The GOLDEN SPIKE,

How 1t Happened that SO Many Me-
znentoes are Made from it.
The golden spike that united the
Union and Central Pacific railroads and
connected New York and San Francisco
by rail has. says the Oakland (Cal.)
Tribune, been immortalized in song,
story and picture until it has become q
paRt OF the history OF this country, and
wherever the Pacific coast is heard OF
there will also the famous golden
spike of the Central tacitic be known.
Ihere is U peculiar fact connected
with this golden spike, however. The
spike is still in the custody of the Gen.
trail Pacific railroad company, and yet
there are many charms made from gold
that are said to be madefrom this spike.
The stories do not agree, aud much
speculation has been caused thereby.
The charms are made in the shape OF
little railroad spikes, each about an inch
long. They are engraved with the fact
that the metal was part of the golden
spike" that joined the two roads, and
giving the date OF the completion OF the
road, May 10, 1869. and the name of the
owner. These are looked upon as apu.
rious charms, but they are genuine, and
to explain this one must 70 back into
history whichis comparatively unknown
The Central Pacific railroad now owns
the track that runs to the. city OF Ogden
but az en- actual fact 1t move built this
road. For months the lOsntral. anl
Union Pacific railroads had been facing
one eastward and the other westward
the Union Pacific aiming to get over thu
SierrRs and the Central aiming to ge'
the best pass oyer those mountains intt
Nevada and beyond at that time i
was the intention of the Union Pacif,
TO have an entrance into San Francisco,
and the Central Pacific was trying Il
get as fas east as possible before making
q connection. Daring the first part o
the year 1869 and the latter part Of 1856
each roao had its graders working nigh
and day. They met in the neighbor
hood OF Promontory and passed esol
other, one set grading to the eastward
and the other to the westward within
few hundred feet OF one another. Eacl
road had graded many miles beyont
their first meeting place when the track
were laid to Promontory. ffty.thre
miles west OF Ogden. Then they pause,
and thought over the matter, and nego
tiations were made by which the Gen
trail Pacific railroad purchased the tracl
into Ogden and the grading ceased
Like immense mounds the nbaudone'
grades lay along the shore OF the grea
Salt lake to bear witness to the struggl
between two great roads.
Bnt to return to the golden spiks
At Promontory the spike WAS driven, an
with much ceremony and pomp was til
affair celebrated. The spike was mad
of gold-pure gold--and on the tip of
was e large limp Of rough gold; Tn:
the spike, which was aftsrward osrefuli
drawn and preserved, and IN iron on
substituted. 1t was from this reug
limp of gold. cast with the spike, tbs
the little watch charms are made.

How some Soldiers Hunted for the
Rear In a Lively Manner to Keep From
Being Shot. asg
Century Magazine: A sense OF cow
ardice seems to rob o being of all his
manhood. When you see q person acting
the coward you may sting him with re-
proach, hurl at him every epithet OF
contempt, ever cudgel him as you would
q cur, and there is usually not enough
manhood left in him to resent it; no
sense OF shame to which appeal can be
made. no spnsibilities to wound.
ras qaestioni is often asked whether
,men in battle, when they break run to
the rear very fast. Usually they do not;
they often do rot run at all; the most
provoking part of 1t is that they de-
iibegateiy walk away: and as to reason
ing with them, you might aa well try to
reason with Holsters when they scramble
ont of a basket and start for the water.
lThere was n soldier. however, in q
western army who in o retreat proved
an exception to the rule and showed
himself still master of the faculty of re-
sentiment. An irreverent general officer.
who was famous for designating his men
on all criticsl occasions by q title which
was anything but Q pet name, called out
to the soldier who WIGS breaking for the
year:
"Halt thereI turn round and got back
to the front, you--"
"Look-ee here, gin'rRl," said the man !,
cooking his gun and taxing aim at the
officers head when q man calls me O
name like HIni. y chat it's his last de-
part;1 word"
= "Oh, put up your gun" said the gen.
eral. II didn't mean anything. I for
got your other name"
Reasoning dictated by fear is seldom
logical. When q man becomes panic
stricken he recognizes but one principls
for his guidance, that self-preservatlon
is the first law Of nature, and is ready to
repeat the cry: 81 would give al my
fame for a pot OF ale and safety" The
instiucts of fear do not always guide him
| to o safe place. In HE confusion he
often ruHhes into more danger, and be-
comes o ludirious object TO watch. In
one OF the prominent battles, g
soldier belonging to q command which
was supporting q battery was lying
down with the rest OF his regiment to
obtain some cover afforded by q bit o.
rolling ground. The fire soon became
SO hot thst his nerves could no longer
stand the strain upon them, and he
sprang to his feet and started for The
rear. He soon found himself in q lsve
6ield that wal being plowed by the sho'
and shell, which ricoohetted over tht
rolling ground in front, and saw that b.
had dot out of the frying pan into tn
fire. aog
"What are you dong tnere?" cried al
officer. sl67
We'll, !" said che man, sI'm lookinI
for the rear of this army, but 1t dosen'
seem to have any"
