A Sleeping car. Struck by Lightning
and Partially torn to Pieces.


!, A remarkable accident happened to the
eastward bound passenger train on the Kan
sas Pacific road Saturday last, while driving
along a few miles east of Wallace, and one
that for a few minutes spread consterna-
ton among the passengers. During rain
storm, with light snow, a loud explosion
was heard in the rear car, and the train
came to an almost dead halt instantly. Tho
front end of the sleeping car, which was
empty, was found to have been blown al
most to pieces by the explosion. heavy iron
bars being bent and twisted, and great oak
timbers lay rent and,tofn into spIinters. 1T
first it was thought can of nito-glg lgcerine
had been placed in the car by some means,
but afterwards a lady remembered that
there was a bright flash Of lightning sirntll-
taneous with the explosion, and the theory
generally accepted was that a bolt of cleo
tricity had struck the. car ant caused the
damage. The front end of tie sleeper was
a total wreck, and the rear erd of fiie car
next in front was also badly damaged a
few minutes before the explosiona passen.

coNKLINe.

Next ON the list of aspirants may be
named Roscoe Conkling, present Senator
in Congress from New York-a successful
politician, and an altogether different man
from Blaine. Born at Albany, in 1928, he
was chosen to Congress in 1858, and re-
rnained there until he was elected in March,
1867, to succeed Ira Harris in the Senate,
where he now is-his term expiring March
8, 1879. Of fine presence and rotand voice,
he is hard student, and sinquestionably
competent for any position, even the high
est. 1t is believed that President Grant
offered him the place of Chief Justice of
the United States, but he prefers the SEN
ate and his chances for the Presidency. His
misfortune is that he represents rather a
fraction than the whole of the Republican
party of his State; and has encountered,
whether deservedly or innocently, a good
many cnmities by what is represented as
the intolerance of his opinions and the
haughtiness Of his manner. / believe that
Blaine and Oonkling are now friends, az
tough several years ago they had bitter
personal alteration in tile House, which is
still recalled as memorable mental duel,
in which the two pummeled each other
rhetoricaily without mercy.

Of April, when all the ice had given

at once from Fort Wrangle for Bucks Bar
Gerke & Co. loaded their goods from the
Otter into Moore's barge, and many canoes
were on the point Of starting. Messrs. Por-
tor and Mcintosh left the diggings on the
18th of April. There We're then some goo
men in the diggings, and twenty-five OF
thirty companies were at work. The ground
was still frozen, SO were the creeks. The
snow was two feet deep. One of Captain
Moore's sons and a hired man were at work
on Dease creek They thawed the ground
and washed it in a rocker, yet made from
four to ten ounces day. Rath Brothers
had just got into the diggings. Nelson s.
Co. were making from $50 to S35 day,
thawing ground and washing it. Other
companies were doing well. Some of the
boys are getting out sluice-luinber One
company had got sluices set. A new creek,
called Delerie, emptying into Thibert's
creek, had been discovered, 4 prospect of
four bits to the pan was reported and occa-
stoned same excitement. Only three men
were at work on the trail, which was block-
ed up with fallen timber.

MORTON.
Oliver Perry Morton, of Indiana, born IN
Wayne county, Indiana, August 4, 1928.
A face of singular force and mobility, very
pale, set off by sparkling black eyes !;
slightly bald with broad expansive brow,
and the manners of the West, chastened by
society and study; fine speaking powers;
instructive executive tastes; an admirable
organizer, and the magnetism not always
found in ambitious men. He is Republi-
can of advanced views, and enters the race
with the Western sentiment at his back, q
splendid war record, and pledged to liberal
increase ofthe circulating medium. Afflicted
by numbness of his lower limbs, and
often confined to his bed, he is nevertheless
great traveller, and his stump speeches
eAre models of logic and good temper. He
is never coarse, though always bold and
often severe. He is now in the Senate his
term expires March 3, 1875.

A BIBLIsr of very imperfect attainments
thinks the voyagers in the Ark must have had
a rough time. "for we read in the Bible that II
pitched within and pitched without" Our Bible
has it: land shalt pitch it within and without
with pitch" Another misquotation from the
same book was to the effect that the furnace
into which Shadrach Meshach and Abed-nego
were cast, was heated t,rice as hot as it had
ever been before. The language Of the Bible
Is: "Then was Nebuchadnezzar full of fury
and the form OF his visage was changed against
Shadrach, Meshach and Abed.nego: therefore
he spake. and commanded that they should heat
the furnace, one seven times more than it was
wont to be heated" Make note of this
please: not twice, nor several times hotter, but
one seven times more, is the language of the
Bible.

JAMES LICK, a wealthy and liberal citizen
Of San Francisco. recently gave nearly s3OOO..
900 to scientific, educational and charitable
purposes; and it is now intimated that he will
establish home for destitute women, and a
system Of free baths for the city. Mr.. Lick
has made noble use of his wealth, throughout,
but why free baths should be required in city
like San Francisco is not very clear; however,
if they are adopted, and the people resort to
them freely. it will largely curtail the revenue
of the NJ. DIS.

BETTER THAN Bill Arp" writes:
Gentlemen, there is one thing about drinking.
almost wish every man was reformed drunk.
ard No man who has never drank liquor
knows what luxury cold water is l have
got up in the night, after had been spreeing
around. and gone to the pump burning with
thirst, feeling as if the gallows, and the grave,
and internal regions were too good for me, and
when took up the bucket in my hands. with
my eyebrows trembling like had the shaking
ague. and put the water to my lips, it was the
most delicious draught that ever went down
my throat. have stood there and drank, until
could drink no more, aud gone back to bed
thanking God for the pure, innocent and cool
ing beverage, and cursing myself from the in
most, for ever touching the accursed whisky.
In my torment of mind and body, have vows
and promises and broken them within day.
But if you want to know the luxury of cold
water, get drunk and keep at it until you are
on fire. and then try bucketful at the pump
in the night. You want a gourd full-youIl
feel like the bucket amt big enough, and when
you begin to drink an earthquake couldn't stop
you. know men who will swear to the truth
Of what say; but you see its thing they
don't mean to talk about; it's too humiliating.

