Heroic acts, whenever it is neces- sary to encounter great personalper il in order to save fife, are the rule rather than the expectation among locomotive engineers. Engineer Siege, of the Pennsylvania railroad, has inst performed an act that is worthy of universa! admiration His train was going at forty miles an

The en- ginecr and fireman were forced for a moment to rush back into the smok- ing car, which was crowded with passengers, there being 600 persons on the train. Realizing the awful danger Of tho situation, Engineer Sieg rnshed back through the roar ing flames, turned on the ar brakes and stopped the train When the danger was averted he jumped into the water tank to alleviate the pain of his injuries, but he had been fear. fully burned and may not recover. - Washington Post.

 We are pleased to notice that work has begun on the improvement of the Mississippi River, and trust that our next Congress will push on the work of placing such barriers in the way of floods that the people will be secure from the disasters of overhows. The great Mississippi valley cannot be overlooked Its wants must be attended to. Says an exchange:
 The Mississippi valley contains l l,23S, ,643 square miles or 793, ,730, ,SS0 acres of the most fertile land in the world. A thousand miles in length and over two thousand in breadth. 1t enjoys all manner of climates and Is able to produce all the crops of the temperate and tropic zones. The farms in the Mississippi valley em- brace 305, ,256,000 acres, q winch 233, ,750000 are improved land, of tbe value of S5,005, ,670,000 There still remain 4S7, 100000 acres which have not been touched, virgin soil, which, when 1t is open to cultivation and is producing crops, will more than double the productiveness of the yalIey.p
 With its head pillowed on the waves of the beautiful Ohio; it's feet bathed by the pillows of the Gulf of Mexico; it's arms, tue one tanning the tumults of the stormy Atlantic, the other grasping tine peaks Of the mountains ofthe West; it is mighty giant, possessing within itself all the material for a proud and daugust Elm pire. Let us nope then that a due regard for so valuable part of our territory will induce the statesmen in onr national councils to devise measures that will still furlhur de velop her resources and greatness.

CAVE GREEK, Oct. 22, 1882. Editor Democrat:
 Having promised my friend "Pink Eve" of Mt. Hersey, with whom I have spent many pleasant hours du- ring the last three months, that I would drop few wayside notes for the DEMOCRAT, while upon the wing, I proceed to do so with any amount of pleasure.
 Your correspondent, left Mt. Her sey and it's many natural attractions yesterday morning, and, though he shed not tear upon leaving, he felt none the less grieved, for being as he was upon the most intimate terms with the benevolent and ever gener- ous people of that section, you may be assured that it was a touching ordeal.
 All the incidents of my short trip from Mt. Hersey to Cave Creek would fill very little space if barra- ted, and therefore it IS useless to say more than the yarigated mountain scenery was picturesque, and an oc- casional note from the winged song sters was balm to the heart of the lone traveller.
 The people of Cave Creek felt a considerable shock from a supposed earthquake on last Sunday at about 80 p. m., accompanied by rumb- ling sound resembling distant thsn- der, from a northwesterly direction.
 The shrill whistle of J. w. Sal mons steam mill was heard at an early hour this morning, which was not only indicative of early rising, but of the dawning prosperity Of a people who have been until recently blind to the profitableness of intro ducing machinery into the noun tains.
 Capt. H. c. Dickey has returned from Hot Springs.
 Pink Eye" requested me to an swer "Cato'so question, as he under stands that "Blue Eye" is visiting other parts and perhaps will never read "Cato's'' communication. A biped was never until modern days known to be afflicted with "Pink Eye" and as it does not materially change the features of person, a better description can be given of the effect it has on aperson's feelings, which are similar to the feelings of love. It is an inward "combustible" and an outward "allover," and has a tendency to make person quick to perceive, slow to speak upon other than topics of interest, ready dis criminator, a lover of his species, truthful, good natured, healthy and happy. i
 One cannot read "Hawk Eye, Sr's" communication without naturally feeling a desire to grasp his aged hand and giving 1t hearty shake.
 Mrs. G. II. T. Dodson was heard to remark that she felt greatly in debted to "Hawk Eye, Sr.," for his eulogium.
 Prof. Waidrup who taught school on Cave Creek, the past season, has the praise of being q proficient schol. ar. and industrious and asslduous instructor. Would that all our teachers could bear such merited recommendation More anon,
