Narrow Escape from Injury on the c., r l. &
P.RK.

The express train which left here on
Monday night for Chicago, was very long
one, having on three extra sleepers filed
with excursionists to the Chicago EXPOSE
ton, many Of them from this city. Just
before the train reached Mineral it over
took freight train which was TO run off on
a side track so as to allow the passenger
train 10 pass. This the freight did, but
it being a very long one, the three last cars
did not get entirely off the main tract, and
so the express train came laundering along
and struck them The engineer and fire
man did not see the danger until too late,
and then put on the air brakes and jumped
from the train. The three freight cars
we're smashed to pieces the engine of the
passenger train was considerably damaged,
and baggage car smashed in. The sew
eral hundred passengers slumbered on as
peacefully as before, in blissful ignorance
of what had happened; not knowing that
had it not been for the air brakes an ac-
cident that would have resulted in many
persons being killed might have occurred.

In youth and during convalescence, when
copious materials are needed for nutrition
and growth, the gastric secretion seems to
be abundant. Hence vigorous appetite
and easy digestion. In middle life and old
age, these secretions become enfeebled,
and hence the advantage of PLANTATION
BUTERs, which by supplying the power
enables the stomach to digest, and main
tains healthy action of the system.

About Little Blondes and Servant Girls.

Whenever our contemporary, the Little
Blonde, Of the Union, is deserted by his
servant girl, he makes furious onslaught
upon servant girls generally, and if THE
ARGUS repels his abuse he says the ques-
ton comes .up-achOse. servant girl is the
old chap so much interested imp" No
body's in particular, but everybody's in
general THE ARGUS prides itself some
what upon being interested" in, and in
defending all people who are oppressed or
abused or traduced. 1t is quite common
with snobbish people to abuse and ridicule
servant girls, and the people who do it evil
IDENTITY think it mark of high breeding
They are mistaken. 1t is mark cf low
breeding. tits the snobs and the shoddyites
who are generally unkind and incousider-
ate towards that humble but exceedingly
useful class. 1t is the high intelli-
gent and refined who are always kind and
considerable Of their help. The Little
Blonde may think it commends him to
good society to ridicule the servant girls,
and offer his congratulations upon the fact
that hard times will put servant girls
down where they belong and show the DIFF
ference between mistress and maid, while
it only shows the difference between
snob and honest, well-meaning, useful and
deserving people. 1t is fair illustration,
however, it the honesty of Republican pre-
tensionsin favor Of a considerable treatment
OF the rights of women, made in their ma
tional platform, only to be falsifed in
practice.

He who would be free must strike the
blow; if we would have Congress pass
Charles Summers supplementary civil rights
bill VIC must make ourselves felt, We must
make politicians believe we are in earnest,
that VIC regard this matter as paramount to
the other questions dividing parties. Let
the colored people be heard in their National
Convention to assemble in Washington on
the 9th Of DECEMBER. The majestic form of
Charles Sumner, our devoted friend, will be
seen arising from his seat on the first day of
the assembling of Congress demanding our
civil rights. The President as he is pledged
to do, will have recommended the same in
bis message; nevertheless Congress will not
act, certainly not to the extent it may and
should, unless its members are made to feel
we are literally earnest, let US assure them
that we mean work, let US hestir ourselves.
We are attached to our party, its members
must learn to realize our identity with it.

Il. D. Beckley. after seeking and ENJOYING
the shelter and utmost hospitall,ies of our
roof, from darkness and storm and prejudice
that Would have kept him unhoused from
every other white home in Lott-burgh, drew
the audience we had gathered for him away
from the warm comfortable school-house, to
the chilly outdoor whisky grocery corner.
White republicans joined US in the entrea
ty, when he positively refused to speak In
the school-house, then to speak on the high.
way at a safe distance from the whiskey, so
his speech could not be lure to its band.
But in vain, and for the first precedent of
a Republican meeting held in that disreputa-
BILE post Of hostility to decent order in Lofts
burgh. Mr.. Beckley is responsible. His
speech and deneanor fell to the Level of The
surroundings.

Chinese Superstilt ns.

One very extraordinary way in which Chi
nese superstition shows itself is ia connection
with the system of ancestral wOr,liip, Ia
which they attach extreme IMPORTANCE They
seem TO believe that the unseen world is, ia
a certain way, a counterpart Of thing. visible,
and that the spirits Of the departed stand in
need Of the same support al they did when
liying-food, clothes, and houses reduced,
however, TO a state suitable for the Use Of the
invisible, which they seem to imagine i. to
be attained by the process Of burning! They
have a curious way Of carrying their super
stition into effect. Having 10 provide, not
on the day Of the funeral alone, but in perpe-
tuity, for the comforts Of the departed, they
take care that clothing, furniture, and money
shall cost them as little as possible. They
therefore manufacture limitations Of these
necessaries in paper, the paper money being
covered with tin or gilt foil and on some
occasions q paper house, ready furnished, Is
burned and passed entire into the unseen
world.
