Youths Companion: In 1850 Gen
eral Sherman, then Lieut.. Sherman,
was i'm Washington for short time,
and learning that Webster was to
make II speech in the Senate, was
extremely anxious to hear him. On
Fastening to the Capitol, however, he
found the galleries crowded, and
seemed likely to lose the only oppor-
tunity he would ever have OF listening
to the famous orator. Finally he sent
i'm his card to senator CorWin, whom
ne had met on several Occa siOns, and
said to him when he appeared
"Mr. Corwin, am very anxious to
hear Mr.. Webster speak to-day"
well, why don't you go into the
gallery
told him the galleries were already
full and running over, and explained
that ! wanted him to take me ON the
floor of the Senate; that had often
seen persons there no better entitled
to the privilege than I.
"Are YOU a foreign ambassador? ="
he asked.
"No."
"No.'
"Are you IA member of the other
house?"
Certainly not"
"Have youever had "A vote OF thanks
by name?'
NO"
"Well, these are the only privileged
persons"
then told him he knew well enough
who ! was, and that ii lie chose he
could take me in.
Have you any impulence?" he
demanded. 'Do you think you could
become so interested in my cOnversa-
tion as not to notice the doOrkeeper?"
/ told him there wasn't the least
doubt OF it, if he would tell me one of
his funny stories. Upon that he took
my arm and led me turn in the YES
tibule, talking about some Indifferent
matter, but all the time directing my
looks to his left hand. toward which
he was gesticulating with his right.
In this manner we approached the
dOOrkeeper, who began asking me,
"FOreign ambassador governor oil q
State? member of congress
But ! caught Corwin's eye, which
said plainly, "Don't mind him. pay
attention to me-" and in this way we
entered the Senate chamber by side
door.
Once i'm, Corwin said. Now you can
take care OF yourself. - and cordially
thanked him. found a seat close be-
hind MIR. Webster and near General
Scott, and heard the whole OF the

How tn. Air ar,s. Horl..

Said q railroad man to me today: tTyl
bet not n in q hundred of the people
who travel IN railroad trains understand
how the pressure Of air Is used to apply
the brakes to a train. When the ar
brake was first invented the air was
turned into the cylinder under each car
when the a vas to be stopped, and the
pressure was exerted to force the brakes
up against the wheels. But at the pres
emit day the brakes are held against the
wheels by springs, and the air Is turned
into the cylinders to push the brakes
away from the wheels as long as the train
Is IN motion. When It Is desired TO stop
the train the air is let out, and then the
springs apply the brakes and stop the
train. This last method Of using air
pressure has great advantages oyer the
old way on the score Of safety.
"Whenever an accident happens to q
train one Of the first effects It is apt to
have is to rupture the air pipes leading
from the engine to the cylinders under the
cars; and that Of itself stops the train in
stantly. It is very important for every
body to understand this matter, because q
child 8 years old can stop q train in thirty
seconds from any car In the train If he
simply understands how. You will see,
II you look for it, that there is a sort Of
rope projecting from the toilet room of
every car. That connects with the air
pipes under the train. II you catch hold
Of it and give 1t q little jerk 1t will stop
the train before it has gone 200 yards."-

d PLEA OF GUILTY.

When q great political party goes
into convention. and fails to express
itself upon the foremost issues of the
times, the paramount questions of the
day, there i palpable evidence of ina
bllity on the part Of that party to under
stand the prime necessities Of an intelli-
gent people. Dakota is the victim Of q
great political injustice. The denial to
her of the right of division and state
hood has gone into history a. a national
disgrace and q universal outrage. The
withholding Of her school lands from
market, while her citizens are COM
pelled to paysa direct tax for the build.
Ing Of school houses and the education
": the younsg, is so gross a fraud that
Eneglectto denounce the political policy
which gives encouragement to it is little
less than q crime.
TGsttis indictm ent the late double
headed convention ut WATERFOWL
pleaded guilty. Not n word was
uttered in the resolutions of the terri
torial Democracy on this subject. They
failed to declare for statehood in any
form. They neglected to ask that the
100000 people of Dakota be given the
rights of American citizens, but by their
silence upon this vital question: have
placed themselves on record in favor Of
leaving the matter entirely in the part
isan hands Of Hamburg Butler and the
"Hon" Bill Springer.

recognized to be the administration
measure, yet it is such = monstrocity
that several Democratic congressman
have declared they cannot vote for it.
II 1t should pass, then the st. Louis cor.
vention must indorse it. BUTT will not
pass. The Mills bill is so violently par
tisan in its construction that the party
will not dare 60 to the country upon it.
Protection to all southern industries
and free trade in the north. This is the

forth by the Democracy after nearly
ten years control in the lower house of
congress; after nearly ten year" Of false
alarms owe the condition of the coun.
try. The glittering generalities Of a
convention resolution afford the safest
plank for the Democracy to stand upon.
