H. W. McKoon, who was a gallant
Union soldier, has been postmaster at
Long Eddy, Delaware county, N. Y, for
several years. A few weeks ago he re-
ccived circular from the Republican ma.
tional committee asking him to contribute
percentage of his meagre salary to the
bribery and corruption fund of that party.
He did not respond. Soon afterward he
received more pressing call for funds
from the same source. Mr.. McKoon had
made up his mind TO vote for Hancock.
He refused to contribute to the Republi-
can campaign fund. A few days ago he

to the effect that Mr.. Hayes and family

SEPTEMBER had an eccentric ending. In
terchanging cloud and sunshine, scattered
raindrops and few tiny snowflakes, COM
prised its meteorological freaks. There
was also wind enough to shake down some

ROAD LOCOMOTIVES FOR THE WEST.
There was recently brought to this
country from England number of road
locomotives, consigned to Wadsworth,
Nevada, where they will be employed in
the transportation of minerals and gen
eral merchandise. These steam road
wagons were manufactured in Rochester,
England, and are quite extensively used
in heavy freight work in various paris OF
Europe, and especially in connection
with army transportation. They are i'm
ported by the Nevada Steam Transpcrta-
ton Company, and intended to be ope-
rated in different parts of that State,
connecting outlying mining districts with
railroad stations. These steam wagons
weigh about seven tons each, and are
rated at from twelve to fourteen horse
power. They are fitted to use any kind
of fuel, and in case of need the road
wheels can be replaced with hange wheels
for running on rails. They also have
winding drums attached to the driving
axle capable of holding one hundred
yards of coiled rope, for hauling loads up
steep hills. These road engines, with an
engineer and two laborers, can haul from
10 to ~ tons of paying loads on any good
road not sleeper than grade of l to II,
and make an average speed of 81 miles
an hour. A sixteen-mule team, with a
wagon carrying from to 10 tons, can
not make an average of more than two
miles an hour. The locomotive aud its
train of wagons does not cost much more
than the mule team, and it can haul
freight for from 5 to 10 cents per ton pei
mile, which is about one-fourth as much
as tue hauling by mule team costs.

TRUsr.-A good woman was visiting
among the poor in London one cold win
ter's day. She was trying to open the
door of third story room, in wretch
ed-looking home, when she heard a
little voice inside say, "Pull the string
up high-pull the string up high"
She looked up and saw a string she
pulled it, when it lifted the latch, and the
door opened into room where she found
two half naked children, all alone.
They looked cold and hungry.
"Do you take care of yourselves, lit
tie ones 2" said the good woman.
"No ma'am, God takes care of us"
replied the elder Of the children.
"You have no fire on this cold day.
Are you not very cold ?"
ooh! when we are very cold re
creep under the quilt, and I put my
arms around Tommy and he puts his
arms around me, and We say, Now I
lay me- and then we get warm" said
the little girl.
"And what do you have to eat, pray?"
asked the visitor.
When granny comes home she
brings us something. Granny says we are
Gods sparrows, and he has enough for
us; and so we say, "Our Father" and
"daily Bread" every day. God is our
Father"
Tears came into the eyes of this good
woman. She had sometimes felt afraid
that she might be starved; but these
two little "sparrows," perched alone in
that cold upper room, taught her q
sweet lesson of trust in the power of God,
which she felt she could not soon for
ret
