come and make him feel that here, If
anywhere ON earth, he is at home. And
here the battalion surgeon and the fam

soldiers as our soldiers look In the field
of their sternest service, her sisterly
pride in her big brother is beautiful to

somehow or other, though he comes to

as though by common consent. that
corner of the big parlor is given up to
those two. the tall, stalwart trooper and
the slender, willowy girl. And one
evening he comes earlier than usual in
manifest discomposure, and soon 1t

radiant only until she catches sight of
her sisters face. 1t is not go very
warm an evening, yet she marshals the
household out on the steps, out on the
back veranda-anywhere out of that
parlor, where, just as the FAINT notes of
the trumpets are heard sounding their
martial tattoo, and just as Lienten-
ant Wing, returning from tiptoed
visit to his sleeping boy and escaped
for the moment from the vigilance of
his wife, now happens to go blundering
in-there is heard from the dimly ligat-
ed corner near the piano the sound OF
subdued sobbing, the sound of deep,
manly voice, low, soothing, wondrously
happy, the sound-a sound-indescrib-
able in appropriate English, yet never
misunderstood sound at which Wing
halts short, pauses one instant irreso-
lutte, then faces about and goes tipto-

vestibule lamps, into the brilliant
CLEAN Of his fond wife's questioning,
reproachful eyes.
And for all answer, it being perhaps
too public spot for other demonstra-

That night, under the ssching roof OF
the great railway station, the comrades,
so long united by the ties of such re-

only by years of danger and hardship
borne in common, and now SO happily

An invention of considerable value In
railroad construction and Of great interest
is anew spike. With the usual shaped head
it has indentations at the sides and barbs
or notches OF intervals. The purpose of
these is to hold the spike firmly in place
When driven into the wood, the f1bers,
which ore ordinarily damp, will swell and
fill the indentations or grooved spaces and
win hold the spike firmly in place. The
tenacity of the new style as compared with
the old plain spike is almost as great as
the difference between nail and screw.
By the use of the improved spike the dam
gers Of railway travel are greatly decreased,
as accidents from spreading Of the rails ars
said to be almost impossible.-New YORK

Women In New zealand.

A recent letter from New Zealand saye:
"I have travelled in many countries, but
in no other land have seen the courtesy
and unobtrusive chivalry habitually exhib-
itcd to women, whether young or old, by
New Zealand young men of every condi-
tion and rank The status of New Zea-
land woman Is considerably higher than
that of her sister In Australia or England,
and she is not likely to forget that she
gained the political franchise not by in
advertence or by party scheming, but as o
deliberate aot Of justice no less than ohiv-
airy on the part Of her countrymen."

violence has been attempted today by the
strikers at Eagle, but the presenLe of the
Pinkertons and the fact that Col Wyant
is not confined at Fayetteville, as sup
posed, add to the excitement of the strik-
ers. Fears are expressed for the safety
of Wyant and the militia. The formers
home is on the railroad and IS the head
quarters for the officers Each passing
freight is loaded with strikers, and n
bomb could he easily thrown into the

been communicated to the governor, and

the trains. This is almost impossible. and
il carried out is almost certain to result
in the destruction of Chesapeake & Ohio

the senate do not come directly from
the people, but are elected by repre-
sentatives of the body polite, they
are supposed to be the more careful

of the rebellion the Republican party
has maintained the integrity of the

Daring Plan of H,ghwaymen.


GAINESVILLE, Tex, March Ga most
daring but unsuccessful attempt to
wreck aud rob passenger and express
train on the Gulf. Colorado 6 Santa Fe
road was made at II o'clock this morn
ing. The scene of the attempt was a
lonely stretch of track along high em-
bankmeut, three miles north of Paul's
Valley, L. T., and 80 miles north of
Gainesville. Two large piles of ties
were placed upon the track. 100 feet dis
tance from each other The passenger
train was due there at 2:45. and had 1t
struck the obstruction nothing could
have prevented q terrible wreck and a
great loss of life. Fortunately, SOUTH
bound special train bad been ordered 10
make a siding beyond the valley be-
fore the arrival of the passenger. 1t
came thunderIng along the rails and
crashed into the pile of ties intended for
the express. The engine was deraiied
and the tender, followed by four freight
cars, went crashing over the 40-foot en-
bankment into the ravine below. The
engineer, fireman and head brakeman
jumped in time to save their lives, and
escaped with few bruises. It is sup
posed that the men who put the ties on
the track did 80 with the purpose of rob-
blng the express car, and when they saw
their plans had miscarried, lett the vicin
ity. News of the disaster was tele
graphed to the city from Psul's Valley,

posse took special train to the scene
OF the wreck and will pursue the BAN

the attempt was made. and it is known
that at least eight men were engaged In
the enterprise.
