The other day I heard a story of unusual presence of mind. It was toid me by one who had himself receiv? ed it from an officer of one of the great railroads which cross the Alleghaney mountains. ($Therc," said the officer to my in? formant, as both were going about a great central station, where cars and locomotive were made, repaired and kept, "there is the very man. If he wants any favor of the road, he has only to ask for it. The rest of us come and go, but he stays, and may stay, service or no service, till death removes him, The road is grateful to him, and will always hold him in honor." Many years have elapsed since the incident happened, and many since the telling of the tale to my friend. The details and the coloring vary somewhat as they pass from mouth to mouth. No doubt, when you have finished the story you will say, "Why, that is the very thing I would have done myself." But would you have done it ? Here is the story: Puff 1 puff 1 puff ! It was a hard work, for the grade was steep, and the train long and heavy. The en? gine panted as if its strength was failing. And no wonder i For miles and miles up the slopes of the Alle? gheny mountains it had been tugging its precious burden, and there were many miles more before it should reach the summit and tarry awhile to regain its strength. Much of the way was little more than a shelf cut into the mountain sides, with rising walls of rock on the one hand, and deep ravines on the other. And far up among the moun? tains, often on the opposite sides of huge and gloomy chasms, the observ? ant traveler would catch glimpses of what seemed to be the curves and em? bankments of another road. Later he would be himself borne over these very curves. These changing scenes kept the pas? senger in a tremor of half-joyful, half anxious excitement. "How beautiful is that wooded knoll 1" "Shall we ever get to the top of the Ride?" "Down here among the trees! See this pretty caBcade!" "And, here we go through a tun? nel!" "That great boulder looks as if the slightest jar would bring it down upon us!" "What if the roadbed should give way like an avalanche I" "Oh, here comes some trestle work! How frail it looks ! . And what a dizzy height! If it should break under us? oh' dear!" ' Just then a quick, sharp whistle was heard. To those who understood it, it said imperatively: 1 'Down brakes, and be quick about it, too!" Instant? ly the brakemen were straining at their posts as if every life were threat? ened. Indeed, it was their duty on these hard, treacherous grades, to stand by the brakes and use them at a moment's warning. People thrust their heads out of the oar windows, and some hurried to the platforms, and there was a deal of nervous ques? tioning. What was the matter? Had an accident happened? Was there any danger ? Nobody seemed to know. Not even the brakeman were inform? ed. And it was the gift of a blessed Providence that the cause was not re? vealed, else that moment of uncer? tainty and subdued alarm would have been one of anguish and disaster. Far up the road the engineer had caught a glimpse of an awful peril. It was a train of runaway freight cars. For a moment it was in plain sight dashing around a curve; then it was lost in the woods. No engine accom? panied it; there was no sign of life about it. Nowhere on the grade at that time was a down train due. The cars were without control; there was no doubt of it, there was nothing to check their descent; Already they were running furiously. A collision seemed inevitable. The destruction of life would be frightful. ? What should the engineer do ? To stop his train would not mend the situation. To reverse the engine and go the other way?there was hardly time for that. Besides, it would only postpone the certain result, and make it more dreadful because of the increased headway of the runaway cars. The engineer viewed the situation on every side. Plan after plan rose before him; plan after plan was dropped. But it was all done with that wonderful speed which the mind shows when under the stress of a swiftly nearing danger. In wiat brief time the engineer lived hours. Sud? denly there was a ray of hope, a pos? sible plan of safety. "Down brakes 1' he whistled. This was the signal to which we have already called atten? tion; the one which sent a tremor through the hundreds on the train. "Free the engine from the train!" he shouted to the fireman. The en? gine was uncoupled and the train was left lagging behind. "Now jump for your life!" There was no time for parley. The fireman leaped, fell, and scrambled to his feet again. Then the engineer put on full steam. Freed from its burden of coaches, it respon? ded at once. <{Now fight the battle for us !" ex? claimed the engineer, as he sprang from the steps. His quick eye had chosen a favorable spot on which to alight. Though thrown headlong with some force, he was on his feet promptly enough to see his train roll by at a lessening speed under the full control of the faithful brake men. That something serious had hap? pened, or was about to occur, began to be clear to the passengers. One or two had seen the fLeman jump; two or three the engineer; and large num? bers from the car windows had caught snatches of men who. soiled and bruised and dazd, were trying to rise to their feet by the side of the track. All was excinement and tumult. Some began to leap from the cars. Fortunately there was "little danger now, for the motion of the train had near ceased. Up the track, meanwhile, went the iron monster to meet the foe alone. Down the track, in full sight, came the wild freight cars with a speed so great that they almost rose from the rails as they rounded the curves. Nearer and nearer, the speed of each increasing. Then they flew at each other in a mighty, tiger-like rage, as if there was blood to be shed and nerves to be torn asunder. The crash shook the hills. A great roaring cloud of steam burst into the air, while another of dust and debris boiled up and mingled confusedly with it. Then the shattered ends of cars shot out here an there from the smoke, and a grinding, crackling mass rose up. Quivering in the air a mo? ment, it reeled, and then went crash? ing down the* embankment into the ravine below. When the steam and dust cleared away, there were the deep ugly furrows in the roadbed, and the splintered tics, and the bent and broken rails and the nameless fragments of an utter wreck, to mark the scene of the fierce encounter. The j.'"J)jnit engine was a hopeless ruin, but ii had done a noble service. It had fought a battle in which hun? dreds of lives and untold interests were at stake, and it had won it. Not a life of that precious company was lost, not a member of it hurt by so much as a scratch. Before they saw their peril they were rescued from it; and yet their rescue had hardly been completed before the full and awful nature of that peril burst upon them and stirred them in their utmost be? ing. With tears of joy and gratitude they blessed the engineer, whose quick wit and daring plan and instant execution had saved them from a fate which at one moment it seemed be? yond human power to avert. And to the poor locomotive, which lay dis? membered and useless on the rocks below* there went out a kind and tender feeling, as if, in giving its life to save others, it had shown some? thing akin to the love and bravery and sacrifice of a noble human soul.? The Congregationalist. A Florist's Little Lesson There is more wisdom than humor in this clipping from the Detroit Free Press. Perhaps there would be fewer unhappy homes if the advice here set forth was more generally acted upon. He stopped a moment on his way home to look at a florist's window, and the florist, who saw him, ask? ed him inside to see something extra fine. "You don't buy any flowers now ?" said the florist. "No," was the response, given good-naturedly, though it was brief. "And it used to be, a year ago or more, that roses and violets and car? nations and all sorts were a great at? traction to you ?" "Yes; I had a sweetheart then," and the! man blushed and laughed. "You used to take her a flower every time you went to see her, didn't you ?" pursued the inquisitive, kind? ly old florist. "Yes." "And they didn't cost very much as a rule, did they ?" "Oh, no; but that didn't make any difference to her. If I bought them fresh and fragra t, that was enough." "Why don't you take them to her now? Did she choose anothei in your stead?" and the florist's voice was sympathetic. I "Oh, no. I married her a yeair ago." The florist waited a moment, as if thinking. "And you don't love her now?" he asked, cautiously, as if treading on thin ice. "Of course. We are very happy. But you know the flower business doesn't go any more." "Did Bhe ever say so?" asked the florist. "Well?um?er?no, I can't say that she ever did." "Have you ever asked her about it?" "No. I never happened to think of it. Busy, you know, with all sorts of things so much more practi? cal." The florist didn't answer. He went to a pot of roses and violets, and, taking a handful, he handed them over to his late customer. "There," he said, "I give them to yoti in remembrance of old times. You might take them to your wife, and if she doesn't like them bring them back to me." But they never came back. The Lash In Maryland. Fbderiok, Md. , Oct. 5.?"Within forty-eight hours the sheriff will take you to the county jail, iron you to the whipping post and inflict thirty-nine lashes upon your back as hard as he can lay it on." The above sentence was meted out to DanielJones, a prominent farmer of this county yesterday to Judge Mc Sherry of the Circuit Court. Freder? ick county authorities have decided to enforce the law punishing wife beaters with the lash, which still re? mains on the Maryland statute books, although it has not been enforced for nearly ten years. Jones was, a month ago convicted of brutal assault on his wife, prompt? ed by insane jealousy. The woman was so severely injured that she was unable to appear in court. The sen? tence has created the most intense excitement. Jones and his wife are members of old Maryland families, being connected by blood or marriage with many of the most influential people in this portion of the State. Everything that wealth and influence could do to prevent the infliction of the old colonial penalty was done, but without avail. | I The sentence is regarded by medi? cal men as exceedingly severe. It has been the experience in Delaware that from eleven to seventeen lashes cau? ses unconsciousness in a white man, but the sheriff, "nder the law, will be compelled to administer the whole thirty-nine. Jones will be the second white man who has been whipped in Maryland in nearly one hundred years, the other case having occurred in the Baltimore jail about ten years ago. ?

