THE OMAHA DAILY BEE : THUESDAY , DECEMBER 29 , 1881 , o STRINGING TH NERVES. 11Y W. I' . I'm an ongiuo-ilrivor on the Great WcsUby.North railway. We don't chase lightning over the nrairies mi our line , for vc'to slow nnd pret'y auro , Uuw is a now line n very now onn rumiintj through miles of unset- tlotl territory , where it's no wonder ful thing to ntako out in the fur dia- tanco half a do/on Injuns galloping along vt'Mthoir hair nnd blankets streaming out behind ; and more than once I'vo womlored how it would bo if ono of these painted beauties waste to collect hia friends nnd pull up the lino. 'I\m ' iny word it's about us sen sational n fooling na can come over yon. yon.I love children , got half n score of thorn myself , but they always give mo the cold shivers when I see thoni nor r u railway. For you see , I suppose , for company's sake , being nn out-of- tho-wny , lonely spot , there was a chap built himself n log shanty close to the line , where ho litul iniulo a bit of clear ing , and perhaps ho thought it would bo a bit of company for his wife and little ones to sco the trains go by with people in , besides boiujj n bit of pro- tuction * from the trandcring tribes about. I ot quito to know these people , and nice , hard-working folks they woro. Why , before they had been there nix months that bit of wilder ness began ti look like a little garden ol Eden , nnd two more people caino nnd pitched in the next bits. I quito know these first folks , though wo never apokc ; for I always wont by them at 12 miles an hour but the little ones uncd to stand at the slmnty door and cheer , nnd as time went on I'd wave my hat to the wife nnd the husband too , so that they gonornlly used to come out when they hoard mo coining up or down , nnd inoro than once mine has been an anxious jour- uey when I've passed there , nnd all has boon quiet , for I'vo thought that perhaps the Inguus had beou down , which would have meant murder nnd fire ; but somehow I never had that to trouble mo , for the next time I'd pass there would bo some ono at the door or in the striiwborry patch in front. front.Wo Wo got to be such firm friends at last that I used to buy candy and doughnuts , and heave thorn into the garden as I w ent by for the children to scramble after , and that's what it was that did it , and this is how it was : Wo were going comfortably nlono one afternoon , till wo gob near the clearing , whore my friends , as I called thorn , were located. I began to fur- ridge about in my pockota for a couple of papers of something that I'd got , when my spokor says : "Hallw ! what's that on the line ? " "Cowl" says I. "Cow ? no , " he says. "Why why- it's three children ! " 'Sound the " . Idid not stop to finish , but opened the little valvu myself , making the still air quiver with the hollow booming roar it sent f.ir and wide. "That's moved 'em , " says my stoker , laughing to see the little dis tant figures Hcamper aw.iy "I thought it would , " I says ; and then with"my hand on the valve I made the thing scream and roar again , for there was one of the'littlo , ones still right in the middle of the track. In it moment I'd forgotten all about the stuff in the papers , for , a curious eurt of feeling came over me , ono 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 bean to creep forward ; while , as if from' the same feeling , my stoker stood staring with all his might right at the poor little child. child.We We wore too near for it to have any good , oven if wo had both done our parts , and it was with a groan seeming to force itself out of my breast that I'.old nn self it was through my encouraging the poor children with presents that this was going to happen , for there , seeing no danger , was a little brigh-oyed , lontr-haircd thing dancing about and wavering its handa as wo canio swiftly on. Wo neither of iw eMko | , but stood there , ono on each side , leaning for ward as helpless as the poor little child in front , till with almost n yell , I fought cli'iu" of the power that seem ed to hold mo , and with the feeling on mo that I 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 wo 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 tttretched out obstinatelyto wards 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 calling myself its murderer. Two yards ono at hist all over. There was a shuck as wo dashed down upon the little thing , who seemed to utrotch out its hands'to mine , and leap jump actually into my arms , and the , with it tightly yrdspod , we were still iohig on and on ; -with my eyca uhuv , but fooling that I had the child tight ly hold to my breast , and yet not able to look mid see if it was hurt , Then I don't know how it was , but I buliovo I must have got up and crawled back to my place by the stok er ; but I don't know , I can't recoiled going it , only finding myself settinc down there , holding the frightened little child in my arms , ana boiiif stunned and helpless as a child my self. self."What "What am I doing ? " I said al last , for my stoker had spoken to mo "Why , I'm crying , " I said ; und so i ' was crying like nome great girl. % We dared not stop to take the little thing back , but wo sent it from tin next station ; and you'll