Hrond OF His Years.

Among the many venerable men who
registered as voters IL Brooklyn for the
last election was a tell man with rudy
countenance and white hair and beard
His form was erect, and he would easily
be taken for a man OF 90.
AS he approached the registry clerk
and announced his name there was q
general craning OF necks to catch d
glimpse Of the lEoud looking old man.

also thick blanket to protect me from
the damp night air.
Shortly after sunset, as | was sitting
few rods from the stream, l heard loud
splash, and hurrying to the bridge l saw
that portion of the bank on the oppo-
site side had broken away, and also that
the action of the water, or some other
cause, had weakened the foundation of
the bridge in such manner that por-
ton of the line was bent and lowered
enough TO make it impossible for train
to cross. I Immediately crossed the
bridge, resolved to stop the train if pos
sible before it reached the bridge and
certain destruction.
Well, to make long story short.
went on in the direction from which the
train was to come, and soon found a
place which commanded q good view of
the line for considerable distance. l
Lit my lantern, wrapped my blanket
closely around me and sat down to my
wearisome vigil OF two hours. The
night was clear, and not very dark,
though no moon was shining. l suf-
fered nothing from cold, as it was re-
markedly warm, even for the climate of
Virginia, and l succeeded in keeping
awake, though the task was a difficult
one.
Slowly the moments passed by, but at
last l saw by my watch that the time
had nearly expired. and few minutes
would decide the fate of the train and
its human freight. Soon saw light,
far away and very small at first, but
rapidly growing larger and brighter.
l arose, trembling with excitement, and
commenced swinging the lantern above
my head, and, as the train drew near, /
redoubled my exertions and shouted as
loud as l could.
Onward came the train at rapid
speed. 1t was a time of terrible sus-
pense to me. Should the engineer fail
to see my signal, or not see it in time to
stop the train before going a few rods
past me, knew that no human power
could save it. On it came, and, oh, Joy
unspeakable! just as gare up my exer-
tons and stepped from the line my
frantic signals were observed. The en-
gineer whistled for brakes, arousing the
sleepy brakemen like an electric shock,
who flew quickly to their stations.
The train was quickly stopped, and l
then informed the engineer and con-
ductor Of the danger ahead, while the
frightened passengers left the carriages
and gathered aroundme. Many brave
man grew pale when he learned what
fearful death he had SO narrowly es-
capped.
Among the passengers I found my
wife, not mangled and lifeless, but alive
and well, though somewhat frightened,
and a good deal surprised at seeing me.
The conductor gave me q seat next to my
wife, and then had the train backed to
the station it had just left, from which
kilograms were sent to warn all other
trains Of the danger.
In the morning my wife and took the
train for home. l have but little more
to add, except that the company insisted
upon making me a handsome present,
and also gave me free pass over the
road. | do not pretend to be able to ex-
plain the dream, which was certainly a
remarkable one, though doubtless nc
more so than others could relate; but |
am satisfied that this dream was the
means of saving many human lives from
a sudden and most terrible death.-Balti-

REVOLT AGAINST PAKNELL.

He May Have to Retire From the Leader.
ship-some Say He May BE Insane.
Harold Frederic's Cable in the N. Y. Times.
Just now this Irish question has taken
an absorbingly interesting personal turn.
Mr.. Parneil last night calmly and with
bold indifference kicked over all the work
which his colleagues have done this ses-
sion. 1t is impossible to describe the con-
sternation and disgust with which the
Irish members heard him unsay ell that
they had said, condemn the plan of cam
paign and cooliy give away their whole
case against Baifour by inviting that gen.
tleman to collaborate with him (Parnell) in
remodeling the land-purchase bill.
Not solitary Irish member had had the
faintest linking of his intention to take this
course. He had not deigned to attend
single session since the Irish estimates
came up, and ignored the fact tn at, during
his absence, his colleagues had been SUBJ
lected to unexampled insolence and trucu-
lent abuse from Mr.. Balfour. Last night
the English Radicals were so furious at be-
ing thus hamstrung by the Irish leader
Just at critical time when the ministry
were trembling on the point OF being puteto
rout, that Mr.. Labouchere could only With
the greatest difficulty be restrained from q
pubic Remuneration OF Mr.. Parnel.
Ii is now probable that on Monday some
expression of his col leagues proper indig-
nation will be laid before Mr.. Parnell, ard
il is even considered possible that he will
retire at once from his post of leader
which latterly he has only used 10 insul,
and affront his colleagues. There has all
along been the difficulty of seeing how he
could maintain this post once the O'Shea
divorce case had come to trial. and last
night a number of Irish members were dis
posed to fear that brooding upon this
trouble had brought on the mental dis
turbance TO which he is hereditarily pre-.
disposed. 1t is the only way in which they
are able to account for his astonishing and
contemptuous act of treachery to them.
Ii Mr.. Parnell had not thus unexp. cted-
ly built golden bridge for them the con-
dition of the ministry might have been de-
scribed as about the same as last week
only more so. They have finally decided
to abandon this en- ire session at the ear
liest moment as a hopelessly bad Job. and
will try 10 make fresh start in Novem Der.
This decision renders any present recon-
struction of the cabinet improbable. and
Mr.. Parnell's interposition makes an early
adjournment feasible, and enables the min
is.ers TO address The country during the
recess as relatively successful politicians.
instead of defeated and discredited hang,
ers-on to the posts they had iorfsited.
which was their attitude in the eyes of the
electors twenty-four hours ago.
