The editor of the Louisville Courier
paints this pen. picture of the "Prince
of Blatherskites :" A locomotive that
has run off the track, turHed upside
down, with its cew-catcher buried In
stump, and the wheels making thou
sand revolutions a minute-a kite Ia the
air which has lost its tail-a human
novel without a hero-a man VINO
climbs n tree for birds nest
out on the limb, and in order
to get it saws the limb Oft be-
tween himself and the tree-a ship
without rudder-a clock without
hands-a sermon that is all text-a
pantomime of words-an arrow shot
into the air-the apotheosis of talk
the incarnation of CAB. Handsome,
vivacious, versatile, muscular, as neat
as a cat, clean to the marrow, judge
of the effect of clothes, frugal in food
and regular only in habits-a noon-day
mystery-a solved conundrum-a prac-
ticsl joke in earnest-a cipher hunting
a figure to pass for something, with the
brains of twenty men in head all pull
ing different ways; not bad as to heart,
but a man who has shaken hands with
reverence.

How Joh n Morri.sey started.

Morrissey's history is thus given by a
newspaper correspondent: He came { O
New York a few years ago dilapidate d
and out of repair generally. Votir g
was perilous thing, and roughs smasl l.
ed up the ballot boxes when they pleased d.
A few gentlemen found Morrissey in the
city, out of funds, and ready for any
thing that should turn up. He had
been keeping low dram shop in Troy,
so low that the authorities closed it.
He organized band of roughs, and
promised to keep the ballot box intact
until the election closed. With a re-
ward for this service he bought a new
salt of clothes and opened small place
of hazard. He abandoned drinking, and
formed the resolution never to play.
He rsse gradually, till his place became
the most elegant and the most noted in
America. He opened his famous Club
House in Saratoga, became acquainted
with the leading dealers in stocks, con-
Quoted the races, and became mil
lionaire.

Philanth P0py.

Some American correspondent of the
New York Times, writing from Malvern,
England, is inflated with philanthropy
of the present New England type, for he
is very anxious that something should
be done to put down the English pas
sion for field sports, which he charac-
terizes as brutal, and suggests "soci.
ETY. for the prevention of cruelty
to animals" while evidently blind
to the miseries of the poor, over
worked factory hands of his model
Massac husetts, many of whom drag
their weary chains fourteen hours a day.
This tender. hearted man speaks in a
horrified way of "the innocent little
birds and noble stags, slaughtered on
moor and mountain by cowardly, cruel
Englishmen, of every degree, from the
prince to the peasant, and speaks of
their "butchery" with makish sentimen-
tality, which convinces one that his
sympathies are either very easily
worked upon, or Of the "Boorioboola-
CHA" order.

MIRACULOUS ESCAPE.
A Carriage Containing Four Persons
Torn TO Fragments by Raiirond

A Carriage Containing Four Persons
Torn TO Fragments by n Rnilrond
Train.
From the Nashville Banner, 7th.I
One of the most wonderful and un-
precedented escapes from horrible
death that was probably ever recorded
occurred at a o'clock Tuesday afternoon
on the Louisville g. Memphis railroad.
While the train was rushing at full
speed, within a short distance of Rus
sellville, KY, and near the crossing OF a
country road, a carriage, drawn by two
mules, and containing four persons, sud
denly appeared upon the track. The
engineer was horriied at the sight. He
shuddered as he blew down brakes"
and reversed his engine. The carriage
seemed to stand still, while the train
swept on, threatening to carry with 1T
destruction aud death. Nothing could
stay its swift course.
There was a crash. The carriage was
torn into fragments. Two of the in
mates, a lady and gentleman, were car
ried distance of one hundred and fifty
wards on the COW. catcher, and dropped
iHto a cow gap. The other two, a gen.
tleman and lady, rode on the cow
catcher, to which they clung with the
tenacisy of desperation for the distance
of one hundred yards beyond, when the
train was finally checked and they
were taken off. Had not the first two
fallen into the gap, they would have
inevitably been crushed underneath the
wheels of the train. The escape seems
providential and miraculous.
The frame of the carriage, having
first come in contact with the locomo-
tive, broke the force of the collision,
and they were dropped, as it were, on
the cow-catcher as the train passed on.
This is the only way in which their
escape can be accounted.
When the carriage was strnck it was
torn loose from the mules, which had
Just passed over the track sufficiently
far to miss the train. The animals,
becoming frightened, ran away toward
Russellville. The two gentlemen and
ladies were cousins, and were on their
way to that place when they were over
taken by what might have proved a
terrible catastrophe.

AfaIe Senator.

The Democratic County Convention
on yesterday ratified the nomination
heretofore made by the Democracy of
Brooke and Hancock counties, of Hon.
LEWIS APPLEGATE as a candidate for
the Senate from the First District. The
choice of this gentleman for reelection
confers a deserved honor on worthy
representative. Mr.. APPLICABLE has al
ready served two years in the State
Senate, has acquired perfect familiarity
with the legislative proceedings and has
discharged his trust to the entire salts
faction of his constituents. When first
elected he received the largest majority
ever gwen by the Democrats in the Dis
trict. From what we learn of Brooke
and Hancock, and from what We know
of this, his majority will be increased
above its former handsome figures.

