TiIE Fort Worth Democrat states
that Mr.. Wallace the nominee of Tar

member of the old Texas congress,

A Needed Railroad Reform.

The news that the great American
dead head has driven to despair all the
managers of all the railroads, and COM
PEELED them to recognize him as bellig.
erent, is rendered less al rming by the
further information that one great line
has struck O blow at the sleeping-car
monopoly and reduced its rates from
81 for each berth to $3.50. Sleeping
and palace cars are always running and
earning money, their life is longer than
that of other rolling stock, and they are
always filled to their utmost capacity,
SO that there is no earthly reason why
their occupants should be charged at
the rate of 81 night. plus fifty cents
or 81 to the orter. Great as is their
convenience for the business traveller
who desires fully to economic his time,
their expense is by no means light on
his pocket, and if SO desirable reform
as reduction can be brought about and
made general, the travelling public, East
and West, will be deeply indebted to
the Illinois Central Company.-Ne,o
York World.

20 come had it not been for sudden
and mysterious development of good
fortune.
One dark, stormy night two men
came up the river in their little black
sloop, which had been engaged in many
marauding expedition, and landed at
Bay Ridge, in the rear of the unoccu-
pied residence of Judge Van Brunt,
with the intention of robbing it. Not
knowing that the house was provided
with q burglar alarm connected with
the adjoining residence of the Judges
brother, the two burglars entered. The
alarm did its work. The family was
aroused, and the Judge, his son, and
the hostler armed themselves, went
over to the house, and at last, tired of
waiting for the burglars to come out,
opened the doors and provoked an en-
counter which resulted in the death of
the two villains. They were Mosher
and Douglas. Mosher was killed in
stantly, and Douglas lived long enough
to confess he assisted in the abduction
of Charlie Ross, but died without dis
closing the whereabouts of the boy.
The identity of the two burglars has
been established beyond doubt, Charlie
Ross brother, uncle, and others having
identified them as the abductors, and
their relatives having identified them
as Mosher and Douglas.
Death has visited sharp and quick
revenge upon the two rufians, but
where is Charlie Ross? Mosher's wife,
| who might have told something, has
disappeared. Douglas wife or mis-
tress, through terror of the detectives
power, has agreed to tell all she knows
at the inquest, but this may not amount
to anything definite. A more joyful
denouement than the restoration of the
little fellow to his home again could
not be imagined; but this may not be
possible. The clouds still hang dark
over the afflicted home, but the crime
has been fearfully avenged. The same
good fortune which made the two
scoundrels targets for the unerrine
practice of the Van Brunts may YET
bring back the little fellow, and fill the
chair which has been vacant so long in
the Germantown home. Chicago

A NEW YEARS MYTH.

1.-THE peasants of Translyvania have a supersti
ton that, at the moment when the old year merg
into the new the cattle speak, but in langus &c un
known to men, and that whoever hears them dies.
Pile wood on the fire, Wilhelmina,
Here's Caspar come home from the plain
The wind whistles bleak at the Intel,
The frost-fairies tap on the pane.
Tonight the Old Year is departing
With steps that are tardy but sure;
Between the wild gusts of the night-wind,
His footballs are heard on the moor.
The herdsmen have gone from the pastures
To their huts the edge of the pines;
The mixers crouch close in their novels;
The miners lie low in their mines.
For, tonight, when the Old Year expiring
To the Coming Year waves his farewell,
Uplifting their heads Ia the oow-pens
The cattle strange things will foretell-
In words so unearthly and weird
That the wolves to their coverts will fee,
And the imp-lights will fade in the marshes,
And the owlet will cover in her tree.
And if unto ears that are human
Go floating the mystical words
That, just as the Old Year out-pasees,
Gush forth from the lips Of the herds
Deaths dart like a thunderbot flashes
And lifeless the listener falls,
As the New Year sets foot on the threshold
And his shadow towers up on the walls.
Ho Caspar, the herds must be talking,
The step of the New Year arrives
Draw your cloak over yo1r head, Wilhelmina,
On our knees let US pray for our lives

of the rest exceed IL, 900. Surat has IL
guns and no infantry. Cochin has .
guns Travancore 6 and 60 cavalry.
Several of the States have no cavalry,
but two or three guns. The moral to
be drawn from this formidable looking
array is, says the Times of India, that
it might one day be turned against old
England, and, as there are just six
tinaes as many native soldiers under the
orders of native chiefs as there are
British soldiers In India, the conse-
quences might be unpleasant.

was Mamma Mullen. She was liable
to ideas. There are some people who
regard such person with suspicion,

but they more frequently stamp the
man or woman subject to them as
dangerous. The world is like Saul.
