Morrow is station on the Little Miami
road, about forty miles from Cincinnati.
A new brakeman on the road, who did not
know the names of the stations, was ap-
preached by stranger the other day,
while standing by his train at the depot,
who inquired:
Does this train go to Morrow to- day p
NO" replied the brakeman, who
thought the stranger was making game of
him. it goes to-day, yesterday, week after
rext.
"You don't understand me- persisted
the stranger; l want to go to Morrow. y
well, why in the thunder don't you
wait till tomorrow, and not come bother
ing around to-day? You can go to-mor-
row or any other day you please"
Wont you answer civil question
civilly? Will this train go to day to MGR
row?"
Not exactly 1t will go to day and
come back tomorrow.
As the stranger who wanted to go te
Morrow was about to leave in disgust
another employee, who knew the station
alluded to- came along and gave the de-
sired information.

The most revolving bit of testimony yet
given in the Fort Sill Investigation was the
remark made by Marsh in regard to how
he came to pay money to the secretary of
war. st must have been, he said. lin
consequence of some arrangement on the
night after the funeral of Mrs. Belknap,
with Secretary Belknap and Mrs. Bow

ing. Let any man who has lost wife, or
woman who has lost sister. conceive for
M ment of the heartlessness of the
thing. 1t was the evening OF the day they
had followed the dead to her last resting
place. Then, if eyer, grief and holy agony
possesses the bereaved. To talk over
ordinary business at such time, would
be bad enough; hut to arrange for the
division of the spoils of fraud, as "a family
matter was infinitely worse. Chicago

The Virginia Legislature appears to be
emily less honest than patriotic. 1t re-
fused to make an appropriation for the
Centennial after a most astonishingly
ludierous speech from colored member
who would havo none OF reconciliation,
and it has now, after formal investi-
CATION, further distinguished itself by
expelling delegate for the romantic
crime Of drawing fellow-delegate's pay
and appropriating it to his own pocket.
The vote on the question of expulsion
is recorded as ninety to three, the mi
nority consisting of two colored Repub-
hcans and one Conservative, who deli
eately explained his position by stating
that "as all negroes would steal, he did
not see the policy of expelling one when
he well knew another would be elected
in his place. If one was to be expelled
for stealing, why not e1pel them all ?"
Why not, indeed But we may be per-
mitted to hope that the one virtue which
ought to be indispensable In legislators
is not yet SO scarce an article in the Vir-
