Rev. Irwin House, of this city, was standing
on the platform of the rear car just before the
accident occurred. AS the accommodation train
came dashing along, 10 became evident TO him
that collision was inevitable, and he quickly
sprang down the embankment. He had scarce
ly touched the ground when the platform upon
which he had been standing was broken to
splinters.
THE REMAINS OF THE KILLED BY THE RAIL
ROAD ACCIDENT.
From The Gazette Of SATURDAY.
In our issue of yesterday we published the full
and reliable particulars of the terrible accident
which occurred on the Cincinnati, Hamilton &
Dayton Railroad, and stated that dispatch had
been sent to Gen. Il. Il. Beauregard, n friend of
the Misses Morgan, who suffered such u terrible
death.
The dispatch, 1t seems, reached New Orleans
on Thursday evening, and was Immediately an
swered by Gen. Beauregard. In his dispatch he
bodies placed in "a vault here to await the order
of friends.
When Gen. Beauregartl's telegram reached
here the bodies of the Misses Morgan and Mr.
Jackson had been placed in collins, metallic
cases, beautifully mounted, and We're in care of
Nr. j. p. Epply, at his establishment, corner of
Ninth and Plum streets.
The dispatch, as soon as received by Mr.. L.
Hommedieu, was shown to Mr.. Epply, and at
o'clock yesterday afternoon five hearses con-
Grove, our beautiful city of the dead. The re-
mains were all placed in the vault awaiting or
ders from friends. 1t is probable that either Mr..
Harrod, the brother-in-law of the deceased la
dies, or Gen. Beauregard will be here in the
course of a day or two, and the friends or rela-
tives of Mr.. Jackson are also expected.
Since the above was put in type we have learn.
ed that Mr.. Jackson had for some time past lived
in Canada, but had come out West to seek EN-
ployment. His parents reside in Boston.

WAS there ever before such an impu-
dent pretense as that of the Southerners
to the sole inheritance in these degener-
ate days of the oldtimes chivalry and
knighthood? How ludicrous is the con-
trast between these two passages: the
first from any newspaper ofthe last week;
the last, from the old ballad of "Robin
Hoods Death:n .H. ...
SOUTHERN CHIVALRY, XIXTH CENTURY.
"As T.. A. Pollard was passing the Maltby
House he was approached by the and
nephew of II. a. Wise, each of whom fired n
shot at Pollard, one of the shots passing through
his right arm, he having his utNe on his left arm
al The Time.
ENGLISH CHlvALRY, XIIITH CENTURY.
Robin Hood has been bled to death by
the Prioress of Kirkley Abbey, and Lit
tie John wants
.. - to burn fair Kirkley Hall
And all their nunnery."
"Now nay, now nay" quoth Robin Hood,
THAT boon I'll not grant thee;
never hurt woman in all my life,
| Nor man, IN tcOBdns company"

THE editor of the Gazette, in his last
issue declines to discuss the question
growing out of our controversy about the
right of suffrage in Ohio. He very clear
ly admits, however, that the Coiistitu-
ton and laws of Ohio, as defined and ex-
planned. by the Supreme Court of the
State, now allow all men nearer white
than black to vote, but he declares that
the Supreme Court must not be allowed
to construe the Constitution any longer,
and that the Copperhead Legislature
Just elected will pass law of construc-
ton that no judge in Ohio dare tamper
with.
Hadn't your Legislature better pass q
law DISTINGUISHING all men who fought
against the rebellion 1t seems to us
that law of that kind would aid you
more than a law such as you propose to
have passed. The Constitution and the
decisions of the Supreme Court are TO be
nullfied by an Act of the Legislature
This is the "higher law" of the wise
lawyers and statesmen of the Copper
head Democracy. ..,.'

An Are of Miracles.

