A Nights Experience on the Branci,

The Illinois Central branch to Contra
liza, in times agone, furnished material for
many a good story, and when the boys
were of duty they would congregate mt
the round-house and spin yarns rela-
tive to the wonderful things that hap
pened since the road was built. The
branch was thrown together in q hurry,
out OF cast-off rails, laid upon crooked
ties, the latter resting on an ungraded
bed, except i'll a few places. An old en-
gineer, who reioiced in the not very
euphonious cognomen of "Boots," and
who was fond of the marvellous, mt GER
tain gathering held in the above men
toned rendezvous related the following
story relative to a nights experience on
the branch:
"You remember, boys, in IS the
winter that the ilanges of the rails were
filed with slush and ice for hundred
miles out from Chica9ol Well, one
night during that very identical winter,
your old pap was coming north with a
heavy freight engine, following No. 9,
which consisted of only baggage car
and one coach. 1t was showing and
blowing like blue blazes, and you couldn't
have seen two feet beyond the headlight.

see any signs of the next station, wereh
we were to meet No. 1. / looked at my
watch, and discovered that had just t,oo
minutes to make the meeting point. You

she was worth, pulled her wide open,
gave her little sand, and yelled out to
my fireman, Stoke it to her Jim, if you
don't want TO be sent home in box-car

The students never failed TO hand him

A " Moving" Scene.


Not very long since a daily paper
wrote up" an individual in all the
colors of the rainbow and of several tints
good deal darker than that curved
emblem of hope. In fact, by the time
the paper got through with him his
character appeared of African hue and
there wasn't enough hide left on him to
cover his nerves of sensibility. They
wrote him up in one column and down
in another and crosswise between times.

Chapter second transpired the next
day. when the written down individual
found time to call around mt the editorial
office. He came in with tears in his
eyes and his fist doubled up. In one
band he clasped a persuasive looking
club and the other tenderly caressed a
big bowlder. He entered the sanctum,
and. in those dulcet tones that betoken a
likelihood of something "gwine to drap,
inquired for the editor. That gentle
man. scissors in hand, was calmly perus-
inc newspaper, searching for an origi-

was he promptly remarked, " am, sir. "
And then he looked mp in joyful expecta-
ton of new subscriber. One glance
was sufficient. He didn't see two-dol-
lar greenbacx but an irate individual
making for him with glances that meant
vengeance. He scaled the table and
started for back door. On the way he
ran over the stove, knocked it down, the
devil fell on a dog, the dog howled and
ran over a cat, and the cat, in order to
save herself, ran up the leg of the written

THAT the farmers of the Great West
are deeply interested in the subject of
transportation was clearly shown in the
United States Senate, Just before the
close of the session, when Mr.. Window,
of Minnesota, presented q monster peti-
ton containing the autograph signatures
of As, 1853 horny-handed tillers of the soil,
praying for better and cheaper means Of
transporting their products to market.
OF this number, ID, 1872 reside in Mime
sofa, II, 154 in Wisconsin, i7,154 in
Iowa, 5,S3S in Nebraska, and 1,025 in
Dakota-with Illinois and Kansas to be
heard from. In presenting it, Mr.. Win
dom very pertinently said that it was
but faint expression of the sentiments
and demands of the people of the North
west. This petition, says the Inter
ocean, is probably the largest ever pre-
sented in Congress. Many years ago
Edward Everett, of Massachusetts,, pre-
sented the petition of 5000 New England
praying tor the repeal OF the
Fugitive Slave law, and that, from its
great size, attracted much attention.
But this monster appeal for some better
means of transportation outweighs any
thing of the kind ever presented to Con
gress, and happily illustrates the mag
nifcent manner i'll which they 60 things

The reports that have recently come
from the Black Hills will undoubtedly
have on important influence upon the col
onization Of that country in the spring.
The Chicago Tribune expresses the be-
lief thai as soon as the weather becomes
fit for travel there will be such rush to
the new Eldorado as took place years
ago to Pixies PeGk-that the swarm of
adyentuers, and gold-hunters
will spread themselves over that region
like ants, and viii go there in such clouds
that the whole army of the United States
VIII not be able to stop them, nor al the
Indians west of the Mississippi. If the
Black Hills country is half that it is de-
scribed-a region abounding IN gold, sill
yer and other minerals, having maSniti-
cent and well-watered valleys, fertile
soil, limitless forests OF pine, filled with
every description of game, etc, there is
no good reason why it should not be pop
ulated and improved as soon as possible.
The Indians are doing nothing for it,
and never will. The Tribune, however,
adds timely word of caution to those
who may be attacked with the Black
Hills fever, and recalls the fate of the
Pixies Peak victims as a warning against
a repetition of such infatuation and
headlong haste to get rich.

WILMINGTON. DEL. JULY 20, 1878:

There are now in the employ OF the
City Council five civil engineers and two
clerks. What all these gentlemen do is
what "fsllar can't find out" They re-
ceive as pay about $1,000 year. They
do nothing on the basin, very little sur
veying on the streets. and for their SER
vices in running building lines make
about $40 month, which they pay over
to the city. One city surveyor and an
assistant used to run all the building
lines and do all the surveying for about
81 900 a year, and this too when there
were as many houses built as there have
been for either of the last two years.
This shows how the propensity to in
crease the number Of salaried officers has
crept upon the people. Here is direct
loss 70 the city of at least the interest of
100000 per year. A Democratic Coun-
ell would never be allowed to keep such
a useless force. Certainly the city might
try to get along with one engineer and
an assistant these hard times.