DANCING AND FAULT-FINDING.-Re Mr..
Nightingale contributes to the Springfield Re.
publican the following story of Rev. DR.. La
throp, an eccentric pars0n who oficiated in
West Springfield: "A young lady, member
of DR.. Lathrop's church, went on visit to
neighbonng town, and while there attended
party and danced. Tidings of her sin reached
home before her. On her return she was Wis
tied and called to most severe account for the
disgrace she had thus brought upon herself and
upon the church. and which had been found
out notwithstanding it had been done among
strangers. One staid maiden was specially
earnest in her rebukes, and made the poor girl
feel very bad. "What shall do Z" she asked.
"You had better 60 and see DR.. Lathrop."
She did 20, and told him all about it. "And so,>
my dear. you went to the party, and danced,
did your" he said. "Yes, sir" Aid did you
have q good time2" Eyes, SIR" "Well, /
am glad of it, and I hope you will 60 again,
and enjoy yourself And now want you to-
tell me the name Of the woman who has been
making you all this trouble" She told. "Go
to that woman and tell her for me that, if she
wants to 20 to heaven, she had betters make
more use of her feet, and less Of her tongue"

Young man, never think of having an idea
OF your own. It's dangerous. You might go
contrary to some established rule-you might
do something unlike somebody else has done,
or do the same thing in way different from
that of some other person, and be suspected Of
possessing little independence of character,
little originality. Don't lit; have a pattern,
q model for everything you undertake, and
copy after your model with the most minute
exactness. Run in the same groove your father
and grandfather did, and if you should be in
danger of getting out of it, put down the breaks
at once BY this means you will avoid creating
any stir in the world; your whole life will be de-
lightfully free from any excitement; you
will never BE- suspected of plotting treason
against the government, or doing any other act
requiring spirit. and when you die the medioc-
rites and snails who have been your associates
will jog with dreary solemnity to your slimly
attended funeral. The same painful inanition
which distinguished your life will brood over
its close. and settle around your unmarked
grave and nobody will weep because you are
dead. because nobody will know that you have
either lived or died. Don't do anything start
ling or original, it gives weak minded people
the fidgets so.

EVEN those who deny to General Grant the
quality of craftsmanship will now. we think.
be disposed to accord him political sagacity
Having first killed off all Of his formidable ri.
walls for the Office of President by his veto OF
the imitation bill, he next comes out in favor OF
hard money. thus winning to himself the sup.
port of sensible men of both parties AS we
have before said, General Grant will be the
next President OF the United States. He is
not only supreme commander of the entire
"bread and butter brigade" Of the country,
numbering over FIVE hundred thousand strong.
whose rations he can shut off at will, but he
has the sagacity to see, and the wisdom to do'
the right thing at the right time-to get votes,
this being the controlling influence of his life.

Department, and more are still to 60. He has
also interviewed Vanderbilt, the appointment
clerk. and notified him that he would be held
responsible, that no one is hereafter borne on
the rolls who does not render an equivalent in
actual service for his salary, which frightened

ire'-delivered in Platt's Hall, San Francisco
June I'd. Contrary to general rumor, the lee.
ture is couched in language both chaste and re.
fined, and stamps its author very superior
woman, intellectually. Social abuses which
all admit to exist, and more the existence oi
which most people deny, are treated by her
with the. fearlessness of thorough conviction,
and with an ability which will not fail of infu.
ence. Her errors, which are many, must be
demolished by counter truths. made apparent
to the popular mind; weak falsehoods about in
decent language where only language the most
chaste is to be found, will not effect her nor
their downfall in this reading age. Deny the
fact as we may, our social system abounds with
abuses which demand to be corrected, and
sooner or later will be. 6seF

A FINE ART FOR THE LADIES-A writer
in the London Figaro asks, while GIL can
make lace, why should she waste her time in
work 80 far inferior to it in interest and quail
ty2 If q woman can put together beautiful
poem with her needle and bobbin, why should
she longer groyel over the dull doggerel that
proceeds from the crochet hook or the tatting-
shuttle1 It is true that lace-making among
the million is now almost lost art. But that
is no reason why it should remain 80. We have
noted gladly an increasing interest in the sub
ject. Here is chance for our women to- set
to work on something worthy Of their talents
and application. It is open to them to repro
duce the glorious patterns Of the past; to revel
in fairy, gossamer-lke designs, or even to orig
mate for themselves fresh combinations of beau
ty. Let us hope then on eta of lace Is at hand,
and that the fingers Of the descendants of those
and history, as they toiled in loving spirit at
the Bayeux tapestry, will now be busy with
needle and bobbin and pillow, and leave behind
them heirl0oms of loveliness and grace. For
we must remember that good lace is almost in
destructible It wears for hundreds of years,
and grows more valuable as it's years increase,
like good ale. port and pictures. Surely we
need say no more to our lady readers on the
matter. That they all love lace we fully be-
lieve, and we trust that very soon the lace pill
low will be an object as common in our homes
as the piano, and that morning callers will soon
develop new topic for conversation in talking
of the web-like delcacies of the Honiton
springs, the madiaval richness OF the antique
Spanish point. and the geometrical glories Of
the old Greek, which they will see growing up
under the busy needles and deft fingers Of the
ladies of the house."
