It, bat at all events, as it sped by the ide of a parched river, the train sud­

denly left the track, and rolled down the banks of the so-called stream like a child at play, landing in three feet jof water with a splash, and causing a Vofnl mix-up of passengers, cushions, baggage and shoe-boxes full of lunch.

QUEER LOCKET.

And the Peculiar History That Had* It a Keepsake.

New Orleans Times-Democrat: "Tes, this Is rather a peculiar locket and I got it in rather a peculiar manner," eaid a cotton buyer of this city when somebody remarked the quaint little trinket attached to his watch chain. The locket was of gold, and an ordi-S nary five-cent piece was set in the lid, surrounded by a circle of colored ^ stones. The effect was odd and not. Inartistic. "The story is briefly this,"F) cont'.nued the speaker. "About three* years ago I was on a street car In I Chicago, when one of the paissengors, j a very nice looking young lady, discov­ered that she had no money in toer purse. The conductor was disposed to j be ugly about it, and, of course, I ln-i sisted on paying the fare, giving thel girl one of my cards at her very car- j nest request. Over a year elapsed, and I the incident had entirely faded fron/ my mind, when one day I was walkingl along St. Charles street and was hailed | by a lady i*rom a cab. She proved be the saw? one whose car fare I hj paid in ^iiieago, and had recogn! me immediately, although I had h work recalling the original encour. She told me excitedly that she been on t'ie lookout for me ever £ and also that she was in the city some relatives on route for home a trip to California. While she talking s.ie was searching her for a nickel, but had no changl laughed, told her not to bother about It, and gftve her another card. A few weeks later I received this locket with a very charming letter, which I prlie highly. I have had remarkably good luck ever since I have worn the little gift, and I am superstitious enough to regard it as a sort of mascot. By a queer coincidence the coin chances to bear the date of the year of my birth."

\

HIS CRAVE NECLECTED

The Resting Place of Charles Dickens I«

Virtim'ly Unmarked.

From the London Mail: The sugges­tion has been made that a monument to Charles Dickens should be erected in one o? the public places of this city. It is not at all likely that the proposal, however warmly it might be supported by the English people, will ever be carried into effect, for any such scheme of perpetuation would be in direct op­position to the expressed wish of the I novelist, who desired by his work alone to live in tlie heart of his countrymen. The will of Charles Dickena, from | which tie following lines are t&ken, very clearly expressed the master's wishes: "1 conjure my friends, on no account, to make me the subject of any monument, memorial or testimonial, whatever. I rest my claims to the re­membrance of my country upon my published works and to the remem­brance of my friends upon theif ex­perience of me in addition thereto." To this wish the members of the fami­ly have always given the strongest adherence and havt already discoun­tenanced and will continue to discour­age any attempt to set the provision of the will at naught. Some years ago Edwin El well, a gifted Americas sculp­tor, completed in marble a full-length portrait figure of the novelist, with Little Noll looking upward to the face of her creator. This charming group the sculptor offered to the London county council for erection in some suitable place in London, but owing to the attitude of the family, who, out of respcct to the wishes of the novelist, refused to countenance tbe movement, the offer was declined. In these cir­cumstances it is hardly probable that any men.orial, at least of a public char­acter, will be attempted.

Overst uveil Bio Leave.

A good story is going the rounds of Simla society just now. It seems that an unfoitunate clerk in one of the government oliices, with twenty-three years' sc.'vice, recently took leave and overstayed his leave by nine days. He was callc.l upon for an explanation, and in tbe end the secretary ordered him to b? dismissed. Th&5jg|jfl{ there­upon appealed to the viceroywho I called fo; an explanation of the cir­cumstance:!. The secretary showed1

that the man had not only overstayed! his leave f ir nine days, but was hoi/ j lessly incompetent as well. His exce^j lency theieupon ordered the man to reinstated, and wrote across the tary's explanation that he considered] the hopelessly incompetent man the one who had took twenty-threj years to find out the other's incc) petence.
