IT may suit such as vainly seek the
quietus of Democracy to assert that
the party dates only from jackson and
has nothing in common with TIL. JEFF
fcrson and his compatriots. The gen.
cral impression, however, is that a child
must be some few years old before it
can acquire a nickname. The name
Democrat was tackled on the Jefferson
ians by their antagonists in desperate
effort to attach with it the odium of
the French Communists Of that day
Just as in our day there has been an at
tempt to fasten on us the soubriquet
Bourbon, drawn from the present sit
uation in the same country of France.

a DWELLING HOUSE SINKS INTO Coa1,
MINE-:Iwo CHILDREN BURNED TO DEATH.
A terrible calamity occurred near Cleye-
land, Illinois. on Friday last. The
locality OF the accident was Bakers coal
mine. The house of miner, named
Robert Spargo. stood directly over an
old chamber Of the mine. On Friday
afternoon, the earth under the house
suddenly sunk, causing the dwelling to
drop into the cavity to depth of four
or i've feet. Mrs. Spargo and four
children were gathered about stove in
one of the rooms. The floor gave wnv
and the stove went into the cavity be.
low, and the mother and her children
we're precipitated upon it and the fire
which had fallen out OF it. Several men,
working not far distant, ran townrd tile
place, but before thoy reached the house
the heart-rending screams of Mrs
Spargo and the children, and the sm moke
which WAS pouring out of the house,
told them of the horrible situation the
family Was in. When they took Mrs.
Spargo and the children out, the specta.
clio they presented was 80 perfectly aw full
as to bs sickening. One child, a girl in
her fourth year, was burned to death.
Another, younger than tho deceased. was
burned 30 that she died the next day.
Mrs. Spargo and tho other two children
were burned in frightful manner,
though at last accounts all three were
living The clothes of all were burned
away. their heads were singed, and the
flesh on their faces limbs and bolies
blistered. hanging in some places in
bloody shreds.

seventy-four years of age, 80 that
she came to again; and, as winter
was coming on, and so much knit

keep on for twenty years OF so. The
doctor thinks if she amt disturbed
she is gone for good this time. Me
