rome. It is said that at least a con-
trlbutory cause is furnished by the
great destruction of timber in the dis
trict during the last century. Trees
not only absorb water largely from the
SOIL, but they also prevent tho surface
from being baked and hardened by the
sun, and they check the rapidity and
abruptness with which rain would
otherwise reach the ground. When it
falls unimpeded upon dry and barren
b1llsldes, it will run from them almost
az freely as from the sloping roofs of
honses. and few hours will carry the
water of the mountain storm to swell
the volume of the nearest river. It is
easy to be wise after the event but in
district SO situated there is great room
Tor measures of prevention, and the
riparian authorities, whoever they may
be, should be intrusted with powers
commensurate to the magnitude of the
recurring evils, which, by wise preoau-
taons, they might do much to mitigate
or avert. Even the tiny floods which
sometimes occur in this country are
often greatly aggravated by local neg
lect, by some sitting up of the channel
OF O stream, or by some ill-placed
bridge, which forms an obstacle to the
passage Of an unusual body of water.
III rivers in which are liable to be
swollen by mountain torrents the chan
Jlols should be made the objects of
llnceasipg solicitude. and the span and
construction of bridges should be de-
termined by other than purely local
considerations.

Our Riflemen in Old Ireland.

The account Of the dinner given by
the faculty of Trinity College, Dublin,
to the members of the American team
will be found full of interest. Nothing
could better illustrate the profound
friendship all classes Ct the Irish peo-
pie feel towards Americans, than this
banquet offered to our rifiemen. Among
all the conservative institutions of Ire
land, old Trinity has ever been the
most rigid and exclusive, and that fell
lows of that institution should throw
open their banqueting halls to num-
ber of republican Amarican rihemen
shows that the kindly feeling entertained
by the masses of the Irish people toward
our institutions begin to be shared even
by the most conservative element in
Ireland. The banquet itself gave occa-
sion for display of after. dinner elo-
duence at once, graceful and effective.
Toasts were drunk to tho health OF the
president of the United States, an honor
never before paid to any foreign ruler.
The value of all this is in the lesson OF
unity and good fellowship il teaehes.
If these peaceful contests at Creedmoor
and Do]lymount should do no other
good they will have removed many in
grained preiudices from the minds of
many persons. lrlBn BenIlemen Will
learn from the testimony Of men of their
own caste that the American people do
not at all resemble the typical Yankee,
and Americans who. have been drawn to
Ireland will find that the stage Irishrnan
has no existence except i'm the fertile
brains of ,dramatister Their VIC. will
also demonstrate to them the existence
of cultured and refined Irish society,
as distinct from the whisky. drinking,
riot-loying creatures pictured by for
eign caricaturists as could we'll be
imagined. With the disappearance of
these these .int and kin kindred Rrej9dices We may
tween the Irish and American people
will continue to multiply. And il these
frequent visits and interchanges Of SEN
timents do no more than this they will
have amply repaid the time and ,atten.
tion devoted to them.

THE ARCTIC EXPLORER.

From lcafy England far away,
His bones arc laid;
Not where the lark salutes tho day,
Nor where white lambs IN meadows plny,

1Ie lies within lcaflcss land,
In the cold Bnow;
Where no kind foot or kinduer hand
Can visit him, or weave band
To soften woe.
Tho white drift whirling all around
On sea aud shore;
They took him from the ship e-hsund,
And laid him gently in the ground
Fol evermorc.
And though no English lnrks shall throng,
Above his grave,
To soothe his PLUMBER with thetr song,

But to thy vision. purc and free,

An Ohio Narrow Gauge Experiment


The Painesville and Youngstown
narrow gauge railroad, in Ohio, is nearly
completed to the latter place, and has
already begun transporting coal to it's
northern terminus Mt Fairport, on
Lake Erie. 1t will soon be in full op-
Grafton and the test it will afford of the
relative economy of the three.feet and
ordinary gauges will be watched with
interest. The line is about sixty miles
long, and runs nearly little west of
north from Youngstown to tho lake. It
will have in the coal traffic the active
competition of three roads of the usual
gauge of five feet. According to the
claims of it's officers, the advantage of
the narrow-gauge is that on car weigh
ing only four tons it can carry eight
tons of coal, while the fivefeet gauge
roads transport only ten tons on q car
weighing ten. Thus the narrow gauge
gets pay for four tons as freight on each
Car which it's competitors must haul for
nothing in the shape of rolling stock.
Tho cost of building the line was about
$40, 900, probably one-fourth less than a
wide gauge road would have cost.
There is not much saving in operating
expenses, as it takes just Us many hands
TO run \ narrow train as wide one.
Considerable saving is effected; however,
in the equipment. AS passenger
road the line answers oil the require
ments Of the country it traverses. Its
cars are comfortable, and rs soon as the
road-bed becomes firm the trains will
run with as much steadiness as on
other roads.

