To" the Editor of the Capital. Twinkle, twintr, electric light, Shining dimly through the night. Like some lone and waning star Watched ty wanderer from afar; Watched eg ia dcuht and hope, Longing for a telescope. Emblem of the promise sweet That you'll shine a thousand feet That lone midnight snail be gay With your "softened moonlight" ray. While the stars grow dim in heaven, Shining, tinging "we aie seven." Tower, tower, tapering high, Spiderish acainst the Eky, Can your slim, three-cornered slope Lcng sustain so great a hope Long extend that promise due? Do you know we've paid for you Stable lanterns hung aloft Have a radiance dim and soft.

The wife of old John Brown, Mary A.

Brown, is still living, and resides with her two unmarried daughters at Khonersville, Humboldt county, California. She was Brown's second wife, and married him at Meadville, Pa. Jason Brown, another son of John Brown, lives at Akron, thirty miles from this city. He was with his father in Kansas, but not at Harper's Ferry. He is an old man, 60 years of age, yet young looking and as vigorous as a boy.

It is no common thing for him to perform a full day's work cutting timber. The two daughters who live with their mother in California are children of the second wile. The sons and Kuth Thompson" are the off spring of John Brown's first wife, whom the old man married in 1820, at Hudson, Ohio. It is a noticeable fact about the members of John Brown's family, that they are all well preserved, and show promises of living to ripe old ages." MEXICAX MATTERS. Some Items of Interest from the Land of Flowers.

Matamokas, via Brownsville, August S. A recent fire at Lenares destroyed wooden dwellings. This is an extrrordinary conflgration for Mexico. Pas Del Norte and Tuxpan are to have horse railway lines. The thermometer ranges very high at many points on the Bio Grande.

It has recently been 102 at Laredo, 105 at 1 Paso, and 103 at Rio rande city. During April, May and June sixty-eight steamers and six sailing vessels left the port of Progress with cargoes consisting of 13,995,285 pounds of Henguen, Sisal hemp, a product; of a species of cactus. The total value of this product shipped was over $750,000. Recently, in the City of Mexico, two noted bandits named Poncho Martinez and Juan Barcenas had a quarrel, when the former emptied five shots into the latters body, killing him instantly. Poncho was arrested, and, as he had not give Barcenas a fair showing, the mob wanted to hang him.

A French company has erected a fish and oystery cannery at Tuxpan. People in Yucatan are affect with yellow fever. Later advices received here by mail slate that the recent earthquake in the City of Mexico was also felt at Vera Cruz, Pueblo, Toiuca, Cuarsauaca, and A NUMBER OF OTHER including Ma zatlan, at which place it was most severe, lasting three minutes. Advices from the State of Michoacan state that young McNeal, who was recently abducted by bandits from near Pberandierf, has in all probability been murdered, the body of a murdered youth answering his description has been found iu a hole Aurcnacuti covered with stones. Large bod it of troops are pursuing his abductors, and every effort is being made to capture their rendezvous.

A hut in the mountains has been discovered wirh marks of recent occupancy, but the scoundrels who made it a haunt have fled. Orizaba will shortly rival Havana as a point for the manufacture of fine cigars. Dry hides are vorth fiteen cents a pourd in Saa Juan Boutista. A lithograph copy of a plan of the City of Mexico, made when it was the old Arte City of Temistitan, has just been completed. The original was made in 1558.

Recently Maj. Arrez and Marin, the latter the cashier of the Atlix county custom hcute, went cut to fight a duel, when the latter, e'ther through fear or bad shooting, proabaly both, managed to shoot a poor standing near through the head, killing him instantly. Such a duelist ought to be burned, but probably will get properly roasted by his friends. BRAVE RAIIiROAD-MEN. Heroic Deed? of a Brakeman and an En-giiieor.

By Telegraph to the New York Harald. Trenton, N. August 4. On Friday afternoon last John W. Moses, brakeman on the switch engine of the Belvidere Delaware division of the Pennsylvania railroad, for the third time within a few years risked his own life to save that of another by leap-iug from a train running at a high rate of speed through a bridge studded with iron bars into the Delawaie Rariian canal at the foot of Rose street, in this in this city.

A Herald reporter called at the humble house of the brave brakeman, No. 21S, Academy stieat, last evening, and found him surrounded by his family, catiDg his frugal meal after a day's toil." In answer the reporter's request to teil him all about the recue Mr. Mcses, in a matter-of-fact sort of way replied: Oh, it wasn't much; but I didn't like to take a bath with my clothes on. You see, we were going along pretty lively with a train of freight cars, and as we approached the unction bridge 1 saw the boy in the csnal. At first I thought he was taking a swim, but I looked again, saw that he had on his clothes and disappeared twice nnder the waler, each time struggling and floundering.