The spokes on the wheels were carefully and accurately striped, and the wagon was splendidly decorated. The boy received aid from no one. ? The renowned Dr. Heylin, in his "Life of King Charles," relates the following extraordinary story of the artistic ability of an old-time knight of the pen : "In the time of the reign cf Queen Elizabeth, one Hoyer wrote the Ten Commandments, the Creed, the Pater Nostcr, the Queen's name and the year of our Lord within a space that could be covered with a penny.

Congressman Strait, who recently left Washington because of sickness and re? turned to bis home in Lancaster, came over to Rock Hill Thursday and remained until yesterday. He is Improving and will return to Washington perhaps on Monday. We called Dr. Strait's attention to tbe telegram from Washington to the Atlanta Constitution, which we reproduce in our columns, stating that it bas developed that Ben Terrell will come to South Carolina for tbe purpose of conferring with tho reform leaders and to mature plans to launch a Tbird Party movemont here. Dr. Strait was emphatic in the statement that he knew nothing of such a scheme to organize tbe Third Party' here, saying that if Terrell were coming for such a purpose be bad nothing to do with it and was not in it. He, however, loft Washington a week ago, and did not know what planR had been matured since he left there. He felt very sure that Cleveland, if be persisted in his courae, would wreck the National Democratic paity and that the South and the West, Democrats and Republicans, would com? bine on an issue of free silver. He did not know whether such a coalition would be called a Third Party or not, but by whatever name it might be styled, it would fight under a banner raised by the National Democratic party when it adopted a free silver platform at Chicago lart year. Te also called his attention to a tele gr* from* Washington to the Augusta -..icte, also reproduced in our col l .ans, detailing a scheme to redistrict the State so as to put ''Charleston in the pine hole." The Doctor disclaimed know? ing anything about such a proposition. He had heard nothing of such a scheme, but know there would be a strong effort made to defeat the re-eleotion of Mr. Brawley. Many prominent men from tbe disttictbad expressed such a deter? mination, but be had not heard them say who they would pit against the incum? bent. Ho did not know what the result would be, but was certain that if Mr. Brawley should be returned it would be after a very hard fight against him. Dr. Strait says there is no likelihood of any appointments being made fn this State for tbe present. Personally he had gone to Postmaster General Bissell and demanded that certain postoffices in his own district should be investigated with a view to securing changes, but his de? mands were ignored. He had then told Mr. Bissell to make such appointments as he saw fit, so they were Democrats, and take the responsibility, but he would not even do that. In the case of the Lancaster office, whore the commission of the Republican postmaster had ex? pired, he had demanded that a change be made, but all to no purpose. At the Rock Hill office he said the Postmaster General bad informed him there would be no change until the com? mission of tbe incumbent had expired. He saw no probability of the South Carolina delegation getting together, but hoped they would be able to do so.? Bock Hill Herald. Five on one Gallows. Atlanta, Ga., September 20.?At noon to-day five negroes were hanged together on one gallows at'Mt.