Au U0grateful Railroad. Jones had heard about a widow who had saved a train of oars from destrution by- warning the engineer, as the train approached, that a oer tain bridge had been washod away ; and who was liberally rewarded, re coiving a pass for life on nearly all the raflroadp in this country, 'and q'pres. ent of ten thousand dollars from the company. whose train she saved 1 ad Joruos thought it pretty profitable bu siness, and concluded he'd try. it' Ile lived near-a railroad bridge, and he anialously watched and waited for it to wash away, feeling 'sure that it must go sometime. Every rainy .night hjo got up aid paced the floor by ;pells, then took his umbrella and went dut to see if the bridge was be ginning to go ; but it was not gone. At last lie concluded that If an sa oident,would not happen of its own no cord, he would make one to order, so he got upon a high bank at the side of the track one afternoon, and rolled a big stone down upon the rails. It was just a few minutes before the lightning express was due, and throw. ing off his coat and hat, so as to ap pear as excited as possible he went forth to meet it. lie saw it coming In the di-tance, so he tied a red cot ton handkerchief to a hoe handle and I waved it above his head in a wild, ex, cited manner, as a signal of danger. But he presented such a singular ap pearanue that the engineer thought him-' a crazy man, escaped from a neighboring lunatio psylum, and so' paid no hoed to hin, and the train thundered on. There was a sudden whistle of "down breaks," a tapid reversing of the engine, then a terrible crash. The train was wrecked ; the engineer and fireman were instantly killed I the conductor and all the brakemen dangerously, if rot fatally wounded ; and abolit ten per cent, of the passen gers horribly mangled. Jones didn't get a pass for life on the principal railroads of the country and a purse of $10,000, but he got ten years in the Penitentiary for manslaughter, having been seen by a neighbor when in the net of rolling the rock on the track which caused the calamity. And now lie is learning to manu facture shoes by the original process, and is of the opinion that railroads are a curse to the country. Tile Crops In louthWestern Ucargia. The Albany News, of the 24th ult,, says: We are plensed to learn that the draught in this locality has done no serious injury to the corn crop. It is too early yet for corn to be hurt much by (Iry weather. Cotton that is up is doing fery well, but a vast deal was planted just as the drdath set in, and the moisturo that sprouted the seed dried away- before the tender shoot could escape, and there is now no hope of its cotring at all. In consequence of this, the acreage to be cultivated is otit short materially, Gardens are ruined, and vegetables are as scarce as Radioal honesty. Within the last week pretty good rains'have fallen all around ts, but this point contintres dry and dusty. The Ibawson Journal says: "In con-. versin g with a few intelligetit farmers we find that the corn and cotton crops are not Eo unpromaling as 'we were wont to believe. 'I'hey contend that where the ground was properly pre. pared and planted before the drouth set in, erops have niot suffered, and crops that are suffering are these planted In lands that were niot thoroughly p)repared, and the seed dlid not come up until after the dronth set in.'" l'nit in Down;.

Because-Firstly. It was not "our homination." Secondly. Because "Othollo's ocoupation isgono" if that ticket be adopted by the Democracy -its success beipg thea assured-for the World has all the little influence and success of which it can boast through the popular error it has propagated outside pf New York city, that is the organ of the Now York Democracy.

Hone its hysterical terrors at his adoption by the Democracy, and. determination to destroy him, even at the cost of our four years more of Grant. Thirdly. Because,'even supposing Grant shorld not reward so signal a service, its position as organ, even of a defeated Democracy, would be preferable to grinding a street-organ, to which no one would listen. Fourtbly. Because the members of the Liberal Reform party never advised with, consulted, or trusted a journal which has always done more harm than good to the party whose side it espoused, and which has always failed its friends in great emergen. cies, and fired into its own ranks, as it did in 1868. For these reasons, doubtless good and suffioient to itself, the World has practically gone over to the enemy, and is doing all It can to strangle the combination which alone can prevent the suicide of the Democracy and prevent the ro-eloc tion of Grant. W3 do not complain of its opposi tion, for its support only is damag. uing ; but we ask that it should not oist one flag and really fight under another.-Now York News. A day or two since, Wm.

