Miss Anthony and the Baggage
SmaShers.

According to a reporter of that city
Miss Susie B. Anthony left st. Louis thu
other day, for Leavenworth, with two
medium-sized trunks for baggage. A
first the baggage master objected te
check them both on single ticket, anc
demanded pay for extra weight. "But,'
said she, 'they together weigh less thar
the ordinary-size Saratoga l distrib'
ute the weight in this way purposely tc
save the man who does the lifting" The
clerk looked at her increduously. "Ano
you tell me seriously that you do this
simply out of consideration for the bag
gagemen?" 'I do" "How long have
you done it." Gall my life. / never
purchased large trunk for fear might
add to the overburdened baggageman's
Affections" The clerk walked off and
conferred with the head of the depart
ment. Then the two returned together
"Do I understand" said the chief,
"that you of all women, have been the
first show humanity toward railroad
people?" ''That's tenet of my creed
sCheck that baggage" said the chief
with emphasis, ''and when you run TO-
Office, Miss Anthony, you shall have my
vote" 8Mine too" echoed the clerk
handing her the checks, and the tri

RAILROAD NEWS,

The difference between the locomotive
engineers on the Gould railroads and Off
Gals of that system have been amicably set
tied and.a strike prevented. p. NJ. Arthur,
grand chief engineer of the engineers con-
vention in session at st. Louis had a long
conference with General Manager Talmage,
and the following schedule of ,ages was
agreed to: Three and half cents per mile
for passenger engineers, and four cents per
mile for freight engineers, one hundred
miles or less to constitute a day work, and
all over one hundred miles to be paid tor
at the same rate. Engineers running push
ers to receive 800 per month; switchers, $50
per month; all detentions over two hours to
be paid at the rate of thirty-five cents per
hour. These terms were somewhat under
the original demand, but the engineers
seemed satisfied with them.
1t is stated that Pullman's patent on sleep

the through lines will now build snd oper-
ate sleeping coaches independent ofthe Plll-
man company. Already a number of the
|. patronized lines have cut loose from Pull
man. The Baltimore & Ohio, the New
York & New England, and theBoston &
Albany have. used cars of their own manu-
facture for several years, and claim to have
made them very popular by making the
price of lower berth $1.5O and upper
berths 81.
The modest Flathead Indians only asked

The Pennsylvania Railroad company
employs a gardener on each of the three
divisions betweenP Philadelphia and Pitts
burg. The gardeners duties are to lay
out the various beds which greet the eye
of the railroad; traveller at the various
stations, the company furnishing the
money to secure the necessary plants.
Hei also expectedto preserve their SYM
metry by trimming them at intervals of
few weeks to a month. The watering
of the grass and plants is left to railroad
employees having the time to attend to it.
Other Eastern railroads have made COM
mendable efforts to improve and beauti-
fly their station grounds, and some of
the Western roads, notably the Illinois
Central have followed their example, But
generally, western railroad stations are
the most uninviting and positively dis
. agreeable points the traveller encounters,
when they should be the pleasantest.
Perhaps improvements may come in
time. 1t would come quick if allscould
realize the beauty of the adornments
elsewhere.

"A War Incident.

The Cumberland iMd.) Daily News chron-
icles the arrival in that place of DR.. Edwin
H. Bri cham of Boston, Mass, on avisit to
Mr.. Peter Helm and tells the following story
concerning the first meeting of these two
gentlemen:
In 1868, DR.. Brigham, then quite young
man, was a private in the Thirteenth Massa-
chusetts Regiment and was in the second
battle of.Bull Run. There he was captured,
but was paroled and was sent, with num-
Der of Others to Harper's Ferry and after
wards to Cumberland, where he arrived sick
and very weak. While in this condition he
passed the residence of Mr.. Peter Helm, who
lived near, the camp ana leaning against the
front gate, asked Mrs. Helm for zee of
bread, and, to be allowed to sit on the porch
and rest. The good-hearted lady called her
husband, and, although the soldier was I'M
kempt and travel stained, Mr.. Helm at ouee
saw that he was a refined gentleman, unac-
customed to such rough life. After he had
conversed with younV Brigham a few mo-
ments his heart opened to him. and he COM
PEELED him to remain in the house for three
weeks. During this time he was treated
with the tenderest care by his large-hearted
host and his wife, and when he left for Camp
Chase, strong land we'll, he was supplied by
Mr.. Helm and other citizens with means to
live in more comfort than the service al
lowed. So far, our story is perhaps common
place. but what was unusual in the matter
was that on returningto his home in Boston
Brigham wrote to Mr.. rein, and ever since,
for nearly twenty years, regular correspo,.-
dence has been Kept up between them. MIR.
brigLam's family became interested in his
benefactor, and his mother was also. through
the mails, warm friend of Mr.. Helm.
From the year 1868 until yesterday, how
ever, MIR. Helm and his soldier friend had not
met. 1t may be imagined that their meet
ing was joyous one; to DIR. Brigham, in
grasping once more by the hand one who
had been friend in need and to revisit the
scenes of his past suferings and to Mr.. Helm
in meeting one who he had come to re-
gard almost as q son.

