RAILROAD AOCIDENT.-On last Sunday
might week ago, James hardwood, brakes
man on the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad, and
SON of F. NJ. hardwood, of this place, fell
from coal car whilst the train was in notion
and came very near losing his life. He was ad-
vancing from the rear OF the car forward, and
the smoke and cinders from the engine almost
binding him, he miscalculated the length of the
car, and before he was aware, stepped over the
edge, was caught on the coupling, and in some
unaccountabie way, was thrown clear of the
track. The accident occurred near Ivy Depot,
and the young man, although terribly bruised
and in great pain, crawled to fhe house OF Mr..
Sutor, close by, and was there tenderly nufsed
and cared for. He is now at his home in this
city, and will be able to be about again shortly.

Correspondence Between the President
and Gen. Spinner.


Besides Gen. Spinner's formal letter of
resignation, transmitted through the
Secretary, the following correspondence
passed between himself and the Presi-
dent direct:
GEN. SPINNER TO PRESIDENT GRANT.
MY DEAR Mr.. PRESIDENT: In the
formal letter of to-day's date, in which I
rendered to you my resignation of Office
OF Treasurer of the United States, it
would hardly have been proper that [
should express my heartfelt feelings
toward you, and in our recent interview
your kind treatment so filled my heart
that could not give utterance to my
grateful thoughts. Now that it is all over
with, and that stand on the Threshold
OF emancipation, / desire to express to
you my deep gratitude for your great
confidence, for your marked friendship,
and for the many kindnesses and favors
that you have bestowed upon me- It
was your kind countenance and support
that more than all else sustained and
held me up during my long years of
vexatious and arduous official labor. I
shall always look back upon these marks
of esteem and favor, commencing With
the time when you took command of the
Army of the Potomac, and growing
through the time that you were in com
mand OF all the armies of the republic,
and since you became President of the
United States, as the events of my long
life of which shall ever feel most proud.
For all these kind manifestations toward
me, from one who stands so high in the
esteem of the world for his great achieve
ments, please permit me, now that our
official relations are about to end, to ten
der to you the sincere thanks of truly
grateful heart. Most respectfully and
truly your friend, F. e. SPINNER.
To Gen. U. S. Grant President of the United
States, Washington, D. G.
THE PRESIDENTS REPLY.
My DEAR GENERAL: Your letter of
resignation of the office of Treasurer of
the United States, of yesterday, and
your very kind private note of the same
date, are received, and in return [ wish
to say how much I, in common with the
great mass of the people of this country,
appreciate your zeal and devotion to the
arduous duties you have been called
upon to perform in the last fourteen
years. In retiring from those duties [
hope you will find the rest and restora-
ton to vigorous health SO long denied
you. You take with you my best wishes
for your welfare and happiness, and my
confidence in your patriotism, zeal, and
ability. But few men have performed
more labor for the public than you, and
none have retired from their labors re-
tanning stronger confidence in the pub
lie mind for constancy, integrity, and
unselfshness. With great respect, your
obedient servant, u. S. GRANT.
To the Hon. F. E. Spinner, U. S. Treasurer.

Spring.

OF all the seasons spring is the most
coquettish. She is like the Princess who
stopped and kissed the sleeping poet
under the tree, who still slept on but
dreamed different dream. The earth
was hardly conscious that spring had
come till yesterday, when blue skies
dropped ethereal mildness (Thomson)
ON here bosom. It is indeed the time
when the young, the rosy spring gives
to the breeze her scented wing (Anacre-
ON and April is garlanded with all the
fairest flowers and freshest buds the
earth brings forth (Spencer). Well was
it observed that like an army defeated
the snow hath retreated (Wordsworth)
and that the fields with flowers are
decked in every hue Orummoned),
though we must not go out just yet to
pull them. The swallow also brings us
the season of vernal delight, with his
back all of sable and belly of white
(Annonymous), and there are daffodils
which come before the swallow dares and
take the winds of March with beauty
shakespeare. In the spring brighter
crimson burns upon the robins breast
(Tennyson), and young mans fancy
lightly turns to thoughts of love Gbid).
Now is heard the sound of vernal
showers on the twinkling grass (Shel1ey),
and with his umbrella wanders forth the
hyacinthine boy, for whom morn well
might break and April bloom Emerson.
Now shall we notice how our swift
spring heaps the orchards full of bloom
and scent OowelD, and the maiden May
returns with pretty haste Barry Corn
walD. Now do the majority of intelli-
gent people think it better to sport with
Amaryllis in the shade or with the
tangles of Ne@ra's hair (Milton) than to
creep into some still cavern deep, there
to weep and weep and weep (Tennyson).
All these and many other things do we
see and enjoy now that spring has
broken the icy letters of the silver
streams (Wilkesbarre special dispatch),
and all nature rejoices that grim-visaged
March has smoothed his frosty pow

