Terrible Accidex,f.

One of the most distressing fatal acci-
dents, it has ever been our duty as Il
Journalist to chronicle, occurred at the
Sault last Sunday afternoon. Two little
boys, sons of man named Gregg, aged
respectively seven and nine years, were
playing in the upper room of the house.
They came across a gun and of course
had 10 play with that. They tried to as
certain il it was loaded, the same as they
had probably seen elder persons do. by
blowing in the muzzle. The gun proved
10 be loaded. The discharge blew away
the entire lower part of the younger
boys face. He died before medical assis-
stance could reach him. The Gregg fam
lily moved from Canada last fall. This is
only another warning against fire arms
being lett in the way of children.

Lock Gates Rejected.

We learn from a gentleman just down
from the Sault that the new gates which
were made in Detroit for the upper gates
of the locks. arrived a few days since,
and were rejected by the resident man.
agement, OH the ground of being defec-
tive, both i'm construction and material.
Our informant states that the workman
ship is rery bad, it being claimed that
::here was not perfect joint in the gatas
Many of the largest cracks were filled
with wedges drivenSn, e=sied i'm joiners'
vernacular .dutchmen," some of these
being pine instead of oak. The entire
work shows it was put up By not better
than third rate ''wood butcher" While
the workmanship is bad, the material of
which they are constructed is Infinitely
worse. Lock gates, as any one is aware,
should be made only of the very best and
strongest oak. These are made OF oak,
but is is old and rotten and wormy. The
heel parts. where the great strain comes,
are rotten in the center, while a great
share OF The other timber is full OF worm
holes and is IdoZy. Our informant says
that Ile run his big knife blade the full
length in number of the rotten places.
Some OF the worst holes had been filled
up with putty. Superintendent Spauld.
ing and Collector Chandler after looking
them over refused positively to receive
them or assume any responsibility in the
matter whatever. The captain Of the
vessel bringing them up then employed
a gang of men and showed the gates of
OIL the canal bank This was the situa-
tion of affairs when our informant left
the Sault. What the out come will be
remains to be seen. We do not under
stand how such gates as these are des-
cribed to be were ever permitted to leave
Detroit.

Dorsey. But as he approaches the end of
his term in the Senate it is gratifying to note
that discriminating and appreciative pub
lie is willing to accord to him due recosni-
tion of his distinguished services in that
body, notwithstanding the fact, of which he
need not be ashamed, that his citizenship
in Arkansas did not begin until after he
had first visited the South clad in the blue
uniform of Union soldier Among other
pleasant concentrations of this kind is the
following from the st. Louis Globe Demo-
crdf.
Senator Dorsey, Of Arkansas, arrived hero
yesterday, on his way to Washington. The
political changes in his State will soon deprive
him of his seat In the Senate, but we doubt II
his successor will be his equal in the elements
which make up II faithful and energetic repre-
sentative Of a constituency. Mr.. DORSEY has,
during his term of office, kept his eye steadily
| on measures for the welfare of Arkansas and
| the Southwest. He has been partisan in na-
tional politics only. Arkansas, ia his successor,
will gain Democrat, but she will lose most
useful and most energetic man in the Senate
of the United States.

THE Chicago Tribune wants to know If
there isn't some good Ohio man to dispute
the claim Of SAM RANDALL to the Speak
ership of the next House. To this tho
Ohio Slate Journal replies as follows:
Not If the Democrats maintain their ascend
ancy. SAN RANDALL carries Ohio In his
breeches pocket, DemocraticIlly speaking. The
gerrymander was at SANS command.
Isn't it about time for our Republican
friends to cease building up SAN RAN
DALL's reputation by accrediting him with
so much more political power than he
really wields? 1t is true that he wrote q
letter advising the infamous gerrymander
Of the State of Ohio, and thereby connected
his name with that fragrant proceeding
but il is hardly probable that his advice
amounted to n command 1t is exactly
| this kind Of talk in Republican newspapers
that makes his chance for reelection to be

extend pardon to those by whom he had been
wronged. lie left us n fugitive, he returns n

skin he bore, he comes back to us radiant with
an Intelligence that his white and venerable
head most ftly symbolzes he went out from
us .crushed, cringing, submissive, humble, he
returns to us full of dignity and courage; he
left us slave without rights, without coun-
try,ihe comes back our equal before the law and
