A Funny Little Railroad.

O~tCuyo <fetOSs
There is little narrow-gauge railroad in Cen
trail Illinois which is rather amusing. 1t runs
through rich farming country, and is owned and
managed by wealthy farmers. The conductors,
engineers and brakemen are farmers sons who
have grown weary of raising cattle and corn.
train starts from each end of the road every morn
ing after breakfast runs to the opposite end of the
road by dinner time, returns again for tea, and
ties up for the night. As there is no telegraph
line connected with the road, nobody at any of the
stations knows when train is coming until it
arrives in sight. As the rails are laid on ties
placed on the fiat prairie, and as no grade exists
from one end OF the road to the other, the tall
grass has an awkward habit of getting under the
wheels and stopping the train. Not infrequently,
Also the light rails spread apart and the cars run
off the track and go tumbling along on the virgin
prairie. Whenever a little accident of this kind
occurs the engineer, conductor, brakeman and
passengers jump to the ground and lift the cars
into place again.. The passengers ride in car
reserved for them in the rear of long line of
freight cars. Half of this car is partitioned off
in order that it may also serve for carrying mail
bags, express matter and baggage. Not infre-
quently passengers walk into village ahead of
the train and announce that the cars will follow
them in an hour or two, providing they can be
kept on the track long enough. Sometimes a
locomotive gets stalled on some of the several
gentle hills along the line The trainmen there
upon quietly wait until the other engine appears.
Notwithstanding the oddities which exist in the
management of this little railroad it hauls large
quantities of freight and is making money for its
stockholders.

Negro Ravisher Hanged.

CAMBRIDGE, Md, Jan. s.-Charles Will
liams, colored, convicted of an outrage on
Mrs. Eliza J. Keene, white, in the county,
was hanged here to-day. From the time of
his arrest, during his trial, and since his
conviction he. exhibited an almost total in
difference to his fate, andi was not until last
night that he manifested any apparent con-
Germ. He protested his innocence Of the
crime. The of1ense was committed in the
lower part Of the county, which is sparsely
populated, and the assault was made on a
farm road, while Mrs. Keene was passing
from the county road where she left her
husband, to the house OF friend. He was
more defiant than otherwise, but last night
partially broke drown and wept, declaring
that he was to be murdered and spoke with
much bitterness against Mrs. Keene, and
the prosecuting witness. Clergymen, both
white and colored, were with the doomed
man today, and when they spoke to him
about preparing for eternity, he replied,
"It is too late, am going to hell, where 1
shall meet my accusers."

LETTER FROM FAIRFAX.

correspondence Oh tue hIe4SHuTa
CENrREvILLE, Va, Jan. 6.-The election
is over, and our majority is only forty-two,
only two-ffths of what it should have been.
1t should make every democrat hang his
head with shame from this, the banner dem
ocratic precinct of the county. Only one
half of the democrats did turn out. Only
one half can be depended on-seventy six
true blue, and as many weakened and
weak minded" who stayed at home and let a
republican run in, because the district chair
man usurped their authority, cried ring
nomination and who wished to whack some
one over the head of our candidate, whom
they thought had been too of1icious, at the
expense eff the party. Such growing and
grumbling democrats can indulge in when
they feel disposed. The defeat will place
Fairfax in the doubtful column again, but
it taught the republicans that it is easier to
win with good republican than with
double faced independent. We shall get up
and brush the dirt of, but will not forget to
charge our defest to the kickers and the ten
der footed, and the cost of the election to his
honor, Judge Chichester.
Our new Governor, Gen. Lee, will not feel
that his administration has been endorsed
by his county going republican SO soon after
he carried it with such large majority last
November, and I think ne will not feel very
proud when anyone shall venture to ask
him what he thinks of his county going re-
publican. b.
