The Galveston Bulletin has this railroad



information:
We learn from Captain Jack E. Labatt,
i JUS. down from the northern portion Of the
State, that collision had occurred between,
the employees OF the Houston and Texas
Central railroad and the employees of the
Missouri, Kansas and Texas road, on the
disputed ground between Red river and
Red River City, the junction; that each
road, as we have stated heretofore in our
de3a SIT items w.: was grading the same route
ground.
The intention to make Red River City
the junction will be frustrated, as one Of
these roads has laid out rival city.
An injunction had been issued which
stopped the work Of 600 hands, but which
company was enjoined we did not learn.
This litigation and conflict is unfortunate
in one respect, as it will delay the connec-
tion and good feeling between these roads,
but if it exasperates the Missouri, Kansas
and Texas so that they will build rival
road to Galveston, why, we will not regret
the result, much as We deprecate the an
pieasantness existing.

MAIL DoGs.-lt |, said that officers
OF the signal service on Mount WASH
ington are trying to teach a dog to
carry the mail to aud from that sta
ton. A correspondent Of the Boston
Advertiser suggests that this is an In
appropriate season for such instruc-
ton. there being four or five feet Of
snow OIL the ground; but that with a
dog Of good intellect. quick percep-
lions and ordinary docility, success
may be easily secured. In support Of
that opinion he says there ID a tradl-
ton, coming through such worthy
sources a. to authorize belief, that pre-
vious to the year 1880 the mail be-
tween Portsmouth, n. H.. and Wells,
Me-, for seven years, was regularly
carried by a dog. The mail was made
I'D, tied to the animals neck, and car
ried safely through, until at last, on
one Of his journeys, the faithful crea-
ture was killed by the Indians.

Priest vs.. Cardinal.

a parish priest In ireland, Father
O'Keefe, has taken the first step toward
bringing on q trial which may prove
Of historical importance in the annals
OF Roman Catholicism In Great Britain.
He brings suit against Cardinal Cullen
for suspending him from the post Of
parish priest In Callan. The Cardinal
pleads his right to do so on the ground
that O'Keefe had sued his ecclesiastical
superior, Bishop Ossory, In a law
court, that being in c~ontravention Of
canon law. The main question Ia,
whether a priest Is debarred from
claiming the protection Of the civil as
against ecclesiastic law. The prece.
dents Of English law appear to be
against the Cardinal. Similar cases
have been decided in opposition to
other denominations. The law Of
England Is that religious bodies may
agree on any terms Of union they
please. and they may erect tribunals
Of their own; but the decision of these
tribunals will be viewed by the civil
law as decisions Of arbitration" and,
as such, not ultimate. No subject oil
the Queen Is absolutely at the mercy
Of such quasijurisdiction. Father
O'Keefe has been evlcted from his
parish, and five schools Of which he
was superintendent have been taken
from his hands. He has also been ex'
communicated BY the Pope. II the
legal decision Is In his favor, 1t viii
still be impossible for him to perform
the Office Of a priest, but the schools
will DO restored to him. Beyond the
Immediate question involved, however
will be the degree to which the whole
question OF church discipline Is In
yolyed,

A Horrible Story.

A dreadful accident occurred In
Providence, r. l., December 7th.
Two men, named Smith aud Drew,
were employed In Johnston as wood.
choppers. Last Saturday was a cold,
blowy day, and the men. while a.
work kept up a hot fire under a large
overhanging rock. By keeping a brisk
fire they warmed the rock itself, and
thus, by radiation, secured a really
warm place. After work, as 1t Is sup.
posed, they went to the fire to warn
themselves and have a smoke before
going home. While they were seated
there, the rock cracked and fell over
on them. and they were found under
1t on Monday. Smith was evidently
killed on the instant, but Drew had
struggled to free himself. He had
reached his axe and chopped his own
foot of, but his body was still held
fast. and after vain efforts to get away
he had ended his struggles by cutting
his own throat with an axe. The rock
was probably as hot as 1t was heavy,
and the suffering Of the poor mar must
have been beyond description. Smith,
the one first killed, had been in the
army at various times, had both legs
and three ribs broken, and had a bal.
let In his body. He was thrown Out
OF employment In Boston by the fire,
and seems all his life to have been one
Of fortunes victims. The whole story
Is as horrible as we'll be imagined

New STYLE OF MEAT CARs.-We
noticed ut the railroad car shops yes
terday. says the Sacramento Record oil
Tuesday, that twenty cars are being
fitted up to carry meat between Hum.
boldt and San Francisco. Racks are
made with braced uprights at each end
of the car, upon which rest long bars
running the whole length OF the car,
and having hooks on both sides to hang
the meat upon. Fifty-four quarters OF
beef can thus be transported In one
car. The racks are being made under
the direction Of Messrs. WEIGH and
Seaman. The transportation Of live
stock from Nevada to the San Francis
co market has been found very costly,
and as soon as the cars are ready, the
cattle can be butchered there and reach
San Francisco In prime condition, and
at much less cost. The cars are we'll
ventilated and will be u through on
fast time.

A WHITE OUTRAGE UroN INDIANs.-
The Phoebe Record Of December 10Th
says: We learn from Colonel Jen-
nings, Deputy Indian Agent, that two
white men went to the lower end OF
Meadow Valley five or six days ago,
and being provided with liquor, dis
tributed the beverage among the In
dams, and afterwards outraged one or
more OF the squaws. The Indians were
greatly incensed, and the warriors
painted themselves and prepared to 20
upon the war path. Colonel Jennings,
hearing of the trouble through some
of the Indians, repaired to the scene
Of the disturbance. and by persuasion
and the distribution Of presents, in
duced the warriors to forego their con-
templated raid. The perpetrators OF
the outrage deserve punishment.

THE APPROXIMATION OF woMAN

The Chicago .Adranee. the organ OF
Western Congregatlonalism, holds the
following views:
From the first proclamation Of the
"woman's Rights" doctrines, we
have foreseen and foretold their ultt-
mate result In "free-love." The
claims Of total independence, made for
woman. the attempt to deny and ridi-
Guile subordination Of the wife to the
husband, the irreverent treatment Of
Scriptural doctrine on the subject, the
rejection, also, and naturally, Of the
New Testament Limitation Of divorce,
these and other indications certified us
that some Of the professed reformers
meant immortality In the end, and that
others. at present pure, were steadily
drifting towards it.
This is simply nonsense. woman's
Rights, taken In a broad, catholic
sense, does not tend to "free-love.'
She has the right to toll and suffer like
her male companion. There are ma
ny a~vocatlons which she Is as well
able to fill rs he Is, and she should
have q chance to do 90. As far as sub
ordination to the nan is concerned, We
need never expect that n woman Of
superior intellect will bow down and
worship a man who has a feeble one

day Is surely coming when women will
have the right to labor and toll ia
many a~vocations from which she l;
now excluded. We believe In permit

to earn their own livelihood onorably,
