joe Was rs suddenly jerked hall
around, his back striking the little
door in front of where he had stood,
breaking door and shivering the glass
to atoms. But we were through; how
we couldn't tell, except that we were
still on the trek and laundering over
the gorge. Joe's spirits rose with the
occasion. Extrieating himself al
most as suddenly as he had been de.
! posted in the little glass door, be jerk.
ed tin flask from bis pocket, sprung
on top OF the tender aRd from thence
to the roof of the cab. Steadying him
self for moment, with his face toward
the 'graybacks,' he shouted, goodbye,
made them low bow. and took q
drink, perfectly regardless OF the white
puffs of smoke, as one after another
discharged their pieces at him, as be
afterwards explained, t'the engine
made too much noise for him to hear
the bullets, and they didn't seem to be
hitting anybody"
After having, in spite OF sore bones,
performed Jig. phieh he extempori.
zed for that occasion for the express
, edification of the rebs, Joe descended
from his perch and deliberately shut
ting OF steam, stopped.
We were still In sight of them, tho
at tOlerable safe distance, and now
saw a group OF them standing near
several men who had been wounded,
perhaps some killed, by that 'irrepres-
sible' stick Of wood.
Our damages were few bruises each,
but no serious hurts. Our engine suf-
fered the loss of the cowcsteher and
headlight, the front of the smoke
box was stove in, BESIDES sundry dents
and bruises on the brass castings of the
cylinders, but for running purposes
absolutely uninjured; the rebels hav-
ling piled the logs squarely scross the
top OF the track, the cowcatcher had
gone under them and, though broken
by the shock, had raised them sufi-
GENTLY to keep them from under the
wheels, while the engine dashed them
right and left into the gorge.
The rebels, seeing US stop, started in
pursuit, but as we found nothing seri'

ment to the view," we were off again

Poor Joe, after having been fred at so
often as to have acquired q sovereign
contempt for rebel bullets, was shot
and killed In 1865, while running a
Government engine near Chattanooga.

Mr.. TILDEs's testimony yesterday was very
emphatic to the effect that be knew nothing
of the cipher kilograms. or anything in them.
He said his habits of mind and
those of his nephew, Colonel Pelton,
we're very different, AID that Pelton
was the last man he would have trusted. 1t
was the opinion of Mr.. Tilden that be had
been elected President of the United States,
and he would have scorned to purchase stolen
goods. We do not care to be hard upon Mr..
Tilden in this connection, but he must notice,
as an old lawyer and logician, the harmony of
policy between the Oregon and Florida tele
grams looking TO the purchase Of Electoral
votes; and we can not fail to recognize that
this was was not inconsistent with the use of
money sent from Mr.. Tilden's bank in New
York to this city to have an influence upon
the October election, in 1875. Beyond that,
it is fair to say that the methods of Mr.. I'll
den's managers through the campaign would
imply complete willingness to negotiate with
Returning Boards after the election; that it
would have been crooked to pour out money
and use shotguns up to election day and fail
to employ pecuniary inducements afterward.

New York SUM-


PHInADELPHIA, Feb. 12.-This city mourns
ihe loss of its only remaining Chimpanzee,
who has not been himself since the death of
bis wife, several weeks ago. These interest
ing Africans emigrated to this country some
eighteen months since, and settled in Phila-
delphia, where they soon became very popu
lar and greatly endeared themselves to all
who knew them. A meeting of the princi-
pal officials of the Geological Society of Phil :
ad.lphia was held at the Geological Garden in
thai city, to take appropriate action with re-
gard to the affiiction which has overtaken
them. The attendance was very large. Mr..
George Washington Childs, A. NJ, was ap-
pointed committee of one to draft in verse
suitable resolutions Of respect to the memory
of the departed, which verses were afterward
presented to the meeting and adoped unani-
pmously. These verses, in the happiest style
of the great obituary bard, bore testimony to
the honesty, ability, high purpose and many
virtues of the deceased IL was pointed out
that he never acted as President or trustee Of

\ LETTER FROM KANSAS.
Toppvo KAN,

/ y II. u g.. .-E- ~ lOPkhO, AANaAS.-
EDIToR CHRoNIcLE-Having a little spare
time, and thinking perhaps your readers
would be little interested in q brief notice of
this, the capital city the great State of Kan
sas, have concluded to drop you few lines.
Topeka is centrally located in the State, on
the Kansas River and the Kan. Pacific and A.
T. g. S. F. Railroad. She is quite preten-
tious, and contains population Of 10,OOO In
habitants, and new settlers coming in every
day. Topeka strikes a stranger very favora-
bly, for enterprise and thrift, and her broad
streets and avenues are the pride of all the
Stale Aside from the State buildings, the
Improvements are good, considering the age
of the State. The Capitol building is not yet
completed, but it is hoped an appropriation
will be made by the Legislature to complete
it during the next year. The foundation has
been laid for the new q. s. Court House and
| Postofice, which, when compl, ted will be a
splendid building. Numerous foundries and
machine shops, furn' sh employment to great
many persons. The country around is good,
well kept and cultivated farms are now seen,
that few years ago was unbroken prairie.
Quite number of former residents of Bel
mont county have scattered over Shawnee's
beautiful prairies. Among them we find
Messrs w. Stewart, w. Paul, ]. Ward, NJ.
Sidwell, and w. Smith, of the south side,
and Mr.. o. Kinsey and l. Wilkin,on, of tie
north. All are well pleased with Kansas,
and think ''there is no place like home"
LeaviI g Topeka,a pleasant ride of one hour
over the Kan. Pacific found me at the pleas
ant prosperous town of Silver Lake, where,
during my stay, enjoyed the kind hospitali-
ty of Mr.. Oliver Kinsey and family. Mr.. &,
besides being successful farmer, deals out
lumber to those wishing to improve the beau
tiful valley. Remaining in the village over
Sabbath, and being accustomed to attend
church, we started out to look up one Go
ing up the street we came to beautiful little
stone church, and was told it belonged to the
Baptists, but not being of the ''hardshell"
persuasion, we turned our steps southwark,
where we discovered neat frame just COM
pleted. On entering we found it to be the
NJ. E. Church, which had capacity OF seat
ing near 500 persons. Almost every seat was
occupied. The sermon by Rev. J.E. Gilbert,
of Topeka, was good, and the singing reflect
ed great credit on the choir. The Presbyte-
rians are erecting nice stone church that will
soon be completed. After a very pleasant
visit we retraced our steps homeward, well
satisfied that Shawnee is the banner county,
where good land can yet tie purchased from
| $40 to $500 per acre. All that is needed is
Stout men and plenty Of money to make good
homes. -. Respectfully,
