A DYING REPORTERS SPECIAL.

1t is not many years ago that Tony
B-,the attache Of a central Iowa
paper, now defunct, rode out from
Southern Iowa city, one fine morn
ing, perched daringly on the brake
fat car that was attached to awild
freight and loaded with iron rails.
He was, like other reporters, made
up of vice and virtues-only the
first seen by the world, the latter
best known to his intimate friends.
He had been IN newspaper work
for about six years, was thoroughly
capable, and scored more "scoops"
than were ever recorded against
him. This, in the eyes of the city
editor, insured his entrance into
paradise.
To make the story short, forty miles
out from its starting point the sswild"
freight, with leap OF madness and
a terrible crash, went through q
bridge, down sixty feet, and Tony
sitting on the brake.beam. 1t was
over in an instant. Such things don't
wait for time to catch up with them.
When the conductor Of the train
(the only one uninjured) crawled ont
of the wreck his eyes first saw Tony,
lying across the side of a dismantled
boxcar, on his chest heavy rail,
his leg crushed, and dying. Beyond
him lay dead brakeman; the en-.
gineer was buried under his machine,
and by a large boulder was the fire.
man with a broken back. Tony was
conscious, and when the conductor
reached him asked for paper and
pencil. They were found in his peck
cts. Unable to write himself, he
dictated this, angrily ordering the
men who had come up to let him
alone:
c., Managing Editor Star,--,

Train through bridge at. Was
on board and am hurt. Will send
full particulars at once. I. b.
A farmer was secured, who carried
it to the nearest station. Then this
boy, true to his duty and not finch
ing before death, suffering frightful
agony, and while willing hands
sought in vain to release him from
his position, dictated "specialn of
l,500 words to his paper. What
he suffered no one can ever know.
1t was with difficulty that he could
breathe, aud every gasp cost him
wrench of agony. But he held death
back down to the last few lines.
" The killed were---", and so on,
ending with the name of Tony b
-, reporter" As he ended that
his eyes filed with tears, and he
looked up wistfully to the conduc-
tor, who had written the telegram
for him, and who himself could not
keep his tears back. "Tell my moth
err" said Tony "that | did my duty;
and, boys, rush that over the wires
for me. It's a scoop.'n 1t went
over the wires all right, and it was a

Tony was dead.-From the 50. Paul

THE EARTHQUAKE.


Perhaps, if we could measure it,
we might find that since the earth
quake of Tuesday night the whole
Allegheny range of mountains is a
very little higher. The general
theory of earthquake and volcanic
action is that the internal fires of
the earth are gradually lessening,
and that the globe cooling off con-
tracts, which causes the crust of the
earth to wrinkle as the skin of a
grape does IN drying. These wrink-
les are the long mountain chains
and the great valleys. Under the
lateral pressure caused at the sur
face by the shrinking Of the mass
within by cooling, portions Of the
earth are lifted, other portions de.
pressed. Just after a great earth
quake on the coast Of Peru some
years ago this lifting was so great
that all along the shore shell-fish
that had adhered to the rocks below
the water line were lifted out into
the air distance Of nearly four feet
and died there, leaving a perman-
ent record of the fact. In other
words, all that part of the chain of
the Andes was elevated several feet.
While the action of frost and rain
are ceaselcssly wearing down noun
tains and washing them to the sea,
the earthquakes are as ceaselcssly
building them up again. The
!" everlasting hills'' change imper-
ccptibly in the life of a man, but in
the course of long geologic eras they
change places with the bottom Of
the sea, as the myriads OF fossil fish
embedded in our mountain rocks
testify.
Such a phenomenon rs the earth
quake of Tuesday night reminds us
what little ball this earth is and
how closely we are related to the
antipodes. The present year has
been one of unusual volcanic energy.
A few days ago there was a great
earthquake shock in Greece. A
short while before there was ter
eible volcanic outburst in New Zea.
land. In Java the great line of vol
canoes began to smoke like huge
torches. Vesuvius has been rumb-
ling, and the volcanoes of the Sand
witch Isles have threatened.
A volcano seems to be u sort of
safety. valve, where the internal fires
find vent, and spend their force,
or part of it at least, in throwing up
ashes, scorie and pouring forth lava.
Where there are insufficient safety
valves of this sort, the imprisoned
forces take the shape of earthquakes
and fittings Of the land or the noun
tains. No part of the earth is ex
empt from earthquake, but the
neighborhood of lofty mountains
seems to be most subject to them.
What may have been the causes
that concentrated upon Charleston
the full fury of this earthquake are
not known. The laws of vocanic
and earthquake action are not yet
understood with sufficient accuracy
to furnish an answer to this ques-
ton. The shock seems to have been
felt from New England to the Gulf
of Mexico, and felt everywhere at
the same time-a little before ten
o'clock. There were several slight
shocks felt in the more southern lat
itudes that preceded the main shock.
They we're felt west OF the mountains
as well as on the seaboard, and
through the shudder seems to have
run the whole length of the ALE
ghany range, ifappears to have been
less felt in the mountains themselves
than on each side OF them.-dmeri-

LIFE'S WARFARE.

All +! life is weary warfare,
And the earth a battlefield,
Where he is the greatest victor,
Who is brave enough to yield.
To fight in the thick of the battle
May be ones wearisome fate,
While others may hear the herald,
. They also serve who wait"
The victories are not the greatest,
That are sounded on every.tongue
For the heart gains many triumph
Over which no praises are sung,
For many a soul has wrestled
With grief in the solemn night.
And has dug lonely sepulcher,
And buried it out of sight
And has mingled in the morning
Where mirth was holding sway,
And no one knew of the sepulcher
Hidden SO far away