believe me when I tell you that wo were bcttei friends afterwards thun ever , so thul for long onouph wo used to make Hi' ' , imls , I to the folks in the cottage UIH they to mo ; but I shall never forgol that little onu getting out upon tin lino. Another Failure. Ban Francltca I Ml , From present appearances th Ji'jinnotto llns failed to accomplish an ; of the objects in view in her fittin out. Her history simply adda to th volume of testimony which shows that the fortifications which King Frost erects Around his dominions nro as impregnable as nny the science of man can design. The Jcamu'tte was es pecially adapted to the navigation of the Northern Seas , and in the lan guage of her captain , "was as strong as wood and iron could make her. " She is reported to have been especial ly favored by winds and currents in her first season , nnd to have had i better chance of accomplishing some thing than could have boon anticipat ed. And yet thin strong vessel , the bravo and skillful commander , and the favorable Reason , have resulted in nothing. The portion of the crow which has escaped suffered great hardships , ami there is reason to fear that ono boat , with a portion of the crow , has been lost. Captnin Do Long nnd his men were exposed to the rigors of the climate for throe months in open boats , und at last ar rived nt Lena in a pitiable condition , The question now comes up for Jon- sidoMtion , if Arctic expeditions deserve - servo encouragement in the light of our present knowledge of that portion tion of the earth's surface ? The his tory of these expeditions has been uniformly sail , The survivors have told stories of harpahip that would bo incredible but for the volume which gives it weight. A great many bravo men have died in the attempt to in * vndo the territory which nature seems to have marked out ns exclusively her own. As long as the ideti is encour aged that these sacrifices nro commendable - mondablo , they will bo continued. The very hardihood of the under taking fires some men , while others are willing to tread nny path that leacU to fame. It will bo possible to fit out expeditions tor the next fifty years to come , if public opinion continues to stamp them with approval. When Columbus set out to explore unknown st'aa in the hope of finding an ocean route to Asia , ho had two grand ob jects in view : to demonstrate by actual travel that the world was round , and to find now territory that might servo as a refuge for the crow ing population of thu old world. The portion of the oarth'a surface which was then known was small. There was , or might bo , a vast unknown land , 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 seas except at the north and flouth , whoio nature ceases to bo hos pitable. If now land should be found iji these oceans it would not bo of any substantial service to the human race The people for hundreds of miles south of the extreme limit of northern ex plorations are dwarfed by the severity of the climate aud 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 and that of the ninetconch. Since the time of Columbus we have meas ured the earth , and taken formal pos session of about all that is worth hav ing. There are no more continents nor largo 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 a region of country which is practically without value since na ture has made'it inaccessible and un inhabitable. Gco.

' It is considered the natural order of things that imm should bo the hoau of the family , the bread winner , the su perior being ; that woman beincr de pendent on him for her food , shelter andclothinir , should take the subor dinate place ; shobld wait until ho invites her to found and share ahomo ; and in' all things should defer her schemes , hopes nnd ambitions to his. This relation , it is said , arises from the nature of the case , Being phys ically strotii'Cr , he has the task of wresting from soil and air the means of livelihood ; and possessing a'l ' the ntontal skill and force which onvolvo wealth from mechanismandcommerco , he mu t 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 brain and muscle masculine vigor , masculine rudeness , oven masculine brutality. A lack of sensitiveness , an aggressive spirit that takes what it can lay its hands on lies at the bottom of masculinosuccoas. The Bismarcks , the Napoleons , the Goulds , the ConklingH , the Grants , the great merchants and politicians and lawyers are generally men of rude consciences and tough nerves , whc overbear and overwhelm their con temporaries , grasping and griping all that comen within their reach. On the other hand , anything approaching a philosophic , artistic and poetic , thai is to say , a feminine , typo of mind makes a comparative failure in the act of money-gottina. The artists , tin poets , the philosophers are poor ; ever the inventor is generally pour , it ii the coarser masculine and morcuntili mind that coins money out of mven tivo skill. Hut suppose conditions ahouli change , and the art of living dopom more and more upon machinery , les upon manual labor ; the art of money making become a common Ulent , RI as to prevent the accumulation of larg fortunes , nnd the feminine t.tpo o mind win the highest rewards !

