A Caution to Railroad Companies
and to Locomotive Engineers.

A. Inere are some persons in this
thoughtless world who are so fond of
amusement that they often take no
thought OF the injury they may inflict
upon others in obtaining it. An in.
stance Of this sport with serious end
lag has just come to light in Paterson,
N. j.. where Henry Banta has team
OF gray horses that are afraid of loco
motive whistle. He charges that it is a
habit of engineers, when they see him
coming, to suddenly whistle, "just to
make the animals dance" On Wednes-
day noon last, when Mr.. Banta was OF
his guard, the alleged joke was repeat.
ed, and now Mr.. Banta lies at his home
seriously injured. His wagon is made
into kindling wood, and the value of
the horses is seriously impaired. We
are sorry to say we have noticed similar
thoughtless practical jokes by engineers
on railroads in this vicinity. The com.
panles ought to make their n.loving
engineers understand that the company
is responsible in damages in case Of in
Jury resulting from such Jokes. MIR.
Banta would have clear case under
New York law, if he could make Jury
believe las he probably could easily
do) that the engineer sounded his whis.
tic to startle his team or even if he was
careless of the danger liable to result
to Mr.. Banta from blowing the whistle.
1t would se ten thousand dollar job
for any railroad in this State, and ought

Harmony at Home.

"Our disccrdant life" is phase
| which aptly describes many families
There is an absence of harmony in the
house which makes the family not ex-
actly quarrelsome, but wanting in
union of feeling. A writer sets forth
this family discord as follows:
Mr.. Smith is such popular man, SO
much liked at his club, and has SO
many friends who would be delighted
to do anything to oblige him, but who
would be very much surprised to hear
that he can get into rage at dinner if
the joint is overdone.
Ii you stay in the house you see
this; and you also see in his wife's eyes
the tears of wounded pride at his dc
scendiug to storming at her before IA
visitor.
Then he will sit silent and gloomy at
the breakfast table because that meal
IS ten minutes later than usual.
These trihes disturb the harmony.
and cause a feeling of discomfort
throughout the entire household.
If any of my readers possess fowls,
and spend occasionally q few minutes
in watching them, they may have been
amused.
l have been, by seeing Aow the cock,
if he is of an unamiable temper, will
give vicious peck to one of the hens,
who. not daring to return it, shows her
modification by fierce dig into the
back of her next neighbor.
This one passes it on again, and so
on.
Now this is exactly what happens
among beings of q superior order.
MIR. Smith gets out of bed in the
morning, and grumbles.
His wife hears him in silence, but
woe betide the next person who comes
in her way.
1t may be daughter who has rem
dered herself liable to lecture by ly-
ing in bed after the seven O'Clock bell
rang; she is restrained by long habit
from replying angrily to her mother,
but she can and does snub her little
brother so sharply as to make him cry.
The harmony is probably gone for
the rest of the day. 1t is difficult to
say where tho fault lies.
Doubtless, if any one individual OBJ
stinately refused to be put out, smiles
would be restored; but, unfortunately,
people who wiN not be vexed are very
rare.

Lightning PrOOf-Reader.

Mr.. John 9. Robinson, known as the
lightning proof-reader, was found dead
in his bed at his residence in Williams
burg yesterday morning. Mr.. Robin
son was born in this city forty years
ago. He attended school in the sew
enth ward, and entered John A. Gray's
printing establishment in Cliff street
as "copy boy" when thirteen years
old. In 1854 he entered the Tribune
proof-room. In deciphering manu-
scripts he was marvel. He read
Richard Hildreth's, Horace Greeleys,
Count Pulaski's. Gerritt Smiths and
other grabbed manuscripts almost at
glance. When Mr.. Greeley himself
was unable to decipher one of his own
written sentences he referred it to Mr..
Robinson, who looked at it steadily
for minute or more and made out its
meaning. In the municipal canvass OF
1866 letter from Mr.. Greeley, written
under the Springer House heading, was
sent to the night editor of the Tribune.
It Enclosed an editorial article in the
same handwriting, favoring the cleo
ton of well.known Republican pol
itician, who was running on an indie
pendent ticket. It was the night se-
fore election. The article was put in
type. In asserting the copy before
reading the proof, the manuscript came
under the eyes of Mr.. Robinson. He
examined it as paying teller would ex.
anime a doubtful bill. "That's not
tho old mans handwriting" he said.
He was so confident that it was a for
gerry that he called the editors atten-
ton to it, and the article was sup
pressed. So skillful was the forgery
that on the following day Mr.. Greeley
said that had he not known different
he would have taken it for his own
handwriting.
Mr.. Robinson's rapidity in reading
proof-sheet aloud was unparalleled; and
his enunciation was perfect. Timed
by the writer, he has pronounced 696
words in q minute. This is at the rate
of Al, 200 words per hour. The words
were pronounced in q monotonous
tone Of voice without accent, and came
from his lips as though sent from the
wheels of machine. Long before the
death of Mr.. Greeley, Mr.. Robinson
was given charge of the Tribune proof
room. He left that journal in 1875.
and accepted similar position on the
Sun.-N. Y. Sun.

Affections, also positive and radical cure

Reasonable Economy.

We do not like stinginess. We do
not like economy when it comes down
to rags and starvation. We have no
sympathy with the notion that the poor
man should hitch himself to post and
stand still while the rest of the world
moves forward. 1t is no mans duty to
deny himself every amusement, every
luxury, every recreation, every COM
fort, that he may get rich. 1t is no
mans duty to make An iceberg of him
self, to shut his eyes and ears to the
sufferings of his fellows, and deny him
self the enjoyment that results from
generous actions merely that he may
hoard wealth for his heirs to quarrel
about. But there is an economy which
is especially commendable in the man
who struggles with poverty an econo-
my which is consistent with happiness,
and which must be practiced if the
poor man would secure independence.
1t is almost every mans privilege, and
it becomes his duty, to live within his
means; not up to but within them.
Wealth does not make tho nam, and
should never be taken into account in
our judgment of men; but competence
should always be secured when it can
by the practice of economy and self
denial to only tolerable extent. 1t
should be secured, not so much for
others to look upon, or to raise us in
the estimation Of others, as to secure
to us the consciousness of iAdepend-
ence, and the constant satisfaction
which is received from its requirement
and possession.
