A TERRIBLE DISASTER.
An Old Lady Of Seventy Burned to

Death Marrow Escape of rhsee Chill
dren.
A most terrible disaster occurred one
and half miles from Jasper, the county
seat OfDubois county, Indiana, on Christ.
mas day, which, from its suddenness and
fatal results, spread gloom over this els
tire community. A gentleman named
Dishinger and his mother, resided to-
gether in house situated about mile
and half from Jasper The mother was
seventy years of age and quite feeble.
On Christmas day Mr. Dishinger and
portion of his family went to church, leay-
ing his mother and three of his children,
all small, at home. During Mr.. d. alb
senee his To.her's clothes, by some
means, took FIRE and were soon in blaze.
She was in her own room when her CLOTH
ing took fire, and Immediately ran out
into an adjoining room where the three
little children were, crying, "Help mel
help me, children" The two Oldest
children, terribly frightened, ran out into
the yard, leaving the baby in the cradle
in the room with the burning grand
mother
The eldest girl, about eight years old,
almost Immediately returned to the room,
however, and rescued the infant from its
perilous situation but she was unable
to aid her Grandmother, and the old lady
ran to bed in the room and tried to get
under the bed clothing, in order to
smother out the flames. She fell upon
the bed without accomplishing her object,
and it Immediately took fire and was
soon in blaze. From the bed the flames
communicated to the house, and it was
soon reduced to heap of ruins, and all
its contents destroyed. The old lady's
body was nearly entirely consumed. 1t
is said she had about five hundred dollars
in gold and other property in her room,
amounting to about one thousand dollars
in value, all of which was lost.

The Governors Message to the LeEIs-
Iature.

New ORLEANS, Jan. Ain the Legis-
lature to-day no business was done except
reading Of the Governors message, large
portion of which is devoted to the late
election. It's Issues effect the country al
large az we'll as in Louisiana. The fol-
lowing paragraphs from the political por-
tions of his message are indications OF its
tone
In many parishes during late election
there we're the most disgraceful acts OF IN
timidatiou eliminating in several ia
stances in scenes of massacre. Shocking
to the sense Of civilized men, and only
finding parallels in the annals of savage
warfare, these instances of savage cruelty,
unprovoked, but willfnl and premeditated,
seem TO have been instiglt by the hos
tility of certain classes 10 the laws of Con-
gress by which the government has EN-
bodied the colored population into the
body polite and vouchsafed to them equal
political and civil rights.
He states Lat in reply TO the applica-
ton for troops, orders were issued which
might be construed 10 mean something IN
Georgia but which in Louisiana might be
said 10 consist only of words. That the
orders were made public and served only
- inform the lawless that they neel have
no fear from that quarter and could prose-
cute their anarchist schemes to the limit
oftheir purpose. lie takes an encouraging
view of the financial condition Of the State.
The entire bonded debt, exclusive of bonds
owned and held by the State, is $G,7lO,OOO
and the floating debt is nearly two millions,
which latter can be cancelled by the spe-
cial tax already levied and surplus oI
a half million be left. He believes aid will
be extended by the general government
towards regulating the leVees.
lie has no doubt that the United Stale
mint in this city, could be re-established
for the government as contribution for
use as a State CAPT O.. lIeurges the Legis
lature to adopt the school system without
distinction as to color. lie recommend:

and forgiveness of the past, and in the lat
ter spirit recommends the abrOgatiOn Of th

