The Jife of the railway station agent, at in- termediate points, is not a continual round of pleasure. In the performance of his duties heis compelled to “star” in many a drama.

All who are any way familiar with the temper of most boards of vailroad dircctors are aware that the great demand from them upon the managers of their property is for “dividends.” ‘Ihey are very slow to listen to anything from these mauaging oficers that calls for a considerablo prosent outlay of funds. These presidents and gencral mau- agers want to be reinforced when they go before the boards by a “'public sentiment” or & “thas saith the law.” "While some of the roads are doing something toward applying these spfety devices, our appeal is to boards of directors and managers of all railroads and to the legislatures, both state and na- tional, to give this humave subjecy their first coasideration. ., Tho great bomb 15 'bo thrown by Chief Arthur into the meeting of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Kugiueers, us indicated by Qispatehes from Deaver has, thus fur, failed to matorialize.
