 Telegraph wires are not as offensive in London as they are in the large cities in this country, but some peculiar accidents which have lately happened there have stirred the people up to demand that the wires be placed under ground. One of the wires near Black friars' Bridge fell, caught omnibus pas senger by the neck, dragged him from his seat and killed him. Another falling wire in Oxford street nearly took off a cabman's head. Aside from such serious consequences, reasons why the wires should be buried in cities are plenty enough.
 Republicans in Washington are not worry ing over the alleged plan of Barnum to count General Garfield out The Washington cor respondent of the Boston AdgertiSer says: ''If the Republicans here could have their choice in the matter they would prefer to see these beaten and disgraced leaders of the northern Democracy undertake this scheme since enough has become known here since the election of the temper of the southern l wing of the party to render it certain that enough southern Representatives would re | fuse to take part in such movement to in- sure it's defeat and efectually kill off the men who engineered it. Those here who watched | the futile efforts of northern Democrats to ! rally the southern members to throw out only one electoral vote in 1876 are not giving l themselves any concern over the present proposition to throw out thirty -fve.' 1 Most of our representative religious jour- nals have taken decided position regarding the treatment of Mile. Sarah Bernhardt by
 American wealthy and cultivated society.
 The Methodist admits that she was feted and
 received by the highest circles in the society l of England, even MT. Gladstone visiting her.

A GREEK HORROR IN Russia ter
rible story reaches the Petersburg Herald
from Samara Some-few days ago the wife
of 4 skilled artisan named Schmid, Of that
town, was brought to bed of a child while
her husband, who had been confirmed
sot, and spent all his wages for many
previous weeks in liquor, was away from
his home upon drunken frolic Two days
after her confinement Schmid staggered in
about noon and began to shout, with hor-
rible threats and curses, for his dinner
There having been neither food nor money
in the house since he had last left it, the
unfortunate woman had had no nourish-
ment for herself or her babe since its birth,
and the latter had died of exhaustion but q
few minutes before its heartless father
made his appearance, intoxicated and
disappearing, in the room where son had
been born to him while he was squander-
ing his wages in drink. To Schmid's
brutal menaces his miserable wife made no
answer. SILENTLY she rose from her sordid
pallet. wan and emaciated, a mere specter
of a woman, crept across the room to the
dresser. took thence large dish which
she carried back to the bed, and placing
her baby's corpse upon the dish set it down
on the table before her husband with the
simple but awful words, "There is nothing
else to eat in the house p Schmid sat
gazing with a CLASSY stare at his dead child
for some time. Presently neighbor came
in and spoke to him, but he uttered no
word and made no sign. Upon closer ex-
animation he was found to have entirely
lost his reason, and he was conveyed to
the Ssmara Msdhouse, where he still re-
mains a hopeless lunatic. London Tele-

THRILLING ESCAPE FROM rND1Ars.

Just below Kanawha Falls, in West Vir-
glnla, writes correspondent of the Louis
vile CourierJomWai, is an overhanging
rock OF immense size jutting out about one
hundred feet over the seething whirlpool,
and about the same height above. This
was once the scene of a remarkable adven-
ture. The Indians were in hot pursuit of
Van Bibber, a settler and man Of distinc-
ton in those early times. He was hard
pressed, and all access to the river below
and above being cut off, he was driven to
this juttlng rock, which proved to be the
jumping-of place for him. He stood on
the rock, in full view of the enemy above
and below, who yelled like demons at the
certainty of his speedy capture. He stood
up boldly, and with his rifle kept them at
bay AS he stood there he looked across
the river-saw his friends-his wife with
her babe in her arms, all helpless to render
assistance. They stood as ii petrifed with
terror and amazement She cried at the
top of her voice: Leap into the river and
meet me y Laying her babe on the grass,
she seized the oars and sprang into the
skiff alone. AS she neared the middle of
the river her husband saw the Indians
coming in full force and yelling like de-
mons. "Wife, wife, he screamed, I'm
coming drop down little lower" With
this he sprang from his crag and descended
like an arrow into the water, feet foremost.
The wife rested on her oars moment to
see him rise to the surface, the little canoe
floating like a cork, bobbing about on the
boiling flood. It was an awful moment;
it seemed an age to her would he ever
rise? Her earnest gaze seemed to pene-
trate the depths of the water and she
darted her boat farther down the stream.
He rose near her in a moment the canoe
was alongside of him, and she helped him
to scramble into it amid shower of arrows
and shot that the baffied Indians poured
into them. The daring wife did not speak
a word her husband was more dead than
alive, and all depended on her strength
being maintained till they could reach the
bank. This they did, Just where she had
started, right where the babe was still
lying, Growing and laughing. The men
pulled the skiff high up on the sand, and
the wife slowly arose and helped to lift
Van Bibber to his feet. He could not
walk, but she laid him down by his babe,
and then, seating herself, she wept wildly,
just as any other woman would have done
under the circumstances. That babe is
now grandfather, and that rock is called
" Van Bibber's Rock to this day

