How an Awful Calamity Was

How an Awful Calamity Was
Averted by Quick-Witted
Switchman.
Detroit Free Press.
We had come down from Virginia
watering place i'm the mountains to a
small railroad station on the banks of
Cheat river. The tracks conld be seen
for about half a mile either way. and
the roadbcd ran within SIX feet of the
bank. There was nothing to see but
plain building, water tank, and man
seated Oh box with his back TO the
building and sound asleep. We sat down
on a rock on the opposite side of the
track for smoke, and had been quiet
Ior TWO or three minutes, when the
sleeping man suddenly Sprang to his
feet with yell. We hadn't heard the
Siightest noise to alarm him. neither
mad any OF Us given him start, but as
he sprang down the track and looked
UP. and down we heard that queer
noise whice the rails give out when
train is approaching.
There was a switch there running
alongside the platform, but the rusty
rails showed that it was seldom used.
Inc lever to throw it was hundred
feet above us. at the lower end tie
was placed across the rails.
AS we looked up the track we saw
two runaway freight cars coming down
at wild pace. AS We looked down the
track we saw the day express coming
around curve. We did not stir foot.
but the man who had slert in the sun
ran to the bar and threw It over. Then
he ran to the end of the switch and
slowed the tie around diagonally. He
did not have time to move thirty feet
before the cars ran upon the switch
with an awful clatter, travelled Its
length in two seconds, and as the wheel
struck the tie the ears toppled over to
the left and made one long jump into
the river, spIashng water fifty feet nigh
as they struck. They were floating
away as the express pulled in.
"WhatS the matter?' asked the con-
uuctOr.
"Oh, nothing; l just switched those
cars into the river" replied the man.
Never passenger Oh that train knew
what had happened. The mans quick
wit had saved an awful calamity. yet he
was the stuppidest-looking man you
ever saw holding a position.

VENGEANCE is THEIRS.
Defeated Politicians Take 1t Out
of the SalOonkeeperS.

Oh the SaIOonkeeperS.
For at least six months there has not
been Sunday when saloons were closed
so tightly as they were yesterday.
Months ago the administration became
convinced that it would be of interest
on election day to allow the saloons a
little more latitude and longitude. "A
few of the drink purvcyOrs were arrest
ed from time to time-thOSe that had
least influence pOlitically--aS sort of
Dluff, but most of them were allowed to

ment, the merry clihk of the glassware,
the seductive gurgle of the bottle and
the jest-provOked laugh fioated out upon
the early morning air long after the
midnight hour when all good saloon
keepers are supposed to be asleep, in
accordance with the regulations of the
police commission. But election has
come and gone. The administration
has been left i'll the woods. The saloon
keepers will suffer in consequence
Saturday night the ukase went forth
from the receSSeS of the city hall that all
saloons must close promptly at mid
night and remain in a state of compress

dire misfortune. That is why the
saloons resembled clans, and hundreds
of thirsty mortals were heard to wall:

Wedding Gifts.

Harper's Bazaar, in judlcious edi-
torial on wedding gifts, has this to say
concerning custom which happily is
no longer countenanced by the best So
ciety: THAT one may hare as many
recurring wedding festivals as there ar
wedding days recurring no one will
deny. But that one may turn any of
these festivals into an excuse for beg
ging and receiving, an excuse for inn
posing another domestic tax upon
friends and acQuaintances, no one now
will assert. whatever may have been
polite usage a generation ago.
Indeed, whenever one thinks of the
great sacredness and tenderness of the
marriage relation it seems difficult to
see how any one can be willing to vul-
garize and profane it by such custom
as the asking and receiving of gifts, and
we would expect its anniversaries to be
celebrated, not in rude merrymaklng.

business of the gospel ministry to gave
directions to bewildered travellers.
This is grave responsibility, for There

PARNELL AND LIBERTY.
Rev. William Wilkinson Says the
Way of the Reformer Is Hard.

Rev. William Wilkinson Says the
Way of the Reformer Is Hard.
At st. Andrews church yesterday
morning, the rector, Rev. William Will
kinsOn, preached from the text, I'VE
shall not fail, nor be discouraged" He
said: "Of all the paths trodden by the
children of men, the path of the re-
former and Regeneration of mankind is
the hardest. Not that the two are
identical, for they are distinct. Ref
Ormation and regeneration are distinct,
but they have each something in COM
mon. They both require quail
ties which test hope, try pa
tlence, call for sacrifice, and are. in
many instances, doomed to disappoint-
ment. If man will know what preju-
dice is, how strongly self is entrenched
in the heart of man, or how malignant
enmity can be, let him set up as re-
to feel the forces of evil
are not phantom things, but
very real, keen and painful.
No matter whether reform is tried in
simple cases, in individual men, or in
the more complex things of national
life, the result will be exactly the same
in kind, though it differ in degree. In
the former when sin appears to have
done its work so sadly that reformation
is promised, and seems TO have begun:
when conduct gives hostage hope, ana
faith is strengthened by sight, in mo-
ment the scene is changed-the old sin
breaks out with more than old violence.
encouragement takes possession of the
heart of the man who had looked for
reformation.
SO it is in national things. To gain
the rights of any people is not task of
day, q year, nor an age; it is work
of a long, continued struggle. often of
tears, strife and blood; but for us, hap

it harder for injustice and despotism to
MAINTAIN their hold and keep their
sway. There are seers who divine
the signs of the times, and who know
the rights of the people, men who are
not deceived who cannot beb.ought, who
will not be sold; the 'splendor of whose
words and the proves of whose deeds
are the glory of the nations and the
days i'll which they live; who teach the
ignorant their own rights; who inspire
the timid to valOr in defense of them:
who see clearly what is best to do, and
how best to do it. To them great peO-
plies learn to look, and upon them to
trust, while progress advances with
rapid step and sure. When the goal is in
view, when it looks to an onlooker that
the consummation of noble desire is
near, even at hand. suddenly it is
found that some trusted standard-bearer
is found delinquent in moral things. and
the lesson of hundred ages has again
to be learned in pain, sorrow, keen re-
