RAT, Roam MrN-It il generally

RAIL ROAD MEN.--It is generally
supposed that Rail Road men are cold,
selfish, and heartess men, looking only
"to the main chance" such is not the
fact if we may be allowed to judge
from such men as Henry W. G winner,
auditor of Passenger receipts, 2. Il e..
R. r, j. w. Gore General Passenger
agent P. & E. r. r, Mr.. Justice Freight
accounting department P & e. r. r.,
Mr.. White conductor of the commissary
car "Ruby." These men all rank among
the men whose souls are great deal
bigger than their bodies. They are
dilligent in business, but withal generous,
highminded, and gentemanly. Capt.
May the life of the company who visited
us on Monday we hope was not under
the necessity Of duplicating liunen
breeches until he could do SO without
Unnecessary expense, although we must
say chances we're against him when we
last saw him The commissary car
"Ruby" was the same used by the "grand
Duke Alexis" on his tour through the
United States, weighs 81 tons and cost
S25. 900 and is without an Equal in the
the United States or Canada's for the
purposes it was intended. While notic-
ing Rail Road men from abroad we
would not forget our fellow Townsman
G. L. McCrackin, although Compal ed
with the other physically he may be as
Zacheus of old, yet he is none the less
for soul.

Cant be Trusted,

When we take survey of the Demo
cratic party of the past what can we ex-
pect of the so-called Democratic party
of to day, allied os it is with the malcon-
tents and sore heads of the Republican
party. That old, defunct, institution
has for great many years been the
enemy of progress and the foe of the
oppressed. 1t upheld slavery and resis-
ted emancipation; it opposed suffrage
and objected to civil rights it was un-
patriotic aud reasonable during the war
for the preservation of the union, and
it has been reactionary and revolution
ary every since How can any candid,
reasonable, sensible man think of sup
porting such an amalgauation, having
for its figure head an old, rickety, crock
ETY., superanuated, Individual, who never
had any decided principles in his life,
whose temporizing with the rebels in
the dark hours of the rebellion would
have cost the nation its life and whose
financial theories of long ago carried out
would have bankrupted the whole couu-
try. We think the sober rejecting
sense of this nation will avert such a
calamity by supporting the party of pro-
gress, the party of reform, the party that
saved the union, and will preserve and
perpetuate our institution through the
guidance of their standard bearers, U. S.
Grant and Henry Wilson.

The Cherokee Rose.

A rose ought to be beautiful which
has such charming romance as the
following connected with its name: A
yonng Indian chief of the Seminole
tribe, was taken prisoner by his enemies,
the Cherokees, aud doomed to torture,
but fell SO seriously i'll that it became
necessary to wait for his restoration to
health before committing him to the
ire. As he lay prostrated by disease 10
the cabin of the Cherokee warrior, the
daughter Of the latter, young, dark.
faced maid, was his nurse. She fell in
love with the young chieftain, and,
wishing to save his life, urged him to
escape. But he would not do SO unless
she would fee with him. She conscn
ted. Yet, before they had gone far,
impelled by soft regret at leaving home,
she asked permission of her lover to
return for the purpose of bearing away
come memento of it. So, retracing her
footsteps, she broke a sprig from the
white rose which climbed up the poles
Of her fathers tent, and preserving il
during her fight through the wilderness,
planted it by the door Of her new home
10 the. land of the Seminoles And
from that day this beautiful flower has
always been known Throughout the
Southern States by the name of the
Cherokee rose.
