years Of age, and still wearing petticoats,

too dear, it was observed bv them, at the
farm in Michigan where he was brought
up, that his bare legs were often badly
beaten by the gander. lie was told to keep

alone. The next spring hostilities were
again declared between him and the gan

The issue of all money by the Gov
ernment should be kept prominently
before Greenbackers as one of the
great demands made by the National
party. This is one great factor in
the financial reform to be brought
about let it be once understood
that the Government alone can make
and issue money, and the kind of
money which it shall issue will be
readily adjusted.
The national bank monopoly Of
money is the most aggravated mon
opoly known; by and from it the rail-
road corporations receieve their power
for evil, and it is in fact the very Gen.
tire ofevery moneyed combination in
existence. The national bank power,
once swept from its stronghold, would
carry with it the monstrous evils
which it feeds; and the most ,effectual
war upon all that so deranges and
overrides material business, is to wage
it upon this stronghold of monopoly,
the banking system, and work for the
issue Of all money by the Govern
ment.

A Runaway Train.

The most hair-raising episode that
ever happened to New Mexican
Mountain railway train fell to the lot OF
Conductor Blessingham Thursday after
noon at three o'clock, on the west slope
of Glorietta Summit. The train COM
prised nearly thirty loads, and as it en-
tered upon the descent, Jake Brown,
the engineer, threw on the water brake,
but found that it was broken and would
not work. The train gained momen'
tum to such frightful extent that the
switch cables and hooks lying on the
pilot base in front were hurled from
their place into the air, breaking one
of the locomotives guard-rails. Brown
called for brakes, but the train men had
already set every one, and realized that
the train was beyond their control.
Seeing that nothing could be done to
stop the mad course the train was rum
ming, Brown jumpe from the cab
while going at the rate of sixty miles
an hour and landed seventy-two feet
distant, actual measurement. Blessing
ham, who was on the caboose with
Pawnee Charley and wife as passen-
gers, fearing that the train was going
to destruction, cut his way-car loose
and checked it with the brakes, while
the train continued its velocity down
the long grade. i.ze fireman stood at
his posi- like hero, and while the en-
CINE was plunging down the fight at a
giddy speed, he crawled out on the
foot-board and poked sand through the
sand-box, thinking that it might assist
the wheels in getting grip upon the
rails. As the train sped around Ma

Steep the velocity was So great that

overbalanced SO greatly that it came
within an ace of losing its equilibrium.
