A Most Distressing Occurrence.


The Jessamine (Ky.) Journal says:
Never have we been called upon to
chronicle more heartrending accident,
nor one which has enlisted more gen
eral and genuine sympathy with the af-
flicted family than that which occurred
at Union Mills on last Friday afternoon.
Misses Blackford and Bourne and Char
lie Bourne composed party at Mr..
Claybourne Rutherford's on that day.
In the morning some of the company
attended protracted meeting IN prog
ress at East Hickman, but they all met
at the dinner-table, when one of the
young ladies proposed to go to the
Touring mill, stating that she had never
seen one working. Consequently the
party named above, with Miss Julia and
Miss Annie Rutherford, went down to
Steele g. Bronaugh's mill, and Capt.
Steele, with his usual urbanity, was
showing them around. They had been
looking at the bolting-cloths, andpassed
over some ship stuff. Miss Annie Ruther-
ford shook her skirts to rid it of the dust
which had adhered to it, when it caught
in a miter cog-wheel, about one foot
from the floor, which drew it into the
machinery, and there was similar
wheel about three feet higher, in which
her left arm was caught and was taken
clean off, together with the flesh and
bone off her breast. Clinging to the
shaft, her skirt asst in the bottom wheel,
she was whirled round at the rate of
"a revolutions per minute. Frantic with
excitement, Miss Julia Rutherford rush
ed to her sisters assistance; Charley
Bourne did his best to keep her from
the danger she was exposing herself to,
and at the same time doing his utmost
to extricate Annie, but Julia persisted
that she could not stand to see her sister
in such a place, and, putting her arms
around her, she had her right arm cut
off by the same wheel. Annie's clothes
were so twisted that it was impossible
to pull her away until the engine was
stopped by Capt Steele, which took
one minute to do, and Mr.. Samuel
Gosney, perceiying there was some
thing wrong, instantly lowered
the stones. ne scene now DdLnCu uc-
scription There were the cogs filled
with flesh and bones. An arm lying on
the floor, the glove still on the hand,
two lovely girls PROSTATE in their blood,
and Charley Bourne with his left thumb
cut off, from which he has suffered in
tensely and was threatened with lock-
jaw, but he is now probably out of dan
ger. Mr.. James Bronaugh, Jr., took
Julia home in buggy, and Mr.. Steele
fixed Annie on board and presented
her to her distressed parents. Thus the
company who, few minutes before,
were happy and joyous, were plunged
into inexpressible grief by shocking
and deplorable accident.
Drs Jasper, Welsh and Skillman have
been indefatigable in their attendance on
the sufferers, and at last accounts they
were improving.
Miss Annie did not rally from the eff
fects of the shock for 48 hours, but since
reaction has taken place fully, she bids
as fair to recover as Miss Julia, whose
arm was amputated on Saturday.

Europe have proposed to loan the State
of Louisiana S12, ,95O, 900, for which the
State must call in and pay off her pres
ent debt at par with interest to date of
retirement. The State must then issue
the same amount of bonds to the syn
dictate, bearing 5 per cent. interest

As years. Under this arrangement the
State would be required to pay only
about s55O,OOO per annum on account
of principal and interest, instead of
$800,0o0 now required to pay interest
on State bonds. 1t is believed, how
ever, that this proposition can not under
the Constitution and present State laws
be accepted.

SENATOR MoRToN's attitude towards
the Administration of President Hayes
is definitely ascertained from an editor
ial in the Indianapolis Journal of the
23d, upon "The Duty of Republican
Members of Congress- which is au-
thoritatively announced as having been
read and revised by him and as embrac-
ing his ideas upon the subject. The
following extracts contain the gist of
the article:
While there are few Republicans wh0 can
give a full and hearty Endorsement to every
act and declaration made by the President
which go to make up what are known as his
Southern and Civil-service policies, yet we
have seen nothing which, taken either sep
arately or collectively, justifes the Repub-
icans in distrusting either his policy or his
Republicanism. President Hayes has a
most difficult role, and, instead of
receiving the unfriendly criticisms and at
tacks of his party friends, he should receive
their support and be given their best and
truest advice. The day for discussion has
passed as to the right or the wrong of the
Southern policy of the Administration.
We might not have gone to the same ex-
tent in placing the South upon its honor
and good behavior. We might,
after what has transpired in the
past years, have required some protection
or exacted some bond to keep the peace, but
President Hayes has seen proper to accept
the assurance of the people of the South
that they will maintain the law and respect
the equal rights of all classes, and if they
keep faith with the Administration the
Southern policy can not fall. The Repub-
hcans in Congress should not embarrass the
Administration by any factious opposition
to the measures inaugurated or appoint
ments made, and should seek to promote
the harmony of the party, in which none are
more interested than the President and his
Cabinet, and to secure which they have only
to remain steadfast Republicans.

