An Irish Legend.

Among the legends of ireland is this
beautiful and suggestive myth-the
islands of life and death. In a certain
lake in Munster there were two islands.
Into the first death could never enter.
hut age and sickness and the wcari-
ness of life and the paroxysms of fear
full suffering all were there known.
and they did their work till the in
habitantS. tired of Immortality. learned
to look upon the opposite island rs
upon a haven of rcpOsc. They launched
their barks upon the gloomy waters:
they touched its shore and they were
at rest. This legend represents with
pathetic fidelity the sad Erin Of to-day,
looking over TO Atlantis across the sea
America, the havcl of reposc. tho
shores of rest. OF the 100000 of
Irish people now left in Ireland it is
safe TO say so per cent. have an am
bition some day to see the land of the
free and the home of Yankee Doodle.

g of n Train

\ writer in the Railray Age says
The simplest WAY 10 note the speed
of a train is TO count the rythmical
.chuck-chuck of the wheels as they
pass Owe the rail joints. As all rails
arc now made 80 feet long the rule is:
The number of joints passed over in
twenty seconds is equal to the rate of
speed in miles per hour. This rule
will work on all roads but those hav-
ing a perfect track where The wheels:
pass noisclessly over the joints: but
: nearly all roads are not perfect.
many of them far from it. the above
is a good practical one. If you have
any trouble in catching the sound sit
by an open window or stand on the
platform. The method also has the
advantage that You need not take your
ewes off the watch dial i'm order to
catch the fccting mile posts"

Life After Forty.

The hest half of life is in front of
the man of 10. if he be anything of II
man. The work he will do will be
done by the hand of Il master. and
not OF a raw apprentice. The trained
intellect does not see lien as trees
walking" but sees everything clearly
and in just measure. The trained
temper does not rush at work like a
blind bull at a haystack, but advaces
with the calm and ordered pace of
conscious power and deliberate de-
termination. To no ina is the world
so new and the future so fresh as TO
him who has spent the early years of
his manhood in striving TO under
stand the deeper problems of science
and life. aud who has made some
Roadway toward comprchcnding
them. To him the commonest things
are rare and wonderful, both in them
selves and as parts of a beautiful and
intelligent whole. Such a thing as
talcnesss in life aud its duties he can
not understand. knowledge is always
opening out before him in wider cx-
panses and moro commanding heights.
The pleasure of growing knowledge
and increasing power makes every
year of his life happier and more
hopeful than the last.

Few people III this part Of the couu-
try have any idea of the difficulty of
finding a mine. A man who follows
it for a living must thoroughly under
stand the nature of the district in
which he is. Different sorts of mines
are found in different ways. says a
writer i'm the st. Louis Globe Democrat.
If you are in a placer district, of
course, you have nothing to do except
to walk along n stream. with a pan in
your hand, and test the soil by wash
ing till you come to pay dirt. But if
you know nothing about it you will
waste a great deal of time testing dirt
that an experienced prospector would
know at a glance contained no good.
In a true fi>lIurc or contact district
the experienced prospectOr will walk
along the bottom of the gulches look

to find the mine far up the mountain
side. The float is vein matter which
breaks off with the settling OF the
mountain and rolls down its sides.

with the district knows il at once, and
when he finds it climbs the mountain

wNli Railroad Ordinance Pass?
Editor Dem0cFut:
The question is repeatedly asked and
as often answered and in nearly every
instance. answered in the affirmative.
by those who profess to know.
The ordinance is arousing quite an
interest among the citizens. aud there
can be no question but il should
from the tact il is of much more i'm
portance TO the city than its length
would imply.
There arc questions of considerable
importance which should be calmly
and di>pasSiOnately investigated. not
partially-but fully and freely-not
with the view of preventing any rail-
road from coming into our city. but
to protect our city and her citizens
from Inconvenience and damage which
is SURE TO result from building a rail-
road along and across any streets or
along the Levee front. 1t behOOves
lis then as good citizens. having the
welfare of our city and her citizens in
view, to fully and freely investigate
the results of permitting any railroad
company TO build into and through
our city with the privileges as granted
in the ordinance which has been pre-
scented and passed the lirst reading in
the Council.
The idea of merely passing an or
dinance permitting a railroad to enter
our city and another idea of passing
an ordnance permitting Il railroad to
enter our city. and at the same time.
fully protecting II city and its citi-
zens in all their just and legal rights.
are quite different. The ordinance as
presented TO the Council. is one which
will bear the closest scrutiny. Its four
little sections imply everything for the
road desiring 10 enter the city and
nothing for the city and its citizens.
There is not a single protection TO the
citizens on these streets. not Il single
protection tn the merchants doing bus
mess on the L.evce. or the citizens pro-
posing to transact business with pass
ing steamers-in fact no protection
except al the street corners. and these
are decidedly meagrc indccd-and the
whole subject matter looms up in gil
gantic structure-all for Jay Gould.
and nothing for the people.