- Vernon, Montgomery County, Ga. Three of them murdered Alexander Peterson, a rich merchant, last July, tbe fourth kill? ed a five-year-old child, and a fifth mur? dered a negro companion. It was the first hanging in Montgomery County since the war. About 1,000 spectators surrounded the scaffold which had been built in a public place. Lucien Manuel, Hiram Brewington and Hiram Jacobs, mulatoes, murdered Alexander Peterson, a white man and merchant, at Riley, Ga., on tbe night of July 20. They shot him to death, their object being to rob bis store. Tbe crime was commited in Mr. Peterson's store. A negro named Gordon fired into the home of a colored man named Barney Neal some time last Bprinjr, killing Neal's daughter. Pearce Strickland, colored, fired into the house of a negro against whom he had a grudge, killing tbe negro's wife. The crime was committed last July, The ages of tho murderers were as follows! Gordon 29, Jacobs 23, Manuel 23, Strickland 20 and Brewington 19. The execution was made a general hol? iday in this section and the railroads brought crowded excursions, composed mostly of negroes. The prisoners wore taken" from the jail shcrtly after 12 o'clock, placed in a wagon and under the escort of about forty deputy sheriffs were driven to tbe scene of the execution some distance away. During the pro? cession the men wero self-possessed showing no signs of fear, and on arrival at the scaffold each of the men took the place assigned to him on the trap. The usual praying and singing occur? red, and two of the men, Gordon and Strickland, had written statements of their lives and crimes read to the crowd while they calmly puffed away at cigars which had been given them by the sher? iff. While the death warrant was being read not a man of them betrayed the slightest nervousness, and when asked by ihe minister if they felt sure of Heaven they all answered in the affir? mative. Just before 2 o'clock the men all bade goodbye to friends in the crowd, the black caps were placed in position, and at 2.02 the five bodies shot towards tho earth. After twenty-one minutes the bodies were cut down, and the medical examination showed that all five necks had been broken by tho fall. Sheriff Dunham and his deputies man? aged the execution without a hitch, and the crowd "was orderly throughout the procoedidngs. Laziness and Divorce. Oat in Kansas City a judge has won something of a notoriety for himself and for the Davis family by granting Mr. Davis a divorce from Mrs. Davis on the ground that she was lazy. Judge Moore in handing down bis decision, said that the woman who did not toil was not to be maintained at the expense of her bus band. This is a horrible precedent, and it has the disadvantage of being a two edged sword. There are a good many men whose futures will be doubtful if lily-like idleness on one part is to bo made a ground for no maintenance on the other. If the views of that Daniel come to judg? ment in the west shou1-* come to prevail in the east, the results would be terrible to contemplate. John, when he found dinner delayed would threaten Mary with di? vorce. "When his buttons were not new? ly Bewed and his socks not neatly darn? ed the word "lazy," thundered in tones of marital anger, would have terrors hitherto undreamed of. But, on the other hand, the gentleman who was sup? ported in luxurious leisure by the dross-making or bonnet-making wife might be roused into at least a semblance of activity, and the man who had mar? ried a fortune might feel a little personal anxiety as to bis future. Perhaps it wouldn't be such a bad idea to re? gard matrimony as a sort of labor con? tract, with wages to cease when work stopped. In Contempt of Court: Columbia, September 27.?Governor Tillman in talking aboutthe arrest of the Richmond and Danville agent at John? ston said that he had no right whatever to regard Judge Simonton's decision as being infallible and ho did not propose to pay any attention to it until the Su? preme Court of the United States decided the question one way or another. Ho has not very much of an opinion of Judge Simonton's views on this subject and ne expects to have a jail full of rail? road agents when the Supreme Court de? cides against Judge Simonton?in the sweet bye and bye. He says that accor? ding to his mind the laws of South Caro? lina have to be carried out until (hoy are decided to bo unconstitutional by some higher authority than a Circuit Judjro. Governor Tillman says that ho expects to continue the arrest of agents where evor he finds that they are deliver? ing liquor contrary to the dispousary law. ?
