The Grim Engineer.

A locomotive engineer from the
Baltimore & Ohio Railroad was in
Detroit last week on a brief visit to
his sister. In some way or other a
new reporter on one of the daily
papers came across the man and
appointed an interview in order to
secure the engineers adventures
during the slate war" The brother
of the foot-board was willing
to tell his story, and without
stopping to take on wood or water
he began:
81 ran the last passenger train
over the road-the last train allow
ed to pass by the strikers. All the
train officials were heavily armed,
many of the passengers carried re-
volvers, and we were all ready for
a muss. We expected that the
strickers would displace rail, let us
through a bridge, or switch us into
gravel pit, and just before we left
the station l kissed my wife and
told her where she would find the
sum of $4,000 which | had buried
in the garden.
Possible !" gasped the new
reporter as he made note of it.
"And my fireman, feeling certain
that he would not live two hours
longer, confessed to me that he was
the abductor of Charlie Ross and
that he once murdered a man in
Missouri"
The reporter made his pencil fly
a minute, and when he let up his
notebook read:
"Great Heavens = *-cooly
confessed-S3S, S,000-Charlie Ross
=! f! murdered seventeen men
-name of firemen Tom Collins!
! !-more coming *-!!p
"And the conductor of the train"
continued the engineer, "also pre-
pared for death. He returned to
the company S2,55s,644 l3 which
he had knocked down during his
connection with the road, and
humbly asked forgiveness. He
was much troubled to think he had
invested his share of the plunder
in founding an orphan asylum and
could not restore it to the road.
He owned up to having killed an old
woman or two, but | forgot their
names, or whether they struggled
very hard when be was choking
them"
The pale-face young man wrote
again, and his notebook read:
Further horrors CON
ductor stricken with remorse-! ! I!
restores money-owns up to
murders-sees ghosts of his VIC
tins around him! ! !-biggest
item ever published in a Detroit
paper scoop The Free
Press stone blind! II
"Well, we finally pulled out"
said the grim engineer, as he wiped
his heated brow on the back of his
hand, 81 had Derringer on one
side of me, a revolver on the other,
a bowie-knife down behind my
coat-collar, and q musket loaded
with one hundred and seventeen
buck shot was strapped to my back.
The fireman had four revolvers
and six one-pound cans of nitro

The Printers Hiawatha.

Should you ask us why this dunning!
Why these sad complaints and murmurs!
Murmurs loud about delinquents,
Who have read the paper weekly,
Read what they have never paid for,
Read with pleasure and with profit,
Read Of church affairs and prospects,
Read the news both home and foreign,
Read the essays and the poems
Full Of wisdom and instruction;
Read the table of the markets,
Carefully corrected weekly
Should you ask us why this dunningi
From the printer, from the mailer,
From the kind old paper maker,
From the landlord, from the devil"
From the man who taxes letters
With a stamp of Uncle Samuel
Uncle Sam the rowdies call him;
From them all there comes message
Message kind but fifty spoken,
'Please TO pay the bill you owe u.s."
Sad it is TO hear the message,
When our funds are all exhausted,
When the last greenback has left ms,
When the nickels all have vanished;
Gone TO pay the paper maker,
Gone TO pay the toiling printer,
Gone to pay the landlords tribute,
Gone TO pay the clerk and devil,
Gone to pay the faithful mailer,
Gone TO pay old Uucle Samuel
Uncle Sam the rowdies call him
Gone TO pay for beef and Bridget,
Gone to pay off faithful parson.
Sad it il TO turn our ledger,
Turn the leaves of this old ledger,
Turn and see what sums are due US,
Due from volumes long since ended,
Due for years of pleasant reading,
Due for years of anxious labor
Due despite our patient waiting,
Due despite our constant dunning,
Due in sums from two to forty.
Would you lift the burden from us
Would you drive spectre from you!
Would You taste pleasant slumber
Would you have quiet concience!
Would you read paper paid for!
Send us money-send us money,
Send us money-send us money,
SEND THE MONEY THAT you OWE Us.

Nothing undermines ones faith
in a mans liberality to the church
so much as to see him stick his
hands down deep into his pockets
as the contribution box is travelling
his way, look astonished, and then
remark to his next neighbor, "I've
got on my other pants"
Alpena weekly argus. [volume] (Alpena, Mich.) 1871-1893, 1877-09-05

If you lounge down in a rocking
chair and tilt back across the toes
Of q man in a neat fitting boot,
don't ask him if he is hurt or say
anything else calculated to make
him speak, but just let him stand
up and smile for a few moments till
his voice gets under control. So
ciety is used to the ghastly smile
Of a man with tight boots, and
doesn't mind it, but the quavering
tones Of an anguish-stricken voice
are almost always calculated to
cast gloom over the entire COM
munity.
