PERHAPS the most absurdly udicrous
story ever written is that which tells of
Mark Twain'S grief over his father Adams
grave. Mark, it is true, had never seen his
paternal ancestor, but the very length of
time that the old gentleman had been lying
around loose in the dust of ages was well
calculated to appeal to the sons marvelously
tender sympathes and sensibilities, and
therefore those tears of which we are told
in the modern masterpiece of humor,
''The Tnnocents Abroad" But funnier
than all the quintcscence of all the ludi-
crous conceptions that adorn the pages of
this unique volume is the fact that very
many readers of the solemn recital affect
ing father Adams grave accepted it as gen
uine in all its aspects, effects and incidents,
and Mark Twain absolutely received letters
from many sanctimonious, sober-sided,
long-visaged, pious people, protesting
against the necessity for tears, at this
iuncture, shed by Mark over the hollow
sepulchre in which Adam and Eve were en-
tombed While Marks book almost set the
atmosphere of two continents in such a
state of cachinatory vibration that people
could hardly catch breath, these solemnly
stupid spoudents were almost the cause
of his untimely demise, and Mark thinks
that in the list of these shad- bellied cores
pondents of his he has perfect catalogue
of all the stupendous, unmitigated asses
that bray through the press or at the hustings
! in America But Mark is wholly at fault.
There is one man in Texas whose perception
of the ridiculous and apprehension of a
joke is duller by all odds than that of dull
lards who condemned and pitied Marks
woes and tears at Adams tomb. This mar
vel of solemnity and lolg-facedness is the
Chairman of the Democratic Central Com
mittee. and is commonly called John Ire
land. He alone of all living men accepts
the irony of Radical secret circular as
solemn Democratic thunder, and, like the
| sanctimonious asses who condemned Mark
Twain, sets himself up, by protesting against
the seriousness of the Radical circular, a!

through freights, must make local rates
heavier, aGd then again, Rome and Ross
will howl. In this case, as in most matters
OF private right and interest, the less gov
ernment has to do with it the better for the
people, and the only remedy for intolerable
exactiOns by railways is defined by their in,
terests, perfectly concurrent with those of
the people, and in the ability Of the State
and people to construct competing railway
lines. The more railways the more people

Block Systsn for Railroads.

We fnd In looking over the proceed
ings, at the last meeting Of the British
Association. an important improvement
in the block system OF managing rail-
roads Is described. and differs from the
old method Of running trains. which
VA 10 allow q certain longth Of time TO
pass before one train could follow an
othsr. In case the forward train be-
came disabled, thero Was great danger
the next one would run into II before q
signal could DO given. This new block
system differs from this in having the
road marked OF in definite lengths or
block sections, in which sections one
train 10 not allowed TO entor until the
one ahead has passed out. Thus, by
giving q sufficient interval. safety 10 BE-
cured. The ground principal Of this
now plan IL said 70 give many adyan-
tagss BY collecting all the signals, switch
levers, and other means Of operating the
line into large signal stations placed at
every alternate block section. This sta
ton consists Of an elevated building
with very large windows, from which
tho line can be observed. By mean Of
electricity. signals are transmitted. and
tho apparatus 10 70 arranged that II is
almost impossible for the signal man to
put . signal in such . position a. would
endanger q train. without first placing
tho necessary danger signals to give
warning TO the engineer Of the train.
The Caledonia railroad In Scotland, IL
the last, whero this improvement has
been applied. The danger signals are
down on most roads and arc raised only
when needed. The design OF this inn
provemsnt il TO keep tho signals always
up. 90 that tho road 10 securely closed

watch telegraph that al 10 right. The
important advantage OF this new inn
provemsnt Is. that in case Of negligence
Oh accident, preventing the signal man
from doing his duty. tho train cannot
proceed for the rood IL closed. Another
important feature consists In tho fact
that whom . train passes. the observer
attached to the section on which u Is
running must telegraph to tho mart man
ahead TO notify him Of the fact, when
this man tslegraphs to the nsIt observer
to ask II his section 10 clear. and not un-

+. Cheyenne indiana on the warpath.

A revolt occurred at tho Cheyenne
Agency ON tho 9Th Of this month, and q
fight onsued between the Indians and

the affair:
While the guards were attempting TO

prisoner broke away. The guards fred
and hit him. This provoked several
shots from the camp Of the hostile Chcy-
ennes. causing great CONSERVATION.
The hostile Indians, men. women and
children, fed to the sand hills. The
friendly Indians stood true. Captain
Rafferty,. in command OF sixty cav
alrymen. was sent in pursuit Of
tho fugitiyes. He was reinforced by
General Neill with threo companies.
Owing to the depth Of tho sand tho
troops had to dismount and charge ON
foot. Tho Indians hold thoir position in
the hills until night and then rctroated
under cover Of the darkness. The troops
were repulsed three times. General
Pope has started all tho available troops
from Hays. Dodge and North Fork to
intercept the fugitive Indians. They
arc mostly unarmed and arc certain to
DO recaptured. A few have knives and
rovolvers concealed. Some excitement
prevails among the Indian prisoners at
Fort Sill. The most dangerous are
heavily ironed.
A dispatch received at General Sheri-

sixteen killed and wounded. A force
