Everyone has heard,'' said Thorn
as S. Kaine of Denver, Col, "of the
railroad dog, whose exploits have
been recounted in divers places and
by various people. But I will ven
ture to say very few people have ever
heard Of railroad cat, although there
is one out IN my state which is a most
remarkable traveller. It was a spec
ial pet of the wife of the engineer of a
freight locomotive, and it accompan-
les him on every trip he makes
When the train makes one Of it's long
waits at the depot the cat viii go in
search OF fun or mice, and at some of
the most used functions it is quite
local pet. While the engine is run
ming the cat sits in the cab or on the
coal, and as it's fur is jet black, it's
beauty is not greatly impaired by it's
peculiar surroundings. Pussy must
have travelled many thousand miles
for it has been doing duty for several
years and has never been known to
miss trip. The first journey or two
there was much difficulty about keep
ing the animal from jumping eff, but
there is none now, nor does it's owner
bother himself about ascertaining
whether his feline passenger is aboard
Or not. The absolute Indifference OF
cats TO persons and their attachment
to places and environment are seen
in this instance, for when last year
the engineer got injured in wreck
and was laid up for three months, the
cat stayed around the shops until the
engine was repaired and then resum
ed her rides with the substitute en-
gineer"

Beauty can rarely satisfy the hopes
it has raised. One Of the ancients
called it "a short-lived tyranny"
another "a silent fraud;'' and when
we remember the temptations to
which it subjects its possessors, as
We'll as the failure to which it often
leads, the pleasure that seems to at
tend it and the blight that again and
again succeeds, it may not unreason-
able be argued that, notwithstanding
the prediSposition Of mankind in fav-
or of perso nal beauty, the quality has
been overrated, and it is not a gift
which the mother may wisely desire
for her child.
The great disqualification Of beauty
is that it does not usually accompany
brightness Of intellect, q desire to
please and the personal qualities that
have lasting charm. We are aware
that that is bold and sweeping as
sertion, and we admit that il must
make way for numerous exceptions,
but it is upheld as general sta tement
by many observers. In the days Of
the Spectator, when it was the fashion
to notice and write about character
and disposition more freely than now,
Addison, Steele and the rest, gallant
gentlemen as they were, were COM
PEELED to acknowledge again and
again that fthe beauty" was vastly
overrated in q woman.
''The protested beauty is almost as
insuherable as the protested wit" ct
have observed certain cheerfulness
in as bad system of features as was
ever clapped together which hath ap-
peared more lovely than all the
blooming charms Of insolent beauty
That is the tone Of the comments of
these old observers.

The Sweet Old Story.

Tell me about the Master!
am weary and worn tonight,
The day lies behind me in shadow
And only the evening is light!
Light with a radiant glory
That fingers about the West,
My poor heart is aweary, aweary,
And longs like a child for rest
Tell me about the Master!
OF the hills He in loneliness tIod,
When the tears and blood of His anguish
Dropped down on Judea's sod.
For to me LIES seventy mile stones
But sorrowful journey mark;
Rough lies the country before me,
The mountains behind me are dark.
Tell me about the Master!
OF the wrongs He freely forgave:
OF his love and tender compassion,
Of His love that was ghty to save;
For my heart is aweary, aweary,
Of the woes and temptations of life,
Of the error that stalks in the monday,
Of falsehood and malice and strife.
Yet 1 know that whatever of sorrow
Or pain or temptation befall,
The infinite Master had suffered,
And knoweth and pitieth all.
So tell me the sweet old story,
That falls on each wound like balm,
And my heart that was bruised and broken
Shall grow patient and strong and calm

Prosperity has never enriched the
world as adversely has done. The

to us from the minds and hearts of
those who have known no privation,

the fruit of pain, Of weaknsss,o OF trial.
Men have cried out fer emancipation
from the hardship ofbondage, ofeick-

A TEST TARIFF VOTE
Mr. Teller Moves to Lay the Bill on the
Table
The Democrats Staid Solidly Together
Tho Republican Minority.

