If the hero of the anecdote below is the man we imagine him to be. we've got right'he in our midst, in this much post office-burg a man who ought to be con- graduated on having the keenness to once get the best of railroad company. We copy from the Worcester Spy, which states that the chief actor is supposed to be E. E. Hawley, formerly of Springfield, Mass:
 The industry of railroading has devel- oped some thrifty characters, among whom former employee of the N. r., N. H. and Hartford road deserves high rank. He was at one time at work in the Spring field depot, and while taking trunk out of a baggage car from Boston he was thrown over and hurt, the baggage smash Ing art being for the time reversed. The injured employee suffered terribly and crawled around on crutches until the Boston & Albany and New Haven roads united and gave him '$6 ,000. He was cur ed the next day. Shortly afterward . man on the Boston & Albany was killed and the company gave his widow $3,O0O. The former cripple, who had scored $6,- | 900 already, soon marrled her and thus counted $9, ,O00. He recovered his health so completely that he was able to work again on the railroad, but finally, not be- l ing hurt again within reasonable time he retired to farm which he bought with the proceeds of his former calamlties. = l Wi7lsted Press. aa Ezs55 ..agf Bg-@ 8ts

I. D. e = A
Senator Conkling is reported by q
Utica correspon Of the SUN to
entertain the settled conviction that
Tilden was elected President as fair
iy as aFy man was ever elected:
that the pretense that Hayescarried,
either Florida or Louisiana is a
humbug; and, also, that the civil
service policy of this fraudulent oc-
cupant of the White House is as
much of fraud as the decision of
the Electoral Commission. Not
withstanding all this the Senator
thinks Hayes title is good because.
If based on fraud In Louisiana and
Florida, those frauds were sustain.
ed by law. He thinks, too, that
Ohio will repudiate Hayes by 10000
majority; that Pennsylvania will do
the same by 10000, and that New
York will follow with a much larger
majority. On the whole We think
the New York Senator's head Is very
nearly level.-LeuiSburg Journal.
And we think nothingof the kind.
Ex-senator ConkliDg really thinks
"that Tilden was elected President
as fairly as any man was ever elect
ed" why did he not say SO in his
place in the Senate, at the proper
timewhen nation anxiously waited
for him to speak. II he had any de-
sire to save his country from the
burning disgrace of having a man
in its chief executive chair who was
so emphatically 3defeated) as was
Ruddy Hayes, he had the opportuni-
ty, above all others to prevent the
black fraud from being consumma-
ted, but he lodged the great ques-
tion and hid himself into sideroom.
just when the eyes of the whole peo-
pie were turned to him in the fond
hope that he would espo nse the
cause-not of Tilden-but of Justice
and truth.
Some men have greatness thrust
upon them, but ward it off by their
own cowardly conduct. This was
exactly what Senator Conkling did
and it matters very little now what
his "settled convictions are. The
Z settled convictions of the people are
