A BRUTUS IN HUMBLE LIFE.-The Eyenino
Post of Monday says: "Albert G. Drecker is
the Waterman of the Passaic river drawbridae
on the New York and Newark railroad. whose
business it is to see that the draw is closed up-
on tie approach of the trains. On Friday af-
ternoon last, just before passenger train was
to pass the bridge, the draw was open and Mr..
Drecker began to close it. The train was not
yet in sight, but the watchman knew it was
coming, and that no time should be lost in
putting the bridge in its proper position.
While engaged in closing the draw, little son
OF Mr.. Drecker, ten years old, fell from the
bridge into the deep water below To save the
child's life would be an easy matter, but Mr..
Drecker now saw the train laundering along
the track, and knew that the rescue of his how
would involve the destruction Of the train
What was he to do.
We may well suppose it was moment of
supreme agony. His child was drowning he
1ore his eyes, and its life could only be pur-
chased at the loss of many other lives that
were in his hands. God mercifulIy snare ms
from the bitter anguish of such a trial as was
forced upon Drecker! He stood by his dutv
the bridge was closed, and the train passed
safely over it but the boy was drowned. Lit
, ue utu any passenger in that train dream at
What a fearful struggle between sense of dn-
~ ana tne natural promptings of the human
heart the safe passage OF the bridge had been
secured.
Such is the story of Albert G. Drecker. His
torians and poets have told us
"How well Horatius kept the bridge
In the brave days of DID,"
but the Jersey railroad servant 'lkept the
bridge" at a costler sacrifice than the Roman
Captain. And what remains? Drecker is 4
poor man; his position in life is an humble
one, and, while his loss is irreparable, his no.
BILE conduct may be rewarded. The railway
company owes him heavy debt; the passen.
gers on that Friday afternoon train should
deem it privilege to contribute to raise d
monument to the child, to fifty commemorate
the deed, and the press throughout The land
should let his name be known everywhere,

THE new paper called the Republic, pub
lished in New York, has the impudence to
complain of The Presidents insensibility on
the occasion Of General Rawlins death.
Every person of intelligence must have been
profoundly impressed by the tenderness of
feeling exhibited. not only by the President
but by Sheridan and other military officers
toward their old commander.

PROGRESS. Columbus sailed to the Ameri-
can coast in four hundred ton ship, and first
landed upon the Island Of st. Domingo. Last
week vessel from st. Domingo unloaded in
New York over four hundred tons of st. Croix
rum for P. H. Drake & Co.. of that city, This
is but weeks supply of this article, which
these gentlemen use in the manufacture of the
celebrated Plantation Bitters. We are inform
ed by an exchange that Messrs. Drake & Co
have not advertised dollar for year, but that
the sales of this article continue at the former
enormous figure. In 1864 the receipts of the
Plantation Bitters were equal to those of the
New York s. New Haven Railroad.
