Caesar always went into winter quarters,
but there seems to be no alternating facili-
ties for either of the contestants in the
mighty struggle now going on in France.
They are compelled to fight it out on that
line if it takes all winter, and sore trial
it is to both of them. The pomp and cir
cumstance of glorious war in the pleasant
month of May is turned into anything
else but a glittering pageant when the
frosts and SHOWS of December freeze the
1.-the limbs and check the glowing ardor
even of youth.
AS we anticipated, the suffering in Paris
from want of fuel is greater even than that
which it was thought would be experienced
about this time by famine while in the
German camps beyond the wounded are
freezing to death. 1t is better, of course,
with the active soldiers, who can keep
themselves comparatively warm by march
ing and countermarching and fighting but
for the poor wounded, left for hours on the
field, and the suffering women and children
of Paris, this cold spell has awakened in
every human heart the livelest emotions
Of regretful sympathy-regretful because
of our utter inability to do anything for
their relief The beautiful trees of Paris
are being cut down to give warmth to its
mothers and little ones, aud after the trees
will come the furniture, and then the
houses. Oh, hofrd war, by mothers so
detested, how long must civilization bear
the crueltes of thy barbarous practices ?

A JUDGE FINES HIMSELF. The Grim.
inal court was adjourned at noon until
three o'clock P. N. The judge, however,
failed to appear at that hour, and about
four o'clock he entered the courtroom,
and on taking his seat, said "Mr. Clerk,
enter fine Of 500 against Samuel Dodge,
judge of this court, for being absent at the
hour to which this court adjourned" The
fine was entered by the clerk. While
there seems to be something nonsensical in
the presiding officer of court ining him
self for delinquency, there is, nevertheless,
a high moral principle of honor involved
which is the more commendable the more
we reflect upon it, GaLpesioa Bulletin.

Didn't Come TO Time.

John H Surratt, it appears, at the last
moment reconsidered his idea, and for the
second time in his life failed "to come 10
time" Even as he did not appear upon
the stage of action when Booth wanted
him, neither did be make his appearance
last night, on the mimic stage, before the
dezen or more persons who visited st.
Adams Hall out of pure curiosity.
He thought better of it in this case as
he did in that and we are glad of it, for
our city has been spared at least that

that we were fully justified in saying that
our citizens would not countenance this

Accident on the Mississippi and Ten
nessee Railroad.
CARS PREoTPTTATED FROM A BRIDGE---pAs-
sENGERs BURNED ALIVE.

i
An accident occurred on the iron bridge
over Nonconnah creek, about ten miles
below Memphis, Tennessee, on the Missis.
sippi and Tennessee railroad, Tuesday
morning. The accident was caused, it is
supposed, by the breaking of an axle of
the front passenger car, precipitating the
| first and second cars over the bridge, aud
setting them on fire. One car was entirely
destroyed by fire, and the other broken to
pieces. The back cars were uninjured,
save a severe jostling The locomotive
and tender passed safely over the bridge.
Only five lives are supposed to be lost, all
colored. A young man named Davis was
mortally wounded Many others sustained
slight injuries.
A later telegram says: The accident on
the Mississippi and Tennessee railroad this
morning was more terrible than at first
reported. AS the train was crossing the
iron bridge in Nonconnah bottom, five
miles south of here, the axles of the bag
gage car broke, and the second class pas
senger coach was dashed down the en-
bankment. 1t took fire and burned
rapidly.
AOtCA ANuUy, SouuuCtUIy was SlanUIDR
by the stove and was severely burned, but
managed to extricate himself. He climbed
out of the window, and worked heroically
to save the poor negroes, of whom the last
car was filled, but such was the rapidty of
the flames that nearly all the injured were
burned to death. Ha
The next passenger car was dashed
through the bridge and literally smashed,
though only few of the occupants were
seriously injured. A number of surgeons
and others repaired from this city to the
scene, and everything was done to relieve |
the sufferers, most Of whom were brought
here to the hospital.
There is no accurate report of the num-
Der lost Sallie Ames, Mary Deahharts
aud four colored persons were fatally in
ured. A youth named Davis, VIM. White,
omnibus agent, were severely, and three
,olored persons slightly injured. G. G.
Thompson, of Mississippi, Felix Deaey,
w. B. Waldin, VIM. White and Charles
Ecols were taken out of the burning car
BY the conductor and escaped burning.
