SHOCKING ACCIDENT.-The Provi-
dence Bulletin says that yesterday
morning, at the Rumford Chemical
works in that city, Helen J. Bowen,
a girl of sixteen years of age, while
warming her feet at the steam pipes,
had her dress caught around revolv-
ing upright shaft that was making
about eighty turns a minute, within
about TWO feet of brick wall. The
poor girl seems to have grasped the
shaft and held on until her leg was
broken, when she tainted. and then
her head was dashed against the solid
wall in the most shocking manner, ,her
skull and brains flying about the room
and bespattering the wall. The ma
chinery was stopped as soon as pos
sible, but of course the sad work wa;
done.

Gov. BROwNLOw ON Suffrage
In a late message to the Tennessee
Legislature Governor Brownlow re-
marks:
Il must be permitted to express
the hope that this General Assembly
will not close its present session with
out the passage of a bill granting suf-
frage to all loyal males properly quail
lied by age and citizenship. Onward
is the watchward which thrills and in
spires two continents! And now is
the time for Tennessee to show to
the world that she belongs to the ad-
vance guard Of the great question OF
equal suffrage. With the loyal men
Of the State allowed to vote, the gov.
ernment thereof will remain in the
loyal hands; without their votes the
State will pass into disloyal hands
and a reign of terror not so easily
described as realized will be the re.
suit.

back with me to the city, and sht
grieved for father till the day she
died, and | had her laid beside him.
And | lived on alone in my beauti
full home, for Robert had left me that
and wealth enough to live on in com.
fort, and | saw little of the gay world
around me. Sometimes [ passed
Gilbert Willard, an old man with iron
gray hair, and but little left of the
Gilbert of old.
People said his wite's life was
scarcely worth the having, for at times
she lost her reason, and would make
the house ring with her wild laughter
and cries for her little Alice who died
In her arms. But for that she was
harmless as a child.
One day the hearse went by, and [
saw Gilbert's white face in the mourn
ing carriage, and then | knew Mary
had found her little Alice again. A
long train of carriages followed
t!ose who knew and loved her in her
girlhood, before the great trouble
came upon her soul. | had long for
given her the wrong she did me. One
day when the moss had crept ten
years above Roberts grave, and the
grass grown three years above Mary,
Gilbert came back to his lonely home
and opened the windows and let in
the sunshine again, and filled the
house with signs of life. Then he
came to me and said, "Matty our lives
have all gone wrong; is it too late to
right them?"
Then old as | was my heart sprang
into new life, and for moment was
back in my youth, and then [ put it
down and said |: Colbert, when
Robert died, he said God would light
up the world and he has done it,
"But, Matty, can't you light it up
for me? 1t has all gone wrong"
God can right it better than L
We are too late"
"Then we will keep their memories
sacred, and leave it for the other life
to finish"
So am waiting the end of my
days, aud Gilbert has found the ''peace
which passeth all understanding" and
we wait for time when there is neither
marrying nor giving in marriage" yet
| shall be Gilbert's and he will be
mine.

dreamed then are almost forgotten +;
yet can tell you how it came about.

Gilbert and | when he asked me to
go.
"Mattie," said he, Squire Haines'
new barn is finished, and tomorrow
night he will give us a dance in it, and
the city people are coming to it, and
if You will go / will come for you at

"And," said |, Il will be ready and

tell mother, | was only country girl,
and | was proud Of Gilbert, he was
in advance Of our country beaux, and
handsomer than any Of them.
"Mother," said |, "there is to be a
great dance in Squire Haines' barn
tomorrow night, and Gilbert has ask
ed me to 60"
Mother looked up, pleased, from
her ironing, and said: "Mattie, you
and Gilbert have kept company some
time now; may be you will be mistress
at the stone house yet"
My face didn't keep an even color
when she looked at me, for | haC
thought the same thing myself, but
answered:
Mother, you arc always guessing
so far ahead! Can't we think "
something new for me to wear? | an
so tired of the everlasting pink rib
bons."
"Why Matte, you thought it fit fo

me and called out
"Mat, I'll bring you back a beauty

saw several women baptized by i'm

No., a hole being cut in the ice for
that purpose, imagined that the cere-

VIZ understand from Mr.. Strong, who has
just returned from the Supreme Court, at
Washington, that the Mandamus cases we're
not tried. So much of the time Of the Court,
during the latter part Of the term, has been
occupied in political and other original
causes, which have precedence, that the Man
damus cases could not be reached, il a. all,
before TO- day Tuesday, and the Court made
m order that they would hear no more argu-
meats AFTER tomorrow, the 18th, and would
adjourn on the Goth. In addition to this Sec
Rotary Browning, who is associated with Mr..
Strong in the argument of the cases, was sick.
In consideration Of these facts, and the i'm

DER that they b continued till December.

the new burglar proof vault door at the State

Mr.. Arthur Bridgmsn, and, although be ex-
planned its workings to us, we don't believe
we could open it in time for banking hours.
The door was manufactured in Bostoa, and
is the most complete thing Of the kind we
ever saw. 1t is about three inches in thick>
ness, and is composed Of three layers of
metal, the two outside plates being of iron,
the inner of hardened steel The lock is a
combination one, and is susceptible Of over
a million changes, and alone cost over two

and tina, very large proportion of our read

add or 10 volumes of new books per month,

would state for the information Of our mem
bers, Il at the books most popular and gene

which accounts for their being so often out or
