Horrible Railroad Accident.

About midnight, on the 9th ult,
the Night Express train from Chicago
to Toledo, when between South Bend
and Mishawaka, passing over an en-
bankment spanning ravinc, at the
base of which is culvert. the en-
bankment suddenly gave way, and
the whole train was prccipitated into
the ravine.
The engine was literally buried in
the opposite side of the ravinc in
quicksand and mud, and the tender
baggage and express car, and two
second class cars were shattered al
most into kindling wood, and piled on
the top Of the engine. The two frs
class passenger cars followed, ant
were torn to pieces and carried dowr
the stream, while the sleeping car, al
though making the leap with the rest
was less injured.
The stream is naturally but a rivu
let, but was swollen by the extraor
binary rains of the previous afternoon
and evening. Floodwood probably
checked the culvert, converting the
embankment into dam, and the
great weight of water with the con
cussion of the crossing train, caused
the sad calamity.
About $50 persons were on the
train of these, 60 have been takcr
from the ruins dead, and 80 or &C
more are wounded, or escaped unhurt
1t is feared that many of the other:
not heard from are drowned in the ra
vine.
The United States Express had oveI
$50, 600 in their safe, which broke tt
pieces by the collision, but the agent
has found most of it in the ruins.
One Of the through mail bags wa,
found near the river, two hundrcl
yards from the break but whcthe,
others are lost cannot be told
The ravinc is about 20 feet deep
and rs to 100 feet wide. The nigh
was very dark, which added to the
irightfulness of the scene.

Republican State Convention.

In another place we publish a full
report of the proceedings in the Re
publican State Convention, held a
Des Moines on Wednesday. For Gov
crnor, only two candidates were
named, and after the organization o
the Convention, Gov. Lowe addressed
communication to the Chairman, cx
pressing desire that his name should
not be used, whercupon Mr.. Kirkwood
was nominated by reclamation, amid
great enthusiasm. For Lieutentan,
Governor, the contest was made by
the friends of Mcssrs. Rusch of Scott
Hamilton of Dubuque, and Edwards OF
Lucas county. There was a swarm OF
candidates for the Supreme Judge
ship, the names of fourteen different
gentlemen having been presented at
the first ballot. Nearly all of them,
however, were men of ability and 20.
sition as Lawyers, and would make
competent Judges, by opportunity
The three who were selected have had
more or less experience upon the
bench, and will make able and eff
cicnt members of the State Judiciary
Mr.. kirkwood, the nominee for Gov
ernor, is a resident of Iowa City, a
Lawyer by profession, though farm
or by occupation, vigorous thinker,
and an elegant talker. He is "a plain
man, both in dress and address, but
if his friends know what they pretend
to of his qualities, he possesses unusu-
ally good Executive abilities, is a de-
voted Republican, and withaI an hon
est man. Mr.. Rusch is "a Farmer by
occupation, and at present a member
of the Senate from. Scott county. He
is said to be both capable and willing
to discharge faithfully the duties Of
his present position, and it is not I'M
reasonable to suppose he will bring
the same qualities into reguistion in
the Office for which he has been nomi-
mated. Gov. Lowe is well known to
the people Of the State. If elected, he
will give character to the Judiciary.
Mr.. Stockton is one of the present in
cumbents of the Supreme Bench. He
is Industrious, faithful, and upright.
Mr.. Baldwin has occupied the office of
District Judge, and those who have
known him longest and best, say no
man could have been selected from the
Missouri slope better fitted for the po-
sition than he.
AS whole, the ticket which has
been selected, is good one. The
Northern half of the State has been
ignored in the nominations, yet we
trust it will cvincc none the less devo-
ton to the principles upon which the
Republican party is based, and accom-
plish whatever may ~ in it's power
toward the success of the entire ticket
in the ensuing campaign.-Du. Times

CONVICTION or DoY.-Dr. John boy
of Kansas, who has been imprisoned
for some months in st. Joseph, Nilsson
ri, on charge of abducting slaves
from the latter state, was tried last
week, convicted and sentenced to the
penitentiary for five years. He ad
mitted that he had been engaged for
some years in helping slaves toescape
thinking that thereby he was doing
God service, and declared that on his
release he should do the same thing
again.

Attention is invited to the several
calls for political meetings and con-
ventions, to be found elsewhere in this
paper. In the Senatorial and Repre-
sentative Conventions it is to be hoped
that every county in the district will
be fully represented.

