Describing a Railroad.

The Pail Mall Gazette in 1890 asked
it's readers to name the worst railway
in England. And one English kicker
answered thus: "Sir-The Southeastern
railway is the very worst railway in
the world. The engines are asthmatfc.
It's lamps are trimmed by foolish vir-
gins. It's fares are excessive. It's car
riages let in the snow in winter and
are furnaces in summer. It's motto is
unpunctuality. It's principal station is
approached through the neck Of bot
tie. 1t ruins the temper, destroys the
digestion and enables one to realize the
horrors of Dante's Inferno | am,

It was not q modern American writ,

everything. They are in awe of no.

Ghost of John DietZ.

The ghost of John f. DietZ, the re-
doubtable holder of Cameron dam, has
been stalking athwart the legislative
vision now. The name of the alleged
outlaw of the Thornapple promises to
become tradition in the annals Of the
state, perhaps the subject Of song and
story for generations to come. Legis-
lators as We'll as state and federal au-
thorities have now seen the bogie and
are equally unable to lay it.
The resolution for a legislative in
vestigation Of the now famous case
was at first taken as pretty much Of
a joke and was killed in the assembly
But, as if in remorse at its levity,
the assembly reconsidered its action
and may yet vote in favor Of sending
a committee to visit the famous
woodsman and hear his tale Of injus-
tice and persecution by the lumber
corporations. 1t is altogether unlike
1y. however. that any such investga-
ton will be ordered and the holder of
Cameron dam will probably remain
undisturbed 4. O. BARTON.