Then I knew he was drowning; so I just made up my mind in less time than I am telling you to wait until the train reached the bridge and make a dive for the youngbter. Just as the train got into the bridge the boy was going down for the thi.d time, and without waiting for anything I made a dive for him between the iron rods which ftUpport the swing bridge. In doing so I struck against one of the rods, ami they are only three feet apart, which threw roe over on my side. It stung right Mnart, buc I struck out forjthe boy and grabbed him by the back of the neck just as the top of his head was disappearing, and then I made for the shore wtth him. When I got him to the hank he as pretty limp, I tell yos, but we soon brought him to.

1 understand, his name Vansant and that he is abo 1 10 years old' Mr. Moae? who is a muscular and jolly youn fellow, then asked to be excused, as he had an engagement on hand, and in another moment he went skipping out of hi hoiiM whistling. Afier be had left, a member Ids family said to the reporter: "Jiihany don't like notoriety, or he might have told you of even mere hazardous res cues made br him. Why, a few months ago he jumped off his train into the feeder, ttarten street, and saved a big man who Fl rum i mm Zitvv ti Ague, Jiheuma tism, Dropsy. liuiousncss, jxervous JJcoiutf, etc.

New York Herald, August 5. Harry Lamorenx is an engineer on the Manhattan Beach Railway.

He drives the locomotive Peter Stuyvesant. Unlike the old wooden-legged Governor of the embryo metropolis, it travels at a high rate of speed. Sunday, the Peter Stuyvesant, attached to a train of nine cars, left Greenpcint at 6:30 p. m. Harry Lanqoreaux was at the lever.

It was an express train and a minute or two behind time. Nearing the bridge in a deep cut at tbe old De Kalb avenue station in East Brooklyn, the engineer saw what he supposed to be a dog playing between the rails of the south bound track. He whistled and rang the bell, but the supposed animal did not move. The train was running cn scedule time. "My God, it's a child he exclaimed, as the locomotive flew toward it.

He shut off sterm, put on the vacuum brakes and the reverse gear, climbed out of the. cab window, along he running board, over the steam chest and down to the pilot. While the locomotive was under half-headway he reached down, grabbed up the child, and with it safely folded to his breast swung himself out into the track at the right of. his engine. A man and woman were standing on the top of the embankment, which was about thirty feet high.

He clambered np, deposited his precious burden in the arms of the man. slid down to the track, took command of his engine, and got under way for the beach. a passenger knew the cause of the stop page. The Peter Stuyvesant rolled into the Man hattan Beach depot at five minutes past 10 last night. Harry Lamoreaux, a tuJ.

broad shouldered, athletic young man, only 28 years ot age, jumped out of the cab and be gan oiling up. He was decidedly good-looking and as modest as a maiden. "I didn't suppose there be any fuss made about it," he said to the Heraid reporter. "I'd often read about such things, and I didn't believe half of them. "When I saw the little toddler playing there I knew I had to make an attempt to fave it and I did.

That is about all I can say about it It must have tumbled down the embankment for there was no other wav for it to get there." "Was Ka hoy or girl?" "Didn't have time to find out." "Did you hear it's name?" "Hadn't time to inquire." "Was there no conversation between you and the man to whom you gave the child!" "He didn't say a word. I said 'Damnation, don't let it occur again'." And the hero went back to his labors. Harry Lamoreux has been an engineer for seven years. For the past three years he has been in the employ of the Man a at. tan Beach Railway Company.

The officials of the road speak in the highest terms of him. Ue is a widower, and resides in East Fifty -fifth street. Perquisite of the Judges. Washington Correspondent Philadelphia Press. For high-toned perquisites, privileges and luxuries, the jolly old ow on the supreme court bench would take the premium at a world's fair they wouiJ take the cake, the oveD, the baker and the farmer's wheat field.

In the first place every one cf the Judges has a room io his house furnished by the Government luxuriously- a perfect library in itself. The Avails are covered with rich book-cases filled with law books of great value and usefulness, the floors are richly carpeted, a great, massive desk occu pies the center of the room, morocco lounges and easy chairs invite vou to repose, and the bady servant is just without the door, awaiting the tinkle of the silver bell. These, including the body servant, are paid out of Uncle Sam's pouch. If jou go to dine with a Judge or a Secretary, an Assistant Secre tary or an assistant anything, or a Senator, behind your chair you will probably fiad a a waiter, for by the Government as messenger or a laborer. Each Judge hu 3 his own mm.

