A Renzlnn Accident.

There was curious accident at Phila-
delphia on Sunday. A Mr.. Shoemaker,
about to leave the city for the summer,
got q waterproof full Of benzine with
which to dampen the carpets and furni-
tsre ana preserve them from moths. In
less than an hour the gas generated bv
the benzine exploded with O. fearful con-
cussion and the room burst into flames.
The servant girl was fatally injured.
her clothes being burned away and
body baked to crisp, and Mrs. Shoe
maker was very dangerously hurt. An
examination OF the parlor after the fire
had been extinguished showed some
thing OF the force OF the explosion and
the intense heat Of the flames. The
window shutters were blown open, glass
smashed into atoms, walls cracked and
the register knocked to pieces. The
heat was so great that small bronze
figure was actually melted by it.

A PERILOUs TRIP.
The Mair-Lifting Ride of Two Nevada
Miners I'm Mining FIuIne,

A correspondent sends an account Of
the perilous journey down the noun
tains OF two Nevada miners, who made
the trip in o mining hume. The flume
is owned by Messrs. Mackey Il Fair, and
Is located In the mountains near Carson
City. It is about fifteen miles In length,
leading from lofty elevation down to
the plain, and crossing In its course
deep ravines, skirting terrible preci-
pices and chasms, and presenting many
sharp curves. It is fed with water from
Lake Tahoe. and empties into a creek
near Carson City,. This aume, said to
carry down timber which is cut on the
mountains. There are several places In
it's course where the incline IL slight,
and visitors are occasionally treated
to short trip over these inclines in
boat constructed for that purpose. The
two men who took the trip were work
men, who some months ago conceived
the notion Of shooting down the entire
length Of the fume. To carry out this
foolhardy adventure they constructed a
strong boat, sharp at the bow and
square at the stern, and fitting the aume
closely enough to keep it steady. The
men describe the trip as something ter
rife: The heavy boat got fearful
stopping it. In shooting round the
curves they thought it would jump the
fume and precipitate them into the
chasm that yawned beneath. Down the
sleeper inclines the boat sped with more
than express train velocity. The fifteen
miles were passed in less than eleven
minutesl From the foot of the noun
tain to where the fume empties, the in
cline is gentle, and here the boat grad
ually. lost its terrific Roadway, and at
length glided smoothly into the creek.
Unframed, but scared almost out of
their senses, the men stepped ashore,
and one Of them was heard to remark
that he would not make that trip again
for all the silver and gold in Nevada.

lead me to abhor slavery and rejoice at
It's abolition. Yet sometimes. in the
midst of the heat and toll of the strup-
gle for existence, the thought involun-
tarily steals over me that we have seen
better days. think of the wild rides
after the fox and the deer; Of the loll-
Ing, the book, the delicious nap on the
balcony, in the summer house, or on
the rustic seat on the lawn; Of the long
sittings at meals, and the after-dinner
cigar; Of the polished groups In the easy
put vtvactOus conversation in the par
Tor; OF the chiyalrie devotion to beautiful
women; Of the pleasant evening drives;
or the visits to the plantation, with Its
long, broad expanse OF waving green,
dotted here and there with groups OF in
dustrious slaves; OF the long rows OF
negro cabins with little picaninnies
playing about them; Of the old well
with Its beam and OF the women with
pals Of water on their heads; of the
wild old field AIRS ringing out from the.
cabins at night; of the ..'Chrismas gif',

bled for the rind after yoN had eaten

afternoon-and, "as fond recollection

And SO 1t Is with every Southerner;

The market opened inanimate and continued
quiet throughout the day. There was however,
a moderate inquiry. but to q great extent from
buyers who Gained conce ssions, which factors
would rot grant, the latter being sustained in
their pretensions by the steady shrinkage in the
stock, the amount on the landing, according to
the Exchange account embracing only 65,937
SALE and will probably be held for further devel-
opments.
Nothing transpired to indicate any quotable va
Ration in prices, in which there was about the
usual irregularity, some few transactions being in
favor OF buyers, but the bulk OF the business was
fully up to previous rates. Stained cottons and
the lower grades have been for some time In
good request and moderate supply, and row lean
to our outside quotations. Although the market
exhibits this comparatively firm appearance, yet
in the face of the moderate demand sales of any
magnitude could hardly be pressed unless at
some concessions. The dispatches reported
Liverpool easier but not quotably lower, with
sales OF 10000 bales and arrivals lid lower;
Havre dull and unchanged, and New York dull
and easier for spots without any quotable falling
oh, and lower for futures. which closed at net
decline of 7-100@l1-1OOc.

not cleared before todays exports of 4O62 balesl
