rFrom the Cairo Democrat


The Mississippi has truthfuly been called
highway of DEATH Every year hecatombs of
human beings are lost on its waters, and the black
and chaTed bodies of luekess travellers find
grave amid its alluvlal deposits Innumerabe ac-
cidents since the first steamboat passed up the
stream have happened. Within the last year
thousands of human being have been hurled into
eternity without moments warning. With the
Sultana alone over fifteen hundred persons
persisted. The lessons of the past seem to have
no effect. The ratio OF accidents seems rather to
increase. The benefcent laws of Congress in
relation to river navigation, we are certain, are
not enforced, and the inspection of machinery and
boilers, and of hulls,- must be either carelessly
made or corruptly evaded We may well ask, can
then nothing be done to secure the traveller The
terrible catastrophe on the lower Mississippi pub
shed IN our last issue, would lead US to think So
We know that accidents will happen, but we EN-
phatcally insist, that nearly all the accidents, on
the Mississippi river, have been of such charae-
ter, that If the proper officials OF the govern
ment and of the boat, had done their
whole duty, they might and would have
been avoided. Criminal negligence is at the bot
tom OF nearly all of these explosions. Anyone
travelling from any point on the river to New Or
leans may well be said to take his life in his hand
just as one that goes into battle or ascends the
| summit Of Mount Blanc. 1t is as dangerous to do
the one as the other-as dangerous to be in the
| gided and gorgeous steamboat saloon, with its
mirrors and sumptuous sofas and chairs Just ovel
u a boiler, though it be covered with magnificent
carpet. as IN tne kuInulL OF palue OF aullu tile
snowy sotudes and bottomless abysses of the
| Alpine. We do not say that the last accident was
the result of negligence, nor do we intend our re
marks for any one line OF steamers. We have ne
cause to think and do not believe, that the mer
at the head OF the different corporations have
disregard for human life. Far be that from us
| There is not one fact that would warrant us tx
make such an assertion; but we do say that somt
Of the officers of river boats being in constal
danger, learn to laugh at and disregard that dan
ger and that thus the wholesale murders happen
regardless Of their oaths and their duty, make bu

will be made in all such cases, and the guilt fXe

Judge Underwood, Of the U. S, District Court
in the Virginia Circuit, has manifestly taken JET
fries for his model, and is impatient to immortaze
himself by re-enacting on the soil Of the Old Do
minion the crueltes and butcheries of the Bloody
Assizes Jetfres, however, was lawyer and a
man of intellect. Judge Underwood is neither.
His recent charge to the grand Jury at Norfolk
was a harangue, the ike Of which has never been
heard in any court of justice, we verify believe,
since the darkest days of oppression of which
there is record in English history. The general
temper of it may be inferred from the following
extract
Your duties under these circumstances are
both difficult and dangerous, for you are called
upon to oppose the worst passions of very des-
perate men, who will make vigorous efforts to
verify their often repeated predictions, that free
dom would bring ruin and determination upon the
colored people; and it is possible that some of
you may meet with violence for a faithful dis.
charge of your duties, as one of the last grand
jury has already done. But better a thousand
times better, to fall by the hand Of the assassin,
as Lincoln and Dixon have fallen, or die under the
mockery of pretended forms of law, as our
Savior did, in the cause of freedom aud humanity
than to shrink like towards from our public trusts
in order to drag out few more years Of ignobe
life, filling unhonored graves

The preacher Of abolitionism left, but returned

Honolulu letter from Mark Twain.
Every section of our western hemisphere

here, and naturally infused into the vocabulary
of the place Your fayorite California SMILES

And etiquette varies according to ones sur
roundings. In the mining camps Of California,
when friend tenders you a ''smile," or invites
you to take s'blister' it is etiquette to say,
=" Here's hoping your drill pan out gay" In
Washoe, when you requested to put in a
blast" or invited to take "your regular pson,"
etiquette admonishes you to touch glasses and
say, 4" Here's hoping You'll strike it rich in the
