How She Stopped the Train.

A day or two ago lady on a Central
Railroad train, after depositing numer-
Gus bundles in the rack overhead the
seat, hung her umbrella upon the cord
connecting with the air brakes. A news
boy passing through the car noticed the
suspended gingham and politely in
formed the innocent owner that she
must remove it. What's that string
for if it amt to hang things on?" in.
quired the old lady, as she dropped the
umbrella in the seat. The boy an.
swGred in all eacneStness: It's to call
a waiter when you're hungry" and
passed on. Some time after there was
vigorous pulling of the air-brake cord
and the train came to a standstill. The
conductor rushed up to he old lady and
in a tone of amazement exclaimed,
Z" What's TIE matter?' d" Bring me a
plate of pork and beans" drawled out
the ancient female with the umbrella,
not in the least aware that she had
stopped the TTain. All explanation toI
lowed and the joking newsboy did moi
venture forth from the baggage cal
during the remainder OF the trip. Al.

Wonderful Endurance

A story Of almost incredible endur-
ance and fortitude comes from the far
West with the reports of floods and
snow storms. Three men, including <.
D. n. Cooke, Superintendent OF the
Stage Line, started from Fort Fetter-
man, on the upper North Platte River,
for Rock Creek Station, on the Union
Pacific Railroad, on blackboard drawn
by two powerful horses. The snow
was falling fast and drifting badly, and
before they reached the twenty-five
mile station they had completely lost
the trail, and the horses were suffered
to wander about, guided by their own
instinct. After time they left the
blackboard behind them and endeavored
to push forward on horseback. At one
point Mr.. Foote was nearly killed by
his horse, which fell backward into a
snowdrift eight feet deep. After this
the horses were abandoned, and the
men struggled along on foot, hands,
faces and feet being badly frozen. The
three men had three sacks of mail and
a canvas overcoat The first man would
stand on his mail-sack and throw the
coat ahead of him, allowing him to take
one step. Then each man would follow
on, step by step, and the last man, pick
ing up the fourth bag, would heave it
ahead for the first one to step on. In
this way they made something like
three miles, and when the third night
set in they began calling for help, and
in half an hour or so were answered.
Other calls were made and they were
again answered by the firing of gun,
but the wind was so strong they could
not form any idea of the direction it
came from Again and again they
called, and finally a light was seen, and
in an hour and half they made the
last quarter of a mile, finding them
selves at the stage station, twenty-five
miles from the starting point. The
driver had to be dragged the last quar-.
ter of mile, and Mr. Foote says:
"When l knew that | was safe it
seemed impossible for me to walk. |
fell down twice in making the last few
yards from the stable. | had no
strength to walk, and after entering the
barn | could not eat"

NORNING GLORTES.

There are passion flowers for plucking, with
the nails and thOrny cross,
There are pansies gOlden-hearted, there are
asphOdes and gOrse,
And the roses drop and beckOn, sweet as sun
shine after rain,
But the early morning glories, can they bloom
for us again!
We have sought for wealth and honor, we nave
piled our trophies high,
Dust and ashes, gems and laures, but we pass
unheeding by.
All along the weary highway and upon the
wind-swept shore,
We are seeking morning glories; will they
bloom for us no mOreI
o, above the gracious hill-tops and beyond the
moons red glare
Where the River smiles its welcome In the
quiet evening air,
On the brows of loved and sainted, in the
music of their strain,
Dye purple morning glOries; ye shall bloom
for us again.

VIRGINIA'S EXAMPLE LIKELY TO Be
FOLLOWED.

1t is stated on good authority
that certain restiv, Democratic pol
iticians of North Carolina have man
ifested disposition to emulate Ma
homes example and get up a revolt
in the Democratic Party of that
State. No we.l-defned steps looking
to this course have yet been taken,
but it is stated that during the long
nights of the approaching Winter a
well digested programme for ruptur-
ing the solidity of the old North
State will be formulated and, when
the Spring opens, set in motion and
vigorously pushed forward. There
are many young men in North Car
olina who are said to have grown
weary of well-doing in the ranks o +
the Democratic Party. These, like
others of this class in other Southern
States, have voted year after year
with UNMARRIED regularity without, it
is thought, seeing any practical good
resulting from their adher ence to old
party lines. Who is to be the leader
in this supposed political revolu-
tionary movement is not mentioned,
if known. 1t is believed that Gen. ]
Malone is manifesting great deal
of interest in the outcroppings Of
Independent movements in the States
south OF Virginia. There is little
doubt that the success of the coali-
tionists in Virginia is attracting
much attention in some Of the South
ern States.

cHILpREN's JOYS.

The childrer's world is full of sweet sur
prises;
Our common things are precious in theii
sight;
For them the stars shine, and the morning
rises
To show new treasures of untold delight.
A dance of bluebells in the shady places;
A crimson flush of sunset in the west;
The cobwebs, delicate as fairy laces;
The sudden finding of a wood-bird's nest.
Their hearts and lips arefull of simple praises
To Him who made the earth divinely
sweet;
They dwell among the buttercups and
daisies,
And find HisIblessings strewn about their
feet.
But we, worn out by days of toll and sorrow,
And sick of pleasures that are false and
vain,
Would freely give our golden boards to bor-
One little hour of childhood's bliss again.
Yet He who sees their joy beholds our sad
ness;
And in the wisdom of Fathers love
He keeps the secret of the Heavenly glad
Our sweet surprises wait for us above.

months in the year are North and
North West. The entrance to
Yaquina is protected partly by Cape

result is that during these winds the

ASTORIA LETTER.

A correspondent to the New

| have chance to pick up additional
items of evidence touching rthe ex-
travagance Of the port charges in
this river against shipping. They
can only be obtained in peice-meal,
and may as we'll be used as received,
which will not prevent their use col
lectively in the future; and as this
testimony, coming from the parties
who are themselves out and injured,
is usually accompanied with their
free expressions of opinion, we may
keep informed apace with the kind
of representations that are made by
them to the ship owners of the world
to the just detriment of the Portland
shipping interest. Capt. Paige, of
the British bark Astrican, whose par
tial statement OF his impressions and
of she difficulties and expenses met
with has heretofore been given, re-
marked to me the other day that,
Judging from the charts it would ap-
pear to be dangerous for a ship to
sail in or out over the bar, but that
he was Thoroughly convinced there
was really great danger in such an
attempt. AS a consequence, ship
masters bound here for the first time
who are uninformed are liable to run
the risk. Morever the tugs offering
their services here are too small and
not Of sufficient power" As to TIE
