A Supernatural Phenomenon—Story of a
Railroad Engineer.—I wa.s running a night
express train, with ten cars—eight passen
ger and two baggage cars—and all were well
loaded. I was behind time, and was very anxious
to make a certain pointj thus I was using every
exertion, and putting the engine to the utmost
speed to which she was capable. I was on a sec
tion of the road usually considered the best run
ning ground on the line, and wa.s endeavoring to
make the most of it, when a conviction struck me
that 1 must stop.
A something seemed to tell me that to go
ahead was dangerous, and that I must stx)p if I
would save life. I looked back at my train, and
it was all right. I strained my eyes and peered
into the darkness, and could see no signal of dan
ger nor anything betokening danger, and there I
could see five miles in day-time. I listened to
the working of my engine, tried the water, looked
at the gauge, and all was right. I tried to laugh
j my selfoutol whatl then considered a childish fear;
I but, like lianquo’s ghost, it would not down at my
i bidding, but grew stronger in its hold upon me.
I thought of the ridicule I would have heaped
upon me if I did stop; but it was all of no avail.
The conviction—for by this time it had ripened
into a conviction—that I must stop grew stronger,
I and I shut off and blew the whistle for breakers
i accordingly. I came to a dead'halt, got off, and
I went ahead a little way, without saying any thing
j to any body what the matter was. I had a lamp
; in my hand, and had gone about sixty feet, when
i I saw what convinced me that premonitions are
I sometimes possible. I dropped the lantern from
my nerveless grasp, and saf down on the track ut-
I terly unable to stand, for there was a switch, the
j thought of which had never entered ray mind, as
it had never be«kn used since I had been on the
road, and was known to be spiked, but was open
to lead me off the track. This switch led into a
stone quarry, from whence stone for bridge pur
poses had b^en quarried, and the switch was left
there in case stone should be needed at any time,
but it was always locked, and the switch rail spiked.
Yet here it was wide open, and had I not obey
ed my premonition—warning—call it what you
will—I should have run into it, and, at the end
of the track, only about ten rods long, my heavy
engine and train, moving at the rate of thirty
miles per hour, would have come into collision
with a solid wall of rock, eighteen feet high. The
consequences, had I done so, can neither be im
agined nor described; but they could, by no possi
bility, have been otherwise than fatally horrid.
This is my experience in getting warnings from
a source that 1 know not, and can not divine. It
is a mystery to me—a mystery for which I am
very thankful, however, although I dare not at
tempt to explain nor say whence it came.
One of the eastern members of Congress, whom
I will call Judge A., gave me an amusing account
of a call which he received from one of his consti
tuents, Mr. B., this morning. Mr. B. knocked
at his door long before his usual hour of rising.
“Is Judge A. in?” inquired Mr. B. of the ser
vant. “Yes sir, but he is not up,” was the res
ponse. “Never mind,l will run up into his cham
ber and see him,’ said Mr. B. “Plea.se walk in
to the parlor and 1 will inform the judge that
you are below,” suggested the perplexed Thom
as; whereupon he mounted to the judge’s cham
ber, and knocked at the door. “Mr. B. is below,
and wishes to see you, sir.” “Can’t see him,”
responded the judge. “But he says he will come
up.” “No he won’t,” was the gruff response.
The judge turned over for his morning nap, and
some two hours after, having, in the meantime,
risen and dressed leisurely, the judge went down
to breakfa.st, when he found “irrepressible” Mr.
B. patiently waiting in the parlor. “Glad to see
you, Mr. B.,” said the judge, “sorry I could not
receive you in my chamber; am always at the
mercy of my constituents, day or night; had no
sort of objection myself, but, you see, I didn’t
know but Mrs. A. might have some delicacy in
receiving gentlemen visitors in her chamber be
fore she was up.” Ex. itno, &c.

A^riran Fnah—The dictates of fashion are
quite as absolute and (juite as absurd in the inte
rior of Africa as in Paris. We find a good in
stance ot this in the journal of a recent traveller;
Many of the men are very intelligent looking,
with high foreheads and well shaped heads. They
shew singular taste in the astonishingly varied
style ill which their hair is arranged. Their bead
necklaces are really pretty specimens of work.
.Many have the upper and middle, as well as the
lower part of the ear bored, and have Irom three
to five rings in each ear. The hole in the lobe
. ot the ear is large enough to admit one’s finger,
; and some wear a {»iece of bamboo about an inch
I long in it. Brass and iron bracelets, elaborately
, figured, are seen; and some ot the men sport from
I two to ei^ht brass rin:s on each finger, and even
1 the thumbs are not spared. They wear copper,
I brass and iron rings on their legs and arms; many
i have their front teeth notched, and some tile them
j till they resemble the teeth of a saw. The upper
lip ring of the woman gives them a W'volting ap-
! pearance. It is universally worn in the high-
j lands. A puncture is made high in the lip, and
! it is gradu.illy enlarged until the pelcle can be in-
! serted. .Some are very large. One we measur-
1 ed causcd the lip to project two inches beyond
1 the tip of the nose. When the lady sniiled, the
I contraction of the muscles elevated it over the
S eyes. “Why do the women wear these things?”
’ the venerable chief, (’hinsiirdi, was a.«ked. Kvi-
} dently surprised at such a stupid question, he rc-
! plied, “For beautyl They are the only beautiful
; things women have; men have beards, women
; have none. W hat kind of a person would she
I be without a pelcle? She would not be a woman
! at all with a mouth like a man, but no beard.”

} A />«//.—Two men, with exceedingly rich
i brogues on their tongues, entered a store yester-
1 day, and each called for a gallon of whiskey,
j There was nothing strange in that, but one want-
! ed a first-rate article and the other a cheaj>er ar-
j tide. One concluded to pay seventy-five cents
^ for a gallon of Bourbon, and the other twenty-five
j cents for a gallon of tanglefoot, and they had but
I one jug between them, and wanted ail the whis-
I key put into it, which was done, the clerk merely
I asking them if they didn’t want a paper between
I the lots. “Oh, no,” said one, “I can measure out
his gallon when we get home.”
