Tlio village ofVnbnsh , Cass county , is Justly or unjustly indignant. According to the complaint lllod in the ofllco of the state board of transportation to-day against the Missouri Pncillo railroad company , shippers have been denied cars at that point to shove off their grain to the St. Louis market as they hnvo needed thorn from time to time. James Clark and John McCnigafllrm that this has been the case , while empty cars have been scattered along tlio track at every way Htation between that place and Lincoln. They stnto. however , that tlio company has offered them foreign cars to move their grain to Lcavcnworth , Kmi. , but that they could not bo provided for further shipment as wanted. Tlio complainants further state that this is duo to a combination or collusion between the company nnd foreign shippers , uud against liomo shippers and \Vabnsh in particular. They also state that \Vabash shippers had contracts with St. Louis gram dealers that they had to abandon because limy could not got the necessary cars to transport , the grain , nnd that this resulted in hcvero loss to them. For this and general principles the complainants seek tlio inter position of the state board of transportation , aim such adjustment ns equity may demand.

The world is full ot bravo deeds though the disgruntled and the cynical deny it but Ins was one of the bravest of thorn all.

There were two things ho could do ho could yell , and then lot them take their chances , or ho could make a break for them and perhaps save thnin nt the risk of his own life. Ilo choose the latter. The train came thundering along , and there was no time to lose , lie sped like a bullet out of. a gun. got one of them out of the way and then the other. It was quick work , hut It was done , and nobly done. When the train had passed , the girls , halt frightened to death , looked about for the man who had rescued them. There wni no difllculty in finding him. There ho lay , a poor , limp , bruised and broken wreck. The engine had struck him uoor follow , and ho waa dead. Yes , Flagman Wolvor was a hero.

