Heroic Deed.

Yesterday afternoon, says the G rass
Valley Union of Saturday, a freight
train going east LEFT Colfax station.
After proceeding a few miles, and be-
fore the train reached Cape Horn,
nineteen freight car became detached
from the locomotive, and these came
back toward Colfax at great speed.
There was danger that the runaway
ears would meet the passenger train,
then almost due. A stranger at Col
fax, standing on the platform by the
side of the track, saw the laundering
train coming down the grade, and bent
OH destruction. The stranger nerved
himself and jumped upon the loosened
train Of cars. He then quietly put
down the brakes and soon succeeded In
stopping the train. The nan who did
that was n hero. We learn that the
man who stopped the runaway train Is
a brakeman Of the Central Pacific
Railroad. His name Is Michigan.
Tho Sacramento Union Of yesterday
gives the following sequel to the story
of this brave brakeman
Through some accident he had been
left at a station by the train, and this
sriiing accident secured his presence
on the ground to prevent what might
have been a calamity. Parties on the
passenger train subscribed a purse of
$50 as q testimonial to him, and one
OF the passengers offered him a better
situation than that he held, but the
offer was declined.

frustrated. But nothing daunted, In
the evening he signihed his Intention

The House Committee on Commerce
have, it appears, agreed to report a
bill which proposes to revive our COM
MERGE by the payment Of large boun-
ties to ship.bullders and ship-owners.
1t provides that the Secretary Of the
Treasury, the Secretary of War, the
Postmaster General and the Secretary
of the Interior shall constitute a Ma
.ional Board Of Commerce, with the
power to contract for line of steam
ers from New York to England and
the Continent Of Europe; another
from some other Atlantic port-doubt-
less meaning Philadelphia-to Europe /;
a third from New York to Mexico n
fourth from San Francisco to Australia
and the East Indies; aud q fifth from
New Orleans to Mexico; and to pay
in bounties to the shipping thus con-
sracsed for, $40 per ton per annum for
i've years OH not more than 5OO,OOO
tons. The amount of the bounties pay
able the first year Is limited to $l0O, 900,
of which $50, 900 Is to be distributed to
the Atlantic and Gulf lines, $4,000 to
tho lines sailing on the Pacific, and
$4,000 for tonnage constructed on the
lakes, the Ohio and the Mississippi
riverside per ton for iron vessels, IS
per ton for wooden ships over 400 tons

The Board is also authorized to award
bounties to lines now subsidized, the
same as to new lines, including the

pectations of those framing this bill be
realized, and iron tonnage be built
within the next five years to the extent
Of 800, 900 tons, the amount drawn
from the Treasury In compliance with
lts provisions during that time would
not be less than $25, 900, 900, besides
what would be paid for wooden vessels
and lines already established.

TIE NEXT ROYAL VISITOR.

Sclons and representatives Of the
royal families Of both European and
Eastern nations Of late years have
taken quite a fancy to visit the United
States, and view the manners, customs
and prosperity Of our healthy young
Republic, as we'll as to experience the
spontaneous, willing hospitality of the
American people. The royal Japanese
are the present well-pleased guests,
and Alexis has but just left our hos
pitable continent full Of kindly remsm-
brances Of the hearty welcome, con-
sldsrate attentions and distinguished
honors so freely accorded him every
where in the land. He thus expressed
himself to a correspondent at Havana
relative to his tour through the United
States: "IfI had anything unpleasant
to say, I should remain silent, and not
answer your question; but my stay
wa so pleasant, and the people were
so kind, that I can only regret l could
not remain longer; and II I did not
have my path in life laid out for me, l
should like to live in America alto
gether, dividing my time from May to
January between New York and the
prairies, and spending tho remainder
in New Orleans. may 60 back there
If | can" According to the late Eu-
ropean mails, the next royal visitor to
the United States will be Prince Fred
erick Charles, Of Prussia, who took
such an active part In the German and
French war, and In whose gallant
deeds the American people took such
a deep interest-an interest not ex-
celled by that entertained by his own
countrymen. 1t Is stated, says the
Sacramento Union, that the Emperor
William has frequently expressed the
wish to our Minister at his court that
some one Of his own immediate house.
hold might be able to visit our country
aud judge himself Of our customs and
institutions. The Prince has evidently
sisnihed his acqulesccnce In the En-
peror's desire, and he may be looked
for probably during the coming Sum-
mer. 1t is not unlikely that he will
be accompanied BY his wife, said to be
a lady OF imposing presence and high
accomplishments. They will be very
heartily welcomed throughout the
country.

THE mxicAN REBELLION.

Within the last two or three weeks
the aspect of affairs in Mexico has be-
come decidedly improved, as far as the
Government aseendancy Is concerned.
With the death Of General Diaz, the
leader Of the revolu.ionists, the back
bone Of the rebellion seems to have
broken,h nd the subsequent successes OF
Government troops on various battle
fields have decided the supremacy.
Telegraphic dispatches from the City
of Mexico to the 1lth instant, state
that the Government forces are trium-
phing over the Revolutionists every
where ; that General Rocha, on the I'd
instant, with 5000 troops, defeated the
united Revolutionary forces, number
ing 5000 men, killing and w~ounding
700 and capturing 1000 and all their
artillery except three guns. This
victory Is claimed to DO a death blow
TO tho rebellion, yet anarchy may rea-
sonably be expected to prevail to a
considerable extent until the Govern
ment shall be able to fully regulate
things as they should be, once more.
How long peace will reign throughout
our periodically distracted sister Re-
public, however, remains to DO seen.