Cooper, United States Revenue Collector for this District, that during his absencoeome one had left a barrel of whiskey at his place of business, and as it was unstamped, and he didn't wish to get into any trouble, he hoped the Gen oral would send down and remove it. This was enough for the collector, and, accompanie-t by a deputy, Gen. Cooper proceeded to board's store aNd asked to be shown "that barrel of whiskey." Mr. Beard, with a twinkle in his eye, pointed to a fellow snoring in a corner, dead drunk, and told him that was the whiskey he meant, as he judged from his adapta bility to Inebriety that he would hold xbout a barrel.

With the abundance of manufaotur. lng facilities offered in the South, and more especially in this State, anything said abroad sonerning the same, taust necessarily be of interest to those who give the subject theit attention at home, John W. Forney in the Philadel phia Press of the 20th instant, writes as follows i "Hitherto, it in said that less than one fifteenth of the cotton crop has been worked up In South ern factories. Yet water power and coal abound in the cotton district, and if the proper effort were made, skilled labor and capital could be ob tained there as easily as elsewhere, and by thus bringing tho factory and the plantation together a large item in the cost of transportation is saved. The time is coming when one-third, if not one-half of the cotton of the Soth will be mande into yarns, at least, in that section, and, when it does come, what has been the poorest portion or tue country will become the richest. Stimulated by the great ly increased home market for food, grain farming and grazing will then be no less protitable than cotton grow. ing. Thus there will be a practical diversity of Industries with its resulting prowperity, and there will be no longer an excuse for ex hausting and abandoning to a worso than their primitive wildness whole tracts of land. Let but the ottbern people gene' rally be stirred by thit industrial awakening, eschewing the rancors of polities, except to see that neither demagogues :nor carpet-bag adventu rers misrepresent them, and a glorious future awaits thom-an area of wealth, business activity, peace and good feeling, which shall consign to a per. petuat oblivion the distraction, desolation and bitter hatred which resulted from the war." A Monster Bird in California. Last Tuesday evening about seven o'elock, says the Winnemucca (Cal.) Register of August 9, the people in the lower town were startled by the sud den appearance of a huge monster we are at a loss to know whether to call fowl or beast, notwithstanding it had wings and could fly. It was certainly the biggest creature ever seen in this country with feathers. If a bird, it. belongs to a giant species unknown to American ornithology. Our atten. tibn was first attracted by hearing sothe one sig out, "Holy Mother, see that cow Wih wings," We stepped tothe door just in time to see the monster alight with something of a crash on the the roof of Mrs. Collier's dwelling house, whmre it remained for several minutes taking a quiet survey of the land and the astonished multi tudO who stood gafing at that uner peoted visitor. It could not have weighed less than seventy or one hun dred pounds, with a pair of ponderous wings, which when stretched- out to the breeze, must have been fully twelve feet from tip to tip. Its color was that of a raven, with the excepA tion that the tips of the wing and tail were white, An "old salt" who hap' pEned to get sight of the bird thinks he mustb ha renegade member of the condor family. He says he has fre quently met with suoh "critters'1 on the coast of South America. TI.here was always .something irro. sistibly comic In the story they used to tell atbout a foppish passenger on a Mississippi boat, 'who 'juut for a little fun" jumped on shore at a landd lng, and drawing a bowie knife, rush ed up to a gawky looking fellow at a wood pile, ceolaiming "I've fouud yoU at last-you're the man i've been looking for." The gawky looked at him for a half a second, and then straightened otit his arm like a jib. boon, and knocked the fellow overd board into ten feet of water. lied suming his position against the wood pile, he .drawled out :" *1s there anybody else on this boat looking for me 19 Two worthies, rather fond of their bottle, retired frotm their regular house of call to,pfield, one evening, and sat down ob, beuch to enjoy their favorite bove be alonie, hating previously supplied ea .selves with a fair sloek. Aftt imbibing it pretty freely they both fell fast Ssleep. About midnight one of them got up. f or the purpose of retiring ; but not knowing his whereabouts very well, wandered about for a white, and then stumbled upon his companion, whom he awoke, remarking a "&urely this Is s awful size room for I cannot find the door, and I've been looking fqt it more than an hour." "I ears nothing about the se of the room," hiecoughed his comnpan ion, "but one thing see,"~ lookingup"tha tremendous ceiling." ha The local is ntot responsible for this.
