Tho Position OF General Pryor.
Editor U1briup Rf0isfer.

A misapprehension existing as to the DO.
sition Of General Roger A. Pryor in the
present national canvass, am authorized
to state that under no circumstances will
he support any candidates save those OF the
Democratic party; that he Is now, in the
interest OF the Democratic party. exhaust
ing every effort TO placate and harmonic
the disafiected elements in New York and
Massachusetts,; and that these efforts will
not be relaxed until the day OF election.
1t Is General Pryor's opinion that wise
policy will seek to enlist all sections In the
common cause, rather than by virulent in.
vective TO estrange those who otherwise
might support the ticket.

Breeding Geese for Feathers.

1t is not generally known that this
s an important business in West Vir-
yinia, but such is the fact In that
state, especially in the western part
'he watercourses are numerous, but
not navigable, and railroads are unde-
veloped. Often fifty or sixty miles
must be travelled to reach a railroad
station, and on such localities breeding
geese for feathers is found to be very
profitable. Several pickings are made
in a season and the crop of feathers
IS duly baled and sent to market by
wagon, which is usually at some sta
ton, where agents are ready to receive
1t. We allude TO the feather crop of
West Virginia in order TO state that
geese may be made to prove equally as
profitable in other localities as well
especially at points possessing limited
.ailroad facilities, as feathers are not
,aeavy enough to interfere with easy
aauling, even when there are full loads

Or on pond. They come up regular

Electric Light for Locomotive Head
lights.

The application of electric light is
one of the most wonderful. Ever
since its discovery railroad men and
inventors have been trying to adapt it
touse as a locomotive headlight. The
trouble was in the oscillation Of the
great engine frame, which shook the
carbons together Some Ohio and In
diana men have invented perfectly
balanced lamp to hold the carbons. 1t
has been running on the Pan Handle
railroad. between Bradford Junction
and Indianapolis, and has been sue
cess. John i. Miller, superintendent
of that division, told me it was per-
feet. 1t is run by little engine and
dynamo placed on the side of the loco
motive back of the Westinghouse
brake. The engine is, of course, in
constant motion, and fed direct from
the boiler by an eighth of an inch tap.
This invention will make travelling at
night safer than in the daytime. The
electric light will show an obstruction
mile away. Collisions mostly occur
on curves, but the cone of light sent
out from one of these headlights would
pierce the darkness so far in a straight
line as to be seen from any part of the
seurYe. am told that the Pennsylva
niaFailroad purposes to put it on all
their engines. 1t is the most import
ant invention for railroads since the
Westinghouse air brake.--John a.

Getting on the Downward Slope.

Meeting on the Downward slope.
Two that wrecked each others hope,
Parting coldly in their prime,
Met upon the downw ird slope,
Taught by tears and calmed By time,
Under aulumn's perfect trees,
Dropping bright rememLrances.
There they spread their stories out,
Face To face and hand to hand,
looking back with wistful doubt.
Into the forgotten land.
Where the wheels OF life went fast.
Hardly seen till they were past.
Looking where the dawn had been.
Till each gray and pallid line
Shivers with a Gun unseen,
Which must never rise and shine.
And the Moment, lost and vain
Comes before their souls again.
