An Expensive Railway.

The Baltimore and Ohio railroad ex-
poets to open in June direct line from
Washington to Point of Rocks, reducing
the time to Pittsburgh and Cincinnati
two or three hours, and avoiding all
changes and transfers. This piece of
road, though only AZ miles long, was
estimated to cost 100000; and one
single mile upon it, near the mouth OF
the Monocacy river, has already cost
nearly 100000. The country between
Washington and Harper's Ferry CON
sists OF series of bold, almost noun
famous hills, which are crossed trans
versely by streams emptying into the
Potomac; and this road is to leap every
stream on high and costly bridge, and
then plunge Immediately into heavy
rock-tunnel. In one place, 100000
cubic yards of rock and earth had to be
moved. Some of the cuts are so feet
deep, and many of the entertainments
90 feet high. The cuts are only Is feet
wide at the bottom, and only ten men
can work in each end of the cut,-in
some cases progressing no more than %
feet in one month.

The Atlanta Constitution details as fol-
lows the tragic consequences of dis
pute at Monticello, GA, about the hire
of negro: "The parties were Clinton
Digby on one side, and Seaborn Kelly
and two brothers on the other-all
farmers. They met in Monticello on
the 18th inst, at the election. The dis
pute revived between Clinton Digby's
brother and the three Kelleys. Young
Digby drew his pistol, but before he
could use it, one Of the Kelleys seized
his arm and held it up while the other
two Kelly's pounded away in sledge
hammer fashion on Digby. AT this
Juncture Clinton Digby came up to the
assistance of his overpowered brother.
AS he approached, one of the Kelley's
shot him in the leg. Nothing daHnted,
he fired, and killed the Kelley who held
his brother; then wheeling quickly, he
shot down another of the Kelleys, who
died in about an hour. Then mounting
horse he rode furiously over fences
and through the woods, and made his
escape"

Vaccinated to Death.
From the Green Bay Gazette. Feb. 20

We get the particulars, from an au,
thentic source, of distressing state of
affairs existing in the town of Hartland
Shawano county, manifestly resulting
from vaccination, although the precise
and direct agencies which contributed
to it are not as yet known. Smallpox
having slightly prevailed in the county,
the Town Board of Hartland resolved
to have vaccination thoroughly per
formed within their borders, and &C
cordingly made a stipulation with a
well known physician of Shawano to do
the work. He visited the town last
Wednesday, and between the hours of 10
o'clock in the morning and o'clock in
the afternoon vaccinated III persons,
old and young. OF this number, within
six hours after each patient was vacci-
mated, he was taken sick, exhibiting
symptoms of having been poisoned. By
the next morning three had died; two
children of one family being among the
victims. Very naturally great conster-
nation seized upon the community, and
fear added still greater danger to the
situation of the unfortunate people.
Messengers We're sent to this city for
medical aid, and on Friday Drs. c. f..
Crane and Rhode went to the scene.
By the time they arrived there the
sick people had begun to improve, and
apparently needed little else than slim
ulants to entirely recover. AS near as
can be described, the arms of the pa
tents presented an appearance similar
to the results of snake bite, and the
symptoms were those of persons recov-
ering from an overdose of morphine.
Great care was taken to ascertain the
origin of the vaccine matter used, and
it appeared that it was taken from the
arms of perfectly healthy children, dis
solved, as the physician insists, in glyce-
rine, and inserted in the arm by means
of a patent spring instrument. AS the
matter stands at present, no blame APP
pears to attach to any person, but the
whole affair presents strange and most
unaccountable phases.
We understand the Town Board has
taken possession of the vaccine matter
used, and that it will undergo analyza-
ton at the hands of some practical
chemist, when perhaps some clue to the
mystery may be afforded.

The Art of Not Hearing.

