VANDERBILT.-A wag on board Hud-
son River Railway train the other day
pointed out to a friend venerable look
ing gentleman seated near the door, and
said in a loud voice There's Wander
bilt." In little while it was noised
throughout the train that the Commodore
was on board, and people began to walk
up and down in front of the old gentle
man near the door and stare at him. By
and by he became annoyed, and jumping
up caught one of the curious passengers
by the arm and asked him what he was
staring at. Nothing. Commodore,
replied the startled passenger, Il beg
your pardon | was just passing BY"

FATAL YESPERS.

From the Virginia Enterprise of May 29]
They were singing a vesper hymn,
when the curtains over the altar caught
on fire. In twenty minutes it was all
over, and seventy-fve men and women
and little children were dead, burnt and
trampled to death. Snch was the news
yesterday from Massachusetts, and the
more we think upon the occurrence the
more dreadful it becomes. We are hor-
rifed when ship at sea succumbs to the
flames or the storm, and carries its pre-
cious cargo of life to the depths Of the
ocean but here. in peaceful village.
with the odor of May blossoms coming In
through the windows, the soft earth in
full view under the stars, and the vesper
hymn filling the senses with delight, sud-
denly the specter which all men dread
was revealed, and in a moment trans
formed scene of sacred peace and ioy
to human sacrifice fearful to think of
even at this distance. Will men ever
learn to build safe buildings? Will the
authorities ever compel builders to pro-
vide for the reasonable safety of human
beings who may enter the structures they
rear Sorrowful lessons are taught
mankind almost daily on this subject,
and yet they go on uplifting traps, as if
intended merely to catch and consume
human beings. Doors are made to open
inward narrow stairs are the only paths
to and from the rooms where hundreds
can be seated. while no provisions are
made to suppress fires or to rescue lives.
Last winter wall left standing from
fire toppled over and fell upon the roof
of a church in New York while the con-
gregation was holding service, and in the
fall and panic which succeeded many were
slain. Now, from the altar curtains the
flame envelops the interior of another
church, and four-score lives are lost The
priests will say at the funeral service
that in the providence of God it was
deemed best that these poor creatures
should be translated and. yet, the deaths
were all because of the carelessness. igno-
rance, or two great thriftiness of the
builders of the structure Experience is
often sad teacher. but if this accident
leads to a general oyerhauling of houses,
public and private, through the country.

died in vain.

SPRING IN DANBURY.- Spring is here,
and the house-yard shows direct evidence
of its presence. The front gate is down,
and some of the fence pickets are gone.
For week or more the sun and the snow
have carried on fierce battle. Slowly
the cold white virgin has retired before
her frey foe. yielding up one by one the
trophies of her prolonged raid upon earth.
Here is little heap of potato-peelings,
there an ash-pile then collection -of
old boots, next a coterie of misused
CATERS, and after them circle of fruit
cans and castor-oil bottles. There are
also the remains Of very dead hen, and
the piece of the trace to a harness, and
bits Of board, and lots of half-bleached
chips, with cabbage-stalks, clothes poles,
old stockings, papers collars, a. damaged
ball, some broken crockery, and thumb
less mitten. The defeated queen has
taken last desparing stand beneath the
currant bushes running along by the
fence and looks moodily over the ruins

THE COMSTOCK HORSE.

