A TERRIBLE SMASH UP.-Thc train that
left Yincennes on Thursday morning on the
Mississippi and Ohio Railroad for st Louis,
was thrown off the track, and several Of the
cars, and the tender pretty badly smashed up;
the wreck of the matter was frightful; though
fortunately no lives were lost. The Vincen-
mes Sun says. The accident was caused by
the breaking Of the axle Of The tender and &C.
cured about daylight five miles this side Of
Sandoyal. The cars were thrown down an
embankment OF IS feet, turned bottom up
wards, and almost completely demolished
the seats were torn from their places, stoves
scattered in every direction, and the passen-
gers were piled up promiscously, bat, strange
to say, no one was seriously injured.

AYEcDoTE OF JoHN RANDoLpH-All who
have read the life of this great man will re-
member the great Importance he attached to
correct pronunciation. His biographer, Mr..
Garland, records the fact of his correcting
DIR. Parish twice in his manner of pronounc-
ing words, while the doctor was reading him
a short article the day before his DEATH and
that when the doctor hesitated about adopt
ing Mr. Randolph's mode of pronunciation,
the dying man exclaimed, in his usual impa-
tient and absolute manner: Pass on, sir
pass on; there can be no doubt about it,
This had seemed to me to be slightly colored
by the biographer, but the accompanying in
cident convinced me that it was but the rul-
ing passion strong in death. When Tazewell
was at the zenith of his fame, on one occa-
sion he made speech at the bar. surprising
even himself in eloquence. On finishing,
Randolph approached him and complained
bitterly, with an oath, that it was fated that
nothing human should be perfect Tazewel,
who was receiving impassioned congratula-
tons from his friends, asked Randolph
what he meant His questioner, with his
usual acerbity, Indignantly demanded: Why
did you not say 'hor zon instead of hor izonr
Were it not for that id barbarism, there
would have been one perfect human produc-
ton"

History OF THE CENT.-The cent was pro-
posed in 1882 by Robert Morris, the great
financier of the Revolution, and was named
by Jefferson, two years later 1t began to
make its appearance from the Mint in 1892
1t bore then the head of Washington on one
side and a chain of thirteen links on the 9TH
err The French Revolution soon after crea-
ted a rage for French ideas in America, which
put on the cent, instead of head of Wash
ingnon, the head of the goddess of Liberty
Ia French Liberty, with neck thrust for
ward and flowing locks. The chain on the
reverse was replaced by the olive wreath of
Peace.
But the French Liberty was short lived,
and SO was her portrait on our cent. The
present stad classic dame, with fillet round
her hair, came into fashion abont thirty or
forty years ago. the finely chiselled Grecian
features have been but slightly altered by
the lapse of time.
The new cent is to be one-eighth nickel
and consequently much smaller, and much
more convenient 1t viii be of lighter col
or when new, though probably as dark when
old A flying eagle is to take the place Of
Liberty's head, in order that it may not be
mistaken for the five dollar gold iece--Al6a.

A MARVELLOUS SToRy-The Rockport IN.
Y. Republic has the following, which comes
under the head of marvellous, if true:"-
About three years ago, a girl was walking
on the beach of the lake, north of this place,
with young man to whom she related a
wonderful dream of the previous night, in
which it was revealed to her that she should
find large sum of money upon the shore
The young man was to have half for assisting
her in the search. Directly they came to a
dead body, which, from its appearance, and
the size of the head, (nearly as large as a
bushel basket) had evidently been in the wa
ter for some time. At the sight, they both
tainted away, but soon recovered, and ventur-
ing to examine it, discovered about it belt
containing large package of money in bills
this they counted and found the amount
as stated. They buried the body to prevent
discovery, and also the money, which they
agreed not to disturb for three weeks. At
the expiration of the time, the young man
returned to the place; the money was miss
ing. His companion acknowledged she had
taken it, and would take care of it until he
was 90, which, would be in three years. As
the time has expired. he demands his half,
which she answers by denying the whole
statement. The young man tells friend,
and it spreads like wild fire. Report says, a
large company of men, armed with spades
and shovels, are to-day looking for the bones
of the stranger. The excitement has been
very much increased by the fact that pro-
peler was wrecked three years ago, and that
a gentleman, supposed to be Spaniard, a
stranger to the passengers who we're saved
was lost. Some parties, formerly rather
hard up, report says, have been flush of late
speculating very largely in real estate and ma
king great show generally.
Later.-We just learn that bones answer
ing to the fact Of the burial, have been dis
covered in the woods about a mile from the
beach.