Indeed , the number of thus ly is so largo timt the choice of a hue ig band lies mainly with thoinsolveH aH. 10 She often grows auspicious of thu H.o tlves f all men who approach her , mid can easily afford to reject her suitors by the score. From such can didates for the honor of an alliance with able women down to the wretch who takes his wifo'a earnings at the \sash-tnb to buy drink , I here is it slow , if not a very swooping , reversal of the apparently fixed nntt natural law of woman's liopomlcnce upon man. THE BRITISH MINISTEH. A Datcholor With n Fnmlly of Cull- clron-"OURUt Wo to Visit Him. " Wa hlneton ( PoctmWr 19) ) Special to N * * ' World. Washington official society in now being much exercised in itaiuind over a crave social question which will probably lend to what may bo called "an international episode , " ntlcost ns interesting as the issue raised in Now York society some time ago by the ad- vout of Mile. Sarah Ilernhardt. Thu question in th s case is not "ou&ht wo to vimt her , " ' but ou ht wo to T sit him , " and as the individual directly concerned io no loss n person than the now minister of Great Irituti ! ; to the United State * , to whoso arrival the gay world of Washington had looked for\vnid \ ns thu harbinger of n. season of unrivaled fostivitiuH al the now and liMultionio house of the leijv- tion , it may lie easily imagined that the question is fast taking ureci'donco for tlio firat time at dinner tables and boudoirs of the gravest political sub jects Tho'facti nro simple enough. The new British minister , the lion , Lionel Sackvillo-\Vest , is a joungor brother of the present Lorn Sackvillo and of the present Eirl Delaware. In vir tue of his descent from Lord Dela ware , Go ernor and captain general of Virginia , who died in that prov ince in 1018 , and to whom Delaware and the Delaware river owe their name , Mr. West , it will bo remem bered , was invited by thu Pennsylvania Steamship company to accept a passage - ago to this country on ono of the com pany's steamers and wai received with much effusion and enthusiasm by the amiable Fhiladolphians on his arrival lie is a brother also of the present Countess of Derby and the present DuchcKfl of Dedford. Few men in England come of so ancient a stock , and no man in England ia more highly connected. He is a man of ability also , nnd has served with credit in the diplomatic service. Why , then , this question : "Ought wo to visit himV" Well , anyone who will take the trouble to look at a record of the house of Delaware in the English man's Uiblo will see that Mr. Lionel Sackvillo West , horn in .Inly , 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 lip wishes should with him , and it is an open sec-rot that a lady of American origin , long connected with the Spanish court , was at some pains , before Mr. Sack villo-West came from the British lega tion nt Madrid to this country , to assure - 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 , capita ) , notwithstanding the some what liberal reputation in such matters of the city which so long acknowledged the sway of the re gent Quocn Christina and of the reg nant Queen Isabella. People who re member the unchallenged 'despotism wielded over Washington by the late Thaddoiis Stevens may naturallyCask why official society at Washington should concern itself with the domes tic relations of a foreign minister. But it must bo remembered that Thnddcus Stovoiis no longer lives , and that Washington socit-.ty on at least two comparatively re cent occusiotiH has taken very decided ground as to the social relations it would maintain with the wives of two foreign ministers concerning whom it was alleged that their matrimonial ex periences had liooa inoro lonmntic than regular ; nnd , all precedents apart , it must be admitted that it cannot fail to boawkwark for heads of families to explain to thuir families how a foreign minister can bo nt once a bachelor and the huud of a family.
