Punching POlygamy.

The Legislature recently passed the
following resolution relating to the
Mormons:
Resoircd. AS the sense of the Legis-
lature of Wisconsin, that. as the Terri
torial Government of Utah has been in
fact seized on by the Church usually
called Mormon, and as it has been able
to control a majority Of electors in said
Territory favorable TO permitting the
objects for which it was created, and
prostituting its powers to the protection
OF crime and the degradation of citizens,
it is the right and duty of Congress to
50 alter the form and plan of Govern
ment as win etfectually meet the evils to
be remedied and to enforce reform by
adequate remedies. and the constant re-
enforcement of this so-called religious
organization by the sweeping of Ameri-
ca and Europe should be legally discour-
aged, if rot directly prohibited.

A BRAVE DEED.
How Engineer Sared Train at the Risk of
His Own Life.

How an Engineer Sared Train at the Risk Of
His Own Life.
Now and then, in quiet times of peace
emergencies spring up which demand
the highest order of heroism. One of
those emergencies occurred at Wanes-
boro on Wednesday of last week. Trains
Nos. % and IA and y and 16 on the
Chesapeake & Ohio Road, going east,
had orders to meet and pass four sec
tions of extra trains coming west at
Blue Ridge. The extras were late, and
rs consequence eleven trains were
blocked on the main track above Wanes-
boro awaiting their arri, Al. After three
of the extra trains had passed, the first
section of No. II started out and com
menced ascending the highest grade to
the tunnel. Rain and sleet were falling
and the engine of No. l 1 being unable to
draw its cars the engineer of the train
Immediately following it. Mr. II. p Irv-
ing, detached his engine from his own
train, and, coupling on the rear car Of
No. IA, aided the ascent After push
ing the first train nearly a half mile.
and giving il good start, Mr. Irving
reversed his engine and started to re-
turn TO his own train, but ere he had
reached it he saw detachment Of the
train he had left coming down the noun
tain at rapid rate. ii having become
uncoupled from the engine. In an in
slant the intrepid engineer realized the
peril of the situation. Thirteen heavily
loaded cars We're coming down a seventy
five foot grade, and each revolution Of
the wheel was adding velocity 10 its
speed. With rare presence Of mind and
an iron nerve that few men possess, Irv-
ing started his engine to meet the des-
cending mass and break the force of the
collision. He ran up to within short
distance Of the cars, and then reversing
to tighten the shock, clutched the lever
in his firm grasp, and bracing every
nerve in his body, awaited the catas-
trophe. A moment and the crash came
The shock of an avalanche could scarce
ly have been greater. One of the cars
climbed up on the boiler Of the engine
and another was wrecked But the brave
man accomplished his purpose The
wild train was stopped. and the engineer
had saved many precious lives and thou
sands Of dollars worth of property

An effort is being industriously made
to connect Blaine with the Democratic

The attempt is a blunder. Blaine has

fence is enough to keep him out of the
Democratic camp. The Maine states

An Unwarranted Insult.

The Dodgeville Sun, in discussing the

insult that class whom it terms, . the
republican lawyers of the district" by
asserting that the reason why they ask
for change in the incumbancy of the
bench, is, that they f" want to be favor
ed in their practice. !
While the venom Of the reptile is
clearly shown he has miscalculated The
distance i'll his spring. That such
men as Hon. Philo. Orion, o. b. Thorn
as, VIM. +. Carter, Judge Miner. Archie
Bell, Alex. Proyis, Judge Mills, John G.
Clark, and the host of others who are
girding themselves for the fray should
be actuated by a pecuniary interest is
not only preposterous but insane. Tie
HERALD knows but one mind, outside
of the author of the statement, who is
stepped in depravity deep enough to
conceiveso gross libel on class of
men without peers in the state, and that
person is now confined in felon's cell
