Heroic Action of n Brakem an l..

Yesterday morning at two o'clock,
conductor Strunk's train, first section
of the express freight, west, when one
mile east of Emporium, ran over a
broken rail, a piece fully six feet long of
the track flying out, the momentum
carrying the train past, fortunately,
without accident; but there was the
other section of the freight following,
and conductor Strunk's Hagman (sorIy
we couldn't get the name,) without
orders, and in the face of mortal peril,
grasped his lamps and sprang from the
train while under full headway, right in
4 narrow cut, the velocity rolling
bin heels over head, and the shock
extinguishing both his lamps, as the
train sped on. He picked himself up,
relit his lamps, found the break, and
hurried back to warn the approaching
train as fast as his severe shaking
woEd permit of 1t was further behiHd
than he anticipated, and he was nearly
frozen to death in the mountain gorge
while waiting about half an hour for
its appearance. Closely following the
second section of the freight was the
passenger train, the occupants of which
grumbled at a delay, knowing nothing
of the fearful disaster probably avoided
by the intrepid conduct of the flagman.
But for this prompt action there would
doubtless have been a wreck of the
freight train, and probably ofthe passen-
ger train behind. Dispatch.

jenkins About Hair.

Do you kGOw that gray hair is the
acme of ambitious attempt for society
women just now : 1t is charming it is
adorable. Those who are so fortunate
as to possess q profusion of it puff it a
la Martha Washington, and wear a raw.
.shing pink rose just over the ear. Or
else point lace barbe fastened by an
aigrette of diamonds. Or else white
plume held by button Of pearls. Danes
of blonde or raven hair powder it pro-
fusely, and are there with much annoy
ed. For the powder sits gradually over
pretty costumes and bare shoulders and
lodges unpleasantly in delicate eye
brows. A handsome young gentleman
of the press has a magnificent mass OF
hair, gray as the wing of an elder duck.
To match this beauty of his, his pretty
brunette wife invariably powders her
hair, making her look like stately bells
of Lely's evoking. Madame Jessie Fre-
mont has the prettiest gray hair of any
woman in society. 1t lies in great soft
waves upon her handsome brow, above
the brilliant eyes. 1t flutters, and
twines, and curls around her statuesque
white throat, and its heavy coil centin-
ually waves a magic charm before the
appIeciative eyes of those already taken
captive by her graciousness and perfect
ease of demeanor. This is "fowery
speech" !" but its true.

"A uystery Solved.

A Methodist minister, who was quaint
In his manner, had son who was at
tending public school. Though by no
means deficient in natural ability, this
son returned from school few months
since with report of scholarship below
the average.
"Wen," said his father, "you've fallen
behind this month, have you"
"Yes, sir.D
"How did that happeni'
Don't know, sir"
The father knew, if the son did not.
He had observed q number of dime
novels scattered about the house, but
had not thought it worth while to say
anything until a fitting opportunity
should offer itself.
A basket of apples stood on the floor,
and he said, Empty out these apples
and take the basket and bring it 10 me
half full of chips Suspscting moth.
ing, he obeyed. "Pat these apples back
in the basket"
'Put 'em in, l tell you."
"But, father, l can't"
"Do You expect to fill basket half
full of chips and then fill it with ap-
plesf You said you didn't know why
you fell behind at tschool, and will tell
you. Your mind is like that basket.
1t will not hold more than so much.
And there you've been the past month

boy turned on his heel, whistled, and
said:
"Whew l see the point"
Not dime novel has been seen in the
house from that day to this.

Bad Maungement In Farming.

Ifthe fertility of the soil is not main
tained, by judicious system of renova-
tioD, land will soon become badly i'm
poverished. Continuing to raise only
one kind of grain will never pay.
Many, once good farms, have produced
wheat, lchedt, WHEAT for a number of
successive seasons, until the crops were
so poor, that no man would harvest and
thrash the grain for it. Failing to pro-
duce wheat, oats were sowed from year
to year; and every valuable product has
been removed from the sol and nothing
has been returnd to it. This practice
has been continued until it has become
difficult to raise half a crop of any kind
OF grass, either for pasture or hay. On
such farms, we hear doleful story
about laboIing very hard and receiving
small compensat,On on for services zen
dered. Farming Will not pay with such
management.
THE selfish farmer thinks to cheat the soil
But he III turn. is cheated of his TOLL"
There is another very bad leakage on
msny farms, whose preprietors are iR-
cessanUly whining because farming pays
no better. / refer TO the pract CO of
cutting drains into the barn.yards for
the purpose of carrying off The watsr
and the liquid manure, which would
otherwise lender them too wet for com
fort and convenience. This practice
abonnds too extensively; aud it is very
inconsistent with paying tarming;"
and those who get lid of their liquid
manure IN this manner, will always he
heard to complain that farming il a very
laborsus, poor paying occupation. Ny
good friends, yon must stop those places
where that liquid manure leaks out. for
that is one Of the greatest sources of
fertility of the farm; and as long as
those channels are kept open, you will
be complaining, that farming does not
seem t7pay very WELL" and will wonder
why it does not pay better"

