Man and w oman.

In the Garden eff Eden the Devil
considered the woman as the head of
the family, else he would not have
gone first to her with his persuasion.
When the strongholds are captured,
of course the weaker fortresses fall
without a struggle.
Such was the status of woman in
the epoch ofinhocence and happiness.
But the advent of sin transferred the
to man, who has to this
day been considered in law and in
fact as the head of the household.
Why sin should have worked so
greatly to the disadvantage of wo-
man as compared with man, we
cannot say-unless it was because
woman had the more concience, and
being the leader Of man, deserved
the severcr punishment.
However this may be, all men
have reason III bewail the loss of
the sweet government Of that beau
tiful and fascinating being, and to
take comfort in the fact that the
day seems Fastening on when she
will resume her proper place upon
the throne. Since the fall her CON
troll Of man has been undetermined,
insidious and strategotic. She has
operated through his fatal weakness,
knowing tull well that the greatest
of men often make themselves the
greatest fools in the presence Of the
charmcr.

From the WITNESS of the 29thl
HORRIBLE THRESHING MACHINE
ACCIDENT.
MAN HAS HIS ARM TORN OUT AT THE
SHOULDER,

On Saturday morning last, John
Mcbride, ir, living near Block
House Branch, some three or four
miles south of this village, met with
the most terrible of any of the nu-
merous accidents resulting from the
careless handling of farming imple-
ments that we have recorded during
the nast few months. He was ems
gageu in working about a Threshing
Machine on the place of William
Stephens, when in some unexplained
manner his left arm was caught in
the tumbling rod, drawn in up to
the shoulder blade and entirely pull
ed from his body. His left ear was
also torn oft, together with large
portion Of the skin and flesh on the
left side OF his face and head. The
right arm was also considerably
bruised, but not seriously injured.
One of the Doctors who attended
the injured man, says the wound
presented a most CHASTITY and sick
ening sight. The arm was torn
completely aud almost smoo THY
from the body, leaving about such
a hole as would be made in q coat
by tearing out the sleeve at the
shoulder A child's head could be
put into it. The viscera Of the chest,
on that side were clearly exposed to
view. One Of the main arteries was
Of course severed, but the exposed
end OF it was bruised together so
that no blood gCshed from it, Had
it not been for this, the man must
have bed to death in q few minutes.
Strange as it may appear though
1T is now, at this writing six days
since the accident occurred, Mr.. Nc
Bride is yet living, with chance Of
recovery. The Dir. said he was
conscious when the wound was dress
ed until chloroform was administered.
lie suffered no great pain at the
time, it being a beneficent provision
OF nature that in such terrible in
jurcs q paralysis of the nerves is
produced which deadens sensation
1t is feared however, that the reac
ton Of inflammation that must sooner
or later ensue will prove fatal. Mr..
Mcbride is a young man about %
years Of age and of stout build and
constitution. And indeed.
il he RECEIVERS from this hurt, we shall
consider him the toughest specimen
OF human nature in existence.
--LATEST. Edwards informs us
that Mr.. Mcbride is still doing we'll,
and the chances for his recovery are
very favorable.

fools. The parenGs toiled and grew
strong, built up their frames Of iron

Democracy and Negro Suffrage.

The wisest men among the Demo
Gratis have long seen that the ulti-
mate adoption of impartial suffrage
was inevitable, and that to resist it
was only to delay it and to prepare
the onfranchised race for its new du-
ties and new rights. This opposition
had been a part Of the Democratic
creed bnt it was an unnatural and
exotic portion, for Democracy is bas-
od on the principle Of universal suf-
frage. In resisting the extension Of
suffrage, the Democratic party has
fallen into minority, and has just
suffered an overwhelming defeat
AS the means of its rescue from con
tinued defeat and final death, it must
apply it's great principle to the living
Issue. and follow wherever it leads.
We believe it to be equally the best
policy and the part Of duty, honesty
and right to accept this problem as it
is offered, on the true Democratic
prlncipIe.-4Nadjson Union. Dem
