I was sitting in a saloon neai a
big express building. "During tho

On Christmas Fve, bearing
Fastward, with the journey so far
lone from 'Frisco, the train drew
out of Yuma, facing the Arizona Desert
in the midst of an astonishing
r b
stornwfif sleet and rain. Yuma
? murks The California line, and there,
as we took on the stage company's
strong box, I counted upon the last
disturbance of the night. I'ntil
daybreak the journey lay through alkali
stretches, where at every 100
miles the train rushes shrieking
through a poor, uncommercial cluster
of huts and halts long enough
for tiie locomotive to take on wa
tor.
"I'nsehoduled stops, however, were
not infrcoucnt at that time, and
there hung within the car a rack of
repeating carbines, charged and primed.
"In taking account of the Yuma
strong box, weighing nearly 200
pounds and 'vouchered' to contain
or.A/win a i .,1 ,....1 n..
I'l Ul'lll, l glilllCl'U III- I III*
carbines. 1 looked again when I
reinembercHl thai the safe contained
as nmeh more.
"I assorted oxpressage, listed 1 >i 11 s
and overhauled tin* carbines as the
train llew and the storm boat, I
knew the route so well that I con id
call the towns and tanks as the engine
whistled or stopped.
" 'Tolteo,' 1 thought, as at midnight
the hoarse whistle began to
sound. 'We pass her with a howdy.
Ts'o, by George! we're going to stop.'
"I opened the door enough to see a
lantern swaying at a small station
and a little group on the platform
surrounding a box, and oveidontly
preparing to put it on board.
''''rumble it in, quick,' I said.
"'A little slow, partner,' replied a
man on the platform. '1 i'sa coffin.'
'A moment later I was alone with
the corpse in a prison as secure as a
tomb, while the wheels roared beneath
and the storm raged outside.
"Somehow 1 was nervous and
couldn't keep my oyos olT t hat coffin.
1 fancied that it. moved and was
slowly r'sing upon end or that it was
preparing an onslaught; then that it
was about to disclose the dead.
"The last of these notions?that
the occupant of the coflin might lib- ,
crate herself?got hold of me and 1 i
couldn't shake it off. The box was
of usual size and exceptionally ill-!
made. The wood was rough, warped
and filled with knots and knot holes, j
All this might easily havo been due!
to the limited facilities of a desert
town. 1 don't know why, but I
couldn't resist turning it over, face'
down. It seemed to me to roll hor-1
ribly.
"Then I imagined I keard a noise
at the car door and at the same moment
a movement in the coffin. I
knew it was foolish, but I rolled the
stage company's strong box, with its
200 pounds of gold, to the coffin and
set it upon the lid toward the larger
end. **"
T|mn 1 lighted my pipe. I noticed
afterward, though I didn't
think of it at the time, that most of
the knot holes toward the head of
the coffin wore covered and sealed by
the Hat iron bottom of the safe.
"Several minutes passed and the

at a wayside cattle town, when suddenly
sofinds began to issue from the;
box. There was a scuffling, a groan-1
ing, a kicking against the sides.
"To say that I was horrified
doesn't express it. The struggle in
the box continued. I staggered to
the gun iack, tore down a carbine,
oocked, aimod and fired it through j
the box ten foot away.
"Muffled shrieks now mingled with ;
the thumping and threshing in the
box. I fired again. The shrieks
were redoubled. I became frantic, i
and shrieked like a lunatic myself,!
while I tired again and again at the;
box until the magazine was exhausted,
and then I rushed to get anothcr.

"Hut tlie pine box was split and
torn; the iron box was slowly crushing
it down. Through gaps in the
wood blood was streaming, and no
sound whatever issued from thecof-,
fin.
"finally a long, deep groan escaped
from the box. Plainly it was a
man's voice. I iiTanagcu to tear;
away the shattered lid. There was i
noeoilln inside, but only the body j
of a man torn with a dozen terrible
wounds.

