Railroad Track Buried Under Land
Slide.

A land slide occurred on the Fall Brook
Railroad near Blackwells, Pa. For 200 feet
the tracks were buried to depth of four or
five feet. AT an early hour the following
morning coal train ran into the slide, and
the locomotive and several cars were wreck
ed. The slide was caused by the heavy
rains, the whole top of the hill sliding down
on the track. At several other points traffic
was stopped by sand heaps on the tracks.
In Tioga county the rain resembled a water
spout, and considerable damage resulted.

We suppose that nobody who knows the
negro expects him to ba other than his
history during and since reconstruction
days has shown him to be. But what shall
we say of Republican Statesmen" candi
dates for the high Office of President of the
United States, who purchase the negro's
vote as they would a horsewhip?
One Dudley, negro, was not long ago
appointed postmaster at Americas, Ca,
whereupon Colonel Jack Brown, a dis
gruntled competitor for the same appoint
ment, relieved his conscience of burthen
by exposing Harrison's purchase of Dud-
ley. We quote Colonel Brown as follows !:
81 went to the Chicago Convention in
the interest of Allison. Sherman paid the
expenses of Buck and the entire Georgia
delegation to Chicago, and put up some
extra money besides. Dudley's expenses
were, however, not included. He paid his
own way there. His seat was contested,
and Buck, who had Sherman's funds to
dispense, paid the expenses of Elbert Head,
another negro, who contested Dudleys
seat, and who, Buck thought, would get it.
Buck, you know, divided out the Sherman
Doodle among the Georgia boys.
swell, in Chicago, found Dudley had
paid his own expenses. l collared him
and led him up to Allison's headquarters
Dudley wanted 800. l offered him to
Governor Gear and Mr.. Henderson, who
had charge of Allison's headquarters, at
that amount. They, however, refused to
buy him. Allison was not buying dele
gates. Then l led the negro out like
mule and put him on Harrison's block
Bill Dudley, of Indiana, quietly bid his
price, and got him for Harrison. The
negro Dudley carried out his contract. He
got his money, all he asked, and now he
gets post-ofice besides"
''Blocks-of- Five' Dudley bought blacb
Dudley for that strenuous advocate of
civil service reform Mr.. Benjamin Harri-
son, now President of the United States
OF course the principal beneficiary in this
shameful transaction-Mr. Harrison-will
claim that he knew nothing of all this
>dickering. But if not, why did he carry
out the bargain by appointing the negro to
office?
Senator Sherman-John Sherman-paid
the expenses of Buck and the entire
Georgia Republican delegation to Chicago!
Why has no senator called for an investi-
cation Of this matter? Is the man who
tries tn buy the Office of President of the
United States fit to sit in the United States
Senate? Is there no senator who can see
that it is his duty to consult ths welfare of
the country rather than the feelings of
senator? "Then l led the negro out like
mule and put him upon the Harrison
block!' "Bill Dudley" bought him for
Harrison and Sherman lost his vote and his
influence. Dispatch.

WE SHALL MEET AGAIN, CLEMANTHE.
George d. Prentice.

George D. Prentice.
The fiat of nature is memorable. There Is
no appeal from the great law which dooms
as to the dust. We flourish and fade as
the leaves of the forest; and the flowers
that bloom and wither in day have no
Trailer hold upon life than the mightlest
monarch that ever shook the earth with his
footsteps. Generations of men will appear
and disappear as the grass, and the multi
tude who throng the world to-day will dis
appear as the footprints on the shore.
Men seldom think of the great event OF
death until its shadow falls across their
own pathway, hiding from their eyes the
faces of loved ones whose living smile was
the sunlight of their existence.
Death is the antagonist of life, and the
cold thought of the tomb is the skeleton OF
all feasts. We do not want to go through
the dark valley, although it's dark passage
may lead to paradise; we do not want to lie
down in the damp grave, not even with
princes as our bed-fellows.
In the beautiful drama of Ion the hope OF
immortality, 30 elegantly uttered by the
death-devoted Greek, finds deep response in
every thoughtful soul.
When about to yield his young life as a
sacrifice to fate his Clemanthe asks if they
shall meet again, to which he responds: 81
have asked that dreadful question of the
hills that look eternal, of the clear streams
that flow forever, of the stars among whose
fields of azure many raised spirits have
walked in glory. All were dumb. But as
I gaze on thy living face I feel there is
something in love which mantles through
its beauty that cannot wholly perish. We
shall meet again Clemanthe."

A SOUTHERN GENTLEMAN.-Ex-S
Carlisle seems to be a man of real courtesy
of feeling. A newspaper correspondent
says 81 rode down with him from the
Capitol one day in a street car, and when
he had re ached the avenue young negro
girl entered the car. There was no other
seat for her and she grasped the strap as
she looked up and down the benches on
both sides. I was surprised to see Speaker
Carlisle half rise to give his place. A mo
ment later he saw that he could make room
for her beside him, and he crowded the
rest OF US up against the end ard motioned
her to sit down. His treatment of every
one else is On the same democratic basis
His latch string is on the outside to every
body, and any one who wants to see him
can see him at any tims."-Chicago Her

~ am undone," said Will A. Mcconnell
to the clubman of the Chicago Mail. 'It's
like this" he went on. s.Along comes an
old flame of mine last week and stops at
my hotel. I met her-after many years
and the dormant passion blazed forth; the
dead ashes of a forgotten romance glowed
like furnace. Love took me in tow, and
in few days ] was as spoony as regular
society swell. I made four appointments a
day with her in the parlor and drove every
body else out. Day after day we monopO-
lized the parlor until the other boardeTs be-
gan to inquire Of the clerk if the parlor had
been turned into a bridal suite. Finally
felt myself wrought up to the critical point
and was just about to propose, when dinner
time came, and concluded to wait until
afterward. l didn't want to eat; was
dreamily ethereal and light as elder down;
but thought would go down to the din
ing-room and watch my angel at her repast.
l felt SO spirituelle that all materiality
seemed gross, aud l had no doubt whatever
of my ability to float down the stairs like
feather gently settling to the earth. In this
heavenly mood I took my seat at the table
with my fair one, and when the waiter ask
ed me if l would have my regular order l
thought of the tohst and tea I had of late
been ordering, and in rapt, distracted
way I said l would.
81 noticed Frank Upman, the landlord,
beckon the waiter and say something tn
him, but l was in the clouds and didn't
think anything about it. Then the waiter
brought my supper. He cleaned the table
in my neighborhood and began to deposit
dishes around my plate. There wasa plat
ter containing yards and yards of sausage;
there were four pigs feet; there was enough
corned beef and cabbage to feed street
gang, and beans, and hash, and all the I'M
poetic things that anybody ever heard of.
My charmer looked at me aghast as the
waiter piled the dishes up, and finally said:
"Your regular ordeI?'
"What could l say? Upman bad put up
the job on me, but l couldn't establish it.
And now the girl won't look at me. don't
blame her. The idea of a man in love eat
ing like starved bricklayerl Outrageous
And the next day the clerk presented me
with bill for four extra meals"
