PROBABLY the fastest railway travelling ON
record occurred recently, on the Pennsylva-
MIA Railroad between Rola and York. A
heavy car of lumber got away with two
men in charge, on the down grade of so feet
to the mile. With elch succeeding mile the
speed of the flying car became more terrific,
and as it passed the tank five miles west of
the starting point, the velocity was more
than hundred miles an hour. Fortunately
an up grade arrested the car about six miles
west of Rolla, and the car was switched off
at York just in time to prevent a crash with
the freight train east, which, being behind
time, had not passed that point.

GEN A. L. HrLL.-A Southern paper
says: If the wandering death-bed utterances
Of the two great Confederate chieftains,
"Stonewall' jackson and Robert +. Lee,
may be considered final upon the matter,
then the late Confederate Gen. A. =. Hill
who lost his life at the closing battle of the
war, must be accepted by history as the
most trusted coadutor of theae eminent COM
manders. In his dying moments, Jackson
exclaimed, Send A. =. Hill to the front"
Upon his death bed at Lexington, Gen. Lee,
as the telegraph states, his mind reverting
to the bloody events of the war, "oncc Or
dered his tent to be struck, and at another
time ordered Hill to be sent for.' Thus
does it appear that in the supreme moments
of the closing hours of these men upon whose
shoulders rested the heaviest burdens of the
war upon the side of the Confederacy, came
the utterances, born of delirium, but more
solemn for that reason, that stamps Gen. A.
=. Hill as a man whose presence was to be
desired and whose fidelity was assured No
higher compliment could be paid to his mem
ory than these parting words of Lee and
Jackson.

1T.is surely fortunate for the country =
quietude and for the Federal treasury that
Grants favorite scheme of private plunder
and peculation, involving the annexation of
another negro princpality to the crown of
our empire was defeated by the persistent
efforts of Democrats in Congress and by the
cooperation of the better class of Radicals.
The Haytien part of the revolutionary is
lands is again embroiled with other districts,
and Baez, of San Domingo, seeks to over
throw the jolly black rascals, assassns and
thieves who ravage and rule in Hayti There
are Radicals, full-blown, already dominant
in Hayti at least revenue collectors have
robbed the treasury its last groat, and the
national bank notes" are beautifully coun-
F, terfeited In fact there is perfect sympathy
between the Grant party and administration
and the masters of Hayti What is very
curious is the fact that some of the counter
feiters, thieves and dcfaulters have been ar
rested, tried, convicted and executed while
Grant has never dreamed of hanging one of
the thieves who are.known to have stolen of
late something more than six millions of this
peoples hard-earned gains Haytien pub
| lie morals are so evidently superior to ours,
as illustrated in the conduct of our masters
at Washington, that the people of that un-
happy island abhor the idea Of annexation
The chiefs alone belonging to Grants ring
are anxious for the consummaton of his
schemes of personal aggrandizement. We
congratulate the San DOMINICAN negroes on
| their escape from the clutches of remorseless
thieves who had such beautiful plan de-
vised for the sudden acquisition of vast
wealth by the sudden introduction of this
new negro State or province, on terms who'll
ly convertible, into the Federal Union.

A Dead Woman Buried Comes to Life.

We are indebted to 4. r. Steinmitz, Esq, q,
of this city, for the particulars Of case is
real life, which in all elements of she marvel
lous, is fully equal to the most extravagant
propuction of the story writers, and furnishes
another substantiation of the truism, that
''truth is stranger than fiction" A young
lady about twenty years of age-Margaret
Anderson, by name-came to this city about
a year ago; she came with a company of
relatives and friends from Denmark, and
lived here until about the first of July last.
The male members of the family found en-
ployment on the line of the Union Pacific
railroad, and found it convenient to remove
their domicile nearer to the place of their
work; consequently, a part of the family
moved out to Big Spring Station, on the Pa
cific road, and among those who went was
Margaret Here everything went on pleas
antly till about the 1st of September, when
Margaret was taken sick, and after a severe
illness of about two weeks, she babe her
friends goodbye, and her spirit took its
flight to that bourne whence no traveller re-
turns. AT least SO the situation presented
itself to her sorrowing friends, and to all
human appearances, nobody was ever more
really dead, and no case more hopelessly
past all surgery. The same day that she
died, the friends at Big Springs wrote to the
relatives in this city, giving particulars of
her sickness and DEATH On the second day
after she had apparently breathed her last,
a rude coffin was provided, and the friends
concluded that the remains should be tenn
porarily inferred upon the prairie until such
time as would be more convenient to take
them to permanent resting place
Big Springs is simply watering station
on the Pacific Railroad there is no settle
ment at that place, and nobody lives there
but those employed by the company, conse-
quently the last sad rites had to be perform
ed by the members of her own family, and
her body was laid to rest by the hands of
sonowng friends But just as the coffin
had been lowered to its place, and few
shovelsful of earth thrown into the grave, an
approaching train called the burial party to
duty at the station. After an absence of an
hour, the men returned to the grave, and as
they were about to resume work with their
shovels, they heard a noise in the partially
buried coffin, giving evidence of kicking and
pounding, and other conduct very unbecom-
ing well-bred corpse, and, as may be sup
posed, after recovering from their fright, they
lost no time in uncovering and opening the
coffin, to see what had disturbed the dead
womans rest. The remainder of the story
may be better imagined than described
Suffice it to say that Margaret's friends and
relatives in this city, who had mourned her
as dead, have just received a letter written
by her own hand, very emphatically denying
that she had dispensed with her mortal coil,
and saying that she will be here in the course
of few days.-Counca BluG (lo,ca) Nom
pariel, October I'd.

