The IIolyoke disaster doubtless
brings upin the recollection Of
those who have lately been in SAM
tiago de Chill corner plot OF sod
ded ground, with Il monument in
its centre, marking the spot Of a
dreadful disaster in 1852. A Ro-
man Catholic cathedral was full
of women-tw0 thousand of all
classes being present. The inter
ior was decorated lavishly with
colored paper and light cloth, and
illumipated with lanterns Twenty
thousand candles and camphene
lamps were burning. A breeze
swung a flame against the altar
drapery, and the congregation
! was almost instantaniously envel
oped with fire. AS at HolyOke
the single doorway was soon bloch
ed. and egress rendered impossi
bic, only . few Of Tie women %
capped. Nearly every household
lost a member, and the city ha'
not yet recovered from the event.

valedlCtOry Of an Editor with o
Bullet In MIS- Brain.

The following curious announ-
cement Is made in tho Indcpend-
ent by Mr.. Carruth, recently shot
by Lands. The article is headed
"Adios' (adieu0; but no one will
venture to assert that, nDtwith-
standing The presence Of lead so
near tho vital region, it is loaded
with melancholy;
With this issue we step down
and out from the editorship and
proprietorslip Of the Vineland In
dependent. We commend the new
proprietor to our patrons and
friends, and hope and trust that
under his management the paper
will give increased satisfaction to
its readers. This sudden sundcr-
ing of our connection with news
papcrdom will surprise, and
doubtless disgust, many Of our
friends, but there was no alterna-
tive. Two months constant wrcs-
tie with hostile bullet in our
brain has convinced us that We
lack the capacity TO develop lead
mine and publish an independent
Vinoland newspaper at the same
time. Our impaired cyesight shat
tered nerve and pulsating brain
admonish us that the coming year
we must not stray too far from
the hospital.
To our subscribers who, for the
past four years have read the In
dependent and paid for it we here
by tender our Acknowledgements,
Those who have taken the paper
just to help it along, never volun-
tcerIng a dime or recognizing a
dun, we shall feel it our duty, il
we recover our health, TO thank
in person.
We cannot omit TO embrace this
perhaps last opportunity to thank
our editorial bretheren, who In
their kindness of heart have ilat-
tered our abilities, cxtolled our
virtues and whitewashed our
faults. The "caoytcs" of the craft
who, taking advantage ofour helr
lessncss, have attempted to redeem
past cowardice by yelping over
our grave, we can afford to forgive
and forget.
| And now, with charity for all
and malice toward none, we bic
good bye to friends and foes, and
settle back OH our pillow for q
good, long, and refreshing nap.

The following is list Of the per.
sons appointed by Governor Ames,
under u law passed by the last Leg.
islature, AS revenue inspectors. The
office is n new one under our laws,
and Was passed under the pretext
that the incompetency and dishon-
esty Of tax collectors required that
they should be closely watched,
and their transactions inspected by
persons appointed for that object
Until this regime Of vilIainy WAS
inAugurated in Mississippi, 1t was
not necessary to burden people with
expense Of such o system. But
now, under carpetbag rule, the
people ore to be cursed, first " it'll a
swarm Of tax collectors, and then
with another swarm TO see that the
collectors themselves do their duty.
The whole thing was cunning
coLtrivancc of the spoliators to
multiply offices at public expense,
| Ames readily co-operated with the
rest, and signed the law, because
It gave him an opportunity to ap-
point agents to aid him in the un-
scrupulous game he is playing for
the United States Senate.
IT is n high-handcd proceeding,
the Quartering of electioneering
agents on the public treasury to
promote the personal schems of the
adventurer who occupies the exec
utive office. But this is not the
worst. Four Of these executive
appointees are members of the Leg
islature, and clearly ineligible IN
der the constitution, which declares
mo Senator or Representative
during the term for which he was
elected, shall be appointed to any
Office of profit under this Statt
which shall have been created du
ring the time such Senator or Rep
resentative was In office, except Il
such offices as may be filed by Al
election Of the people"
The following are the names o
the appointees:
| J. J. Smith, State Senator, fol
the counties Of Adams. Copiah
Jefferson and Wilkinson.
w. r, Avery, member Of th'
House, for the counties of DeSotO

