A FAST STORY.-An Englishman was bragging of the speed on English railroads to a Yankee traveller in England. The engine bell was rung as the train neared the station.

answer, either. I was on a locomotive when the whistle was tried. We saw a two-horse wagon crossing the track, about five miles ahead, and the engineer let the whistle on, but it wasn't no use. "What's that noise ?" inquired the Yankee. The next thing I knew I was picking myself out "We are approaching a town," said the English-of a pond by the roadside, amid the fragments of man. "They have to commence ringing about ten miles before they get to a station, or else the train would run by it before the bell could be heard! Wonderful, isn't it? I suppose they haven't invented bells in America, yet?"

"Why, yes," replied the Yankee; "we've got bells, but can't use them on our railroads. We run so 'tarnal fast that the train always keeps ahead of the sound."

the locomotive, dead horses, broken wagon, and dead engineer, lying beside me. Just then the whistle came along, mixed up with some frightful oaths that I heard the engineer use when he first saw the horses. Poor fellow, he was dead before his voice got to him. After that we tried lights, supposing these would travel faster than sound, but the locomotive kept ahead of it still, and was in the darkness, with the light close on behind it. I have heard that some of the fast trains beat the telegraph 15 minutes every 40 miles. But I can't say as that is true--the rest I know to be so."