THE DAYS DOINGS.
WARRINGTON VIEWS.

The secretary of war has ordered the fol
lowing changes in the stations and duties o
officers of the subsistence department: Capt.
VIM. HI Nash, commissary of subsistence,
will be relieved from, special duty in the Of
nee of the commissary general OF subsist-
ence, and will relieve Cart. Charles B. Pen
subsistence at Washington, d. g., on or be-
fore Sept. 80, 1882. Capt Penrese, on being

Engineer Melville spent last Sunday night
at the Ebbit house in Washington, and
Saturday afternoon took an extended drive
as the guest of Lieut.. 'Danehhower. To
correspondent he said there was absolutely
no foundation fer the story of ill-feeling ex-
listing between Danenhower and himself
When Danenhower and he separated at Yak
uts they were on the NEST friendly terms it
was possible for two men to be, and from
that time up to the present nothing has 'oc-
Cured to mar the good feeling existing be-
tween them. The interview telegraphed by
the Herald correspondent was manufactured
out of whole cloth.
Quite acommotion has been created in
the medical corps of the army by the desig-
nation of Surgeon David L. Huntington to be
acting surgeon general during the absence of
Surgeon General Crane, and by the statement
that the latter officer was trying to induce
the secretary of war to recommend the ap-
pointment of Surgeon Huntington to the va
can't assistant surgeon generalship. Surgeon
Huntington stands nearly at the bottom of
the list of surgeons, ranking as major, there
being forty-two ahead of him, as well as
twelve lieutenant colonies and four colonies.
Public Printer Rounds expresses himself
as perfectly contented with his success in
getting out the Congressional Record eighty
seven days quicker than any of his prede-
cessors have done. There were eight vol
umes in all. The work contained over two
thousand pages more than that for the frs
season of the Forty-fifth congress. The gov
eminent, too, was a gamer by the expedi-
ton to the amount of SIS 900.
Secretary Teller says he has granted no e1-
elusive rights for hotel privileges in the
Yellowstone park, simply authorized a GER
tain company to make Improvements under
restrictions as to rate of charges to be made.
That is all that was asked or expected of
him.
The president has signed the commission
of William H. Walker to be principal clerk
on private land claims in the general land
Office, vice Luther Harrison, promoted.

Fanny Kemble on American Fea-
lures.

In Mrs. Kemble's Records" she says:
with us coarse-featured English, and
our heavy-faced Teutonic kinsfolk, a
lick outline and snub features are gen.
orally supposed to be the vulgar attri-
butes of our lower classes; but the pre-
dominance of spirit over matter vindi-
Gates itself strikingly across the Attain
tic, where, in the lowest strata ofsociety,
the native American rowdy, with a face
as pure in outline as an ancient Greek
coin, and hands and feet as fine as those
of Norman noble, strikes one dumb
with the aspect of a countenance whose
vile, ignoble hardness can triumph over
such refinement of line and delicacy of
proportion. A human soul has a won
derful supremacy over the matter which
it informs. The American is whole
nation with well-made, regular noses;
from which circumstance land few 9TH
ers), l believe in their future superiority
over all other nations. But the lowness
their faces are capable of "hogs Europe"
Upon this the Quarterly Review re-
marks: During an afternoon stroll
along one of the most crowded boule-
wards of Paris, the late Lord Lytton
called his companions attention to the
rarity of well-made, regular noses among
the French, which he pronounced an
unerring sign of the degeneracy of the
race"
A Virginia physician says he never

A baby born on a recent trip of the

Liverpool and New York, was christened

Morris tribune., 1882-10-05

There was no excuse for the omission
of congress to reduce the postage on let
tiers to two cents. The postoffice de-
parrment is nearly self-sustaining, and
even ifit was not in this favorable con-
dition, ,it,was the duty of congress to
lower letter postage. The treasury is
over-howing>with money derived from
the people and the reduction would re-
suit solely; to their benefit. This and
many other things could readily be OBJ
tanned, if congressman were made to
understand that their. constituents de-
mand such, fayors.