This is an age Of mracles-of miracles OF
= certain kind. Il as well an age Of hum
bugs, and the miracles and humbugs get mixed.
In the last number of the Paris Times We find
! the following anecdotes recorded or miraculous
cures performed which the editor informs US
ARE extracted from the pages Of the Weekly
Register, Catholic organ. We publish the
report from the Times just as We find it:
| The Register gives an interesting account OF
III. Dupont, Of Tours. who in his bachelor
days was IN diable d'homn1e, but whose mar
ried life edited all Touraine. Having in the
course Of years been bereayed of his wife and
only daughter, NJ. Dupont has since devoted
himself entirely to prayer and good works,
and his reward here on this earth has been
| that the oil of lamp which he burns under a
picture OF our Saviour in his bedroom, has
been endowed with curative powers to which
all known diseases succumb- instanta-
neonsly, others after while, but all surely.
The Register records the following A young
peasant girl, afflicted with large and painful
goitre, conceived the unselfsl idea that if she
could get rid Of it. the miracle might possibly
convert to Catholicism certain stifnecked
Protestants OF her village. She applied to
ii. Dupont, was cured in an instant, and as
she hoped no less than seven Protestants be-
came Catholics Oh the spot. The Due de Ia
Rochefoucault was lying i'll and delirious the
faculty had given him over; n. Dupont and
his oil were caHed in, and bis grace at once
recovered his health and his reason This
miracle, the Register assures US, has been at
tested By the Emperor and Empress of the
French, and COCO other people. A lady who
had beer bedridden and a cripple for fourteen
years was carried into NJ. Dupont's house,
prayed over and Amounted. In this case the
cure was rather slow, for the lady could not
manage 10 walk more than three miles the
next day, but in very short time she became
as strong and active on her legs as she had
ever been in her life. In gratitude to NJ. Du
pont this lady brought him her maidservant,
suffering from a large and deep cancer. Al
slight application of the oil and short prayer
radically extirpated the cancer, and the girls
flesh was restored to its original healthy con-
dilion. The Archbishop of Tours is behaving
in rather an unsatisfactory manner towards |
NJ. Dupont and his oil. All he can be induced
to say is that the gift of healing may have
been vouchsafed to chat excellent man. This
is of course very irritating to the believers of
he neighbolhood, who more than insnuate
hat the Archbishop is in league with the
medical profession Of thc city.

ARISTOTLE AND SoLoMoN-Solomon SAYS
There is nothing new under the sun - and
I may illustrate this By showing that, as PROB
ably Paley borrowed much from the Ethics
OF Aristotle, SO Aristotle himself borrowed
from other sources. A Jew. who kept ba-
zaar, came one day to my rooms to exhibit a
bill of his goods. He saw volume Of Arts
totje lying upon the table-took it up. and
read it with great tlueDcy. 90 was intended, -
said he, &c for rabbi, and these natterswere
once very familiar to me-" docs it not, :"
he continued, sometimes strike you that YOU
have read much Of this in another place ?"
YES" replied sometimes think that
there are parts Of The Bible very like what I
occasionally meet with in this book lex
actly so, . said he : land no wonder! When
Alexander visited Jerusalem, it is not proba-
bic that he would forget his tutors request 10
send him the learned works of the nations he
conquered. We may, therefore, readily sup
pose that Aristotle was not ignorant Of the
writings of Solomon and there are obvious
reasons why he should not acknowledge the
sources whence he derived whatever he might
choose to borrow from our sacred books" I
have frequently since thought Of the Jews re-
mark, and it seems very possible that he was
not far wrong. Church and State Gazette.

A MONSTER BR1D0E-The "wdest bridge
in the world" says the London Times-tha
which spans the Thames from Batteries tc
Pmlico-was opened on the Goth ut., foI
traic. According to the plans of Sir Charles
Fox, the new structure has four river spans of
IFS feet. The river openings are segmental
in shape, and the ribs of wrought iron have a
rise of II feet. The three piers in the river
have each a: the level Of sp'nsing Of ribs a
thickness of i2J feet and the two abutments
are 20 feet thick each at that level, 50 that the
total length Of the bridge is about 4l0 yards.
The width Of the bridge At the rails level is
ITO feet, wide enough for eight lines Of rails,
and this width is carried BY seven main ribs
to each span. The abutments have been car
ried down to depth of over Is feet below
low water mark with the brickwork in &C.
ment, and the excavations for the abutments.
owing 10 the width of the bridge and form of
ribs, had to be 1875 feet long and 43 feet wide
The piers are supported by brickworb. in cyl
inders, the latter four in number, being sunk
to depth of IS feet below high water mark.
Each is 81 feet in diameter and made of cas-;
iron in lengths Of feet each length composed
Of eight segmcnts. The length Of each pier at
the level of the cylinders is 100 feet The
weigh Of iron in superstructure and cylinders,
etc, is estimated at about 9 900 tons 100, 900
cubic feet of stone has been used l6, 900 Gu
bic feet of brickwork, and about 800, 600 Gu
bic feet Of timber. Each of the cylinders has
been weighed with load of 1000 tons to test
the foundations, and low water mark cast
iron girders are fixed between thera and the
ex sting gird,r. The new bridge is about o5
