Mr.. BEEcHER is reported to have been
made greatly indignant because the libel
suit of Miss PRocToR against MoULToN
was compromised, without his being
called on to give in his testimony. He
wanted to do some more explicit denying
of the mutual friends" statements. In
the meantime, Miss PROCTOR is satisfied,
and MOULToN is out of pocket about
$1,000. So much for trying to be every
body's friend. BEECHER has, also, been
granted his bill of particulars, with GER
tain limitations asked for by TlLToN,
prescribed.

English Compliment 10 American
Brakes and Bravery.

From the Pail Mall Gazette.
An example of heroic self devotion on
the part Of two railway servants is re-
ported by the last mail from America
A passen ger train near Cincinnati, owing
to a misplaced switch, plunged through
II bridge, the driver and stoker being
killed: but all the others in the train be-
Ing saved through their heroism. These
men might have saved themselves by
Jumping out, but they remained at their
posts, the driver applying the air brake
when he discovered the misplaced
switch, so that the passenger
coaches were stopped before they reached
the chasm, and the passengers saved.
The driver was found crushed to death
in the locomotive car by the tank, his
hands grasping the throttle" The adml-
ration which every one must feel ut this
brave act will be amongst Us in England
mingled largely with II feeling of envy
for country in which such an achieve
rncnt is possible. 1t lis humiliating to to re-
fleet that it is quite beyond the reach of
imitation in this country, for, though we
have doubtless many englne-drlrers
equally brave, We have no railway brakes
equally efficient Men can hardly be
expected to die at their posts unless they
can do something there worth dying
for; and any English engine-driver who,
under the same circumstance, plunged
into chasm with his hand on one of
our miserable brakes, would simply be
followed to destruction by the whole OF
the passenger coaches and their occu-
nnntS.

Alpena weekly argus. [volume] (Alpena, Mich.) 1871-1893, 1874-04-15
Written for the Argus.
On the Drive.
BY CON e. QUENcE.

Previous to my first day driving
logs had listened to many narra-
tives in regard to log-driving, and
the hair-breadth escapes of the
drivers, who were often making
their way to shore as fast as they
we're able to swim.
/ was confident that could ride
log all day without once wetting
the soles of my boots, so, for exper-
iment, and partly of course for the
high wages offered, hired out,
and proceeded up the stream to the
point of operation. 1t was night
when | arrived, but early next
morning / was ready for action.
Breakfast over, and all hands
proceeded to business. 1t was an
enjoyable scene to watch the driv-
ers jumping from one log to an
other, like school of frogs in a
pond lily patch, as regardless of
the water as if they were on terra
firma. With pike pole in hand, l
stepped upon log near shore, and
without much ceremony made my
first "hole in the water" l was
hauled out minus the pike-pole,
and then it was that l found log
driving not such a very funny un-
dertaking. But I had good "grit"
and stuck to business faithfully for
that day. But ] found riding a log
in q running stream, n little more
labor than l could successfully get
away with on the first day, without
being frequently submerged.
succeeded in passing through the
day by getting in the creek thir-
teen times, and loosing nine pike
poles.
The next morning ! made q bold
start, got "ducked" three times and
lost my pike-pole on each occasion,
besides receiving seriously
bruised arm and shoulder, losing
my hat, and got a black eye, all
before eight o'clock.
That sickened me of ever again
attempting to engage in the peri
lous business of running logs.
For my part, l can accomplish
more by playing o corporation
fiddle" at two dollarssa cord.

Lovc-Making ON the Stagc.


There can be no doubt that it Is
pleasing to see "spooning" on the
stage. The lovesick heroes and
heroines of certain comedies, when
they are represented by clever and
agreeable actors and actresses,
rarely fail to make people syInpath-
ize with them. The assumption is
that their billings and cooings and
caressings pleasantly remind those
of mature years of old times, and
excite spirit of emulation and q
desire to become slaves of the ten
der passion in the young. But 1t
is only on the stage that most per-
sons care to contemplate pronounc-
ed love-making. This is not sur
prising, for off the stage, 1t
becomes o very different, and, all
things considered, q much less
agreeable procecding-at least SO
far as spectators are concerned.
Perhaps the actors themselves
think differently, albeit that their
appearance and deIneanour lead 10
the conclusion that they are often
in state OF what may be best
described in the contradictory term,
delightful misery"
As q matter of fact, the lovo-
making of most individuals is q
very commonplace and stuped
proceeding. Many men never
appear to less advantage than
when they are in love. Graceful
posturing and flowing rhetoric do
not come naturally to them at such
time. 1t is true that the heroes
who figure on the stage, laboring
under the wounds inflicted by
Cupid's honey-tipped arrows.
are the presentations of easy
confidence and elegance, but to
this they are true to an ordeal, not
a reality and the probability is,
that when these self same nonchal-
ant customers retire into private
life, and endeavor to do a little
business of similar character on
their own account, they do not
appear to SO much advantage. If
an actor were to venture to present
commonplace love making exactly
as it is, with its intervals of vacuity
and its periods of clumsy badness,
he would very soon discover that
it does not pay to be natural,
and that if he wishes to succeed
he must content himself with pre-
senting a fanciful and highly color
cd portrait, and speak his authors
carefully rounded and eloquent
sentences in that manner which he
has reason to imagine will render
them most acceptable. History
affords many examples Of the fact
that love making is not an edifying
thing to gaze upon. A very large
portion of our great men, for
instance, have seriously marred
their regulations by the vagaries
and acts of idiocy into which they
were led while suffering from the
tender passions. Were it not
proftless task, many celebrated
names might be cited to prove the
truth of this. bo. .t..
All things considered, then, it is
evident that actual love-making
should be conducted on the princi-
pie Of the right hand not knowing
what the left hand doeth. The
amorous swain, who is longing to
initiate the successful and talented
wooer whom he has seen at the
theatre, would do we'll to make tho
attempt in as unostentatious .
manner as possible. "a .-5