The interest and significance OF events IN
the Senate today was not confined to Mr..
Germans speech. The playfulness of the
republican replies was equally indicative
of the approaching end of the fight. The
event of the utmost Importance and signifi-
canoe was the test vote brought about by
Mr.. Teller.
Mr.. Teller has been warning his colleagues
that it was useless to hope to defeat the bill
by democratic votes and that the bill must
pass and that delay was merely to the detri-
ment of the public, without any compensa-
tory beneficial results.
This morning the opportunity was afford
ed him to make the test of the solidity Of
the democrats. By a motion to lay the
tariff bill on the table he brought about a
test vote, which he intended should be an
object lesson to those republicans who still
preach flibuster. The motion came as
another surprise Every democrat, even
Hill, voted against laying the bill on the
table. The republicans voted solldly In
favor of the motion, and the populists vot-
ed with the democrats. The vote OF Is to
80 represented a strictly party vote, the
pairs being strictly observed on party lines.

AN ADMINISTER ALTON VICTORY.
How the Nomination OF Oates is Re.
garded by Southern Congrcssmen,

The nomination Of Representative Oates
for governor CT Alabama is not altogether
gratifying to the southern silver men in
among his colleagues in Congress. and
they would naturally be pleased at any
fresh honors he might acquire. In this
particular instance, however, his nomina-
ton is victory for the administration, and
is significant of weakness on the part of
the anti-administration faction of the
south.
1t has been contended, and the contention
controlled the action of most of the south
ern democrats in Congress, that the senti-
ment of the south was overwhelmingly, al
most universally, opposed to the admins
tration on account of Cleveland's financial
policy. 1t was said that no man who voted
against silver in the fight against the Sher-
man bill could go home among the people
in the south and secure an Endorsement;
that the reputation Of the eastern financial
policy would be essen tial to all success in
that section. The campaign throughout the
south was begun by the administra ton and
anti-administration people Immediately
after the repeal of the Sherman law.
Oates voted for the repeal of the Sher-
man law. Later he became alarmed on ac-
count Of what he supposed to be the senti-
ment of his People and voted with the
silver men for the courage of the seignlor-
age, and 1t was given out that when he
went home to look after the nomina ton
for governor he intended to dsavow an
allegiance to the administration, but on
looking over the ground he suddenly came
to a different conclusion, and made his
canvass as a champion of the administra-
ton against the ants, and in this way
won his nomination.

Replying to Senator Morgan's resolution
of the 18th instant concerning violations of
the antitrust law by the sugar trust and
asking whether any steps had been taken

states that on the I'D of May, 1sg2 the

OF the Attorney General, filed in the circuit

pointed, who heard the testimony offered on
behalf of the parties to the suit and re-
ported to the court. Upon the record thus
made up the parties were heard in the cir
cult court on the l9th of January, 1874. and
on the Both the bill was dismissed The

A PENSION FRAUD.
A Widow Frightened Into Paying
Money to an Alleged Claimant.

Money to an Alleged Claimant.
The pension bureau has been advised by
telegram from Special Examiner Julius
Lemkowitz, located at jackson, Miss, of
the conviction Of p. w. Crawford in the
United States court on the charge of per-
sonating a government officer, and that the
offender was sentenced to serve a term OF
three years in the penitentiary and to pay
a fine of $3.50. Crawford. who is a mulatto,
resided at Nashville. Tenn, and was a stu
dent at the Central Law School in that
city.
1t was charged that in September last he
sent for Tener Mcdowell, a widow pen
sioner. who called at his office, when she
was Informed by Crawford that one Bette
Duvall, a daughter OF the soldier by a for
mer marriage, had a right to some of the
pension money which the pensioner had
just received. He notified the pensioner
that he would give her ten minutes to de-
eide the matter. threatened to put her in
Jail. or send her to Washington, and stated
that he was government agent and had
authority from the government in the mat
ter. The pensioner, believing Crawford had
such authority, paid S421 to the daughter,
which amount was one-half of the pension
honey received by her. Crawford received
s120.5O from Bette Duvall, and il was he who
caused her to make the demand on the pen
sioner. by representing to her that she was
entitled to the same, and that he had been
sent from Washington to attend to such
matters. The daughter had no title what
ever to any part Of the pension money.
