An engineer on the Danville railroad, be-
tween Danville and Springfield, Ills, has
cat that loves railroading. For several years
the cat has journeyed with the engineer on
his regular runs, usually sitting in the cab
window before its master. Sometimes in fine
weather it strolls out on the pilst and lies
there for hours at stretch blinking at the
dogs that bark as the train thunders by.
Sometimes it climbs to the top of the sand
box, and sits there undisturbed by the Shrek
of the whistle or the elang CT the bell The
cat used to belong to the engineers wife, who
is dead, and he wouldn't part with it for love
or money. The engine has had good luck
ever since the cat attached itself to it, and
the train hands think that it is a mascot

have often been asked how it is possible
to divide single telegraph wire and send
different messages on each side Of it. The
novice says: II should think there would be
a tumble somewhere along the me-" and, to
tell the truth, it looks to me as though the
uninitiated were about right but for one
thing, and that is the perfection achieved in
the invention of instruments with which to
control the wire. There is one curious feat

is that very often while one side of the wire
is working perfectly the other side will refuse
to perform its functions. The instruments

THE CoLORED MAN AGAIN.

Benjamin Butler, talking on the
newly raised question, says the
negro should be made whole man,
not half one, and that all offices
should be open to him but, in an
swer to question presented to him,
whether it would be proper to put a
negro in Harrison's cabinet, answer
ed, "Is he not man and a brotherY"
Burton r. Wilson, a prominent
colored man of Boston, says the re-
publicans cannot succeed without
the colored vote, and thinks now
the party has an opportunity TO
prove itself by Harrison's appoint
ing a colored man to the cabinet.
He favors Fred Douglass or John r.
Lynch.
Editor Powell, of the Advocate,
said the colored men think them
selves entitled to representation in
the cabinet, and he favored eX-
Senator Blanche X. Bruce.
Bishop A. w. Wayland Of the
African NJ. E. church, says the

yet sufficiently developed.

think it would be polite to place a
