A Petition to the Gar.

The following telegram was sent from
Sofia to the Emperor of Russia one day
after the arrest of the Liberal leaders:
"Your Majesty: Graciously forgive
us for addressing you by telegram. The
gravity of the moment compels us to do
so. The time is short; the knife is at
our throats. II you do not withhold it
we are lost. Do not allow them to de-
prive us of the liberty conferred on US
by your august parent, the Czar Eman-
cfpator. We are already half slaves.
Yesterday the four best patriots of our
country were deprived Of their liberty
in an illegal manner. You fought per-
sonally for us. Could you bear to see
us again slavesP Our best men have
been libeled. We refute this libel.
Your Majesty, these words are our own.
Nobody is telling us what to say-we
are prompted by our own hearts. Be.
ieve US, our minds are not obscured.
For five hundred years we were slaves.
Your august parent wrested our liberty
for us by force of arms. The liberty
that he conferred upon us we will prize
as our lives. We beseech you to com.
mand that our patriots be liberated.
Give but one order-that your subjects
should not aid in trampling on our ma
tional rights given us by your august
parent. Without the aid of your sub
jects no one will make us slaves. Our
priceless national privilege-free cleo
tion-is being trampled under foot.
The election of representatives who will
renounce liberty can not be in accord.

A Railway Presidents Private Car

The following is description Of the

Vandalia: rsn.s.a u1.l-H,
81 The interior is finished with ash, var.
nished and rubbed down until the glitter
of the varnish is lost in the plain color
of the hard wood This finish gives the
walls and roof and furniture-eyerything
in ASIA very tidy appearance. Moth
ing could look cleaner. The parlor, In
the rear end, contains six arm-chairs, 8
secretary and an extension table. The
next room, q sleeping and dining
contains eight berths. The lower seat
run lengthwise, making sitting accom-
modations for each side of the table.
Going forward, next In order, and very
conveniently punched, are the heater, a
closet, wash-stand and linen closet. Over
these, supported by the various parti-
tons round and about them, is sixty
gallon roof tank for water. The tank is
out of sight. Its existence would not be
surmised, except by inquiry as to where
the water came from. Next, on the
right, is q private bedroom, with wash
stand and closet, and bed across the
car. From the bed and from the parlor,
by means of q cord, the occupant of the
car may put on the air-brakes and stop
the train. From two places in this room,
and from eight other places in the car,
electric signals communicate with the
kitchen in front. The kitchen is sup
piled with q ship stove and sheet-iron
compartment up the pipe for keeping
food warm, with coal-box, sink, draw.

berth for q porter. An extra mattress,
to be laid on the ice-chest, makes Sleep
ing room for an extra porter. The
lamps and heaters are the same that are
found in Pullman cars. '

On q Western Mountain.

1t is difficult to lay down laws of gen.
eral application governing altitude and
atmosphere in this elevated region. To
walk uphill is exhausting; to sing, alb
surd and impossible. Yet the ''burros,"
or tiny Mexican donkeys, are stimulated
to prolonged vocal exercises unknown
in lower regions, and make night hide
Gus with their late concerts outside the
tents. In the absence of dogs, which
do not thrive at this altitude, they per-
form the part of camp-scavengers, de-
vouring every waste article, from dilap-
idated clothing to greasy newspapers.
Otherwise we should be visited by q
pestilence; for, though ''every prospect
pleases," the prospector is certainly
''vile." The effect of the altitude /,
directly felt upon prices, which are ex-
orbitantly high while the rarity of the
atmosphere is shared by purses, which
become singularly light. In this place
of suspension between heaven and earth,
watches, too, seem to vibrate between
time and eternity, and become badly
demoralizedj in their effort to follow
both. Occasionally we receive the time
from Gunnison City by telegraph What
remains after loss by the way is then
distributed, to serve till exhausted, when
a new supply is obtained in the same
way as before. Eastern etiquette and
formality are of necessity dispensed
with, and to q great degree Eastern
costume shares their fate. Flannel
shirts, duck coats, corduroy breeches,
broad-brimmed hats and the tallest of
top boots form the prevailing attire.

How the Doctors Went to washington.

