Railroad employees complain, appsr:
emily with reason, that the cars in gene
raj use for the transportation OF Goa,
called "jimmies," are the occasion OF
unnecessary destruction of property,
and are the cause of more lives being
lost than all other other appliances in
use. They jump the track much easier,
and IS the couplings are unusually
strong and the wheels in close proximity,
they followed each other like flock OF
sheep, so that if q single car leaves the
track the whole train follows suit. IL is
also considered almost miraculous IL a
man succeeds in coupling jimmy to q
freight OF platform car without being
more or less hurt. Substitutes called
"gondolas" having recently been put on
some roads, II suggested that our legis.
lature pass a law prohibiting the use OF
the old man-traps, the new cars being
superior In every respect

European Crop Prospects.

Some people of experience insist

Those we love truly never die.
Though year by year the sad memorial
wreath,
A ring and flowers, types of life ard death,
Are laid upon their graves
For death the pure life saves,
And life all pure is love; and love can reach
From heaven TO earth, and nober lessons
teach
Than those by mortals read.
Well blest is he that has a dear one dead.
A friend he has whose face will never
change
dear communion that will not grow
strange:
An anchor of love is death.
The blessed sweetness of loving breath
Will reach our cheek all fresh thro' weary
years.
For.her who died long since, ah waste not
tears:
She's thine unto the end.
Thank God for one dead friend
With face still radiant with the light of
truth,
Who loves the gray beard as be loved the
youth,
Through twenty years of death.
