PREcEPT AND Practice. Tho editor
of Forney's Press breaches very good
doctrine sometimes, but his practice
is bad. 1t is notorious throughout the
State that the Philadelphia Radicals
have nominated at least eight of the
corruptcst men-real political harots
for the Senate and Assembly. Pre-
vious to the nominations the Press
daily demanded none but good mcn
for those positions. Since, however,
it has been fully demonstrated that
the corruption ring rules tho Radical
party in that city, hence the Press
man calls upon his country cousins to
come to the rescue and save the next
Legislature from being controlled by
"rings and roosters." In his issue of
the 22d he volunteers the following !:
We trust that the agitation in the country over
the nomination of none but good and honest men
for the Legislature will not be allowed to die out.
llc wants tho agitation to go on in
the country That's good. Why not
keep it up in the city, also ?

HEROIC Coypucr or . Dp.ursv.,

HEROIC CONDUCT OF A BRAKEsMAN.
The Mobile and Ohio Railroad carry
what is called a combuslible car, one
in which they transport coal oil and
powder. Yesterday morning as freight
train No. g. Jack Baker conductor
was going south, at Rutherford Sta.
ton, before day, with his lamp Baker
went in the car TO get out barrel of
gasoline. From some cause the gas
became ignited, and in moment the
barrel, side and floor of the car were
in flames. Notwithstanding there
were forty kegs of powder in the car,
Il. Tiffany, brakesman, ran and seized
his blankets, dashed into the car, and
actually smothered out the names.-
His blankets, his hands, clothes and
face. were burned, while the car was
badly scorched. Captain Sprout, of
tho ice car, assisted materially. Too
much credit cannot be awarded Tif.
fany for his coolness, his devotion to
duty. As man Of a family, he risled
too much, and President Murdock
cannot prize such man too highly.
Praise is good enough, in its own
way, but reward of few thousand
dollars would be much better for
brakesman Tiffany. A man who per.
forms such n feat as Tiffany has, de.
serves something more substantial
than praise for his noble conduct
