AUTHOR OF THE RAILWAY SYsrsm-Tbom ss
Gray was born in Leeds, England, about half a
century, or more ago, and this is all we know of
his early history. The MiddIetown coliiery had a
railway to carry Goals to Leeds distance of three
miles. The cars moved along at the rate of three
and half miles per hour. It was laughed at
not by Gray, but by the wise public. Gray saw
In his little work something that might be aug
mented into greatness; and he thought upon the
subject and forthwith became a visionary! He
talked and wrote upon his project of GA General
Iron Railway" the people declared him insane
He Petioned Parliament; sought interviews with
the lords and other great men; and thus became
the laughing stock of all England. He received
nothing but rebuffs wherever he went. All this
took place to 1920, or thereabouts
But he succeeded at last. The RAILWAYS were
laid. The world was benefited by the madness of
Thomas Gray.
Well, what became of him, the reader will ask?
We do not know; but we believe he still lives in
Exeter, to which place he removed. Up to 1916 he
had been neglected. While thousands have been
enriched by the contamination of his brilliant
scheme, he remained forgotten-forced by poverty
to sell glass on commission for a living. Hewitt,
in the Peoples Journal, few years ago, gave a
somewhat lengthy sketch of his career, thus bring
ing him into public notice. Wehaye seen nothinr
in print in relation to him lately Elliot wrote q
great truth in these words:
Chow many men who lived to bless mankind,
Have died unthanked?'
How many of the railway projectors, agitators,
stockholders Sc, have ever heard of the subject of
this brief sketch?

''This morning, the condemned man, while pro.

to commit crime which, however, was not con-
summated. Spring said that that occasion a
certain individual proposed to him to join in an

was lying at wharf in this city, with the specified
amount on board. Springs tempter proposed that
they should go on board the vessel at midnight,
when there was no one but the Waterman about;
they were to knock down the latter and take the
money. Spring says that on the day previous to

are convinced that she is one Of the most ELOQUENT

months than we have heard during all the Noctes

nussy, too, and laughs at opposition. She has been
sneered at by thousands, but persistently has she
given back sneer for sneer, sarcasm for sarcasm,
and blow for blow. ssYou might assassinate but
you cannot intimidate her" She does not know

1t is easier to speak of tanning her than to do it,

at presidents; for, she says If Isabella of Spain

would make her husband philosopher in spite of