A NAME IN THE SAND

Alone walked the ocean strand,
A peaily shell was in my hand
I stopped snd tote upon the sand
Ny name, the year and day
As onward fra'n the spot passed
One lingering look behind cast
A wave came rolling high and fast
And washed my lines away.
And SO rnethoaght twill quickly be
With every marx on earth noin me
4 wave Of dark oblivion's sea
Will sweep across the plase
Wherein have trod the sandy shofe
0ftime, aud lie to me no more;
Ofme, my day. the name bore,
To leave no track or trace.
Aud yet with Him who counts the sands,
And holds the waters in his hands
Ikrow lasting recori stands
Inserted against my name
Ofsll this mortal part has wrought,
Ofall this thinking soul has thought,
And from these neeting moments caught,
For glory or for shame
&c. D. Prentice.

TWENTY YEARS AGO.

Yesterday two solid looking men stop
ped short ON California street, and after
he>itating few minutes, shook hands
with n henrty and ex plo>ive gree ing, such
as only old friend indulge in after long
years OF separation.
Great Cesar !" cried one of them,
"to think that after not seeing each other
for twenty years, we should stumble upon
each other here in California"
Give Us another clasp of that old
paw" said the other with unrestraned
delight. "How's everything, anyhowW
Let's go in here where it's quiet and then
talk over old times"
The two then adjourned to the private
card room Of saloon, and both began To
pound ON the table for the barkerper.
"Now. look here, Tom, this is my
treat I'm heeled. Look ut these fellows.

TAKING DOWN THE PIPE
HIMSELF.

When the warm weather came on,
Mrs. Dandr utf, kervey, who lives in the
First Wmd, concluded that the parior
stove would have 10 be moved Out and So
one evening when her husband WAS at
home, she tackled the heater. She took
down the pipe up stairs first, and then put
a high chair alongside the stove, M iuntcd
it and removed the top link vi pipe. HI
spouse meanwhile had seated himself on
the organ stool and was critically regard
ing her movements. Mrs. ID. t,uk nod
O. the next link, but although it seemed
loose, it refused to 90 off. The more she
struggled the worse 1t got and The gaveIt
up. There was IL compacent smile on
Nj Dandlutf,kervey's countenance as he
arose and SAID:
Now let me try, Maria. You see,
my dear, you don't apply your strength
properly you are plenty strong enough,
but there is no science in the application
o, your power. All women are -, in
fact. They fuss and fiddle So when they
endcavor to do anything that requires
little brain work. Remark the difference
when man attempts anything .! that
descrip ion. His mechanical eye at once
d ct- the weakest points; he sees right
utf Just where he must exercise his power
and how. l viii show you how to take
of that link vi pipe. Observe with what
,ase aud precision | mount the char, not
ru ming at it with hop skip aud II jump,
a you did. Note the manner with which
l seize the pipe, not AS you did, taking
h I'd ut ii, shutting your eyes, and giving
it n violent pu-h, but with my eyes wide
open. l turn the pipe little this way
ID that to loosen the rust, you see, Ma
ria. l appy my strength at the proper
place, give little shove, and up comes
NJ Stovepipe." But the stovcpipe did
not come up. Dandrutf- kervcy uied il
again, but with no result.
" What tool OF tin>mith made this
pipe ?" he inquired in tones that were
neither chid.ike nor bland.
Are you sure that you concentrate
your strength, my dear ?" ventured his
wife.
Now, Maria, shut up; guess know
what I'm about" He made another
mightier effort and the link came off, the
upper end sinking the ceiling with great
ICE. The SCOT came out in per.rct
stream and landed upon the upturned ace
OF Dandruif- kervey, pouring down on hi
immaculate shirt mont, into his eyes and
down his mouth AID back. He got of tit
/ cnair III haste and yelrd: " Du-spIt-
sJut, -MarleI sooner pltch tlnsnlth-
>putIer-gIDDerag brgo.dcn jabber shnd

on INTO the kitchen.
; When Danl utf, kervey begins to &c
2 windy now, ali his wife does Is to max,
, an incoherenL remark about "sclcntlE'
Application OF strength" etc, and he re
tires within himself like II bald Thea IL