A LOCOMOTIVE IN TEE DUMPS.

"He's been in the dumps because his
locomotive has been off for three or four
days, said a railroad man to a companion
the other day, as he pointed to an engineer.
g How off ?"
Go and ask him. "
1t took quarter of an hour and cigar
to clear the cloud from the engineers face,
and then In reply to the query he said
1t is queer thing. There's my en-
CINE, one of the best on the road, in perfect
order only twelve years old, and able to
run or pull with the best of them. A
month ago l hadn't the least bit of trouble
in making time, no matter how the track
was or the weight of the train. She was
ready at the word, held her steam beauti-
fully, and she seemed to understand every
word l said. To-day she is down in the
round-house, growing and suffering and
acting as if she wanted to pick fuss with
a gravel-pit.
Anything ont of gear?
50 Not thing. She's been looked over
twice, and we can't find the least excuse
for her conduct. She'll get over it in a
day or two, perhaps. If she don't, well
punish her. -
Howl"
Eut her before freight or stock tram.
I've seen it tried dozen times, and it most
always worked we'll Here she is now,
bright as new dollar and as handsome as
picture, and I'll bet $50 that there ism t
the least thing out of order She's simply
sulking, the same as a child or a woman,
and l know what started it. Three weeks
ago, while on my run in with the night
express, she just wanted to light out for
all she was worth. She took the bit like
a running horse, and if / hadn't choked
her off she'd have beaten schedule time by
twenty minutes. She acted mad right
away, and in running twenty miles She
gave me more trouble than / ever had with
her in a run Of three hundred. She lost
steam, tried to foam over, choked her
pipes, and when l wanted more steam she'd
slide on her drivers. She went right back
on me that night, and has been sulking
ever since"
DO all engines do this ~
Not at all, but many of them. Some
folks laugh at us and call it superstition,
but they never lived in an engine cab. ="

THE DAILY RECORD UNION.
BEYOND THE RIVER.

Time is a river, deep and wide;
And while along its bank we stray.
We see our loved ones DER Its tide
Sail from our sight away, away
Where are they sped, they who return
No more to glad our longing eyes,
They've passed from life's contracted bourne,
To land unseen, unknown, that lies
Beyond the river!
It's hid from view, but we may guess
How beautiful that realm must be;
For gleamings Of its loneliness,
In visions granted, oft we see,
The very clouds that DER it throw
Their veil unraised for mortal sight,
With gold and purple tintings glow,
Reflected from the glorious light
Beyond the riverl
And gentle airs-so sweet, so calm
Steal sometimes from that viewless sphere;
The mOurneT feels their breath OF balm,
And soothed sorrow dries the tear,
And sometimes list'ning ear may gain
Enhancing sound, that hither floats
The echo Of distant strain
Of harps and voices blended notes,
Beyond the river!
There are our loved ones in their rest;
They've crossed Times riyer-now no more
They heed the bubbles on its breast,
Nor feel the storms that sweep its shore;
But there pure love can live, can last,
They look fOI US their home TO share,
When we in turn away have passed,
What joyful greetings wait Us there,
Beyond the river
