1T FATAL RAILROAD AccIDEyT.-On
Wednesday morning last, the passenger train
on the Grand Trunk which left Sherbrooke for
Montreal at one o'clock, when near the Wilcox
place, about two miles and half below this,
Town, came in contact with broken rail,
throwing the sleeping car, in which were
several passengers, mostly from this place,
down the dump, killing one of the brakesmen
named Duclos, and slightly iniuring one of
the lady passengers. The train proceeded
some distance before it was checked, and
backing up took on board the passengers
from the sleeping car and again proceeded on
its way, arriving at Montreal about one hour
behind time.
this way ran off the track little below the
Windsor Station. No one was hurt and not
much damage done.-Sherbrook Gaz cite.

Stage-Life.

From recent we'll written, but in the
main, unjust criticism of the late James
Sheridan Knowles, which recently appear
ed in "Blackwood's Magazine" we take
the following remarks upon stage-lfc in
general:
"And how strange thing is this stage
life! What strange loves and hates, viz
tues aud vices, ambitions and heroisms, Of
all kinds are seen moving about in this
mimic world! If the stage does hold a
mirror up to nature, it is one of those con-
vex mirrors which produce very pretty
pictures at times, very distinct, wherein
many objects are gathered into little
space which the eye at once takes in Gone
secret Of the pleasure both of the convex
mirror and the work of art J but there is
always some distortion; the proportions are
never true. Love and ambition, as seen
In this mirror, assume the most distrac-
ting forms. Every ambitious man seems

qualification of saying to his body guard,

nomists and hundred others, one very
notable meeting has almost escaped pub
lie attention. A few days ago our Paris
correspondent told us that congress Of
the members of the ilustrious house of
Rothschild had been sitting at Paris
The purport of the meeting was nothing
less than to rearrange the dominious of the
great banking dynasty. In Que word, the
great object of the Rothschild Congress
was to reduce the FIVE branches of the
house who now rule Europe to four, and
following the example of Garibaldi, to
strike another sovereign of Naples from
the list of reigning monarchs. Hence
forth there are to be but four kings of the
house Of Rothschild, with secure thrones
at London, Paris, Vienna aud Frankfort.
1t is now exactly hundred years since
poor Jew, called Mayer Anselm, made his
appearance at the city of Hanover, bare
footed, with sack on his shoulders and
Bundle of rags on his back Successful in
trade, like most of his co-religionists, he
returned to Frankfort at the end of few
years and set up small shop in the "Jew
lane,' over which hung the signboard of a
red schild, called in German roth schild.
AS dealer in old and rare coins, he made
the acquaintance of the Serene Elector of
Hesse Cassel, who, happening to be in
want of confidential agent for various
open and secret purposes, appointed the
shrewd looking Mayer Anselm to the post.
The Serene Elector, being compelled soon
after to fly his country, Mayer Anselm took
charge of his cash, amounting to several
millions of forms. With the instinct Of
his race, Auselm did not forget to put the
money out on good interest, SO that before
Napoleon was gone to Elba, and the illus
trious elcctor had returned to Cassel, the
capital had more than doubled. The rul-
er Of ,Hesse Cassel thought it almost a
MAJ vel to get his money safely returned
from the jew lane of Frankfort, and at
the Congress of Vienna was never tired of
singing the praise Of his Hebrew agent to
all the Princes of Europe. The dwellers
under the sign of the Red Shield laughed
in their sleeves; keeping carefully to them
selves the great fact that the electoral two
million forms had brought them four mil
lions of their own. Never was honesty a
better policy. go

Withdrawal of Fremont,

BOSTON, Sept. 22.-The following let
ter ofGen. Fremont, Withdrawing as can.
didate for the Presidency, is published to-
day:
Boston, Sept. 21.-Gentlemen: I feel
it my duty to make one step porc in the
direction. indicated in my letter of the
25th of August, and Withdraw my name
from the listof candidates.
The presidential campaign has in effect
been entered upon in such way that the
union of the republican party has become
permanent necessity. The policy of the
democratic party signifies either separa-
or re-establishment with slavery. The
Chicago platform is simply separation.-
GEN. MGClellap's letter of acceptance is re-
establishment with slavery. The repub-
licap candidate on the contrary is Piled ged
to the re-establishment Of the Union with
out slavery, and however hesitating his
policy may be, the pressure of his party will
we, may hope, force him to it.
Between these issues | think no man of
the liberal party can remain in doubt, and
| believe ! am consistent with my antece-
depts in, Withdrawing, not to aid the tri-
umph Of Mr. Lincoln, but to do my part
toward, preventing the election of the dem.
ocratic candidate.
In respect to Mr.. Lincoln, l continue
to hold exactly the sentiments contained
in my, letter of acceptance. l consider
his administration has been politically,
militarily and financially failure, and its
necessary continuance is cause of regret
to the country. There never was greater
unapimity in country than was exhibit,
here at the fall ofSumter, and tho South
was powerless in the face of it, but Mr..
Lincoln completely paralysed this general
feeting. He destroyed the strength of the
position, and divided the North when he
declared to the South that slavery should
be protected. He has built up for the
South strength which otherwise they
could never have attained, and this has
given them an advocate in tho Chicago
platform. The Cleveland convention was
to have been the open avowal of that con-
demnatiop which men had been fully ex-
pressing to each other for the past two
years, and which had been fully made
known to the President. But, in the un-
certain condition of affairs, leading men.
were not, found willing to make public
dissatisfaction and condemnation which
could have rendered Mr.. Lincoln's nomi.

lence and support establishes for him a

is permissible. Many men love at first
and some there are who repeat the feat
day after day, But the stage-lover, whose
passion is but deep, nevertheless loves
with the oonstancy Of a martyr. His is a
passion which starts into existence like the
lightning, but which flames persistent as
the sun in heaven! Ye powers of fate or
chance. ye can do nothing against it
There may be every reason in the world
not to lcve-loss of fortune, loss of friends,
loss of sef-respect and the lady may. be

One would naturally suppose that what
seems lmprob liable when told to us, would be
still more flag ant impessibility when ac-
ted. But it is not so; it is quite otherwise.
The fact that living man is there, speak
ing and moving before us, carries away our
credcnce for a moment. Seeing is be-
lieving. We tremble for the mailman be-
fore US, or laugh at his preposterous folly;
but that he exists is manifest. We do
not take the trouble at the time of reason,
ing himo of existence; of proving that he.
is and must be, nonentity. He asserts
his reality to our very senses of sight and
hearing. And this explains what we
we must all have observed, that many
broad farces p lease upon tue stage, which
simply offend by their extravaganza if we
attempt to read them. When we read the
printed book, we think of the author,
and wonder that he could devise such i'm
probable stuff; wnen we see the piece &C.
ted, the same extravaganza makes US roar
with laughter, because our incredulity is
fairly overcome, aud we think of nothing
but the actual fool, or the intense absurd
