WADE AT CHICAGO" Mack teegraphs from
Chicago on the 10th to the Cincinnati Commercial
as follows:
great deal of feeling is excited on the part OF
Wade's friends at the appearance of circular
canvassing Wade's claims. 1t first appeared at
the headquarters Of the Indiana allegation.
While admitting that Wade has many qualities
that entitle him to the consideration of the Re-
publican party, his advanced age is put forward
in this document, as serious objection to his
nomination. " We must elect as vice.president
man fit to be president; one endowed, not only
with mental, but physical Vigor whose shoulders
will be broad and strong enough to bear the bur.

enter the Office ia his sixty-ninth year, and be
seventy three before the completion of his term"

Railroad accidents nowadays are invest
ed with new and horrible interest. In
most of the later disasters a collision, mis-
placed switch or broken rail is attended
with the destruction of the train by fire.
The terrible scene at Angola is still fresh
in our recollection when similar acct
dent, fortunately unattended with loss of
life, is reported from Ohio. The train
struck broken rail, was thrown off an
embankment and set on FIRE by the over.
turned stoves and broken kerosene lamps.
There is not the slightest reason why rail
road companies should subject passen-
gers and their motive property to tire dan
ger of fire. STOVES and kerosene lamps
are entirely unnecessary, for the cars may
be heated by steam or bot air pipes from
the engine, and sufficient supply of can
dies would be better than dangerous fluid
for lighting purposes. These are obvious
risks to travellers and should be removed
If the legislatures of the different States
take the matter in their hands and compel
railroad companies to adopt the necessary
precautions against fire, which assumes
its most frightful aspect in railroad car,
there will be none of the Angola style Of
massacre to chronicle in disasters on rail-
roads. It is bad enough to be smashed
AID ground between cars in collision or
fall from a precipice, without having the
supplementary horsor Of being roasted to
death.

VE9omae,f,xl Freak Of Nature.
DIuNVIOIyj
GEO. FRANCIS TRAIN.

There has been on exhibition in our
borough during the last three days a
most wonderful freak of nature, in the
person Of double headed African girl,
sixteen years of age.
We visited the exhibit IN, expecting to
see one of the humbugs usually seen in
the side show of circus, but were sur
prised to find that the person on exhibit
tion actually had two heads, four Shout
dors, four arms and four legs, all of which
are regular and as fully developed as is
usual on healthy, plump girl of sixteen.
The spinal column runs into one below
the shoulder blades and forms but one
body, making this one of the greatest liv-
ing natural curiosities in the world. Two
intollects, two tastes, and in fact two per-
sons, are represented above the spinal
connection as they talk with different
persons at the same time and on different
subj and eat different kinds of food
Below the connection, the sense of feel
ing is common, as was shown by actual
experiments made by the audience. The
sight is nothing but two pretty cookbook
ing negro girls standing apparently with
their backs together, but such a wonder
full freak of nature may not occur again in
in thousands Of years. Columbia pa

Eh0lsGe Of EOE0l, f2t Glass.

Mr.. Garfield, q glazier Of New York,
has made an interesting sci les Of expert,
ments and observations on the effect of
sunlight Oh glass. This effect is so mark
cd, hat ordinary persons would be aston
ished on being told that all glass changes
color on exposure to the sun; the change
can be seen from day to day by careful
observation. Commonly, the original
pale green color gives place to yellow or
purple; and glass which contains man.
ganese is affected throughout its entire
thickness, so that after polishing off an in
scrlpticn which has been years on the sur
face, it can still be read in the substance
of the glass. Photographers who buy
cheap glass for their sky.Iights are subject
to serious loss by the change of color, for
yellow cuts off large proportion of the
SUMS rays, and thus the effects they desire
to produce are interfered with On this
particular, Mr.. Garfield remarks "The
most pure glnsses of light green or blush
white color are the best for photographers;
and when l say pure glasses, mean those
most free from oxide of iron or mangan
ese, but especially Of the latter, which, I
think, is the cause of nearly all the
changes l have observed" Any one can
easily make experiments for himself by
exposing pieces of glass to sunlight, and
in this way can ascertained which are the
manufacturers who make really pure
glass.

DEATH IN PoMPEII.-Yo u have read,
no doubt, of their discovering, year or
two since, in making an excavation in
PomPeian street, the molds of four human
bodies, three women and a man, who fell
down, blind and writing, in the storm OF
fire eighteen hundred years ago; whose
shape the settling and hardening ashes took;
whose flesh wasted away, aud whose
bones lay there in the hollow of the matrix
till the cunning Of this time found Il EN-,
and, pouring liquid plaster round the skel-
etons, clothed them with human form
again, and drew them forth into the world
once more. There are many things in
Pompeii which bring back the gay life of
the city, but nothing which so wildly re-
ports the terrible manner of her death as
these efligies of the creatures that actually
shared it. The man, in the last struggle,
has thrown himself upon his back, and
taken his doom sturdily-there is calm
in his rigid figure. The women lie upon
their faces, their limbs tossed and distorted,
their drapery tangled and heaped about
them, and in every fibre you see how hard
they died. One presses her face into her
handkerchief to draw one last breath uu-
mixed with scalding steam, another's
arms are wildly thrown abroad to clutch
at help; another's hand is appealingly
raised, and on her slight fingers you see
the silver hoops with which her poor dead
vanity adorned them.
The guide takes you aside from the
street into The house where they H., I'd
a dreadful shadow drops upon your heart
as you enter their presence. Without,
the hell. storm seems 10 fall again, and the
whole sunny plain to be darkened with its
ruin, and the city to send up the tumult
of her despair.