A FELINE HoarERIc The following poem
was published sometime since III the Golden
Era. 1t is Homeric in its style, and COM
plete in itself:
On a pine wood-shed, in alley dark, where
scattered moonbeams shifting through row
of tottering chimneys and awnings torn and
dropping, fell, strobe back and forth with
stiff and tense-drawn muscles, and peculiar
tread, cat.
His name was Norval; on yonder neigh
boring shed his father caught the rats, that
came in squads from streets beyond Dupont,
in search of food and strange adventure.
Grim war he courted, and his twisted tail
and spine upheaving in fantastic curve, and
claws distended, and ears fatty pressed
against head thrown back, defantly told
of impending strife.
With eyes agleam, and screaching blasts
of war. and steps as silent as the falling dew
young Norval crept along the splintered edge,
and gazed a moment through the darkness
down, with tail awag triumphantly.
Then, with an imprecation and growl--
perhaps an oath in drcst vengeance hssed-
he started back and crooked in body like a
letter S, Or rather like U inverted, stood
in fierce expectancy.
Twas well. With eye balls glaring and
ears aslant, and open mouth in which two
rows of fangs stood forth in sharp and dread
conformity, slap up post from out the dark
below head appeared.
The dreadful tocsin of Internal strife young
Norval uttered then with face unblanched
and mustache standing straight before his
nose, and tail flung wildly to the passing
breeze, stepped back in cautious invitation
to the foe.
Approaching each other, and with prep
arations dire, each cat surveyed the vantage
of the field. Around they walked, with
tails uplifted and backs high in air, while
from their mouths in accents kissing with
consuming rage, dropped brief but awful
sentences OF hate.
Twice around the roof they went in circle,
each eye upon the foe intently bent; then
sideways moving as is wont with cats, gave
one long-drawn, terrific savage y-e-o-w, and
buckled in.
The fur flew. A mist of hair hung DER
the battle field. High above the din of pas
sing wagons rose the dreadful tumult of the
struggling cats. So cleaned their eyes in
frenzy that to me, who saw the conflict from
the window near, naught else was plain but
CORY stars, that moved in orbits most eccen-
trio.
An hour they struggled in tempestuous
fight, when faint and fainter grew the squall
of war; until all sound was hushed. Then
went forth with lantern, and the field sur
veyed--what saw /?
Six claws, one ear-of teeth, perhaps a
handful, naught else except a solitary tail.
That tail was Norval's; by ring l knew it.
The ear was-but we'll let the ear pass.
The tail will do without the ear.

THE SCORNFUL NOSE.

'Tis very true, o maiden fair,
You're pleasant to the sight,
With flowing bcks of golden hair
And eyes Of flashing light.
Upon your checks health loves to train
; The lilly and the rose,
But something makes your beauty vain,
1t dwells upon your nose!
Not that the lovely nose could find
Upon lovlier face,
Mid all the flower Of womankind,
A more beftting place.
But there's curl upon its tip,
Half comic, half severe,
In cool collusion with the lip
That savors of q sneer.
So beauty bright, if you would we'd,
When lovers come to WOO,
Beware the tossing of the head,
The glance that looks askew,
Men ask for love. and not for wit,
That scorches where it glows,
'Tis heart, not head, you ought to hit
Uncurl your scornful nose
