The COurt Of Gearre II.

The Court of George II. lies open in
a full flood of light. Not only do every
body's letters cuntribute towards its
illumination, but the curious Memoirs
OF Lord Hervey, unique in history,
present it before us with remorseless
and impartial distinctness To say that
we know it as if we had lived in IT,, il
little. We know it infinitely better.
We know what everybody said when
the royal doors were closed, and Min
lister or Bishop discussed the most i'm.
pOrtant of national affairs with King
or Queen. Had We but been about
court at the moment, the extent OF our
observations could have not gone fur
ther than to remark how Sir Robert
looked when he left the royal presence,
or il Bishop Hoadley was cheerful af-
ter his audience. And it is not pleas
ant spectacle. The age was not one in
which man believed in man, nor in wo-
man either, for that matter. II wits
were not sharper, the tongue at least
was less under restraint. And moral
ity, as We understand it nowadays,
does not seem to have had any exist
enee. Most people behaved badly at
all times; but, at least, the grace OF
concealment, Of decent hypocrisy, OF
outward decorum, is general in the
world. There was no concealment in
those days. The ruling classes lived
coarsely, spoke coarsely, sinued coarse
", without any Illusion on the subject.
The innocent and virtuous were little
less indecent than the gross and wick
ed. Good wives and even spotIess
maidens, discussed without pretense of
shame or attempt at secrecy, the nasty
adventures going on around them
The age was depraved, but it was more
than depraved-it was openly unclean.
And yet many notable figures circulate
in this gossipping and unsavory crowd.
The wickedness and unsavoriness have
been largely discussed aud set forth to
the fullest vantage; yet there are high.
er matters to discuss, into which it is
possible to enter without falling alb
solutely into the mire. 1t is hideous
to hear the old King talking of his ia
vorite TO his wife's unoffended ears;
but the story Of their life together-oi
her rule, Of her wisdom, her extraor
binary stoicism and patience, her good
sense and Infinite ableness-is Q
very curious, almost unique, and often
most touching tale. -BlGckpood.

PROM ihs Cincinnati Commercial, March le.l
The mighty breath from the lungs OF
the storm king that passed over us at
an'early hour OF yesterday morning,
seems to have had more strength west
of us than in any other direction. So
far as we have heard from, it blew it's
strongest blast, from north to south,
in the vicinity OF Iawtenceburg. In
diana.
Theexpress train Of the Indianapo-
lis and Cincinnati railroad, due here at
$50 a. m. yesterday morning, had the
most startling experience Of the power
Of the storm. 1t was approaching the
city at the usual rate, when, at the
Cleves bridge over the Whitewater, it
was suddenly brought to a stop. As it
was about to enter the bridge, and Just
as the engine had reached it, the wind
grappled with the train, and, clutching
the passenger cars, lifted them off their
trucks, asthough. they were pastehoard
affairs, and hurled them down the em
bankment, turning them completely
over, and right side up again, with
their freight of men, women and chill
dren. .gali ftg t1i lia
One of the cars was completely
wrecked by the fall. OF course the
most terrible alarm was felt by oil the
passengers until they recovered from
the confusion of the shock and knew
that the worst had come. They knew
nothing, expected nothing, until they
felt themselves lifted and thrown in the
wrong direction, turned heels over
head, jammed, pounded and haramer-
ed, and then quiet, in all kinds Of I'M
comfortable positions. When they
commenced to extricate themselves,
many of them we're found to be bleed
ing profusely, and as they emerged in
to the darkness and rain, from the
slight shelter of the wreck, it was
feared that many were terribly injured
and some, perhaps, killed. Very for
tunately, however, this was not the re-
suit. Many were badly bruised, sever.
al severely cut about the head and
face, but none were dangerously in-
jured.
The shock they experienced must
have been very severe indeed, for many
of them we're jerked about from floor
to roof, and from seat to seat One
man, Mr.. 4. Lusbben, of Milwaukee,
who was badly cut about the head,
states that when he came too, he was
in seat far away from where he was
when the accident occurred. Mr.. Jas.
NJ. Hnbbs, of New York, was quite
badly cut about the head, as was also
Capt. George Clark of this city. Mr..
John Eagau, the conductor, suffered
in the same way, only more severe
ly. Nevertheless. he persisted in work
ing in the. rain to extricate the pas
sengers, and assist the people of Eliza
bethtown and Valley junction, who
kindly took care of them until they
were brought up to this city yesterday
forenoon Mr.. Asa Gore, baggage
master. shared Mr.. Eagan's bad luck
but, like him, continued to do his
work. Mr.. j. O. Aldridge had his
wrist dislocated. He was thrown
distance of twenty feet or more. One
of the ladies, Mrs. Murray, of Indian
apolis, was somewhat injured internal
ly, but to what extent is not yet known.
Several Others were slightly injured,
but no bones we're broken. The COM
pany did everything possible to make
the passengers comfortable. ...t.
