The ear is a short cab0ose, fashion

ouc-bOrse wagon, which give il an
uueasy and suggestive way on the

duetOr sits with his watch in bis hand
Nobody has any business there at al
The engineer is doing bis best to make
distant station, and get upon the

grees. 1t makes you feel light, but
not airy. The kitchen rocks Ike
cradle for dozen rods, and then
jounces the light out and the water
barrel over and your hat of, and the
stove rattles lik a snitby in driving
time. Then it gathers itself up Ike
o salient goat, and bounces against
the bumper Of the next car, and some
thing snaps No matter. The train
swings around curve, and yoa feel
as You did years ago when you were

lower Jaw a little, and ask the con-
dGctor If he is going to stop before

the very place you are bound for.
though you never heard it before.
The conductor informs you it is safe
to bet we are 'Just dusting," and YOU
believe him--the only safe thing
about the train. 1t is thirty miles an
hour. Another head is hung out OF
a window, and you think you will
try to count fence-posts. 1t doesn't
happen to be a fence, but stockade;

seldom observed them thicker to the

lights down the track. Drawing in

What is it Joe ?" and the brakeman
replies, "Nothin'." The conductor
puts his watch to his ear. Has it
stopped! With rattle and roar the
engineer keeps launching the train
into the midnight. A shrill shrek Of
the locomotive whistles you up, and
you are on your feet like cat The
brakeman Iuns up his little iron lad

90 a dead hslt. 1t is Genesee, and
one grateful passenger leaves thatfran-

Continues.
MADRID, June 9-Evening.- session of
the Cortes last night was one of the stormiest
on record Owing to the confusion which pre-
vailed in the chamber, the closing of doors a
portion of the time, by which reporters were
excluded, and the late hour of adjournment,
the morning papers were unable to obtain COM
plete or correct reports of the proceedings, and
many false rumors in consequence obtained cur
rency. The statement among Others that the
ministry proposed by Senior ri Y. Margall was
approved is incorrect. The House finally re-
jected his ministry, and called on Senior Figue-
ras to resume the conduct of the government
with his old cabinet
The following is an accurate resume of the
sitting: The Cortes after passing the resolu-
tions proclaimng the republic, adjourned till
evening for the purpose of completing the for
nation of new ministry At7p M, the
House reassembled, and Senior Figueras opened
the debate. He advised the republic to be
united and warned them that divisions With
their ranks would prove ia al to the cause thew
held dear. The question then came up whether
the ministers proposed by SeIor Pi Y. Margall
should be voted Oh Ell filoe or separately. An
excited discussion followed which was accom-
panied with frquent scenes of confusion. A
motion was made to go into secret session.
Senior CASTELAR, protested. The Cortes he
said owed 1t to the country that their proceed,
ings should be public. Senior p. I. Margal
finally announced that in view of the sad scenes
of disorder which he could only consider as eve
ministers. A great uproar followed and could
