SHOCKING ACCIDENT AND DEATH.
A MAN strays into a Stone Quarry and
Breaks his Neck.

Towards the latter part of last week raft
came down the river, stopping here, and the
raftsmen came ashore at Dubuque. Satur>
day afternoon, three Of the raftsmen crossed
the river, and it appears that all, or at least
one, went up to, or at least towards, the clas
sic village Of Menomnee. About eleven
O'Clock Saturday night he started to return to
Dunleith. Between Menominee aud Dun>
eth, for the most of the way, the road leads
between q bluff ascending to the prairie on
the one side. and a bluff descending towards
the river on the other. In several places,
TOO, stone has been quarried for macademlz-
ing purpose, leaving precipices too near the
road, as II has now been sadly proved, for
safety. The man mentioned, on his way to
Dunleith, in the darkness of that rainy night,
strayed from the road, when shout . mile
from town, and tumbled down one Of the
precipices, to the bottom of the stone quar-.
ry, striking upon his head. The distance
was twenty nine feet. He was not Instantly
killed as might have been expected, but be-
ing found by bis two companions and carried
TO place of shelter, fingered till four
o clock Sunday morning. An inquest was
held yesterday, at which these facts were
brought GU. IN testimony. The mans name
we were not able to learn. Upon his person
was found some money, and o deed for some
land in Illinois. His companions speak of
him as a fine man, and the pilot of the raft
gives him good charaeter.-Dmbuque

WANT OF DEcIsIoS.-A good deal of labor
ia lost TO the world for the want Of q little
courage. Every day sends to their graves .
number of obscure men, who have only re-
manned in obseurity because their timidity
has prevented them from making FIRST eff
fort, and who, if they had only been induced
TO begin, would in all probability. have gore
great lengths in the career of fame. The
fact is, that doing anything in the world
worth doing, we must not stand shiyering on
the bank, thinking of the cold and danger,
but Jump in and scramble through a. we'll as
we can 1t will not do to be perpetually cal
culating risks and adjusting nice chances; it
did all very well before the flood, when .
man could consult his friends upon an intend
ed publication for hundred and fifty years,
and live to see its success for SIX or seven
centuries afterwards; but at present man
waits and doubts, and consults his brothers,
and his uncles, and his particular friends, till
one day he finds that he is sixty>hve years OF
age, that he has lost so much time in con-
sulting FIRST cousins and particular friends
that be has no more time to follow their adj
vice. There is so little time for oversquir
mishness ut present, that the opportunity
slips away. The very period Of life at which
. man chooses to venture, If ever, 10 30 con
fined that it has no bad rsle to preach up the
necessity. in such instances, OF . little vlo'
lence done to the feelings. and efforts h1hde
in defiance of strict and sober calculation.

The other evening at the French theatre
| had the pleasure OF an Introduction to Mr.
Crosby, OF Chicago, the proprietor of the
great Opera House.
..Mr Crosby said L. .this is an histori-
cal incident Here the present and future
owner of the Chicago Opera House have met
by accident. AS the Sons of Malta used to
say, let it be recorded
Sir said Mr.. Crosby, recognizing in me
the man of destiny, II should like to know
your initials, SO that the deeds may be made
out properly In so important matter as
this there shond be no mistakes
Grau. who was standing by, and who con
meets every event IN some way or other with
kistori. Immediately inquired If | would lease
him the Opera House tor the Queen of Trag-
edy, aud Of course | at cnce consented.
One must look after his property you
know.
The matter being thus settled, regard
the article in the Round Table upon 1.The
Man Who Draws the Opera House, as aimed
especially at me, and wonder that the pro
prietors Of that periodical should allow their
editors TO attack one who has never done
them favor.
The writer attempts to prove "That the
necessarily be miserable. | can not see it.
The man who does not draw the opera house
may be as miserable as he chooses; but
don intend to die of JOY when get the prize
nor live uncomfortable afterwards.
The writer says that the lucky man will
not be able to utilize his possession. Why,
| have already let it to Grau. He says, that
Ill sell it too cheaply and regret the bargain
afterwards Not at ALL No matter how lit
tie receive for it, shall be satisfied. Some
thing is better than nothing
This absurd writer then goes on to say that
the winner Of the Opera House will be stared
and pointed at, and have his name printed IN
all the newspapers. | never heard that
Stewart and Astor suffered much from this
notorety, and were willing to give up their
fortunes to avoid il; but in order to escape
all trouble | intend visiting Europe for
year
He adds that shall become the prey of
charity mongers, beggars and the like, and
shall be pestered with appeals to my benavo>
lence. To end all controversy on that part,
hereby promise to devote one>tenth OF the
proceeds from the Opera House to the poor
when get it.
You see, my dear Round Table, that this
sort of things won't work. You are not going
to frighten me into parting with my tickets.
/ strongly suspect that you have invested
mony in this enterprise and want to have the
fun all to yourselves. 1t cannot be done.
The prize is mine, and you have wasted your
FIVE dollars.
Perhaps, however, you viii be fortunate
enough to draw Rosenberg Storm in the
Dersert," Gignoux,s "Alpine Scenery" or
Harris American Woods three splendid
pictures now on exhibition at the Art Gal
Iery-apd certainly you ought to be satisfied
with that.
