These statements are very instruc-
tive. Farmers and workmen do not
arrive at good old age as often as the
elergymen and others who perform no
manual labor; but this is owing to the
neglect of the laws of health, inatten-
ton to proper habits of life in eating,
drinking, sleeping, dress, and the
proper care of themselves after the
work Of the day is done. These farm
ers or workmen eat heavy supper
of a summers day and sit around the
doors in shirt sleeves, and in their
tired condition and weakened eircu-
lation are easily chilled, laying the
foundation for diarrhoea, bilious collie,
lung fever or consumption.

rnn1rIrss DISCUSSION.

The departure " discussion drags ITS
slow length along, and people go to sleep
over the long, dull columns that contain
IT The more it is discussed the more
the public mind is mystiied and the less
the people comprehend its drift. The
common sense old fellow in the country
is intent ON corn and cotton. He knows
all about that. Departure or no depar-
ture, he is after big crop and a big pile
ofsgreenbacks next fall He is gratihed
that he is unmolested in his operations

dure present evils rather than provoke
others that may prove greater. The
merchant and mechanic vish no violent
DISRUPTION of things that have been es-
tablished. 1t is immaterial whether
they we're wrongfully or rightfully estab-
lished, if they are facts that only revo-
luton peaceful or violent can undo. Like
editors and politicians, they denounce
the manner in which the Constitutional
amendments were adopted. Like other
sensible men, they know they cannot
pluck them out by an agitation that may
run its course within the limits Of sin
Gle election campaign. And so they
think that to 90 about their business
and leave them to the solution Of the
future is not to depart. They do not
feel that they are departing in admitting
the binding force of one part of the
Constitution any more than another.
Quietly, when the suspicious hour
comes, they will deposit their ballots
for the repeal of every Infamous law
and for the publication Of the outraged
old Constitution. They. cannot see the
wisdom of blowing horns, beating drums
and making a racket about the matter
now. Hence it is that they think the
discussions now numbering through the
nress out of time and hurtful to the
prospects of the success of the only
party that has the disposition to right
the wrongs complained of. We have
mt these sentiments into the mouths OF
merchants, mechanics and farmers, not
because we have authority to speak
for them, but because we have no doubt
that they entertain them.

RAILROAD COLLISION.
Several Reported Killed, and Many
Wounded.

New YORK, July Sat quarter past
eight clock this morning two passen-
ger trains, going at the rate Of thirty
FIVE miles an hour, came in collision at
Brills station, about one mile and half
this side of Newark, on the Newark and
New York railroad with the most ap-
palling results. 1t appears that the
switchman at the station had carelessly|
left the switch open. The eight o'clock
train from Newark, and 7.35 train
from New York, both web filed with
passengers, were approaching each other
under full Roadway, when the omission
of the switehman was discovered by the
engineer Of the down train, who imme-
diately whistled down brakes. The
warning however, came too late and the
two trains came together with frightful
crash before the speed Of either could
be checked. Both engineers stood
bravely at their posts, although they saw
death approaching in its most appalling
form.
The engines was crushed to atoms and
thrown in fragments on each side Of the
road, and the forward cars Of the ex-
press train was completely telescoped.
Immediately after the collision the
wrecked cars caught fire, and the fresh
wind sweeping over the fats famed the
flames into fury, enveloping the forward
cars of both trains in a moment Dan
White, brakeman on the down train, was
caught between the two first cars
and was crushed into jelly. His head
was taken entirely of Of his body and
, completely ground up, presenting a most
/, revolving spectacle. Frank Kern, engi
neer Of the mp train, had both leg
= broken, and died soon after. Johr
! Lynch, fireman Of the up train, was in
stantly killed. George Hill, engineer o
the down train, was buried beneath th'
4 ruins and died; his fireman, Samue

THE HEALTH PROSPECT.

The DAYS are not distant when we may
expect disease in all its forms, and per-
hans pestilence. Already disease, a
sort of cholera and yellow fever COM
bined. has made its appearance in
Brooklyn. 1t is rather alarming on ac-
count of the fatality attending the cases.
1t is certainly difficult to imagine com
bination of dangers more to be dreaded
than that Of cholera and yellow fever.
Either is deadly enough by itself, but
when reinforced by the other, then some
body must go under the ground. Vel
low fever has been imported from Ha-
vana into the city of New York.
Whether it will find congenial state OF
atmosphere, and appropriate material
for its operations, is a question the
people threatened will discuss with
anxiety. So far as our city is con-
eerned, we cannot begin too soon the
work of publication from one end
of il to the other. We know that
yellow fever and cholera have been
epidemic here, and that they have
shaved on the right and on the left, and
cut down in the meridian Of their live
and usefulness many Of our most valued
citizens. Yellow fever has desolate'
the city Of Buenos Ayres, and it is no
supposed that its ravages have been con
fined to a single place. 1t has airead,
advanced as far North as Havana, bu
thus far it does not seem 10 have take
the form of an epidemic. We need nc
be surprised at any hour to hear that
has appeared in our Southern Atlanti
cities. In that event it is not improbi
bic that it will visit Memphis. We car
not know. We can at least prepare fc
any emergency, and commence an
carry on a vigorous warfare against ell
ments that are understood TO invite I
This is the solemn duty Of the city go'
eminent. The work should not be d.
layed. If il be possible to remove tn
causes that attract deadly diseases, net
lectso do so BY those whose business
"a to do it, is crime.

WASHINGTON.


WASHINGTON, July S.-Several gentle.
men from Philadelphia called on Mr..
Davis, Assistant Secretary of State, yes
terday and sought the intervention Of
our government in behalf of the life Of
the Cuban General Cavada, who was a
Lieutenant Colonel of Pennsylvania
regiment during the war, and who is now
in the hands Of the Cuban authorities.
Ii was not urged that our government
should make any effort for his release
other than in the way Of friendly inter-
cession, but it was resolved to use such
eudeayors In his behalf as could be
done in the interest of humanity.
