A HEROIC DEED.
How Young Engineer Saved a Hundred
Lives.

Lives.
Pittsburg Dispatch.
d. Rafael R. Quintero, Mexican engineer,
who was for a number of years employed in the
capacity of mechanical engineer at Jones &
Laughlin's works, and who is now one of the in
spectors of a Mexican railroad, recently distin-
guished himself as a horo He was engaged at
work at the intersection of two Mexican rail
roads, and by daring feat succeeded in saving
the lives of nearly one hundred persons. The
work. which was under the direction Of the con-
tractor, T. Mariana Brito, two inspectors
and the district Judge consisted of raising one of
the tracks in the vicinity of an embankment and
| placing cross piece in position. A large gang
of men were employed, and they had just sue
! ceeded in suspending the cross piece over the
ditch or embankment when the shrill whistle of
an approaching train from Merida was heard
| All present became filed with terror, as the pas
sengers were doomed to q terrible death, as were
| also the workmen and horses who were unable
to leave the track at that moment on account of
the enormous weight of the cross piece which
| they suspended. In that moment of anxiety
| the terror-stricken workmen were informed
that the station master of Progreso had ordered
a white flag placed on the bridge beyond as a
| signal that the road was clear, which increased
| the terror of the Mortified workmen. The train
| came laundering along, when Quintero, proeur-
ing a red flag, ran up the track and gave the dan
! ger signal The engine was blowing off steam
| and thick clouds of black smoke issued from the
| stack, so that Quiptero was invisible to the
engineer and the train came along with full speed.
| The brave inspector did not move from his posi-
ton, and when the engine was within few feet
of him he hurled the flag to one side, flung him
self upon the seat of the engineer and pressed
violently on the lever and succeeded in stopping
the train not thirty metres from the yawning
ditch, over which stood the gang of pale terror
stricken workmen. The train was crowded
with passengers. Twenty minutes after it was
stopped almost the entire population of the city
! of Progreso were at the scene, and broke out
| into exclamations of delight over the heroism of
the young Inspector. The district Judge subse-
quently arrested the station master, and engineer
and conductor of the train, and instituted an in
vestgaton.
The above particulars were translated from
an article which appeared in a Spanish paper,
and sent to Charles F. McKenna, of this city,
who is well acquainted with the young en-
| gineer.

The Cook of the F,,tnre.

Rev. j. Minot Savage, in "womans Sphere"
spoke in one of the sermons in this course
concerning the slavery of women to the kitchen
and called the kitchen, as it exists to-day, what
believe it will be unanimously called in future
ages-a relic of barbarism Women are decried
because they have not passionate love for tho
kitchen l honor them for it. I hope the day
will come when they will be no more bound to it
than their husbands are. never could see why
it a woman's business to cook any more than
a mans. Men in this Nineteenth century are
regarded as the best cooks; they have learned it
as a science; have studied it as an art 1t is not
my purpose to dwell on this, but only to touch
on it as one of the things which are to hope
for when the world gets wholly civilized. The
best women of the world are now slaves to the
process by which the food is prepared to keep
our bodies alive. How can you expect, then, wo-
men to have strong brains for working out the
higher ideal

Eight times the clock has struck;

Across the air there comes
sound of marching tread;
In city and village and town
The children are going % bed
With footsteps swift or slow,
With faces grave or bright,

All robed in gowns of white;
And each with a backward glance,
Calls cheerily out, Good night"

III victory for the Republicans by a
majority Of from 10000 to 25,O0O.-
Last year it went Democratic by a.
bout IL. 900 on Governor We have
uniformly claimed Ohio by 10000
majority this year, but it is better
than We anticipated We have been
sure of the State because it is always
a Republican State when the full vote
is out, and because a manufacturing
State like Ohio cannot afford to go
Democratic when the issue is between
Protection and Free Trade.

FULL NOON AND FROST

The fact that the fall frost gererally3
comes with the full moon has alwa! 8.
been observed by farmers. AIonroe's'
Dream Investigator accounts for the
fact in an article upon the Effect OF
the Moon upon the Ocean and Atmos.ss
pl'ere." After showing that the atmos..
phere is fluid like the ocean and that:
the moon produces tides in both, the
writer says:
The greatest removal Of pressure and
consequent rarefactiOn of the atmOs-.
pl'rre. occurs about the full of the
moon. because the moon then attracts
and lifts it up: and consequently, when
the aeria. tidal wave is not disturbed
by storm. we should have coldest
nights about the new and. full Of tt e.
moon. Now. is it not Il we'll known
fact that such is the case? And that. in
autumn. we usually have our first. frost
at the full Of the moon? Not because.
the effect is different in the autumn
from any other time Of the year. but
because we have il more favorable Op:
portunity to observe it 1T that time.
