We have read this story with deep interest.
While it 10 we'll written, and the narrative such
- to rivet attention, the lessons it is designed to
iaeulcats are kept constantly in view, and are Of
great importance. The tine is, as has been no.
ted, on the eve of the opening Of the great civil
conflict through which this nation has passed.
and while it unfolds its causes, it deprecstes
their results The author inveighs strongly
against the partisan aud sectional rancor that
not only lead to the great civil war, bat threaten
to survive it, and deprecates them as the great
bane Of our political system.

have been made either for the purpose of
giving 'tsuch minor radical newspapers as the
Ottawa Republican something to talk abo ut
or for the purpose of calling into being a

Slaughter by Steam.

Since the Franco-Prussian war wore itself
out and the communists in Paris were squelched,
We have NO more details Of frightful, bloody bat
ties to record but, peace or war, the slaughter
OF human beings goes on all the same. A
steamboat explosion, like that of the Westfeld
few weeks ago, and railroad collision every
day or two, can get rid of surplus humanity
quito as rapidly as iron and lead and villainous
saltpetre. In proof of this the telegraph dur.
ing the past week has given us a couple of sig
nal and impressive proofs, in the way of rail-
road collisions:
The first was on the Eastern Railroad at Re.
we're, miles from Boston, last Saturday. The
accommodation train started behind time, aud
while stopping at the station at Revere, the
Portland lightning express overlook it and tele.
scoped it. killing twenty.one passengers out.
right, OF whom three were women. During the
next two days ten additional deaths occurred,
and cut Of eighty persons wounded, number
mere must die. The cause of the accident was
simply that the engineer on the express train
chose to plunge his train in the one standing at
the station before him.
Among the killed is Dr. Ezra s. Gsnnett, the
well'known pastor Of Arlington Street Church,
formerly . colleague Of the late DR.. Charming
and ono of tho most distinguished Unitarians in
the country. DR.. s. Mason, . distingu,shed
Bsptist divine of Cambridgeport, was also in.
stantly killed. Many of the most inauen tial
families in Lynn, Salem and Chelsea have suf-
fsrsd from the accident. Among tho wounded
w.s Mr.. Lloyd Garrison, Jr. A ooro,er's jury
has been called to investigate the matter.
The other murdsrous collision occurred on
the Philadslphia Il Erie railroad on the next
day-27th inst-when the Erie Mail train ran
into freight train near Westport, causing the
death Of Reuben Window and R. G. Brown, Of
Lockhaven, passengers; E. W. Hymsn, of Will.
Transport, conductor, and Thomas Cannon, of
Dunkirk, fireman, of the mail train; james w.
Ward, OF Bellefont, Pa, conductor, and Willism
Killingsr, Of Altoona, Pa, engineer, of the
freight train, besides wounding some fifteen 9th
srs An official investigation shows that the
accident vas caused by the neglect Of the con.
ductor and engineer Of tho mail train to obey
orders given them not to pass Westport uatil
tho freight train had Arrived there. A copy of
the order was found in the pocket of tho engi.
neer, who was believed t. be fatally injured, but
later intelligence reports him improving, though
still unable to converse.
