RAILROAD DISCRIMINATION.

In the course of an article i'll the
Sacramento Record on railroad matters
the following passage occurs:
In regard to discrimination it may
be well 10 point out that though II Is
much talked OF it has not been proven

the ~denunciations of the California rail-
roads have been based upon fears OF
what the corporations might, could.
would or should do. and though this
kind of thing has been banded back
and forth for several years, the first
well authenticated case OF actual I'M
fair discrimination has Yet to be pro-
duced. Now, if there does exist dis
crimiuation, it must be capable of
demonstration. and as i'll any such
case the persons aggrieved are toler-
ably sNre to entertain feelings of hos
tility toward the corporation. there
should be no difficulty i'll aScertailin"
the truth.

A RIVER HORROR.

An Ohio Mail-BOat Burned 10 the
Waters Edse--Oycr Twenty Lives
Lost.
The operator at Aurora, Ind, reports
that the steamer Pat Rogers burned on
the 9th inst, one mile below Aurora.
About twenty lives were lost Several
bales Ct cotton which formed part of
the cargo, caught fire, it is supposed
from sparks from the chimneys, and the
boat burned to the waters edge, boat
and cargo, the latter consisting of cattle,
sheep and hogs, total loss. The pas
senger register and all books were lost.
The boat was valued at S60,000, and
insured in Cincinnati, for $32, 900 and
Louisville for s. 600. The value of the
cargo is not ascertained.
THE ENGINEER's STORY.
Mr. Holmes, the engineer gives the
following account of the burning: cit
was lust about 6 o'clock when Just OPP
posite Loughery Creek, that flows into
the Ohio river, two miles below Aurora,
that noticed bril- hit light in some
bales of cotton in the after part of the
boat / hastened to the spot and found
the cotton burning rapidly and beyond
any possibility Of Immediately extin-
gushing it. / hastened to the hurri-
cane deck and gave the alarm to the
pilot that the boat was burning and told
him to run ashore. The pilot at once
turned the boats head to the shore and
Immediately she became unmanageable.
The pilot states that he could turn the
wheel but the steamer would not an
swer to her helm. He thinks
THE TILLER ROPE HAD BEEN CUT.
From this fact it is thought the fire
was the work of an incendiary. Anotl-
er theory is, that one OF the deck pas
sengers, while smoking, dropped sparks
from his pipe into cotton. When the
boat became unmanageable she drlfted
on to sand bar, and there grounded.
The flames, instead of spreading along
the lower deck at once, shot mp to the
cabin and pilot house, an then swept
across the hurricane deck. The pas
sengers were all aroused and the boats
lowered, and many were carried to the
shore, bat others, in their fright, jump
ed into the water, and those who We're
not drowned reached safe landing place
after drifting II long time with the cur
rent There were nearly a hundred
people on board, but what proportion
of this number were actually lost is not
known, as many reported m'ssing have
been seen by some on the shore after
the disaster.
The latest intelligence says the per-
sons perished are near thirty in number.

AUGUST LILIES.
" Holding n lily in his hand

IbI bChlI bNlhuHClhllOu,
What time the white day lilies lift their faces
Sereney splendid to the August sun,
And crmsJn-sreaked peunias overrun
With lavish color all the garden-spaces;
When purpling grapes upon the trcllis cluster,
And OloOmy ptms drop ripely from their hold
And peaches turn to globes OF honeyed gold
And pears grow sleek with mellow gloss and mster
When translucent haze the sunshine follows
And wells the fervent sky IN dreamy light,
Involves in mist the luminous mountain-hcigbt
And fills with violet shade the mountain hollOws:
When the still nights their dewy sweets surrender
When stars reCode, and on her throne serene
The full mo n sits IA solitary qucen
And Hoods the land and sea with silver spendor-
Then comes again, in shadowy completeness,
A face that faded once when lilies came;
A face the whitest lilies could not shame
For lack Of any lovely grace or sweetness.
Nine years ago, in silent dcsolation,
watched the fading of that perfect face
Until knew His presence in the place
The awful Angel Of AnnunCiatiOn,
The August sun had set in all It's glory,
And when the pOmp of clouds had tIailcd away
And gold and flames had melted into gray
| read the ending of loves sweetest story
The balmy night came dcwy-sof aud stly
With light W nds trembling over beds of bloom
Above the silence and the secuted gloom
felt the waving Of the mystic lily.
And oh | saw, as one seel in vision,
Where, spc-bOund, One may neither cry non
stir;
Its dreary shadow stealing over her,
And darkenng lips and eyes with slow precision.
Nine years ago. But still the memory thrills me-
And the wild sorrow and this yearning pain
Come back to wiring my quickcned soul again,
And the same sense Of desc atlOn ILLS me,
Whenever, through the summer darkness signing
Some wandering wind has brought me suddenly
The scent of lilies. as II came to me
That night in August when my love lay dying.
