An economist, or a man who can por-
portion his means and his ambition, or
bring the year round with expenditure
which expresses his character, without
embarrassing one day of his future, is
already master of life and free man.
Lord Burleigh writes to his son that
one ought never to devote more than
two-thirds of his income to the ordinary
expenses Of life, since the extraordinary
will be certain to absorb the other third.

A Railroad War.

Last Wednesday morning about Il thou
sand workmen in the shops of the Erie
Railroad ut Susquehanna, PENNSYLVANIA,
struck work. They had not been paid for
their February work, but had been prom
lsed their money on the 18th of March,
When that day came the railroad mama
gers put them off until the 18th, and on the
morning of that day opposed Il still fur
Their pOstponement. The strikers closed
all saloons in the place, and preserved
good order, but stopped all trains except
mail trains on the road. The engines
coming in were disabled by taking out
part of the machinery. and Il determine
ton to stop the business of the road until
their money was given them, was mani
fest.
Governor HartFanft was called on for
troops to preSent this interference with
traffic, and SatSftrty ordered General o.
born with several companies of militia to
resssss sysld sha The strikers then
allowed ssss5sassseser trains to run, but
still ksse the ffeights. The citizens, who
favored the strikers, petitioned the Cover
nor ss tNesnph to send no troops. as

asked-ai6siaak The Governor replied
that he could not allow debtors, however
meritorious their clifns. to seize the prom.
erty of their creditors and hold it without
due Pr5ss Of law, nor to punish the in.
nocent PUBLIC, as passengers or transport,
ers, for the fault of corporation. He
says, my duty is not to make the laws
or to criticise them, but to execute them. :,
The railroad company proposed terms
Sunday, which were: trains to run: men
to be paid Monday; men when paid to
be considered out of company's employ
company to employ such men as it thinks
for its interest; the men not to interfere
with cars or other property; the company
will make no arrests for what has been
done. These terms were refused by the
strikers, and on Monday the sympathy Of
the community for them was diminishing

BALD MOUNTAIN-That North Caro-
lima Volcano is mt quite as much of hum
bug rs the burning of the Natural Bridge
which did nit take place last year, but it is

c. 2. Wright, teller of the Bradford
Savings Bank, disappeared last week with
some $1,000 of the funds of the concern.
He was son of Parker Wright. of Oxford.
New Hampshire, and another model young
man. He was caught at Potsdam, and
brought back to Bradford. where he was
put under $4,000 bonds to appear at the
county court States Attorney Gambell
appeared for the State. and will be apt to
hold Mr.. Wright to a strict accounting for
his crime as well as for the money. We
shall be mistaken if one defaulter is MT
attended to as he deserves. and not let
slide, because he has been caught and the
money recovered.

they could take the law into their own

of injury upon the public who had no
hand in whatever injustice may have been
done them.

A sad Death.


Mckinney EAqulref, June l3.I
A young woman giving her name as
Catherine Brown, died at the residence
of our townsman, S. }. b. Plemmons,
few days since, under the most sor-
rowful circumstances. She was mar
ried at Jacksonville, H., to VIM. Brown,
on Christmas, 1872, from whence they
proceeded to st. Louis. Here they
lived until few months back, when
they removed TO Rolla, Mo. Here
brown told his wife that lie would
come to Texas and secure home; and
with this view obtained the money
which she hadreceived at her marriage,
some six hundred dollars, He came of
to Texas, and wrote home from Wills
Point, Kaufman county, for his wife TO
meet him at Dallas, on May 18th. She
proceeded at once to this point, but
could hear nothing from him. She
then went to Wills Point, but could
gel no tidings of him. BEING satisfied
that he had abandoned her, she then
sought work, by which she might OBJ
tain living, and came up the road
till she reached this place, where her
stock of funds became exhausted.
Being sick at the time, she was taken
home by Mr., Plemmons, where she
received the kindest treatment that
could be bestowed by real christian
charity. A few days after her arrival
she gave premature birth to q child,
and in few weeks after she followed.
The immediate cause of her death is
supposed TO haze bsen Q fail she re-
eieved while getting on the cars at
Terrell. Her father, named Seemourss
lived near Jacksonville Illinois.

The Boot OH the other Leg.

On recent Sunday evening, says a
Washington dispatch to the Springfield
Republican, Senator Morrill,, of Maine,
was out for walk. Passing church
of colored Metho1ists, he was so pleased
with the singing that he went in. He
had been seated a few moments when
a dignified c0lored brother came up to
him and said that the church was for
colored people, and that they preferred
to be left alone and undisturbed by
the white people during their services,
1t suddenly occurred to the solemn
Morrill, that he had sat up all night
about week before voting for the civil
rights bill, but he did not mention II.
He silently withdrew.
