A Steer Jumps from q Bridge and
brushes q Man to Death.

This morning at 10 o'clock, says the
Cincinnati Times, the people living
near the Covington end of the Cincin-
natl Bridge were Mortified to learn that
a man named Hickey, who resided at
No. 20 East Seventh Street, Covington.
had met with a terrible, and in alprob-
ability fatal, accident. The details of
the sad affair are few and easily told.
VIM. Hickey and three companions
were standing on Front Street, imme-
diately under the bridge, engaged in
conversation, while a drove of cattle
were being driven over, and, as guards
are placed on both sides of the bridge.
the thought that any danger was in
CURED by standing under it never sug-
gested itself to either of them. 1t ap-
pears, however, that AMONG the drove
was an unruly steer, who had caused
the drivers some trouble in coming
through the city, and who then seemed
determined not to cross, and, despite
their efforts to keep him in the wagon
way, succeeded in getting or the foot
walk, neal the abutment, from which
place it leaped yer the guards, tear
ing away the telegraph-supports
and wire, and alighting on the I'm
fortunate man, literally MASKING him to
pieces. The wharfmaster, who stood
within a few feet at the time of the &C.
cident, assisted by the three compan-
ions before mentioned, raised the dead
animal from the poor sufferer, and car
ried him into q house near by, then
promptly summoned DR.. Kearns, who
ordered an ambulance for the purpose
of taking him to the hospital, where, it
is since reported, death ended his
agony. When first picked up, blood
and water issued from his ears and
nostrils, and the Doctor gave it as his
opinion that he could live but a few
hours, at farthest. The unfortunate
man is a rolling-mill workman, and has
a wife and three children. We were
unable to learn the name of the owners
of the drove, the men in charge refus-
ing to give the information.

A Scared Darkey.

A letter from Norwich, Conn, to the
Hartford Times contains the following
story, as told by George w. Fuller, q
submarine diver, who is now in the
former city: "While performing some
work for Uncle Sam in one of the
Southern ports, where it was customa-
ry for those who supplied the market
with early garden-truck to load their
boats and row them around to the
wharf, it happened that one day a burly
negro loaded his boat with watermel-
ons, and had just reached the dock
where the usual number of loungers
stood watching the operations of the
diver. The negro, all unconscious of
his situation, was zealously endeavor-
ing to dispose of his cargo, when Full
Ter suddenly emerged, helmet first,
from the water, thrusting his google
eyes and ugly head before the aston
ished occupant of the boat, and, Selling
n of the largest of the melons, sunk
Immediately: The darkey, with a yell
and a bound, reached the dock, and
neither stopped nor turned until he
reached home with the tidings that de
debble had 'iscated de melons and was
taken 'um down."

NementOes Of Andrew johnson.

A Kentucky correspondent, writing
from Greenville, Tennessee, the former
home of Andrew Johnson, mentions
some of the mementoes of the EXPIRES
ident, as follows: The veritable tailor's
shop is standing and may be seen by
any visitor. Mine host worked with
Andy on the bench. Mr.. Johnson's
old home, q plain and simple structure
bearing the impress of time, is on a re-
tired street. The house in which Mr..
johnson lived, when he first came to
Tennessee, is a small, one-story frame,
12x14 feet, two doors and one window.
His tailor's shop was much the same
kind of a structure, with a plain board
sign, without border, two and one-half
feet long and eighteen inches wide,
blackish base, with yellowish-red let
tiers, GA. Johnson, Tailor.n The house
in which he last lived is a very plain
but neat two-story, with a two-story
wing running from Il end. His O
now occupies the home. Grape hangs
the door-knob yet.
Mexico weekly ledger., 1876-11-23

When he came back his countenance
was radiant with joy.
"Are you well paid for going'" I
asked him.
"Amply. She would give me no
promise, but, I left q ring upon her fin
ger. All! she is a jewell"
When the spring came again I went
down to Aurelia's wedding. She is a
happy wife and a mother now; the light
of her home; the everyday blessing
Iand the inspiration of a circle of warm
and true friends.
"Ah!" she said to me the other day,
"nature plans wisely and well. Two
are stronger for life's duties than one,
meeter for life's pleasures; and tor that
discipline which all souls need in tend
erness and thoughtfulness and charity,
there is nothing like a happy marriage,
with its year-by-year growth of expert
ence in love-"
Mrs. Harold Mountjoy cuts Raymond
and his wife. She lives on her lonely,
selfish, intriguing life in the midst OF
her splendor, bearing a bitter, restless
and craving heart. Who, then, among
our readers would wish to be a serpent
for the sake of shining in glittering
scaleSp