TMUS Huui.v A historical novel of Russia nnd 1'olaml. Uy Nikolai Vasilyovitcli ( tO Ol , trauslatud by Jeremiah Curtln : 12-ino. cloth. Published by John P. Aldcu , New York. It is not to bo doubted that this book is the literary sensation of the year. \\"o do not know what relationship there is between the translator and Andrew G. Curlin , 'to whom the work is dedi cated , but it evidently is close , for the dedication contains some secret history of the highest importance. Before Andrew G. Curtln was minister at the Iltifcbian court , ho was the famous war governor of Pennsylvania , and the patriotic firmness and llro of his utter ances wcro balm to the struggling men at the head of affairs in Washington , surrounded by secret treachery , open insubordination , private peculation , un controllable rivalries , headstrong rash ness and faint-hearted indecision. There was a knot of governors in our northern stales who novur fullered , whom no disaster could terrify and no successes could elate beyond prudence , and of these Andrew G. Curtin was one. When ho wont to St. Petersburg ho found that his reputation had preceded him , and ho was treated by the c/.ar with iv cordial friendship thai made him from that moment the friend of the Slavonic race. It is therefore a conjecture highly probable that ho inspired Jeremiah Curtin to translate tnis work of Gogol , which deals with the revolt of tlio Xaporog Cossacks from the republic of Poland. Tt is an excellent translation and the faults of the author are not to bo ascribed to Mr. Curtin. These faults are chietly duo tothoheatof his > im agination , which leads him to details which will not boar investigation. As for example , when Andri.tlio f-on of the Knporog Turns Bulba , falls in loyo with tlio beautiful daughter of a Polish "Woiwodo. ho makes him climb over steep roofs , and descend a chimney into the room of the young lady , an abso lutely impossible action in'those days of tall chimneys with narrow apertures. The bmnlics't boys were employed for the -nurposo of cleaning them , and wcro often biuToeated by being wedged in and unable either to ascend or descend. The only medieval chimney inside of the house was that of the great hall for the ovens as a rule were in a separate building. Gogol's Cossacks do not scorn to bo nis own , but to bo com pounded out of the poems of Malc/.cwbki and Zalcski , with some assistance from contemporaneous writers. There is nls-o a feature upon which Gogol cither did not choose to dwell , or of which he was ignorant. Whilst allowing that the Jewish stewards of the Polish nobles who had suxornln rights over the set tled Cossacks who had become agricult urists might possibly have vexed them with some exactions , and that Jesuit priests did use some harsh measures to turn them from the Greek church , this would not .account for the defection of nil the nomads of the Ukraine from the Polibh banner of the White Kaglo in the crimson Held. The caiiho of this defection is historical , and it was a blunder over which every Polo has shod tears of blood , for it caused the ruin fo Poland. It must bo Known then that the Cos- snuks beyond any question were Huns in the true meaning of that word , because - cause they shaved the head leaving a scalp-loci ; , as is the nracticb among all worshipers of the great Dragon. They were not Aryans , but a mingling of Afarri and Turans. They served the republic of Poland as independent aux iliaries out of love and admiration for the Poles , and a livxdy expectation sel dom disappointed that booty would como to thobo who marched with a Polish Pan. Many of them entered the serv ices of Polish nobles as haiducs. In this way they came to learn that in Po land there were two sots of noblus , the great nobles who were of Snxon origin , and the plebeian nobles who nhavcd tholr heads and were a scalp-lock like themselves. They also learned that these shaven warriors wcro all members of the pospolito nnd voted for kings , and were before the law as good as tlio great nobloa. As they know that the shaven head uml the Bcnfplook was a sign of brotherhood they demanded to bo admitted into the re public of Poland sis plebeian nobles , and If this had been done n Polish king would bo ruling in Constantinople to day. But alas , nlus , for Poland , U was refused. It was on account of roitor- ntod refusals to this demand that the Cossack confederacy turned upon Poland , and from devoted friends nnd admlrora tiecumu deadly , unrelenting foes , admitting the Turk and the Tartar to the southern palatinates , and throw ing their whole force Into the bcule of Russia. Gogol has chosen to represent this change of sentiment us caused by tlio exactions of Jewish stewards and the intolerance of Jesuit missionary priests. In doing this he has been fiercely parti san , and has endeavored to explain tote to tlio world the potent reason which the Russians have for that savage hatred of the Jaw which line found suuh fearful vent in recent times. It is to bo hoped that Americans will refuse to ac cept his caricature of the. either 03 a truth or ns ti sufficient excjso for the nameless atrocities perpetrated in Bes arabiannd the whole of the Tchornosjom. The picture drawn of the Poles Is lesa for cible than that of the Jews , and will bo considered generally unsatisfactory , be cause the characters are not marked with nny national touches , and are in dividuals and not typical of Polish na tionality. Gogol could hardly have produced this work without a reason. It may bo surmised that the Russians have at last become awnro that Poland yet lives in Austria , and now understand why the white czar is going to war with the Hapsburgs. It is to root out , to demol ish , to annihilate this refuge for.Polish thought and Polish energy. Ctil bono ? Austria being subdued , nnd the whole Balkan peninsula in the hands ot the cznr , Poland will yet survive. For Po land represents the Slavonic bottl , as Russia represents the Slavonic Intel lect. The spirit ot freedom , the aspir ations of unshnckeled manhood , the longings for a frco press and for a rep resentative government nmong the Slavons have chosen Poles and the Po libh language for their best expression and championing. This is duo to the duality of the Slavonic race , which is not n circle , but an ellipse , and insists upon its two foci. Wolf do the Rus sian leaders comprehend the Polish shadow that walks with the Russian substance. In the small hours of the night when the white czar wakes in the Winter palace the black shadow is there with its spee- tral lance. "Sleopest thou , or wnkest thou , white czarV Whore thou art I am ; whore thou triumphcst I overcome ; where thou rulcst I govern ; whore thou wandori'st I follow. For 1 am1 immor tal , and me thou cnn'st not slay. From the toundrns and the lead mine , from exile abroad , from poverty at homo , from oppression and misfortune mid sham I draw the strength that makes mo live on. For I am Poland , and 1 shall never die. " CO.VSTITUT10.VAT , IIlSTOUV. Hj * SIlllOIl Stcrno. p. 13 mo. Published by G. I' . Putnam's Sons , Now York. The author of this valuable treatise is ono of the great constitutional law yers ot the country , and has taken a dignified part iu the politics of New York. Ho was particularly active and efficient in tlio uprising of the bust ele ments of that city against Tammany misrule. Mr. Storno is ono of the few honest mugwumps , and must cause his bretheren much pain and disquietude - quietude by his views upon the railroad question. As a rule the mugwumps are , like the boni of Cicero , and their chief attribute is that being rich themselves , they believe all knowledge , all virtue , all capacity to bo concentrated in their own class. They desire to see the coun- 'try governed by virtuous rich men , and as their wealth consists mainly of rail road bondsthey regard with horror any view that tends in the least to diminish the control of those whoso first consid eration is to pay the -interest on those bonds. Mr. Sterne is not ono of these by any means , and ho has spoken and written on the topic with admirable clearness and impartiality. These are his charncteriptics , and they are con spicuous in everything that ho touches , llis diction is as clear as his thoughts n most marked virtue in n legal writfer , for gentlemen of his profession arc apt to be involved and turgid in expression , though lucid in their ideas. And there is in this little volume a charming im partiality which is highly judicial. If he is not on the bench of the supreme court some day. ityill bo because ho has been too impartial for his own good. Every one who wants to read the con stitution of his country by the light of strong unbiased intellect had. better buy this book. TitAvni.nus AMI OUTLAWS.

