It is st; led, however that alter at engin eer allows his timidity to get a i ur hold he seldom so far overcomes it as to have ihu bravery to step on an ex press engine and run it at the speed necessary to make the time. Quite recently an eugineerer on one of the roads leading west flora here get an inipieisioill at sontthing wa to hap pel. to him, and one night, when run mug a I'iiNt express, he constantly lost time. At the first elation where the t.ain slopped the conductor' berated him for running so slow. The an gioeer actually shed tears, and owned that fear had overcome him, and thai he dare not run tact, and at his n re quest an engineer ot a freight train which stood stood at this meeting point was given the train to run through that night, the conductor telegraphing the train master, asking that the request be granted. The timid engineer has a nee run a treighl eu the road. Megro Exodui The Circular.

Tht aid of competent physicians hat been called hi ana every kind of treatment resort ed to, but with no. hopeful result, expert medical men pronounced the ase a hopeless one, and the poor vr wm regarded bv all. and .. h.e. self, as the doomed victim of the areaaiui disease. A lady doctor of renmen skill in tht treatment ot can cer recently visited tie sufferer, bill gave uo word cf encouragement. Alter the hud cant Mary slivd no tears, but resolved upon a dtsperatt and dangerous expedient, and whan tht had resolved speedily carried Ler design into exeuu'.ion.

Somebody said that soldiers werenot, ;is a rule Christian men. "If lie re- penis that remark," sava Teoumseh Slieiman with great indignation, "Pll brain him with a chili aud pin bis in ternal scalp to tht nearest lamp post. It's a great pity if a soldier can't havt credit for his piety as well as other person. I begin to think we shall have lo fight to insure ihe slightest recognition in this particu lar. W hoop hurrah I should like to have the base maligners step on the tail ot my coat. I d show bira in about two miuules that soldiers are piouser than other people, it any thing; and in one minute n ore he would be so injured that he wouldn't have strength to cry for mercy."

Ross, ont of tht Sheriff's party, thrsw up his hands and called for peace. Paying no attention tt tht request, Rusk Holloway began shoot ing. King snd Robertatn ran around tbt house. Just as they turned the corner a bullet struck Kobtrttta. and, throwing up hia handa, he stag gered a few panes acd fell. He was shot through and killed.

N.w York Sun. An interesting Itaiurt of journal iam of tht day is tht grtwtk of tht independent press in Chins. Tht publication of the Snenpao, tht most prominsnt and vigortut tt Chinese native journals, wa begun six years ago in Shanghai. Ths fokio limss say that tffiuiala first aflected to des pise the new venture; then fioding amtng its contributors their own . equals in oulturs snd inttligtnct, they deemed it advisable to rtad. Then tht ofliciala tried to dictate to con vert tbe independent newspaper iott an organ; but tht ctnduclor tf the Shenpao adhered to hit indepndence. Ht tven went st far at lo exposa car tain official derelictions, and tht in culpated magistrate resolved nptn bit suppression. Rut foreign inter ests were envolved in tht newspsper establishment, and the summary tx-. tiuetion ot tht iroublesomt journal, waa found to bt impracticable. It it. even said that the imperial advisers, at Pekin viewed the auocets of tht Shenpat with satisfaction. At any rate, tho authorities of a provinca wert all dismissed from offict after tht Shenpao's txptsurt of, tbt Dial practices. The Shtnpao it ntw engaged in urging tht eupremt sulhority to put so tnd to tbt teorecy with which law ia dispensed, and local power wielded, and revive tho old and ob solete law tf China, which providtt that all judicial cases shsll bt hssrd in open court. Tht Shenpao holds that ths "noblest function tt tht ril ing prtss ef China will sot be fonnd to consist in high flown advocates ot prtgrtss aLd praise ot European manner, practices and inventions, but in its well uirected efforts to check judicial corruption, and oflitisl opprtssion."
