Trial Trip of the FIRST Locomotive.


Major Horatio Allen, the engineer Of the New
York and Eric Railroad, in o speech made during
the recent festival OCCASION gave the following ac-
count Of the first trip made by a locomotive on
this continent: e. \
When was it /? Who wasi it? And who awakened
its energies and directed its meyements2 1t was
In the year 1928 on the banks of the Lockawaxen,
at the commencement of the railroads connecting
the canal of the Delaware and Hudson Canal Com
pany with their coal mines-and he who addresses
you was the only person on that locomotive. The
circumstances which led to my being alone on the
engine were these The road had been built in the
summer; the structure was of hemlock timber,
and rails of large dimensions notched on caps
placed far apart. The timber had cracked and
warped from exposure to the sun. After about
800 feet Of straight line the road crossed the Lack
AWAKEN creek on trestle work about 80 feet high,
with a curve of ass to 400 feet radius. The i'm
preston was very general that the iron monster
would either break down the road or it would leave
the track at the curve and plunge into the creek.
My reply to such apprehens0ns was that it was
too late to consider the probability Of such occur
rences there was no other course than to have a
trial made OF the strange animal, which had been
brought here at q great expense but that it was
not Unnecessary thatmore than one should be involved
in its fate that would take the first ride alone
and the time would come when should look back
to the incident with great interest. As placed
my hand on the throttle-yalYe handle was unde-
cided whether would move slowly or with a fair
degree Of speed; but believing that the road would
prove safe, and preferring if we did 90 down, to
go handsomely. and without any evidence Of tim
idity started with considerable velocity, passed
the curve over the creek safely, and was soon out
of hearing Of the vast assemblage. At the end of
two or three miles reversed the valve and returned
without accident, having thus made the first rail-
road trip BY locomotive on the Western hemis-

THE PACIFIC RAILROAD.


The conduct Of Mr. Curtis Of Iowa, the Chair
man of the special committee on the Pacific Rail
road bill in the House Of Representatives, has
been very singular, to say the least Of it. On
Thursday last he offered aresoluton for the post
ponement Of the bill until the next session--and
the resolution was adopted. His alleged excuse
for this that there was not sufficient time for
Of The bill at the present session.
New, this movement will subject Mr.. Curtis TO q
suspicion Of being lacking in either good faith or
in good sense, one or the other. He il either
opposed te the provision for having Southern
route rs well as a central one, and thus kills off
the Southern route by killing the bll-or, else, he
Is unfit for the position he holds in relation to this
great measure. The excuse of not having time to
consider il, when it is notorious that five or six
hours every day, in Congress, are consumed in
making Buneombe speeches, and Presidential
harangues, will hardly be accepted az the true
motive Of Mr.. Curtis conduct.
II members have time to dscuss the slavery
question, until it is worn as tlreadbare as beg
gars coat they surely have time to attend to their
legitimate legislative duties. If they have time to
make speeches in behalf of the election Of this or
that man TO the Presidency, they ought to have
time to do the work for which they are SO well
paid by the people. We are very much inclined
to think that, in this matter, Mr.. Curtis has been
guilty Of an act Of bad faith li= M

Of next December. Tins the hilli defeated for

Hunter, oI virginia on wlese molten the bill was
postponed, that theFe Was no necessity for pres

ID the fact that 1t an Increase In the
rate Of duties which was demanded neither by
the necessities of the Treasury nor the interests of
the people. Mr. Hunter stated also, what no one
can deny, that the revenue from the present Tariff
was amply Sufficient for the wants Of Government
leaving the unavoidable inference that the pres.
ent distress of the Treasury was due altogether to
the reckless predigality and extravaganza Of the
Federal Administration. e

went out Of the Presidency and Mr.. Buchanan

Mistakes of Physicians.

Oliver W. Holmes, physician, philosopher and
poet in lecture upon physicians, gives the fol-
lowing account Of some mistakes which have been
made in medicine
Sooner FOR later, everybody Is tripped up in
forming a diagnosis. i saw Velpeau tie one OF the
carotid arteries for a supposed anuerism, which
was only . little harmless tumor and kill his
patient. Mr. Dease, of Dublin, was more fortunate
in a case he boldly declared an abcesa, while
Others thought it an anuersm. He thrust a lancet
into it, and proved himself in the right Soon
after he made q similar diagnosis. He thrust in
his lancet, before, and ont gushed the patients
blood, and his life with it. The next morning Mr.
Dease was found dead, and floating in his blood
He had divided the femoral artery. / have doomed
people, and seen others doom them, over and over
again, on the strength of physical signs, and they
have lived in the most contumacious and scientific
ally nnjustfable manner SO long as they lived, and
some are living still.
see two men in the street very often, who were
both as good as dead in the opinion of all who saw
them IN their extremity. People will insist ON liv.
ing sometimes. though manifestly moribund. In
Dr. Elders Life of Kane you will find story of
this sort told by DR.. Kane himself The captain of
ship was dying of scurvy, but the crew mutined,
and he gave up dying for the present to take care
of them. An old lady in this city near her end,
got little yexed about proposed change in her
will; made up her mind not to die lust then. or
dered coach, was driven twenty miles to the
house OF relative and lived for four years longer
Cotton Mather tells some good stories which he
picked up in his experience, or out Of his books
showing the unstable equilibrium Of prognosis.
Simon Stone was shot in nine places and as he lay
for dead, the Indians made two hacks with d
hatchet to cut his head of. He got well, how
ever, and was a lusty fellow in Cotton Mathers
time.
Jabez Musgrave was shot with a bullet that
went In his ear and came ont of his eye on the
other side. A couple of bullets went through his
body also. Jabez got well, however, and lived
many years. Per contra, Col Rossiter, cracking
plum stone with his teeth broke tooth, and losf
his life, We have seen physicians dying like Spi.
gellns, from q scratch. And man who had
erowbar shot through his head is alive and well.
These extreme cases are warnings. But yon can
never be too cautious in your prognosis, in the
view Of great uncertainty Of the course of any
disease not long watched, and the many unex-
pected turns It may take.
