said to have been hard drinker and a
iicentiate; and his wife, who was an esti.
mable lady, bore with him till she could
endure NO longer, and decided to apply
for divorce. As soon as Richmond re.

stated.
Richmond was we'll known in railroad
circles here, having run train in and out
Of Austin for sometime, himself and wife
boarding at G.aha1n's. In 1873 he was
night yard master for two months, but
was discharged for leaving his work one
night in green hands while he attended a
dance. The railroad men called him a
''good boy" but said he was always hav-
ing bad luck. He was not regarded as
drinking man while here.
: Two weeks ago last Sunday Mrs.
Richmond stopped over Sunday in this
city, being the guest of Brakeman Henry
Hull and wife. She was on her way to
Minneapolis from GAINESVILLE, Wis, where
she had been visiting. In a conversation
with Parker Goodwin, At the depot, she
spoke of the misfortunes of "Charley."
Whileso many Of the railroad boys seemed
to be doing 80 well, he was on the down
grade. She said nothing, however, about
her intention to secure q divorce.
It il horrible murder, and very sad
to think Of The man was either crazy,
or desperate, heartless, cowardly brute.

What is the road to Sunderland,
And when does the baby go?
Tie road lies straight through mother's arms
When the sun is sinking low,
He goes by the drowsy g land OF Nod
To music Of "lullaby,"
When all wee lambs are safe in the fold,
Under the evening sky.
A soft little night-gown clean and white,
A face wished sweet and fair;
A mother brushing the tangles out
From the silken, golden hair;
Two little tired, stainy feet,
From the shoe and the stocking free,
Two little palms together clasped
At the mothers patient knee
Some baby words that are drowsily Hoped
In the tender Shepherds ear,
And kiss that only mother can place
On the brow of her baby dear;
little round head which nesues at last
Close TO the mothers breast,
And then the lullaby, soft and low,
Singing the song of rest.
And close and closer the blue-veined lids
Arc hiding the baby eyes,
As over the road TO Sunderland
The dear little traveller h!es;
For this the way, through mothers arms,
All d.4,r little babies go
For the beautiful city Of Sunderland
When the gun is sinking low

One day we sat together, Ruth and /,

that belief. Mary, when you see Ruth
Earle tell her this, and tell her, too, that
long, long since l have discovered that
she was my only love-that in throwing
away her pure womanly affection l lost
the richest jewel in my life"
The words were uttered softly, but
Ruth's ear had caught them; she stood
in the shadow, where he could not see
her, and listened.
"Through all my fever 1 have thought
of her," he Went on, "and at times l
have thought she stood beside me. Then
l would strive to ask her forgiveness, but
the sweet vision always faded, and

Oh! the mute appeal Of those clasped
hands and streaming eyes on the other
side of the couch. knew their meaning,

Charley, know that Ruth has forgiven

Forgive me! yes; for she is an angel.

both arms toward him, as a mother
might seek to clasp once more her lost
child; and still something held her
back from the bosom where she longed
to nestle.
Again he spoke, and this time he ut
tered her name" Ruth, Ruth, Ruth"
but hot tears were in his eyes, and they
broke the spell which kept her from
him. The coarse cap lay on the ground,
the golden hair fell over her white fore
head in heavy glittering masses, and
with low, tremulous cry she cast her
arms about him, pillowed his thin cheek
on her BOSOM and gave back to Charley
Campbell the quiet heart he had so well
deserved to love forever.
He has it still, and it is very dear to
him, so dear that | believe no words

The Monroe Doctrine.
From the Burlington B.xteve

Bidwell L. Stevens writes from North
Vernon, Indiana. "What is the Mon.
roe doctrine?" The Monroe doctrine
Bidwell, simply and explicitly declares
that nc foreign nation shall come over
here and slide down our cellar door: that
England and France shall not hang on
our front gate to do I'll cir counting: that
they can't bring over their own syrup
pots and elder trees and make sugar in
our maple groves; that Germany and
Austria can't spot no bee tree in our
woods; that Italy can't cut her firewood
out of our hedgerows; that Russia can't
spank her neighbours children with our
butter paddle. The Monroe doctrine
simply means that we are the bull of the
woods between the two oceans, and that
the man who joins farms with us on
either side had better not move the
boundary fence until he talks to us
about it, and that he can't sub let patch
of his farm to anybody until we are
satisfied that the new tenant will make a
good neighbor for us. That's all there
is about it.

MORRIS SMITH, a woodchopper, struck
for higher wages. He was alone in .

to give Norman the choice between an

Maine Central Railroad.

The annual meeting of the Maine Central
Railroad will be held at Granite Hall to-day.
From the report of the Directors just
published, we copy the following in relation
to the condition and business of the road:
The generally improved condition Of bust
ness in this State, is shown in our traffic re-
turns. Our freight earnings indicated a
small increase early in the spring of 1879.
and they continued to improve throughout
the year. Our passenger earnings were less
than the preceding year, until September.
when that portion of our traffic showed signs
| of improvement and this continued during
the remaining months.
Our gross traffic earnings were So, $50. 90
in excess of those for 1873, and our net traffic
earnings S44.4l4.62 more than those for that
year.
Our trains have been run with regulari-
tv. and without serious accident, and no
passenger has received any injury. Exten-
sive repairs and improvements have been
made at several of our stations, and they are
now in such generally good condition that
We do not anticipate any occasion for large
expenditures in that department for the COM

The heavy freshets of the fall of 1873 did

that reason, our expenditures in that depart

may be able to construct q double track to

vexatious delays now incident to crossing so
