A NEeRos EXPERIENoE WITH A GUN
He GETS HIS HAND Blows OEF.-Last
night, about half past nine o'clock, ne
gro who lives on Front street opposite the
gas works, attempted to clean out a gun
which had become foul. There were two
loads in the harrsl--a small single fowling-
piece-and, failing to discharge the con-
tents in the proper way, he thrust red not
ramrod down the barrel rs last resort to
get rid Of the two extra charges. The hot
iron ignited the powder in both loads with
such force as to shatter the barrel of the
piece, scattering the fragments about the
room in great profusion. The right hand
Of the negro was torn into fragments, leav-
ing nothing but bloody stump.

VIII carry with it the best wishes of the
entire country, especially those of our
lflenos on the Pacific slope. Heretofore
the California overland mail has bean
transmitted via st. Louis and the Hanni-
bal and st. Joseph Railroad, thence wcst-
erly across the Plains, at an annual COST
OF many thousands of dollars. Arrange
ments have been perfected whereby The
California mails from the Eastern and
Northern States are to be conveyed via
chicago, and thence west by the Chicago
and Northwestern Railway to Boonsboro
Iowa, thence via the Western Stage Com
pany to Omaha, and thence by Ben. HALL
days Overland Line, via Fort Kearney. to
Salt Lake, Idaho, and San Francisco.
This route offers saving of forty-eight
hours in time over the st. Louis route,
ana what is quite as important, the mails

government. This has been BROUGHT
about by Chicago capitalists, an enter
prise which the Chicago and Northwest

Incidents and Accidents.

A terrible scene was witness ed in Ann
St., New York on last Tuesday morning, as
man all on fire and frantic from pain was
seen rushing into the street. 1t appears
that Mr.. r. Crawford, who was employed in
the oil and paint store Of Messrs. G. and s..
Crawford, AZ, Ann street, went into the
vault under the store to get small quanti-
ty of benzine, when the fluid took fire from
lighted lamp which he carried in his hand
and exploded. The burning benzine was
scattered upon his face and clothing, and
the flames soon covered nearly his entire
body. Crawford losing his self-possession,
rushed into the street, was soon followed by
q crowd, and had to be knocked down, so
as to cover him and subdue the flames. He
was rolled into the gutter, and the flames
were extinguished. The poor fellow was
taken TO the store, where his body was found
to be terribly burned Medical assistance
was procured, and hopes of his recovery
are entertained by his friends.

LOCOMOTIVE RUNAWAY. Monday
evening there occurred in this city a run
away of somewhat novel and unusual
notwithstanding less than that of q
locomotive. The engineer had gone to
his supper, and the fireman attempted to
play the part of both switchman and en-
gineer, in taking the engine to the tank
for water, but unluckily made signal
failure. He reversed his engine and
jumped off to place the switch, when the
Locomotive started off on its own accord,
ana went tearing down the track at a
fearful rate, until it ran off the track at
an open switch about quarter of mile
from the place where it started, running
about 100 feet on the ground after it left
the track, tearing out the forward trucks,
and damaging the machine considerably,
though not SO much as it would be sup
posed, under the circumstances. Had the
switch been closed and the engine kept
the main track, there must have been q
general demolition, for the destruction Of
cars standing thereon would have been
inevitable. Clinton Herald

DR.. Johnson in his work on the economy
Of health, says that marriage should not be
contracted before the first year Of the fourth
septennial on the part of the lady,
nor before the last year Of the same
ON the part Of the gentleman; in other
words, the female should be at least twenty
one years Of age, and the male twenty ght
years. The doctor says there should be q
difference Of several years between the sex
es, at whatever period Of life the connection
if formed There is difference of seven
years, not in the actual duration Of life be-
tween the two sexes, but in the stamina Of
the constitution, and in the symmetry of tha
form and lineaments Of the face. In re-
spect to early marriages, 80 far as concerns
the softer sex, for every year that marriage
is entered upon before the age of twenty
one, there will be on an average, three
years Of premature decay, more or less APP

will not amount to less than million dollars
per month. Every effort to put its equip
ment on par with the best eastern lines
is now being made, and no line of its
length east or west has more brilliant
future before it, Really, though not nomi-

charges that about a year ago, she arrived
in this city via the Michigan Central Rail-

herself and baggage from that depot to
the Rock Island depot. Her baggage was
lost, and she now sues for the value, which
she places at 81 800. te4-fa

MAIL SERVICE IN WINTER.-Po stmaster
General Denison has addressed q circular
to railroad managers, mentioning the fact
that service on the railroads generally
during last winter, was so irregularly per-
formed as seriously to delay the transmits
sion OF mails. "The remedy" he says,
els with the companies. Lessen the
number of cars on the mail trains, espe-
cially on those carrying through mails, to
the maximum that will not necessarily
prevent their schedule time being regu-
larly made, and the difficulty will be
removed. The request for you to do so
is in no sense unreasonable, but demanded
alike for the interest of the government
and the public, while your faithful COM
pliance will only be the proper observance
of your contract with the department"

CHECK ON CoNDUcToRs-Th Presi-
dent OF one of the st. Louis horse rail
roads proposes to introduce upon bis line
the Prussla9asgift system; each paasen-
ger who ridesov the road is to secure a
numbered check ticket for each trip made
which, if preserved until the end of the
year, will entitle the holder to chance in
distribution of $1,000 or So, 600 in gifts
to the passengers. Each day quantity
OF these numbered checks are given to
the conductors, who at night will be re-
CURED to either return the checks or their
equivalent in tickets or money; and as
each passenger viii be interested in secur-
ing his share Of the distribution at the
end of the year, and will therefore demand
his check when he pays his fare, the
company will have a check upon any dis
honesty upon the part of the conductors.
