Heroic work by n Young Girl.

Helen Patched, the 14-year old daugh.
ter of Charles w. Patchell, n we'll known
citizen of Darby, proved herself Il hero
inc yesterday. Alighting from the noo.,
train Mt Boone station, Miss Patched
paused to allow an express train to pass
on the opposite track. She held by the
hand the 5-year-old son of Edward Kirk
patrick, Mr.. Patchcll's partner.
AS the train Numbered through the
tunnel and swept under II bridge less
than hundred yards away she saw her
own baby brother and sister run down
to meet her and stop on the track in the
face of the approaching train.
An instants delay meant death TO
both. If she attempted to rescue them,
she herself and the little boy might be
ground under the engine. The engine
whistle shrieked, and the heavy train
rushed on. The great wheels, pulling
the fastest train on the road, were count
ing off 20 miles an hour.
While the neighbors rushed to their
doors, alarmed by the whistle, and stood
horror stricken. Miss Helen never hes
itated, but dragging the little boy across
the tracks she pushed her brother and
her sister from the rails upon the plat
form and scrambled up herself with the
boy. The engine dashed by, sweeping
aside the dress of the brave girl, and the
suction of the train drew her almost un-
der the wheels.
So close was the escape of the little
party that the mother of the girl, who
was witness of the episode, and the
servants on the lawn turned AWAY their
heads, thinking that all would be ground
to pieces by the engine. Chester Cor.

OPINIONS ON IM4IGRArIoy.


Notwithstanding the interest now at
taching to the organization OF state gov
ernments, the election of United States
senators and other important occur
rences at the capitals of the various
commemorative, the debates on immi-
grafton at Washington bends the public
mind very closely to that matter. Joined
with .shis debate is the notable series of
articles appearing in the magazines
which give the best arguments very
tersely and in the language Of men who
have studied the situation with care. In
this serious discussion so auspiciously
begun the distinguished senator's at
Washington can learn much that will be
Of value to them. We find Senator Mills
declaring in congress that the immigra-
ton bill sis not intended to prevent the
spread OF cholera, but to prevent the
spread of the democratic party" While
the suspicious senators are thus search
ing for partisan motives in the actions
of their political opponents with regard
to this great question, other able gentle
men furnish arguments to the country
seeking only to establish truth, and
east out error.
Many students of the question will
hnd a new and curious aspect of the sub
jeet In certain side-lights thrown upon
it from Europe. The movement here to
restrict immigration has its counterpart
Hungary to restrict emigration. The
governments of these two countries have
manifested marked objection to the in
crease in the number of outgoing ma
tives. The reichsrath has recently
adopted several stringent measures Of
restriction. Apparently these measures
are made not with view to stop this
rapid depopulation so much as to pro-
tect the emigrants themselves. One
enactment of the reichsrath provides,
for instance. that "any person who pro-
notes emigration by false pretenses is
liable to imprisonment for period vary
ing from one month to two years and to
= fine which may amount to 1000 flor
ins."
The justice of the enactment is more
apparent when attention is called to a
report spread through Europe of SOC
Dutch coloDists who came here to take
lands in Colorado which they had pur.
chased of an enigrant agent. There
were no such lands and the agent wat
simply an ingenious confidence man
Such restrictions do not look to any
general limitation of emigration, but
there are indications that the foreign
fer of their citizens to this country thar
are some Americans. If this sentiment
is to grow on both sides it will be inter
esting to see how far political authorit,
can prevail against the wishes of indi
viduals seeking country where oppor
tunities are more free.
