SoME of the most Incorporate, i'm
reasonable fanatics in Princeton, are the
so called Temperance men. They
think that because they are temperate
in the use Of ardent spirits, that they
have a perfect right to be Incorporate
in everything else; to vilify and mis-
represent all who are not as fna atical as
themselves. We have heard several
express their disgust in no very meas.
ured terms regarding tie conduct of
several Temperance men, at last
Tuesdays election; and what fair
minded, impartial man would not be
disgusted with the miserable liars?
The temperance cause is good cause,
and we should hate to see interest in the
movement, abate; but such outbursts
of fanaticism. as caused the misrepre.
sentations on last Tuesday, haye,a ten
dency to decrease the interest in the

A Tramp's Terrible Ride.

A TRAMP who arrived here a few
days ago from the West gives his ex.
perience in deadheading it over the
Union Paci0c from Cheyenne to Green
River, on the Jarrett & Palmer train,
by climbing upon the roof of a coach.
He says that from Cheyenne to Sher-
man he rather enjoyed the ride, but
that between Sherman and Green Riv-
er his expeience was one never to be
forgotten. The rapid movement of
the train and the rocking Of the coach
forced him to wind his arms and legs
around d stove pipe and hang on for
dear life. His hat flew off early in the
ordeal, and after the train left this city
he was discovered by the engineer. who
began throwing heavy sh over of Gin
ders; but so rapid was the movement
OF the train that the heaviest ones on
.ly cut through his clothes like bullets
while the lighter sparks passed above
hbove him. His coat-tails tapped so
hard that he realized that he must
part with them, but he dared not
loosen q hand to tnck them under him
and they. were soon torn off to blow
away. although he managed to keep
his face&behind the pipe nearly all the
time, heswas frequently struck in the
face by flying cinders, SO that when he
reached Green River his face and neck
were badly cut and scratched. So
great was the poor tramp's fear Of be-
ing thrown off and killed. that this,
added to the terrible strain of hanging
to the pipe by main strength for so
long distance, and the intense suffer-
ing from the wounds inflicted by the
cinders, caused his hair to turn gray,
and when he climbed down at Green
River he looked like mnn who had
seen fifty instead Of twenty-five sum.

The Brave Brakeman.

q have often heard of the brave
and daring deeds of engineers, tiremen
and brakemen,'' said a well-known
cattle dealer, yesterday, in the hear:
ing*of a Bee reporter, ''blt l never
witnessed a more daring feat than that
performed hY Pat O,Keefe, a brakeman
on the Grand Island Division of the
Union Pacific Railroad. 1t was on

were running pretty fast for a freight
train-about % miles an hour-eqn-

jolted fearfully. When. we were with
in about mile and half of Shelton
Station the door of one of the cars flew
off, having been kicked from its fast
ening by one of the steers. O'Keefe
saw the door fly off, and yelled out,
For Gods sake stop the train,' but his
voice was drowned by the rattle OF
the cars and did not reach the engin-
.eer, The next thing l saw was steer

its feet, and skipped off at lively
gait, entirely unharmed, and went to
grazing. That's fact, strange as it
may seem. | expected to sec the
whole car load follow him, but thev
didn't, for O'Keefe had by this time
climbed down the side of the car, be-

hand, he took his hat in the other and
waved it back and forth in the open
door in thes face Of the steers, and
thus kept them at bay until we arrived

The bible says, ..one Lord, one faitl1.

ask if there is such a. church on earth.
and what is its name? There is such
an one, and its name IS the church OF

A'WoNDERFUL GIRL.-A CORES
pondent of the Eagle gives a start
ling account of a. very singular phe-
nomenon witnessed in young girl
residing three miles over the hills
from Ephrata. Drs. Beck and Je-
rome report the facts. She is a
daughter of Edward Hyatt and is in
her 18th year. Up to within two
weeks ago she appeared perfectly
healthy, but recently strange and
mysterious affection.-has seized hold
upon her. She has gradually in
creased in size to an alarming extent.
From her feet to her head her limbs
are swollen, and she appears. nearly
twice rs heavy as she was two weeks
ago, when the fact is she is much
lighter. Her skin :is2arawn very
tightly over her flesh, and it more
resembles an inflated bladder than
anything else. The poor child suf-
fers little pain, but she is deeply
mortified at Il er schocking appear
ance. None of her clothing fits her,
aad she says she feels as light as a
feather. An experiment was made
in a bath tub filled with warm water,
and she actually fioated like a life
preserver. Her entire body is puff
ed, and her cheeks, arms and limbs
seem swollen and ready to burst.
When the cuticle is punctured with
a silver needle air escapes in puffs,
and in this manner the skin is pre-
vented flom bursting. 1t is not
dropsy. The patient says she feels
light enough to fly, and as the case
is a mystery to the physicians it is
intended to take her to Philadelphia
for examination.-Rsading Eagle.

Coy. TILpEN's PosIrIoN.-l

Gov. TILDEN's PosITIoN.-Is
is still disputed question in some
quarters whether or not Gov. Tilden
was in favor of the electoral bill
which gave to Bradley the power Of
saying who should fill the Presiden-
tial chair foc the ensuing four years.
To settle all doubts en- the subject,
we are permitted to say, on the au-
thority of responsible gentleman,
who held intimate relations with
Gov. Tilden from the beginning to
the close Of the struggle, that the
Governor was never in favor of the
electoral bill, but that, on the con-
trary, he distinctly refused to give
his endorsement to it, and regarded
the measure us alike unnecessary
and unconstitutional. Hefelt, how
ever, that it would be indelicate for
one in his position to assume to die
tate to the representative of the De-
mocracy in Congress what their
course should be on the subject, and,
for that reason, declined to make
his views publicly known or to take
any steps that might seem ike an
undue interference with their free
dom of action. The gentleman re-
ferred to further informs us that so
far from Mr.. Hewitt being the
spokesman Of Gov. Tilden, as gencr-
ally understood, they frequently and
radically disagreed on matters of
party and public policY.-Erie o.
