A little golden head
That was nodding DER a picture-bools:
And pretty soon 7 said,
"Come, darling, You are sleepy;
Don't you want to go to bed2"
NO." she said, 81 isn't sleepy,
But can't hold up my head.
"Just now it feels so heavy,
There isn't any use;
Do let me lay it down to rest
On dear old Mother Goosel
shan't shut up my eyes at all,
So you need not fear;
I'll keep EN- open all the while,
To see this picture here"
And then, as said nothing,
She settled for a nap;
One curl was resting on the friH
OF the old lady's cap;
Her arms embraced the children small
Inhabiting the shoe;-
''oh, dear, " thought 1, ''what shall do2
For this viii never do"

Till the clock stuck its @ding, ding"
And then I went around and Kissed

As I kissed her, and she said,

But 1 guess III go to bed"

LATER AND ADDITIONAL.

OF. ALBANS, W, huG. 10.
BY the train just arrived we have the
following additional particulars concern
ing the terrible accident on the South
eastern railroad: The scene of the dis
aster is about five miles west of Rich
ford and ten miles north of Abercorn,
P. @. The train between North Troy
and Richford ran over broken rail, the
shock from which aroused all the pas
sengers, but did not throw any car from
the track, being seen in time. Every
effort was made to make it up, and the
speed was estimated by the passengers
at forty miles an hour just before the
accident, which occurred at about half
past one. The engineer, on seeing that
the bridge had been carried away,
whistled for brakes and reversed the en-
gine, but was found dead in his tracks.
1t seems that the section man had dis
covered a bridge carried away over
brook near Sutton Flats, P. O., which
he tagged, but instead of keeping on
his way to the next bridge, but short
distance off, to ascertain its safety, he
went back to the station to telegraph to
the approaching train at Abercorn and
found no operator up. HIS
1t is generally believed that the man
agement of the road is responsible for
the disaster on account of its want of
ballasting, the dangerous rate of speed

The Chief Justiceship.

On the withdrawal of the nomination
Of Attorney General Williams for Chief
Justice (Which VIC announced last week)
the President sent to the Senate the name
Of Gen. Caleb Gushing for that ofico.
This nomination, it was thought at first
would be confirmed without hesitation,
despite the opposition of few extremists
to whom Gen. Cushiug's ause-bellum
Democratic record was q little Sdistasteful.
Indeed had it not been for the objection
Of single individual, Mr.. Cushing's ap-
pointment would in all probability. have
been ratified by the Senate without the
usual reference to committee.
In this instance the old adage that 'de-
lays are dangerous" was most indisputa-
bly, verified. Mr.. Cushing's war record
began to be hunted up. and whirl- wind
of opposition was raised against him A.
mong other things a letter addressed by
him to Jefferson Davis in the early part
of the war introducing young man to
the latter wherein the writer styled Mr..
Davis president Of the Confederate
Ssates." was produced, evokiug a shrek
of loyalty and making the loyal hearts Of
the hack-pay trieksters shudder at the
thought Of the narrow escape they had
made from confirming such an awful man
to the responsible position Of Chief Justice.
This induced Gen. Grant to withdraw the
nomination. The crime Of Mr.. Cushing
was an awful one. That ,hs should have
been guilty Of such dastardly treason as

son Davis was bad enough, but when be
went so far as to call Mr.. Davis President,
