Ono ON GOH.

A gentleman from Grafton tells us
that one day recently Gen. Gof was
in that town attending the meeting
of the contest committee. Ready
to return home he sauntered down
to the depot and was pacing back
and forth among the crowd in front
of the Grafton Hotel, with his head
thrown back and an aristocratic
sneer for the IowIy about him. A
man in the crowd, and Republi-
can, who, with number of other
workingmen, was recently diseharg-
ed from the B. & o. shops ON ac-
count of lack of work, recognized
Goff. Going up to him he asked,
loud enough to be heard by all the
by standors, if he was the greatand
only Gof who a few months ago
preached high wages and tho broad
shield of protection to the Ameri-
rican workingmen. Golf without
answering, lowered his head. and
sneal1ed off into the waiting room
amid the shouts of the bystanders,
and was not seen again until tho
train was ready to start Pdrkers-
burg Sentinel.

Jim Foote,s Biz Race.

Jim Foote'S name among engin-
GERS occupies about the same posi-
tion McLaughlin's does among jock
eys. The people along the line of
the New York Central hold their
breath even now in retrospect when
they think of the way in which he
used to come tearing down the
tracks on his old iron horse, making
sixty five to seventy miles an hour,
with 800 scared passengers hanging
on their seats and expecting every
moment to be dashed into perdition.
Those were the old days when the
West Shore and the Central were
willing to decorate their engineers
with the Order of tho Garter, or
grant them weeks pay for beat
ing each other by second or two
down the race course which ends at
Schenectady. At this point the
close of the race was rendered addi-
tionally exciting by the fact that
the Central passed under the bridge
which carries the West Shore over
its track, and the under engine
plungcs out of sight into the dark
ness, the other screaming over it's
head; exit made a moment too slow
loses the race.
The engineers on the West Shore
always stood a little in awe of jim.
He was the patriarch of the region
and a man who handles his engine
with all the skill that an Arab
handles his horse.
They weren't to be be beaten out
by reputation, however, and old
engine 110 used to have some pretty
hard scrambles, Notwithstanding the
fact that Jim's hand was at the
throttle.
One day Jim's train started on the
ten-miIe stretch down, nip and tuck
with the West Shore train, with an
engineer named Rantzler on the
engine. They came down at fear
full gait. Jim did his very best, for
he had heard that this very engin-
eer had made boast that he would
rub it into the invincible Central
man. The passengers on either
train caught the spirit of the thing,
and leaned dangerously far out of
tho windows, yelling defiance at
each other, and shrieking like de-
mons when the one engine or the
other gained the slightest advan-
tage. They were coming down the
home-stretch, and Jim, for once in
his life, was losing ground. He
kept his eyes steadily and despair
ingly on the other train, which was
gaining with dreadful certainly
upon him. They were abont 300
yards from the bridge, when what

A terrible riot occurred recently in Richmond, Fort Bend county, Texas. in which several persons were killed, among whom was the Sheriff of the county. It seems that there were two political factions, known as Jaybirds and Woodpeckers, between whom bad blood had existed for some time, which finally eliminated in bloody collision, with the loss of several lives. The whole county had become absorbed in these hostile factions, and the condition of affairs had become so dangerous and alarm ing that Governor Ross deemed 1t necessary to go there in person to adjust the difficulty and effect a compromise, which he finally sue ceeded in accomplishing after consid- erable delay. It is feared, however, that fresh outbreak may occur at any time, but it is to be hoped that there will be no further repetition Of such scenes.

INCENDIARY TALK.

A negro preacher named Bryan, edits paper at Selma, Ala. In a recent issue of his paper he uses the following language:
 "Wcre you (the whites) to leave this Southland, in twenty years It would de one of the grandest sections of the globe. We show you Moss back crackers how to run country. You would never see convicts half starved, depriving honest workmen of an honest living. It is only a matter of time when throughout this whole State affairs will be changed, and l hope to your sorrow. We were never destined always to be servants. but like all other races, will and must have our day; you now have yours. You have predicted that at no very distant day we will have our race war, and we hope as God intends, that we will be strong enough to wipe you out of existence, and hardly leave enough of you to tell the story. It is bound to come, and just such hot headed cranks as the editors of some of our Democratic journals are just the right set to hasten it. It is fact"
 The reverend scoundrel who wrote the article was not in the city when it appeared, and the people of Selma will see that he does not return. The executive committee of the white Republican Tariff League met at Birmingham and denounced the editorial as incendiary and danger ous, and tenderlng their moral and, if necessary, their physical aid to stop such utterances. - Ouachita Herald,
 We copy the above from our esteemed confrerc, the Ouachita Herald, with our endorsement of its comments on the incendary article. 1 If such sentiments as those cnuncia- ted by this wolf in sheep's clothing were common among the colored population, there would be imminent danger of q race war; but happily for the country the great body of the negroes are quiet and submissive, willing to accept the situation in good faith, and manifesting a dispo- sition to take the rear of the

Pulpit Mountebanks.

Some of the so-called evangelists now perambulating the country are desecrating the sanctuary with their slang and unseemly wit, and richly deserve to he called pulpit mounte- banks. If abuse, slang and witty sayings are in line with true preach ing, then will have to unlearn and revise all know from the New Testament on the subject; for our Savior and tho apostles never let themselves down to the level of that style of preaching, but maintained d tone of seriousness and gravity in all of their public utterances. l..

Niagara Falls,

In the summer of 1888, MT. Chas. Graham, of New York, one of the finest aquarelists in the country, produced a water-colOr of Niagara Falls, remarkable in It's accuracy of drawing, in it's marvellous coloring, in its masterly handling of tones and effects, all of which have been per fectly reproduced. As the point of view of this picture is near the Michigan Central'S station at Falls View, and represents it's vestibuled limited train at that point in the foreground, it obtained possession of the water-color and the copies made therefrom. The latter are printed in color, Ia! by 22 inches, upon paper 22 by 2S inches in size, and when framed cannot be distinguished from a genuine water-color save by an expert.
 They bear no advertising save what is involved in the title, "MICHIGAN CENTRAL TRAIN PASSING NIAGARA FALLS.