This is not a very high intellectual effort of the esteemed author , and is indeed in sober truth a thing of shreds and patches. But they are not as congruous as such things may be , for one-half of the book is pleasant and innocent enough , whilst the other moiety seems ns if written for the express purpose of firing the Afri can heart and bringing about a revel u- tion of the colored people in the south ern states. What good can bo accom plished by rehearsing the terrible stories of the conspiracy of Denmark \7esey of Charleston and the insurrec tion of Nat Turnoi-V Mrs. Harriet Beechcr Stowo , in lior story of Dred , endeavored to give an idea of the latter a remarkable man , but all who know ot him and his doings are agreed that Dred is but a pale shadow of the Virginian prophet and murderer. Will the circulation of this book have any effect ; ' It is manifest that the ail- ministration of 0rover Cleveland lias made the i.outh blusterous and domi neering once again , and it is certain that the votes of colored men are not counted. But , neither are the votes of white republicans in the south. The Atlanta Constitution and other southern papers are saying , very emphatically , that if the north wishes to live in peace with the south the idea of negro suffrage must bo definitely abandoned. Now , the north very politely intimates to the south that it intends to educate the col ored man , and that ho shall vole , and that if the soutli docs not lot him there will be another edition of Apponmtox. There is trouble brooding , jis wo all know , and , therefore , perhaps , it would have been as well if Colonel Higgiiison had not published this book , which will afford a famous handle to the foes of the colored man. Tlio zeal of Cohmol Jliggiiison is eating up the house of his own friends' . It is not only his subject , but it is his tone that is objectionable. Ho sc-oms to rejoice in the horrible methods bf past Umowhich the colored mon had ihmll ) ' the sense to abjure , and if his book should Induce any of them to return to them , ho will have committed nn offense that will cover his name with oturnnl odium.

Webster & Co. , Now York : There was no more picturesque figure in the army of the United States , when there were a million men under the stars and stripes , than gallant Phil Sheridan. His memory will always re main in the hearts of the people , and ho is so well beloved that oven his own memoirs will not bo allowed to boar witness against himself. Ono cannot , however , help feeling a sentiment of regret that ho should have over written them. No doubt he did so because ho wa.s living in an era of personal recol lections of our great war , and there was money.in such u work for a family not too well provided for. Probably ho was aided in the form ho gave his book by injudicious counsellors , for it is obvious that his own idea was simply to write about himself and the part ho look in the conllict. The pretentious ness of maps and the historical pedan try of long muster rolls of brigade , di vision and corps field officers are not in harmony with the purely personal ac count which Sheridan has given of the scones in which ho was so great an actor. And they are all the moro in congruous because Sheridan limited his nnrativo so exclusively to his own do- insrs thai in some instances the story is lee bald to bo interesting. In his ac count of Chicnmauga , for example , the reader is annoyed at his briefness , and vexed at the critical way in which ho speaks of General Thomas , the hero of that battle. Ho introduces him in a , ludicrous light , because after his tremendous exertions he was so tired that he could not speak. lie had halted Sheridanmalting a sign that ho wanted to speak to him. They both dismounted and sat on a fence rail , and for two min utes Thomas remained speechless , hav ing , as Sheridan suggests , forgotten what hojvantcd to say. The great com- municaupn was that lie had a Husk of brandy in ono of his holsters and wanted Sheridan to have some. Dear , kindly old Father Thomas ! It did not become Sheridan to turn the quiet old hero into a jest. Such un anecdote was well enough to bo passed around from ono officer to another. Though Boswoll might write in this vein of Johnson , it is not fitting that Sheri dan should so write of George II. Thomas. Sheridan is altogether too critical in his memoirs , and lias hardly a kind word for anybodyj Ho thinks that if Thomas had contiiniod to hold on , Chicamauga might have boon nominally a union victory. He criticizes Grant witli the Hiuno freedom , and this is not counterbalanced by the studied pane gyric upon him in ono part of his work , because that scams like tin after thought suggested by an anxious publisher. In llis version of the campaign in the Shenandoah , Phil Sheridan did everything - thing , and Grant's planning is repre sented us usclobs. for ho hud lo change the most material purls , So also with Lho closing scenes of the war ; Phil Sheridan and his ciivalry did It all , and Grant was merely a flguro-hond. Ono would have thouirht Klioridun superior to such boyish conceit. However , Iho world will forget what ho has written and remember what ho did , and in go doing will bo moro tender to hi mem ory than his own pen has boon. I'nimmu Cniiitl Dinners , PAHIP , Dec.
