CONGRESSMAN CRANES PERILOUS PEAT AS AN ENGINEER. Congressman trane, of Texas, was in high good glee, spinning yarns to a coterie of mem lien. "In my young days," said the con Kressinan, " was an engineer on the Sant.-t Fe railroad. Do you fellows know what a trying thing' it is to be a locomotive engineer? Well, I can tell you that it will do a man's nerves more harm than anything else. Alco hol and tobacco are mere trifles in comparison, even if they be used to ex cess, I didn't stay long in the busi tiess. I like excitement, but running a ca i ti on ball express whose schedule time was sixty miles an hour is :i little too much even for me. But the three months time that I ran No. 7G was not sufficient for me to realize the in jury it was doing my nervous system. So that was not the real reason that led to my abandon meut of the throttle forever. "I had only been on, as I said, about three months, when hy some careless ness or vicioasness one of the engines, known as a mountain climber, git iiway with full steam on and started down the road on a message of death and destruction. I had just finished a long run and was preparing to go home when the train dispatcher rnsheJ out of his office and told the news. The track had been cleared, he said, and there wsis nothing to stop the mad rush of the loconitive until it should go dash info tho station at Galveston and plough its way through bricks and mortar until both building and the lo comotive were ruined. HIS GREAT NERVE. "I had plenty of nerve then, and I suppose by your laughing you think I have lost none of it, but I am free to confess that I would not dare to un dertake the task I successfully accom plished that day. Perhaps it was the excitement and enthusiasm of the mo ment which led iiti to Volunteer to las so that locomotive. I always smile when I recall the lok of incredulity that met my confident assertion that 1 could catch and arrest the mad flight of the runaway, but I was so confident that they gave me a liearinir, and I finally secured the servite; of sturdy Irish lad as fireman. 1 i less than three minutes after the dispatch had been received I Avas on my engine, with steam slowly coming np again, and pulling out as rapidly as possible to met the oncoming terror. "It was impossible for the train dis patcher to give me any accurate idea as to where the runaway was. The best he could do was to say that it had passed a small station about 75 miles up the road some ten minnts before moving at the rate of about 00 miles an hour. A few minutes more and with steam up I had my engine mov ing at. the rate of GO miles an hour and going straight at the runaway on ine name track, i ran this way for about twenty-five minutes when, as uear at I could calculate, the runaway had done 37 miles and I had covered 25- If my calculations were correct there were still pom i 12 miles between us, but you can imagine that the la.t five miles I covered running direct at the oncoming monster were anything but pleasant. Well, I reversed my en gine and started running away, grad ually increasing my speed until we settled down to a comfortable 30 miles an hour, the Irish lad meanwhile keep ing on a terrific pressure of steam. ON THE SAME TRACK. "We might have run into almost anything, for I did not look ahead at all; my eyes were strained until they pained me looking up the track for the runaway. It might have been ten minutes, more or less it seemed like years to me. Finally we heard the rumble and roar of the monster. It did'nt take her long to heave in sight, and she was coming ahumming. For the first time, confess, I lo-tmy nerve. It was only momentary, however, and then I opened my throttle and away we went. There was a good mile of straight track between us when first caught sight of her; then we turned a curve and she was out of sight it' not out of hearing. When she did come die gained on us pretty uearly half a mil. "I shut off steam a trifl", and when we struck a level piece of track but a quarter of a mile separated us. I told Irish to keep up pressure, and the way he did it it's a wonder the boiler of 76 didn't bust. She kept getting nearer and nearer, and it was all 1 could do to keep from throwing wide the throttle and speeding away from her. Lfut I kept my nerves as steady as though they were of iron. Nearer and nearer she came, until I could actually imag ine she was ploughing her way through us. Finally she closed in upon us, and t assure you that so nearly equal had I succeeded in making the speed that the shock was little, if any, greater than that felt upon the coupling of two cars. "I did not hesitate an jammed down the steam sprang upon the tender of my engine a d i then It task even for an athletic like I then was and from there swung myself upon the engine.