A DEAD FAILuRE-We were returning
from the great Boston and Fashion Race on
Long Island, and as it is generally the case
at such time there was queer crowd on
tho train, and the conductor experienced dif-
fculty in collecting fare.
In the motley mass was a seedy looking
Dutchman, who took seat just in front of
US, and we noticed as the collector of the
tickets and 'rhino' approached, he twisted
about uneasily, and looked particularly ner-
vous
At length the dead money demander stood
confronting him.
Fare sir" said he extending his palm.
Didn't pait you before 7" answered Hans
with wretched effort to look surprised.
No, you din't paid me before,n sneered
the conductor. "Come fork over"
"Vel, den, | 'spose pays you agin," said
the Dutchman. 81 doesen't won't no troub-
les about it," and be continued feeling in his
pockets. After much fumbling he pulled out
a suspicious looking Spanish dollar, and ham
ded it over.
"Look here my fine fellow" said the con-
ductor, rubbing his thumb over the coin,
"that won't do with me-you must pass your
bogus money on somebody greener'
" Vot ism de matter?" queried the Dutch
man as he took the coin back
"The matter is" said the conductor begin
ming to get impatient, that your money is bad
and you must pay or get out of the cars.
Men Got !" exclaimed Hans 'ef dat is
paid dollar, den the tam rascal on the
track sheat me-for pet him NIT tollar,
u t wins, unit he gif me dat yust as was
inter de cars"
"Well,' said the conductor, "if you bet
dollar with man, and You won, and he paid
you just as you was getting into the cars,
you haven't had chance to spend any money
since, and so you have the dollar you bet
with him-hand overlp

about feet-"O yas, had tollar to pet
NIT him-mine was bad one tool"

The Menagerie in California.
BY A. SNOWMAN.

Although this is new country, we have
already as great variety Of animals as can
be found in any other part of the world
Some of these are of domestic growth, Others
are of foreign origin, imported expressly for
exhibition in this State.
Learned dogs and educated pigs have
been strictly excluded from the collection; as
it was well known that any display of culti-
vated intellect was not received with favor
by our sight loving population
One great singuarity, observable in the
animals of the'present show, is that they are
all bpeds, however much their names may
suggest the idea of four legs, or no legs at
all. This is owing entirely to the accident of
birth, and we assure you, ladies and gentle
men, that the beasts, birds and fishes that
will be introduced to your notice in this and
succeeding exhibitions, had no choice in the
manner of their going, but "got up and got"
on the bipedal plan, because they were "to
the manor born"
1t is difficult for casual observer to de-
eide as to what class or species many of the
specimens belong; as there are some qualities
in each that SO closely resemble the habits of
Others that it requires close study to proper
ly arrange them in families.
TrLo e,e+ animal ehoII br;,rr to vo,r -,
tice is
THE CAMEL.
This is celebrated beast of burden and
not of prey as is held by some naturalists,
from the fact of his frequently kneeling be-
meath his load He was originally imported
from the banks of the Nile, river of Egypt
subject to annual overflow; at which times
its waters spread over the rich alluvions and
interfered in the manufacture Of mummies,
(and the womanfacture also, as many female
mummies were likewise made.)
The law of nature so beautifully ilIustra-
ted in Hoyle, that "every wrong has its
remedy" is especially exemplifed in this ami
NAL, as his powers of absorption are such
that it required but few of them to deplete
the swollen river to its natural size. Their
being then driven to the desert highlands ac-
counts for the source of that wonderful
stream.
The liquid capacity of the camel is only
equaled by its desire to imbibe.
In the minds of the enquiring it has ever
been question as to where all the liquors in
showman's bottle come from, while here the
wonder is, where the fluid is retained which
the animal is capable of pouring down.
The haunts of the camel are invariably
around liquor saloons and beer cellars, ever
watchful and ready to absorb any overplus Of
moisture that is brought to bis notice. He
is easily lured to his work mere nod of the
head, or peculiar lifting of the eyebrows
towards him as you stand at the counter, and
he is instantly on hand; whilea "come, Sam, I"
or "boys, take drink" never fails to bring
him to the spot where the overflow is expect
ed. Indeed, so anxious is the camel to be
fulfilling his mission of perpetual suction, that,
unless closely watched by the keeper. he will,
unasssted, help himself to the flowing ele-
ment.
This he does not from love of the fluid,
as is plainly seen by his shudders Of disgust,
and awful faces when he takes drink

