RESPONSIBILITY.

That each and every person is re-
sponsible for something, of greater
or less extent, there is probably no
question. This fact should be firmly
impressed upon the mind of every
person who has to do with the lives
or welfare Of the travelling public.
Upon every railroad engineer, con.
ductor, or train man every steamship
or steamboat captain, subordinate
officer, or deck hand even the Jehu
who swings his coach.and-foul
around the village corner, there rest.
a responsibility, measured in extent
by the positions they occupy. Yet
how very few of either of the above
named, generally speaking, realize
the extent of the trust resting upor
them. By long usage, and frequent
contact with scenes of danger they
are liable to become hardened to
Them and thus much of the finer
sense is bluntsd. Of course there
are exceptions to this, but in the
general sense, there is too much of
the "dsvil-a-care" spirit among men.

MEN AS MEN.

In these days of corruption, when
newspapers are decrying men of po'
sltion as false, corrupt, and every
thing low and wicked, would it no,
be well to remember that our presi
dents, our senator's, our congressman
are but men-men who are liable te
err; men who may be tempted. We
are too apt to expect too much Of
public men to look upon them as
demi-gods-above all suspicion of
evil. "Put yourself in his place, %
would be an excellent thing for one
to do before passing too severe judg-
ment upon those who have fallen
While we have not the least particle
of sympathy with the spirit of cor
ruption so manifest in the land, we
say, judge men as men. Do not exalt
and laud them to the skies and then
when they fall flom an unnatural
sphere, talk as if their loss was IRE
trievable. In all ages of the worlds
history, men of high standing have
fallen-the world nevertheless moves
on Just the same. 1t will continue
to move on until the end of time re-

gloss and freshness of youth. Thin
hair is thickened, falling hair checked,
and badness often, though not always,
cured by its use. Nothing can restore
the hair where the follicles are de-
stroyed, or the glands atrophied and
decayed; but such as remain can be
saved by this application, and stimu-
lated into activity, so that a new
growth of hair is produced. Instead
of fouling the hair with a pasty sedi-
ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous.
Its occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling off, and
consequently prevent badness. The
restoration of vitality it gives to the
scalp arrests and prevents the forma-
ton of dandruff, which is often so >un-
clearly and offensive. Free from those
deleterious substances which make
some preparations dangerous and inju-
rious to the hair, the Vigor can only
benefit but not harm it. If wanted
merely for HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be found SO desirable.
Containing neither oil nor dye, it does
not soil white cambria, and yet lasts
long on the hair, giving it a rich, glossy
lustre, and grateful perfume.

CHERRY PICTORIAL will and does relieve and
cure the affecting disorders of the Throat and
Lungs beyond any other medicine. The most
dangerous affections of the Pulmonary Organs
yield to its power; and cases of Consumption,
cured by this preparation, are publicly known,
so remarkable as hardly to be believed, were
they not proven beyond dispute. As remedy,
it is adequate, on which the public may rely
for full protection. By curing Coughs, the
forerunners of more serious disease, it saves un-

vinces the most sceptical. Every family should
keep it on hand as protection against the early
and unperceived attack of Pulmonary Aztec

become incurable, and too often fatal, if neg
lected Tender lungs need this defence; and it
is unwise to be without it. As safeguard to
children, amid the distressing diseases which
beset the Throat and Chest of childhood, CHERRY
PICTORIAL is invaluable; for, by its timely use,
multitudes are rescued from premature graves,
and saved to the love and affection centred on
them. 1t acts speedily and surely against ordi-
nary colds, securing sound and health-restoring
sleep. No one will suffer troublesome Influ.

how easily they can be cured.
Originally the product of long, laborious, and
successful chemical investigation no cost or toll

memorable as the greatest it has ever effected.

THE ATLANTIC DISASTER.

One of the most terrible, and heart
rending disasters, it has been ours
to chronicle, is that of the steamship
Atlantic, which was wrecked on the
coast of Halifax on the lst inst. The
captain, for some unaccountable rea-
son, deviated from his course, and
installing the lights on shore, the
vessel was driven upon a rock
and destroyed. Of one thousand
persons on board, only two hundred
and fifty are known to have escaped.
The women who were asleep in their
berths at the time of the accident,
never reached the vessels deck, ana
hundreds persisted in an hour. Some
few women were successful in reach.
ing the deck, but only to be swept
away by the sea, which was running
very high. One woman following
the example of the men, dashed her.
self to the rigging, and froze to
death. The telegraph each day
announces a new chapter to the al.
ready fearful list of narrowing details.
At one time during the weary watch
before dawn, the fore boom broke,
and weeping around instantly crush
ed to death about two hundred
persons who were clinging to the
deck. Every'possible exertion was
made by the people on shore to rend-
er assistance, and through their
untiring efforts many were saved who
would not have been otherwise.
Efforts will doubtless be made to
find where the responsibility rests
for this fearful disaster, and we trust
that such efforts will be successful,
for there is a fearful responsibility
for some one to shoulder. With all
the precautionary measures taken by
the owners of the steamers to pre-
vent accident and preserve life, we
do not see how such thing could
have occurred unless there was lack
OF vigilance somewhere. Let the
investigation be thorough and impair
tial, and not terminate as does many
of like character, by shouldering the
responsibility upon an already much
abused providence.

SHOCKING DISASTER AT BURLINo.
TON.

The Gate City of Sunday morn
ing has the following about the
Burlington horror: At half past
O'Clock last evening a telegram was
received from Burlington announcing
that Mr.. T. n. Pond, of this city,
had been killed at that place by a
falling building. The startling intel
ligsnce spread rapidly all over the
city, and large numbers of citizens
called at the Gate City office and
telegraph offices to ascertain the par
ticulars. Very little could be learned,
however, until the arrival Of the
train, which brought the remains, at
IL o'clock last night. From Mr..
James s. Anderson, who was at
Burlington at the time of the dis aster,
and who accompanied the remains
to this place, we learn that the acci.
dent was occasioned by a violent
wind aud rain storm, which passed
over that city, yesterday afternoon.
The building was one that was erect.
ed by Mr.. Pond last summer, and
was used by him in his egg business
there. The wind came with such
force as to blow the building down.
There were in il at 1.-The time from
twenty to twenty-five persons. Mr..
Pond was the first one taken out
He had evidently been killed instant.
y. There were two or three wounds
about the face and neck, but the IA
tai one was in his breast, and was
caused by blow from a heavy tim
Der or stone. Up to the time the
train left, fifteen persons had been
taken out, FIVE of whom were dead,
and the others more or less injured.
From the ruins of small frame
house adjoining the large one, and
upon which it fell, the dead bodies
of . woman and two children were
taken-the woman holding a child
inf each arm. The accident caused
great excitement in Burlington.
