Plain Sneaking.

Senator Brownlow has a habit of plain
speech, which at times has been service
able to his country, and we are not sure
that his recent reply to the invitation to
attend the Congressional Convention at st.
Louis will not serve a good purpose. 1t
certainly can do no harm to remind the
gentlemen who are seeking to have q
grand demonstration in behalf of sectional
interests, that the last series of such convo-
cations led directly to civil war, and were
intended as a cloak for reasonable mach
nations. We do not suppose the st. Louis
Convention has any purpose other than the
one protested, "of obtaining such national
legislation as will insure the improvement
of the present, and the opening of new,
water lines of transportation to the sea-
board" Without entering now upon the
discussion of the question, it seems plain
that to agitate it in the manner PROPOSED
is an attempt to coerce the action of Con-
gress and the judgment of the country,
which will not be likely to meet with pub
lie approval even in the section which has
most sympathy, naturally, with the move
ment. With the devastation of civil war
not yet decade behind us, it is not prob>
able that any portion of the people will do
anything to renew the perils always latent
in the threats of sections.-Ne1O York

Lord LYttOn,S Wnmen.

Lord Lytton,, with all his gifts, did not
possess that of drawing women. 1t is rare
among men-almost, if not quite, as rare
as the faculty of representing men is among
women, though the failure in the one case
is very much the less remarked upon, and
less noticeable, indeed, from the fact that
women have but lately come to occupy
leading places in works of fiction. A
beautiful and sweet abstraction of woman
kind with hair, eyes, throat, &C., nicely
put in with smiles and tears handy, and
a few pretty speeches, is all that is really
necessary for a heroine of the good old
fashioned type. Lord Lytton has two of
these types, the heroic and the gentle, as
indeed, Sir Walter Scott also had, and
most novelists of eminence keep within
these safe s.-Bldck1UoOd'S Magazine.

THE DIXON BRIDGE DISASTER.
Additional Details of the Horrible Acct.
dent


Fuller telegraphic advices from Dixon
explain the manner of the bridge disaster
given in the last issue of the Chronicle.
The right of baptism was being admins
tered to number of recent converts to
one OF the Baptist churches there, at a
point in Rock river, Just below the Truss
dali iron bridge. About two hundred per-
sons, including many ladies and q number
of children, gathered on the bridge to wit
ness the ceremony, when suddenly, with
out warning, the bridge gave way, precip-
itating its freight into the stream below.
The bridge was constructed of iron, of
the Rusdell pattern, and had five spans
elvated about twenty feet above the water,
which at this point is from fifteen to twen-
ty feet deep. The three middle spans are
still standing, but in such condition that
1t is thought they will fall when the wreck
at the end of the spans is cleared away.
Workmen are busy tonight putting in
place derricks with which to raise the fall
en- spans, and are making arrangements to
secure the bodies beneath. 1t is now stated
that there were nearly three hundred peo-
pie on the bridge at the time of the acct
dent, and more succeeded in escaping than
was at first feared. At the time of the ac-
cident most of the people were gathered at
either end of the structure, although a
large number were near the center. Some
of the latter remained where they were
when the crash came, and were afterward
taken off by the boats. Several men
jumped from their precarious resting-place
into the river and swan to the shore. One
little fellow about thirteen years old was
caught by both feet on the iron rigging of
one of the fallen spans, and had one of his
legs broken. He managed by sheer
strength to pull one of his boots off, tear
ing the sole off in the process; then coolly
taking out his knife, ripped the other boot
from the foot of the wounded, and, Grip
pied as he was. swan ashore. Two little
girls, sisters, were standing side by side,
and they both went down together. AS
they reached the water, the eldest caught
the other by the dress with one hand, and
with the other chung to portion of the
iron work, and chung fast to it up to her
neck in icy water, until they We're both
taken off by a boat.

New York City Politics.

1t is rumored that a combination has
been made in the Board of Aldermen to
defeat all nominations made by Mayor
Havemeyer unsatisfactory to them, three
Apollo Hall being the parties. 1t is also
asserted that no provision having been
made in the new charter for the retention
of Mayor Hayemeyer, as in the case of
heads of department, he will go out of
office with the expiration of the old char
ter. If the rumor is we'll founded, Alder
man Vance, representative of the custom
house interest, would be Mayor until the
next election provided by the new charter,

Under the benign rule of the British,
criminals in India are no longer allowed
10 he tortured in order to exact a con-
fession. The Indian police, however,
have many ingenious ways OF forcing
their nrisoneFs TO confess, without actual
torture. One method applied to opium
eaters is perfeetly simple and soelahle.
The policeman sits down opposite his
prisoner, and plsyfully keeps an opium
ball rolling about the palm OF ms hand.
or fcourse the prisoner suffers like Tan
talus himself, and the consequence IS
that the policeman very soon gets his
story and the prisoner his opium.
Another method, used where there are a
number Of prisoners suspected of the
same ofiense, reminds one of similar
proceedings in Arabian tales. One man
is taken from the number and locked up
alone, while his companions imagine
that he is in the next room. In this
room are several inspectors, who pro-
ceed 10 stoutly belabor an empty sack
hanging in the corner, one Of them keep
ing up q violent groaning. This over,
the man is loudly called upon TO confess,
and a constable Stimulates a confession
in q low, mumbling voice. All this 1T
lie comedy seems . stern tragedy to the
trembling prisoners in the other room,
and when the next man is brought out
be is almost sure 10 make full con-
fsssion.

An Amazon of the first Empire.

A remarkable old woman named Vir-
ginie Chesquires, has just departed this
life, close to Issy, near Paris. She had
almost attained her hundrsdth year, and
had behaved with remarkable heroism
during the war of the First Empire, at
which period she fought as a soldier in
the Twenty.seventh regiment. She went
through the Peninsular campaign, and
gained the rank of sergeant for gallaDtry
and good conduct, and on one occasion
she carried off the dead body of her
colonel under fire. While trying to lift
up her commander, two of the enemy
approached, upon which she made signs
pretending to be wounded; they hurried
forward to secure their prisoner, but
when they were near the sergeant shot
one of them, seized his horse, flung the
body over the saddle-bow, and rode back
to the French lines. The other trooper
fed on seeing his comrade fall. The
sergeant however, had been wounded,
and blood was flowing from the breast.
The surgeon insisted on undressing the
sergeant, and then it was discovered that
the gallant non-commissioned officer be.
logged to the fair sex.
