A SAD SroUy.-Tho Scranton (Pennsylyania)
RPpblicaa tells a mournful story Of casualty
on the Lackwaua and Bloomsbury railroad
lately A Mrs. Gayeu, with three children, two
little boys aged five aud seven years, and babe,
were at the depot at Pttston, to take a train.
She put her two little boys in q car, and then
returned to the station for the babe Meau-
while the tain started. The stadon-master sig
nailed the conductor to stop and the little boys
screamed at being carried away from their
mother. But il seemed that tho train neither
stopped nor was any care taken Of the children.
The mother telcgraphed to put them OF at Scran-
ton. Nothing further is known Of them until
they were found on the railway track about two
o'clock in tho morning of the following day
the youngest one killed, and the other one "
shoulder. The poor little wanderers had been
run down by train, in deep cut; but how or
whythey were OFF the train, no one knows. We
have rarely read more distressing story

THE Uhlcago F05l, N the course Of a modest
article on that city, says BY no possibility
can New York extend beyond Two Hundred and
Twcnty-6hh street. There the Spuyten Duyyil
comes in and bars all progress. Chicago can go
90 to Seventeen Thousand Nine Hundred and
Eghty-seyenth street without any obstruction.
AS 1887 is greater than 225, so viii Chicago bo
greater than New York in the good time coming.

A SPANMRp named Gelabert was convicted in
one Of tine interior counties Of killing his brother
partly on the testimony Of n confession made in
Spanish to an American who understands very
little Of that language. On the trial, the counsel
for defendant objected to the admission of that
evidence ON the ground that tho witness UNDER
stood only part Of Gelabert statement. His
objection was oycrrulas but the Supreme Court
hold that il should have been sustained If a
person accused Of crime makes a statement in
The nature of confession it must be taken as
whole. A witness is not permitted to give one
part asd omit another The part omitted might
show Justification, and remove the character Of
crime from the act In the case under consider
aton as the witness only understood part OF the
statement Of Gelabert 10 was impossible for him
TO give the whole of it, and, therefore, the Su-
preme Court thought all should be excluded.

MEN WAErED.-Iho great want Of the age is
men, Men who are not for sale, Men who are
honest, sound from center to circumference.
True to the heart core. Men who will condemn
wrong in friend or foe, in themselves rs well as
others. Men whose consciences are steady as the
needle to the pole. Men who will stand for the
right If the heavens totter and The earth reels.
Men who can tell the truth and look the world
and the devil right in the eye. Men who can
have courage without shouting to it, Men who
neither lag nor finch. Men in whom the cur
rent Of everlasting life runs still, deep aud
strong. Men too large for sectarian bonds.
Men who know their message aud tell it. Men
who, knowing their places, ill them. Men who
mind their own business Men who will not lie.
Men who are not too lazy to work, nor too
proud to be poor. Men who are willing too eat
what they have earned wear what they have
paid for.

RED BLUFF may lay claim TO the honor Of hay-
ing invented the last new thing in ghosts. They
had one there the other night which devoted it,
self to passing from one drinking saloon to an
other, ordering liquor, and then vanishing with
out drinking it. His last feat proves the super
natural character Of the visitor. No live Cali
fornian was ever known to order drinks and
then vanish without surrounding them. Neither,
hoWever, do we remember that any ghost on
record ever ordered drinks. 1t is probable that
this was the spirit Of some old hummer, whose
ruling passion was strong after DEATH aud who
only realized the painful fact that he 40 longer
possessed any place to put it, when he had or
dered the liquor to be set forth
