COURAGEOUS ENGINEER.
SAVING the Life Of n Little Girl While
Going Forty Miles an Hour.

While the Erie lightning express train was
sweeping down the valley Of the Delaware a
mile below Cochecton on Wednesday after
noon the engineer saw a little girl walking the
track He was just rounding curve. The
locomotive shrieked, but within two seconds
the child was overtaken and the train passed
the spot where she had stood: The engineer
looked behind the rear car expecting to see
her mangled body. But the track was clear.
He stepped upon the guards Of the locomo-
tive and saw the child plastered against the
cowcatcher. She was senseless. He ap-
preached her with great care, and succeeded
in reaching her as she was about to roll to the
ground.
The train was stopped and backed up to
the residence Of the girls parents They
were poor people living in shanty on the
line OF the road. The girl was about eleven
years old. She was slightly cut about the
face, but escaped without further injury. The
passengers were delayed two minutes. When
they left the child was smiling in the lap OF
her mother.

GOV. NICHOLS.
[Pointe Coupee Pelican. ]

We regret to see the fault that many Of our
friends OF the press find with Gov Nichols
and his administration. There is no more
conscientious man-no more, disinterested
and self-Sacriftcing man-nO truer man to
principle and professions, than the one who Is
now the Governor OF Louisiana
When he was inaugurated Chief Executive
Of our State, on the same day S. B. Packard
by United States soldiers. BY tact, address,
forbearance, Cancellation, firmness, determ-
nation and patriotic effort. he succeeded in
having his government recognized as the de
Legislature merged itaeIf into the Nichols
Legislature, and thus local self-government
became re-established in Louisiana. The
great majority Of Gov Nichols appoint
ments give universal satisfaction. OF course
he has made few bad selections, which was
to be expected. for In most instances he must
depend on the representations of others.
When canvassing for his Office we all know
that part OF the policy OF the Democratic
Els he edeed himsef esoted G to prtect
that class In all the rights guaranteed to
them by the laws OF the land; to see that
strict and impartial justice was dealt out to
them. He has faithfully carried out this
late the sacred promises that secured his
election? He pledged himself to retrench in
public expenditures. Has he been true to this
pledge? Yes. The first year of the Nichols

any Republican year since the war. He does
not intend to stop with this reduction of $780,
900, but shall continue the good work until the
cost of maintaining the State governm ent
shall be brought to the lowest Republican
81 standpoint.
He Is a working Governor. Beside all the
ordinary and extraordinary duties that de-
volve upon the executive, he has manifold
labors to execute. He serves as member of
the Funding Board, also of the Printing
Board, Of the Board Of Public Education, as
a trustee of the Charity Hospital, and also OF
the directors to organize State Agricultural
College and State University. The laws i'm
pose number of other duties upon him, all
of which he discharges with promptness and
fidelity.
Gen. Francis T. Nichols proved his patri-
otto gallantry in every battlefield in Virginia
His mutilated body bears evidence of this.
In the executive chair he has proved equally
honest and faithful. He was surrounded by
difficulties no other executive had to encoun-
ter, and by patient and extraordinary ad-
dress he has triumphed over all embarrass-
ments; and when the time comes for him to
turn over to his duly elected successor the
power which he now yields, he will do 50
with a conscientiousness of having performed
his full duty, and with a reputation as CIV
ilian as bright as the glory which clusters
around his military services.

The Easiest way TO Drown.
Popular Science MONTHLY

QOUuIdI ocIoIIoo u1oHtnIs:1
If death by drowning be inevitable, as In a
shipwreck, the easiest way to die would be
to suck water into the lungs by powerful
inspiration as soon as one went beneath the
surface. A person who had the courage to do
this would probably become almost immedi-
ately unconscious and never rise to the sur
face. As soon as the fluid filled his lungs all
feelings of chilliness and pain would cease,
panies anesthesia would come on, with ring
ing in the ears and delightful visions of color
and light, while he would seem to himself to
be gently sinking to rest ON the softest Of
beds and with the most delightful OF dreams.

70 rHE CITIZENS OF NEW ORLEANS.

with view to secure to the people Of this
city the exclusive and permanent control
and direction OF the New Orleans Pacific
Railway, so that 1t shall not pass into alien
hands, or be controlled to the detriment OF
the trade and commerce of this place, or to
the injury OF our agricultural interests, or to
prevent or delay the speedy development OF
Louisiana by discouraging immigration, but
used to strengthen and uphold the credit oil
State and city by making their bonded debts
secure and reliable beyond possibility OF
failure, and to popularize the enterprise still
more with the mass OF our fellow-cltlzens by
offering eligible inducements to them to SUBJ
scribe for the stock OF the company, the
direction now address you. To float success
fully the five millions of first mortgage bonds
to be issued by the company for the con-
struetion and equipment OF the road
the direction deem two proceedings pre-
cedent both wise and necessary. First, to fix
the total amount Of stock to be issued at one
and q half millions of dollars until the line
has been open for five years to traffic; and
second, to give by local subscriptions encour-
agement to purchasers of bonds to repose
implicit faith in their absolute safety as an
investment. The first has been done, and the
second the people are now invited to favor and
complete, as follows:
The stock of the company Is now offered to
subscribers on the following terms, to wit;
Five per cent in cash Of amount of subscrip-
ton at time Of subscribing, and the balance In
notes payable monthly, as follows: Ten per
cent January 1, 1879; 10 per cent February |;
10 per cent March l. 10 per ceflS April |; 10
per cent May L; 10 per cent June 1; 10 per
cent July / /; 10 per cent August Il Is per cent
September 1, 1879.
This liberal plan, 1t is hoped, will meet the
approval Of every one, and on Monday. the
twenty-second instant, books OF subscription
will be opened at the office of the company.
1t Is proposed to issue stock untransferable
on the books Of the company for the amount
subscribed by each person, which will entitle
the holder to vote at all elections Of the COM
pany, but not to claim transferable stock
until his subscription has been paid in full in
cash.
The president Of the company can exercise
his discretion In accepting or rejecting sub.
scriptions
BY order of the Board of Directors.
