In coming down Lizard Lake hill
with a sleigh load of passengers Mon
day evening. the off horse broke
through the snow and fell down the
bank. Had it not been for the rare
presence of mind of driver Shaw the
sleigh and its load would have gone
over the steep embanlment. This hill
is at all times dangerous, but much
more so when covered with Snow and
ice, as it is now.

Thursday, the 10Th instant, was a
historical day for Redstone. After the
severest snow storm in two winter sea-
sons, the sun of an Italian sky shone
esplendently. About two O'Clock in
the afternoon the whistles of Nos. 10l
and 1O2 were heard from around the
nearby curves of the High Line, and
very soon came in view. Redstone
saw 102 with the great rotary in tow
sailing majestically down the grade:
101 following with the snow hange and
six cars, containing 150 tons of coal
from the Basin. Snowslides were like
so much chaff to the great machine
built designedly to overcome them. The
sapient pessimist who for some time
has been in his glory, could not be in
terviewed: and the railroad experts
far and near who declared the impos-
sibility and the impracticability of a
railroad line of such curvature as the
Coal Basin branch, have not now a
peg to hang on. We congratulate the

The Negro's Salvation.

Coupled with the effort to save the
souls of the colored people OF the
South should be the effort to teach
them how to provide for their ma
terial wants. The accumulation of
property is the stepping stane by which
the colored man can alone expect to
secure respect and actual independ-
ence. Money talks just as loud for a
black as for a white man Hereditary
influence. environment and climate
make the black man shiftless and lazy
and an easy victim Of the white mans
cupidity. Just as soon as Sambo be-
comes a landowner and has a bank ac-
count his political and social rights
will be accorded to him without seek
ing. From a purely scientific stand
point nothing would help the colored
race like an infusion Of irish or Scandi-
navian blood-a tonic which would
tend to make them scrappy and indus
tdiOus.

September DAYS.

From the day when the first faint
flush of color is seen on the south side
of the big maple down by the creek in
the pasture lot until the last of the In
dian summer days in November is the
most delightful season of the whole
year for the north country. AS the sea-
sons come and go they bring with them
no days laden with so much of tender
grace, sentiment and rare beauty as
these, when the mysterious transition
takes place from the opulent and trop-
ical summer to the days which mark
the decline OF the year, when highway
and field are robed in the regal green
and gold of the harvest time. Full OF
hope. new life and activity arc the
resurrection days Of the spring. Still.
they painfully suggest the endless toll
and endeavor OF working. plant
ing, building, toiling These merge in
to the torrid. forceful electric summer
days. when nature is in majectic
powerful and tempestuous mood :.
when lightning flash, destroying flood
and cyclones path mutilate and mar
the face of nature and the work OF
man. Then comes change; the ele-
mental war subsidies, and one day by
the roadside you see the goldenrod in
bloom. and seeing it there comes TO
you delightful sense that the strife
is over, that nature is at last in a quiet
and restful mood, and you enjoy in a
dreamy, happy way, just as the sick
who peacefully rest after the pain
and agony OF a disease that has at last
been broken and subdued These are
the days of recompense Nature now
distributes her prizes. pays out her div
idends. The bending boughs of the or
chard. the great stacks of grain and
hay. the gable and cackle of the well
stocked poultry yard. all the ripened
products of farm. orchard and garden.
suggest rewarded toll and labor's
recompense. May the beautiful story
told each year by the goldenrod Of the
field foreshadow for us all goldenrod
days as we pass into the autumn time
OF life, and with its rest and peace may
there com ca fruitful and abundant
harvest. a rich reward for the toll and
cndeavor of the summer days of life
forever gone