H'ilmitigton Messenger.
Senator doe Biackburn's revelation
of a scene in a eonunittee room
last. .Inly. It is given in the Wash- j
ington Post Repuhliean. The hat
of Secretary lilaine is conspicuous
feature or figure in the little drama |
?comedy perhaps -that was enact- I
ed. Allison ami Hale, Bads, and
Blackburn were seated. Kntcr t he
Secretary. Then began the fun.
There was nothing up, but Blaine
waded in and began to beat the tar-i
ilT bill at a livelv rate, lie denoune
J
ed it as "an infamy and an outrage."
Ho declared it would carry the "parly
to perdition." lie said that if he
were in the Senate "he would stamp
it under his feet and spit upon it."
He snapped his lingers in the face of
Senator Allison, and then in the
face of Senator Hale and shouted:
"(Jo on with vour driveling idiocy, I
J i
and see to what destruction it will
lead the Republican party. Pass)
this bill, and in '02 there will not he
a man in all the party so beggared
as to accept your nomination for the'
Presidency."
This is excellent, but the best
comes. The good wine is withheld
until the last. The Kentucky Senator
informed the irate Secretary that.,
a bounty for maple sugar had been :
provided. Maine denied, but the
two Radicals confirmed Blackburn's
statement. Now we <piote from the
Post's account:
"I suppose this was done at tho
solicitation of Morrill and Kdmunds?
he inquired.
Mr. Allison replied in theallirma
t i vc.
"It is a good sample of the breadth
of their staloinanship," and the Secretary.
Ami then the climax came. His
new heaver was lying on the table in
easy reach. With a sudden blow he
brought his clenched hand down on
it with such force as to mash it. Hatter
than a pancake, and then, sei/,ing
the battered cluippau, he hurled
it against the wall violently. I never
saw such an embullition. but it
only emphasized the deep earnestness
with which the Secretary argued
against a policy about which his
opinion as then given now seems
prophetic."
When Blaine emcred with his
glossy silk hat mushed and battered
like he had been on ft three week's j
drunk he must have cut a nice figure
on Pennsylvania Avenue? But
was not that a scene? And y?t that;
very fellow made speeches to save j
McKinicy's "bacon" but in vain, and
also oanvassed for the infamous bill
of his party. Let some poet sing
the song of the Hat.

the future of the party: "We shall

Under The Lash of Vengeance. ,
Masbii-lon, Nov. 8.?The roportod
discharge of employees c\f Russet &
Lo. for having voted for John ('?
Warwick has caused great commotion
here. This is a version of it as given
by interested persons:
ltussel & Co. have the largest engine

the world, buildjpg also agricultural
machinery. In sejison 750 men are
employed, and the number never falls
under 500. The firm has never had i

respect it enjoys the highest standing. I
No one has ever accused the ollieers |
of tin; company <>f having exercised
undue iulluenee over the political action
of their employees. I tassel a ;
Co. are avowed protectionist, and
frankly express their belief that a:
vote against protection is a stab at
their interests and at the interests
of their operatives. Since the election
of Mr. Warwick orders were
issued and have been executed by
which the wages of twenty-three
men have been cut 331 per cent.,
not, as it is learned, for voting for
Mr. Warwick, but for having been
offensively active as partisans and
i l i.. .... : i a i i r
uiiuv.iii i<> iin manning ucmi'i' ci
their cmy loyers and theestablishnient ,
in which they wore employed. These
men were not discharged, hut were j
given to understand that as I hey had
labored for free trade they must accept
"free t rade wages," or elsswhere
and most of them chose to leave.
11 igh feeling has of course followed
this act ion, and a committee of prominent
Democrats has been appointed
to confer with the firm and endeavor
to effect an amicabled ajustment.
Secretary Kussell explicitly denies
that the men's wages were reduced
for having voted for Mr. Warwick, i
but he freely acknowledges that it
was done for reasons growing out, of j
the election.