The Kilkenny Cats Explained.

Areview of an entertaining volume, en-
titled " The Book of Cats" gives the fol-
lowing account of the origin of the popu-
lar tradition regarding the Kilkenny cats.
In the time Of VIM. the Third, the Eng
lish soldiers stationed in Kilkenny used
to divert themselves with cat fights. In
the course Of time the idea was evolved of
tying the tails of a couple together, and,
flingiug them over clothes line, leaving
them to fight it out. This diversion gain
ed such popularity that great scarcity of
cats ensued in the town, and measures
were taken to put stop to the slaughter.
So, when information reached headauar.
tiers that two cats were fighting it out on
certain line in an out of the way room
in the barracks, an officer and squad were
sept to arrest the men engaged in witness
ing the diversion. The culprits beard
the tramp on the stairs Of the approaching
party Quick as thought the windows Of
the room were thrown up, and the cats
freed FROM each other by cutting OF their
tolls. These, suspended from the line,
were all that was to be seen by the intru
ders. "Begorra," cried one of them, as
be examined the caudal remnants, chow
the devels must have taught. They've
just aiten each other intirely, and left
naught but their tails behind them"

Workshops In France.

An Enghsh traveller speaks in the
highest terms of the workshops of France.
He says that great deal is done for the
comfort of the working man. The shops
are like palaces. By the kindness Of the
British Commissioner and the permission
of NJ. Froment- Meurice, be was enabled to
visit the latter's establishment, who EN-
ploys about thirty men it is one of the
first houses in Paris. The mandatory is
divided into two distinct sections, the gold
workers in room by themselves, and the
diamond workers in another. These rooms
are fitted up beautifully, and are we'll
ventilated There is most proficient
workman as foreman, on whom all the
responsibility lies of getting up the work
properly. The time of labor is ten hours
clear, commencing at seven in the MORN
ing, and leaving off at six o'clock 10 the
evening. No eating is allowed in the
workshops, which is the only restriction
they are subject to.
On the other hand, however, he states
that the wages in this very difficult depart
ment of work, range only from six to ten
francs-or from about one to two gold
dollars-a day. 1t must be remembers
however, that prices generally are much
lower in France than in the United States
so that dollar there goes probably
about as far as two dollars here.

Found Dead I'M The Street,

The labor is over and done;
The sun has gone down in the west
The birds are asleep every one,
And the world has gone to its rest
Sleepers on beds of down,
Meath cover ofsilk and gold,
Soft as on roses newblown,
Slept the great monarch of old
Sleepers ON mothers breast,
Sleepers happy and warm,
Cosy as birds in their nest,
With never thought of harm
Sleepers in garrets high,
Meath coverlet ragged and old;
And one little sleeper all under the sky,
Out in the night and cold
Alone in the wide, wide world,
Christless, motherless he;
Begging or stealing to live, and whirlet
Like a waif on an angry sea.
The daisy looks up from the grass,
Fresh from the fingers of night,
To welcome the birds as they pass,
And drink in fresh rivers of light.
Sleepers ON mothers breast,
Waken to summer and mirth
But one little sleeper has gone to his
rest,
Never to waken on earth
Dead-found dead in the street,
All forsaken and lorn;
Damp from head to the feet,
With the dews Of the sweet May
morn
Dead-for the want of crust /!
Dead-in the cold night air
Dead-and under the dust,
Without ever word of prayer
In the heart of the wealthiest city
In this most Christian land;
Without ever word of pity,
Or the touch of kindly hand

THE GOLDEN MoTTo.-A good old
man, when be heard of a neighbours mis-
misfortune, would say:
"He fell to-day; I may fall tomorrow.
This is the purely golden motto for every
neighborhood it reaches to the pertec.
ton of Christian charity and manly kind
ness it places US out of the way of
mutual moral dangers it levels US all to
the possibility of immediate wrong; it
gives US all defense in forgiveness and
liability it teaches US all against hasty
judgments, and shows to all that offense
is common inheritance which cannot be
pushed from out our ready reach. "He
fell to-day ; l may fall tomorrow Let
this solemn confession be always echoing
from the voice of conscience; let it be i'm
pressed on the tablets of honor let it be
the first recollection, the constant infu-
ence, the guiding spirit of the day and
prompter of the nightly prayer.
