about two miles west Of Louisa Court

Eli O'Clock at Louisa Courthouse; but the
conductor Of the coaftraiD, suppo sing that
there would be no express train to arrive at
Richmond on Sunday morning, left the
Courthouse aud met the express train two
miles west Of the station, as stated q boye.
Four OF the coal-cars were smashed 50

| baggage aud second-class cars on the ex-
press train were also considerably damaged.
The two engines were badly broke II and in-
iured, and Conductor w. j. WASH and Mr.
John Tilghman. baggage master, were both
considerably jarred, scratched, and bruised
by the meeting, as weilas Express Messenger
Bragg, who was in the second-class car at
the time of the collision. and received some
blows about the hip. A negro pa ssengcr
was also injured somewhat about the mouth.

however, were injured. The ensin Ger CT

approaching when the two were almost TO-

tirely, but with great GOODNESS he cut Off
steam and put on the air-brakcs in time TO
check the speed of the train considerably.
1t IS reported by q passenger who was

checked by the air-brakes that it was pre-
vented from running upon and completely
crushing the frst-class car, in front St it. ~

steam and applying the brakes he, together
with the fireman, jumped of, and were not

A WONDERFUL STORY.

The Dude Qndia) Excelsior prints
the story following: every recent.
Iy native, having ornaments on
her person worth about 400 or 500
rupees, accompanied by her daugh>
ter, who also wore ornaments worth
about two hundred rupees alighted
from the train at Hurdui, and hired
an ekka to carry them to their viii
lage. = On arriving at a lonely spot
about six miles from Hurdui, there
being no villages within miles, the
ekka drew up at the side of the road
and the driver suddenly demanded
the whole Of the jewelry to be given
up to him. On being refused, he
tied the woman and the girl up to
the ekka, and cooIly Invested them
Of every article. He then drew a
knife, with the intention Of murder
ing them, but in the excitement Of
the moment let the weapon fall into
ditch about three feet deep. He
jumped down, and was just in the
act Of clutching at the knife, when
black snake darted from a hole and
fixed its fangs in his hand; knowing
the snake to be an extremely veno-
nous one, be fell down almost sense
less with terror and died in a few
minutes. The woman and girl re-
NAMED there about two hours, when,
seeing some villagers at distance,
they screamed for assistance, and on
being released gave information At
the nearest thannah. The police
came to the spot and found the
corpse Of the ekks driver and the
snake still there. The corpse was
taken to the nearest station for an
inquest to be held I; the snake was
blocked in its hole with q large stone,
as the police had not the courage TO
| kill it. The ornaments were found
| tied up in the kummerbund Of the
corpse. and were restored to their
owners. The foregoing facts were
related to us by one whose yeracity
we have no reason to doubt"

AMERICAN BOYS IN GERMAN
SCHOOLS.

The Christian Observer says: A
New York gentleman with whom we
are personally acquainted, who has
been several years abroad with his
family, sends us his experience in
regard to German schools. He
writes:
SPA, BELGIUM, July 80, 1878.
Messvs. Editors 1t gave US much
pleasure here to read in the Observer
the remarks about German schools.
We lived 10 Dresden for over six
months, aud our experience of the
schools was the same as your cores
pondent's, only matters were worse
with us than he writes. The school
our boys attended was recommended
by the banker 1t was one of the
largest and most popular in the place.
There the German boys swore and
fought, and woe to the boy who would
not fight, or who was deficient in
strength The under-masters kept
sticks, with which they hit the Ger
man boys ON the head--a thing Of
daily occurrence. The big boys, in
their turn, beat the smaller ones.-
One small fellow, an American, "
ing sick in bed, was struck by big
German in the face, so as to make
the blood flow. The Principal of
the school took 40 notice Of it, al
though he had knowledge Of it, until
the mother of the boy was also in
formed of it by me. The food was
insufficient in quantity, and very
poorin quality. 1t consisted of black
bread, which, however, is common
in respectable families, tough beef,
half.cooked ham, and sausages al
scays. The sleeping rooms were
crowded with as many beds as they
could contain. In winter there were
double sashes, and at night the doors
Of the bedrooms were shut, and the
opening over the doors closed No
air could get in trout, for they never
have any fireplaces, ARRAYS stoves. =
To make things worse, some Of the
boys smoked in bed, while the teach-
ers were gone to the theatre. Here
the boys painted for breath, rolled up
in something like feather bed, no
sheets or blankets, except they were
especially provided for Other con
ditions Of things were simply bar
barous, quite destructive of all refne-
ment or good manners, for at the
table both teachers and scholars
would comb their hair and SHE hunks
Of meat and sausage at each other.
In the streets Of Dresden women are
seen yoked together with dogs. haul
| ling loads Of coal; young and well
looking girls carrying on their backs
large trunks and bundles; and other
things in the habits of the people
must have an unfortunate influence
on young Americans. The entire
absence Of morality in a large part of
the people, especially as to swearing
and lying, makes it unsafe for boys
to be educated in Europe.

