A Terrible Death.

At Lagrange, KY, at ten O'Clock
on Saturday night, John Finne-
gan,an engineer on the Short Line
Railroad, met with a terrible
death. Finnegan was on freight
train when an axle broke and pre-
cipitatad the engine and cars down
a slight embankment. Finnegan
was by some means caught fast by
the machinery, and held so that
his companions could not release
him. Two streams Of hot water
poured upon his face and body
from broken boiler. No relief
could be extended to the sufferer,
and, after the most horrible
agony he became unconscious,an
soon died. The skin from the face
and body peeled off. When ply
stefan arrived the sufferer was dy-
ing, with his tongue dropping off
from the effects OF the hot water
which had forced into his mouth.

Accidental Suicide OLA Doc
tor

a P'ttsburg paper says: Yes
terday DR.. j. w. Butterfield died
at his residence, 1901 Pennsylva-
MIA avenue. For some time past
the gentleman has been suffering
from painful affection, and on
Saturday night to alleviate his
pain, he took couple of grains of
morphia, The dose not having
the desired effect, he yesterday
morning concluded to resort to n.y.
podermic injection, and conse-
quen,ly in that way injected into
his system seven grains of the dan
gerous drug, Unfortunately, in
his somewhat enfeebled condition,
the amount proved fatal. Finding
that he was seriously affected, he
sent for DR.. r. w Hamilton, and
telling him what he had done, very
soon after fell into a comatose con-
dtion, from which all efforts to
arouse him proved Intellectual.

A "wolf chi9," the real thing, has
been interviewed by Editor Francis in
the orphanage that occupies TIE tomb
of Akbar's begun at Secundra, India.
He is about 90 years old, and captured
in a VOLTS den at Bnlandshahar, IL
years ago. He was then fully eight
yea. old. was found in company wit
the wolf ard walked upon all-fours, and
the animal evidently recognised and pro-
.ected him as one of her own progeny.
No doubt tae boy had been stolen and
carried off by the wolf when an infant,
and was fed, cared for and brought up
in the wolfsh way by his adopted
mother. The boy is named Saturday"
that being the day he was rescued from
the wild animals den. At first raw
meat was the food he most relished ); he
was quite wild and intraetable. Grad
ually he was tanned, taught to walk
properly, and subjected tothe necessary
usages of human civilized life. But be-
You'd the expression of a very few
words, language could not be impaired
to him. He is evidently half idiotic,
though he understands commands adj
dressed to him, and makes known his
own wants by simple CALCULATIONS and
signs. He makes his salaams TO strang-
ers, and enjoys attentions paid him.
He has by no means unpleasant face,
and there is not mark OF IKE beast
about him except in the scar-prints OF
his mother wolf, which he points out
upon his cheek. The case is curious
enc, and attracted not little attention
at the time throughout the world. II
was then supposed he possessed capaci-
ty for improvement and education, bat
the efforts of years to teach him have
met with very little success.

SHE KNOWS.

We fiatter ourselves--we bearded boys
That we are deep, and can conceal
All that We know. and do, and feel
Our business sorrows and club house
joys
From the innocent creatures who make
orr tea,
But believe me, sir. they can see
Right through and through both you
and me
As il your Glove or cardamon seed
Gould hide your guilt in wine and weed.
Ali . foolish mortal, do you suppose
That only to SMITH scent of rosee,
Ard not the odor that's in your clothes
Nne7s got that sweet little, pert little
nose I?
louT screen is only a pane oi glass,
Through which she sees that you are
Il,

Bit long-eared thing in a lions skin.

Sam Ryan, an itinerant and in
temperate banjo-picker, says the
Denver News. who used to gain a
precarious living by titilating cat
gut for drinks and sandwiches in
this neighborhood, persisted IN a
singular manner the other day
near Fort Union, New Mexico
He undertook to cross an aroya.
and, being too drunk to walk, fell
and was buried under the sand.
which was drifting badly before a
strong wind. Thus he was literal
ly buried alive, and smothered to
death. When found only one foot
was projecting from under the
sand.

Senator Thurman ON the
Finances.

Senator Thurman has written a
letter on the currency question to
member of the Ohio Legislature
He reiterates his belief in the ne
cessity of currency convertible
into com at par, and after quoting
his speech of January Z, 1876,
against the Sherman resumption
bill, says:
"Of course, with these / shall
continue to oppose the act and hope
To see it repealed, and a proper
measure substituted for it. | be-
lieve that such measure will
surely be agreed upon, and that all
reasonable and patriotic men who
look to the welfare of the party
and the country will consent to ac-
cept it / do not expect that any
measure will satisfy everybody
There is such a diversity Of opin-
ion and such extreme views upon
the subject, and a calm considera-
ton against it has been SO marred
by Incorporate defamation and
denunciation that perfect harmo-

trust that there is wisdom and pat
riotism enough in the party to
bring US to a substantial agreement

ton OF the radical party 1t is not
a time for blind dictation by ex-
tremis,s of any sort, hard or soft.
AS To my views in reference to the
contraction of the currency it is
only necessary for me to remind
you that / have steadily opposed
contraction as well as imitation ever
since have held aseat in the Sem
ate. y
