What Is Said by the Engineers.


reporter of the HgRALD called upon several
engineers OF the New York Central Railroad and
obtained their views OF the strike which is at
present in operation at the West These views
may be summed up as follows:-
The Brotherhood OF Engineers, which has an ex-
istence throughout the country, does not support
these men directly, because, like any other trades
union, 1t requires majority Of the men belonging
to the Brotherhood to decide upon strike, which
vote has not been taken, and were 1t taken would
fail, because, though on some roads the men are
dissatisfied, on the largest number matters are
satisfactory to them as they can expect. They
(the engineers interviewed) did not approve
Of the strike, because the reduction of ten per
in the wages OF the men was not enough to strike
about when 1t was known that the same reduction
had been made with every salaried man in the en-
ploy OF the company. The men on strike, there
fore, would not be supported in funds by the
Brotherhood though it would not be difficult for
them to receive help from the men VINO aid not
strike but sympathlzed with them In various por-
tlons OF the country.
One OF the engineers interviewed, who runs from
this city to Albany, said that the men out West
were afraid that this present reduction OF 10 per
cent was only a forerunner OF a further reduction
said to be contemplated in few days by the
company, and that the first reduction was made TO
try the temper or the men. The manner in which
The reduction mas been taken Is proof sufnclent
that they will not take any further one in very
Hiiu spirit anu IL may oe sdiu tnat the stTke, ii
not OF itself successful will do good in This way,
and an ultimate benefit will be derived from 1t,
not only TO themselves but to engineers all over
the country.
'The strike,n continued the same engineer, ''is
confined to the roads leased by the Pennsylvania
Company and does not extend in any way TO the
pennsylvania Central Railroad, which has almost
the same officers. including Tom Scott who Is
president OF one and vice president OF the
other Ii any reduction is attempted on
the Pennsylvania Central he had no doubt
that strikes would take place in the same way.
He did not anticipate any trouble on the Central,
as Mr. Vanderbilt and the men had come to an
understanding some weeks ago, and there was no
probability OF its being broken.
The Brotherhood OF Engineers had very large
membership, there being probably some thousands
of members attached to the society. The head
quarters were In the West.

number OF tine railroad agencies in this city

the purpose OF ascertainlng what effect the engi-
neers' strike on the Pennsylvania Railroad had
upon their several roads. The uniform answer re-
ceived was mot the remotest.n No difficulties
with the engineers is anticipated on any other
railway lines.
There seems to be considerable anxiety mani
tested by those who control the PENNSYLVANIA Rail-
road Company concerning the trouble, Judging
from passing events. All the magnates oil the
road have congregated in Philadelphia, where it IS
expected some action towards compromise VIII
be had very soon and measures adopted to put
an end to the strike.
On Saturday Mr.. Thomas A. Scott Vice President;
Mr.. ]. McCreiPhton, General western Agent; as
wei as Mr.. D. Solomon, the Fiscal Agent OF the

in case such should happen, the mails will be trans
1erred to the other railroads.

The Contemplated Revolution.

EDITOR REPUBLICAN,:
Political leaders, soreheads, and particu-
LARRY defeated candidates, writhing i'll
ageny at their discontinue, have succeeded
50 far in organizing well contemplated
revolution on Monday, the sixth instant.
Those leaders, Mr.. Editor, have told us that
they intend to carry their point by peaceful
means and "within the law" Let IS see i
their contemplated move is within the law.
Their object, above all, is TO constitute
themselves the legal government OF this
State.
And is this acting within the law, pray ?
President Grant, Attorney General Viii
liams, and, may add also the Congress OF
the United States, have recognized the ex-
isting government as the only legal one III
this State.
What mean. then, our soreheads
.'Butt against the locomotive and tram
pie the laws of the nation under their feet
Well. we shall see whether this will be
the feather which will break this (political)
camel's back"
In the meantime, let all peaceful. law
abiding citizens refrain from giving coun-
tenance to all such revolutionary proceed

pear appreciative and are highly enter
tanned. 1t realizes the fact chat now and
then little nonsense is relished by the best
of men" But aside from this there are
some very attractive features in the pan
tomime. The ColuD,bine, Miss +. Beane,
for instance, lends by her dazzling graces, a
witching interest to the scene. A laughing,
joyous face, with sparkling eyes and steps
Of '.ligbtness," she floats through the may
dance like a thing Of beauty and joy for
ever" We have raj ely seen a more beauti-
full dancer, or one who understood more
perfectly'the art Of charming Nor do we
mean to be invidious by singing out Miss
Beane as a special attraction. She consti-
tutes the fairest but not the only picture.
The entire pantomime IS an ingeniously
contrived and pleasant burlesque, abound
ing in racy incidents and pleasing episodes
We advise all to see it tonight who have not
done so already, well assured that they will
pass pleasant evening.

This, then, was the alchepist! Was the
phantom his unquiet ghost, or what
There are more things on earth than was
ever dreamed by our philosophy"
The Coup d,Etat of Mrs. Virgins.
Life is full.of vicissirudes. The even pace
of every day existence is frequently broken
and yawning ehasms and treacherous
quicksands disturb the moral element
which attaches to the ''earth earthly" of our
pilgrimage among sublunary things. But it
is rare that this stumbling block character
istic should take the shape of baby.
Babies, in fact, are such common things
Every household nova days has a baby.
Alas, that this luxury should be denied Mrs.
Virgins. She had sought for one long and
ardently. But the ordinary channels had,
with singular persistency, refused to bear
fruit worthy to be called baby.
The male Virgins didn't care much, but
then he was willing his wife should have
her way. There was the trouble. Mrs.
Virgins couldn't have her way. She had
exhausted every reasonable ingenuity with
out success, and she now resolved on
coup detot. She would procure one from
the asylum, and surprise Mr.. Virgins with
it when he came home. The measure was
no sooner resolved upon than it was exc
cuted. Snugly ensconsed in a little crib,
hidden in the shadow of the bed, the baby
reposed peacefully, awaiting the advent of
Mr.. Virgins He came, unfortunately,
when Mrs. Virgins was out and no one to
explain to him the new arrangements.
Without perceiving the little crib and
smiling occupant he went to bed, and was
soon fast asleep. After while Mrs. Wig
gins came home, and seeing her lord asleep
took the baby in her arms and crept beside
him But the movement aroused the baby,
and a succession of infantile cries pealed
Justify from the baby throat
Lord, Betsy ~ cried Mr.. Virgins, start
ing up in amazement, "what s that 2"
THE baby" was the chuckling reply.
"What baby"
Why, our baby"
you!'
Yes, certainly, here it isl
1t was nice, plumb baby, about nine
months old, rosy-cheeked ard well grown
for its age.
Mr.. Virgins felt it carefully, and then by
freshly replenished light looked at it at
tentively.
''It's a big one, Betsy
Eyes"
"But then it's the first"
"Tes."
And we've been long time preparing
it."
"Yes; but if it had staid away awhile
longer" said Mrs. Virgins, about to depre-
cate the loss of so much pleasure.
"Bless you, Betsy" interposed Mr.. Wig
gins in establishment, "the COMPOUNDED
thing would have stepped into the world
wearing breeches. It's almost big enough
to now"
"But, JOEL it amt our own baby-not
our very own! got it at the asylum. We
are gwine to adopt it, explained his wife
ooh! that's it; thought it was our'n."
cob, no."
"Well, do you know, Betsy, that l was
thinkin' that if that baby's our'n, just born.
we'd put right smart chance of material
in it."
Mrs. Virgins thought so too.
