A oorEMPoRARY says the style in which
the reputation of Washington and other
historical men are being used up in
order to make political capital for Presi-
dent Grant is simply disgraceful. OF
course, as Washington and Jonathan
Trumbull we're far superior to Grant, in
both moral strength and intellectual &C
quirements, they have to be dragged
down very low in order to effect a COM
parison between them and the great

poison in pos,nxe s,amps

/
From tho Nashua IN. " telegraph
A few days since DIR. l.. Chesley
of Nottingham, well-known and prom
inent physician in Rockingham county.
received a letter from an unknown
source containing two postage stamps
with an urgent request that he should
send by return mail letter to q given
address in New York city. The doctor
complied with the request, using. one OF
the stamps just received in mailing the
return letter, wetting the stamp by lay
ing it on his tongue. He was instantly
seized with mysterious fainting sensa-
ton accompanied with severe convulsive
action of the heart, difficulty of breath
ing, and prickling numbness OF his
whole system. He said to his wife,
standing by, II am poisoned by
that stamp" She says, 1t cannot
be-" and taking the remaining
stamp applied small portion Of it to
her. tongue, when she was seized with
precisely the same, though much more
severe symptoms, which have Frustrated
her for several days. Not more than
one-twelfth part of the adhesive side of
the stamp was applied to Mrs. Chesley's
tongue. At the time Of using the stamp
DR.. Chesley had in his mouth a quid OF
tobacco, which he thinks was an anti
dote to the poison the stamp no doubt
contained. Your informant has the
above directly from the doctor, who is
very intelligent, straightforward man,
who has his own theory for accounting
for this design upon his life, as he thinks
it evidently was. He has had some ex-
perience in the South in past years, and
speaks of the Ku-Klux in connection
with this mystery. The remaining post
age stamp has been sent to Boston for
analysis, and the doctor is determined
to know more of case of which he now
knows so little.

IT has been proposed in the Legisla-
lures respectively Of New York and Wis
consin to make election day legal hol-
iday, the great argument in favor of the
proposed change being that thus time
woald be given the respectable portion
of the community to attend the polls and
participate actively on the side of purer
politics. While it is desirable at once
to have more holidays and purer politics,
it may be doubted whether the proposed
legislation would secure either.

DREADFUL RAILROAD ACCT.
DENT.
A wsmaa Ra. over and Killed.

Early this morning, as the upward
bound passenger train was ap-
preaching the Virginia City depot,
Mrs. A. Gilman, the wife of a miner
who resides on the west side of F
street, at the junction Of the Savage
switch, attempted to cross the track
about twenty feet ahead Of the engine,
when, according to some accounts, she
slipped and fell on the track. Others
say that she appeared to be completely
paralyzed with fright, and unable to
move until the engine struck her,
knocking her down and passing over
her, terribly crushing the right leg be-
low the knee, and the left foot In front
of the ankle ; also f~racturing the skull
and otherwise badly injuring her.
She vas Immediately taken Into her
residence, a few yards from the spot,
and DR.. +. J. White summoned, who
found 1t necessary, assisted by Doctors
Conn and Heath, to amputate the
right leg below the knee and the left
foot ut the instep. which operation was
skillfully performed alter placing the
poor sufferer under the Influence OF
chloroform. The woman, 1t appears,
was returning from n visit to a neigh
Dor OH the opposite side Of the street,
and, strange as 1t may seem, must
have seen and knew that the train was
close upon her when she made the
attempt. No blame whatever Is at
tached to the engineer or conductor,
as the bell was ringing and the train
moving at a very moderate rate of
speed at the time. Mrs. Gilman has
three c%hildren-a boy seventeen or
eighteen years old, who Is confined to
a bed Of sickness. n girl eight or nine
years old, and another son In a tele-
graph office in San Francisco. She
came from Oakland, CAL, about three
months ago. Her husband, who was
absent at Vallejo, was expected home
to-day. The cries of the poor woman
ut the time Of the fearful accident are
described AS heart-rending. After
being taken to her bed, she could only
beg for something to relieve the dread
full pain, and expressed her wish to
die. Even after the amputation
she desired that death should relieve
her from further suffering. The shock
to her system was too great
for endurance, and after lying 4 few
hours longer in agony Of both body
and mind, death kindly came 10 her
relief about l o'clock +. N. She was
about 90 years Of age, q kind, noble
hearted. we'll beloved wife and mother,
highly esteemed by all who knew her.
Possessed Of an excellent education,
she was also quite talented as IN art
ist In painting, and came from a good
family. She was sister to j. II. Red
stone, attorney, at Oakland, California.

The Arrests.

At moment Of profound quiet, aud
whilst an ovcr.taxcd aad oiSpirited peo
pie are patiently combating the moral
fates with the weapon ofhope,and OF faith
in the future, and essayirs to rise. with
cheerful elasticity from the shackles
which bind, and the obstacles that
o5trude as q barrier to honest success
in the avenues Of trade, and which con
scquen,ly irnpovrrish and blight as doth
the mildew, the fiat goes forth that
arrests are 10 be made, and that tie
terror, uncertainty, confusion, and inter.
rup,ion which devastated some Of the up
per counties, mast slso embarrass and
distress NewGsrry.
In our sad financial condition, with an
unpropitiouS season ; no work done in
the fields ; the labor system more or less
uncertain; and heavy taxes and other liza
bilities to meet, the result Of tais :ncst
unfortunate state Of affairs is obrious-it
is ruin. And whyy Is it the better
to insure Republican elvc,ions,or is it for
emolument: Ii foS either Of these, then
from the heart we say carry the elections
and take the gold, but in the name Of
the humsnities let our people have peace,
that they ,naypursue the paths Of peace;
till their fields; engage in trade; meet the
demands of State; provide for helpless
age and Infancy; ctucatc the youth, and
bind up the broken fortunes.
What can we say, or what can VIC do,
to arrest the evils that betide? Words
are as idle as Canu;cs attempt to stay
the waves. We are in an extremity. And
there is no silver liu;ns to the clouds
about US. Action, other than that Of true
moral courage, is equally futile as mur-
muring words. We urge upon our per-
secuted people, therefore, the heroism
Of patience, endurance, forbesrance, sym.

an hour like this.
