RAILROAD SILENCE.

From time immem8rial railroads hav
! made it a point toconeeal every inforuia
tion from the public of wrecks and otlle
iaeoiaents occurring on their lines. The!
gave no reason for the absolute siIgnc
maintained, and persons who had fTicfd
AMI relatives on the train rspartel t,
have been wrecked were left in q stat,
Of uncertainty and anguish until 4
pleased the railroad officials to give ont
information. which meant after n lot o,
red tape had been gone through.
Then, again, the newspaper CORE.
spOndent to whom was assigned the
task Of getting up information regaIsl-
ing the reported accident, went to werk
and interviewed everybody who wo.iId
talk and in nearly every instance the
statemsnts were exaggerated and an in
jury done 70 the railroad company.
Still they had themselves only to Blame,
as when any one connected with the
road was approached and asked partition
lars, the reply, stereotyPed and worn,
came back. Don't know
Any one having had any dealings with
a member of the fourth estate knows the
effect such words produce upon him.
They only goad him on to find out every
thing there is to be found. And the re-
suit! That through no fault Of his the
accounts are greatly Hlaguiied.
After nearly sixty-five years Of mar
row mindedness-the first railway Oper-
ated in the United States being at Homes
dale, Penn, on August 6, IS2g-the Off
cials have come to their senses, and it
had inst dawned upon them that by
withholding information from the press
and public concerning accidents on the
respective roads they leopardized their
own interests.
Nice-President Harahan, of the Hi
nois Central railroad, took the iHitiat0ry
step when he instructed all employees to
give out news Of accidents OF collisions
promptly and readily to the press. Let

of me with my stOvepipe against my
breast. | met her glance, and my blood
froze.
"Ahl" she said to me, "you have come
just in time, NJ. Herbelot. Quick, your
hat"
Before | could stammer out one word
she had taken my hat, so hastily that the
peaches forthwith rolled upon the floor,
carrying my handkerchief and two or
three grape-leaves with them.
You can imagine the tableau. The
dancers laughed in their sleeves at my
theft discontinue; my chief frowned, and
grave men whispered and pointed their
fingers at me, while l felt my knees grow
weak. I longed to sink through the floor
and disappear.
The young lady pressed her lips to-
gether to keep back her laughter, and,
while returning my hat, said, in an iron
ical voice:
"Pick up your peaches, NJ. Herbelot."
Shouts of mirth then resounded from all
parts of the room-even the servants held
their sides. Pale, haggard, and tottering,
l fled, overwhelmed with my disgrace
and so confused that | could hardly find
the door. With dead weight on my
heart 1 hurried away to tell my wife of
my disaster.
The next day the story was all over
town. When | entered my department,
my comrades received me with, "Herbe-
lot, pick up your peaches" | could not
venture into the street without hearing
mocking voices murmur behind me /:

The place was unbearable, and, in a
week, | handed in my resignation.
An uncle of my wife had a farm near
my native village, and L begged nm 10

and we moved to Chauteraine. went
to work resOlutely, rising with the dawn
and never plying myself. 1t would seem
that l was more fitted for agriculture
than pushing, for, in short time, |
became an enthusiastic farmer. The
property did SO well that our uncle, at
his death, willed it to us.

Ashby's Var Horse.

When Ashby had his famous white horse
fatally shot at the bridge just above Mt
Jackson in June, 1862, such was his love
for the gallant gray, that instead Of having
him killed he was led short distance above
New Market and that night he died.
As Banks army was pushing Stonewall
up the Valley as fast as he could, the noble
animal was left where he died close by the
pike.
Southern soldiers cared nothing for the
hunting or keeping of relics at that time
and what they afterwards knew of this pop
ular craze that resulted in such general de-
facement of property, was learned from
their Northern or Yankee friends.
Some weeks after this and the battles of
Cross Keys and Port Republic had been
fought, the cavalry of Ashby again return
ed back upon their late pursuers down the
Valley, but their great and famous leader
was not with them He had fallen at the
head of that splendid body of men, "the
Maryland Line" whilst leading them in
one OF those impetuous charges for which
they became so noted.
As was natural, the cavalry not only
mourned the loss Of their great leader, but
were seriously intent upon a7epging his
death. What then was their surprise and
indignation on their return to find the horse
their General had loved completely despoil-
ed His long wavy name and tail that trail
ed the ground had all gone-been taken as
relics by the Union soldiers and carried
away. Not long since speaking Of this in
the presence of one of the army that follow.
ed Ashby's splendid retreat on that occa.
sion as Union soldier, and the circum-
stances here related, was told by the SOL
dier that he remembered all about it, and
that when it was known that Ashby was
dead, it was a scramble and a rush TO get
the long white hairs from the gray, and
that no doubt some of them were yet kept
as trophies of this great and remarkable
man.-R. C. BrdgOnier.

4 Dutch Pirate.

Brasiliano, the Dutchman expelled
from Brazil at the Portuguese invasion,
being anxious TO get on, "saw no way so
likely to do so as by turning pirate" in
which line he soon distinguished himself.
He feared nothing, avoided no danger
and always went upon the most difficult
enterprises. Vessel after vessel did Bra
ziliano and his friends take, regularly re-
turning to Port Royal to squander away
their gold in every kind of debauchery.
On sea or land nothing could withstand
the valor of the desperadoes. They
shrank from no encounter at any odds,
and their victories were generally marked
by cruelties, with which they tortured the
poor Spaniards after manner shocking
to relate, partly IN order to get more
money; partly, it seems, in mere wanton-
ness of fury.
Whatever they got was, however, spent
in very short time, the pirates being
quickly reduced to beggary. They have
been known to spend 1000 or 1900
pieces in one night. On these occasions
wine literally flowed down the Streets
The successful buccaneers insist upon ev.
cry one partaking of their hospitality
At other times they showered the beverage
about the streets, wettiDg the clothes Of
passers-by, which seemed to them as an
excellent diversion. Some persons object
ed doubtless, but on the whole was con
sidered good for trade. When poverty
on one occasion drove Brasiliano to SCI
again, he, like Bartholomew, was captur
ed while calmly viewing the fort of Cam
peachy. The government determined t.
hang him and his crew, but their captain
had the address to write letter, as from
other pirates, threatening horrid crueltie
to any of the Spanish nation who shoult
ever fall in their hands, and this lette
had the desired effect, so well known wer'
both the courage and cruelty Of the pl
rate community Gentlemaa's Magazine
