Of the approaching train.

| "a pho oPphoachAuS hdtHs
On, on, dashes the mighty iron-horse
nearer and nearer 1t comes. Oh, If he can
only warn. them while there is yet time to
stop the train If only he can get far enough
off to save the train from rushing headlong
into that horrible grave
Around the mountain side, on the curving
track, the train speeds along. The CLEAN OF
its lights is now shed upon the valley, and
the boy knows that the supreme moment is
at hand.
On thunders the engine, and the track
trembles beneath the heavy burden. Sud-
denly, around a sharp bend hundred feet
away, full on his sight bursts the blazing
headlight of the engine.
Ceasing from his labor, Carl Springel braces
himself with one hand, and grasping the red
lantern in the other, swings it wildly above
his head
The bridge is down The bridge is
down he cries with all his power. The
bridge is down The bridge is do"
The engineer has seen him, but cannot save
him. With dull thud the engine clears the
obstruction from the track and dashes along
but slower and slower now.
The hand-car and the boy are hurled fifty
feet through the air, and when the boy is
found his body is crushed, mangled and life
less. But the train is saved. Trembling,
gasping, staggering, the engine halts-halts
not dozen yards from the mouth of the
yawning chasm-and all on board are saved.
Saved by the unparalleled heroism of this
crippled boy who has given up his life that
they may live.
Two years ago. in quiet village cemetery
in the south of Germany, saw the grave in
which he sleeps. Upon modest tombstone
at its head, erected by the gratitude of those
whose lives he had preserved, is this in
scription
"CARL sPRINGEL.
AGED IA.
He died the death of hero and martyr and saved
| two hundred lives"
A hero and martyr he was indeed, and some
time yet bards and poets will sing the story
of this brave young peasant boy of Germany
Golden Days.

All excess is III but drunkenness is of the
worst sort. 1t spoils health, dismounts the

quarrelsome, lascivious, impudent, dangerous

unorr,ble sequel of Brothers, Quarrel

tFrom the Huntsville (Ala.) Indspsndentl
 One of the most sickening affairs, if, in deed, it is not the most horrible which it has been our duty to chronicle, happened last Saturday on the premises of MT. Solon Kel- ley, about eight miles from Huntsville. There was hog killing in progress, and two colored men, Robert and Dennis Patrick, brothers, got into dispute about each others share in the years crop. A long kettle filled with wa ter was near by. The water in the kettle had been heated to such degree that they were waiting for it to cool little in order to scald hogs in it. The water was so hot that they were afraid it would t'set' the hair of the hogs. This was the high temperature of the water when the brothers began to quarrel. Dennis, who was the oldest, told Robert that he would put him into the kettle if he didn't shut up, and Robert, the preacher brother, told Dennis that if he put him in that water, Robert and pressed him backward in the direction of the kettle. He pressed him, both of them having their arms looked meanwhile, until they both went headlong into the kettle of seething watert Their piteous. awful screams and moans soon attracted others to the place, who finally extricated them from the white hot cauldron. They retained their senses when first taken out, and their intense agonies were simply beyond description. and when these were taken from their limbs great flakes of boiled flesh went with them, leaving their bones exposed. Their boards fell out and their hair dropped from their heads. They had literally been cooked aliyei The sight was such that those who witnessed 1t were well nigh paralyzed with horror. All possible measures of relief were tried during the night, but Rob ert died next day and Dennis died o4 Monday.

 Many stoiies have been told of the smart speeches of little children, but the following from little Woodstock miss carries off the palm: She had long desired a little sister for 8 playmate, and having been taught to ask God for everything, she asked Him for little sister, telling her mother she would do the praying if she would make the clothes. After praying several nights and getting little im- patient that her request was not granted, she said one night ''Oh Lord please send me little sister, right away. If you haven't got white one, send me black one." This same little girl was corrected by her mother, the other day, for being naughty. "Well, I can't help it." she said; "when you prayed for me, why didn't you pray for 8 perfect child ?"- Norwich Bulletin.

dom. what IT the press Snoulo DC equaIly free in attacking MT. Jones?
 A man who would help steal Legislature might not in all cases steal money, but his participation in political swindle would not add to his fitness to do service as 8 bank di- rector. So seem to think the stockholders of the First National Bank of Skowhegan, Maine. The treatment which they applied to MT. Philbrick will probably be effective in making him realize his crime, and we hope to see others of the oonspirators similarly re- buked by those whom they have robbed of their rights.
 Of all the strikes that have taken place lately that at Newstraitsville, Ohio, is the most curious. Mine operators there do not like single men because the wages paid them do not return as rapidly and surely to their 0he operatorsO treasury through the general store and check system as do the wages paid men who have families. Consequently they discharged forty single men, and a strike to have them taken back followed. If the op- orators are victorious men with small families and those who show any disposition to save may expect to go next.
 The call for petitions and memorials in the Senate Wednesday revealed tremendous on- slaught by the woman-suffragists who ask for an amendment to the Constitution which shall read ns follows: ''The righ. of suffrage in the United States shall be based on citizen- ship, and shall be regulated by Congress, and all citizens of the United States, native and naturalized, shall enjoy this right equally, without any diFtinction founded on sex" Mr. Thurman presented no less than thirteen pe- titions for such an amendment, and nearly every other Senator presented several of them. Alarge number of similar petitions were also introduced in the House
 Some recent occurrences have shown the necessity of having things stmore than safe' on board steamships and ferry boats. By a peculiar combination of circumstances, the sudden breaking of bell wire on board the steamer Lancaster in Boston harbor the other day came very near resulting in Terrible disas- ter to @ passenger train on the New York and New England railroad. When the wire broke the engineer failed to receive the signal to stop, and the steauer ran into railroad bridge and bent the tracks upon it about eighteen inches from their original position. The watchful engineer of an approaching train discovered the disconnected rails and succeed ed in stopping his train about fifteen feet from the bridge. Had the engineer not been so at- tentive to his duty there would have been a dreadful s'aceident." Bell wires on steam ships will probably be looked after, for 8 while at least.
