Miss Mary X. Mixer, who persisted in the fatal
accident Ut the 29th ult., one week from the day
she set out full OF youthful spirits and the an

Bile wisdom chose to take her to Himself, called
her to walk through the fiery furnace before H.

she was u person Of many gifts and rara

Of love and sympathy are cold now that the
hearthstonc Is bereft OF its brightness, God
grant in time that the pleasant memories Of
how dear she was to all who knew her may coE2-
fort the stricken parents, aud that the daily
tears and prayers offered may mingle With theirs
We call these occurrences mysterious dispen-

| THE AsnTABuLA ACCIDENT AND THE LAKE SHORE
ROAD.
| The interruption to freight traffic will be less
| than is commonly supposed, for the reason that
| the Company owns what is called the Ashtabua
Branch, which enables it by going abont forty
miles further to 60 around the point at which the
accident occurred. This branch road leaves the
Lake Shore, coming east, at Ashtabu1a, runs to
Jamestown, on the Erie T. Pittsburg, thence
going northeast, connects with the Lake Shore at
Gi:ard, which is twenty-four miles cast Of Ashta
bula. As to the money damage for deaths by rail-
road accidents, the law limits the amount to bo
paid to each person whose life ia lost to q sum
not exceeding 55, 600. In the case OF the Angola
accident, on the same road in 1868, the largest
amount paid for the death Of any person WAS
g., 500. Formerly the Company had blanket in-
surance covering all damages by fire to their cars
we understand this is still in force.-iNew York

SAN FRANCISCO sToCK-GAMBL1yG.
A single moments reflection must convince any
sensible minded man or woman that the chances to
win at stock gambling are infinitely small. The
stock game is packed with false cards and dealt
with dishonest hanls out OF so, 600 people In San
Francisco who have dealt in mining stocks there
are not fifty who have made money; tens OF thou
sands have lost and thousands havc been ruined;
mining stocks are now at panic prices, less than
they have been for months, and yot the best mine
on the Comstock is selling for more than its in
trinsfc. real worth. No moneyed institution in the
world dates to give the Consolidated Virginia cor
poration twenty millions Of dollars for its mine,
which is leas than $40 per share; yet industrious
men and working women have been inyeigled into
its purchase at rate amounting to nearly $50. 0o0-
600. Hundreds Of millions OF worthless wildcats
have been capitalized and placed upon tbis market
and been paid for from the d:earned toll and
prudent savings Of working peoplo. This thing
will cease only when the community brings to this
business the came reason and sense they apply TO
other transactions. Until then, stock-jobbng
thieves command the position and will continue to
plundcr the community. -Chronfc{e.

Raising a Delicate Question.

Death, which sometimes cuts Gordian knots
in very satisfactory manner, sometimes, on
the other hand, creates rather awkward situa-
tons. Thus it appears that the jate death Of
the Duke de Galllcra has raised delicate
question touching portrait,of Nine. Nilsson,
the popular prima-donna- It Is related that
the gifted lady, Who was frequent visitor At
his receptions, had her portrait painted BY
Cabancl. The portrait, life-slze, Is described a.
masterpiece, "worthy Of the painter's magic
whose textures 1t represented Unfortunately,
when it was finished Nine. Nilsson WIS abroad
and the Duke could not present 1t to her. When
she returned to Paris the Duke himself was
away; and this state OF things continued for
two years-continued so long, in fact that the
Duke died before he had carried out his fnten- :
tion as regards the portrait, which, consequent
]y.'Eas become included in the inventory OF the
furniture belonging to the Hotel Gatliera- Tbs
question asked is whether the portrait is to be
or not to be Ophciias.

CHICAGO. Jan. Tin your issue Of the 5th
inst. noticed short article entitled I" Travel
ing Men, in which Mr.. Parlett figured
quite largely. Mr. Parlett made the state
ment that "large majority Of the 5000
travelling men Of Chicago were addicted to the
vice of intemperance, and that no class Of men
were so low in the moral scale as the travelling
men," Now, with about 5,99S other travelling
men, 1wish to take exception to these statements
OF Mr. Parlett. We claim that it is false in every
particular. Ne do not wish to believe Mr.. Par
lett would willfully make false statements, but
he has either done go, or has been made the dupe
OF some evil-minded persons, and really believes
what he said. Take the Il, ,000 travelling men Of
this city, and guarantee you cannot pick 1rom
any other profession larger number OF
more, intelligent honest, temperate, or

experience, perhaps, as almost any man In Chi

Parlett speaks Of! think you will agree with
me that the statement is utterly false.
Nov, If Parlctt is / Christian and a gentleman,
let him come out and own up that he did not
know what he was talking about, and We will
forgive him. We think the object and aim OF
the meeting Of the 9Th inst. is good one, and

CHICAGO, Jan. 6.-We would like to inquire
who this !" Parlett MS, who claims to belong to
the lowest class Of men in Chicago4 Perhaps
he does belong to such class, but the travelling
men generally utterly deny that they, as class,
stare lower in the scale Of morals than any other
men in the community" Do our great whole

and pay them salaries Of from 81, GOO to $40 600,

COOPERATIVE EDUCATION.


CHICAGO. Jan. 6.-The Chicago Athennum is
meeting with marked success in the system Of
cooperative education. It had 700 class men,
bcrs in the fall term, and its winter classes,
which are just commencing, give promise Of
even larger numbers It has some sixty classes
in all departments, but it gives special attention
to the useful branches. It also gives languages,
drawing, and painting large attention: 1t Is
about opening regular business college for
mer e and It has aay scboo jS9 for ose iu
who wish to devote their time to few special
branches. It does this work for its members at
very low prices, securing for them the vcry best
tuition possible Its cofps Of teachers is unsur-
passed. If it is q Christian work to help those
who are trying to help themselves, this institu-
tion is doing this work. 1t teaches the gospel
Of selthelp and mutual assistance in the most
practical manner, and tries, by saving men from
ignorance aud idlencss, to save them from SIM

CHICAGO, jan 6,-I wish through the COL
umns Of TIE TRIBUNE to call the attention OF
the people to one Of the many fragrant outrages
perpetrated by the Board Of County Commis-
sioners. 1t is well known that the Recorder,
Maj. Brockway, asserted his right to appoint all
clerks and watchmen connected with his Office,
and that the courts hate fully sustained him
therein, and that further he has officially notf-
fed tho County Board TINT he has made such
appointments, and that be has no use for the
three men sent to tide Recorders office by their
order. Notwithstanding this, the Commission
ers still keep these men sitting around tho fur
mace under the office doing absolutely nothing,
and an expense to the county Of s210 per month,
merely to crafty their spite against an officer
whom the people elected, and who is striving to
do his whole duty faithfully. This ono fact
furnishes an additional reason why our Legisla-
ture should sweep the whole thierish gang out
OF existence. The way to do it was clearly
pointed out In TIE TRIBUNE Of this morning.
