— STRINGING THE NERVES nY W, o I'm an engine-driver on the Great West-by-North railway. We don't chase lightning over the prairies on our line, for we'te slow and pretty sure, Ours is a now line —a very new one—running through miles of unset- tled territory, where it's no wonder- ful thing to make out in the far dis- tance half a dozen Inguns galloping along with their hair and l-]nn\u‘(n stroaning out behind; and more than once I've wondered how it would be if one of these painted benuties was to collect his friends and pull up the line. 'Pon my word it's about s sen- sational a feeling as can come over . I love children, got half a score of them myself, but thoy always give me the cold shivers when 1 see them neer a railway., For you sce, I suppose, for company’s sake, boing an out.of- the-way, lonely spot, there was a chap built himself a log shanty close to the line, where he had made a bit of clear- ing, and perhaps he thought it would be a bit of company for his wife and little ones to see the trains go by with people in, besides being a bit of pro- tection from the wandermg tribes about. I got quite to know those people, and “nice, hard-working folks they were. Why, before they had been there six months that bit of wilder- ness began t» look like a little garden ot Eden, and two more people came and pitched i the next bits. 1 quite knew those first folks, though we never spoke; for I always went by them at 12 miles an hour hut the little ones used to stand at the shanty door and cheer, and as time went on 1'd wave my hat to the wife and the husband too, so that they generally used to come out when they heard me ooming up or down, and more than once mine has been an anxious jour- ney when I've passed there, and all has been quiet, for I've thought that perhaps the Inguns had been down, which would have meant murder and fire; but somehow I never had that to trouble me, for the next time I'd pass there would be some one at the door or m the strawberry patchin front, Wo got to be such firm friends at tast that I used to buy candy and doughnute, and heave them into the garden as I went by for the children to scramble after, and that's what it was that did it, and this is how it was: We were going comfortably alone one afternoon, till we got near the clearing, where my friends, as I called them, were located. I began to fur- ridge about in my pockets for a couple of papers of somuthing that 1'd got, when iy spoker says: ““Halle! what's that on the line?" “Cow?’ says I. “Cow? no,” he it’s three children *‘Sound the ", T -did not stop to finish, but opened the little valve myself, making the still air quiver with the hollow booming roar it sent far and wide. ““That’s moved 'em,” says my stoker, laughing to see the little dis- tant figures scamper away I thought it would,” I says; and thon with my hand on the valve I made the thing scream and 1oar again, for there was one of the little ones still right in the middle of the track. In a moment I'd forgotten all about the stuff in the papers, for a curious surt of feeling came over me, one that for a few moments took all the nerve from my limbs, so that I could not move, and then, instead .of re- versing the engine, I began to creep forward; while, as if from' the same feeling, my stoker stood staring with all his might right at the poor little child. We were too near for it to have any good, even if we had both done our parts, and it was with a groan seeming toforce itself out of my breast that T Zold myself it was through my | encouraging the poor children with presents that this was going to happen, for there, seeing no danger, was & little brigh-eyed, long-haired thing ancing abont and wavering its hands as we came swiftly on, We neither of us spoke, but stood there, one on each side, leaning for- ward as helpless as the poor little child in front, till with almost a yell, 1 fought clear of the power that scem- ed to hold me, and with the feeling on me that T was too late, crept along the side of the engine, and lay down with arms extended in front of the cow-catcher, Twenty yards—ten yards, Were we never going to pass over the spot, or would some miraculous power stop the engine? I tried to shout, but only a curious, hoarse noise came from my throat. I wanted to wave my hands, but they remained stretched out obstinately towards the child. Five yards—four—there. There was the little thing, laughing in its innocent glee, for it was expecting some little present from who was then “Why—why— | the Northern Seas, and in the volumne of testimony which shows that the Cortifications which King Frost ereots around his dominions are as impregnable as any the science of man can design. The Jeannette was es- pecially adapted to the navigation of lan- guage of her captain, *‘was as strong as wood and iron could make her.” Sho is reported to have been especial- ly favored by winds and currents in her first season, and to have had a botter chance of accomplishing some- thing than could have been anticipat- od, And yet thia strong vessel, the brave and skillful commander, and the favorable season, have resulted in nothing. The portion of -the crew which has escaped suffered great hardships, apd there is reason to fear that one boat, with a lmrtiflll of the crew, has been lost. Captain De Long and his men were exposed to the rigors of the climate for three months in open boats, and at last ar- rived at Lena in a pitiable condition. The question now comes up for son- sideration, if Arctio expeditions de- serve encouragement in the light of our present knowledge of that por- tion of tho earth's surface? The his- tory of these expeditions has been uniformly sad, The survivors hi told stories of harpabip that would be meredible but for the volume which gives it weight. A great many brave men have died in the attempt to in- vade the territory which nature seems to have marked out as exclusively her own. As loug as the