A vERY CLOSE CALL.-Last evening ~
the Reno train was about TO start from
Virginia, a man who had been putting his
illuminated nose into the glass too ofton
made n spectacle Of himself around the
depot. He swore. staggered and laughed,
talked. shouted and spoke slightingly OF
the Trinity. When tile locomotive whis-
tied aud the cars began to move the man
lurched forward and fell with his head
under the wheel. Men rushed forward
and dragged the body away from the rail.
Drunkards' luck was seen again. The
crown VI the mans hat had been cut com-
pletely OH by the wheels, and the only
damage done To the fellow was the loss OF
some ~ his hair. The brim Of his SOM
brcro still graced his head wh,n they
caught him by the heels and Ierked him
out Of danger. 'That's u damned close
CALL" was his grateful remark. and the
face Of Coroner Hodges, who was present,
wore u paincd expression.

ceiyed from Indiana the Democrats In this
region don't treat 50 frequently a. they

" l was told to-day story so touching,
in reference 70 this, that you must let me
tell it. 1t is a temperance case, but it
will illustrate this just as we'll. 1t is
story of a mother on the green hills of
Vermont holding by the right hand
son, sixteen years old, mad with the love
of the sea. And as she stood by the gar.
den gate on sunny morning, she said
Edward, they tell me-for l never saw
theocean-.that the great temptation of the
seaman's life is drink. Promise me, be-
fore you quit your mothers hand, that
you will never drink. And said he, for
he told me the whole story, Il gave her
the promise, and went the broad globe
over-Calcutta, the Mediterranean, San
Francisco. the Cape of Good Hope, the
north pole and tho south pole. l saw
them all in forty years, and never saw
glass filed with sparkling liquor, that
my mothers form by the gate, on the
green hillside Of Vermont. did not rise
before me: and to-day, at sixty, my lips
are innocent Of the taste Of liquor Was

single word 7 Yet that was but half
For. said he, yesterday there came into
my counting room young man of forty,
and asked me, ado you know me 2" No. :
"Well, was once brought drunk into
your presence on shipboard YOU were

you took me to your berth and kept me
till l had slept off the intoxication. Then
you asked Inc if l ever had mother; |
