The Paste st Time.

Recently, i'll the rounds of a Memphis hotel, a party of men were speaking of fast railway tray el. One man said: T was once conductor of train on Western railroad and I particulaIl y remem- Der one bit of fast travel. One day our engineer get drunk and the first thing l knew the telegraph poles looked like a picket fence."
 That was surely not strolling along" said some one else. ''lt re. minds me of my experience. 1 once ran an engine on southern road. One day, although l am ashamed to confess such recklessness, l put on every ounce of steam. You may not believe it, but the engine only touched the top of the grades for the next twenty miles. l ad- init that this sounds like an cxag. eration, but 1 can prove it."
 Colonel Bob Leech was one of the party. 'Gentleman', said he. II don't know now fast an engine can travel, but I'll give you an idea of how fast one did go. During the war 1 ran a scouting engine for the Confederate government. It was my duty to carry a telegraph operator, who, at different points would cut the wires and send dis patches. l had one bit of expert ence that makes my hair stand up when I think oft. We were run. ming at a rapid rate, one day, when upon rounding a curve, 1 saw thousand gun barrels blaze in the sunlight l also saw that q number otcroSs-ties had been piled on the track. To stop in time was an impossibiljty: to go on seemed certain death, for if we escaped being killed by the wrecking of the engine, we would be shot to death, for we were regarded as spies. decided in a second what to do. Telling my companion to lie down in the tender, l selzed the throttle, and. in locomotive parlance. threw her wide open. The engine jumped like a rabbit. l threw myself flat in the tender, expecting every sec. ond, to be hurled to an awful death. Bang, bang, bang. went the guns. Then all was silent, save the whir whir of the wheels. Could ] it be possible that the engine had knocked off the Instructions? l arose and looked out. We h ad passed the enemy and had scat tered the ties. My companion, as much astonlshed as my sell, got mp. l looked back, and just above the tender l saw what l took to be a swarm of big black flies. reached out and took hold of one. Gra- cious, then discovered what they were. They were . shower of bull lets that the enemy had fired after us. Well, we ran along at this rate until the pallets all fell behind. Then we slacked up."
 The gentlemen looked at one another but no one disputed the statement.-A ArSansaw Traveller.

A Voice from Providence, R. I,

For twenty years l have been afflicted with dreadful blood poi son, and during all those years 1 have had the best medical advice in the country, the physicians pre- seribing the only remedies known, such as Mercury and lodide of Po- tassium, all to no purpose. l was six months in Bellevue Hospital, and became so bad that dcspaIred of getting well. then, through advice. went to Europe and tried some of the best physicians there with the same results, and l re- turned again to this country. Finally I went to New Orleans. being told that the French doctors understood the treatment oi my ease better, and perhaps could cure me. Alas. however, alter taking more mercury and potaS-

There were holes in my legs that you could put hens egg in, clear down to the bone. \ num- Der of pieces of bone came out at my ankle, and now l carry the scars on my face and body of the frightful character of this disease. I then came back to Providence. and by chance got hold of pa per with the advertisement or Swilt's Specific in it of wonder full cure. As last hope l thought I would try il, Thanks be to God, l can say to-day that l am perfectly cured, having taken medicine about three months. tP to the present date no symptoms of the disease have returned, and I feel as well as before l was poi soncd. l have nothing but two sears to show that l was ever at- Aictcd.

Special TO the Sentinel.
WAsHIEGToN, Jan. 15.-Au extraordinary
sDarl has the Grant retirement bill gotten
into. Very positive grounds are taken in
the House sgainst the Edmunds bill passed
by the Senate. Leading Democrats say the
leaving OF General Grants name out Of the
bill, so that it will be optional with the Pres
ident, was done at the suggestion of
the latter, and that since ne saw proper TO
veto the FitZ john Porter bill, they will not
indorse that sction by passing bill he has
dictated so sc not to stultify himself. 1t
looks now as though the House would refuse
to pass any bill on the subject unless it con-
tains the name OF Ulysses s Grant. The
Democrats say they do not propose to sub.
scribe to the veto of the Fitz John Porter bill
By passing the Edmuads bill, and that they
intend to show the people OF the country
that they think there is something in
name. They also desire some credit In ia
voring General Grant. The Senate must re-
cede from its action in this case, as in sppro-
pristiOns.

Are you allowing many more pensions
than formerly?"
They run about the same al the year