READ THIs.-Dr. Mann, the great discoverer
and vendcr of that world renowned medicine.
DIR. Mann's Ague Balsam, is still in the field
laboring for the good Of the suffering. 1t is
now a settled fact, beyond "a doubt, that this
remedy is very far exceeding anything of the
kind ever before introduced, and we may well
judge why it is so. Because the inventor has
spared no expense nor pains in thoroughly
bringing into general notice, his Balsam, by
means of the Press and the great efficacy OF
the medicine. Hence the result is that it
now stands at the head OF the list of all anti
dotes for all malarious diseases Your atten-
ton is called to the advertisement found in
another column of the present number of our
paper, where testimonials of the highest order
may be found. Sold by all good druggists.

The Germans.

The Dubuque Times says that the
Germans of that City appear to have
seriously offended the Express & Her
aid because they did not turn out and
patronize some American performer
at the Julien Theatre. As but few
Germans read DORIS paper these days
we copy his article in full to show the
estimation they arc held in, by this
immaculate democrat and wire-puller
The miscellaneous performance give
en- by Welsh Edwards, at the Julien
Theatre, Wednesday night, was toler-
ably well attended. Although he was
assisted by the Germania Band, Prof.
Schill, Mr.. Hoffman, Mr.. Myers, and
the flower of the German talent in this
city, there were not three Germans
present. 1t is a popularity of our
German citizens invariably, to expect
the American element to turn out in
force whenever there is any perform
ance going on for the benefit of one of
their own class and just us invari-
ably their rule to stay at home when
performance is given by, and for the
benefit of an American.
We fully appreciate the right of ev-
cry man to attend when and where he
pleases, but we don't exactly believe
in this species of ing handle" re-
ciprocity, which is all on one side.
This is not founded particularly upon
the attendance Wednesday, but it is
invariably the case. 1t isn't fair
shake--if we are to drink our share OF
the lager, eat our proportion of Bolog,
ma sausage (Which we're perfectly
willing to do, let our German citizens
return the compliment and occasion,
ally manifest by their appearance at
some other than their own gatherings,
that they arc disposed to give as well
as receive. The quicker this clanisn
can be abolished in Democratic
country like ours, the better. If pre-
cisely the same performance had oc
CURED Wednesday night, with the
same actors, but had it been for the
benefit of Prof. Schill, instead Of Ed
wards, the hall would have beer
crowded by Germans in every avail
able inch Of space.
Our German citizens have arrived
at a pretty state of affairs, when they
can't exercise that right which be
longs to them as free citizens, to WISH
or stay away from places of public
amusement, without being assailet
through the columns of newspapc
which is continually roaring like ;
lion about the rights of foreigners.

Sweet, Sweet Home.


What is home? Amagic word, asound
that falls upon the ear like the strain of
a flute; as it il bo ne out on the still
evening air. What is home? Ask the
mariner, as he rocks upon the tossed
deep. His time-worn brow soften, his
bosom heaves with the rush of youth
full thoughts, as he points to the dim
line where sea and cloud blend together,
and he tells you. "1here!'' and the
bowling storm, he bethinks him of
home, that beloved spot, which lies oui
on the welcome len; and signs. Ask
the classic youth who just free from
his dina 1Nater, roams over the wide
spreading prairie, or climbs over the
blue mountains of the west, overlooking
far reaching wales, and exhausting
horizon after horizon, encirculating hill,
and vale, and upland slope and wind
ing river; ask him if he thinks of home,
and he will tell you that each returning
evening speaks of it, and that as he
turns his eyes to the cloud that, tinged
by the farewell rays of the departed
sun, hangs far in the east, and seems in
Imagination to sleep over the place of
his birth he is in an instant there. Oh,
sacred, breathing thoughts! The soul is
lost in sea of memory! Dwelling
grove, and solemn lores are animated.
Scene after scene, association after
association comes rushing upon the
mind, and in a moment his past life
comes back upon him. Who forgets
the parents last look, the parting kiss,
and the loved ones tears? The
splendid mansion, or lowly cottage
fertile plain or barren rock, all are
hallowed as we look back upon them
through the vista Of years. 1t may be
that the foot prints of decay are there
that the village church is crumbling
the walls of the paternal dwelling
sinking to ruin. and around them the
woodbine is clinging, yet there, and
where ever the wild grass waves Over
the graves of our sires, there Home is
there we began to live, there we love
to linger.