idea is encour- aged that these sacrifices are com- mendable, they will be continued. The very hardihood of the under- taking fires some men, while others are willing to tread any path that leads to fame. 1t will be possible to fit out expeditions jor the next fifty years to come, if public opinion continues to stamp them with approval. When Columbus set out to explore unknown seas in the hope of finding an ocean route to Asia, he had two grand ob- jects in view: to domonstrate by actual travel that the world was round, and to find new territory that might serve as a refnge for the grow- ing population of the old world. The portion of the earth's surface which was then known was small. There was, or might be, a vast unknown Jand, as favored by nature as any which man had taken possession of Discovery in his time meant some- thing. Days of sunshine and nights of starlight seemed to welcome him as he pushed forward into unknown waters. But since that time all the habitable portion of the earth has been traveled over. There are no more unknown Beas except at the north and south, where nature ceases to be hos- pitable. If new land should be found ip these oceans it would not be of any substantial service to the human race The people for hundreds of miles south of the extreme limit of mnorthern ex- plorations are dwarfed by the severity of the climate and the barrenness of the earth. Life under such conditions as are known to prevail is not desira- ble except to the natives, who have known nothing better. There is no parallel, therefore, between the ex- ploring expedition of the fifteenth cen- tury aud that of the nincteench. Since the time of Columbus we have meas- ured the earth, and taken formal pos- session of about all that is worth hav- ing. Thereare no more continents nor large islands for the daring navi- gator to stumble upon. There is, in fact, nothing to compensate for the suffering these expeditions involve. At the best, some knowledge may be gained about aregion of country which 18 practically without value since na- ture has made’it inaccessble and un- inhabitable, Geo.

A Revolution Among Females. Detroit Free Pross. 1t is considered the natural order of things that man should be the heaa of the family, the bread winner, the su- perior being; that woman being de- pendent on him for her food, shelter and clothing, should take the subor- dinate place; should wait until he invites her to found and share ahome; and in all things should defer her schemes, hopes and ambitions to his. T'his relation, it is said, arises from the nature of the case. Being phys- ically stronver, he has the task of wresting from soil and air the means of livehhood; and possessing all the mental skill and force which envolve wealth from mechunism and commerce, he must have the casting vote in all differences of opinion affecting the welfare of the family, This theory is based upon the pres- ent conditions of industry and com merce. These require brainand muscle masculine vigor, masculine rudeness, even masculine brutality, A lack of sensitiveness, an aggressive spirit calling myself its murderer. Two yards—one —at last—all over. There was a shock as we dashed down upon the little thing, who seemed to stretch out its hands to mine, and leap jump actually into my arms, and the , with it tightly -,zx'au[)sd, we were still going on and on; I with my eyes shuy, but feeling that I had the child tight- ly held to my breast, and yet not able to look and see if it was hurt, Then I don’t know how it was, but I believe T must have got up and crawled hack to my place by the stok- or; but I don’t know, 1 can't recollect going it, only finding myself setting down there, holding the frightened little child in my arms, and being nulx{nnml and helpless as a child my- self, “What am I doing?’ T said at last, for my stoker had spoken to me. “Why, I'm crying,” T said; and so I was crying like some great girl. We dared notstop to take the little thing back, but we sent it from the and you'll believe me you that we were better friends afterwards than ever, so that for long enouch we used to make sig- nals, I to the folks in the cottage and they to me; but I shall never forget :_h.uhulu one getting out upon the ine. Another Fallure Isco « all, present appearances the Jeannette las failed to accomplish any of the objects in view in her fitting out, Her history simply addas to the that takes what it can lay its hands on lies at the bottom of masculinesuccess, The Bismarcks, the Napuleons, the Goulds, the Conklings, the Grants, the great merchants and politicians and lawyers are generally men of rude consciences and tough nerves, who overbear and overwhelm their con- temporaries, grasping and griping all that comes within their reach. On the other hand, anything approaching a philosophic, artistic and poetic, that is to say, a feminine, type of mind, makes a comparative failure in the act of money-getting. The artists, the poets, the philosophers are poor; even the inventor is generally poor; it is the coarser masculine and mercantile mind that coins money out of iuven- tive skill, But suppose conditions should change, and the art of living depend more and more upon machinery, less upon manual labor; the art of money- making become & common talent, so as to prevent the accumulation of large fortunes, and the feminine type of mind win the highest rewards! Would not the relation of the sexes change? Do we uot now see a growing disposi- tion in the male sex to look to the wife, not only for an inheritance, but even for support! The woman able to earn a fortune by her pen or her brush, by her talents as & decorator teacher, actor, doctor, and prima donna, pever lacks applicants for her hand. Indeed, the number of these is 80 large tnat the choice of a hus- band lies mainly with themselves. Bhe often grows suspicious of the mo- THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: 'NIURSI)AY.

