We advise the DR.. not to allow it
to lay around loose if he values its

him down and perhaps worry his poor

of their fallen chief and the "lOst

Really gold has not been the standard
of value in the past few years. There
was time when gold was almost as
three to one, but real estate was In
huenced very lightly by that extra
ordinary state of things, and If specie
payment was resumed tomorrow, the
variation in the price of real estate
would hardly be noticed. Nearly al
that is said on that subject by alar
mists is moonshine - takers really
know nothing about it or else talking
for effect. Will not congress provide
the necessary means and set an early
day for resumption to begin?

DISTRESSING ACCIDENT.-We learn from the
Rutland Herald that as MyrOn E. Marshall. wife
and only child, were crossing the track of the
Rutland railroad near North Clarendon, last
Monday afternoon, their sleigh was struck by
the engine of the freight train, and Mrs Mar
shall and the child was instantly killed, and Mr..
Marshall probably MORALLY injured. The whole
train ran over the unfortunate lady badly mang-
ling her limbs. and laying bare her skull. The
child's head was broken in on the hack side, and
both feet were run over Mr. Marshall was
thrown into the air, whence he fell some sixty
feet distant upon the depot, his head striking
obiquely upon board, which broke and LET
him TO the ground. At last accounts he was
alive, but would probably die from concussion OF
the brain. Mr.. and Mrs. Marshall we're about
| 80 years of age, and the child 10 He was
| chair manufacturer, and they were among the
most respected citizens of North Clarendon.
| The train was going at only its usual speed
anG the bell was rung and the whistle sounded
| but deep cut at that point prevented sight Of
either the train or the team, and rendered sound
deceptive. And yet there was a fauIt somewh ere
either Mr.. Marshall was very careless, or the
train was running too fast-probably both. We
know several just such dangerous ponts in Yer
mont. and have heard of more than one narrow
escape. 1twould be hardship on the roads t.
require by law that all trains should come to
full stop at such points, and it would be hard t
require the towns to change the location of thei
| highways; but it would not be very hard fo
travellers who know the location. TO stop the
teams and wait for the passage of a train which
they hear at a distance. This sad case should b,
a lesson. The lesson will not restore the dead
but 1t may preserve the living.

words about the relations between

way of showing the unftness of the

dition. The rich were striving to be
richer and the poor were struggling
to initiate the rich, and in this strug

thing of the character Of the people
of other countries, and he firmly sta

morality in American society to-day
than in any other civilized society OF

a Ku-KIux Visitation on Big
Creek.
A Card from the Negroes.

About ten days ago q party of men
numbering twelve or fifteen, disguised
and masked, visited the place of Mr.. J
c. Byron, neal the plantation Of
Chamberlain Jones, Esq, near Roaring
Falls on Big creek, went to the houses o.
the negroes and dlsarmed them. The
negroes were not threatened or injured In
the slightest, and after giving them some
good advice, the Ku-Klux departed.
Radical sources have tried to convert
the affair into q "gross outrage on col
ored citiZsns,n and we have been az
some pains to find out the truth of the
affair. The following card, written by
by OF the negroes and signed by him
sad three others, attested to by thru e
well-knOwn citizens Of Dig Creek, ex-
plains the truth in regard to the visit
We, the undersigned. hereby certify
that the so-called Ku-Klux Khan have
been to our houses, and have taken our
guns and pistols from US but did not
hurt us or our persons, and 30 far as they
did not hurt us, we are satisfied they will
let us alone hereafter. AS to us knowing

Junk Houses-1he Rag business

Up to within q few months ago the
waste rags and paper thrown into oui
streets, were earted off with other trash,
and put TO no use. Suddenly, however,
some utilitsrian put it into the head. OF
a few darkies that refuse might be mad
use of, and soon numbers of them werE
seen with their "hOoks and bags, CAD
dering rags" Now there are nc les
than sixteen depois and places in the
city where rags and paper of all sorts are
received and sold. For cotton rags 3
cents per pound are paid for mixed cot
ton and linen, q eents-snd for liner
&c. Wooden rags only command l cent.
Old paper, If 1t il white, printed OF
blank commands Ii cents per pound
other sorts l to Z cents per pound. l
is estimated that there are three hundred
and fifty persons of all ages and sexes
engaged in the trade. Most of the rags
and papers are ssnt to Cincinnati, hut
they are also sent to the Chickss2bOgue
paper mills, near Mobile; the Augusta
mills (Ga.) and to Louisville. One OF
two OF the depOts are solely for the re-
ception Of rags and paper, but most OF
them are "junk shOps,n or in other
words, fence houses" or, to speak still
palmer, houses for the reception Of ali
sorts Of plurdsT from a pound OF
rags to a diamond ring. Nothing comes
smiss 10 some of these dealers
from q stove to a pocket handkerchief
with forty holes in it 0 is a question
over asked as to where the goods CONS
from. They may be stolen, bought,
found, borrowed or what not, the junk
mar asks no questions, but puts them In
his scale, weighs them and pays for
them. The Consequence is that such
places are the haunIs of thieves and the
repositories OF nihe-tenths Of the stolen
property of the city. They are the hrsl
places that a detective goes to when he
has q piece OF stolen property to hunt
for, and In the absence Of my uncle "
with the three balls, the fOrlorn hope OF
the fast youth with q watch or pin
to shove up the spout, for the widow to
" soak" her wedding ring, the broken
Iowa gentleman to bring his trinkets,
and, in fact the place to get a guild pro
quo at two per cent. per diem. They are
; nuisance in any community, ana yet
no community is free from them they
IRE an evil, and yeta avenue OF trade -
consequently a benefit. In fact they are
! Iroblem,-a nut for the domestic econ
to crack, and to him we leave the
OBJ. They are certainly q fixed fact in
,ur community, and must be ~legislstsd
or accordingly.

that l am right.

Burial of Major Earney--A
Precious Lot.

The remains Of Msj. Harvey, brought
to this city as related in the APPEAL
yesterday morning, were Inferred yes
terday afternoon in + mwoOd Cemetery.
A large crowd folio Eed them TO their
final resgi0g place, and many . refugee
sWOre over his cold AID insnimate corpse
a long and deep hatred and revenge to
and upon bis murdeTers.
We are informed that when the mill
tia Jaw first went into operation and Crit
tenden county was among those put IN
der martial law, two companies of mill
tia were raised ana cficered by three or
four c-arpet-baggers from Connecticut,
who hsd settled there during the war.
These "sWeet scented" individuals be-
lieving In m-iscegenatiGn thoroughly,
took unto themselves wives from the sons
OF Ham, and settled there, each with a
couple or so Of dusky aspasiss as help
mates, from whom they have raised
families OF molssses- colored children.
When the war broke out 8 few
weeks ago, they moved their dear
charges over to this side, and
they are nov living down In Fort Pick
ering in clover. Every day or two these
officers come over to see their harems,
and each time they come loaded with
spOils Of one sort and another. One OF
these gentry is named Payne, and was
IN town Sunday, and brought over plum
der TO the amount of $500. He went
back yesterday, and promised q Of his
negro wives to bring her any quantity OF
" trapsn when he comes again. We hope
that some of those who know this fellow
by sight may keep an eye on him.