The ride. of the two consulting physi-
as one of the most remarkable on record
Dr. Frank H. Hamilton received the dis
patch summoning him to Washington at
his house, No 43 West Thirty-second
Street, New York. 1t took him only
ten minutes to prepare for the journey.
He left the house at about two O'Clock,
with the remark that he did not know
when the next train would start, but
that he would get carriage and go to
the ferry, so that he would be ready to
take it. The dispatch, which was brief,
he took with him. He hastened in a
carriage to the Desbrosses Street ferry,
where he learned that the first train for
Washington was over the Pennsylvania
Railroad at 8 40 O'Clock. 1t would al
rive in Washington at 1920 p. m. Some
time was spent in inquiries as to the de-
parture of trains on other roads. Then
he crossed the ferry and entered the
Jersey City passenger waiting-room,
where he was recognized while he was
making inquiries at the palace-car win
dow. Superintendent Jackson, who was
in his Office in another part of the depot,
was sent for. A very brief time sufficed
to make him aware of the situation. He
hurried away from DIR. Hamilton, and
seven minutes later the latter was rush.
ing out of the depot on a special train.
1t was 8 10 p. m. when the depot mas
ter and the train dispatcher received no.
tice to be spry. Engine 915, one of the
best of the ordinary engines, with FIVE
foot driving wheel, was hitched to new
Eastlake coach, a.li at 500 it was run
out of the depot.
. The freight trains were all got out of
the way one after another on side tracks
in time to allow the special to roar past
them without Stacking speed, but two
passenger trains delayed the Doctor fif-
teen minutes. He arrived at Philadel-
phia at 5 O'Clock, q distance of ninety
miles in one hundred minutes. The en-
gineer was A. Vandegrift, and the con-
ductor II. w. Headley. At Philadelphia
stop of but few minutes was made,
in which to change engines and allow
DIR. Agnew to get on the cars. From
Philadelphia to Wilmington, with a stop
at Chester and other places, the run was
made in twenty-seven minutes, the dis
tance being twenty-six miles. A dispatch
had been sent to Wilmington for a
brakeman, and man named Hum
phreys was detailed to 'maS1s& train" Z"
AT, 5: :27 the, special, came dashing
through the city at the rate of, at least,
eighteen miles an hour, and the intrepid
brakeman stood near the track. He made
a desperate grab for the rear platform,
and at the risk of his life succeeded in
gaining a hand and foothold. The car
stepswere protected by wire railing, and
he was carried considerable distance
clinging on to this before the conductor
came back and unlocked the gate. The
train arrived at Washington at 1850 p.
M, an average run from New York Of
almost fifty miles an hour, and from
Philadelphia of over fifty-five miles an
hour. This is the fastest railroad time,
for the distance and considering the
stops, on record.-Baltinore Gazette. z

The Two Graves in Poker Valley.

&C. It was the curiousest thing that ever
happened in the diggins," said the old
man, as he slowly filed his pipe. '.Nigh
onto twenty years ago was about the
date, an a hundred or so of us miners
had squatted in Poker Valley. It wasn't
much of a valley, an thar wasn't any
too much poker, an know j put in
six months o. hard work in that ERE
hole an didn't cl'ar fifty cents q day.
Howsumever, that haint nuthin' to do
with the story sot out to tell, though it
serves to explain why we were all out o.
temper one AFTERNOON, when stranger
entered Poker Valley by the west trail
an brought his skinny an foot-sore
mule to halt in the center Of our town.
1t war airly in the fall, an the weather
was downright mean. It had bin driz-
zlin' all day long, an we had cussed an
sulked am loafed around till every man
was ready to answer q word with q
blow. i.-.a .TF-iD .-.-a- - --iffa
"a" The mint that stranger rode up we
all rushed out to see who he was an
what he wanted. He was o lightweight
chap, muffied up 10 the ears TO keep dry,
and we couldn't say what he could do
with q pick-ax or how he'd back q
friend in q fight. He didn't offer to git
down from his mule, but began to in
quar- arter o chap whom we called
Sweet William. This William was q
candy sort o. man. He seemed bit
pious, had q soft voice, never cussed NOR
drank whisky, an we didn't 'zactly mate
with him. Ten days afore this stranger
rode mp Sweet William got out o. his
blankets at midnight, either asleep or In
trouble, an the poor cuss took walk
over bit o. cliff about fifty feet high,
with lot o, Jagged rocks to light on
down below. We didn't take on very
much, as he had no partner an wasn't
one o. US, as menshuned before, but
we gin him decent burial an sold his
traps on the squar' to the highest bid
der. - .E
--s.Waai, now, that stranger was goin'
on to ak about William, am was assay
in to myself that he had the softest
voice of any man in the diggins, when
sunthin happened. Ole Kentucky Bill
an Deacon Joe had bin growlin' at each
other for an hour or so, kinder achin'
fur q row, an at length they went at it.
Ole Kentuck gin Joe q litter on the jaw,
an Joe he out with his pepper an fired
Kentuck to kingdom come. No, he
didn't, either. The bullet cut away
a lock of hair and did its bloody work
beyond The stranger on the mule got
it plump thro' the heart, and he was
dead afore he fell into my arms. Hell
No, stranger-'twas woman! Sure's
you're born, 1t was woman not over
twenty-five years old, and with face as
purity as thousand dollar nugget. She
was dressed sort o. man fashion, an she
was bravin' Injuns, bars, storms, and