It has been said that the original ex-
element attending the discovery of the
Comstock Lode has passed away to give
place to steadily maintained interest on
the part of capitalists, who set about
working claims, knowing pretty near
what obstacles they are to encounter and
what returns they may expect. When
the great lode was first discovered, it was
much like wild mustang who had to
undergo the process of breaking before
it would be of any particular use. 1t may
be said that the experience of the past
ten years has revealed the points of the
horse and the miners have got the frisky
animal we'll in hand. His good qualities
are well known, and SO are his bad tricks.
He is by no means a perfect beast, but
his excellent training enables his masters
to get an incalculable amount of goood
work out of him. Many time has he
bitten the New York investor and planted
his solid hoof on the stomach of the
British capitalist, but these antics were
upon occasions when inexperienced per-
sons fooled around the wrong end of him
or attempted to smooth his nose at time
when he wantedrest. Butthese regretted
Incidents are matters of the past, and
now the old stager is as steady as dray-
horse and liable to last for many years
to come. He occasionlly expresses his
dissatisfaction of being pestered by small
operations, and swinging round his tail,
brushes off the flies. But, to approach
the subject more seriously. it is a settled
fact that there is more solid outlook and
lessuncertainty in the great silver-bearing
lode than ever before. Men no longer
rush wildly in to make or break, or dash
upon the rocks where SO many fortunes
have been lost and won. The splendid
appliances of modern machinery have
removed the obstacles and penetrated the
uncertainties, until the direction of the
vein and the character of the deposits is
sufficiently well known to invite legitimate
enterprise. Wild cat companies are
melting away, swindling schemes grow
ing into marked disfavor, and now, with
the information which is being dissent
mated in regard to the Comstock, Eastern
and English capitalists can invest with
their eyes open and certainty of good
return.-S. n. Stock Report.

A STRANGER with no guile in his face,
and no overcoat on his shoulders, walked
into clothing store in Newport the other
day, and asked if he could be fitted with
spring overcoat. The proprietor very
promptly answered in the affirmative.

stranger. II am bigger than you take

fident that he had coats that would an

was put up in the hands of third party,
and all started off for pair of scales, and
the stranger balanced 290 pounds. The
store man looked sad and puzzled. With
smile that was childlike and bland the
stranger took the money and walked off

a Caution to Society.

Almost every steamer brings to Mexico
one or more rascals from abroad: mostly
claiming to be Americans, but who are OF
ali Municipalities. These men do not bring
with them letters of introduction or credit
or any evidences of respectability: and are
usually not recognized by the American
residents in this city. and this being the
case Mexicans and others, We think. should
regard such characters az suspicious at
least. Before having any dealings with
them, would it not be prudent to require
them to give reference to some respectable
person in this city.
We are called upon 70 make these re.
marks, from the fact that q swindler bv the
name of Baldwin, who arrived last April.
on the New Orleans steamer, by false pre-
lenses has been successful in imposing a
worthless draft on a mercantile house in
Vera Cruz, which will be ignored. and in
drawing from the pocket of worthy

after the performance of this piece Of

immediately decamped and is now out of

the board Of trustees in transferring How

At the annual meeting OF tho board of

patlble features being Topped off to give it "a

posed by all the colOred members Of the

suspicion, and AS being. if nothing worse, a
fagrant departure from the original design
OF the university. and very inimical to it.
success. the vote was divided strictly ON
the color line. Professor Langston. at

OF the cOlOred trustees for president.
In conversation with Fred Douglass this
morning, he showed considerable feeling.
He said the colored people had considered
this the only ono Institution in the patton
where they could educate their children
without fear Of prejudice. 1t had been es-
tablished for them. and largely with their
money. and it was no more than Il. and
proper, in bis opinion. that they should
eontrolis. The original plan of tue institu-
tion was that it should be exclusively for
coiored people. and as fast as cOlored men
we're educated they should be established
in the professorships and tlu .tees' chairs:
and. further, that it be entirely unsectarian,
and embrace all branches of learning. He had
hoped soon TO see medicine. engineering.
and other professions added TO it's already
established branches Of theology and law.
but this movement would defeat all such
plans. and the financial interests would be
controlled by the same men who had in
jured the prospects OF the colored race in
the unfortunate management Of the Freed.

An intense solicitude had been created by
the apprehension that he might answer,
positively declining. without knowledge of
the final action referred 70: hence the ont.
burst; when this feeling was so fully Ie-
lieved.
The history Of Ohio does not furnish a
like instance in which a nomination for
Governor was not only not o. ught. but was
absolutely forced upon a man, against his
known positive and repeated declip alton,
and both Governor Hayes and the Reprb-
llcans are to be congratulated on an event
80 highly creditable to each party. A
higher personal compliment has been given
to no public man in the State, while more
ready and cheerful act of personal sacrifice
Tor the public good has not been made.

tions to each other and to the people at
