The speaker was brakeman on the
Erie Railroad.
"a day or so ago." he continued, "a
tall and handsome woman got into the
ladies' car at DuHirk. With her was Il
bright and interesting boy, possibly two
years Of age. The child laughed and
crawled and played with the passengers.
When the train left Cattaraugus the wo-
man, who seemed nervous, got out of her
seat, picked up the baby and started for
the rear end Of the car.
a short distance east Of Cattaraugns
is Il long, deep gulf, over which the rail-
road has built high trcstle. The distahcc
from the top of the trestle TO the wagon
road below is, perhaps, 100 feet. a sharp
and short curve leads TO the trestle. AS
the train rushed over the gulf a woman's

but, at the time the woman jumped, u
load of hay, drawn by pair of oxen,
passed under the trestlc. Mother aud
child landed squarely In the centre Of the
hay, and were thus saved from terrible
death. The farmer was so horrillcd that
he jumped from his wagon and dnrted up
the hill. The woman, who said, she was
not hurt In the least, said her name was
Mrs. Adam Scell AMI her home was in
Michigan. She WAS on her way to visit
friends in the oil country. Hers Was in
deed a miraculous escape"
Mrs. Scell said that she could not cX-
plain her action. When near the car door
she was seized with an insane desire to
jump from the train.
The farmer, rs he drove along, was
thinking Of his dead wife and daughter.
When the visitors came through the
clouds, as it were, and landed Oh his hay
he thought that tho dear departed had
come back 10 earth TO revisit him.

Humor ON the IBattIc Field.

Many humorous incidents occurred on
the battlefield. A Confederate colonel
ran ahead OF his regiment ut Malvern
Hill, and, discovering that the men were
not following him as closely as lac wished,
he uttered fierce oath, and exclaimed
"Come on. DO you want 10 live for
ever"' ..
The appeal was irresistible, and many
poor fellow who had laughed at the
colonel's queer exhortation laid down his
life soon after.

BY .his time, the fellow, seeing no one
but his captor, had begun TO suspect the
truth. But it was too late; and knowing
that he was utterly helpless and in the
power of the lad, who looked determined
enough, he could do no less than obey. \
half hours quick walking brought them
within hailing distance of the stagc-coach,
which was making slow progress over the
rough road.
The disconsolate passengers were griev-
ing over their late loss when 10 their
spcechlesS astonishment Martin Sherwood
appeared, escorting his prisoner. And
their delight and admiration of tho lad
knew no bounds upon his producing the
stolen goods and restoring them to the re-
spective owners, telling how he had OBJ
tanned them.
"I never really thought Of capturing
them" the boy said, laughing, "but |
wanted TO skeer them little, and see
how they would act. Aud Je-ru-sa-lum,
to think of their being such fOols.'
On arriving at their destination the
grateful passengers made up subscrip-
ton, and Martin found himself three hun
dred dollars richer. This would more
than enable him to send for his family,
and he felt as though his fortune was al
ready made.

An Inconsistent Blaine organ

What does the editor and proprietor of
the Chicago Tribune expect for his en-
thusiastic support of Blaine and Logans is
a question that is being pretty generally
asked in the Northwest. In 1880 the Ifi-
bune took particular delight in pointing
out the black spots in Blaine's record. 1t
did not at that time regard him as man
fit to be President. Now it holds him up
not only as great but as a good man.
The Republican platform is contrary to
its teachings in several respects. 1t is
strongly for protection. The Tribune is
one of the most advanced tariff
for-revenue journals in the coun-
try. The platform fayors the
restoration of the old duty on wool in ac-
cordance with the demands of the Ohio
wool growers. The Tribune has time and
again denounced this wool tariff as little
better than a steal. The platform de-
mands that the limitation shall be re-
moved from the arrears-of-pension act.
The Tribune has frequently declared that
this act was the work of demagogues and
was little less than a legalized effort to
rob the treasury. In view Of the position
that the Tribune has occupied towards
Blaine and towards some Of the most i'm
portant provisions of the platform, it is re-
markable that it should now champion
Blaine's cause with such fervOr. 1t is
not to be wondered at that the question,
what is Joseph Medill to get if the Re-
publieans should happen to be success
full? is asked.

RIaine's Wealth.

Blaine is said to be a millionaire. His
house and furniture in Washington could
not have cost less than $4,000. For a
good many years heshas lived rather ex-
pensively. 1t is certain that the salary
that he received from the government was
not sufficient to supporFhis family in the
style in which they lived. Blaine made
his great fortune after he entered Con-
gress. He has had no other business APP
parently than politics. He has made
politics pay very we'll. Before the cam
paign is over in some way he Will have
to account for his possessions. He
cannot resent inquiries into his private
business as impertinent. He is a candi-
date for the greatest office in the gift of
the people, and the people want to know
if he is worthy of their sufrages. If he
came by his wealth in perfectly honor
able way he ought not to be afraid to say
so at once, but if, as suspected, he got it
by not being a ''deadhead' in enterprises
like that Of the Little Rock Railroad,
where by persistent begging he was let in
on the ground floor because he was will
ing TO use his great Office of Speaker to
further Jobs, the people will make their
Indignation felt at the polls in November.
Before the campaign is over it is possible
that Blaine will wish that he had re-
NAMED as poor as Randall, Holman and
other Democrats who have spent the best
mart of their lives in Congress.

The Indian Territory Trouble.

The Cherokee Indians, it seems, have
determined to deal in a summary way
with the stOckmen who have been VIC
lating the laws Of the Indian Territory
relative to fencing lands. The Sheriff Of
the Cherokee Nation, with a posse of In
dians. is devoting himself to the work OF
taking down the wire fences which in
close tracts of land of more than fifty
acres. Very naturally, there is conster-
nation among the stOckmen, and it would
not be surprising if there were trouble
between the Indians and the stOckmen that
would resuItin blOOdshed. StOckmen ought
not to have been allowed to gain a foot
hold in the Territory unless in pursuance
Of a policy of gradually opening 1t to
settlement. 1t did not need prophet to
foresee that If they were granted one privi-
lege they would take other privileges,
and that they would either become COM
plete masters Of the grazing lands or
would have trouble with the Indians.
The government rigidly excludes
settlers. Captain Payne and his fol-
lowers have been driven out Of
the Territory at the point of the bayonet
more than once. Why should stockmen
be permitted privileges which are denied
to actual settlers? 1t is true that the
stOckmen have contracts with the Indians,
who are the recognized owners of the land,
and claim to pay them a rental of so much
an acre: but as soon as the stockmen get
firmly established it is highly probable
they Will refuse to comply with their
contracts. AS long as the Terri
tory is reserved to the Indians
neither stOckmen nor settlers ought to be
allowed privileges in it. Whether few
Indians should be allowed to have the
exclusive use of such a magnificent
country country containing hundred
times more land than they need, and
capable of sustaining population OF
miIlions-is question about which there
is a growing difference of opinion.
