An Engineers Story.

The Muscatine journal says the
following was overheard by citizen
of that place, who considers it equal
to a Calitornian's last efforts:
His name was lob Norton, as
good an engineer as ever drew a
throttle, called for brakes, or told the
truth, on the B., G. II. Il NJ. Railway.
His train "a freight was on the side
track waiting for the express to pass,
when he entered the station and sat
down. The late storm was the sub
ject of conversation, when lob broke

The Postmaster General in his late official

in an economic point of view, and may
result in q reform in the matter OF erecting

fact can be fully established in advance that
such buildings are quite unnecessary and a

Among the graduates at the commence

night, was Moung Edwin, a Karen, from
Burnah, who now goes to one Of our theO-
logical seminaries 10 prepare himself more
fully for the work of preaching the Gospel TO
his countrymen. Though subjected to all the
inconvenience of acquiring knowledge from
textbooks written in a language with which
he had scarcely any acquaintance before he
came TO our shores, he has, nevertheless
stood side by side with the first students OF
his class, and has even gained two prizes In
most difficult departments of stuiv-in the
Greek language, and in mathematics. Such
young man is certainly entitled TO our adj
miration, not only for his superior abilities
and christian character, but also for his de-
termination, energy and perseverance,
qualities which justify us in expecting great
things from him in the future

Those who have investigated the subject
assert that the expense TO the government for
Geographic dispatches apprOximates near
TO the rates paid by the public on account OF
the verbOsity INDUCED in by many govern
ment officers in using the telegraph. The
charge at present is one cent for every word
for circuit of two hundred and fifty miles an
additional cent being charged for every adj
citional circuit. The telegraph COMPANIES
however, in the case of the government, in
clude the address and signature in their
charge, which they DO not when private in
-dividualS use their lines. Ii frequently hap
pens that the address and signature are quite
as long as the dispatch itself. For instance
General John Smith, who. we will suppose
commands an expedition TO the Black Hills
telegraphs To Gen. Sherman at St Louis, his
telegram being addressed. General w
sherman. commanding the armies OF the
United States, headquarters. st. Louis, Mo :"
and signed "BTevet Brigadier General John
Smith, commanding expedition to the Black
HIS" Here we have about twenty-five
words, each one of which costs the govern
ment cent every time IL goes over a two
hundred-and fifty-mile circuit. IL is prob
able that reform in this particular will be
introduced, especially as it is found inexpe-
dent TO reduce the present rates, except TO
limit the maximum price paid 10 ten cir
cuts, or ECO words.

HENDRICKS.

The st. Louis Times of recent date
contains letter in which the opinion Of
Il prominent Indianian is expressed as
below:
Hendricks is idolized in this state.
People here know his truth, his sterling
manhood, his inestimable worth, his un.
alterable and infexiblc democracy, his
,teadfastness in adversely, his GOODNESS
in danger. and his unbending patriotism
in every crisis, and they will stand by
him to the end of his political life Hem
bricks is modest man, and one who
rates the presidency at its worth. To be
assured Of it TOMORROW he would not
electioneer for it. When reporters come
to interview him. rs it is called, he re.
fuses, and always will refuse, to submit
TO what is known as the pumping pro-
cess. He does this from principle. He
believes that when man has anything
to say. he should say it directly to the
people. There is no chance then for
Misrepresentation. and none to dodge
the issue after it is made. He enuncia-
ted his opinions clearly on the financial
question during the Ohio campaign. and
they were in perfect harmony with the
Allen platform, as interpreted by Pen
dleton. Opposed to both imitation and
contraction, and firm in the belief that
the specie resumption law of last winter
| should be repealed by the incoming con-
gress. he could not be more in harmony
with the public sentiment of the west
and south if he We're to try II year. As
| he stands so stands the democracy of In
diana. What more would you have?
| He did his best for Allen in Ohio. and
when Allen was defeated no man sor-
rowed more sincerely than Thomas A.
| Hendricks.
