a CoIored Nan Run Over and Horribly
NutfIated.

rs the Sunday morning train from Chattt-
nooga was rounding curve three miles west Of
kiceyille, the engineer discovered man living
on the track. The train was stopped a soon as
possible, but not until half the cars had
passed over the body. Upon examination il

and had evidently been dead some hours, 1t is
supposed that the man was killed by the night
freight train. Tn" body was
FHsHrFuLLY MANGLED.
The wheels had cut and crushed ihe head so
that only the chin and a portion os the lower
jaw remained The wheels had also passed
over the abdomen, nearly seyerinc the body.
The clothing was nearly all torulotE and alto
gether, il was horrid and narrowing sight
The body was lying between and parallel with
the rail, and so terribly crushed that the pilot
anditrucks Of the passenger train did not touch it.
CAUSE OF THE ACCIDENT
Various coniectures were had and.there were
some circumstances that would indicate that
the man might have been murderedland then
placed on the track
The body lay at point Just beyond curve,
on an ascending grade, whore train approach
ing from the west would necessarily be running
at full speed, and could not have been stopped
before striking the man. Had ho been walking.
on the track the pilot would have thrown him
off At a point some thirty feet from whore the
body lay was
POOR OF BLOOD.
If the man was killed by the preceding train,
the body could not have lain in one place long
enough for SO much blood to have been dis
charged, and then have been dragged on so far
Opposite. this pool Of blood. and adjoining the
track, was wooden bucket and tin cup, stand
ing as If leisurely set down. The body could
not be recognized by the train hands Conduc-
tor Holloway left man in charge Of the re-
mains, and at Riceville sent back detachment
of section men to inter the remains of the unfor-
ttunate man.

Commissioner Delano has rendered the fol-
lowing decision, in accordance with the decis-
ions of some Of the United States District
Courts: The word gallon, as used in that part Of
the act of April TO- 1850, defining wholesale and
retail liquor dealers, shall hereafter be construed
as meaning wine-galon whether applied to dis
titled spirits, wine or malt liquors Therefore
wholesale liquor dealers will be limited in their
sales to quantities of less than five wine-galons,
regardless of the proof Of the spirits sold.

'JaCksOn's Mother.

An apecdote relating to his parting from
from his mother in his outset in life illustrates
this as prominent in the attributes Of his na
ture at that tune. The w.iter heard him
narrate this after his return from Washing
ton when his lust Presidential term had cx,
pired.
When about to emigtato to Tennessee, the
family wcro residing in the neighborhood Of
Greensboro, N G.. "I had" he said, econ
templated this step for somo months, aud had
made arrangements to do so, and at lust had
obtained my mothers consent to do it, All
my worldly goods were few dollars in my
purse, some clothes in my saddle bags, pret
ty good horse, saddle and bride. The coun.
try to which | was going was comparatively
a wilderness, and the trip long one, beset
by many difficulties, especially from the In
dians. felt, and so did my mother, that we
were parting forever. knew that she would
not recall her promise; there was too much
spunk in her for that, and this caused me to
linger day or two longer than I had in
tended.
"But the time came for the painful part

ready to leave, and must say farewell She

Rising In the World.

You should bear constantly in mind that
nine tenths of us are from the very nature
and necessities of the world, horn 20 earn our
livelihood by tho sweat Of our %row What
reason have we then to rlc,n nc that our
children are not to do the SAME! IF they
be-as now and then ono will bc--endowed
with extraordinary powers Of mind, those
powers may have an opportunity Of develop,
ing themselves; and if they never have that
opportunity, the harm is not very great to us
or to them. Nor does it hence follow that
the descendants of laborers are always to be
laborers. The path upward is steep and
long, to be sure. Industry, care, skill, cx.
pericnce in the present parents, lay the fouu-
dation Of rise under more favorable circum
stances for tho children. Tho children of
these take another rise; and by-and-by the
defendants of the present laborer become gen
tlcmcn. This is the natural progress. 1t is
by attempting to reach the top at single
leap that SO much misery is produced in the
world; and the propensity to make such an
attempt has been cherished and encouraged
by the strange projects VIC have witnessed
of late years for making the laborcrs virtuous
and happy by giving them what is called cdu.
cation. The education l speak of consists
of bringing up children to labor with stcadi
ness with care, and with skill /; to show them
how to do as many useful things as possible !;
to teach them how to do them in the best
manner; to set them an example of industry,
society, cleanliness and neatncss; to nake
all these habitual to them, so that they shall
never be liable to fall into tho contrary
practices to let them always see good liv-
ing proceeding from labor, and thus to re.
move from them the temptation to get at the
goods of others by violence or fraudulent
means, and to keep far from their minds all
the induccmcpt to hypocrncy and deceit