DISTRESSING AFFAIR.
Particular of thc killing OF TIVE


We learn that on Christmas-eye there
was at the Baptist church in Sharpsburg
q school exhibition, which passed off
pleasantly. After that a number Of
young men repaired to drinking saloon,
and then followed one of the most awful,
as well as remarkable and melancholy
affairs Ct which we have any knowledge.
Joshua Sharp, one Of the scholars Of the
school, who had acquitted himself with
credit at the exhibition, about twenty
years old, and Dick Taylor, but a few
years older, were friends, but being ex
cited by liquor, became involved in s
trifing difficulty. Angry words ensued-
Sharp proposed TO Taylor. "if he wished
10 fight he would accommodate him"
Each one took pistol from two OF the
bystanders and went to the street, Sharp
taking his position on one side Of the
street, Taylor on the other, about one
hundred .eet apart. Sharp said, "are
you ready ?' Taylor replied, " am !"
They then began to fire. Sharp's pistol
missed fire the first time, giving Taylor
the first fire which was harmless They
then fired about the Same time, and
both instantly killed. Sharp was shot
through the head and Taylor through
the heart.
This occurred about II O'Clock at
night, and on Saturday the two who had
been irie0ds until few minutes before
thew fought were followed to the same
graveyard By their sOrrOwing parents
and many friends. A little more
than a year ago young Smothers was
| shot and killed within one hundred
yards Of the scene of the above sad al,
| fair. Both of these and many other
crimes are traceable directly to the use
| of liquor, and still those who have the
power to do so continue to license liquor
saloons without discrimination, thereby
| giving cOuntenance to all the evils that
necessarily follow.
| We learn that the county Judge oil
Bath has recently refused all aPPlica~
tions for license TO sell liquor, and for
the act receives the thanks OF all who
have regard for the public morals or
value the safety of human life. The
laws on the subject ought to be severely
and rigidly enforced, aud measures
should be taken to place a restraint up
on those who sell liquor indiscriml-
nately to old and young, while
and black. The men who handed weap-
ons TO these unfortunate youths are ac-
cessories to murder from legal as well
as from a moral standpoint, and, in any
other country would be severely pun
ished. We learn that two peace Of
fcers were present at this tragedy, who
might easily have prevented it, and yet
did not.-MaysrHe (Hy) Eagle, Dec

The CHIFFONNIERs.
How the King Piekers Of New fO
Live ana What hey Earn

How the King PlcHers Oh NeH A
Live and what hey Earn
At a late meeting of the W orking
Women's Association of New York,
Mrs. Norton, chairman of a com
mittee Of investigation in the con-
dition, habits, labor and earnings OF
the rag-pickers of the metropolis,
presented quite an interesting re
port. She said that the mere col
lection of rags forms but a part OF
these chiffonniers. They not only
pass these into their bags, but pick
up bones, pieces of glass, old iron,
boots, shoes, scraps OF leather-all
are equally valuable. After the rag
picker has filed his bag or basket,
and often his hat and pockets, he
goes home and asserts his wares,
and then sometimes makes another
round. The labors begin usually at
3 or 4 o'clock in the morning. Some
make their rounds in the middle OF
the night, starting at 10 o'clock.
About one or two in the afternoon
he gets home. The different arti-
cles are placed in different recepta-
cIes and left there to accumulate
until the dealer comes round.
The price paid to the rag-picker
for papers and rags is not three
cents per pound; glass one cent q
pound; for bones, scraps OF bread
and other garbage, fifty cents a
bushel; leather, boots and shoes are
bargained for. They earn from
forty cents a day to ten dollars
week. In this, as well as in every
| thing else, there are grades of work
men-some living as other work
men, and some from hand to mouth
They resent every infringement o
their vocation. The large majOrit!
| of these are Germans, who coming
out here poor, are compelled to &C
cept this way of living. There Is
small colony in Willet street, con
sisting of LOG families and 45O per
sons. Some have comfortabl
| homes, send their children to school
and when they have earned enough
emigrate to farms in the West
The whole number is about l2OO.
The old rags and paper which the
pick uD are given to the paper
makers, and return to the breakias
table of the people in the shape Q
newspapers. The old bones al
transformed into parasol handles
also into tooth brushes and Othe
articles of trade Pieces of iro
often find their way into the boudoi
in the shape of the Grecian ben
. and paniers. She had come aero.
more than one instance in which IL
rag picker had been changed into
Wall-street stock gambler. Not
ing is refused by him, nothing
filthy save that which he cannot FIN
, He is a living peripatetic sermC
: which teaches us not to despise Il
day of small things.