The art of not hearing is fully i'm
portant to domestic happiness as a cul-
tivated ear, for which so much time and
money are expended. There are so
many things which are painful to hear,
many of which, if heard, will disturb the
temper and detract from contentment
and happiness, that every one should
be educated to take in or shut out
sounds at will. If man falls into a
violent passion and calls me all manner
of names, the first word shuts my ears,
and | hear no more. If in my quiet
voyage of life | am caught in one of
these domestic whirlwinds of scolding.
| shut up my ears, as a sailor would furl
his sail, and making all tight, scud be-
fore the gale. If a hot and restless man
begins to inflame my feelings, | con-
slider what mischief these sparks might
do in the magazine below, where my
temper is kept, and instantly close the
door. Does a gadding, mischief making
fellow begin to inform me what people
are sayin. about me, down drops the
portcullis of my ear, and he cannot get
in any further. Some people feel SO
very anxious to hear everything that
will vex and annoy them, they set about
searching and finding it out. If all the
petty things said Of one by the needless
or ill-natured idlers were to be brought
home to him, he would become mere
walking pin cushion, stuck full of sharp
remarks. | should as soon thank d
man for emptying on my head bushel
of nettles, or setting loose swarm of
mosquitoes in my chamber, or raising a
pungent in my house generally, as to
bring upon me all the tattle Of spiteful
people. you would be happy, when
among good men, open your ears
when among bad, shut them. 1t is not
worth while to hear what your servants
say when they have slammed the door f.;
what beggar says whose petition you
have rejected what your neighbors say
about your children what your rivals
say about your business or dress. have
noticed that well-bred woman never
hears an impairment remark. A kind
OF discreet deafness saves one from not
little apparent connivance IN dishonor-
able conversation.

The Lost Confederate Archives.

A Mr.. Stone, of New York, gives the
following bit of information concerning
the disposal made of the Confederate
archives at the surrender
"On the morning Of Mr.. Davis's cap
ture," says Mr.. Stone, David Tilgman
waited upon him at his bedside, and
said: By this you may see that the
enemy is here such and such is the dis
position of the roads. If you come with
me, you will be able to leave the coun
try in safety. If you donot, you will be
captured in FIVE hours To this Mr..
Davis replied curly he knew his own
business best Tilgman continued !:
Very well, sir; | have been intrusted
with the treasure and archives, and
propose to secure them, even at the pc
ril of the loss of your favor and my life.
| shall start at once by the way have
marked out The result is well known.
In less than five hours Mr.. Davis was a
prisoner, but the. archives were safe.
When, few weeks after, in the recesses
of the forest, Tilgman learned that all
was lost, he alone, with his own hands,
buried the treasure and archives, and,
unless during the four years that elaps-
ed between his parting with me and his
untoward death he revealed the spot,
the secret as to the whereabouts of the
archives is forever buried. A long as
they can be kept from the ken of man,
so long shall the story be monument
to our brothers answering fidelity
This is the true history of the archives
of the Southern Contederacy, although
rumors are from time TO time set ahoal
of their being now in the vaults of this
bank and now of that

Aggravated Indigestion.

A New York IcOnOclaSt.

More than two years ago, New York
city engaged the celebrated English
naturalist, Mr.. B. Waterhouse Hawkins,
to enrich the Central Park Museum by
making for it models of the skeletons
of extinct American animals. When
Mr.. Hawkins had been at work for some
twenty months, Mr.. Henry Hilton was
appointed to some office which gave
him supervisory power over the Cen
trail Park collections. The freaks of the
learned Hilton were many and startling
When Peter Cooper presented the
skeleton of a whale to the Museum, Mr..
Hilton had it carefully painted white
Elated by the beauty of the specimen
when thus adorned, the ingenious II.
tried his. artistic. hand on bronze statue,
and painted that white! In an UNI
lucky moment, the eagle eye of this
iconocastic reformer lighted on the
huge skeletons which Mr.. Hawkins had
reared at the expense to himself of
much pains-taking and care, and at the
expense to the city of some $4,000.
Whether or not the naturalist declined
to allow his works to be plastered over
with paint, we do not know, but certain
it il that Mr.. Hilton had them all de-
stroyed with a sledge -hammer, and then
had the fragments carted away and
buried. They were afterward dug up
by order of Col. Stebbins, and found to
be irretrievably ruined. Prof. Henry,
of the Smithsonian Institute, was ready
to pay good price for the skeletons,
but the great Whitewater, Hilton,
judged best to destroy them utterly.
Evidently, the Government Of New You k
city needs reform in other points besides
honesty.

