R. L. FULTON Mayor,
There seems to be a strong probability
of a split in the Grand Army of the Re-
public. The democratic members are
growing weary of seeing the organiza-
tion prostituted in the interests of the
g. o. p., and are likewise tired of being
treated as though all democrats were
traitors who only await a good oppor-
tunity to walk upon the flag of their
country. There is talk of a withdrawal
and a separate organization wherein poli-
tics will have no lot or pari.

the heart of the cauliflower. Its stalks are
white and resemble celery stalks, and at
the top they broaden out into a very fair
imitation of a cabbage leaf.
There is another variety of toi known
as gai toi. This is like the other, with
the exception that its stalks are green.
It is used for boiling, cabbage fashion,
and is also put in soup like okra. The
sugar cane, called gam chiah, is a fine
thing for a man to eat who wants to have
luck. Fan tan players are very fond of
it. The cane may be eaten raw, but it is
best pickled and fried in lard. All of

Whales of the Scottish Isles.
Few people would guess the etymology
of “ca’ing” when applied to a whale,
printed as it was exactly like this in the
columns of a weekly contemporary. It
is really “ca’ing,” the Scotch for calling,
that name being given to this species of
whale from the curious bleating sound
they make. X stranded calf whale has
a very pitiful call for its dam, which the
latter answers in a harsher tone. The
name is really local to the Scottish
islands, the proper name being the de-
ductor, the whales being so called be-
cause they roam about the sea under the
guidance of a leader in the shape of an
old bull. In the early spring, just before
the breeding season, there is a very keen
competition for this office, and more
than once the contending bulls have both
been known to die from the effects of
the encounter.
The whale is not a very large one,
being only from sixteen to eighteen feet
long! it has occasionally been taken in
immense quantities among the shoals
and channels of the Hebrides, Orkneys,
Shetlands and Fair Isles. When a herd
m aims its appearance the natives lose no
time in collecting all the boats, guns and
harpoons which they can lay their hands
on. They then try all they can to get
seaward of the shoal, and if they succeed
endeavor, by advancing with blowing
horns, splashing oars, firing guns and
shouting, to drive the terrified cetaceans
on shore. Once they are stranded a ter-
rific attack is made, and hundreds have
been slain in a single battue. The scene
is one of the most picturesque it is pos-
sible to witness in the north of Scotland.
It is quite another affair from the occa-
sional grounding of a Greenland whale,

i different and far more gregarious species,

Qualifications Essential to Success—Wbat
to Do When There Is Danger Ahead.
Quick Decision—The Cloud W hich Hangs
<
Over Engineer and Fireman.
The locomotive engineer is the popu-
lar “hero of the rail,” and the popular
estimate in this respect is substantially
just. Others have to brave dangers and
perform duties under trying circum-
stances, but the engine runner has to
ride in the most dangerous part of the
train, take charge of a steam boiler that
may explode and blow him to atoms,
and of machinery that may break and
kill him and try to keep up a vigilance
which only a being more than human
could successfully maintain. He must
be a tolerably skillful machinist
—he cannot be too good—and have
nerves that will remain steady under the
most trying circumstances. If running
a fast express through midnight dark-
ness over a line where a similar train has
been tipped off a precipice (and a brother
runner killed) by train wreckers the
night before, he must dash forward with
the same confidence that he would feel
in broad daylight on an open prairie.
But he does not “heroically grasp the
throttle” in the face of danger, when the
throttle has been already shut, nor does
he “whistle down brakes” in order to
add a stirring element to the reporter's
tale, when by the magic of the air brake
he can, with a turn of his hand, apply
every brake in the train with the grip
of a vise in less time than it would take
him to reach the whistle pull.
I When there is danger ahead there is
generally just one thing to do, and that
is to stop as soon as possible. An in-
stant suffices for shutting off^ the steam
a,nd applying the brake. With modern
trains this is all that is necessary or can
be done. Reversing the engine is neces-
sary on many engines, and formerly was
on all; this would, in fact, be done in-
stinctively by old runners, in any case,
but this also is done in a second. After
taking these measures there is nothing
for the engineman to do but look out for
his own safety. In some circumstances,
as in the case of a partially burned
bridge which may possibly support the
train even in a weakened condition, it
may be best to put on all steam. The
runner is then in a dilemma, and a right
decision is a matter of momentary inspi-
ration. Many lives have been saved by
quick witted runners in such cases, but
there is no ground for censure of the en-
gineer, who, in the excitement of the
moment, decides to slacken instead of
quicken his speed. The rare cases of
this kind are what show the value of ex-
perience, and of men of the right tem-
perament and degree of intelligence to
acquire experience lessons readily.
PROBABILITIES OF ACCIDENT.
But the terrible cloud constantly hang-
ing over the engineer and fireman of a
fast train is the chance of encountering

The Pretty Girls of Richmond.
People who have gone to the exposi-
tion at Richmond speak of the many
handsome women seen in the crowds
there. This observation is no doubt well
founded. Richmond is a very provincial
city in many respects, but she is metro-
politan if not cosmopolitan in the beauty
of her women, if this meant that the
beauty of her women is unsurpassed.
There are no pre-eminent belles in Rich-
mond now as there were in the days
closely following the war, when Mattie
Ould transfixed with both her wit and
beauty everybody she met, but what has
been lost in individual celebrities has
been more than made up in a great multi-
tude of wonderfully attractive women.
Many of them are blondes. There is a
larger proportion of blonde women in
Richmond than in any other city in the
country. This comes naturally and
lawfully from their English ancestry.
There is very little of the Spanish or
French intermixture found in Virginia,
and hence the creole type of beauty is
rarely seen in the state. The world
runs after blondes nowadays, especially
after blonde or golden hair; and such
hair as the Richmond women have! It
is a special connection of the genial
southern sun, and is as distinct in its
beauty as the golden leaf tobacco fsr
which Virginia is so celebrated. If a

To the fact that tiffs cloud is no larger

train on another track just
as the latter approaches. This has hap-
pened more than once lately. No amount
of fidelity or forethought (except in the
maker of the wheels) can prevent this 1
kind of disaster. There is constant
danger on most roads of running off the
track at misplaced switches, many
switches being located at points where
the runner can see them only a few sec-
onds before he is upon them; but the
chance is so small—perhaps one in ten
or a hundred thousand—that the
average runner forgets it, and it
is only by severe self discipline
that he can hold himself up
to compliance with the rale which re-
quires him to be on the watch for every
switch target as long before reaching it
I as he possibly can. He find the switches
all right and the road perfectly clear so
regularly, day after day and month after
month, that he may easily fall into the
snare of thinking that they will always
be so. But, like other trainmen, the
engineman finds enough more agreeable
thoughts to fill his mind, and reflects
upon the hazards of his vocation perhaps
too little.—B. B. Adams, Jr., in Scrib-
ner’s Magazine.
