Lord Eldon.

The chancellor was sitting in his stady
over table Of papers, when young and
lovely girl-slightly rustic in her attire,
slightly embarrassed by the novelty Of
her position, thoroughly in command Of
her wits-entered the room and walked
up to the lawyers chair.
"My dear, " said the, chancellor, rising
and bowing with old world courtesy, "who
are you?" s.
"Lord Eldon," answered the blushiug
maiden, 81 am Bessie Bridge, of Weo
bly,, the daughter of the Vicar Of Weo-
bly,, and papa has sent me to remind you
of a promise which you made him when
I was little baby, and you were guest
in his house on the occasion of your first
election as member of Parliament for
Weobly."
"A promise my dear young lady?' in
terposed the chancellor, trying to recall
how he had pledged himself.
eyes, Lord Eldon, promise. You
we're standing over my cradle when papa
said to you: Mr.. Scott. promise me that,
if ever you are lord chancellor, when m :
little girl is poor clergyman's wife, you
will give her husband a living;' and you
answered; "Mr.ss Bridge, my promise is
not worth half crown, but / give it to
you, wishing it were worth more"
Enthusiastically the chancellor ex-
claimed:
"You are quite right, I admit the OBJ
legation. I remember all about it, and
then after, a pause, archly surveying the
damsel, whose graces werethe reverse Of
matronly, he added: "But surely the time
for keeping my promise has not yet ar
rived? You cannot be anybody s wife at
present.
For few seconds Bessie hesitated for
an answer, and then, with a blush and
ripple of silver laughter, she replied:
"No; but wish to be Somebody wife.
| am engaged to young clergyman; and
there's living in Herefordshire, near my
old home, that, has recently fallen va
cant, and if you'll give it to Alfred, why
then, Lord Eldon, we shall marry before
the end Of the year."
Is there need to say that the chancellor
forthwith summoned his secretary, and
the secretary forthwith made out the pre-
sentation to Bessie lover, and that hav-
ing given the chancellor kiss of graf.
itude, Bessie made good speed back TO
Herefordshire, hugging the precious doe
ument the whole way homel

Horrible Railroad Accident.

MONTPELIER, December 11.--One of
the most fearful accidents known in. the
annals of Vermont transpired to day, at
Harlow Bridge, near Nofthfeid, on the
Vermont Central Railroad. The. bridge
was burned on Sunday morning, and du-
ring the week about one hundred men
were engaged in rearing trestle-work for
temporary use.
Most of the employers having dined
to-day at North6eld were returning to
work, about one and half miles from
that town, in passenger car, which was
being backed up to the works, when, by
some inconceivable forgetfulness, the en-
gineer proceeded with them at a rapid
rate, and Gid not check speed until too
late, and the whole car, with its freight
of seventy to one hundred men, was
backed off the abutment into The river
below, a distance of sixty feet, ,ihe tender
to the engine following. Fifteen men
were killed instantly. Three or four
have. since died, MoreS than as many
Others were injured, many seriously, and
some,it is feared. fatallg.
Another account says the center car
struck the brink of the precipice, broke
into three pieces, the roof sliding forward
and hall Of the body falling seventy feet
to the river below. "a
About twenty five men were spilled
out in pile on shelving rock twenty
FIVE feet below the track-the rear half
of the car falling upon them, and the
tenderupon top of that. 1t was there
that most of the fatalities occurred.
The tender remained on the shelf
About ten persons saved themselves by
jumping from the car before reaehing
the brink. Fifteen persons were instant
ly killed and four more died soon after,
and there are others that can not survive.

SIR: I see. that you have put my name
at the head of your paper as ! candidate
for the Office Of President Of the United
Estates. Other journals in this, as well as
| in the Eastern and Western States, have
also thus expressed their wishes for my
nomination by the National Democratic
Convention. These marks of good will
and confidence give me great pleasure, but
/ am compelled sa say that | am not and
cannot be candidate for the Presidency.
As my reasons for saying this are per-
Isonal, it is not necessary to state them
They in no degree grow out Of waning
interest in the great and serious ques-
tions which divide parties in this country.
On the other hand, / feel that we are
about to enter upon an earnest and
thoughtful discussion Of the condition of
public affairs. The passions and preju-
dices excited by civil war are dying out.
All new see that the questions of finance,
tariff, the rights of States, and the pow.
ers Of Government, cannot be settled by
clamors and calumnies. Both parties
feel that the grave problems growing out
of the disordered state of the country
must be confronted, and that due respect
for their organization demands an earnest
and thoughtful inquiry as to the best
modes of Tightening the load of debt and
taxation which hinders the business of
our land and weighs down with heavy
shackles the arms Of labor. In trying
in the future, as l have in the past, to
uphold principles which / deem to be
right, can do battle with more yigor
when ! am not candidate for official
position. Very truly yours, &c.