of those letters were written before the
nieHigencer containing the docsment
alluded to could possibly have reached
the writers. They we're doubtless in
formed in advance of what would be
attempted. and without careful calcu-
lation of dates, put forth their epistol-
airy contributors to the general move
ment to "fire the public mind" But
the game, so far as it relates to an extra
session, is merely make believe. It's not
designed to do that, for the reasssm-
bling of the Legislature would merely
cause the people Of Charleston to send
forward such evidence as would blow
the Governor and his patchwork
story of rebe llion sky-high.
While the people may be somewhat
Indifferent to this Radical scheme for
carrying the next election, deeming one
Radical Governor more or less of little
consequence in view of what they have
already borne, yet they cannot be indif-
ferent to the effect of this studied and
widespread Misrepresentation in de-
stroying the reputation of the State. 1t
was often charged against FOREMAN
that he was ontinually and causelessly
proclaimiRg the people of West Vir-
ginia to be a rebellious set, among whom
Northern men could not live. But the
worst and meanest of BoREMAN's
Misrepresentation never produced
a tithe of the mischief that
will be wrought by the reckless
and unfounded assertions of lawlesness
on the part of the people of Kanawha
that have been sent abroad under Gov.
ernor STEvENsoN's sanction. There
was every indication that the tide Of
immigration would this Spring set in
strongly to the Kanswha Valley, bear
ing thither large nambers of industri
Gus, enterprising and useful settlers.
The progress OF the Chesapeake and
Ohio road, as we'll as the location of
the Capital, was calculated to give
impetus to the settlement and
of that country.
But the Governor has effectually
warned off population from that region.
He has in effect advised everybody that
the Kanawha region is in state of out
lswry, that life and property are not
safe there, and many will accept his
advice. Unfortunately for the State,
this is one of the cases in which the
facts cannot obliterate the effect of the
fiction. "a lie travels q league while
Truth puts on his boots" The truth
will never overtake the falsehoods
which the telegraph carried abroad on
Wednesday.

Thurman.

Among the sketches of several men,
bsrs of the United States Senate, furn-
ished by Washington correspondent of
the World, is the following: "The head
of the Democratic party in the Senate
the Hon. A. G.. Thurman, of Ohio-is
one of the iron sort of men. lron-gray
tinges his complexion; his form, though
not over-tall, is sinewy, and his face is
set and hard. There is not SO much
fight as force in that man. He docs not
strike, but cuts and presses his way
straight through what he would accom-
plish. His VTgiDian birth is seen in his
thin muscular form. If the next fifteen
years do not give him good chance to
make his own place in the Democratic
party, there will be some wasted oppor..
tunity for Mr.. Thurman to answer for"

Waking Reputation for the State.

The Pittsburgh papers, and we sup
pose the papers of every city in the
country re ached by telegraph, contained
Yesterday an inflammatory dispatch
relative to tho Charleston Ku-Klux hum
bug. 1t was a grossly exaggerated re-
production of the gross exaggerations
printed in the Intelligtncer on Tuesday,
concerning the same subject. The Gov
ernor and the Inielligencer freely vented
their freusy on Tuesday. If the mat
ter had then been deemed worth tele-
it would have been sent off on
that day. But we find no such action
taken. The use of the telegraph seems
to have been an .afterthought, And so
on Wednesday, after the subject had
received further consideration, and
when it had been concluded to stir up
the public after the "manufac'
tured outrage" plan of the Radicals IN
Georgia and Tennessee, we find the
iightHing of the telegraph called in
to herald the thander of the Executive,
and on Thursday the whole country
hears the racket Evidently the origi
nal story failed to have any effect
upon our own people, and therefore tie
outside public must be stirred up; it
must be prepared to back Governor
in his demand for troops, 50
that the protests of West Virginia could
not be heard amid a general uproar
over her alleged lawlessness and need
of bayonet discipline.
In order that our readers may form
some idea of the reckless iDdecency
that has characterized this proceeding,
we reprint the dispatch sent abroad
from this city on Wednesday, and the
account given of the Jail delivery in
Charleston by the Kanatrha Republican,
a paper published in that town. The
telegram is thus given by the Pitts
burgh Commercial:

1t is fact easily demonstrated says
the Chicago Times, that the carpet bag
gers engaged in selling cadetships have
less brains than Grant. They sold ap-
pointments, and gave the money for
partisan and charitable purposes. When
Grant sells appointments, he keeps the
money himself. 1t Is we'll for Grants
reputation that his superiority over the
average carpet-bagger should be estab-
lished in, at least, one respect. He sells
an appointment for house and Whit
tenore is turned ont of the House for
selling one. That is the difference.

Female Suffrage and "Ipjun Fiiiu''


A bill has been introduced in Con-
gress for the organization of the militia
of Wyoming Territory, with view, it
is supposed, to a hostile campaign
against the Indians. 1t so happens that
the women of Wyoming are now voters,
Jurors and office. holders, aud the best
Congressional lawyers are of the opin-
ion that they will have to do militia
duty like men. The New York Tribune
is of this opinion. The Wyoming
women, we judge, know what they are
about and do not crave newspaper sym.
pathy. A telegram from Chicago Gays
a letter has been received by General
Sheridan, which concludes as follows
"The posts and settlers in Wyoming
will soon feel the effects of this change
of disposition in the Sioux, and some OF
the best Indians here think We will feel
it on the Missouri river also.'
