"Many of our readers will recollect that
some six years ago this community was
startled to learn that young man, well
known in our best social circle, the son of
q prominent citizen, had suddenly and
mysteriously disappeared. The papers
for n short time were filed with accounts
of this strange occurrence, and enormous
rewards were offered by his bereaved and
asonized family.
Detectives were sent to every town In

rienced detectives had given up the search,

SHOCKING ACCIDENT on SATURDAY
NIGHT-THREEM MEN FRIGHTFULLY BURNED.
An accident Of terrible character oc-
Cured in the basement of the premises
No. 4S2 Eighth avenue, on Saturday night.
The police and passers-by were appraised Of
the disaster in most novel and terrific
way, which was no other than that of a
burning man rushing through the street
and screaming at the top of his voice.
The night was quite dark, and the spec
tacle is described by eye-witnesscs to have,
been of most appalling character. They
were suddenly astonished and alarmed at
first by what appeared to be column of
fire, about fifteen feet in height, bursting
from the basement of the tenement men,
toned, and rushing down the street at
fearful speed, accompanied by the most
appalling screams, which appeared to issue
from the very bosom of the blazing shaft.
Women and children fled in terror, many
of the people probably regarding the spec
taclc with superstitious awe, and even
hardy men were for the moment para
lyzed with fear.
The rushing, roaring, bowling mass Of
flame sped down the street like an omen
of death for nearly an entire block, the
flames scorching the awnings and sign
boards overhead as they leaped high up
into the sky, fiinging lurid lustre over the
street, while, at the same time, the accom-
panying shrieks increased in volume and
intensity until they finally ceased. The
pillar of fire swayed to and fro, and finally
fell to the ground.
The police then became aware that the
flaming column was a burning man, whose
clothes had taken fire from the explosion
of a kerosene lamp, occasioned by care
lessness, in the basement of No. 4s2 Eighth
avenue. The unfortunate man (Antoine
REICH was cared for, but it is not expected
that he can recover.
Two others, the proprietor and man
named George Delfman, were also dread
fully burned. The fire in the premises was
eXtinguished by the efforts of the police,
with the loss Of only fifty dollars to the pro-
pretor.-Ne,o York Tribune, 30th.

And thus died the Rev. Henry Clannard

Hon. ALEXANDER III. STEPHENs.-Wc
have had the singular pleasure of length
cned interview with this eminent Geor-
gian, this incompatible statesman. 1t
will be matter of generalization to thou
sands all over the South that his health
is better than at any time during the last
thirty years, and his hopes of liberty more
secure, since 1859, when, with prophetic
vision, he saw the coming anarchy, and,
feeling that madness ruled the hour against
reason, retired from the House Of Repre-
sentatives at Washington.
Mr.. Stephens has well-grounded antici-
pations of final reaction against tanati-
cism and abSolutism. He does not believe
that the Mountain Party can rule always
against the sterling common sense OF the
country's intellect. He very properly con-
ceives that when once brought together in
rational discussion there will be mighty
return to olden principles. Abiding that
time, it behooves the South to be tempe
rate and possessed of the wisdom that
comes from moderation.
By iudicious combination of various
conservative elements, all will yet be well.
The Democrats have gained immensely in
lnc w cSl anu Wei y la iioui bNih5 u''Nii
annihilated, as our Washington correspond
ent suspects, they will, if rightly guided,
make formidable changes in the status of
the next Congress.
Mr.. Stephens very aptly compares the
present condition of the country to an
oyerthrown Hercules, Frustrated by the
unsocketing of his whole osSeous system.
Put back the gigantic limbs in their normal
places and the prone Titan will erect him
self at once. The great danger now is that
this disjointing of the physical economy
will SO shock the nervous government as
to produce species of political tetanus.
All good men and true must labor to re-
place what has become so terribly un-
hinged.
We are free to confess that Mr.. Stephens
has infused new life into us, and had the
politicians of our day but half his sagacity
and patriotism, it would not be long before
new life would be kindled in the sluggish
veins of the great Republic.-AuguSta