We coupled the engines, and in half au hour had them both safely housed m Galveston. "That was my last experience as a locomotive engineer. You. could nev er get me to steer a cab again." Pitts butuj Press. A Word of Warning. The appearance of the campaign at this time, only a little more than two weeks from election day, is not alto gether satisfactory in thoughtful Dem ocrats. There are divisions among our peop'e which should not exist, and a greater degree of indifference than has b en known since the war. This apa thy results from the sense of securitv. it is seen that the Republican party is disorganized and inactive, and it is tak en as a matter of course that the St . to will go Democratic as usual. It is un wise to take anything for granted in politics, for it is more trim iu politics than anything else that it is the unex pected that happens. A very important election is upon us. Who shall b county officers is always a question of prime concern to the people. Who shall represent them in the LegislatuJe is another. The control of the Legislature is a matter of the utmost importance to the people of the State, if the Republicans should by any bad chance elect a ma jority in it, they would overturn the present system of county government, would revise the election law. turn our penal and charitable institutions over to the control of members of their own party, give the municipal government ..rf Wilmington, Raleigh, (ioldsboro, New Berne and Winston into the hands of the colored people, redistrict the State so that six or seven-Republicans could be elected to Congres, and finally', send a Republican to Washing ton to, take the place of Senator Vance. These are some of the things that a Republican Legislature would do; what else, Heaven only knows. Rut more: a chief Justice, one of the four Asso ciate Justices of the Supreme Court, and nine of the twelve Superior Court judge. are to Ire elected this year threefourths of our judges and all twelve solicitors. Surely it is of the highest concern to the people what class of men administer their laws what class of men sit in j idgement upon their lives, their liberty and their property. So much for strict State affairs. In addition to the officers in dicated, nieuibsrs of Congress are to be chosen this year. Our paojrle cannot have forgotten what has gone on in Washington within the past ten months. They do not want Represen tatives there who will sustain Speaker Reed iu hu policy of "counting a quo rum;'' who will make possible the en actment oE laws which will take con gressional elections out of the hands of the several districts and vest in Uni ted States supervisors the right to hold the elections, count the ballots and determine the result; Representa tives who will countenance the pen sion robbery, grows in magnitude the further we get from the war and which threatens to bankrupt the gov ernment; Representatives who will vote for iniquitous tariff bills, such as that which has just become a law, the effect of which will be to increase the burdens of the common people and add to the wealth of men who are already rich. There is no time for indifference among the people. They have vast in terests at stake. The true people of the State must keep control of its af fairs in their own hands, and they must see to it that they are uot mis represented in Washington--nay, more: that they do not allow misrep- reaentatives to go there who will leamie with their enemies for the op- nnmii of Southern interests. If Brower and Eart had not been elect ed from this State two years ago the Republicans might not have been able to control the organization of the House. In that case we should have had no Reed, counting quorums and 1 keL-HKT It-nreentatives up ill the House; no force bill; no Mc Kin ley tariff bill. It should be needless to rehearse be fore intelligent and patriotic men the infamies of the present Congress as a means of influencing them to go to the polls for the protection of their interests, the interest of their families, their State and section. It should be needless to remind them of their im portance, to the cause of good govern ment and the proper administration of justice, of the Democratic party cou litMteing in power in North Carolina.

ROOM IN WHICH TnE MAN OF THE HOUSE DOES JUST WHATEVER PLEASES HIM. The "gentleman's den'1 is a new de partment iu the decc rator'semproium. For a long time we have had the priv ilige of seeing chambers, parlors, living and dining rooms made up in shop win dows with the nicest regard for detail and accuracy imaginable. Now comes the novelty in the shape of an ideal for a den, where the man of the houiecati do as he likes smoke till his eyes are blind and the lining of his mouth peels and where his books, papers and slip pers are safe from the destroying hand of the housemaid. The model repre sented by a local firm shows a study iu h nid paiuted English cotton, that cool, clean fabric covering the walls. In the celing, bordered with the plesent blue cloth, were figures from the pyr amids in picturesque groups. The frieze, also of printed cotton, is two feet wide, and represents a study from the hieroglyphics. The floor is stainsd brown and n couple of India rugs half cover it. The furniture, while sparse, is substantial and every piece served a purpose. For instance, the three chairs are large ensy and luxurious; the Turkish couch, also cotton covered, is provided with a dull red pillow and a silver plush and leopard skin siumber robe that would stand any amount of rough usage for ten years, at least. On an Oriental coff-e table the smoker's articles were displayed and near by stood a blackened iron crane with a kettle on the hook. The only at tem 1 1 at decoration was u bamboo cabinet stained with walnut juice and contained a sugar basin, water bottle, can of alcohol and a cou ple of glasses and spoons. The writing stand on the center table was the size of a platter such as a turkey is served from, and the gbie pot and ink bottles had the aapacitsof a pint measure. The only book on the table were a dictionary and messengers' tariff guide. There was no cloth on the tables, no tidies on the chairs and no bric-a-brac to be broken or dusted. Stained glass panels filed the upper windows and delicate silk sash curtains the lower ligts. The appointment of a den ol this sort is worth about $20, and i referred to as a hole in the wall where a northed and tried man may escape the horrors of housecleaning, neighlrorly calls, piano solos, elocution and baby talk.- New York Letter.
