Detroit Free Press. -
He had been sick at one of the hotels
for three or four wrecks, and the boys ON
the road had dropped in daily to see how
he got along, and to learn if they could
render him any kindness. The brakeman
was good fellow, and one and all encour-
aged him in the hope that lie would pull
through. The doctor didn't regard tho
case as dangerous, but the other day the
patient began sinking, and it was seen that
he could not live the night out. A dozen
of his friends sat in the room when night
came, but his mind wandered and he did
not recognize them.
1t was near one of the depots, and after
the great trucks and noisy drays had ceased
rolling by, the bells and the short, sharp
whistles of the yard engines sounded pain.
1ully loud. The patient had been very
patient for half an hour, when he sudden.
ly Enclosed his eyes and shouted:
"Kal-ama ZOO"
One Of the men brushed the hair back
from the cold forehead, and the brakeman
Eclosed his eyes and was quiet for a time.
Then the wind whirled around the depot
and banged the blinds on the window OF
his room, and he lifted his,hand and cried
out:
jackson! Passengers going north by
the Saginaw road change cars"
The men understood. The brakeman
thought he was coming east on the Michi-
gan Central. The effort seemed to have
greatly exhausted him, for he lay like one
dead for the next five minutes, and
watcher felt for his pulse to see if life had
gone out. A tug going down the river
sounded her whistle loud and long, and
the dying brakeman opened his eyes and
called out:
AN Arborn'
He had been over the road thousand
times, but had made his last trip. Death
was drawing special train over the old
track, and he was brakeman, engineer and
conductor.
One of the yard engines utter shrill
whistle Of warning, as if the glare of the
headlight had shown to the engineer some
stranger in peril, and the brakeman called
out:
Yp-silanty-change cars here for tho
Eel River Road.'
"He's coming in FAST" whispered one
of the men.
"And the end of his rum will be the end
OF his life" said Il second
The dampncss of death began to collect
on the patients forehead, and there was
that CHASTITY look on the face which death
always brings. The slamming of door
down the hall startled him again, and he
moved his head and family called:
Grand Trunk Junction passengers
going East by the Grand Trunk, change
cars!'
He was so quiet after that that all the
men gathered around the bed, believing
that he was dead, His eyes closed, and
the brakeman lifted his hand, moved his
head and whispered:
"Dc-''
Not 'Dctroit,'' but Death. He died
with the halfuttercd whisper of his lips.
And the headlight ON deaths engine
shcne full in his face and covered it with
such pallor as naught but death can
bring.

TILE EORGE BILL.

The all night and all day session Of the
House, beginning on Wednesday and ending
Thursday night, accomplished nothing more
than to bring the Force bill up as unfinished
business at the opening of the session to-day.
1t was part of the programme of the Admin
istration managers which was initiated in the
adoption of the new rule cutting off dlatory
motions and putting the minority at the mercy
of the majority in rushing through without
opportunity for discussion whatever measures
they may deem necessary for the promotion of
their partisan designs. The matter was sprung
upon the House by one of Mr.. Buffers clever
tricks, in defiance of the understanding which
was had at the time of the afternoon adjourn
ment that the Appropriation bills should have
the precedence in the order of business
But Mr.. Butler is sometimes too clever
His sharpness is liable to Overreach
the mark and defeat his object In this case
he found, too :ate, that the new rule was not
sufficient, even with the aid of his trickery, to
answer the purpose intended. The lack of a
quorum of Administration members left the
business of the House at the viii OF the OPP
position, who refused to vote, and con-
sequently had all proceedings at a deadlock
whenever they were disposed. Mr.. Butler
lost his temper of course, and got angry and
excited because Speaker Blaine would not at
his dictation override Parliamentary law and
precedent. The Speaker, however, was cool
and self-contained during the whole session,
and the manifest fairness and impartiality of
his rulings are commended on all sides.
The result of the matter can hardly be pre-
@o1 q hot
of the House can be obtained for a bill of so
outrageous character. There are many Ad-
ministration members who will not vote for it
as it stands. Whether there are enough of
these to defeat it is still an open question, but
it seems certain that some of its most odious
features will be stricken out before IL can pass
the House. Even then we do not believe it
possible to be passed. That there is deter
mined purpose on the part of the desperate
men who feel power slipping from their grasp
to press this bill at all hazards is apparent
enough. They have already shown readiness
to sacrifice everything else, even the appr0-
priation bills and to incur the necessity
of an extra session for this purpose. But
it is in the power of the minority
in the Senate to interpose delays and stave il
off until the time for final adjournment
shall arrive, and this, we presume, will be
done if it becomes necessary. Meantime the
spectacle is presented to the country of a
party which has just been repudiated in the
Congressional elections resorting to the most
questionable and desperate measures, not only
to continue in tho hands OF the President
powers such as were never before exercised
or dreamed of by any Executive, but to en-
large them to such an extent as to give him
absolute control in all the States of the Union.
The proposition in this bill to suspend the
.habeas corpus at the sole and absolute discre-
ton of the President is in the words of Mr..
Blaine. unlimited as to territory and un.

The BABY AND BONNIE,

With the first geam of February sunshine
on the thawing pavements you find on every
quiet corner certain familiar picturesque
group, to be reduplicated countless times in
warmer weather. There is fairy. shell like
COACH glittering in blue and silver if its CO.
cupant be a blonde, or crimson and gold if
she be brunette; there is the baby reclining
in it, like a miniature Cleopatra, with the sun
garing into her blinking eyes; and there is
the French nurse with her white apron, Nor
mandy cap, lace lappets, and black eyes
glancing furtvely at every passer-by. Baby's
mother, meanwhile, reclining in larger coach
with just as fine artistic effect, is bowling
away to the Park or on her daily round of
wOrk-receptions, calls, matinees, ETC., ETC.
She complains q good deal at each place of
the weight of these social duties, especially if
she add to them charitable or devout labor,
such as that of a cOmmittee-wOman on q
charity ball or church fair She does not, as
she steps into her luxurious coach, leave
her family or household cares behind her, for
she has none to leave. With regard to her
child she certainly has the full approval of
her conscience. When she certainly found
she had committed that blunder in the fash
ionabie world and was indeed the mother of
a child she resolved, however inconvenient it
might be, to fulfill all her duties as mother
She therefore sbSred no expense as to a
layette or a wet nurse, discussing the qualities
of this last with the physician before the
creature precisely as if she were of Alderney
breed; nurse and baby were als6>eent to the
seashore last Summer at the proper time for
teething. Now that tho child's mini and
morals require training, she has procured o
bonne, warranted to be from Paris direct
whose appearance, as we have seen, Is a credit
to her employer. Nurse and baby are brought
into the dining room frequently with the
dessert, and form picturesque back ground
for few moments to fruit and flowers:
New-York tribune., 1875-02-26

"limited % to time.s What that means is
plain enough to the most ordinary understand
ing. No dictator could desire. nor could a
people surrender more. The provisions of the
bill are 80 monstrous, and the circumstances
under which its enactment is demanded are
80 significant of the ulterior purposes of its
authors, that the bare possibility of its passage
is utterly startling. The party that suffers
itself to be led by such repudiated
leaders as Butler into the support Of such
an outrage upon liberty and justice must be
irredeemably besotted and blind. If there is
any manliness left in its representatives in Con-
gress, this desperate scheme will fail. Let US
hope for the sake of the party as well as OF
the country that the action of to-day will be
final. and the death blow be given to the
whole bad business.
