RELIGIOUS.

1t is evident that Catholicism has become a
veritable force in the united kingdom.
The Temple Emanuel congregation of
New York has donated $500 to the Jackson
vile yellow fever sufferers.
The Methodists throughout England have
almost unanimously declared against com
pulsory SectarIap education.
There are eight mission ships now cruising
in the North sea, each a combination of
church, chapel, temperance hall and dispeu-
sary.
George o. Barnes, the Kentucky evangel-
ist, is now devoting his energies to the con-
version of men from the soul-destroying
habit of meat eating, arguing that Jehovah
did not intend for the human race to feed on
animal food.
England has 1924, 900 Catholics, Scotland
32G, 900 and Ireland 3, 1861 900. They are rep
resented in parliament by 30 peers, 5
Engligh members of parliament and IS
Irish. The privy council of the queen has 9
Catholics.
The number of priests in England Is now
2,64S, including those expelled from France.
There are 1871 chapels and churches, that
is to say 81 more than there were last year.
During the year 1887 there were IS ordina-
tions, equally divided among the secular and
regular clergy.
According to careful calculations made by
a British clergyman of note and just pub
lished, Professionals have increased during
the last hundred years from 81, 900 600 to
l34, 900, 600. or nearly fourfold. Roman
Catholics, during the same period, have in
creased from 50, 200, 900 to 1853 ,000, 900, or two
fold. The Greek church, during the cen
fury, has increased from 100000 coo to $4,000,
600, also twofold.
The personal esteem with which Arch
bishop Corrigan is regarded by the Catholic
~clergymen of this city is well shown by the
gift of SIS, 400 which they raised for him on
his silver jubilee. The idea originated with
some of the assistant priests, and Father
Brophy was informally chosen to receive the
money. Euery dollar of it came from the
| pockets of the priests, and it means a good
deal when it is remembered that the salary
of a Catholic rector in this city is only $500
and that of an assistant priest $500. The en-
tire sum was raised, too, in less than
! month.

| had broken his back, but not killed
him. He fell facing Wallace, and with
that indomitable courage feroclty
that has always marked his race under
desperate circumstances, he began
sending in his arrows at Wallace rs fast
as he could fire them. And it is only
necessary to state that one of his shafts
went clean through the hard saddle
skirts and into the vital's of Wallace's
horse, to show you what they could do
with these primitive weapons.
/ hastily loaded my rifle and rushed
upon the PROSTATE savage. h was STILL
trying to get an arrow into Wallace,
who had thrown himself fiat behind his
lead horse. Ny second shot, however,
sent him. on the shadowy trail, and |
hallooed to Wallace to get up. aud when
he did come forward he was the most
woe-begone picture ! ever beheld-al-
most frightened to death. Poor fellow,
he finally lost his life in the service,
being one of the sturdy souls that sue
cumbed in the terrible Custer massacre.
In a succeeding article | will relate
how General Crook made a narrow
escape with his life, as a reminder of
which event he carries in his hip to this
day the flint barb of an Indian arrow.

MODERN RHYMES OF THE RAIL
Interesting News and Notes Of Rail-
roads and Railroaders.
AN AMERICAN RAILWAY LESSON
The Oldest Locomotive Engineer
How to Avoid Accidents-Mctal
Railroad Ties-A Singu-
lar Accident.
The Oldest Locomotive Engineer.

Macon Georgia. Telegraph: Augusta
boasts herself the home of the oldest
living locomotive engineer. His name
is Henry G.. ltaworth. The first loco
motive ever built in America was the
BEST Friend" of the South Carolina
railroad. After it had been used a lit
tie while the engine exploded. 1t was
rebuilt and called the "Phunix." Mr..
Raworth was put in charge of this loco
motive in 1884. From that time till
1885 he was continuously employed as
an engineer. on the South Carolina rail
road. In those tiftv-one years he wit
messed the wonderful evolution of rail
way science. The worlds great net
work of railroads was built during that
half century. When Mr.. Raworth first
handled the throttle twelve miles an
hour was considered good speed for a
locomotive. He lived to see sixty miles
an hour made without causing special
remark, and to witness the great tri.
umphs of railroad construction which
have revolutionized commerce.. The
old gentleman is still strong and in ex
cellent health, and, though he is seven.
ty-seven years old, would be capable OF
managing an engine now but for his
failing sight. He attributes his re
markable vigor to the fact that he never
took q drink of whiskey in his life.
Omaha daily bee., 1888-10-14

concealed in the name Of their mus
tangs, they opened the contest by dis
charging their arrows from under their
animals necks and bellies, and once in
a while a rifle ball was sent at us. The
savages, however, entertained a very
healthy respect for us, and remained at
sue a distance that our danger WAS
much less imminent than it would seem.
| ordered my men to withhold their

tanned our ground and watched the
frantic Blackfeet. AS their we'll
trained ponies wheeled and swerved in
every imaginable direction, their wild
riders would fling themselves with the
most wonderful alacrity from one side
to the other, notching and speeding
their poisoned tipped arrows with no
inconvenience whatever. Bolder and

nearer and nearer until they reached a

Almost together our rifles cracked
and the astonished barbarlans presented
a sight, as no less than five of their
ponies went down, two of them together
with their riders, but the other three,
iinging themselves free. scampered off
upon the prairie, while the whole cow

their horses and dashed a~ffrightedly
away. leaving two dead and II third

Had they charged us when we dis

ended differently.
My men were now inflamed with their
success, and without waiting for orders,
all galloped away after the fleeing In
dians.
The Blackfeet were a shrewd gang
and instead of retreating in a body they
separated, and it was every devil for
himself.
In fifteen minutes the last one had

How to Avoid Accidents,

The New York Central has a most
perfect system Of running extra and
special trains over its line, and if the
orders are properly carried out it is
next to impossible to have an accident.
For instance, if observation engine No.
522 has orders to run from New York to
Albany just ahead of train No. l the
order is sent out along the line and is
posted on the bulletin boards in every
engine and freight house for the guild
ance of engineers and conductors. The
order reads that engine 522 will run on
train No Is time. Engineers and con-
ductors, instead of being notified indi-
vidually of the fact, have merely to re-
fer to the order on the boards, which
are always sent out several hours ahead
Of the engines departure. Instead Of
having to look out for both train No. l
and observation engine No. 522, it be-
comes necessary only to look out for
train l, and in pulling in a siding for
that train to pass, the work Of clearing
both at the same time is accomplished,
as engine No. 522 passes along first. 1t
