woman ran and screamed, small boys and dogs
got out of the way 10 hurry, while strong
men were so overcome by. the excitement Of
the occasion as not to have many wits at their
disposal. At length q man holder than the
rest, grabbed the woman and beat her hustle

"A TERRIBLE DEATH.-I esterday young
man named Edward Coutier, engaged 10 warn
ishUg furniture on<the third floor of No. 81
Atwater street, met with a horrible death.
The young man has had a great passion for
gymnastics, expecting to attach himself to a
circus as sooD as he became proficient While
working around the building he has used all
his spare moments in swinging from beams
turning handspriDgs and pert3rming other feats
calling for suppleness and activity He was
seen clnging to the main shaft of the two-hun-
dred horse power engine few days ago and
was warned by his employer uever to attempt
the feat again. This shaft runs along within
thrifty inches Of the floor aud makes about
one hundred and fifty revolutions per minute.
After finishing up table Cloulier went to the
north end of the building and prepared himself
to perform some feat which hc.hadt studied up.
Taking the tackle rope, which is used 10 hoist
articles from the alley below. h. passed the free
end oyer the Shaft. This much was Ascertain
ed after his death, but his further proceedings
will never be known. \ boy was working
forty feet away and was first alarmed by hear
ing Clouier call out Stop the engine
quick !! Running around the boy saw that he
was caught in the folds Of the rope and wound
over the Shaft. The boy ran. as did Others,
but it was two or three minutes before the en-.
CINE could be stopped, aud then the victim
was past help. As soon as the rope lashed
him close to the shaft the young man had To
turn whit One of his arms was caught
round the shaft 50 that it drew his face and
shoulder close down. but left his limbs free 10
pound on the floor, and in this manner he was
beat to death. -Detptt Free Press.

SOME OF THE RADICAL JOURNALS are deep:
y sollcitouS about the future of the Democratic
party. The same newspapers that have re
peatedly announced the demise of that lively
and healthy organization now think it shame
to let the old party be swallowed up in the
Liberia movement, and mildly suggest that it
would be much better for the Democracy to
LAY down quietly let Grant be re elected,
and then get UP refreshed, four years hence,
for genuine Democratic effort" This ar
raugement would no doubt be very agreeable
to the Radicals, but the Democracy cant see
it" They have wisely come to the conclusion
that the best way to refresh themselves aud the
country is BY first putting 40 honest, competent
person in Grants place, after which they are
perfectly willing to let the future take care
of itself It usually happens IN this world that
the men who make good use of the present are
properly rewarded u the future, au1 what is
true of men is equally so Of parties. -Bali-

Col. MoSBY gloriGes the conduct of General
Grant at Appomattox. and refers to the credit.
able fact that he did not have a triumphal pro-
ceSsiuD through Richmond at the close Of the
war All our generals acted befttngly in, that
regard, we believe, and no one questions that
General Grant was true to his military training
aud soldiery instincts at that time. 1t would
have been very improper for any American SOL
der to have so paraded a triumph over his
conn tr, when all were too glad TO reach
the end of strife. But Colonel Mosby seems
to ignore the difference between the politician
and the soldier. and the change which neces
sariy has come over General Grant since he has
been manipulated by mere party men for the
perpetuation of their own power. With the
change of the radical policy Of reconstruction
the President seems to have changed, or be
has so gwen way to others who are illiberal aud
proserptiue, that the results are no longer what
they would have been had he continued to act
upon bis original impulses whereas, on the
other hand, MIR. Greeley has shown the spirit
throughout, and still holds and stands pledged
to it for the future, which Gen. Grant exhibit
ed at first, and has since unfortunately fallen
away from. Colonel Mosby however, is not
likely to bring much strength to General Grant
in Virginia Even that great soldier Long
street, when he made the mistake OF ,betakipg
himself to radical associations corrupt as they
afterwards proved in Louisiana, only isolated
himself from his old friends, aud the more Oh
scure partisan leader can scarcely expect any
other fate than to be left ''aIone'in his glory.
1t is hardly worth while to talk to the people
about what Individual men we're upon issues
that are past, when 1t s ou'y considered of
consequence to know what they are now with
reference to matters that are vital and pressing
involving pacifea,on, and true and grati6ed