The Next Mayor.
Editor Democrat:

I@''f'f
Since the Era. backed by its Main
street syndicate, is attempting to di-
rect who shall be Mayor. and at the
same time giving the Germans and
coIorcd citizens continuous complaints
of unsavory character, it will be well
to inform the Era man that Main
street and Main street influence has
run the town for years, and the time
has now arrived for a change, and to
please the Era man. we, citizens of the
Second and Third Wards. nominate
our worthy Councilman and fellow
citizen. William Regcnhardt, as our
candidate for Mayor, and if he will
accept, we r pleased 10 state that
his friends will place him in the May

jority. Let the people be heard, and
Main street influence in our city at
fairs will be more limited.

The Railroad Ordinance.
Editor Democrat:

EHttOf DeWOcJUt
Articles have appeared in print
from time to time calling attention TO
the railroad ordinance which is now
before the City Council. and argu-
nlcnts have been presented pro and
ron, hut not sufficient. in INV judy
mcnt. TO fully illustrate the actual con-
dition of affairs: should another rail-
road be permitted to traverse our riv-
cr front from the southern TO the
northern limits of the city?
There is n conclusive and unqucs-
tiOnably a correct idca prevalent with
vi citizens that We should have more
railroad facilities, but there cannot be
a conclusive idea that the city's birth
right should be bargained and sold to
accomplish this end.
1t is certainly plainly evident to all
citizens OF mature reflection, that the
railroad now asking a franchise. with
others, will, in due course of time,
reach our city, with only fair and hon.
Orable concessions to all concerned.
In my judgment. and certainly in
the judgment of all fair minded citi-
Zcns. the time has not arrived in which
the city should sell her birthright for
a mess of pOttagc'-in other words,
that time has not arrived when the
city should grant an ordinance such
as is now before the Council. or such
rs is likely to be before it. in behalf
of the company now seeking admit
lance TO the city, provided it is left
to the company's dictation.) thereby
entailing vexatious trouble and enor-
nous expense in defending the nu-
merous lawsuits brought against her
for damage.
The city, as well as a portion Of our
citizens, will be sorely vexcd, and they
should be fully protected.
Section three of this remarkable
ordinance would appear to a casual
observer as q protection to the city,
while in fact it is q cloak to hide from
the un~suspecting citizen the real facts
in the case.
In this remarkable section three,
and really in no other part of the Or
dinance has the city the least protec-
ton or control, except, perhaps. at the
street corners, and even in this the
is vague, and to the citizen
uncertain.
The citizens need not think. il the |
present ordinance or any similar one
passes the Council. and jay Gould
builds according 10 that ordinance
through our city and damages twen-
ty, thirty Or fifty citizens, that they
will bring suit against him or
his company. This will not be done.
Each and every one will bring suit
the city, anu the city treasury
will foot the bill.
In fact, if the railroad is permitted
TO come into the city oil the proposed
route the lawsuits will be continuous.
One will be ended another begun.
The fact is. the city long since let
the cat out of the bag SO far as the
front is concerned. and she can't
put another in it and let it out with
out much expense and trouble.
One thing is certain, if another rail
road is permitted to cross the Levee
and have its depots and yards above
it. the business now conducted on the
levce would be seriously injured, the
traffic with river steamers would de-
cline, great thoroughfare-the
Mississippi River-would be nearly
obliterated from our map of business
