The fast line from Cincinnati to Wash.
ington that runs through regular as
clock i'll twcnty-two hours, has a way of
letting go all hollis" upon down grades
TINT IS rather striking than otherwise.
An unexpected jump of two inches to the
right or left would send one by fast
line to another, and let us hope q
better, world, for while q mo 1ntain
towers up Gu one side dreadful, yawn-
ing abyss starts from tho edge of the
track on the other. And these grades
wind down in the most graceful name
We stepped upon the platform of the
car while whirling down and round one
OF these grades, to get better view of
the magnificent scenery, when the
brakesman bawled in our ear:
Better get off the platform"
'Why?" We asked.
platforms are dangersome.'
We thought of the many We had seen
made in our time. These were political
platforms, and like good advice, always
asked for, always given. and never fol-
lowed. they We're not "dapgersome."
whats the matter now?" we bawled
at our brakesmap.
"a goin' down these heavy grades, "
he responded. "it's hard, work for the
locomotive to keep ahead sometimes,
the thing is just run over"
We retired to our seat in the car with
an idea. It is not often that one gets an
idea, and We cherished this. It struck
us that sometimes the train did run
down the locomotive. We saw it done
in the Cincinnati Convention, when the
people took the management from the
hands Of the organizers, and it looks as
il it would be done at Baltimore. It
could not be attempted at Philadelphia,
because it was there on an up grade. It
took all sorts of whistling, bell ringing
and blowing to keep up even the ap-
pearance Of motion.
AS we sat cogitating this beautiful
illustration. bird known to the vulgar
as a .ty-up-Me- creek. made in one of
natures severest fits OF economy, with

Having no tail. it balanced its long neck
with its longer legs, and gazed with won
dering lacli-lustre eyes upon the train as
it Numbered along. That. quoth we, is
