to be able not only to procure for himself

A FAITHFUL ENGINEER. AT Charleston,
S. c., June %, the express from Summer

turned from the main track into siding
by a misplaced switch, and came into
collision with two loaded cars. Engineer
j. Samuel Smith was instantly killed, his
body being cut in two, and the colored
fireman has died of his injuries. The
engine was demolished and the engineers
body cut completely in two. There were
about $50 passengers, none of whom were
burt. They owe their lives TO the heroism
of the engineer who, instead of jumping
from the engine aftel the train lett the
main track, occupied himself during the
run of rs yards 10 the scene of the collision
in reversing the engine and putting on the
air brakes. The accident was caused by
the carelessness of the section master, who
was repairing the switch at the time. lie
was arrested and committed to Jail in

A tall young man went bathing in the
Mohawk river a Schenectady last Sunday
with several other Sabbath breakers, in
previous protests against their selection OF
such conspicuous place for their ablu-
tons While they were in the water a
Mr.. Van Voast appeared upon the bank
and carried off an armiul of their clothing.
All of the bathers however had enough
apparel left to get home without undue
exposure except the tall young man who's Q
only remaining raiment was collar and
a pair of shoes. But as luck would have
1t he found near the river an empty
barrel out of which he knocked the heads
and into which he stepped. and thus
apparelled he made his way home across
the fields, painfully holding up the barrel
as he walked, but dropping and sinking
into it whenever any one appeared in
sight. Before he reached the paternal
mansion half the dogs in town had
detected bis predicament and united to
form a bowling escort, 1t is thought that
Mr.. Van Voast's method Of abolishing
Sunday bathing will be successful.

Mr.. Wong, the editor of the Chinese
american, a daily paper printed in New
York in Chinese characters, says that his
countrymen in the United States are
delighted with the action of congress in
prohibiting further Chinese immigration.
They do not want any more of their
countrymen to come here. His reason il
that those that are now here monopolize
the laundry business in the cities and
new corners would cut down their profits
This is not the view which was taken in
congress when the law was passed
Perhaps Dennis Kearney and his Cali(or'
MIA friends, now that the law pleases the
Chinese, will want it repealed.
