Two Little Girls smOthered in a Trunk.

One of the most awful calamities ever
recorded is that of the death of the two
daughters of Mrs. Amelia Moench, first
assistant teacher of German in ST..
Louis school, by being suffocated in q
trunk. The little girls have for year
past been with their father on a farni
four miles from Dixon, Mo-, one hundred
and thirty-eight miles from st. Louis.
Mrs. Moench spends her vacations on
the farm, and was prepared to go TO her
husband and children Immediately upon
the close of school. Mr.. Moench had
gone to Dixon, and his little girls called
cheerfully after him to hurry back, and
if he wrote to their mamma to send their
love. On his return he was surpristsi
not to see them awaiting him. He call
ed but received no answer. He weat
into the house and saw the tray of the
trunk setting on the floor. A horrih
fear flashed on his mind. He opene
the trunk and found the two little giEl
the younger, who was underneath, ~
evidently past all hope, but the elde
was still warm and limp. Not a nei8
Dor was within half mile. The fatA
dashed cold water on the children, the
rubbed them with vinegar, and mae
every effort to restore animation, labor
ing until after twelve o'clock, but sr
vain. He then gave up in despair, and
went to seek help from a neighbor. Iha
little girls we're aged eight and five year
respectively.

AUSTRIA again leans over to England,
which strengthens the chances for a
fight. If reliance could be placed on
the news sent out from Constantnople
and London, it would appear as an in
evitable fact that war between England
and Russia must come, Russia has
population of S0,0OOO00, while England
(leaving out India and the colonies) has
apopulation of 33,5000OO. 1t is guess
tlonable if Russia's late engagement
with Turkey would be detriment in
case of an attack by England, owing to
the experience, training and preparation
already had. England, according to Sir
Garnet Woolsey, can put Ala 900 elf,
cient soldiers in the field. Add these
to her reserves and colonial militia, and
she will have 100000 men. In an emer>
gency, the Saturday Review claims that
England, by calling out her whole pop,
ulation capable of bearing arms
throughout the empire, can command
o'ooo,OOo of lighting men, this force be,
ing equal to the entire. fighting strength
of Europe.

JUDGING from the position taken by
the negroes of this city at meeting
Thursday night, the following from the
st. Louis Republican is timely. That
paper says that the part which the mes
gro is to play in southern politics is al
ready foreshadowed in Virginia. There
the dominant party, having no opposi-
ton, il breaking into factions between
these the colored man will hold the
balance of power. Hence his vote will
be sought by both factions, and in a
way, too, which will not improve his
morals. 1t further remarks that this
will be the case sooner or later in all
southern states.

The almost absolute certaint v of the
passage OF the Texas and Pacific bill bv
congress has induced an immonse
to this state. and especially along
the line Of the projected route to the
western terminus of the road. A
Characteristic of these immigrants
Is that they have an abiding faith in
the general good that would result
from building the road, and should sue,
cess crown any of the schemes concocted
70 thwart this, the most valuable public
measure before congress, it would be a
serious blow and disappointment to a
large class OF citizens from almost every
quarter of the country. But if we may
Judge from the large influx of people
who are fast settling up the country
clear through to the border west of
Fort Worth, congress will not heed the
spurts OF those who would have Pacific
road Tor the accommodation of some
particular city TO the detriment of thou>
sands of good citizens who will at once
develop country unsurpassed in nstu,
raj resources.