Terrible Railroad Disaster-TwO Killed
and Fifty.tWO Wounded.

A northern bound passenger train
on the Louisville and Cincinnati
Short-line railroad, fell through the
bridge three miles north of Elliston
Station, KY, on Thursday. The bridge
was of iron and wood, twenty-five feet
high and seventy feet in length. 1t
rested on two stone abutments, and was
considered safe. The train reached the
bridge at ll:2O a. M, running about
twenty miles per hour. The locomotive
passed over safely only before the struc-
ture went down, and with it two passen-
ger coaches, tender, baggage, express
and mail car, piling all together in one
mass of ruin below The front passen-
ger car was reduced to splinters, while
the others Jared but little better. The
fragments of the front car were soon in
flames, but by the promptness of Dallas
Pullam, the engineer, they were sub
dued. About sixty five passengers were
on board. OF this number two were
killed and fifty, two wounded, some
severely. Surgeons and supplies went
from Covington about | o'clock in the
afternoon, and locomotive followed
with other surgeons a short time later.
The wounded were cared for and placed
in cars.
The passengers say the wounded were
heaped in a horrid mass, and that the
scene following was exciting in the ex-
IRENE. Wounded passengers joined
with citizens from the surrounding
country, and officers of the train, in the
work of extracting the bodies. The
killed were John g. Brock, of Sparta,
Owen county, KY, and Harrison Julian,
the colored porter of the train. Both
were badly mutilated. Trains took the
wounded, as soon as possible, to Coving-
ton, where they were we'll cared for.

The Story of a Life.

New York has a young lady, the
strange vicissitudes of whose life would
furnish first-class subject for the So
cial novelist. Gertie Blanchetti was
among the concertsaloon girls arrested
at the pulling" of Canterbury Hall.
In 1860 her father was a successful
merchant engaged in the East India
trade. First came his failure, then his
death, and Gertie was left alone in the
world. She obtained situation in q
public school in Boston, and proved a
successful teacher; but a row among the
lady teachers was followed by her re-
signation, when she came to New York
to seek her fortune. She was thor
oughly conversant with the French,
Italian and Spanish languages, but her
advertisements for situation as COVER
ness were fruitless, as were those for a
situation as amanuensis and copyist.

A Sad Story.

An aged Austrian named Kannelder,
with beautiful niece. came to America
from Vienna about thirteen years ago,
and settled at Paterson, N. j. Three
years after, one Lawrence ran off with
the niece, and nothing was eyer heard
of them. The old gentleman has since
occupied room with Albert Uber, in
Broadway, Paterson, and for ten years
has done all his own work, even to
cooking his victuals. But dangerous
desire fastened upon him, and but a
short time since he told his friends he
would die soon in an unusual way. On
Thursday last he stepped out, and al
though the streets and by-ways and
fields where he used to wander have
been searched, nothing has been found
of the old man. He has probably
crawled away somewhere and died.
Once this man was wealthy and occupied
high position in Austria but he
would never tell anything of his past
life, and the history of his existence
dies with him. He was kind and be-
nevolent, and despite his eccentricity
he leaves a large number of friends to
mourn his mysterious dep arturo.

A New Mica Mine.

Some months ago citizen Of New
Jersey, while searching for minerals in
the mountains of Warren county,
stumbled into woodchuck hole and
fell to the ground. He found around
the mouth of the hole what upon in
vestigation proved to be mica. He
bought the property. The deposit of
mica is found in one solid mass, IA feet
wide, in continuous layers like roof
stating, and is dug out in large square
blocks, which may be split into innum-
cradle pieces. The only other mica
mine known to exist in the United
States is in North Carolina.
