". D. GIBBs, ESQ.,, TiIden elector
from the 4th District, has recently re-
turned from Washington where he had
been summoned as a witness before the
Senatorial Committee, and gives the
following INSIDE view Of the influences
that brought about the arbitration plan
Yazoo Democrat
He believes. from what he saw and heard,
that if the leaders of our party had manful-
~ stood up for their rights from first to
last, demanding nothing but their rights
and cOnceding nothing that is wrong or I'M
manly, That the Radical buffers would have
backed down and not haVe attem pied to
count in or inaugurate their man. To use
his own words "it has been a game of bluff
by the Radical party. and they have made
the Democratic leaders in control believe
that it was war or Hayes, and the Northern
Democracy have preferred 10 tenn porize,
compromise and even sell out, rather than
resort to blows to maintain the rights and
the Constitution"

THE $500 CAsE.-The absence of the
principal witness i4 the $500 bribery
case, during the entire session of the
Legislature with the exception of the first
two or three days, will account in part,
fog the failure of the Senate to institute
an investigation. The witness Or

moned to Washington to appear before

that the game Of stirring up the filth
would not be worth the candle, mas
much as the whole set had been dis
missed from public service indefinitely.

Jack Sovau, engineer on the Hum.
Division of the railroad brought down
from Deeth yesterday two cock robins
which were caught in that snowy region
two months ago. They are quite tame.
and will eat bread or meat out of the
hand. The supposition is that they
remained little too late last fall,
before taking their departure for a
warmer climate and were bewildsred in
the snowy regions of Deeth, They are
lively as crickets and are permitted to
run at large at the Champion Saloon,
where they ara now provided for.

prairiei Another halt was made and
the tie found. It was split from end
to end and broken into three pieces.
Again starting homeward, Mr..
Stevens observed that the new light
would smash things to atoms by reason
Uf human agency being powerless to
control 1t. "Mr. Stevens, can pick
baby up from the track, when running
forty miles an hour and, by gradually
reducing the light, deposit it unframed
on the pilot" was Sovau's character
istic answer. Just then the engine,
though averaging about 20 miles an
hour, checked up quite suddenly, and

LARGE, TEXAS STEER
Elevated four feet ab,ve earth, forty
yards ahead, kicking and believing for
dear life. Carrying the scared brute
in that way for short distance, the
exultant genius remarked: I'm show
you. now, how easily this thing can be
managed" First casting the light side
ways, then downward, Sovan, in less
than one minutes time, set the animal
on its feet upon terra frma, several
yards from the track. and it scampered
off. unhurt, but somewhat "stam-
peded." Arriving in the yard, the
party turned switch wrong and locked
it in that position. Backing off for a
distance of 800 yards, Sovan turned
the light up to full head and gave the
engine all the steam he dared. The
very instant the electric current struck
the switch the rails flew in the desired
direction, despite the usually potent
switch-lever, and the pony" dashed
on to side-track, at a speed of 20
miles per hour. not over fifty feet
BEHIND cABoosE,
In which two brakemen were peace
fully sleeping! Under ordinary cir
cumstances, collision would have
been inevitable, but as the electricity
came in contact with the end of the
car it sent that vehicle booming down
the track and stopped the engine SO
quick that Sovan was shot out through
one of the cab-windows like rocket and
left full-length impression of his
corpulent body in pile of soft mud.
Messrs, Corning and Steve left for
Ogden, this morning, having first as
snred Mr.. Sovan that they would use
every effort to secure the speedy adop-
ton of his valuable invention by the
Central Pacific company.
Sovan has already fled caveat for
his Electro Magnetic Head Light" in
Washington. and contemplates retiring
from the "foot-board' shortly, to en-
Joy the handsome competency which
his meritorious invention will undoubt-
eddy bring him.

TOUCHING INCIDENT.
In the Life of a Reporter.

In the Lie Oh "a hepOEteE'
Cincinnati Times.
fAsone of the Tines representatives
was strolling along third street, this
morning, he noticed sitting on the steps
of a saloon a gray haired man, whose
tile showed marks of years OF service
and whose broadcloth clothes were snlny
aud naples. The general appearance OF
the man was that Of one who had seen
better dave, for there was something IN
his manner that betokened refined ana
sensible nature. He seemed plunged In
the deepest melancholy, and the ssd,
hopeless look on his face indicated that
he was weary of life, and would with
slight provocstion rid himself OF 1t. Our
reporter, thinking that he wasiponderlng
over the subject Of suicide, approached
him in order to get an ante-mOrtenl state
mont that would be OF use to the jurors
who would act at the post norton. "Beg
YOUR pardon for speaking without an In
PRODUCTION, but can render you any as
sistsnce?' TIE old man looked up with
a sad smile and replied: "No, am past
the need of help. l was once IN very
different circumstances from my present

street and was then worth my hundreds
of thousands, but sickness, death and bus
mess reverses came, my family was taken

without friends, ana with no desire but
to get drink. A devIlsh thirst Is Utterly
consuming me, and l can not get the
substance to satisfy it. l have one brute
friend left, that has never torsaken me.
Here, Siezar!' In response to his call a
noble looking Newfoundland dog came
slowly walking toward bin. "Seizer,
bow to the gentleman" and the dog
bowed his head and lifted his right paw
as il to shake hands.
The old man continued: "He is the
only relic of the good old days that Is
left to me. He was the playmate CT lit
tie Edna and the protector OF my beau
tItul wife, both of whom are now at rest,
thank Heaven. He has staid by me
through all my universities, sometimes
going for days without food, but never
once leaving me. May time, when l
have laid out all night in the fields drunk
has that dog nestled by my side, and
with his great shaggy coat kept me from
freezing to desth. When in my right
mind nothing would tempt me to part
with him, but when this awful thirst had
possession OF me would sell him for a
drink" Convulsively clasping the re-
porter's hand he Kissed out, 81 must have
drink or l shall die. Give me a dime
and take my last friend, the dog" The
reporter replied, IF he has saved your
life, and you love him as you state, how
can you sacrsfce him in this way"
Drawing himself to his full height,
and majestically waving his hand, the
old man exclaimed: 1T is not that l
love SeIzer less, but that l love Rum
more.
Hastily him giving dime, and leaving
the dog, our reporter passed on, while the
old man wiped tears of gratitude from
his eyes, and tottered down stairs.
