THE epidemic of railroad and steamboat
o disasters set in last week and the loss of life
was appalling. Sixty persons were killed
Thursday morning by the blowing up of the
Mississippi steamer Oceanus. A North River
tug-boat was blown up opposite New York
the same day and six persons lost their lives.
Wednesday there was an accident on the
Midland IN. ~ Railroad, caused by the CIV
ing away of bridge, by which several were
killed and a dozen crippled. Friday, on
Western railroad, there was a convention of
three engines and trains on the same track,
by which two engines were smashed and a
third exploded. Not many persons were in
jured, simply because there were no crowds in
the cars or standing about the place of the
collision. All of these accidents were the re-
suits of carelessness on the part of employees,
or the cupidity of owners in using rotten boil
ers and running over rickety bridges Shall
this sckening story of murder and mutilation

If Mr.. RICHARD BOYLE DAvEY, who has
paper in defence of Lucrezia Borgia in the
May GALAXY is highland certainly the au-
thorities are in his favor,-that lady has been
the object of the cruelest ISLANDERS for more
than three centuries. During all that time
Lucrezia's name has been the synonym of
female monstrosity, who married her own
brothers and took the serenest pleasure in
strangling and poisoning her husbands.
Hence when female monster like Mrs. Sher-
man of Connecticut comes to the front
charged with having poisoned two or three
husbands and halfdozen children, or Mrs.
Wharton, the reputed poisoncr of General
Ketchum, newspapers are wont to do their
worst by branding them as the 'fmodern Luz
crezia Borgias." Mr.. Davey tells us that this
is all wrong Two Neapolitan poets who
didn't like Lucrezia's father, Alexander w.,
and Victor Hugo's drama, Lucrece Borgia,
whose terrible heroine received the name
from mere caprice, have been the means of
handing down the name of this illustrious
lady blackened by the imputation of the
foulest crimes. OF late the veil of this in
fanny has. been raised from the memory of
Lucrezia Borgia and she is shown to be one
who is Justly deserving of gratitude and es-
TEEN for the highest virtues and rarest cul-
ture of that age.

pens that one Of the proprietors Of the

would pass within from three to five

A large part OF the business which now

Concerning Temperate and Intem.
peHate Drinking.

VIVA t4l uVuiAA VttSuh1llSS1l
A Mechanicville subscriber inquiries Il
total abstinence from all intoxicating
drinks Is true Temperament We answer
that temperance q moderation In regard
TO the indulgence Of the natural appetites
and passions. There Is, beyond question,
o natural craving In the human race for
alcoholic stimulants, Indulgence, If not
carefully watched and restrained, Is like.
" TO lead to excessive and immoderate
use. 1t Is not true, however, that every
moderate drinker Is in great danger Of
becoming a drupkard; nor Is II established
beyond contradiction that to educate
children TO total abstinence Is the best
safeguard against intemperance, It Is
true that II all men abstain there will be
no drunkenness. But Il Il Is equally true
that the craving for stlmulants becomes
stronger as men advance In years, then
the plan Of abstinence, which lisa mega.
ton, and establishes no confirmed taste,
may not be the wisest. A habit OF temper.
ance, II wisely directed and firmly rooted,
we believe TO DO the best barrier against
the excessive indulgence In strong alcO.
holic mixtures. II, when man feels a
craving for slight stimulant, he natural.
~ turns to his accustomed lager.beer or
light sour wine, for which he has an es.
tablished taste, neither Of which, under
ordinary circumstances, could be drunk to
intoxication, he will not, In our Judgment,
be as likely 10 drink TO intoxicatlon as Ii
he had no such acquired and fixed habit.
This, however, Is q question about which
the friends Of temperance differ, and the
total abstinence side argue in their own
favor with an acrimonious zeal we think
to be very Incorporate.
One thing we desire to say Just here,
as warning 10 all our readers. More
drunkards are made by the practice OF
conviyial drinking during business hours
than in any other way. The use Of any
liquid drinking ice.water even) during
working hours Is carried often to great
excess, and the momenta person begins 10
drink while at his work he will drink to
excess. Even thus, 1t is better 10 drink
light stimulants, If any; but the wisest
habit Is to drink only at meal times. An
intoierable thirst Is born Of free indul.
gence in any liquid. Water even Is bad
during business or working hours. But
the moment q man Is fixed in his nine
o'clock or eleven o'clock dram OF fiery
spirits, and must have it, he is on the
open road to excess.
