Mental Life ofWo,nan.

Stew men," says a gentleman ofin-
telligence and observation, shave any
idea of the mental life or woman, of
how much thinking is done by them.
1t is fashion to say that woman don't
think; but it is a mistake. My father
died when was twelve years old, and
1 was brought up with my mother and
sisters. know that they, and the la
dies with whom they associated, We're
thinkers; and yet 1 remember that even
as q child, / was struck with the differ
ence when gentleman called. There
is difference between your sex and
ours. A man stands by his thought;
carries it openly like banner which
he is bound defend, while you, appear
emily more impulsive, and with repu-
tation for greater spontaneity, are in
reality much more reticent, and in a
certain sense, do your thinking on the
sly. Among yourselves you think
deeply, and express yourselves with
vigor. In the presence of man you
conceal your thoughts and reflect his.
Whether it is a fault your education,
or of your urapprobativeness, I cannot tell
but such seems to be the fact"

The Accident ON the Pan Handle
Railroad.

Last night about half-past eight
o'clock, as No % freight, heavily laden
with twenty odd cars, bound east, was
passing through a small cut at the
west end of No. 80 bridge, thirteen
miles west of the city, near Reeds mill,
a large stone, loosened by the jar of the
train, fell, striking the hind tank of the
engine truck, knocking it off the track.
The train was running at a speed of
about eight miles an hour at the time,
and allefiorts tostop her before reaching
the bridge failed. The engineer and
brakeman, seeming the engine would
go over, jumped off, but the fireman,
Jacob Hess, was carried over the abut-
ment of the, bridge with the engine
and tank with it in twenty feet of wa
ter. When the engine mabe the plunge
she struck the side braces of the bridge,
a wooden structure, carrying it with
her, together with several Ofthe ears.
The body of Hess, an unmarried man.,
was recovered last night about twelve
o'clock, and forwarded to his late home,
at New ComerstOwn. The engineer,
Mr.. j. Standley and the brakeman,
were slightly injured.-[Se.t6e''uille

ment up to March 1853, a promise to
pay so many dollars, without saying in
what they should be paid. The univer-
sal custom had been to pay in coin, and
this fact was represented by the Secre-
tary of the Treasury and all his agents
in negotiating the loan, and every per-
son who invested hundred dollars in
$40 bond was made to believe that
he or she was getting bond payable
in coin, principal and interest. But
COngresssunder the pressure of great
necessity passed the Legal Tender Act,
making greenbacks lawful tender for
the payment of all debts and obliga-
tions, with a few specified exceptions
The Democrats generally denounced
this law as unconstitutional, while the
war lasted, but as soon as the war was
over and the necessity for such law
greatly diminished, many of them
thought they would turn it to good ac-
count by making it apply to the bond
holders, and that they. would issue
enoughjmore of these legal tenders to
pay off the public debt; notwithstand-

proposed paying the $40 bonds accord
ing to CONTRACT in fGreenbacks, and
that at took like wild-fire with nearly
all the people" Now if Observer had
been close Observer of recent events,
he would not have written that last
sentence; for the Republicans have al
ways been nearly unanimous in their
opposition to any new issue of Green
backs with which to pay the public
debt, and a majority of the Democrats
are opposed to it also. 1t was on this
dogma that AL.. PendletOn was led to
the slaughter at New York, and an
avowed opponent of the whole Green
back bond theory nominated over him
for the Presidency, and the Democracy
all said amen. The theory never was
very popular even with the Democrat
ic party, as the sequel proved. Many
good Republicans believed that.accord-
ing to the provisions of the Legal Ten
der act bonds might be paid legally,
with the existing Treasury notes, but
that no new issue of Greenbacks could
be made for that purpose, and that a
departure from the well settled policy
of the Government in paying its bonds,
was of doubtful expediency. The Re-
publican party is not divided on this
question, but the Democratic party is,
or rather was, before the Greenback
theory exploded, and a fragment of
shell struck Mr.. Pendleton. ,ail7d .-'a
