The gallant engine was a hopeless
ruin; but it had done a noble service.
1t had fought battle in which hun
dreds of lives and untold interests
were at stake, and it had WON'T. Not
a life of that precious company was
lost. not q member of it hurt by so
much as a scratch. Before they saw
their peril they were rescued from it;
and yet their rescue had hardly been
completed before the full and awful
nature of their peril burst upon them
and stirred them in their inmost be-
ing.
With tears of joy and gratitude
they blessed the engineer. whosC
quick wit and daring plan and In
slant execution saved them from
fate that at one moment it seemed
beyond human power to avert. And
to the poor locomotive that lay dis,
membered and useless on the rockC
below, there went out a kind and
tender feeling, as if, in giving up its
life to save others, it had shoUn
something akin to love and bravery
and sacrifice of a noble human soul.

A Spot That Is Wetter Than
This,

The weeping tree is situated about
one mile east of this place, in a
COW lot owned by Rube Harold.
Mr.. Harold stated to the
News reporter that this phe-
nomenon commenced three years
ago. and it has been actually raining
under this tree necessarily ever since.
In cloudy weather there is always a
heavy mist falling from the tree, but
in hot. dry, sunshiny weather large
drops come down. which would soon
come down, which would soon wet
ones clothing through and through.
The tree has always been proiuse
bearer of leaves until this spring,
when it did not bud out at all, and
now has every appearance of being
dead, although the rain, or whatev-
er one may please TO call it, contin-
ues to iall from the dead branches
as usual.-Howe TEX Cor. Calves

He Hied Him to Solitude.

The brilliant mistress of the most
famous home in all Mississippi once
told me how, when driving along a
country road, she met a forlorn little
old man on an OK cart, onwhich were
piled all his goods and chattels, and
who was manifestly in that state of
transition called movin', "Why,
Siah," said the lady, you surely
are not going away" "Yes, madam,
l suttenly is. l is got my dorgs and
my chillen an my belongings, an I'm
gwine in such of a place whar dey
people amt given to scandalize-
ments." 1t is easy to picture this lit
tie old man getting grayer and gray
er, and older and older with his cart
gradually falling to pieces, his oxen
and dorgs getting yearly moreg ghost
like as he moves from country to
country in search of the place where
the people are not given to scandal

country lady whom l met on a train
the other day. She had been down
to the county seat to pay her taxes
and lay in some stores for Christmas.

the following information in regard to the
movements of the Victoria sealers in the vicin.

their canoes, the Indians along the coast have

and what wealth and prosperity he has brought
to this republic. The people should put his
bronze monument in the capital. Where does
the Great Northern run to? II carries corn and
pork from Sioux City on the Missouri to Duluth
on Lake superior. 1t drains all the wheat from
Minnesota and North Dakota south OF Manitoba
into St Paul and Minneapolis. 1t brings silver
and copper from Butte. II brings out the wheat
from Aberdeen, Huron and Glendale and the
whole Jim river country. and puts it down at
Duluth or St. Paul, and in . few months it
will be at Spokane Falls, Wash, and in the
Palouse country and among the timber at
Puget sound. Wonderful roadl And this has
been done by one mans energy and brain. Mr.
Hill has not been in Warrington begging for an
appropriation. He took the old flag, pinned IL
onto q locomotive, picked ont the good land on
the continent and built railroad to it. He has
added $500 co., 900 to the nation wealth. Cakes

In respect to their States portion of the
money to be distributed under the direct
tax refunding bill passed by the last Con-
gress, the members of the Missouri legisla-
ture have set an example worthy Of general
imitation. As the money cannot be re-
funded to those who originally paid it, the
whole sum has been turned over to the
state university. This insures that it will
rebound to the benefit of the whole state
and the cause of higher education. But
in New York, which through the vigilance
and activity of Governor Hill, was the
first state to claim and obtain its quota,
there has not been, nor is there likely to
be, any foolish squandering Of this fund
in this manner. More likely it will be de-
voted to the education of "the boys" in
the art of evading the new ballot law and
the corrupt practices act.

has not assumed to exercise the preroga-
tives, and the more numerous branch Of
the Legislature denies his right to do 80.
It is an essential feature Of our system
that the government goes on in spite OF
any dispute about SUGGESTIONS to Office.
The state u indestructibie and all of its
constitutional departments are perpetual.
There must be Governor in Connecticut.
Even II the constitution were silent upon
the subject. m incumbent, once constitu-
tionally and lawfully seated, must continue
to perform the functions until the election
and qualification Of his successor. But the
Connecticut constitution Is not silent, but
is clear upon this point and is specific a.
to the mode of qualifying q successor.
That instrument provides that the sue
cessor shall be qualified by declaration
in his favor from the General Assembly,
which comprises both branches of the leg
islaturc, and that in the meantime the in
cumbent shall continue in Office. And
neither the Democratic nor the Republi-
can candidate in the late contest assumes
to exercise the functions, which it is con-
fessed must be exercised by somebody. and
Buckley has continuously exercised them.
In the meantime the Republicans in the
legislature have made numerous offers for
adjudication of the matter by the courts,
all of which have been rejected, and lat
terly Ex-Governor Waller, . Democrat,
proposed to his copartisans a compromise
by which their and the Republican candi-
dates should waive all claims to the Offices
and resubmit the matter to the people, but
this also was as stubborniy rejected.
If Morris. for whom the Office Of Gov
ernor is claimed by the Democrats, had
claimed admission TO the quarters assigned
TO the Governor in the capitol, and Staub
been less indefensible than that which he
pursued. But Judge Morris is gentle
man of high character and standing, and
has peremptorily declined to pursue other
than strictly legitimate and reputable
means for acquiring possession. The act
of the Controller, therefore, could have no
other effect than to vacate the Office, leave
Connecticut without Governor, destroy
an important and . necessary part of her
governmental machinery and create con-
dition Of anarchy. or compel Buckley to
use force in order to perform necessary
duties which nobody else offers to perform.
It would be interesting to take poll Of
all the Democrats in the United States,
and ascertain just how many Of them
would approve of the course pursued by
the representative of their party in this
extraordinary and humiliating proceeding.

A letter dated March Is to gentleman
in this city from relative in Quebec, Cam
ada, says: ION some of our streets the leo
is two feet deep. In many places the win
ter's snow is still three feet deep. It has
been seven feet on level. 1 would hate to
see one drop Of good Yankee blood shed to
acquire the whole of this blasted country"
There need be no apprehension on the lat
ter point. There is no disposition on this
side the line to shed American blood for
any such purpose.
