This, in consequence of many disputes as

APerila,Is Situation.

The Portland (Oregon) Bulletin gives
the following account of one of the most
thrilling incidents we have ever heard of,
as occurring on the Oregon and Califor-
mia railroad, between Portland and Salem /:
when the down train came near one
of the stations on the road, it was running
at full speed in order to make up time,
as it was few minutes behind. The road
at this point runs through cut something
more than mile in length, and in enter
ing it the road makes curve, so that the
engineer cannot see through it, He had
hardly gotten into the cut before be saw a
woman riding -leisurely through it, using
the centre of the track. She was not more
than half way through the cut, and barely
a quarter of mile ahead of him. He
Immediately whistled ''down brakes" and
then sounded the warming. r-
The woman hearing the peculiar death
whistle of the locomotive, looked over her
shoulder and saw the train rushinga at her.
She did not shrek or faint, nor give up
all hope, but like true Webfoot, her
courage rose equal to the emergency and
without moments hesitation she COM
mcnced swinging her riding whip from
one shoulder of her steed to the other,
thereby urging him to exert his utmost
speed.
The shrieking of the locomotive caus-
ed the passengers to look out of the win
dows, and upon their discovering what was
the matter the widest excitement ensued.
Several jumped forward and seized the
bell rope and commenced pulling on it, as
if they could stop the train by that means.
The brakesmen were exerting all their
had cut off the connection, and was doing
all that he knew to stop the train, while
the woman was doing her level best to
urge that bit of horse flesh to speed, but
all in vain, the locomotive kept gaining
on Le:, and there was scarcely a person on
the train who did not expect that both the
woman and horse would be killed. There
was perhaps thirty feet intervening be-
tween the,ccw catcher and the horses heels,
when fortunately for the woman, she OBJ
served a place which was a little wider
than usual, and with steady rein she
guided the feeting horse frem the track
and cndeavored to press him against the
wall of the cut, in order that the train
might pass without injury.
''In doing this the woman was encour-
aged by Sam Winans, the conductor, who
had run forward and got ON the locomo-
tive. A few seconds only passed by
when the fiery monster poked his nose
past the rnmp of the horse. AT this mo-
ment Winans threw his whole force against
the animal and held him until the train
stopped, and then a rousing cheer of graf
ifcation and joy at the escape of the wo-
man from terrible death was given.''

N. VILLEMArN left behind posthunnous "History
OF Gregory VII, )" which is soon to be published The
history OF the manuscript OF this book is one of the
most curious on record The voluminous disserta-
tions were begun forty years ago and were not COM
pletea till 1851. When Villemain died his family
were about to publish 1t, but the outbreak Of the
war prevented. When Paris was threatened by
the Germans the manuscript was sent ont Of the
city to Anglers. That town, in its turn, being
threatened with invasion, Lord Lyons, British
Minister at Paris, was solicited to receive the book
under his protection but declined. At last the
precious documents reached Bordeaux, whence
they travelled back to Paris in time to be burned
by the Commune; but tie house in which they
were stored happily escaped destruction, and they
are now in the hands OF the printer.
