Another terrible railroad disaster has
occurred at the West, upon the Ohio and
Mississippi Railroad, and like that upon
the Hannibal and st. Joseph railroad ,

ice of traitors. The train on the Ohio
and Mississippi road contained portion
of the 18th Illinois regiment. While pass
in over bridge near Huron, Ind, it fell
through. precipitating six cars into the
chssm, killing and wouDding over one
hundred men. 1t is thought that ffty are
killed outright
Tne indications are strong that the
bridge was tampered With by malicious
or traitorous persoos. The bridge vas
sixty feet span, ten #. high and was late
ly inspected.

IN LOVE WITH CALICO.

Some young gentlemen in Phoenix has
been caught in the meshes of love and cali.
CO. Under the inspiration of the OCCASION
he pronounees seulogy on calico ~ fol
lows: 7sa. .e
"Calico dresses are grand institution.
Delaines, silks, and even satins are good
enough in their place-in the parlor or
bandbox, and all such:
But after all the old ssstand BY, |" the sub
staDtiai, is the shilling calico. Cara must
be taken not to soil the silk, nothing must
come 10 contact with the nice dress that
will at all rumple or stain it; but the cali
CO that's made for work, and, as the "high-
falutins,' say, sspobly does it fulfill its mis-
siop." Silk rarely finds its way into the
realities Of life; shat is, into the kitchen at
home, or into the hut of the suffering
abroad.
But calico. o! what rich meals We get
by it.; and how it cheers the suffering as
its bright colors and cheering presence
stands with soft band ministering to our
distresses. r .rs4 -.s g,
Calico seems to be always more willing
and ready co give to want than silk. It is
. curious fact Of our nature, that often the
nicer our dress the harder our heart 10, As
if when dressed in silks We change our ma
ture and rise above base worldly things.
What our silk dress be seen near enough
to that poor woman or child to give them
assistance, or drabbling into dirty hut
No, never! Calico might do it; bat Silk,
its Just impossible. ....s...
But when in addition to all, Calico comes
in, rosy with the exercise of kitch duties
which IL knows how tn do 40 we'll and loves
to do 90 dearly, and sits down at the piano
or melodian, and makes the liquid melody
dow sweetly forth; aye, even blending its
own sweet voice with the music Of the in
strument, then We appreciate Calico"
