A BRAKEMAN's DREAM.-Edward Halkins

A BRAKEMAN's DREAM.-Edward Halkins,
a brakeman on the Chicago, Alton and St.
Louis Railroad, who was newly married, had
been doing extra duty, taking sick friends
train in addition to his own, and so had no
sleep for forty-eight hours. Naturally he was
yery tired when he went home, and after going
to bed soon fell asleep. The dreams he had,
and their almost tragic termination, are graph
ically described BY local newspaper:
"Again his foot was on his native platform,
and he heard the warning toot of the whistle
for brakes. The .shadowy train bore him swift
ly on the telegraph poles feeted past quicker
and quicker; the whole country fed by like a
panorama mounted on sheet-lightning rollers.
ain his dream he heard far off another roar,
and swinging out by the railings he saw anoth-
er train coming at lightning speed around the
curve. Both trains were crowded with passen-
gers; in another moment they would rush to-
eether, and from the piles of min cry of ago
nv would shiyer to the tingling stars from the
lips of the manned and dying. The engineer
had seen their danger, for at that moment, in
his dream, he heard the whistle calling for
brakes sound loud and unearthly. With the
strength of desperation he gripped the brake
and turned it down. There was a yell of pain,
and ED woke to find himself setting up in
bed, and holding his,wife by the ears, having
almost twisted off her head.
sThat's how EDS wife came to wear piece
of red fnnel round her throat and complain OF
wry neck"

So,rrH CAROLINA PoL1r1Cs.- from,
South Carolina are better than anybody has,
for some time past been venturing To nope
Not improbably we may see there the deteat

the election of Mr. Tomlinson, The boltars can

chat would meah-at least 30 far as concerns
the overthrow of the ring, which has done
more to make the name of the North IN offence
in the nostrils of the South than any ten army
CORPS we ever sent there. And so Tar as con-
Germs the success of Mr.. Tonlinson, we can
assure them of our own knowledge that hls
election they may heartily, desire as being the
success of a capable and honorable man VINO
thoroughly knows the ring, and OF perfectly
sound Republican. 1t is not our habit 10 nave
much to say about local elections but there
are aspects of this South Carolina election in
which it is seen to be anything but local [; in
which It is seen to be of even more than ma
tional importance. ,,..
We do not know how good Republicans, OF
good Democrats either, who value our good
name as q people and believe in perpetuatine
our free institutions, could better use their In
fuence or their money, so far as money Is le-
Ultimately used in political contests, than IN
helping to bring the Scott gang to justice, or
at least. to take the State out OF their hands
AS we saw, there is fair prospect that this may
be done; but the work of doing it will be
hard. and the time in which to do it is not
long the election being only three weeks dis,
tant. We will add, that question of interest
in the struggle is, whether the Southern white:
are still so hostile to the North as to prefer
South Carolina thief to Yankee"-to use tine
language of one of Gov. Scott's white constitu'
ents. @ The negro vote is divided, Mr.: Tomiin

Narrow Gauge Railroad from Ohio to Georgia

In a recent issue, we called attention to
Knoxville's opportunity in reference to mar
row gauge railroad to Cumberland Gap. We
were shown, yesterday, letters from Ohio, Eas-
tern Kentucky, and Southwestern Virginia, in
regard to proposed narrow gauge railway from
Cleveland, Ohio, to Augusta, Ga. This line,
according to the map shown, will pass New
Philadelphia, McConnellsyille, Athens, and to
Ironton, on the Ohio River, thence up the val
ley of the Big Sandy River, crossing the Cum
berland Mountains, through Pound Gap, thence
through Southwestern Virginia, passing
through Moccasin Gap to Estellville, thence to
ginia & Georgia Railroad at either johnson
City, Jonesboro, or Greenville, thence along
and across the .Unaka range of mountains to
Asheville, N. c., thence to Greenville, Ander-
son and 'Abbeville, S. c., to Augusta, Ga.
| From the letters shown, the line will pass
through one of the finest mineral sections in
Ohio, also Eastern Kentucky, and Southwes-
tern Virginia, and, it is said, that the coal and
iron of the two last mentioned localities can
not be surpassed by any in the United States
The timber along the proposed line, if worked
up, would, in time, pay the whole cost OF con-
struction, as no section possesses as fine timber
as Southwestern Virginia, East Tennessee,
North and South Carolina.
Southwest Virginia is noted for its fine graz
ing lands. Blue grass grows spontaneously, as
large herds are driven from there each year
for the Baltimore market.
Four incorporated companies are now en-
gagged in making surveys up the Big Sandy
River in Eastern Ky. Parties who are engaged
in working up this enterprise are endeavoring
to get these companies to consolidate and make
one company for the whole line 600 miles.
The line is almost an airline, and from the
knowledge we have of the country, the road
will not exceed in cost $4,000 per mile. The
Denver and Rio Grande narrow gauge, now
building Som Denver south into Mexico have
completed ITO miles, and the cost, where they
are compelled to pay high prices for labor and
transportation, and have rougher country to
pass over than the proposed line, has not ex-
ceeded $4,000 per mile.
The project spoken of in our former issue,
can be made part of this contemplated line,
which will then secure to Knoxville northern
route, if not one of more advantage to our in
terests than any other route now under con-
temptation. 1t is the intention to make the
proposed line q double track as soon as necessl-
ties demand it, A large portion OF our farm
ers could devote. one half of their lands to an
enterprise of this kind, and be richer in the
end, as railroad would enhance the balance
to double the amount of that they devoted to
the railroad. We can have our meetings to
encourage immigration and manufacturing, but
so long as we have no communication with the
outer world, so long will our talk be in vain.
The time is not far distant when East Tenr
nessee will be checkered with the narrow
gauge.-Knozville Press and Herald.

IN AUTUMN.

The year grows splendid; on the mountain
Now fingers long the warm and gorgeous
Dying by slow degrees into the deep,
Delicious night
The fatal triumph of the perfect year,
Rises the woods magnificent array;
Beyond, the purple mountain heights appear
And slope away.
The elm, with musical, slow notion laves
His long, 1.-the branches on the tender air,
While from his top of gray, Sordello waves
His scarlet hair.
Where Spring first hid her violets meath the
fern,
Where Summers fingers opened, fold on fold,
The odorous, wild, red rose head, now burn
The leaves Of gold.
The loftiest hill-the lowlest Towering herb
The fairest fruit of season and of cline
All wear alike the mood of the superb
Autumnal CLINE.
Now nature pours her last and noblest wine
Like some Bacchante; beside the singing
Reclines enchanted day, wrapped in divine,
Impassioned dreams.
But where the painted leaves are falling fast,
Among the wales, beyond the farthest hill,
There sits shadow-dim, and sad, and vast,
And fingers still.
And still we hear voice among the hills,
A voice that means among the haunted woods,
And with the mystery of sorrow fills
The solitudes.
For while gay Autumn gilds the fruit and Leaf,
And doth her fairest festal garments wear,
Lo Time, all noiseless, in his mighty sheaf,
Binds up the year.
The mighty sheaf which never is unbound
The Keeper whom your souls beseech in vain
The loved, last year, which never may he found,
Or loved again.