The Influence Of Malaria Counter.
actPf,

That the harmful influence upon the hu-
man system of malaria may Se etfectually
countcractrd has been demonstrated for
wears past by the protection afforded the in
hahitants of the vast misunderstanding dis
tricts in North and South America, Guate-
mala, Mexico and the West Indies, by Hos
letters stomach Bittcrs. Used as a pre-
~ventive, they have invariably been found to
be a most reliable safeguard against chills
and fever, bilious remittents, and still more
malignant types OF malarious disease, and
when employed as 4 remedy have always
proved their adequacy to the task of eradi-
eating such maladies from the system. For
disorders of the stomach, liver and bowels,
which in hot climates and mia~matic local
tiles are particularly rife, the Bitters are
a prompt and thorough remedy. They also
strengthen the system, t~ranquiliZe the
and impart unwonted relish for food.

I KNOW NOT THE WAY.

I know not the way I am going.
The stars keep no watch for tine day,
Strange waters beside me are flowing,
And darkness lies over the way;
oh, beautiful hills of the morningi
/ thirst for your rivers of dawn,
And hear but the bugle of warning,
And know but the days that are gone.
4 see not il billowy meadows
With flower foam cresting the sod,
Shall border the kingdom of shadows,
But kneel in thanksgiving to God
For every green leaf from the ocean,
That tells me the waters shall cease,
And somewhere their silver commotion
Is kissing the islands of peace.
4 hear not if heavenly voices
Arr breathing of comfort and trust;
They die in a discord of noises,
The sweet keys are covered with dust;
And yet since the angels are singing
To-day as in ages ago.,
Some glad note in Paradise ringing
Shall break through the valleys below.
4 know not the way / am going,
Nor fear lest the crossings be deep,
For where the swift waters are flowing
Their vigils Gods sentinels keep;
And this is the beauty of sorrow:
1t hides a dear hope for a day,
To shape in some marble tomorrow
The form we had fashioned in clay.

Conflict of J0risdtcainu over the
Recorders Office.
This morning the cases of Andrew
jackson Williams and Joe Hunt, who
were arrested for robbing the store Of
Ely, Harvey & Richardson, was called
for trial in the Recorders Court on State
warrants sworn out by Mr.. Harvey. The.
case was continued over for trial until
Wednesday at the request of Mr.. Har.
vey. Subsequently a warrant was sworn
out before Esquire Spelman by a clerk
of Ely, Harvey 4 Richardson against
the prisoners, and Constable Williams
asked the Police Commissioned to order
the station-house keeper to turn over the
prisoners. The Police Commissioners
issued SUCH an order, which was enforced
BY Chief Of Police Athy in the face OF
the order Of Mayor Flippin and the
opinion Of the City Attorney, instructing
the station.house keeper not to turn over
prisoners confined in the city prison to
persons holding warrants issued by mag
istrates. This case goes farther, for the
Police Commissioners order the turning
over OF prisoners when said prison
ers are held by warrants and
their cases continued regularly for trial.
II this is correct any magistrate eau
issue a warrant and by force take pris-
oners out Of the hands of another mag
istrate who had issued warrants and had
first jurisdiction of the cases. The
Police Commissioners were evidently in
error in this matter and the taking and
turning over the prisoner was not var
ranted by law. Whether the Police
Commissioners or the Mayor and Re
corder have control Of prisoners and the
station-house authorities in such a mat
ter il a question now clearly raised, and
it will have to be determined so as to
settle the impending conflict as to au-
thority. The prisoners we're in the
hands of constable Garvey on State
warrants when taken out of the station
house by Chief Athy on the order Of the
Police Commissioners Subsequently
Recorder Duff fined Chief Athy fifty
dollars in each case for contempt of
court, and SO the matter stands ct
present.
