The Herald'sc lightning Train.

TO memorize the last run of the light
ming express train of the year 1875, the
managers of the Hcrayd invited repre-
seutatives from the papers in New York
city and vicinity to enjoy the trip on
Sunday last to Buffalo The CONNER
cidi gives an account OF the trip, from
which we quote
"At Syracuse the train was ten min
utes late, but here was attached to it the
famous locomotive No. 10. with the
celebrated engineer "Jem' Wood, and
after breakfast the train was whistling
along again. 1t was from Rochester TO
Buffalo that the "lightning" Z" feature was
really exhibited. Palmyra, So miles,
was run III So minutes, gain of min
utes. Between Batavia and Buffalo
miles were run at the extraordinary rate
of 70 miles an hour, while the whole run,
30 miles, was made in 30 minutes, and
the train arrived in Buffalo 10 minutes
ahead of time. The stretch to Niagara
Falls over level road was done at the
ordinary rate of speed, reaching there
on time. To persons sitting in the car
during the fast travelling q most unac-
countable feeling was experienced. To
walk through the car was impossible.
Telegraph posts were passed Mt an aver
age of one in two seconds, while trees
and hedges in many instances appeared
to be an interminable mass of bramble
and brush. Many persons in the cars
were alarmed, although the high rate of
speed seemed to be generally admired.
All along the route mt every house were
people gazing at the swiftly passing
train, with wonder and amazement de-
picted Oh their countenances, and in one
instance people rushed from little
country church, which bordered on the
roadside, stood for an instant, and as the
train whirled around curve the aston
ished worshipers were seen re-entering
the church.

An ObtuSe Man.

She was stylish young lady about Is
years old, and to accommodate a friend
she took the baby out for an airing. She
was wheeling it up and down the walk
when an oldish man, very deaf, came
along and inquired for a certain person
supposed to live on that street. She
nearly yelled her head off trying to an
swer him, and he looked around, caught
sight of the baby and said:
"Nice child, that. l suppose you feel
proud of him -
"It isn't mine," she yelled at him.
"Boy. eh? Well, he looks just like
YOU"
"It isn't mine! !" she yelled again, but
he nodded his head and colt tnued
"Twins, eh? Where's the other
one 2"
She started off with the cab, but he
followed and asked
"Did it die of colicl"
Despairing of making him understand
by word Of mouth she pointed to the
baby, at herself, and then shook her
head.
"Yes-yes, / see-'tother twin in the
house. Their father is fond of them, OF
course :"
She turned the cab and hurried the
other way, but he followed and asked
"Do they kick around much nights 2"
81 tell you 'taint mine," she shouted,
very red in the face.
I" L think you are wrong there !" he
answered. "Children brought up on
the bottle are apt to pine and die. :"
She started on a run for the gate, but
before she had opened it he came pand
asked
"Have to spank EN- once in a while,
L suppose 2"
She made about twenty gestures in
half minute, and he helped the cab
through the gate and said
"Our children were all twins, and I'll
send my wife down to give you some adj
vice. You see"
But she picked up fower-pot and
flung it at him. He jumped back, and
as she entered the house he called out !:

Wholesale Disfranchisement.

In a case which recently came before
ii the Supreme Court of Illinois has rem
dereu n decision which disfranchises
probably %, 600 persons who have here
tofore exercised the right OF suffrage,
and whose right to do so previous to the
adoption Of the new Constitution in 1870
was unquestioned. The suffrage article
of the Constitution of 1870 provides
that "every person having resided III
this State one year, in the county ninety
days, and in the election district thirty
days next preceding any election therein,
who a00S an ciectOr in this State on the
first day Of April, A. ID. 1S4S, or oh
talred a certificate of naturalization he
fore any court of record III this State
prior to the first day of January, A. ID.
1870, OF who shall be a male citizen of
the United States above the age of
twenty-)ne years, shall be enti-
tied 20 vote at such election.
According to the Constitution of 1S48,
which was the organic law Of the State
until 1t was superseded by the instru-
ment adopted in 1870, the right Of sui
frage was conferred upon every white
male inhabitant of the age of twenty-one
who WIS q resident of the State at the
time of the adC?tion of the Constitution.
BY this provision, all foreigners who
were inhabitants of the State and who
We're willing to accept citizenship, were
naturalized. The Supreme Court, how
ever, holds that the sons of these natu-
ralized citizens, born before 1S4S, not
having been electors in 1S4S, and not
being citizens by birth or naturalization,
are not now lawful electors Whatever
may be said of the reasoning by which
the Supreme Court has arrived at this
remarkable conclusion, it is certainly far
from being in accordance with the plain
intent of the provisions in the Constitu
tion of 1870, and it works the rankest
kind of injustice.

Adventure with a Grizzly Bear.

