A TnAMp's TERRIBLE RIDE.-A tramp
who arrived here few days ago from
the West gives his experience in dead
heading it over the Union Pacific from
Cheyenne to Green River, on the Jarret
& Palmer train, by climbing upon the
roof of coach. He says that from
Cheyenne to Sherman he rather enjoyed
the ride, but that between Sherman and
Green River his experiences was one
never to be forgotten. The rapid move
ment of the train and the rocking of the
coach forced him to wind his arms and
legs around the 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 shower OF
cinders; but so rapid was the movement
Of the train that the heaviest ones merely
cut through his clothes like bullets,
while the lighter sparks passed above
him. His coat-tails tapped so hard that
he realized he must part with them; but
he dared not loosen hand to tuck them
under him, and they were soon torn off
to blow away. Although he managed to
keep mis- face behind the pipe nearly all
the time, he was frequently struck in
the face by flying cinders, 30 that when
be reached Green River his face and
neck we're badly cut and scratched. So
great was the poor aramp's fear of being
thrown off and killed that this, added to
the terrible strain Of hanging to the pipe
by main strength for 80 long distance,
and the intense suffering from the
wounds inflicted by the cinders, caused
his hair to turn gray. and when he
climbed down at Green River he looked
like man who had seen fifty instead
of twenty-five summers.-[ Cheyenne

MIXED MARRIAGES.

Mrs. Elizabeth Bladen in the Phila-
delphia Sunday Times:
A new book, called Paul Douglass,
tells the story of the proud daughter OF
wealthy Southerner going on q visit to
New England, where she falls in love
with the son OF colored slave by her
master, who is consequently illegtimate.
They get married, and sail for Europe.
If had not heard of few such cases in
rea! life, would have pronounced the
fiction entirely too imaginative, but as
few white women have married black
men, 1 want to register my sentiments
on that subject. 1t is not necessary to
the respect and toleration due to equal
rights that mixed marriages. should be
permitted. | am totally opposed to
them. If l were o young girl l would
not marry foreigner of any kind. The
question of nationality is sure to be q
subject of difference, and still more go
the habits and customs familiarized by
varying education. In fact, marriage
should be founded on sentiments of
mutual regard and esteem, which can
only result from long and intimate ac-
quaintance. The happiest marriages are
those which occur between persons who
have been brought up together.
But" says young lady by my side.
girls never do marry gentlemen. they
have been acquainted with all their
lives. The get to know too much about
them
We'll, even if they do, is it not better
to put up with some little peculiararities
that you are aware OF, rather than run
the risk OF unsupported traits cropping
out in the character of your husband,
alter your play is made?
But" continued the young lady,
"men don't usually fall in love with girls
they have known all their lives. They
want to wed stranger, that their friends
don't know anything about, so they can
pretend she is something grand"
She went on to tell me how she had
recently had an offer of marriage from a
young country preacher, which she de.
clined, saying she was already engaged
Where does hs liver" asked the
preacher.
In the city" said the young lady.
"Oh, Miss Grace" exclaimed thf
lover. you had better marry me, anc
live In the country. 1t is much better
place to bring children up in." Mist

GRANTS PROFITS AND LossEs.-A
wealthy man of New York, generally al
legged to be one of the presenters of
residence at Long Branch to General
Grant, said to me last Sunday:
"You make some inquiries about
Grants original cottage. l think you
will find that it never was the propo-'
sition OF anybody largely interested in
Long Branch to bring General Grant

origin. A subscription list was taken
around among the residents and sojourn-

one man mainly. and he not the Phila-
delphian aforesaid. There is more mat
ter for laughter than condemnation in
this subject"

good authority, got to be tolerably
bold operator on his own account in
stocks, particularly mining stocks. He
made $S, 900 one forenoon in Cincinnati,
Just before his departure for Europe,
buying a certain Nevada stock by tele-
graph through the Drexlers. A men,

"His audience sat In solemn silence while Mr..
