4 TOUCHING SCENE.
ATOUCH OF NATURE WHICH MAKES
THE WHOLE WORLD kie.
The >elf-~nrrifice OF NaInan Nh!vo
Changed @eldshness TO sympathy.


There was pathetic scene on train
on the Western Division OF the Er., e
GENTLY said a conductor on that road
"A woman boarded the train at Olean.
She carried III her arms = baby hut a
few weeks Old. II was very cross ard
peeyish, and deiied all OF It's nura4's ef-
forts to keep it quiet. ITS cries were al
times so loud and piercing that the other
passengers could not hide their annoy
ance. and after while audible expires
sions of their feelings came from ali parts
Of the car. The woman was patient
under the double trial of the chiid's
troub4esomeness and the evident knowl-
edge OF the annoyance II was to her fell
low passengers. She talked soothingly
to the child, placed it in all positions,
aad tried TO SO arrange its wrappings rs
to, in a measure, deaden the sound OF
its cries. Finally some one III the car,
whose impatience had got the better of
his sympathy, shouted out:
If that child can't be kept quiet, I
hope it will be removed from the car at
the next station I
'This unfeeling remark seemed to
meet with general approval, and the
poor woman's eyes fl ed with tears, and
in attempting to speal4 4her feelings over
came her, and she pressed the baby
closer to her and sobbed violently. She
soon recovered herself, and redoubled
her efforts to keep the child quiet. For
a short time she succeeded somewhat,
but presently the cries of the baby were
as loud and prolonged as ever. At last
man arose and sid sharply:
Z" Madam, il would seem to me that
the mother of an infant should know
how to take at least half care Cf it.
The train had now stopped at Sala-
manca At the remark of the second
speaker, the woman arose in her seat,
and facing the car full of passengers
said, IN n voice trembling:
81 am not this poor little thing
mother. I never saw it before yester.
day, and | believe it hasn't living rela
tive. Its father was killed on the rail
read week before it was born. It:

thing, and to go with the dead wemaIl'
remains to her native place. Her hoI,

so troublesome, but isn't it entitled t
some little sympathy?'
1.-The effect of the woman 8 words ma
be imagined. There were few dry t,ys
IN the car when she dropped, sobbinR
into her seat All selfsbness was lost j

The Two AuntS.

III nj HIM. Upon my word Just
what might have been expected ! Sell
fish lIeartless Cruel p
Not ali at once, as written down. but
popping ont n br.ef intervals, sharply
and suddenly as pistol shots. the above
elaculatlons fell from the lips of Mrs.
Carpenter Wainwright, as she sat beside
an opens CRATE fire, reading letter. A
lengthy letter, too, closely written upon
four large pages Of paper. After she
folded 1t, she said more sharply than
ever:
"Well, thank goodness her mother is
no relation of mine ="
There fell profount il silence upon the
room after this last rdmark. Evidently
the news, whatever it was, about
the woman who was no relation of hers,
touched Mrs. Wainwright deeply. Her
brow was clouled, and, as she mnsed,
angry flashes sprang more than once
INTO her large, dark eyes. Upon all
sides of her were evidences of wealth,
and her own dress, though a morning
uegligee, was costly and in exquisite
taste. She was not young-past sew
cnty-yet she carried her tall figure
nrectly still, and her eyes were brilliant
as those of youth.
While she sat i'll profound thought
thcre was a tap upon the door, followed
hy tho entrance OF n young girl, just
touching eighteen, with a fair, sweet
face, lighted by eyes as dark as Mrs
Wainwright's own.
Aunt Cora" she said, brightly,
"ahalI l read to You now?'
The OLD lady looked into the sweet
face with keen glance, rs if ques ton.
ing herself somewhat about the girl :
then she said, abruptly:
II have had letter from Mrs. Pope,
this morning
with news from Mill Village ?" the
gitl asked, look Of pleasure on her
.ace.
You are very fond of Mill Village ?"
"No: like the city much better
Still, there are some people III Mil
Village | am fond of. :"
"Theoda West?"
The GIRL hesitated; then. lifting her
bright eyes, she sand, frankly:
II love Aunt Mary, but don't think
that l ana very fond of Theoda. She is
very handsome, very accomplished and
too fond of patronizing me.

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND.
Henry waterson's Impressions OF the
Chief Executiye----A Wondrous
Worker and Man.

Worker and Man.
n. w. in Louisville Courier-Journal.
There is more in the president than his
friends are want to allow and he gains
rather than loses on acquaintance. His
enemies fancy they are saying very
severe thing when they sneeringly as
sert that he regards himself as man of
destiny, who thinks he has discovered
the philosophers stone. Yet why should
he not? His life reads like leaf out of
a book of fairy tales. 81 wake up some
times in the night" he. said the other
day, ''and, seeing where ] am, imagine
it is all dream"
He has deal of craft of the wiser and
better sort, and needs only little more
training to foot it with the SIN ewdest of
the politicians whom he affects to de-
spise. He is good listener and good
talkpr. His most obvious characteristics
are straightforwardness and simplicity,
both in speech and bearing. He seems
to be exceedingly frank. But to closer
observance these appear to be outer as
poets merely. He is not man of
confidence or effusion is uncommonly
self-possessed and self-contained, and
emits. on occasion, a tough, dry humor,
ready. relevant and illustrative.
His disposition is entirely kindly and
courteous. The man, though of large
and rough exterior, with none of the
graces of Pierce and Arthur, has an easy
dignity. which suffices to fill the chair
he sits in. He is at heart gentleman.
| like him best when | meet him face to
face. He possesses faculty of curing
doubts and allaying fears. No one can
quit him, however the disagreement,
without q feeling of belief in the recti-
tudc Of his intentions. He may be in
error aud over-confdent but he is con-
scientious and disinterested and is try
ing to do his duty.
He is wondrous worker. He has the
poor mans love of work and trust in
work He wants to earn his days wages,
and there are some things which presi-
dent must do and ought TO do which go
against his grain, because they seem to
be frivolous, belonging rather to play
than to work.

L Terrible State of Affairs in Arizona
and New Mexico.
An E Paso, Tex. dispatch, dated Dec.
81, says: w. j. Jones, n well-known
ranchman from Arizona, who arrived
here to-day, says a terrible state Of affairs
prevails in the western part of New Mex
leo and eastern Arizona. He says that
the reports published in the newspapers
give but a poor idea of the number of
persons who have been massacred
and the harm done to property. Dozens
of men have been killed in isolate local
tiles whose remains were not found for
days afterwards. and on Christmas
morning l myself helped to bury a mas
sacred neighbor who is locally we'll
known, but whose death has never been
mentioned. Mr.. Jones states further
that Il range force of twenty eight men,
similar TO the effective rangers Of west
Texas, was lately organized by Graham
county, Arizona. The force is cOmpos-
ed of tried citizens of both territories,
ard the residents place in it their only
hope. The force is now in the field.
1t is well known that Gov. Zulich, of
Arizona, is in favor of forming terrific
rial ranger force, and it is expected he
will call the legislature together to pass
an appropriation act for this purpose.
