From the New York Sun, “No, we don’t bounce the tramps who ride on the bumpers of our freight train,” said freight conductor who has run to the west. “I Presume that we carry an average of a dozen each trip, but if they remain between the cars we pretend not to see them.” “But it is against orders,” was urged. “Oh, yes, but thereis a higher power than general orders, even for railroad men, Five or six years ago I used to be hard on the rail- road tramp. I'd have the train looked over at rhe A stop andif we caught a chap he got hundled pretty lively. Nowadays Ithrow out a hint to the brakeman to shut both eyes and if thetramp don’t presume too much on my good nature no one will disturb him.” “What happened to change your mind?” “Oh, alittle incident of no interest to the ublic, but a great deal tome. I was married fh December three years ago. On the third night I got an order torun out with an extra. There was a cold rain, which froze as it fell, and one of my crew got hurt at our very first stop. This left us short-handed, and as we could not supply his place I had to act for him. We were back in the mountains, running strong to make time, when the engineer whistled brakes for a grade. I climbed out of the caboose with the brakesmen, and had set two brakes and was after the third, whena lurch of the cars threw me down, ard I fell between two of them. Ihad just one glimpse of the red-cheeked bride at home, just one swift thought of her in widow's weeds and her heartbreaking, when a hand grabbed me. I was going down head tirst, but the strong clutch turned me over and my feet struck the bump- ers, I'd have gone then, only some one put my hands on the ladder, flung his arms around me from behind to hold me there, and said: ‘You are all right, old man. Your nerve will come back pretty soon.’” “And it was a tramp, eh?” “It was, and be held me there until tho train reached its stop. and then helped me down, for the sudden fright had taken all my strength and nerve away. But for him I should have been ground up under the wheels. This is the reason I keep 1 soft spot in my heart for the genus tramp and why, when I sometimes walk the length of every train and find every bumper occupied, I look skyward and pretend not to see as much as an old fur cap.” a od A Southern Tribute to Lincoln. From the Louisville (Ky.) Times, March 6. Abraham Lincoln was the most conspicuous figure this hemisphere has ever known save Christopher Columbus and George Washington, As every French soldier has hidden in his kuap- sack the marshal’s baton, so Lincoln typified the possibilities to which the poverty-stricken child of the humbiest may attain. He was be- yond cavila great man—lurge brained and large earted. Though he dominated at an epoch when sectional y merged into sectional war no sentence cun be attributed to him that was not full of charity and tolerance, death was a loss to the north but a dixater to the south. A broad and liberal man, he would have been animated by magnanimity in dealing with questions of reconstruction.

The Washington Evenrno Star is in many re- spects the most successful afternoon newspaper published in the United States, In our large cities the great papers are the morning papers. The afternoon papers are simply good papers for local news, but are not usually considered great newspapers, Tar Evexinc Stan has the unique position of being an afternoon paper published in a large city which probably bas a circulation equal to all the morning papers put together. It is rather strange that in a city like Washing- ton s morning paper should not be the leading paper. Most of the news of importance in the capital, outside of the proceedings in Con- gress, can be given in a more complete and satisfactory manner by a morning paper. But | invited these morning papers have had little influence aince the time that Forney published the Chronicle, They have often "changed hands and there pave been no responsible parties behind them. Tue Stan has practically been under the same management for many years and has established a good reputation for its reliability and accuracy, Its regular dgily edi- tion is as little sensational as the Philadelphia Ledger, which is perhaps the only journal m this country go be compared with it. «For many yeare Tax Star has been one among twenty of the best paying newspaper properties in the country.
