social and financial positions for tempting their

a law requiring all ~epgineers-of railroad
trains to sound the whistle at-the dis
lance of eighty rods befcre- reaching
every highway crossing, and to keep
the thing going until the crossing was
passed. The law went into effect on
the LIST instant, and the throttles were
opened OF course, the Law was in
tended as a move against the railroad
corporations, and as am aid in some

but the prospect is that the ~infernaI

screams of their own engines, and

To be agood editor a useful editor,
It may not perhaps be necessary that a

cere man; having some knowledge Of

and which he is from time to time cali
ed upon to s%ubstantiate and defend.
Whether he be or be not a partisan, is
a matter Of preference. Being a par

He quite forgets that Mr.. Blaine offer

between the ceiling and a cornice, and
in this space, upon the cornice and
against the wall, a little brown bird
had built its nest and Matched out a
brood Of four young ones, whose little
beads, ranged along in a semi-circle at
the edge Of the nest, were Visible to the
visitors. The entrance to the mauso-
leum Ia chamber OF solid masonry con

early in the spring the little bird, in
quest Of a safe place for It's habitation,
entered that sacred place through the
bars, and built its nest right over the