The Rinx

The lame ducks in Wall street are
dreadfully torn up in their minds to
find out for certain what men form the
ring which initiated aud carried out
the late gold panic. The poor puppets
are whining piteously over having their
strings pulled by unseen hands, and
being compelled to dance whether they
feel like it or not. This is presumption
on their part. Such distinguished in
dividuals as the puissant Fisk, the care
ful Corbin, the ghoulish Gould, the
auriferous Vanderbilt and the beautiful
Boutwell,, are not going to indulge the
curiosity of their victims. So let these
"deluded souls who dream of" a day of
reckoning hide their disfgured heads.
They have ventured under the wheels
of the golden Juggerna1t, and must ex-
pect TO be mangled. They have been
unsuccessful, and the world despises
and pities unsuccessful people.

A Terrible Scene.

The Indianapolis Journal briefly but
graphically describes the scene OF the
explosion at the Indiana State Fair on
the 1st inst:
To attempt pen picture of the scene
were folly. Imagine fifteen theusan9
people, pallid with fear, rushing and
crushing to and fro. impelled by name
less something toward an lndennaoie
object; men bearing dead and wounded
into the various halls; women shrleklng
and crying for fear their husbands, sons
or brothers might be among the killed;
strong men convulsed and in tears be-
cause temporarily separated from wives
and children, and in suspense as to their
safety; here stumbling across the ma
tilated form of a man; there appalled,
with the horrid spectacle of skull abb
solutely stripped of its flesh; here an
arm, there pair of legs; here a side of
flesh cooked until it looked like triPe;
there a pool of clotted blood; here q
horse struck dead in it's harness, with
the occupants of the carriage dumb and
palsied with terror. Ali this and more,
infinitely, must be imagined to fill in
the details of picture of which it were
next to impossible to give but the faint
est outlines.
Several yards from the disaster was
found a pair of legs held together by
the merest shred of flesh. At one place
was the head.ess trunk of a man; at
another was the leg of woman, with
her boot and stocking and part of her
drawers still upon it; the arm of man
was found driven into poplar board,
while not far from power hall was seen
the body of man 50 horribly mutilated
that his heart, stomach, liver and lungs
could readily be seen. When first dis
covered his heart was still palpitating,
and the motion of the organ was plainly
observed.
A mai walking in front of the execu-
tive headquarters was startled at seeing
the skull of man drop in front of him,
the flesh actually scalded off the bones,
but the eyes and teeth still remaining
in the sockets and jaws.
1t is reported, apparently on good au.
thority, that woman was delivered of
a child on the ground, the fright bring
ing on a miscarriage, which may cause
her death.

A San Francisco paper says: A check
has been given to our shipments of
grapes and other fruits overland by rail,
owing to the arbitrary ruling OF the
Chicago Board of Health, whereby an
entire car load of choice pears and
grapes were condemned to be destroyed
simply because portion were decsyed.
The entire shipment cost the owner,
laid down in Chicago, including
freight, $1,000, and although dealers
offered $500 or more for the lot, as 1t
was, yet the whole was condemned
and cast out as worthless. The result
is already apparent; We know of sim
gle lot of 200O boxes of grapes, put up IN
Marysville expressly for the Eastern
market, but Immediately after the pub
llcation of the correspondence above
referred TO, the shipment was stopped
and the fruit sent to this city for sale.
We regret this stsppsge exceedingly, IS,
with anything like a fair show, we cer-
tainly can control the grape market OF
the East, particularly in the line OF our
choice foreign varieties.

Our opponents are divided, and large

disaffected toward their nominees.
They cannot see the propriety OF sup

educated them into prescription as a
principle and now desire to abandon it

borne in mind, and from it let the as
surance be derived that with proper

GREEN APPLES.

This beautiful and seasonable poem Is taken
from Trowbridge's The vagabond and Other
Poems.
ful down the bough, Bob Isn't this fun
NOW give II shake, and-there goes one!

Ii IL Ism as mellow as mellow can be
know by the stripe
1t must be ripe!
That's one apiece for you and me-
Green, are theyl Well, no matter for that,
Dit down on the grass and we'll have a chat;
AND IN tell you what old Parsen Butte
SAID last Sunday of unripe fruit
Life" says he
Is q bountiful tree
neavily laden with beautiful fruit.
EoF the Ts5 youth there's love- just streaked with
And great joys hanging just over his head
happiness, honor and great estate,
For those who patiently work and watt
blessings" said he,
i "Of every degree,
ktpsniRg early, and ripening late
Take them in season, pluck and eat,
and and the fruit Is wholesome, the fruit is sweet;
But, my friends =" Here he gave a rap
On the desk, like regular thunder-clap,
And made such bang
Old Deacon Lang
woke up out of his Sunday nap.
Green fruit, he said, God would not bless;
But half hfos sorrow and bitterness,
Half the evil and ache and crime,
Came from tasting before their time
The fruits Heaven sent,
Then on he went
To his Fourthly and Flfthly-wasn't it prime
But, say, Bob we fellows don't care
SO much for mouthful Of apple or pear;
But what we like is the fun OF the thing,
When the fresh winds blow, and the hang. birds
bring
Home grubs, and sing
To their young ones a-swing ~
In their basket Best tied up by its string. e,
like apples in various ways;
They're frst.rate roasted before the blaze
VI winter fre and, my eyes
Aren't they nice, though, made into pies
scarce ever saw
One, cooked or raw,
That wasn't good for boy of my size!
But shake your fruit from the orchard tree,
And the tune OF the brook and the h um Of the
bee,
And the cbipmenks chippering every minute,
Ana the clear, sweet note OF the gay little
innet,
And the grass and the flowers,
And the long summer hoErs,
And the flavor Of sun and breeze are in 10.
But this is hard one! Why didn't we
Leave them another week on the treel

And the taste of il Fuckers