Hair DYES.

The Health Retornaer, while asserting
that hair dyes are nearly always unsafe,
and it would advise not using them, ad-
mits that there are cases in which the
use Of some kind Of a dye is desirable,
as in those in which portion of the
hair has lost it's pigment by disease OF
accident, while the remainder retains
it's natural color, or in cases of prema-
ture whitening of the hair. For use in
such cases it would recommend the per-
manganate of potash. Prepare strong
solution of the salt by dissolving ten
or fifteen grains in an ounce of water.
Apply to the hair with brush, being
careful to avoid staining the skin. This
is reputed to be an excellent dye, far SUI
perior to any of the patented mixtures.
Tt gives to the hair rich color and
ulster, and does not injure it's texture.

The NAME AMERICA. Marco,

The NAME AMERICA. Marcou
contributes to the atlantic Monthlu
magazine for April, an article on the
origin of the name America, which pre-
SCENTS a, view partly new, in that it seeks
to wrest the honor from both Columbus
and Yespucius. It claims that the name
is itself an American word; that it comes
from the name (Americ) applied in Mica
ragua to the mountain range between
Juigalpa and Libertad, being in time
spread over the whole of the new world.
But there is familiar feature of his
theory-that which presents the famous
(although unknown to any great fancy
old publisher and bookseller of the
Vosges, who had heard the word Americ
used by sailors from the new continent,
and thus came to apply it in his books
to the new country which he helped
some of them SO poorly to describe.

THE LITTLE FOLKS.
Fanny's Two Questions.
Fanny, leaning on my knee,
With her questions bothers me

Uncle, you know everything
All about the tirds and bees
Flowers and grass, and leaves and trees
Uncle, you know everything!
"Why do buttercups grow yellow
While the violets grow blue.
Tell me, please, and tell me true,
There's dear old fellow?''
"Fanny dear, some things, it may be,
may know more than baby:
But why buttercups grow yellow
While the viOlets grows blue,
/ can tell no more than you.''
Fanny raised her shining eyes
Up to mine in swift surprise:
Il thought you knew everything,
Uncle, and I'm sure you do,
II you'll only tell me true
Why do rusty brown birds sing
Sweetly, whilst bright birds are mute 4?
Why are all the dull ones honest,
While the gay ones steal the fruit?
Don't yoYthink it quite pity
They can't be both good and pretty?"
colder heads than yours, my deary,
Have been puzzled by this query,
And may answer as they would;
AS for me, why fair and good
On the same bough seldom grow,
Really, Fam, do not know!"

The complex English balloting sys-
tenn, which has been on trial but year
or two, must already be investigated by
Parliamentary committee. Under this
system, the voter is given ticket, with
the names of all the candidates on it,
and stamped with an official stamp he
retires into a stall and marks cross
against the name of the candidates for
whom he votes. This is the secret bal
lot required in a country where many OF
the voters are tenants and dependent
shop-keepers, and so liza BILE to init mida-
ton, and are ignorant besides. Some OF
the English Judges have decided that
the mark against man must be a cross
in every case, when the law only in
tended to provide that some mark should
be affixed. The ballot moreover does
not secure general secrecy, and English
tradesmen will learn that the independ-
ent voter cannot be manufactured by
any such device. He must be trained
up by popular education, and by the re-
lief of the mass of the people from their
servile dependence on those superior to
them in wealth.