From such can didates for the howor of an alliance with able women down to the wreteh who takes his wife's earnings at the wash-tub to buy drink, thoreis a slow, if not a vory sweeping, reversal of the apparently fixed and natural law of woman's dependence upon man THE BRITISH MINISTER. A Batchelor With a Family of Chil- dren--"'Ought We to Viait Him." Washington (December 19) Special to New Word st ‘Washington official socioty is now being much exercised in its mind over a grave social question which will probably lead to what may be called ‘‘an international episode,” at least as interesting as the issue ruised in Now York society some time ago by the ad vent of Mlle. Sarah Bernhardt. The question in this ease is not “‘ought we to vis't her,” “out ought we tovsit him," and as the individual directly concerned s no less a person than the new minister of Creat Britam to the United States, to whose arrival the gay world of Washington had looked forward as the harbivgor of a season of unrivaled festivitics ai the new and hsndsome house of the legy tion, it may bo easily imagined that the question is fast taking preendonce for tho first timo at dinner tables and boudoirs of the gravest political sub- jects The facts are simple enowgh. The new British miuister, the Hon, Lionel Sackvillo-West, is a younger brother of the present Lora Sackville aud of the present Earl Delaware. In vir- tue of his descent from Lord Dela- ware, Governor and captain general of Virginia, who died in that prov- Ince in 1618, and to whom Delaware and the Delaware river owe their name, Mr. Waest, it will bo remem- bered, wasinvited by the Pennsylvama Steamship company to accept a pass- age to this country on one of the com- pany’s steamers and was received with much effusion and enthusiasm by the amiable Philadelphians on his arrival He is a brother also of the present Countess of Derby and the present Duchess of Bedford. Few men in England come of so ancient a stock, and no man in England is more highly connected. He is a man of ability ulso, and has served with credit in the diplomatic service. Why, then, this question: “Ought we to visit him?" Well, anyone who wil take the trouble to look at a record of the house of Delaware in the English- man’s Bible will see that Mr. Lionel Sackville- West, born in July, 1827, and therefore but a little turned of fifty-four, is a bachelor. And yet it appears to be an unquestioned fact that Mr Sackville-West has a family of children, two at least of whom it is understood he wishes should with him, and it is an open secrot that a lady of American origin, long connected with the Spanish court, was at some pains, hefore Mr. Sack- ville-West came from the British lega- tion at Madrid to this country, to as- sure her numerous correspondents in this city that the connection, now of some years' date, of the British minis- ter with a Spanish actress had caused much scandal and led to a number of social unpleasantnesses at the Spanish capital, notwithstanding the some- what liberal reputation in such matters of the city which so long acknowledged the sway of the re- gent Queen Christina and of the reg- vant Queen Isabella. People who re- member the unchallenged ‘despotism wielded over Washington by the late Thaddeus Stevens may naturallyflask why official society at Washington should concern itself with the domes- tic relations of a foreign minister. But it must be romembered that Thaddeus Stevens no longer lives, and that Washington socicty on at least two comparatively re- cent occasions has taken very decided ground as to the social relations it would maintain with the wives of two foreign mivisters concerning whom it was alleged that their matrimonial ex- pericnces had been more romantic than regular; and, all precedents apart, it must be admitted that it cannot fail to beawlkwark for heads of families to explain to their families how a foreign minister can be at once a bachelor and the head of a family.
