A LESSON TO ALL.
Camtion as to Coal ON.


Scarce a day passes but some of our ex-
changes bring us accounts of one or more
deaths or q serious and severe accident
from coal oil and oil lamps. In nearly all
of these accidents carelessness is the cause.
Several unfortunate results from the same
causes have at different times transpired in
our city and vicinity, though we have had
to record none of a painful character re-
Gently. We give the facts of recent heart
rending death that occurred from the care
less handling of coal lamp in Cleveland a
very short time since, that may serve as
warning in this regard. The lady put some
shavings into the stove, lit them with a
match, and then foolishly poured coal oil
on the shavingsi The result was that the
fire ran at once into the can, and an ex-
plosion followed which sounded like a
cannon, and set the whole room on fire IN
an instant, the very paper on the walls
and the window curtains being in
stantly enveloped in flames. The poor
woman ran screaming into the street,
and rolled into the dust. The other
occupants of the tenement-house ran out
after her and one woman broke her leg in
the hurry to escape. Men on the street
took off their coats and threw them round
the woman, but it took five minutes to ex-
tinguish the fire. Her clothes were torn
of, -four was thrown on her face, and
water was dashed over her body, and as
soon as possible she was taken into the
house. She was literally burned to crisp,
and the flames even ate into her flesh, pen
etrating her mouth and nostrils, and burn
ed her lungs, SO that she avowed before
she died that she was on fire inside. She
kept repeating, ''How foolish was! How
careless 1 was! Now 1 suppose must
die" She died at o'clock the same even
ing.

Cases.
Ia case tried by the Recorder, white
lawyer of the Radical persuasion, appeared
on one side, and a black lawyer OF, or
about the same political faith, on theother
In his speech the white climb took occa-
sion to refer to the learned black counsel
on the opposite side as ''the black chief
from Africa, and true to the instincts of
Radical nature, endeavored to ridicule
the colored man who was there
20 do the best he could for his
client. g The black chief quietly
listened to the eloquent sarcasm Of the
white attorney, patiently waiting for an
opportunity to say something in reply.
The chance finally came, and the ''man
aud brother" darted in with hearty good
win. Addressing the Court in respectful
manner, he devoted his opening remarks to
the white lawyer on the other side who had
| referred to him las the black chief from
| Africa" He said, at is true, if the
| Court please, that | am a colored
man, but it does not follow that
/ cannot be a gentleman either here
or elsewhere. Conduct, not color, is the
true standard for estimating the worth of
men" Pursuing the same line Of thought,
the colored lawyer went on to intimate
that some time ago, when the negro vote
was power in this part of the land, the
| white Radical would have not referred to
him or any other colored man as 1.-THE
| black chief from Africa" He said that
while the votes of colored men could keep
white Radicals in Office, colored folks were
mighty lovely in the estimation ofsuch men
as the learned attorney on the other side.

themselves out of Office, and we colored
folks are not able to restore them to place
and power, they use us despitefully, and
seek to ridicule their former friends by
calling them black chiefs from Africa. We
cannot change our color and are not to
blame for the birth place or misfortune Of
our ancestors; but, thank God, it is not the
nature of our race to be ungrateful, to op-
press the weak or abuse the humble.

Another Man Shot-BenZinc and
Pistols.

4 difficulty of rather a serious nature
between a man named W.. ID. Smith from
Lebanon and Mr.. John Winter, bar-ten-
der at Turner's saloon on the corner of
Cedar and Cherry streets, took place at
near 10 o'clock yesterday morning. As is
too often the case in such unfortunate
transactions, whisky was at the bottom of it.
1t appears that Mr.. Smith, who came from
Lebanon the day before, imbibed too freely
of old Robertson and other things, which
probably was stronger than he had been
accustomed to among the quiet cedars of
old Wilson Be this as it may, Mr.. Smith
was pretty well tangled yesterday morning
In this condition he went into barber
shop and requested to be shaved. He
then concluded that he would be sham
pooed, and finally concluded that he would
do neither. He then became a little
boisterous, and made some demonstrations
with his shooting irons, which the tonsorial
artist did not relish. Words and remon-
strances followed and Smith at length left
the shop. He next went into Turner's
saloon at the locality indicated. Here he
became almost intractable and fourished
his pistol right and left. Mr.. John Winter
gave the intruder to understand that such
conduct was not permissible there, and
tried to get the man to put up his weapon
and behave himself. Smith only became
the more indignant, and drawing his pistol
fired The ball took effect in Mr.. Winters
right thigh on the inside, intlicting very
ugly flesh would, which though not seri-
Gus is of quite painful character. Winter
instantly drew his revolver and fred, the
ball going through Smiths coat, grazing
his left shoulder and lodging in the wall of
the saloon. Smith was promptly arrested
and taken to the workhouse. His case will
be investigated before the Recorder this
morning.

The sale began on High street, about one
hundred feet north of Monroe street, on a

foot, and after crying it for some little
time, it was finally knocked down at
$3.50 per foot. This was considered q
very good starting price, and the stock

Handsomely Said.

John L. Kirby, formerly of this city, but
for some time past connected with the
Louisville press, is about locating at Gal
latin, Tenn. Referring to the fact, the
Louisville Commercial says:
''Our readers will regret, in common
with ourselves, to learn of the departure
from the city of Mr.. John L. Kirby, a most
accomplished and agreeable writer of local
news, whose facile pen has often interested,
delighted and amused the readers of the
city papers. Mr.. Kirby goes to Gallatin,
Tenn, where he assumes an interest in a
mercantile concern. If he has as many
purchasers for his articles of merchandise
as he has had delighted readers of his arti-
cles for the press, he will soon become SO
successful merchant that his newspaper
friends will soon come to look upon him as
''bloated, bondholding aristocrat."s

Mr.. Demoss, Card,

There was very strong desire on the
part of large portion of the bar OF this
city to have A. L. Demoss, Esq, be.
come a candidate for the Supreme Court.
Mr.. Demoss stands in the front rank of our
lawyers. He is in the full vigor of man
hood, devoted to his profession, faithful
and persistent in his duties to his clients,
and would undoubtedly, if on the bench,
take a high position among the Judiciary.
1t Will be seen from his card, which We
publish this morning, that he declines TO
become a candidate.
