aid of Uncle Sam. Such reasons as
these for preference, are very common;
and they go to show that there is a
very large respectable of cousse) class
growing up in the Republic who claim
pensions from The Government to sup
port themselves in idleness. How often
is the argument used as a reccommen-
dation for candidates, that "He has a
large family to support" HE is a
faithful Wing, or Democrat" which
signifies that he has barked at the OPP

tunate as ever to have neen chit on the

essary: the other collaterals are deem
ed superauous, and very justly SO.
We think that any man who is fool
enough to march out Of the country
and lay himself liable to a cracked
head, to settle disputes amongst "dip-
lomats'' ought to be rewarded with
something eaven more substantial than
an office in the Customs.

1t is courteous to observe the grad
ual steps by which the manufacture Of
paper was developed untilt had ar
rived at its present state of perfection.
First, the leaves Of trees was used by
the ancients for their writings; then
the bark of trees, being more solid
material, was adopted for the purpose;
sheets of metal and stone. were invent
ed as an improvement on the former.
The fbrous part of Vegetable substan-
ces was subsequently manufactured
into paper; and ultimately linen rags,
and other raw materials now used,
were found to produce the article in
its present complete and beautiful con
dition.

Of tho Vice President, remarks !:
Death knows no distinction. He is

The Argus shows great ignorance

who is continually committing havoc
among the people. So says the New

Death is not only the King of ter

TRAIN RUN THROUGH A DRAW-BRIDGE
Fifty Persons Killed!
Heart Rcnding Scenes

A few days ago we we gave brief
Telegraphic notice of the late terrible
catastrophe on the New York and New
Haven railroad. The DELTA Of Sat.
urday has detailed account Of this
heart rending affair, which transcends
every thing of the kind that has hap
pened in America. At place called
Ndfwalk on the road, there is a draw
bridge which has the usual signal
when down, but the engineer regard
less oft, drove the ears along at rap
id rate instead of stopping their mo-
mentuns as is customary when passing
a bridge His excuse for this fend.
ish act is dcduced from the fact that

him to drive like He'll through Nor
walk as two men wanted to get off
there, and he would see them damned
first. 1t is needless to say that the
engineer jumped off just before com.
ing to the gap aid was not seriously
injured.
The engine, two baggage and two
passenger cars were hurled into the
river, which was at high tide. The
distance from the level of the read to
the water is about II feet; the depth
of water about the same The for
ward end of the third passenger car
was smashed up, and the hinder part
prevented the remainder of the train
from sharing the same fate.
The scene beggars description.
Men, women and children, who, a few
moments before, were anticipating the
fortunate termination of their journey.
and meeting with anxiously expectant
friends, were, in the twiokling of an
eye, launched into eternity and forty
six souls were hurried before their
Maker without moments warning.
We omit the names Of killed and
wounded, as we find no one from
Louisiana.
Great gloom hangs over the scene
Of this wholesale murder. The people
gather in groups and speak in sadden-
ed whispers, telling some new incident
in this dreadful tragedy. A young
couple who we're married in New York
last evening, were going to spend
their honeymoon in Boston, when
their happiness was shattered, and the
unfortunate bride, with her jewels and
robes still on her, met with watery
grave. The scene at the car-house
and baggace-room was most solemn
and impressive. Never shall we for
get it. Forty-six bodies of men and
women, and two little children were
laying around The agonized fea-
lures, some covered with horrible con-
tusions, or deep gashes --the foam issu- |
ng from the mouth and nostrils, the |
,lenched teeth and han DIS, and the |
vet garments, formed a tableau mo st

The rally Of Man.


The folly of man is only out-done
by the folly Of woman. Talk about the
good sense Of the daughters Of Amer
lea, OF the women Of England, and the
subject is ike Soue's romance-it
has no end or beginning-it is an air
castleIbuilt upon something even less
substantial than the air itself. Look
for instance at the mawkish stuff
hawked about from paper to paper,
conce+ ning the reception OLA woman,
who has suddenly acaked up to no.
arletyI for having written a story, in
ferior to ten thousand of the same kind
that tie world knows nothing of. The
people talk about her, the poet sings
about her, the press lauds her, the
artist takes her, Mrs. Lady Suther-
land turns out her maids to wait on
her, til E telegraph dispatches, and there
is nobody in the world but Mrs Stowe
Every thing is in motion for Mrs.
Stowe, and the only difference between
her and Wister's Candy is that the
children do not cry-nor the pigs
squeel after her"
A paper is now before us which
says that "two hundred thousand cop
les of the key to Uncle Tom, have
been disposed of. Key-key for what?
Is the story not as transparent as Sim
bad, or the Barron? What needs
then Of a key unless it be to unlock
and expose still more, the folly of the
age, in running after woman for hav-
ING written book. 1t is a matter of
very small moment to us, what the
women of England do with Mrs
Stowe, they may take her on their
shouldd Yrs from Belfast to little Pad
dinton, where she may mount the
stump and make a speech, or turn
sommers sets for the amusement of the
London Cocknies. This cannot have
any other, than beneficial effect on
cheap shows" in this country: but
what W wish seriously to complain
against, is the funny disease into which
our own senseable country-women have
fallen from witnessing the career of
NJ Z" women nvw forget
their sex, and take upon themselves
to canva SIS States to get subscribes to
books. They are of course fattercd
by every gallant young gent, and visi-
ons arise of notoriety and renown which
are calcu lated to jar the" sweet music
of there souls" Are not such delud-
ed Great ilres objects for compassion
Indeed they are, and every well regu-
lated community should be prepared to
take care of them, under the roof of a
well regulated asylum.
We ar one ofthe few growing phi
who believe that every thing
that IS W as intended to be-that woman
was crate d not only for wise but holy
that her sphere is as clearly
defined as the orbit of the moon. We
do not think she was ever designed to
light bait les, fill chairs of State, fool
with politics, or write books.

Texas AND HER MINES OF Cold
For some time past there have been
rumors Of gold diggings being discoy-
cred in Texas, equaling in riches those
of California ~.
These mines are said to be located
upon the upper tributaries of tho Col
Orada in a montaneous region, hitherto
but little explored. Extracts from
Texas papers published near the gold
regions, are copied into the New Or
leans journals; detailing the success
of parties who are at work in the mines.
The latest news from there represent
matters in favorable light, which to-
gether with the short distance from
here has created quite an excitement
among our citizens seveal of whom are
about starting to the newly discovered
Eldorado. 1t is not impossible that
there is gold as plentiful in Texas as
in California, the country being sim
liar in almost every character and fea-
ture.
