Over six thousand people persisted
in these United States, last year, vic
tins of kerosene oil accidents. 1t is
not easy to realize the extent and the
significance of this reliable statement.
An average of one hundred and fifteen
deaths for one year, when scattered
over great extent of territory, does
not impress the average individual
like single catastrophe where half a
hundred lives are sacrificed by criminal
neglect or murderous parsimony. A
boiler explosion, a railroad collision, or
an Indian massacre thrills the public
heart and stirs the blood within US ;
but it is only the statistioian or the
humanitarian who realizes the mental
and bodily anguish. the appalling dis
asters, the agonizing death-bed s.enes
that are presented by this army of six
thousand kerosene victims. The use
Of kerosens has now become so common
in the household, the store, the river,
and the rail that il seems almost work
Of supererogotion to add anything Ia
what has been SO often and so ably

Not a little sympathy Is felt and ex-
pressed by William Butler Duncan, in
his misfortunes, notwithstanding bis
firm made such bad failure apdsunk
the money Of 50 many people who
could lily afford to lose It. Though
he is the subject Of 80 much severe
criticism, he retains the respect and
confidence of his friends and neighbors
on Staten Island, where he contribu-
ted 90 much for public and charitable
purposes, and where he was so univer-
sally esteemed and admired ms large
hearted and philosophical citizen.
A touching incident recently trans
pired which must have quite overcome
Mr.. Duncan. For two or three years,
during the summer months, drivers
and equestrians here met, on the pub
lie tboroughfares of Staten Island, a
young lady equestrian, accompanied
by an orderly, whose elegant figure
and superb workmanship ELECTED gen
eral admiration. She had had every.
thing from infancy that heart could
wish, and was supposed by those who
knew nothing to the contrary to be a
gay butterfly of fashion. But how
mistaken the impression! Soon after
the su pension of the firm, unbeknown
to her family, she understood the
translation Of work which was at
tracing not little attention In Ger
many. Secretly she kept at her task,
night and day. When il was compile
ted, she went alone to the largest pub
fishers in the city, submitting her man
uscript for inspection, and, few days
later, made contract for the publica-
ton Of the volume. When the first
copy was printed she placed it in her
fathers hands, and telling him what
she had done, expressed the hope that
she could contribute something to re-
lieve his financial troubles. The
translation has proved a decided sue
cess. 1t has met with a large sale,
and the royalty has already paid to
the devoted daughter has amounted to
a considerable sum. What an exam
pie Is this for daughters who, reared
in wealth and luxury, are suddenly re-
duced to position of comparative
poverty What a mountain load
could wives and children remove from
unfortunate fathers If, instead of mop
ing and repining under adversely, they
should with willing hearts and willing
hands render any and every assistance
in their power.-(N. Y. Cor. Chicago

il is needless to say, was in total dark

How many unhappy girls have paid
dearly for the early bringing up Of
their young husbands, who, after tile
first glamour Of love has passed, treat
their wives as they were allowed to
treat their sisters, and as they saw
their fathers treat their mothers-care-
lessly, Unexpectedly, with a total
want Of that considerste tenderness
which is worth all the passionate love
in the world. This class, though they
may muster outside rs excellent hus-
bands, never do anything really bad,
and possessing many good and attrac-
tive qualities, yet contriving somehow
to quietly break the poor womans
heart, or harden it into that passive
acceptance Of pain, which is more fatal
to married happiness than even tempo
rary arrangement. Anger itself is a
safer thing than stolid, hopeless indif.
ference.

of as to protection and tenderness.
Consequently the chivalrous care
which these lads were taught to show
their sisters naturally extended itself
to all women. They grew up true
gentlemen--generous, exacting. cour-
teous Of speech and kind of heart. In
them was the protecting strength of
manhood which scorns to use its
strength except for protection--the
proud honesty of manhood which inf
nitely prefers being lovingly and
openly resisted to being twisted around

and mean women will always be found
ready to do it, but which all honest
and brave women not merely dislike,
but utterly despise.

from the north bank to near the point
at which il is to rest on temporary

work, the structure presented such an
astonishing and patent triumph of me
chanical and engineering skill as Ia
make il q matter Of interest to pre-
serve its appearance for the pleasure
and instruction Of all who were not 80
fortunate as to see it in that exact
stage. With this view, the skill Of
Mr.. James Mullen, the artist of this
city, was put under requisiion, and
the result is a picture which is tri'

than the great engineering skill which
it so handsomely illustrates. This pic
ture Is now finished, and may be seen
at the gallery of Mr.. Mullen, on Main
street, by any who have an apprecia'
ton for the beautiful in art. or the
triumphs OF mechanical genins and

is the grandest in Kentucky, the
