five years, is just the same silly 9lI-oI-
der, hut not one whit wiser while he has
learned that the world is larger than he
once thought, ard he now looks upon the
wasted past with positive shame. Slow
as he IS, he has acquired new ideas, and
regards most of the gave questions of
life from a new standpoint. Jaundiced
by hope long deferred, he sees defects and
lines of care in the face which once seem
ed to reflect all the graces Of the soul
within. She is not what he once pictur-
ed her, and he learns for the first time
that the things of beauty which enchant
us are mere creations of the fancy, and
that the o~nceIoved idol is, after all, mere
clay.

HORRIBLE CALAMITY.
ANOTHER RAILROAD DISASTER.
FORTy.NINE PERSONS KILLED
AND WOUNDED.

Another railroad accident. akin to tn,
Gasconade horror, occurred on Tbursda,
last on the Pacific railroad, near the vii.
lsgc of Eureka, thirty miles from StLouis
The st. Louis Democrat dealing in the
shocking details, say.:
Mr. q. W. Smizer, a farmer living near
Eureka, heard the whistles Of the trains,
and knew collision had occurred. He
hastened 90 the spot, and for moment
was almost paralyze1 by the scene that
| presented itself. The two locomotives
were crushed TO shapeloss masses, and had
fallen on the south side OF the embankment,
! while most OF the car. fell ON the opposite
side. The groans ofthc wounded and dying
were fearful. Men were ly ing helpless
under the, ruins Of the cars--some with
broken legs, some with crushed arms, and
some sutiocating from the pressure Of the
weight upon them. An old man was
lying under the edge of the tender, the
dead body of his little daughter upon hi.
breast his wounded son near by. and
dend man lying across his legs He
begged some one 90 shoot him and put
him out of his misery. Capt r.. Angus
tine and number of his noighbors arrived
in short time, and all labored diligently
to rescue the wounded from the wreck
The tender which fas stoned the old man
down was rolled over, and the sufferer
taken out, but he soon died. Several

also arrived, and did all in

THE RUSSIAN QUESTION.

Earl Granville has had his reply from
the Russian minister, and learns by it that
the Gear was in earnest when Gortschakoff
sent his first note, and intends to take no
steps backward from the positions there
assumed. The question now with Eng
land is whether to fight or allow Russia to
have her own way. Upon this there is
serious division in the councils of England.
The Queen is said to favor peace, while
the Cabinet is divided. part sustaining
Granville and part the Queen. Those who
hold to sustaining the ''honor" of England
at any cost favor war, believing that Eng
land is in honor bound to sustain the trea-
ty Of 1856; but there is pretty strong
party which eschews the question OF honor
and holds that the safest and best way for
the nation is to keep out of the difficulty
This last is undoubtedly the wisest course,
but it is moi exactly up to the John Bull
standard in point of spirit, and therefore
it will be accepted if at all with very
poor grace.

During the past few weeks the yellow fever,
or as the Spaniards call it, Jfebre ama,1Ha,
has appeared In most of the thickly populated
cities of the Spanish coast Of the Mediterra-
mean. Henry Rugges, United States Consul
at Barcelona, writes that the panic there, oc-
casioned by the fever, has been extraordinary.
Out of a population of upward of 100000 in
habitants, it is estimated that l20, 900 have fed
from there homes and beiaken themselves to
the neghboring cities. villages and noun
tains, to awaitth disappearance ofthe dreaded
epidemic. In the harbor suburb of Bar
celoneta, containing a population, few
weeks since, of several thousand people, and
where the fever first appeared, there is not
now an inhabtantleft. Stores, shops, and cafes
in Barcelona are closed; bankers have ceased
to issue bills, and government offices are
being removed. The Custom House is shut,
the harbor closed, and all American and other
vessels are ordered TO Tarrasona to discharge
their freights.

the engine over the chasm. Two inches more
to the left and nothing could have saved them.
Jus, beyond the bridge the engine left the
sleepers, and, tearing away the track in all
directions, plunged down the bank to the left,
but so slowly that the entire train, except the
express-car, remained on the track. The dri-
yer and fireman jumped off uninjured, and one
man scratched in the baggage car was the only
casualty.

MEETING OF CONGRESS-.

Congress will assemble again at Wash
ington next Monday. The most impor-
tant consideration connected with its meet
ing is the fact that during adjournment its
previous acts have been passed upon by
the people of most of the States, and gen.
orally received their endorsement. The
loss on the republican side ohthe House
has not been for want of confidence in
= Congress and the Administration, but
mostly on account of local questions and
divisions, as in Missouri and Tennessee,
where the republicans lose most largely.
We know no instance where the course of
Congress was fairly brought into issue and
occasioned a loss A few close districts
were carried against the republicans by
unusual efforts and combinations upon
side issues, but the scarcity of such cases
in proportion to the exertion made is ra.h-
er an evidence Of the strength of the par
ty than one Of weakness. Congress will
meet then under encouraging and favora-
BILE circumstances. 1t has stood the test
before the people triumphantly, and has
the advantage OF knowing by the crit-
cism endured in the election its weak
points, as well as its strong ones, and will
if wise correct the former, while it holds
fast to the latter. The annual message of
the President will be one Of the most i'm
portant and satisfactory messages ever
sent to Congress and the country. 1t will
show the public debt reduced far beyond
the anticipations of the people, taxation
reduced, the currency nearly to the gold
standard, economy prevailing in all
branches of the government, better secu-
rity for life, property and honest elections
existing, peace with all the nations of the
world, peace with the savages, and pros,
perity everywhere on our wide domain.
With these general results, the reality OF
which are apparent to all eyes not willul-
ly blind, the masses of the people of the
United States will be content, and give
little heed to complaints about minor mat
tiers occasioned by personal disappoint-
ment, Or the stereotyped growing of the
hungry democracy. Let Congress reduce
taxation as rapidly as it can and make GER
tain the payment of the public debt; give
its attention to the improvement of COM
merce and navigation; aid to build up the
industry of the country; promote the hon.
est collection of the revenues; enter into
no wars not necessary, nor encourage any
either to please fishermen, Fenians or foi
party salvation; raise the civil service in
efficiency and lop off the corruptions en-
grated upon 1t by the democrats; protect
honest voting at the polls both North and
South; let Congress attend to these things
faithfully and it will be sustained against
all the arts and falsehoods of the opposi-
ton and lay broad and strong foundation
for a republican national victory in 1872.
