An Editors Troubles.

Collecting money just now is an uphill
business. Last week genteel- looking,
well-dressed man, apparently about forty
years OF age, "whose sands of life" didn't
look as though they had near run out
stepped up to us and he suid would pay
every cent he owed US il he lived until Sat
urday night" We presume our respectable
looking friend died, for we have neither
seen nor heard from him since. Peace be
to his memory.
Another said he would pay us in "a day
OF two as sure as you were born" Query
Did the man die or were we never
borne
Another said he would "settle as sure as
shooting" We are led to the conclusion
that shooting is nightly uncertain.
Another said he chopped to go to the
ID if he did not pay US within three
days" Haven't seen him since; suppose
he's gone; trust at least he has not hoped
in vain.
Quite number said they "would see
you Tomorrow" These men have been
stricken blind, or else tomorrow has new
er come.
One man told US six months ago that he
would pay up as soon as he got some mon
ey. The man would not lie, for we have
admired his veracity for the last ten years.
So of course he has never got cent since.
Poor fellow. He has our sympathy. May
his shadow never grow less, ard his days
be long in the land.-BGcer Radical ar

PRoFANE SwEARlNe.--It is related by
DR.. Scudder that on his return heme from
his mission in India, after long absence,
he was standing on the deck of steamer
with his son, youth, when he heard gen.
tleman using loud and profane language.
"See, FRIEND" said the doctor, accosting the
swearer, "this boy, my son, was born and
brought up in heather country, and q
land of pagan idolatry, but in his life he
never heard man blaspheme his Maker
until now" The man colored. blurted out
an apology, and looked not little asham-

IN THE OLD CHURCH YARD.

BY T. B. ALDRIcH.
In the old church tower
Hangs the bell;
And above 1t on the vane,
In the sunshine and the rain,
Cut In gold, St. Peter stands,
With the keys in his clasped hands,
And oil is we'll.
In the old church tower
Hangs the bell;
You can hear Its great heart beat,
All 30 loud, and wild, and sweet,
As the parson says prayer
Over welded lovers there,
And all is we'll.
In the old church tower
Hangs the bell;
Deep and solemn, bark! again,
All, what passion and what pain!
With her hands upon her breast,
Some poor soul has gone TO rest
Where all is well.
IN the old church tower
Hangs the bell,
An old friend that seems to know
All our Joy and oil our woe;
1t is glad when we are wed,
And sad when we are dead,
And all Is we'll!

To BLEACH CoTToN.-A very good way
to bleach cotton is to soak it in butter
milk few days. Another way is to make
good suds, put from one to two table,
spoonsfull OF turpentine into it before put
ting in the clothes Wash as usual, wiring
ing the clothes from the boil without
rinsing. BY ueing the tablespoonful Of
turpentine in the first suds on the washing
day it will save halt the labor of rubbing,
and the clothes win never become yellow,
but will remain pure white.

white oversleeves which came to her
elbow, with a brown hat and red
scarf tied carelessly about her neck.
Soon she came out, jumped briskly
into the wagon. took up the liues, at
the same time putting her foot upon

The following description of the
Delemater gas well is written by Eli
Perkins to the New York Sun:
All night long | listened to the roar
of that great Delemater well, and the
next morning rode four miles over
scrub oak hills, through muddy
gulches. and past, | suppose, fifty
oil wells, to see the startling wonder.
The noise grew louder and louder
as we approached. Then the rumble
changed to Kissing rush like thous-
and locomotives blowing off steam.
At an eighteenth of a mile the noise
changed again to the continuous roar
of thousand cannon. The human
voice could not be heard. Communi.
cation was by pantomime. The fame

steeple on fire. The hills were cover.

ground looks like burnt lava. At q
safe distance calves and sheep stand
warming themselves aud eating the
hot.bouse grass. This two acres Of
sterile Pennsylvania looks like a sec
tion of fertile Florida.
"What makes it sound like the con
tinuous report of artillery" l asked
the engineer.
Because it is q fve.inch cannon
constantly exploding Look" said he,
"you see the first fame twenty feet
from the muzzle, that is the flash, the
explosion. 1t is like a cannon only
this is continuous-a million cMlnons
a minute-In fact. one explosion and
concussion going on foreverp
1t is wonderful to see this volcano
fame exploding in the air. The pres
sure is so great that the gas cannot ig.
mite till it gets twenty feet beyond tho,
nluzzle.
The stream of gas comes up 1850
feet through five inch pipe, and is
conducted off 200 feet through anoth-
er tube, where it finds vent The gen.
eral pressure of the gas with the valve
open is 500 pounds to the square inch.
We partly closed the valve and the
pressure ran up to 200; closed it IL
little more, and the tubing began to
tremble and the great ton weight hold
ing it down began to lift. II was only
quick turn of the skilful engineer
that saved 1000 feet of iron tubing,
anchored down with several tons
from shooting like an arrow into the
air. You can better realize the terri.
BILE pressure of this gas when you re-
fleet that the pressure of an ordinary
locomotive boiler is from so to 125
pounds to the square inch, while the
pressure from this we'll, if the valve is
closed, would run up TO $500, and
then tear the tubing out and throw the
heavy machinery into the air.
The engineer conducted half.inch
stream of gas into a II horse power
steam engine, and it ran it so fast that
the machinery broke.
The amount of heat and light in
the gas escaping is equal to 2,100 tons
of coal per day. The gas would light

light-much lighter than ordinary gas
1t will be OF immense value hereaf-
tor in trying balloon experiments.

Railroad Accident.

On yesterday morning at eight o'clock,
as the western bound freight train on the
Vicksburg and Meridian railroad was ap-
preaching Lake station. by some strange
freak, the rear truck of the caboOse car
jumped the track and run IN that way a dis
tance of some seventy five yards, bounding
from tie to tie in very frightful manner.
At the end of that distance it reached a
bridge about eight feet high and forty feet
long, and when midway across tore UP one
of the rails, the end of which flew up and
struck the car near the centre, literally
tearing out the bottom and smashing things
generally to pieces.
Within the car were Mrs. Smith, of Low
rvs Mills. Thomas Watts. of Newton, Con.
ductor William Peate, and Frank Hill.
brakeman. All we're thrown out Just after
crossing the bridge. and before the train
was stopped, and, except Mrs. Hill, were
seriously injured, though no limbs were
broken, and their wounds are not regarded
dangerous. As they crossed the bridge the
caboose car and the next two forward cars
also ran off the track. Considering the
frightful character Of the accident, their
escape from greater damage is quite mirac-
ulous.
The entire train had passed over the road,
and as it was running at the usual rate of
speed, and nothing unusual had occurred,
it puzzles railroad men to know whv the
rear truck alone should have first left the
