wHAT TIE ENGINES SAID.
TFrom the Overland MonthIy.l


The OUerEdgsd for June crosses the
continent on the completed Pacific
Railroad. As there are few readers
who have not been told before that 1t
is the 81 greatest work of the age,'' they
viii, perhaps, overlook the omission
here of much of the popular rhetoric
in regard to $ indissoluble ties, - 'sWed-
ding Of the East to the West" etc.
But some who remember to have read
that g the two locomotives moved up
until their pilots rubbed together, sym
bOlic of the friendly salute of their re-
speetive owners" did not perhaps hear
WHAT THE ENGINES SAID.
What was 1t the Engines said,
Pilots touching-head to head
Facing on the single track,
Half a world behind each back!
This is what the Engines said,
UnrepOrted and unread!
With q PREDATORY screech,
In q dOrid Western Speech
said the Engine from the West:
q I am frUm Sierras crest;
And, IL altitude's test,
Why, reckon, it's confessed,
That We done my level best"
said the Engine from the East:
81 They who work best talk the least.
'Spose you whistle down your brakes;
What you've done is no great shakes;
Pretty fair-buL let our meeting
Be different kind Of greeting
Let these folks, with champagne stuf1ng,
Not their Engine, do the EDag1l7lg.
Listeni Where Atlantic beats
SHORES of SnuW and summer heats:
Where the Indian autumn skies
Paint the woods with Wa1npum dyes
have chased the flying sun.
Seeing all he looked upon
Blessing all that he has blest-
Nursing in my iron breast
All his VtvIfy1ng heat,
All his clouds about my crest;
And before my flying feet,
Every shadow must retreat
Said the Western Engine, " Phew -
And a long, low whistle blew,
81 Come now, really that's the oldest
Talk for one 80 very modest
You brag Of your East! You dO2
Why, I bring the EasL to 1a0ttg
All tue Orfent-all Cathay-
Find through Mss the shortest yyay
And The sun you IOIloW here,
Rises In my hemisphere.
Really-if one must be rude
Length, my friend, amt longitude"
Said the Union: g Don't reflect. or
I'll run over some Director"
Said the Central: - I m Pacific
But when riled, Pm quite terrific.
Yet to-day, we shall not quarrel
Just to show these folks this moral
How two Engfnes-in their vision
Once have met without collision"
That is what the Engines said,
UnIepOrted and unread,
Spoken slightly through the nose
Win whistle al the close.

Exhibition Of Deaf and Dumb In
Representasives'H Hail.

By resolution of both branches of the
Legislature, the use of Representative
Hall was rendered to Rev. Collins Stowe.
and at.three o'clock, pm, "wednesday. be
was introduced by his Excel.sncy, Cover
nor Washburne, to the audience, consist
ing of the members of both Houses and 3
large number of ladies and gentlemen,
who had assembled to witness the per-
formances of those under his care, consist-
ing of one lady teacher and three pupils.
The teacher was Miss Mary A. Mann, for
merly of West Randolph, who WAS edu-
Gated at Hartford, aud is now an accom-
plished and successful teacher, in which
business she has been engaged during tn
last fifteen years, at the institution in
which she obtained her education. The
pupils were: Gertrude \. Emerson OF
Dandy, VT, aged 10 years, who has been
in the institution five years aud is now n
member of the high class; Stanton T.
Wheeler of Plymouth, aged IA years, who
has been in the institution six years !;
Frank w. Bigelow, St Johnsbury, aged
Is; he has been under instruction about
one year: was entirely ignorant of the
manual alphabe. ct the time of his ad-
mission.
Mr.. Stowe prefaced his exhibition With
some very pertinent remarks, in which
he made feeling allusion to the unfcrtu-
nate class of people that he had been edu-
eating and which he delights in bringing
from darkness to light. He says the only
reason why all mutes do not speak is for
the simple reason that they cannot heS
sound. The education Of mutes was frs
attempted in France, afterwards in th.
United States, sand the asylum is the oldes'
and is sustained by fund Of Si6.GG0 T.
SIS, 900 per annum. The people of Yer
mont have the same interest in this fund
that Connecticut or any other State has.
for the institution is national, not sec
tional. In l760 an effort was made In
Edinburgh, by Thomas Brayward, To
teach the mute to speak, but it did moi
succeed, and is not likely to result in
much benefit to this unfortunate class OF
our community. The manual alphabet
and signs have been the most successful
The object of Mr.. Stoves visit to Yer
mont is not merely to show the progress
that his pupils had made, but also TO
learn, if possible, whether there are NOT
other deaf and dumb children in the
State that will go and be educated at the
asylum.
This institution has been in operation
52 years, and since its organization has
had 2OS from Vermont. OF this number,
the tuition of 1877 has been paid for by
the State. t
Nr. Stowe called Frank w. Bigslow to u
the istsnd and gave some very anasiss
and interesting exercises. First pvs'
