Railroad Accidents.

Collisions and fatal accidents have been
remarkably numerous for the past few
weeks. The cause of these accidents is
worthy of consideration. They have fire.
quenly been attributed to oulpable care
lessness on the part of the conductors Of
freight trains. and this too seems plausi-
BILE. We alude. of course, to those acoi-
dents which result from collision Of
trains. But, there seem to be other acei-
dents than those above referred to. For
instance, a recent dispatch 10 Cincinnati
states that the night Express train going
west, on the Steu5envile and Indiana
road. ran through a bridge thirteen miles
west of the former pl ace. aud the entire
train, which was 6lled with passengers,
was precipita.ed down below. In this
catastrophe some twenty orthirty persons
are reported killed-how many wounded
is not STAYED. The wounded, however
will probably average much larger. These
are the accidents that are most to be de
plored. The most fearful loss of life gen
orally occurs at some bridge. The prob
lem to be solved is whether railroad com
panies are in the habit Of employing good
men to guard these places. True, the!
say they do. yet about fvo cases out o
ten, by investigation it has been foun'
that. the met thus employed are trades
men Of some sort. and that in reality the,
pay but little attention to the concerns o
the company. AS a general thing com
panies use too great an effort to cut o.
expenses. without due respect for thei
true value, and hence a failure 10 prOyid

10 Cross the Atlantic.

The balloon | would propose to use to
cross the Atlantic would be 100 feet in
diameter, and would contain 5q9. 500
cubic feet Of hydrogen gas. This would
give the balloon an ascending power of 80,

The way I would guide this balloon
would be with drag line, by having a

This balloon would be suspended in
the center Of the larger one, so when the

contracted the air balloon would be filled
again, so as TO keep the gas balloon full

THE GREAT ISSUE.

When the English bill WAS pending
before Congress, Governor Walker made
two predictions if the bill passed;
lst That the Leoomplon Constitution
would be rejected by an overwhelming
majority Of the people Of Kansas. and Of
every county Of Kansas.
Cd. That the Territorial Legislature o.
Kansas, elected in October next, upon i''
assembling next January, would call

How the Democracy Love The Poor N lan,

How the Democracy Love the Poor Man.
AS an evidence of how much the De-
mocracy love the poor man, see list OF
some of their prominent acts;
One Of their number stole three quar-
ters of q million from the State Treasury
and is defended in the act by all the lea
ders OF the party.
A Democrat introduced bill into the
Senate, increasing the rates Of postage,
which received almost every Democratic
vote.
They passed a law In the Ohio Lagisla-
ture, requiring taxes to be paid in gold
and silver; so much this year, more the
next, until all has finally to be paid ia
specie, thus putting the poor man in the
clutches of bankers and banks.
They passed law requiring the funds
to be kept in the Treasurer's Office, and
authorizing the purchase Of costly safes,
for which every county will be taxed from
FIVE hundred 10 two thousand dollars.
They rs-distrioted the State. making a
large number Of additional Judgeships, TO
satisfy tho cravings Of party hangers-on,
Crawford and Wyandot by this operation
pay the nice little sum Of 1900, extra, foI
about Two months work
They have 10 Ohio. created new Offices
that we're totally useless except TO depicts

In short. give them the control Of af'
fairs for few years more, and taxes
would be more than rents.

selves to be thus plundered?

There is not, on that sacred shrine,

And lie from out that sacred desk,
And from that holy stand
Glad tidings Of great joy are preached,
Throughout our own bright land.

Where Christ spake heavenly words that thrill
Our hearts to music now.
All little thought that listening crowd,
Ofevery age and climei
That some would grow so woudrous wise
After SO long a time.
Tha' they would sit in doubt and gloom,
Darkness their minds invade;
They'd lure the sinner further still,
That from the fold hath sirayed,
Why isit ye would strive to make,
oh ye misguided few,

And not Of justice too
Go for your minds arc dark and drear,
Go! aud implore the light;

Dispersin, clouds Of night;

The way, the truth, the life,
And whosoe'er onshim believes,
