COLLISION WITH A LOCOMOTIVE.
Two Women Seriously Injured, Two Horses
Killed and Wagon Demolished.

Yesterday evening party Of
Mexicans, consisting of one man
and three women, who were re-
turning from the celebration in
this city, met with an accident, by
which two of the women, a girl and
a married woman, were seriously,
perhaps fatally, injured. When
near Rudio station the horses be-
came frightened at the locomotive
Of the train for Wilmington; and,
proving unmanageable. they SHE'D
over to the track and were struck
by the engine. Both horses were
killed, the wagon demolished and
the occupants thrown violently on
to the road. A vehicle was pro-
cured by the conductor of the train
and the injured persons sent to DR..
Kurtz, who sent them to the Sis
ters' Hospital, where he examined
their injuries. The unmarried
woman sustained a fracture of the
skull and other Injuries and will
probably die. The married woman
was hurt in the back aud the flesh
of one of her arms for some dis.
tance was cut open to the bone
Both sufferers remained uncon-
scious from the time of the acci-
dent until the Doctor left them.
We were unable to learn the names
of any of the party.

MEXICAN INDEPENDENCE.
a Patriotic Celebration and Grand Pro-
oession.

The procession yesterday in honor
of the anniversary of Mexican in
dependence was one of the largest
and most imposing that has ever
taken place in this city. The tri-
umphai car, the car of Justice and
that in which the representatives
OF the States of Mexico were seated
were all models of artistic taste and
reflect the highest credit on their
Designers. Indeed, the whole pa.
geant in every detail was carried
out In u manner that we have
rarely seen exeelled.
The celebration was commenced
by a salute and the singing of the
Mexican Hymn of Independence al
IL O'clock on Sunday night, after
which several patriotic addresses
were delivered. At 2 o'clock yes
terday afternoon the procession
formed and marched through the
principal streets In the following
order:

Music;
Carriage with the Orator of the Day;
Carriages with officers of the several Be-
nevoleut societies.

livered au address which, judging
from the frequent bursts of ap
plause with which IL was received,
was replete with patriotic senti.
ments and eloquent flights.
The days celebration was fit
tingly closed by grand ball at
Union Hall, at which the bellies and
beaux OF the Spanish race, with a
fair proportion Of Americans, en-
'yed themselves until the wee

INSANITY AND MATERNAL LovE.-It

INSANITY AND MATERNAL LOvE.-1t
has often been said, "The hearts memory
outlasts the minds" There is fine med
ical judgment in taking advantage of
this general fact, and silently wooiDg
back the reason of an insane mother, by
tempting her natural affection. The fol-
lowing touching case is reported in the
Staunton (Va) VindicdtOr:
Some months ago, lady was COM
mi,ted to the Western Lunatic Asylum
as patient, one phase of her insanity
being almost complete silence. She ap-
peared to know or notice no one. A few
days ago her little daughter, prattlcr
not vet two years old, which she had not
seen since she was bereft of her reason,
was brought to see her. The mother had
greatly altered in appearance, her hair
being cut off, and the change in her men
tai health had been reflected in her features
but the child sprang to her at once, and
clasping her around the knees, buried
her face in her dress, crying;
Its my mamma - my own, own
mammal
The mother hardly noticed the child,
but the little one climbed into her lap,
and commenced stroking her hair with
its little hands, all the time grooming,
my own mamma.
In little while the mother began to
notice it, and shortly the maternal feel
ing fully reasserted itself in close clasps
of recognition and affection. Since the
visit the patient has Undergone mark ed
improvement.

they must look to their paper as n

How all important then that thelr"paper
should be wisely chosen. One that shall
not only give the important political and
national news Of the day, but also contain
fresh rich lesson for every member OF
the household 1t is wisely said that
man can not read the Bible attentive,y
and honestly without becoming wiser and

not peruse a bad book without becoming
contaminated. Can a man handle char

which they are surrounded. Then let it

that Shakespeare ever wrote bears any

A Distressed Chinaman.

a late New York paper gives another
specimen of the droll accidents" always
happening to careless people in the neigh
borhood Of Gagged monkeys:
Around the monkeys cages and the
giraffes' pen in the Aquarium are posted
various notices to the ladies, warning
them not to approach too near, lest the
animals seize their bonnets; yet the at
PENDANTS say that it frequently occurs
that some lady disregards the notices, and
her millinery suffers damages. Yester-
day, however, those in the Aquarium were
startled by sudden crash of broken
china from the monkeys room, and, has
tening thither, were greeted with re-
markable sight.
The noise, or so much of it as did not
consist of the chattcring of the animals,
came from the mouth of an Acknowledged
Chinese gentleman, in blue blouse and
black tr0wsers. He stood with his back
to the cage in which the largest monkeys
are kept, and, with both his hands to his
head, was struggling to tear himself away.
He was firmly held, however, by the pig
tail, which, firmly attached by nature to
the back of his head by enc end, was al
most as firmly grasped at the other by as
many monkeys as could get hold of it.
The one at the tip end nibblcd compla-

lie did the best he could, however, with
the imperfect language he did know. AS
quickly as they could, from laugh
ter, the attendants opened the cage
door, and one entering, beat off the mon
keys and rescued the gentleman. He
shook his fist vindictively at the cage, and
hurried away without leaving his card,

all the birds to join The chorus.

BEAUTIFUL WoMEN.-Onc thing may
be particularly noticed in English women.
The mouth, when beautiful, is absolutely
statuesque. The curves are decided, and
at the iuucture of the red of "the lips
with the white, there is a delicateIy
raised outline which marks the form of
the feature in very noble way. This
may also be said of the nostfil. 1t gives
a chiseled effect to those features, which
is not so often found elsewhere; but the
nose itself, the brow, and the set and
carriage of the head are geAerally finer
among Americans.
In both countries, however, the head Is
apt to be too large for perfect proportion.
This is a characteristic defect Of the EGG
fish type of beauty. Then, again, the
ar,iculations are heavy. Really fine arms
are rare; but fine wrists are still rarer.
Such wrist as the Viennoisc women
have are almost unknown among women
of English race in either country. 1t is
often said, even in England, that Ameri-
can women have more beautiful feet
than English women have. This may be
doubted. The feet may he sma,Ier, but
they generally look smaller because Eng
lish women wear larger and heavier shoes.
