COMPETENT vs. HC0HPRTKNT
kNGIMEKRS.

AT frequent intervals our people are
alike 'astounded and Mortified, at the
recital of the fearful massacres conse-
quent upon boiler explosions. In
nearly every instance, the cause Of the
accident consists in detective ma
chinery or defective men. And though
we do not class the latter as ma
chinery, under the money regime, they
are little better. Quite a. frequently
it is manifested that unsafe boilers, OF
unsafe engineers, are employed by in
dividuals or corporations of immense
wealth, and proportionate sel6shness,
who plead an inability to pay the
prices demanded for good articles, OF
competent engineers-when in al
probability their investment il netting
them enormous profits. 1t is said by
some that the institution of Boards Of
Inspection, to examine into, and GER
tify to the safety of machinery, or the
ability Of mechanics employed to work
it. is expendient But in our judg
ment, it has ceased to be q matter Of
expediency only, and become ono O.
absolute necessity to devise some plan
whereby the most prolific sources O
such accidents may be closed up,
The competent engineer owes it to hi
reputation, to assist i'm the completion
of some one OF The numerous project'
presented with . view TO effect this re
suit The preservation of human
life and liberty il the first duty o

10 the Editor Of the woaKueHAH's ADVOCATE:
We are still on the strike here, with
no immediate prospects of its termina-

miners of this place had before the
strike are now exhausted, and no
doubt but what some families have sui.
fered greatly already, but we are one

The stomach, the skin, the nerves, tho
lungs, and the e1cretory orga Ms are especially
liable to be affected by these variations. and
the best defence against their disastrous ten
dency is to keep tho digestive machinery,
which feeds and nourishes the whole svst. m.
in good working order.
:, fthe stomach is weak or disordered, neither
the blood nor tho bile can be in a healthy
state, and upon the fitness Of these two inn
Portans fluids for tho Offices assigned to them
bv nature, and the regularity OF their flow,
health in great measure depends.
When the air is heavily laden with chilling
vapcrs, as it often is at this season of the
year, the digestion should be an object OF pe-

A NOBLE DISPLAY OF CHARlTY.-Inci-
dents like the following exert marvel
lously-healing power on the warm South
ern heart. A writer, from Nashville,
Tennessee, to one of the New York pa
pers, says:
"The Confederate orphans, sixty in
number; from their Home in Clarksville,
were brought here, on Tuesday last, to
rive concert in aid of their Home, the
Institution being entirely dependant upon
private charity. AT the railroad depot
they were met by the Federal post band,
in full uniform, which preceded them in
to the city, playing sweetly and mourn
fully, therefore most appropriately, com
manding the admiration and constraining
the enthusiastic applause of thousands
This practical fact, with the elimination
of that beginning in the Federal post Of
ficers attending the concert in the evening
in full uniform, whore honors given were
responded to by tears of sympathy shed
and contributions bestowed, has preached
the Union with decided power in all this
quarter, and been accepted rs an earnest
OF peace and goodwill to come.'s' s7'f

Several persons have lately been ar
ra;oned in York County, Maine, for viola

ity was manifested by their customers, in
eyading the truth before the court. One
man an unusually tall one, before starting
for court, stretched himself out on the
family cradle and had his wife to rock him,
and then went and testified he had not
drank anything intoxicating since he was
rocked in the cradle. .'