WHY SHE PLANTED ROSES.

A blacksmith had in his possess
sion, but under mortgage, a house
and piece Of land. He was once
fond Of the social glass, but was hap
PLY induced to join the temperance
society. About three months after
he observed his wife one morning
buisIy employed planting rose bushes
and fruit trees,

"Indeed, replied the smiling wife,

gave up drink. Ihad often thought
Of ii before, but | was persuaded
that should I do ii, some strangers
would pluck the roses and eat the
fruit, but now, with Gods help and
blessing, this cot will be ours, and
we and our children may expect to
enjoy the produce. We shall pluck
the rose and eat the fruit.

But for the hindrances to wise and
wholesome government which arose
out of an unwise system of recon.
struction, few southern men, or wo-
men either, would wish the issues
settled by the war reversed, or ever
reopened with a possibility of re-
versal. It is scarcely a forced figure
Of speech to say that in slavery the
elements of an impending conflict
was ever in the foreground. The
manner Of settling the question may
have been imprudent, and ever
harsh; but when the peculiar insti
tuition ceased the way was opened
though not without some clearing
away of rubbish, for higher civil
cation and a larger prosperity thar
was possible while it lasted. Men
of sense accept the inevitable, and,
as far as possible, make helpers Of
circumstances as they arise. II
they place themselves ct war with
the spirit of the age then defeat
most certainly awaits them. --Sa>

PARTICIPATION On MnNNoNIrIns

/
On Friday last delegatio,epf
nearly hundred Mennonities, from
the Crimea, arrived in this city on
their way to the West to make ar
rangements for an extensive emigra-
ton to this country They are from
the villages of Friendensteig (''Stone
Of Peace'r and Bruderfeld (Brothers'
Fieldy' in the Crimea, five miles
from the shore Of the Black Sea-
| 1t is now five weeks since they left
Russia, journeyiug to this country by
way of Feodnessa, Odessa, Berlin,
and Hamburg. They are essentially
German, speaking the language of
Fatherland. They emigrated long
time ago to Russia on account Of
their religious principles, one of
which is that they cannot perform
any military service. Representa-
tives of this sect are found in the
| Netherlands, Germany, Russia,
Switzerland, France and America.
The whole valley OF the Vistua 10
scattered oveS with them. In the
Crimca they have their own church
schools, which their children are
obliged to attend from the age Of six
to fourteen years They Rave also
their higher schools, up to the grade
necessary for teachers of the chill
dren's schools. They are nearly all
agriculturists. In settling on the
steppes Of Southern Russia every
colony planted forest and fruit trees,
and now every house is surrounded
by an orchard, with piece of woods
in the vicinity.
BY a Russian edict of the 4th Of
June, 1871, they, with all the colo
MES in Russia, were allowed to
choose between emigration, or, mol
having emigrated ut the end Of ten
years, TO become subject to all the
laws and obligations Of ordinary
Russian subjects. The Canadian
Government held out inducements to
the Menonnities to settle in Canada,
promising them complete immunity
from military service; but the peo-
pie refused, saying that If they were
obliged to emigrate they would pre-
fer to come to the United States. -
This advance guard is principally
composed Of young men, with their
families. They held religious servi-
COS ut Castle Garden on Sunday last.
The Rev. Mr.. Neumann, Of Brook
lyn, with whom they had previously
been in correspondence, and who has
taken warm interest in them,
preached.
A deputation representing forty
thousand Mennonities has been in
America some time, searching for
suitable lands on which to establish
a colony. They have visited Color
ado, Minnesota, Texas, and Illinois,
They have not yet determined where
to locate the colony, but will decide
upon their return to Russia, and
they hope to send out company Of
least five thousand Mennonities in
May next.

Mr.. Davis's State Speech; The
remarks of Ex>president Davis du-
ring his attendance at the Historical
Convention do not seem to find an
answering echo among the Southern
journals. The Richmond Inquirer
comments upon the speech as follows
Eve are compelled to express our
regret that Mr.. Davis continues to
give utterance to such expressions.
"The people of Virginia were and
are as true to the South as Mr.. Davis
ever was or can be, but they are
content to abide in the Federal
Union and desire only that its laws
should be enacted with due regard
to the rights and interests of every
section, and fairly and justly admins
istered. Indeed, we believe the
people of the entire South are sick
of this twaddle that might be be-
coming in a garrulous old woman
The war is happily over, if in the es,
timation Of some unfortunately
ended. Let us nowhave peace"
The New Orlerns Times says, in
his late speech he exhibited no for
ensic tact, no political strategy, no
diplomatic skill. To a weak wail of
disappointment, he added rebuke
to the men of the South for their
quiet submission to the hard rules of
reconstruction, and in the name of
the unreconstructed woman of to-day
and the children of the coming gen.
Grafton, he suggested the possibility
of future retaliation, end a recovery
of all that had been lost. 1t is a
weakness TO pirate Of the possibility
of having continued the war to
still more bitter or more satisfactory
termination.