My Mary.

She blossomed in the country,
Where sunny summer filings
Her rosy arms about the earth,
And brightest blessings brings.
Health was her sole inheritance,
And grace her only dover:
never dreamed the wildwood
Contained SO sweet flower
Far distant from the city,
And inland from the sea,
My Mary bloomed in goodness
As pure as pure could be.
She caught her dewy freshness
From hill and mountain bower,
] never dreamed the wildwood
Contained so sweet a flower.
The rainbow must have lent her
Some of its airy grace;
The wild rose parted with blush
That nestled on her face.
The sunbeam got entangled in
The long waves of her hair,
Or she had never grown to be
So modest and so fair.
The early birds have taught her
Their joyous matin song,
And some of their soft innocence,
She's been with them so long.
And for her now, if need be.
I'd part with wealth and power;
/ never dreamed the wildwood
Contained so sweet flower.

A HEARTY LAueH-After ALL saws the
Dublin University Magazine, what capital,
kindly, honest, jolly, glorious good thing,
laugh is! What tonicl What digesterl
What febrifuge! What an exorciser Of
evil spirits! Better than nap before dinner,
or walk before breakfast. How it shuts
the mouth of malice, and opens the brow of
kindnessl Whether it discovers the gums of
infancy or age, the grinders of folly, or the
pearls of beauty; whether it racks the sides,
and deforms the countenance of yulgarity, or
dimples the visage, or moistens the eve of
refinement, in all its phases, and on all its
faces, comforting, relaxing, overwhelming,
convusing, throwing the human countence
into something appropriate to Billy Buttons
transformation-und every circumstance,
and everywhere, laugh is glorious thing.
of beauty" it is "a joy forever" There is
no remorse in it. 1t leaves no sting--except
in the sides and that goes off, Even single
unparticipated laugh is great affair to wit
ness. But it is seldom single. tits more in
fectious than scarlet fever. You cannot
gravely contemplate a laugh. If there is
one laughter, and one witness, there are forth

vulsion is propagated like sound What a

WoMAN's FoRruuDE.--I have often had
occasion to remark the fortitude with which
women sustain the most Overwhelming re-
verses of fortune. Those disasters which
breakdown the spirit of man, and PROSTATE
him in the DUST seem to call forth all the en-
erges of the softer sex, and give such intre-
pidity and elevation to their character. that
at times it approaches to sublimity. Moth
ing can be more touching than to behold a
soft and tender female, who has all weakness
and dependence, and alive to every trivial
roughness, while treading the prosperous path
of life, suddenly rising in mental force to be
the comforter, and supporter Of her husband
under misfortune, and abiding, with unshrink-
ing frmness, the bitterest blasts Of adyersity.