| 4 Band of Robbors Board an Express
Train in Iiiinois-T;ie Engineer Shot
Dead, and Engino and Express Car De-
tachcd.-The Express hcSsengcrbetenus
His Car Successfully.
One Of the most high-handed attempts
at robbery that has over occurred IN
Illinois took place at Long Point, a
station on the Vandalia railroad, on the
night of the 9th inst. The dispatches
to the Chicago papers give the follow
ing particulars of the affair:
AS train No. 6, eastward bound. in
charge of Conductor Fraley and En-
Rineer Milo Ames, came up to Long
Point station for water, two men boarded
the locomotive, one from each side, and
said to the engineer Pull outl" The
engineer was at first somewhat bewild-
cred, when they said again, "Pull out p
At this he, seeming to comprehend the
situation, said ssAll right, I'll pull
out" The men then said "We will
run the thing ourselves" and ut that
both of the robbers fired. One of the
shots killed the engineer instantly, and
the other lodged in the cab. The fire.
man, who was on the tank, taking in
water, Immediately jumped and ran to
the rear of the train, to notify the train
men, he having heard the conversation
and comprehending the situation.
During these proceedings Mt the
engine, n confederate had detached the
Adams Express car, and they then, pull
ing the engine wide open, ran her about
two miles east and stopped, blowing
ssoff brakes" to deceive the express
messenger.
They then came to the door of the
car and said 'sLet me in jack" He
replied to them: "You SIS of BIS,
I'm ready for you If you ever come
in here, you arc dead men +" The rob-
bers then commenced firing into the
car. The messenger, Burke, said it
seemed to him that there were dozen
Of them, as the shots seemed to come
from all directions.
The conductor of the train-men, after
the shots were fired, saw the situation
Of affairs, and at once set about to pur-
sue the robbers. They could only
find one revolver on the train, but found
two soldiers on board q car, who we're
armed with carbines. With these
weapons the train-men and the soldiers
started in pursuit of the train and rob-
bers, but when they came up to the
train all was quiet, the robbers having
fled. They found the engineer in the
bottom of his cab, cold and stiff
There chanced to be freight engin-
eer, Jack Vancleve, on the train, and
he, with tho fireman, Immediately ran
the engine back to the train and brought
it in.
The robbers failed to get any entrance
whatever into the express car, it being
one of the close kind, and having no
windows, and very strong every way.
Had!they detached the American ex-
press car also, which was Immediately
in the rear of the Adams, they
would undoubtedly have accomplished
their object, as it was an open car, hav-
ing windows, and doors not very strong.
Engineer Ames was one of tho best
engineers on the road, about thirty.fve
years old, and had been married but a
short time.
The robbers who boarded the locomo-
tive wore long linen busters.
Conductor Fraley, and all the train
men, in fact, did ell they could under
the circumstances.

The quarrel arose on question of
precedence, and ended in q fight. The
priests went at it "tooth and nail"
fighting up and down the sacred edifce
with such fury that they had to be sep

LOOK out or more earthquakes. An
examination of the history of these sub
terranean disturbances shows that each
great earthquake-say of the dimen-
sions of the recent one at Cucuta, in
which ten thousand lives were lost
has been followed for certain period
By innumerable lesser ones. In the
summer of 1868. the coast of Chill and
Peru were shaken by terrible earth
quakes, in which many lives md vast
amount of property were lost, and, just
two months later, on October 81, San
francisco was shaken 80 violently that
buildings cracked from top to founda-.
tion, and fissures throwing forth jets Of
water opened ein the, streets. In, tho
same year the Hawaiian volcanoes had
violent eruptions, and the subjects of
Kane ehameha wess made sea. sick by the
continued swaying Of their islands. In
the same year YesuviuB opened ont
with a fresh eruption. The great
earthquakes of Caracas, in Venezuela,
and New Madrid, in the United States,
occurred Just six months apart. If
we are 10 regard these precedents, an
other great upheaval may be expected
somewhere on the American continent
between thisltime and the 1strof Janu-
ary. Tice has booked 1is for cata-
olysms, cyclones, and earthquakes, and
similar lively occurrences during the
month Of October, Taking it altogether,
