may vibrato or

Neereta of tlie Ireaai.ir-ltootn aa Jtevealed
bv a Theatrical .Man.
"See here! 1 have a letter from an
amateur asking me to give him direc
tions how to make up for an old man,
and I don't know any better way than
telling you every thing about it and let
ting you tell everybody." Thus spoke
Jerry Taylor, stage manager of the
Walnut Street Theater, to a reporter.
"When a star enters his dressing
room," said Mr. Taylor, "he finds the
contents of his dressing-case or make
up box spread out la-fore him on a
table, in front of a glass that is hung
between two lights. Ho has ready in
his hand sticks of grease paints of all
colors, and cosmetics, pencil brushes,
spirit gum for sticking on noses or
whiskers and a hare's foot. Now, sun
pose he is going to make tin for an old
man. Jle takes a stick of flesh-colored
grease paint, warms it slightly and
rubs it all over his face, just the same
as a scene painter 'sizes' his canva
before painting the picture on it. Then
if he is going to make up for some his
torical character he has a picture of the
original before hint and ho must line
his face according to it. Otherwise ho
goes to work and makes tho face ho
fancies. After tho lirst cottt of flesh
colored paint he covers his cheeks and
lips witti vcrmillion. He next draws
two short lines wide apart at the ton and
almost converging bet ween them, j'hcsu
lines are put on with Indian ink applied
with a pencil brush. Crows' feet with
three little lines at the outer corner
of the eves give them the old wrinkled
expression. Two parallel lines on
each side of the face, one beginning
near the inner corner of the eye and
the other beginning at the base of the
nose, each about naif an inch long,
with an ordinary face and slanling
downward, give the lengthened expres
sion to the face. A line across the
chin, blended downward at the ends,
completes the lining required with an
ordinary old man's face. Different old
man characters must, of course, be given
different expressions about Ihe mouth,
and these are made with lines to suit
the expressions. To make himself look
as if he was a couple of weeks without
a shave, is the simplest thing imagin
able. All he has to do is to burn a
newspaper and rub the ashes vt hern
the burlier puts the lather, nml be will
have a strong, two weeks' old black
beard. Ho can tone that down by rub
bing In ground chalk.
"To make the arms thin, a linn of
brown or green grease paint run along
the veins will make n fat, round arm
look like that of a . shriveled old woman.
For a young man or hero character the
same ground work is laid ou; vcrmil
lion or rouge is applied to the lips and
checks with a hare's foot. The eje
brows are blackened wilh India ink,
and a thin line is drawn on the under
eyelid, extending from the inner cor
ner of Ihe eye to a little beyond the
outer corner and right under the hail1
line of Ihe lush. In blacking the eye
brows the ladies frequently use the
soot of gas smoke, collected by holding
a piece of glass over the burner. It
is one of the best colors and the least
harmful.
For a snub nose a small line drawn
over the nose and another drawn under
Ihe point of the same organ will give it
a beautiful snub, but if he is the unfor
tunate possessor of a natural snub ho
can't take it oil' with all Ihe lines ho
can draw. He has to build it out wilh
putty or dough. An actor can not en
large his mouth nor diminish the size
of his cars with paint.
Jo take oil tlie grease paints cocoa
butter is generally used. It is applied
over the paints, and the whole mass
rubbed oil' with a dry towel, after
which the face is washed with water.
False noses of paper nre seldom worn
any more. Hough, putty anil col ton,
shaped and made as the wearer wills,
is tho rule nowadays, llollowuess of
the face is made by rubbing paper
iisbes on the cheeks, and llih eyes are
sunken bv putting red paint on the
upper eyelids.

have to do is to get a few corks, burii
them completely, grind them line to re
move the grit and apply damp. They
aint their lips wilh rouge nml lliev en
irgu their mouths by rubbing oil' the
cork about a half inch on each side.
Thev seldom moisten the cork with
any thing except water, as grease and
things like that would make the cork
slick into the skin. Crease paints and
cork never hurt the skin if properly tip-
plied. I'liMiulili'luii Afir.i.
PRINCE BISMARCK.
A (.llnipae at tlie Trite Chiii-acter. of the
"Man of III.hmI and Iron.'
Since the accession of llismarck to
the highest position in the nation, next
to the monarch, he has greatly exalted
the power and position of Prussia, but
it has been at fearful cost. To carry
his purposes lie has muzzled the press,
tidied the representatives of the peo
ple, and with an iron hand ruled like a
despot. Fearless by nature, ho has
confronted every kind of enmity and
opposition at home and abroad. 'There
is no need to follow el'wely csree?
since he became the chief adviser and
prime minister of William I. Bis
marck's prominenco as a statesman
bus somew hat obscured his merit as a
soldier; but he himself always believed
that the army was the place for which
nature designed him. When the Km
peror invested him with the highest
military order in his gift, he addressed
him in tho following terms: "Truly
at many a grievous time you have
shown the highest courage of the sol
dier, and vou nave also thoroughly and
conipletefy proved ut my side
In two campaigns that, apart
from every thing else, you have the
fullest chum to conspicuous military
distinction." It is astonishing that
Bismarck has been able for so many
years to sustain the burden which lias
been laid on his shoulders. Nothing
but an iron constitution could hate
borne nil that has been thrown upon
him. Six feet two in his boots, seventy
years of age, but straight and unbent

hundred to "two hundred and fifty
pounds, ho, ha uccu uud.sU'.l io a m,.di 1

years there have been times when he

for a season from the cares and IHbors

his health, lie lias always liecn a

the course of such a distinguished and
elevated career, has become one of thd
richest men of (ierniany; but no one
has ever accused him or availing him

an improper manner. Most of his
property has been the pift of the na
