How Four LITTLE BOYS Took A RAILROAD
RrDE.-A locomotive running IS an extra on
the Hudson River Railroad, arrived at New
Hamburger from P0ughkeepsie on saturday, be
ing stopped there by telegram from that city,
in consequence Of a singular, and what might
have been tragic, incident. Before the loco
motive left Poughkeepsie, four little boys, who
were playing about the depot, surprising It was
switch engine, and only going a little way
down the track, climbed steslthily upon the
wooden guard Just above the bumper on the rear
of the tender This guard is only SIX inches
wide Three Of the boys sat down upon the
guard, with their legs hanging over, snd the
fourth got astride Of the iron link which pro-
trudes from the bumper. They could not be
seen by the men upon the engine, which moved
off and continued increasing its speed until II
was going at the rate Of forty miles an hour as
was ordered. The boys were in a terrible situs-
ton. They dared not climb to the top Of the
tender for fear of losing their balance, and their
cries were drowned by the noise Of the engine.
Over bridges and on the edge Of pIecipicet they
were whirled, the tender surging to and fro, the
dust filing their eyes and noses, and almost
choking them to death, and entirely obscuring
them from the view Of the isgmen and track
men who we're passed. The locomotive was sig
ualed by Mr.. James Signor, he having seen
the boys on the resr of the locomotive when
it lef, Pougbkeepsie The poor little fellows
presented a sorry sight, as they were covered
with dust from head to foot. The boy who WAS
astrde of the link was unable to walk when
taken of, his legs being swfnlly chafed by the
motion of the engine The hands Of other boys
were bliftered terribly, and the blood oozed out
from under their fnger-nsils, SO tightly had
they grsspei the woodwork of the tender.
They were nearly exhausted, and could have
maintained their position but little longer, when
they would have been probably instantly killed
by the fall. They were taken back to Pough-
keepse. where the incident had become noised
about, and large crowd of people was in wait
ing at the depot to see them when the train they
were on arrived.

Dir. petermann, the we'll known
gcographer, writes to several Ger
man papers to announce the success
Of aa Arctic expedition. According
10 dispatch received by him few
days ago, dated Tromsoe, October
3, Lieutenants Weypreoht and
Layer, the Que of the German
navy, tue other OF the Austrian en-
ginecrs, have penetrated TO the 10th
degree north latitude, and actually
discovered the open Arctic Sea, 80
long the FL Dorado and Fata Nor
CANA OF northern explorers. The
feat was accomplished in u Norwe
gian sloep, penetrating northward-
between Spitzbergan and Nova
Zembla. The discoveries. who them
selves chartered the ship, report
having found an opea sea from the
list degree to the Goth degree east
longitude, which they navigated up
TO the 18th degree north latitude.
The greatest width was at the 18Th
degree north latitude, ana but little
ice was 10 be seen northward. A.
this occurred in September, there
seems To be chance that the long
south passage to the extreme north
has been found at last. Al amy
rate, it must he admitted that the
anticipations OF DR.. Pe,ermann, who
longe recommended trip north oi
SpitZberyen. are borne out bV th,

The table shows how the votes
will be distributed among the States,
and how they are likely to be cast.
We have, however, placed no States
in the Republican column in regard
to which there is the least particle
of question while Missouri aud New
Jersey. which are reckoned in
amongst the doubtful States, arc, in
our judgment, morally certain to
vote the Republican ticket. But as
there has been no election in Mis-
souri, since enfranchisement, to
demonstrate the fact. of which we
are fully convinced, that the State is
still Radical, and rs New Jersey
elected q Democratic Governor in
the recent canvass, although choos-
ing, at the same time, a Republican
Legislature, we have removed them
from the column of Republican
States. We believe they will come
back with victorious colors, aud de.
mand their righlul place. Thera
are other States in this doubtful
column which may be shown 10 the
progress Of the canvass to be wrongly
classified.
But as it stands, the Republican
candidate will have .forty-seuen more
votes than are necessary for his cleo.
tion. Give the Democracy every
doubtful State and Nep York in ad-
dition, and its candidate will still be
defeated by . majority Of % elec-
toral votes. The probability is that
Gen. Grant, if tho candidate OF the
National Republican Convention,
will receive scarcely less than too
hundred and J!fty electoral votes, and
popular majority Of hundreds Of
thousands.-Mo. Democrat.