The Supreme Court has more officers and men than any similar inttitutton in tbe world thrice over. One thing the Judges have not, except on daj of ceremony, and that is carriages. Many, indeed nearly all of them, drive their own private but, in other respects they are about like Cabinet officers, except more so. With 10,000 a year and pension when retire, with a library, a body servant, three to six months' vacation every year, and the respect of all mankind, the Supreme Court Judges can walk along the flowery paths leading to old age with the jolly idea that they are lucky as well as wise, Senator Cameron's Tronsers. Special to Chicago Times.

Senator Don Cameron has the reputation of being worth about $4,000,000. Everyone credits him with living with a liberality suitable to his position as a man of wealth and a supposed political I eider. To-day he made something of a sensition in the Senate when he leaned over to talk with Senator Dawes. He bent very low, and his soft, gray coat, standing out straight, revealed two threadbare spots thes zeof teacups around the edges of which were unmistakable adorned the broadest part of his trousers Senators could hardly believe what was so plainly presented to their gaze. Said one: "Caa it be that Camaron is hard np and cannot afford a new pair of trouser? 1 wonder if all his money has gone into tbe Pennsylvania campaign?" Another sug gested wickedly that Mr.

Hubbell, who was present, should take 6ome of the political funds collected by him and present Mr. Cameron with a new pair of trovers. It was urged that this would be a perfceily e-gitimnte expenditure, because it would enable Mr. Cameron to present at least respectable appearance if chance should jHce him upon the stump in Pennsylvania this fall.

Something About the Surviving Members of His Famuy Special Correspondence of the Chicago Tribune. Cleveland, Aug. 2. The famous summer-resort Put- in-Bay Island in Lake Erie is situated in Ottawa county. Steamers ply regularly between the bay and Cleveland, Sandusky and Toledo.

On the west side of the islacd, near the water's edge, and half a mile distant lrom the harbor, stands a small white cottage with a wide veranda surrounding it on three sides. The house is almost hidden from the roadway by a grove of Cdk trees, and is approached by a nariu drive leading through many acre? of grapevines. The owner of this lutle white cottage among the trees JOHN BROWN, the eldest son of the patriot and martvr, John Brown, of Harper's Ferry fame. For upwards of twenty years young John Urown has live! on the island, and has devoted all these years to the cultivation of the Catawba grape. He is an old man now, past sixty, and his head is covered with silvery hair.

His wilt1, a matronly lady past fifty, met me with a smiling face as I entered the yard, and arose from her old-fashioned tpinniDg- wheeJ, at which she was working on the veranda, as I arproached. Bfide her sat her daughter, a fine-locking miss of nineteen or twfntr. Yin is neatly furnished. and the parlor is ornamented with a small bookcase filled nith choice volumes, while on a centre table I discovered several volumes relative to Old John Brown and slavery. Along side of thete were several photographs of the old hero and of other members cf the Brown family.

Taking the huge rocking chair kindly of fered me, 1 sat upon tbe porch, conversing pleasantly wirh the lady and her daughter, when a one-horse wagon loaded with grape vine poets and trellitts and dra wn by an old gray horse came rattling round the side of the house and stopped near the small ehed in the rear, utilized as a barn. A WHITE-HAIRED OLD MAN, tall in stature, with shoulders slightly bent with age, sat upon the wagon feat and, as the horse stopped, tbe man jumped nimbly down from his high perch and came forward with outstretched hands to greet me. This was Owen Brown, second son of Old John Brown, and the only living survivor of the Harper's Ferry struggle. His beard is long and si! very, and he has every appearance oi a patriarch Owen Brown is now well on to 63 yeas of age. The story of hmJify reads like a romance.

He was one of the -Brown brothers who removed to Kuntas in the early partof the Kansna Nebraska struggle, and endured many hardships daring his sojourn in the then Territory of Kansas. He was with his father in all the battles fought with the Border Ruffians in Kansas, was preient at the meeting called by John JBroTvn at Chatham, Canada, in 185S, was present at THE ATTACK ON HARPER'S FERRY, "tMxat memorial 17th day of October, 1S9 Oweu's escape freni Virginia during: thoie trying times was one of the most miraculous escapades known to history. Of the little band of twenty-three men who were left to battle against the South by the hero of Osisa-watomie, eight were killed during the attack, and with the exception cf mf the lewjinicr cC Its party captured, and TkrtcTWards hangea at Charlestown. Owen Brown ard three companions Cook, Coppee and Merriam were left to guard the school house near the ferry on the night of the attack, and the Monday night following, hearing of John Brown's failure in his attempts to hold his position against the combined forces of Virginia and Maryland, the four men fled to the mountains. For four days they skirted along the Blue Ride Ran sleeping cn the herd ground arid feeding on roots and herbs.

Near the Penes Ivania line Coppee and Merriam ventured to a fcmali town and escaped. The one died in New York of a fever shortly afterwards, and the other entered the Union army and died for his country.