II. Wilourn, of the Sespe, on Wednes-
day night, about 10 o'clock, while with
his sheep in the hills heard his dog bark
ing savagely at some object, but was not
alarmed. Suddenly the dog came howl
ing to him, with grizzly bear immedi-
ately behind. He had no firearms, aud
no time to think what was best to do,
and before he could even turn around
was attacked and thrown, he thinks,
about ten or fifteen feet. He fell upon
a sharp rock and was severely cut. AZ
ter falling the bear came upon him and
scratched him badly about the abdomen
and shoulders, but did not bite him
Wilburn remained perfectly quiet, as If
dead, and the bear hearing the dog bark
ing at the cubs which she had left be-
hind, ran off swiftly. He then hobbled
home, about one mile distant. He has
six OF eight severe cuts on his body, and
dozen or more scratches and severe
bruises. He will probably recover, but
will be confined to his bed for several
weeks. Wilburn says that if the dog
had not attacked the cubs he would have

Incredible Inhumanity.

From Philadelphia comes n story of
brutal treatment to an old man nearly
seventy-five years of age, by his son,
secondhand clothes dealer, in one of the
slums of the city. The old man had
about 5000, which the son succeeded in
getting hold of, and soon the father dis
appeared. The police got wind of the
affair and made a search about the
premises for the missing man. The son
was asked what he had in his cellar, and
he Immediately replied that he was keep
ing his dogs there, but denied that his
aged father was imprisoned in the
wretched hole. This denial, however,
did not satisfy the officers, and they con
cluded to explore the cellar for them
selves. The door was unlocked and the
two officers went down into the Gimme
rian darkness. They had provided them
selves with a candle, fortunately, and
struck a light. The white-haired old
man was discovered lying upon rotten
straw mattress in one corner of the black
hole, in a terrible plight. The atmos-
phere of the damp abode was staggering
and poisonous, there being no ventilation
in any nook or corner.
Around him was a pack of savage
dogs, while the dirt floor was strewn
with bones and half-eaten plucks in an
advanced stage of decomposition, and
emitting a horrifying stencil. The un-
natural son had not q word of apology
10 utter in extenuation of the cruel usage
of his father, but the latter complained
bitterly. The son was ordered TO take
his parent out of the dog pit, which he
did. Not satisfied with the persecution
he had already inflicted, the son took
the old man across the street TO an empty
house which he had rented, and locked
him up in it. There was no bed in it
for him to sleep upon, no chair upon
which to sit, 10 light to dispel the night
ly gloom, and no companionship but the
huge rats which thrive in great commu-
mites among the shambles and dens of
the street. In this miserable rookery
the old man existed for three days and
nights, his son taking him water and
cold scraps of victuals once day with
which TO ward off starvation. Finally,
another son. who had heard of the fiend-
ish treatment which the old man was
receiving, came and took him away to
his home in West Philadelphia.

THE REAPERS.

kecedes 20 give them way;
The heavy ears fall bowling down,
And nestle at their feet,

Must win-must homage meet.
SO careless OF fatigue they go,
SO true, 80 steadily,
The admiring traveller on the road
Leans DER the gate 20 see;
With marvel of the soon-falien breadth,
The lounging gossips tell;
But the reapers labor for us all;
lis need they should work we'll.
Ere the great SUI that burns above
Shall crimson in the west,
And the Childrens poppy nosegays fade,
And they lie down TO rest.
Each golden spear that upward points
shall fall upon the field,
4 nd the farmer drain a sparkling glass,
Rejoicing DER the yield.
Ply, bonny men, your sickles bright,
And give the people bread
AZ every cOnquering stride you take,
On want and woe you tread.
Drop, heavy ears, and give the strength
You gathered from this plain,
That man may rise refreshed and firm,
And do great things again.
God bless the hands, all hard and brown,
That guide the cleaving plow,
That cast abroad the shining seed,
And build the wealthy NOV;
They rear the bread our children eat;
'Tis 10y their toll we live:
Hurrah give them the loudest cheer
That grateful hearts can give.

on that portion of the road. This loco
motive, when fully initiated, is expected
to get away with 100 cars. The only ax-
gument that can be used against large
engines is that they are hard on tracks,
but as the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany has adopted steel rails-able TO
withstand greater pressure than iron
rails-the wear will not be material.

A Ghost Worth Having Around.

The Bridgeport (Ct.) Farmer says
that city possesses wonderful material
izing medium. The story is as follows:
1t was only few weeks ago that the
person to whom we refer became con-
scious of his peculiar powers, but since
his discovery he has continued to exer-
else them and they have rapidly devel-
oped. Thus far the seances have been
held in the presence of n small party of
his acquaintances, in darkened room,
which, with the exception of small
table, is utterly destitute of furniture.
No believer in spiritualism had yet at
tended these sittings, so that it cannot
be said that any of his audience were un-
duly prepared to give credence to the
genuineness of the manifestation, and
yet all of the spectators with whom we
have conversed are convinced that there
was no collusion or trickery in the effects
produced. One of the remarkable feats
performed by the spirits is the bringing
upon.the table supply of fresh tropical
flowers. The flowers exhale beautiful
fragrance, are fresh with dew, and of
varieties which cannot be produced in
this vicinity. The members of the circle
the other evening were also regaled with
splendid cigars dropped upon the table
by spirit visitors, and the medium him
self was refreshed a day or two ago with
n plate of ice cream furnished by the
same mysterious agency. The medium
can also materialize the spirits so that
they become visible to those in the room.
The spirits also play on musical instru-
ments and write messages on the wall
and table, which to the ordinary observ-
ers are mere hieroglyphics, but to the
spiritual vision of the medium are really
Ineligible" "