"He Amt Got One of These .


One of the prettiest comedies i'm
aginable was enacted on Adams Avenue
east yesterday afternoon, the partici-
pants being half dozen boys between
the ages of and 6 years. They were
grouped together near the sidewalk, the
principal figure in the picture being a
bright-eyed, chubby little chap, about
5 years old, who was attired in span
new suit of clothes, trowsers, vest and
jacket of blue, resplendent with brilliant
gilt buttons and cuff and collar trim
mings. His companions were rough
and while his eyes snapped with pleas
ure and while suppressed pride nearly
forced his buttons from the fastenings,
their faces shone with hearty, covetous
admiration and curiosity. With child
ish timidity they glanced silently at each
other, grinned and pointed at the well
dressed boy. Then one of the boys
ventured to lay his hand upon the blue
jacket, at which the wearer drew away
with an air of watchful care. Next one
of the boys felt the gilt braid upon the
cuff and passed his fingers lovingly
along the stripe, 10th to desist and much
to the discontinue of the object of in

pocket a handkerchief, and with great

to his nose, while to 1the noses of
the other boys was waited evidence that
the 'kerchief was perfumed. Thenthere
was panic. A new suit of clothes and
a perfumed handkerchief were too much
for the boys in their every day clothes,
and forgetting the superior appearance
of their companion, each one put in a
plea for an opportunity to smell the
handkerchief. When the owner refused
the request they changed tactics and be-
gan showering sneers upon him.

The Commissioner of Patents has
completed his annual statement of the
business of his Office during the past
year. The total receipts from October
], 1876, to October 1, 1877, were $780,
044. and the expenditures for the same
time 1904 900, showing an excess of re-
ceipts over expenditures of about
$105, 900. The number of patents ap-
piled for was 18,629; trademarks
registered, 1924; labels registered,
$40. The number of patents allowed
but not issued on account of failure to
pay the final fee, owing, it is stated, to
the severity of 1.-THE times, was 4,271.
Patents issued, 1929; trademarks
and labels, 1,517. This is reduction
of about 10000 in the number of pat
ents issued as compared with the pre-
vious year. No radical change in the
patent system of the United States is at
present contemplated.

ADyICEs from the Sitting-Bull Com
mission, received on the 22d, are to the
effect that an interview with Sitting-Bull
was had at Fort Walsh on the 18th,
which was terminated by the Sioux
Chiefs disdainfully rejecting all
overtures of clemency made him
by the Government. A Chicago
Times correspondent, who accompanied
the expedition, describes Sitting-B as
swarthy, black-headed, beardless,
pure-blooded savage, with an air of
Judicial gravity and intelligence. He
continually fears treachery on the part
of the Americans and distrusts his own
tribe when they are near. He refused
to shake hands with the Commissioners
and said he wanted them to sit
out in full view and not behind
the tables. They complied, and Gen.
Terry addressed them, stating the
object of the visit, namely, that the
President wished hostilities to cease
forever for the sake of all parties. If
the Indians would return and refrain
from hostile acts against the United
States Government a free pardon would
be given for all past acts; no attempt
would be made to punish them and the
past would be forgotten: This the
President promised. He went on to
say that all other hostile Indians had
now surrendered to the United States
authorities, and had received no pun
ishment whatever, but had been
received as friends. They had received,
or would receive, the proceeds of the
sale of their horses and arms; had been
presented with cows, and otherwise re-
ceived honorable and just treatment.
The same terms were offered Sitting
Bulls people. The savage warrior
smiled broadly at the mention of sur
render. The offer of peace was re-
jected, and the council broke up and the
Commissioners turned their faces home

IT is significant of the size to which
the eucalyptus, which is doing SO much
for Algeria, grows, that when an Aus
tralian wished to send fine specimen
to the London Exhibition of 1862 he
couldn't find a ship long enough to carry
it. In six. or seven years its dimensions
are those of an oak in 20, and in its TWEEN
tieth year it furnishes such timber as an
oak could not under one hundred. The
untiring devotion of Dr. Miergues of Al
geria to the development of the proper
ties of this invaluable tree has greatly
enlarged the sphere of its usefulness.
