RAILROAD ACCIDENTS.

These accidents are becoming iearfully fire..
quent. That measures should Immediately
be taken to put a step to them, cannot be
dosbsed by any person who has any regard
Sor the preservation of human life. And we
think that now, while the public mind is ex-
cited upon this subject legislative action
should be had. The human mind is SO con-
stituted. that any subject, no matter how ex-
citing ut FIRST, if long continued, ceases to cre-
ate the horror which was at first produced.
Hence the necessity of immediate action,
when the public mind becomes arouse d. AL
ready there is perceptibly change upon the
subject of railroad accidents. If less than
thirty or forty lives should be lost, it is be-
ginning to be regarded as small concern,
and soon ceases to be a matter for converse
xion.
Now there is no reason under the sun why
accidents should occur upon railroads. True,
where there are single tracks, it requires great
care-but where the lives of human beings
are put within the power Of railroad conduc-
tors, great care should be taken. And, should
necessity require it, let there be sufficient
number of watchmen employed to prevent any
possibility of the track being obstructed.
Then, let the law come in, and regulate the
speed, which should be graded according to
the grades and curves of the road.
In addition to these guards, there should be
radical change in our laws, in reference to
damages. At present, if person is injured
he can have a suit for damages-but il he is
KILLED, no person has right to bring suit.
Now we think this should be entirely chang
ed. The parent, the husband, the wife, the
.childre n, or the nearest relative, should be
allowed u suit Cor damages, in case Of death.
This, we think, would be reaching the COM
lpany in the only way they can be reached
with any hope Of producing reformation.
True, these liabilities might cause the COM
pany to incur greater expense in guarding
against accidents. Very well, let it produce
thut effect-and if it should be necessary for
the companies to charge trile more upon
freight and passengers, let it be dose. Is
there any human being, who regards his own
life, who would not rather pay fifty cents or
one dollar, extra, if thereby he had a moral
certainty that his life would not be termina-
ted in moment, or he be left to drag through
the world miserable cripple!
1t should be the aim of the true salesman
and we believe the race is not yet quite ex-
tinct-to guard the lives and property of the
people. All laws, State and National, should
have this end in view. The people should
demand immediate action upon this subject
that so desirable an object may be attained
In speaking Of the woes that should come
upon the people in the latter days, the Book
of books speaks of "fire, and blood, and papor
Of smoke" We strongly suspect that the
last clause of the sentence should have been
translated steam-but as steam engines were
not invented, when the translation was made
we suppose the translators were excusable.

"TnE WoRD SELAH."-The transla.ors Of
the Bible have left the Hebrew word Selab,
which occurs 30 often in the Psalms, as they
found 1t, and, Of course, the English reader
often asks his minister, or come learned friend
what it means. And the minister or friend
has most often been obliged to confess igno-
rance, because II is a matter in regard to
which the mos, learned have by no means been
OF one mind. The Turgums and most of the
Jewish commentators give the word meaning
eterndUy, Jorerer. Rabbi Kinch; regards il as
a sign to raise the voice. The authors Of the
septaugint translation appear to have regard

to the word repdt. According to Luther and
others it means silence. Genius explains il
to mean, Let The instruments play and The sin

cor, when on their own accord, they pushed
forward into the darkness, in raging, boiling,
eddying current, Of FIVE miles an hour, reckless
Of peril to themselves or their little all. Long
they paddled about in the gloom.-There ives
no longer q cry direct their course. Moth.
Ing vss beafd save the roar Of the current, or
lie dsshng on the adjacent shore. Most men
would have been discouraged; but not 90 these
noble Africans.
Thinking, perhaps, that the sufferers had
passed by them, they directed their course
down the stream, until near the foot OF Jack
son street, more than a mile from the scene
of the disaster, they came abruptly upon the
object Of their search. There were two boys
OF fifteen or sixteen years, clinging with be-
numbed but desperate energies to the frail
wreck, while little urchin Of seven or eight
had managed by twisiing the chain of the
csEoe around his arm, TO secure for the time
his perilous position. They were instantly
removed to the already over-lsden skifr Of the
noble hearted slaves, and conveyed in safety
to the shore.-On landing SO complete was
their exhaustion, induced not more by their
efforts for preservation, than by the tempera-
ture Of the wlter at this particular season of
the year, that for some time two Of them were
unable to stand erect. They related, that
soon after starting from the shore, their frai
bark had been overset by the waves caused by
passing steamboat, and that one Of the lit.
tie companions of their anticipated sport had
Immediately sank to rise no more.
But the benevolence Of their tawny rescuers
did not stop here. Seeing the little fellows
shivering from their exposure, the negroes
Immediately doffed their blanket coats, in
which after being closeley enveloped, they
were taken in possession by the watchman
and restored to their homes.-Since that mo-
ment nothing has been heard fthe names or
whereabouts Of those saved from immediate
death, or of the garments so disinterestedy
youchsafed for their after comfort.
We venture to say that no one familiar
with the localities and the circumstances Of
the case, will hesitate to pronounce this a
feat ofnoble self-devotion rarely equaled. In
the days Of ancient Rome, it would, have Sc
cured to each Of the actors a civic crown; but
these poor slaves are destined to remain un-
known and unrecompenced unless our Com
mon Council take action in the matter.
If we mistake not, there is a provision in
the laws of our State, securing freedom to
slave who shall have saved the life of his mas.
ter or any Of his family. In saving the life
of his owner, slave may be impelled BY the
motives of fear, duty or affection; but more
exalted attributes than these are called in
requisition when slave perils his own safety
to save the lives of mere strangers from des-
truction.-New Orleans Crescent.