1 Sensible Suggestions About
Sleep.
Dr. (\ ft. Kit/, (lerald is authority
< for the following plain statements
and practical advice about sleep:
? Sleep, to he refreshing, ought to he
* dreamless. During sleep the reason
is in obcyance, and it has been sug1
gosted that dreams are the result of
- the reasoning or controlling center
of the brain being asleep while the
imaginative part is awake. During
. healthy sleep the brain is in an ana*^
mic or comparatively bloodless con(
dition, and sleeplessness is often
, caused by an undue supply of blood
to head, us when t he feet arc cold or
the bruinjis excited. Delicate and
i nervous people should avoid toward
I night brain work or anything likely
to increase the llow of blood to the
( head, such as deep or sensational
reading, or any other excitement,
. pleasurable or the reverse, and
. should try to promote equable ciyeu(|
lation.
I Sleep may often be promoted by
brisk friction of the feet or a hot
water bottle, or by standing up,
walking about the room, or even sitting
upright, for in all these posi:
I illiw till. I.lli/i.l tilllll u t"
v.w.i.j ? i.v I/IVUM uviivin tw ^ukvuaii;
; away from the brain to t.lio lower
extremities. Those who suffer from
a feeble circulation should always
have a hot water bottle at their feet
. at night; to the very young, the aged,
and I he feeble, warmth is almost as
essential as food. The duration of
t he sleep should bo noted accurately,
for there is no point on which ideas j
differ more than as to what constitutes
a good night, some persons
considering th<y have had a bad
night if they wake once or twice
and expecting eight or nine hours
consecutive sleep, while others are
1satisfied with the necessary minimum
uf six hours. If any noise has
to hi* endured at night, such as ticking
of a clock or hammering, sleep,
which otherwise seems hopeless, may
sometimes be induced by counting
the sounds.

I <*ur?liiial Ncwniini' Definition of
"The True Gentleman.'*
The ideas of so polished an ecclesiastic
as the Cardinal Newman in regard
to the characteristics of a true
gentleman form an interesting contribution
to the literature of a much
vexed question, to which nearly every
writer or wouhl-he au thority in the
social world has tried to formulate a
satisfactory answer, lie once wrote
The true gentleman carefully avoids
whatever may cause a jar or a jolt in
the minds of those with whom ho is
| cast. All clashing of opinion or collision
of feeling, all restraint orsus-'
piceon or gloom or resentment, the
great concern being to make every
one at his case and at home. He has
his eves on all his company,* he is
tender toward the bashful, gentle toward
the distant and merciful toward
the absurd. He can recollect to whom
he is speaking. He guards against
unseasonable allusions or topics
which may irritate. Ho is seldom
prominent in conversation and never
wearisome. He makes light of favors
while lie does them, and seems
to he receiving when he is conferring
lie never speaks of himself except
when compelled, never defends himself
by a mere retort. He has no
ears for slander or gossip, is .scrupulous
in imputing motives to those
who interfere with him and interprets
everything for the best. He never
mean or little in his disputes, never
takes unfair advantage, never mistakes
personalties or sharp sayings or
arguments,ori nsinuates evil which he
dare not say out.
Krom a long sighted prudence he
observes the maxiui of tile ancient,
sage, that we should ever conduct
ourselves toward our enemy as if he
were one day be our friend, lie ban
too much sense to he affronted at insults,
he is too well employed to remember
injuries, anil indolent to bear
malice, lie is patient, forbearing
and resigned on philosophical principles;
he submits to pain because it
is inevitable, to bereavement because
it. is irreparable, and to death because
if is destiny. If be engage in controversy
i>f any kind, bis disciplined intellect
preserves him from the blundering
discourtesy of better, perhaps
but less educated minds, wh?, like
blunt weapons, tear and back instead
of cutting clean, who mistake the
point in argument, waste their
strength on triiles, misconceive their
adversary, and leave the ipiestiou
more involved than they find it.
The Wall Street Flurry.
(Philadelphla Itecord.)
There is a new eruption in the
stock market, but it. is only the evidence
of an old rottenness. Some
stocks that have been selling for
more than they are worth are dropping
down to the neighborhood of
actual value. The readjustment has
been precipitated by a tightening of
foreign money markets, to which our
own markets are immediately responsive.
No doubt before the Hurry is
over one set of speculators will ho
hotter off t han they were a week ago,
unci another will hi* just that much
worse off. II is a readjustment conlined
to the Stock Kxehanges, only
affecting legitimate business by its
interruption of ordinary credits in
banking transactions.
Business has seldom been in bettor
condition to stand up and help itself
than at the present time, t)ur heavy
imports, though largely increased in
consequence of the change in tariff
rates, have been fairly met by enormous
exports. There is a plentiful
supply of currency, and an unusual
activity in great manufacturing industeries.
Neither in the business nor in the
political sky is there any portent of
danger. The speculators on the
Stock lOxchanges may havo their up<
and downs. But their troubles are
skin deep; they don't touch the vital
interests of the country except as
[sources of temporary irritation and
annoyance.
