Incidents of the Earthquake.

A gentleman who left the morning of the disaster gave correspondent de- tails of the California earthquake, which have probably not been before narrated, and which from their truth seem heart rendering inthe extreme. His house, or rather the house at which he had been staying, he said was crumbled in an instant into confused mass of broken furniture, bricks, pieces of board. &c., and it was by the greatest miracle that he escaped as he did, totally unhurt. In the house were two inmates beside himself, farmer and his daughter. Af- ter the shock the latter he saw laying insensiole upon the ground at distance of some twenty feet from the site of the bruised, and blood was pouring from 6 wound on his forehead, where a falling brick had struck him. Wiping it away, the two began rubbing the hands and chafng the temple of the senseless girl, but 1t was all to no purpose. She had evidently been killed instantly, having falling on her back. The groans of the unhappy parent as the realization burst upon him, and he bent over and rained tears upon the fair upturned face of his child, were agonizing even to hear. At that instant, as he says, number of men rushed by. Seeing the two stand ing there they dragged them with them, listening to no remonstrances, and say ing that they needed all the help they could get to rescue lot of miners who were in the bowels of the earth, at the time of the disaster. The rest I give in his own words, as closely as can recol- lect them. "I could think of nothing, he said. "The noise and rumbling and confusion seemed to perfectly bewildel me. We hurried along, leaving the poot dead girl where she lay, and the father with us, moving mechanically, as if he was not in his right mind. We soor reached the mine, and to our relief found that the entrance at least had not been closed by the convulsion. Several o1 the party groped their way down, anc after waiting time-it seemed an age, it could have been but few moments they reappeared, half-dozen of the miners with them. These last had beer struck motionless by the terrible rum blings, which were they were must hav' been heightened thousand fold.

WINNING GOLDEN OPINIONS. Perhaps no man living has won more golden opin- ions than Dr. Walker, as the enormous and widely increasing sale of his CALIFoR- MA VINEGAR BITTERs attests. We never look into one of our exchanges, but there isa panegyric of the Bitters staring us in the face. Our readers will say there must be a reason for all this praise. They are right. The efficacy of this celebrated medicine is established by evidence which it is impossible to doubt. Among the thousands who have borne testimony to its excellence, there is not one dissentient voice. In very many phases of inorganic diseases it seems to be unfailing. All dis eases arising from vitiated state of the blood are surely eradioated by it. It is an effectual remedy for pulmonary com plaints, bilious, remittent and intermittent levers, rheumatism and dyspepsia. It purges the body of all unhealthy humors, gives tone to the system, and where the vital powers are enfeebled, restores their functions to vigorous and healthy action. All this it does the more efectually be- cause it's operation is not interfered with by the presence of alcohol. The VINEGAR B1TTERs is perfectly free from any such hurtful ingredient. We have always be- lieved that plants contain the true reme- dies for disease, and aLl the remedies necessary. Dr. Walker is on the line of real progress, and we hope that he will not rest on hls present discoveries.-Con'.

Reading, in that State, duringwhich he
spoke of the prospects In Pennsylvania,
saying that reports from all sections were
most cheering, and adding:

hide in terror before election day, and the
Uossted majority of 1900 to $4,000 will
vanish. ICbeers.l So far, in every State
that has voted, the Grant loss compared
with previous equally full votes, has been
mos. significant of disaster to them. They

Grant candidate, although four years ago
ifey elecled their Governor by 4,70O. They
shout themselves hosrse over Vermont,
where they have lost 5000 on any previous
vote with so large poll. They are wild
with Joy over Maine, where they have lost
20 per cent of the Grant majority, and
where the percentage Of Republican loss, if
spilled to Pennsylvania, would beat them

THE Grant men appear to have q great
fondness for old secessionists. For instance
they nominated Gen. Dix for Governor
of New York, and somebody has been
cruel enough to dig up sentiment be ut
tered in 1864, as follows;
"If the Southern States, after calm de-
liberation, and after carefully considering
all the consequences, had decided, with the
consent of the others, and with full re-
cOgnition Of their responsibility 10 the
Union, to withdraw peaeeably from it,
there are many of us loho tUouId hare pre-
ferred separation TO ciriL acdr."
The same men also nominated Lyman
Tremain for Congressman from the State
at Large, and here is what be said during
the progress of the late war:
"Traitorous though it may be, 1 stand
here to oppose the policy Of war with the
South, now, hereafter, and forever. If after
all negotiations we find we have reached
that point we of the North can no longer
say to our brethren OF the South, nor the
South to the North, in the language of
Ruth to n omi, whittier thou goest viii
go, and where thou lodgest will lodge
thy people shall be my people, and Thy God
my God;' if, repeat, We have reached
that point in our history, even then would
say, Spare the blood ofmy brethren; let us
part in peace; pedcea6ly diSsOlUe this con.
federdcy:' and no part Of the respOnsib lity
shall rest on us"

COL. FisK's FARMER.

A correspondent of the Post tells this
pleasant story: Col. Fisk had often noticed
in Twenty-third street, a little crippled
newsboy, and one day he spoke to him in
his bluff, off-hand manner:
81 say, boy, how would you Ike TO go in
TO business with me?"
The boy looked perplexed, and eyed the
Colonel curiously.
81 think we might strike up bargain.
You come to the Opera House at IL ih.s
morning. I've got plan for you; now he
on time"
At II O'Clock the boy was there, anxious
to know what the Colonel wanted.
"Hallo, boy; you're goodone. Now see
here; do you know good place for q pa
per sland?"
ayes, sir, tip top"
"Where Is it?'
"DOwn here at the corner.n
Chow much will stand cost?p
slots Of money; much as fifty or hun
dred dollars"
"You don't say So why that's fortune.
Do you think there's money to te made
there?"
"Yes, l do. It's first rate place."
"Well, I'll get carpenter to make the
stano, ana Ill STOCK 1t, then you shall take
care Of it. and we'll be partners; you and l
will go into the paper business"
Col. Fisk then arranged with the boy
what part of the profits he should receive,
told him when the stand should be ready,
and sent hin. on his way rejoicing. The
plan was very successful. Trade was good,
and every week the boy carried bis share
OF the money to his partner. Seeing the
boys determination, Col. Fisk quietly put
the money aside, and one day gave 1t all 10
him, releasing him from his contract to pay
any part of the money to himself. When
Col. Fisk died there was nowhere SINGER
er mourner than this little newsboy.

Of the Valley desire to trade with Nash

to them by the merchants and pechanics
Of Nashville, while on the other hand,
Louisville and Evansville have their agents
