DAILY GAZETTE J. H. KOOCLER, Editor. I'road Mother. If all the mothers of all the birds iMumld happen to meet some day In Hhade or glen. Or where or when. No matter and one should pay: "Which are tho brightest and best of birds'" What would be each proud mother's words Kobin or skylark, wren or crow? "Mine lire the sweetest birds I know!" If all tho mothers of all the Iris And lwys were to meet some day From countries grand Or fur Lapland, No matter and one should say: "Whose are tho sweetest girls and boys, Hpite of their roguish tricks and noise'" I know a mother would whisper true, "Mine are the darlings!" meaning you. Pittsburg Telegraph. Locomotive Engineer!. A practical engineer says, through the JJdroit Free l'rcss: So much has been said of the daunt less courage and self-sacrificing heroism of locomotive engineers, as displayed during the few seconds intervening be tween the discovery of immediate im pending danger and the actual occur rence, that it has become the subject of much annoyance to our profession. During my experience of over ten years as an engineer of both slow and fast trains, on various prominentlines, there has never been, to my knowledge, one accident where the presence of an en gineer, after certain acts have been per formed (unless as a precaution of safe ty,) was not the highest of foolhardi ness, and this in justice to all concerned in the general result. On u passenger train, after the air brakes are applied, the engine reversed and the saint lover open, the presence of a whole cabful of cool-headed, ex perienced engineers would not alter the result one single bit. Now as to the eagle-eyed hero who lias so many lives at his mercy in times when mortal dan ger stares his train in the face. What is the man there for, if not to use every possible exertion to avert impending calamity? is it not the intention of his superiors that he shall take the train safely to its destination, and in passing over his run to use every precaution for safety? We are familiar with and use dailj' methods for saety unknown to the public and not provided for in the reg- I illations of the company. A man who would abandon his engine at the first sight of danger, without first using the means at his command to lessen the re sult, would (save in very exceptional cases) be hooted out of the country. From the very earliest stages in the apprenticeship of an engineer, it is daily brought to his notice that the cor rect and proper thing to do in all eases where a sudden stop is required, is to reverse and open the throttle, using sand to keep the wheels from slipping, and in his usual work on local treignt trains he has it continually in use be fore him, while doing switching, etc. Thus long before he becomes a passen ger engineer it is second nature to him to adopt this method when occasion de mands. In addition to this means all passenger engines are provided with air brakes, and their application be comes from frequent usage quite as me chanical under all circumstances as in the previous mentioned meam provi ded. It takes much less time than those Uninitiated can imagine to accomplish all that is possible for an engineer to do to stop his train; very few seconds suffice, and nearly always he has ample time to jump and save himself from quite probable injury. We who are daily liable to be subjected to the re quirements know the uselessness of running unnecessary risks, andhow few are the thanks we receive from our employers when (and they are the ones we are most concerned in keeping on the right side of) perchance, one of our number, by an error of judgment, suf fers personal injury. If the truth were known, it is not quite freely accepted as a fact, after the usual means to stop have been made, many a good man has gone to his death by reason of being seized with a sort of paralysis, and be ing rendered helpless for the time be ing by the thought of the terrible calamity to follow. It is customary to tell the fireman to jump, and as he can in nowise assist in these emergencies, he usually escapes unhurt. Occasionally on crooked roads col lisions occur so suddenly that both men on the engine are killed without the usual few seconds1 warning, and then it is customary to laud those killed as brave men who went to their death rather than desert their posts of duty, while in reality the poor fellows had only time to feel the sudden choking sensation always present when sudden mortal (longer stares at us. TIip Tottering: Iloute of Lord. It often requires more bravery to make a concession than to stand firm against tierce opposition. Mr. Gladstone has shown such bravery in making conces sions to the Lords to enable them to pass the Land Bill without sacrificing their pride. As the London Daily News said a few days ago, he has the entire confidence of the country and a strong er majority in Parliament than any oth er premier within memory, and yet he refrained from appealing to the coun try to endorse his government and re buke the Lords. lie lias made conces sions, important but, not seriously dam aging to the Land Bill, and thus secur ed its immediate enactment in the Up per House. It will probably receive the royal assent to-day, and be fowarded to Ireland in time to t ake efl'ect there the last of the present week. It is unques tionably better for Ireland to have the immediate advantage of the measure as it now stands than wait another year for a law more nearly in accord with Mr. dlaustone s wishes. But the House of Lords is not strengthened by what some chose to term Mr. Gladstone's sui render. The foundation of that institution is weak, and its weakness is increased by the opposition of the Lords to the will of the people concerning the Land Bill. It is now seen, as it has not before been seen since the reform of 1832, what au thority to thwart the purpose of the government and of the people is lodg ed in the House of Lords. Strong as Mr. Gladstone may bo in public confi dence, he cannot, even with a unani mous House of Commons at his back, accomplish the purpose, of wisest policy if the arristocrats of the House of Lords happen to set themselves against it. The exhibition of this fact made brings ii powerful public sentiment against the Upper House. Ita members are not representatives of the mass of the British people, and they have authority which should be held by none but such representatives. The dissatisfaction is so general and so great that it may fair ly be said that the House of Lords tot ters on its foundation. A great change in its constitutions and membership is to be expected at no remote period. Keening Mail. How Kate Khelly Naved the Train. On last Wednesday night, when O'IS'eil, Donahue, and Olmstead went down to death, a noble girl, but fifteen years of age, was watching for the safe ty of those whose duty called them out over the rauroau in tlie fearful storm. Kate Shelly, whose father was killed on the railroad some years ago, lives with her mother just on the east side of the river, and nearly opposite where the enginemiade the fearful plunge and Donahue and Olmstead lost their lives. Miss Shelby and her mother heard the crash, and realizing what had happen ed, Kate took a lantern and started for the wreck. Her light soon went out, but she felt her way through the woods and fallen timber to the edge of the dashing waters that covered the drown ing men. She could hear, above the roar of the storm, the voice of Wood, the engineer, who had caugtit in a tree top. She knew that tho express, with its load of passengers, was nearly due. She, a young girU was the only living being who could prevent an awful ca tastrophe. The telegraph office at Moingona or Boone was the only place where she could notify the officers. To Boone was five miles over hills and through the woods, and before she could get there the express would have passed. To Moingona was only a mile, but between here and Moingona was the Des Moines River, ten or fifteen feet above its nat ural height, and to cross this she must pass over the railroad bridge, fifty feet above the swaying waters. She must cross a bridge 400 feet long, with noth ing but the tics and rails, the wind blowing a gale. Not one man in a thousand but would have shrunk from utir.li i frutiL-' Hiif. Hiiu Viiviirn crirl tli ered about her her flowing skirts," and on hands and knees crawled oyer the long bridge from tie to tie. With the blood from her lacerated knees staining her dress, she reached the shore, and ran the remaining half mile to the tele graph office. Breathless and in broken accents, sne tolu her story and tainted in the arms of bystanders. The wires were set at work and a more horrible disaster was averted. Oyden Seporter.
