"An Old Man"

An old man il q beautiful object in
his own place, in the midst of circle
of young people, going down in various
gradations TO infancy, and all looking
up to the patriarch with tilial rever-
ence, keeping him warm by their own
burning youth; giving him the fresh
ness of their thought and feeling with
such natural influx that il seems that it
grew within his heart; while Oh them
he reacts with AN influence that sobers,
tempers, keeps them down. His wis.
dom, very probably, is OF no great ac-
eount-he cannot tit TO any new state
of things; but, nevertheless, il works
its effect In such situation the old
man is kind and genial, mellow, more
gentle and generous, and wider-mind-
ed than ever before. But if left to HIM
self, or wholly 10 the society of his Goa
temporsries, the ice gathers about his
heart, hope grows torpid, his love-
nothing of his own blood to develop 1t
grows cold; he becomes selfish when
he has nothing in the present or future
worth caring about himself; so that, in
stead of beautiful object, he is an ug.
ly one, little. mean AMI torpid. | sup
pose one chief reason TO be that, unless
be has his own race about him, he
doubts of anybody's love, he feels him
self stranger in the world, and 50 be-
comes unamiable. From Or GRIM

Electric Ligh, For Locomotive Head
lights.

The application OF electric light IL
one of the most wonderful. Ever
since its discovery railroad men and
inventors have been trying 10 adapt it
TO use as a locomotive headlight. The
trouble was in the oscillation of the
great engine frame, which shook the
carbons together. Some Onio and
Indiana men have invented pr
fectly balanced lamp to hold the
carbons. 1t has been running for
thirty days on the Pan Handle rail-
road, between Bradford Junction and
indianapolis, and has been a success.
John +. Miller. Superintendent OF that
division, told me it was perfect. 1t is
run by little engine and dynamo
placed on the side of the locomotive
back of the Westinghouse brake. The
engine is, of course, in constant mo-
ton, and fed directly 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 dark
ness SO far in straight line as to be
seen from any part of the curve. am
told that the Pennsylvania railroad
proposes to put il on all their engines
Ii is the most important invention for
railroads since the Westinghouse air
brake. john 4. Long.

He refused her hand TO Edward Tay-

ing himself Spuller pursued them, but was
too late TO prevent their marriage They
mad retired for the night AT the house OF a
fricad named Williams Spuller forced his
way into the room, and as the bridegroom
rose in bed he shot him through
the heart The bride shrieked for
help, and Spuller attacked her with the re-
Nolver. mHicting wounds which will event.
ually end In death. Without molestation he
mounted his horse and left the town. An
armed posse followed and arrested him at
his home. For fear of lynching he was not
brought In until Saturday morning, and at
last accounts was safe In jail, which is
heavily guarded.

Minister Wallace.
LONDON. May l4.-Gladstone achieved
another triumph in the House of Commons
yesterday, but ii was not as decisive as his
friends would fain have had it. The
motion of censure by Sir Michael
Hicks Beach was voted down-303 TO 1913.
The debate on the motion was bitter. Lord
Randolph Churchill attacked the Govern
ment tiercely. He declared that
all England wanted Gordon res
cued, and that Gladstone would
either have to submit or resign. He COM
pared Glad~t0nc's speech with the DECLARE
tons of Poniius Plate, publicly washing
his hands of the blood OF Just man. For
ster. late Secretary for Ireland, also made "A
vehement attack OH the Government lie
declared he could never support ii In its
present Egyptian policy. He was frequently
interrupted with cheers. Goshen also made
strong speech. Harrington, Secretary OF
State for War said the Government recog-
nized its Responsibility for General Gordon
and had no desire to avoid ii. Sir Stafford
NOrthcote concluded the debate by remind
ing the House that II incurred grave respon
sibility by voting against the motion The
galleries were crowded and large numbers
of persons were gathered around the Parlia-
ment buildings Forster and Goshen alb
stained from voting. Thrty-two Panell
ties voted with the minority, having ascer-
tanned that they would not defeat the Gov
ernment by so doing.
