DUSK Browse IN BURLINGTCN. - Mr..
"Dunn Browne" the foreign correspondent
of the Springfield Republican, has published
his letters from Europe in book form. After
giving his experiences in foreign parts he
winds up with the following chapter of his
experience in his native land.
"Wcll, it is hard thing to be obliged to
own up to, but that unhesitating regard for
truth which has borne him safely through SO
many perilous variations, where the tempt

gerated more or less, that stern, unfllnchirg

come at last "a suspicious character that
he has been very nearly arrested as n gem

unfortunate wanderer in II Green Mountain
Jail as the leader of gang of Tickpockcts.

NIcARAGUAN NEws.-Ihe New York Times
contains some correspondence from San Juan
del Norta, which gives some interesting in
formation from Central America
San Juan, on the 2Oth ult., was filled
with rumors-oue of which was that the
Costa Ricaus had captured the steamship
Sierra Nevada; and another that Walker
had lett for San Jose, with the view of cary
ing the war into the enemies country. The
report that he was surrounded at St Georges
proves to have been unfounded Some
curious letters have been brought to light
one from Morgan x Sons to General Walker,
and another said to be from George Law to
General llanningsen, both accompanied By
large supply Of arms and ammunition, An
exciting scene had taken place in conse
quence of the interference of the British -
Capt Erskine, it seems, had searched among
Walkers recruits for British subjects, and
had Threatened Colonel L)ckbridge with the
adoption of forcible means if he refused to
give them up. The Colonel had no power
to resist, and some dozen Of his men left
him, and ayailed themselves Of the offer Of
British protection.

CATHEDRAL At MoNrREAL.-A project
has been started in the Roman Catholic
Churches in Montreal for the erection of q
splendid Cathedral. which in size and mag
nifcence is to surpass any edifce Of the
kind on the continent. The location selected
is near the present residence of the Bishop,
by the Old French Burying Ground in the
Saint Antoine Suburbs which being a com
manding position, overlooking the western
and lower parts .f the city, will display the
building to the best advantage. 1t is to be
built after the model of ST. Peter at Rome
The length is to be three hundred and fifty
feet, breadth one hundred and seventy-hve
feet, and height Of dome three hundred feet
1t will contain ten or twelve separate chap
els and two large organs, and the time cal
culated for Its completion is not less than
twelve years Tie cost of erection, estim
ated at more than a million Of dollars, is to
be betrayed by yearly tax levied upon
every Catholic man, woman and child in the

S>ow. Tho Lancaster (Pa.) Express des
cribes a very singular accident on the Col
lurnba Rail Road as follows This morn
ming about one o'clock trightful accident
occurred on the Philadelphia railroad near
Chrlstiana. The express train which left
Philadelphia last night at eleven o'clock.
composed Of q baggage car and two pas
sengrr cars, was drawn by Il freight loco
motive, the recent storm having diSarrln ged
the schedule which assigns a particular loco
motive to each trAia. After they lett Parks
burg, and had proceeded a mile, the pas
sengers inferred from peculiar motion
Of the cars that they were off the track. and
it was subsequently discovered that this in
ference was correct.
The conductor drew the rope attached to
the signal bell s) violently that it broke,
but the engineer either did not understand
the signal, or paid no attention to it.
On the train went, whizzing over the
snow track, now and then humping over
an exposed cross tie--on, passed Pennirg-
tonyille round the curve and over the bridge
at Christian, until halta mile this side
the ladies' ear became detached and capslzad
| On still the steam horse galloped. evidently
pleased at the feat of railroading without
the use of rails, and no doubt in love with
the driver WHO lHus gave MN loose run
without ever looking back to see whether
his train kept up. until, about half mile
from the point where the ladies' car became
detached, the second car also went over,
breaking the coupling, and smashing the
rear end of the ear all to pieces.
The most singular feature of the accident
! is that no lives were lost and but few per-
sons injured. One account states that but
one lady was injured, another there We're
three of them-but the wonder is that all
were not MANNED or killed The truck
wheels and other fragments Of the broken
cars were scattered along the track for the
distance of a mile, the cars being almost
entirely demolished. When it was first
| discovered that the cars were off the track,
the passengers We're in great terror, and ..all
rose to their feet but they passed SO
smoothly over the Christiana bridge, that
they concluded they must be on the track,
and had Just fairly seated themselves when
the crash came upon them
The cars, it appears were thrown oil tue
track by the breaking of a rail, and the
rain must have run about four miles before
the engineer discovered that any thing was
wrong.

The bogus Kansas Legislature has two
new laws before it, designed to perfect the
means by which.free State men con be driven
from the Territory. One provides that per-
sons may be admitted to bail d" for all
crimes whatsoever but at the same time
provides that bail shall be given or refused
at the discretion Of the Court, SO that the
free State men may be excluded from the
privilege. The operation of this law under
the rulIiau judiciary is not at all doubtful
The other new law changes the boundaries
of the judicial district, 50 as to place Law
renee and Douglas county in Judge Cato's
district. This is intended to keep the body
of the free State citizens under the control OF
the Ruliln Courts, from fear or aprre-
henson tnat the successor of Judge Le-
compte may be inclined to do justice,

was gathering there. Supposing this to be
owing to his striking personal appearance
and to the polish acquired by his friction
against the aristocratic old world, he mere
ly continued his walk with perhaps a slight
accession of dignity to his gait. But find
ing the excitement rather on the increase,
seeing young ladies silly pointing him out
to one another with their parasols, obser-
wing knots Of people conversing together
in whispers, and two, after some consulta-
ton with the others, coming out Of group
towards him, n new thought struck Mr.. Il.
"Col. Fremont is also good looking man

approached. The elder, a hard looking per-

The two departed the old man muttering
"I'll larn you what right have to ask

Mr.. b. quietly continued his promenade
being most carefully watched lest he should
attempt to escape before the officers arrived.
Several burly men soon came down to the
landing, who looked as if they might be
constables, but whether they were or not

Ere the evening lamps are lighted.

Like the stars, so still and saint-like,
Looking downward from the skies.
Uttered not, yet comprchendod,

Soft rebukes, IN blessings ended,
Breathing from her lips Of air.
