A Strange Prssentimsnt.

n late number of the Louisiana Jour
nal says Ernest, bright boy of seven
years, eldest son of Mr. Samuel Templeton,
gatekeeper ON the Prsirieyille gravel road.
just below this city, met with an accident
on Thursday Of last week which resulted
in his death soon afterward. About noon
on that day he mounted wagon loaded
with wood, with the intention of unloading
it. The lad seized stick and was 10 the
act of throwing it to the ground, when he
lost his equilibrium and fell, head foremost
to the earth His cries brought his father to
his assistance, who led him to the house.
The boy did not seem to be much injured.
He was conscious, explained to his father
how he fell, pointed out his bruises, and
eonyersed nationally for an hour, when he
suddenly lost consciousness and remained
in that condition until his death, which
occurred about six hours after the accident.
The night preceding the above sad ac-
cident Mrs. Templeton, the mother of the
child, had strange presen:iment of his
death. Early in the evening, while the
child was asleep, she approached his little
bed, and looking earnestly into his face,
burst into tears.
The grief with which she was overcome
was intense and uncomfortable. 1t at
tracted her husbands attention, who in
quired its cause. Samuel, the weeping
mother answered, II don't think we will
ever raise this child. II can see no cause
for your fears replied the father, 'sthe
child is as healthy as can be-"
But this answer did not satisfy the
mother, for dark cloud hung over her.
Her heart beat rapidly and heavily.
Strange shadows crossed her vision; an un-
seen grief oppressed her; the pressage of
some horrible coming event cast burden
on her soul she scarce could bear.
At the usual hour the sobbing mother
retired, but her rest was uneasy. Toward
midnight she arose from her bed and again
sought the couch of her boy, who slept the
deep, sweet sleep of innocent childhood.
all unconscious of tie grief stricken moth
er who bent over him, bathing his face
with tears and kisses.
Mr.. Templeton expOstulated with his
wife, and assured her that her fears were a
mere within, aud begged her to calm her
grief and go to sleep. But no sleep came
to that mothers relief that night, and day
broke to bring her no respite from the sad
burden her bleeding heart bore. The
slightest unusual noise about the house
thrilled her with evil forebodings, and
thus the weary hours dragged ON until
the foreshadowed end came in the accident
as above related.

Postal Cards.


Nothing is easier than to send secret
messages on postal cards, by using what is
called Sympathetic ink, which makes an
invisible writing until developed. Chem
istry teaches multitude of such inks; for
instance, write with weak solution of BIZ
chromate of potash. If the receiver of
the postal card dips it into decoction Of
logwood, or a solution of logwood extract,
the letters will at once become black. If
it is written with a solution of the yellow
ferry cyanid of potassaid, it has only to be
washed over with solution OF sulphate of
iron to make blue letters, or sulphate of
copper to make reddish brown letters.
When written on with solution of acetate
of lead or lead-sugar, the receiver has only
TO expose the card to sui phurous vapors,
such as are developed when sulphuret of
iron is moistened with diluted sulphuric
acid, to cause black letters to appear If
written on with soluble salt of arsenic.
the same sulphurous vapors will develop
yellow letters, and if written on with a
soluble salt of anthony, orange-red letters
will appear. If done with a solution of
nitrate or Chord of Michel, the receiver
has only to warm the card before fire or
stove, when green letters will appear; if
nitrate or Chord of cobalt is used, red
letters will appear; with chlorid of copper,
blueish letters. 1t is well to put into these
solutions very little gum or sugar: the
beauty of the letter substances is that on
cooling the writing disappears again. Even
milk alone can be used for writing, which
becomes visible on being warmed; this is,
perhaps, the simplest method, but not
quite so satisfactory in its results.

An Aeronaut's Horrible Death.


On the fourth of July, 1873, Prof. La.
Mountain made an ascension from Ionia,
Michigan. The arrangement of the ropes
before the balloon started were thought to
be wrong, but the professor thought every
thing was all right. There was tremen-
dous crowd present Immediately after
leaving the ground the mouth of the can
vass began to flop round with great vio-
lenee When half n mile from the earth
the balloon slipped between the ropes and
was instantly inverted. The car and its
occupant dropped like a shot, With the
most terrific velocity the unfortunate man
descended, clinging to the basket, qhat
he was conscious was evident from his
struggles. He strove to raise the basket
above him, evidently hoping to use it as
parachute. He succeeded in his object,
but when about one hundred feet high he
looscd his hold, folded his hand and arms
before his face, and, feet first, struck the
ground With o dull, heavy thud Then
ensued panic among the multitude almost
indescribable Women fainted, meg wept,
and to add to the confusion the canvass
came flying over the crowd like huge
bird. Some cried get out of the way, as
it would fall with crushing force. At this
a general rush was made for safety, in
which many were injured and some for
life LaMolntain was crushed into a lit
eral pulp. Not sign of motion of life
was visible when his body was reached.
Medical examination disclcses the fact that
hardly a whole bone was left Many
were ground and splintered to powder
His jaws fell upon his arms and were
pulverized Where he struck there was
an indention made in the hard gravel
ground ofseveral inches deep. The corpse
was laid out in the public square and view
ed by thousands.

POSTING UP FOR 1890.

The organs of both political parties are
wasting vast deal of speculation and fi,-
urework on the probable complexion of the
next House, and the power of parties in
the same body by States, in case the next
Presidential contest should be thrown into
Congress by the failure to give any candi-
date a majority of the whole electoral
vote. The practical view of all questions
relating to the control of the next Presi-
dency is to calculate the relative mower
OF the opposing parties to give themselves
victory, whether they fairly win it or not.
Since the successful overthrow of Mr.. TIL
den after he had been chosen President
by quarter of million popular majority
and decided preponderance of the Elec-
toral College, neither party will fail to en-
Pioy any and every agency to secure the
next Presidency. The louisiana and
Florida frauds of 1876 were a fearful
sowing of dragons teeth that promises
abundant harvests in the future, and figs
wont be gathered from thistles.
The next Senate and House will both he
Democratic. Allowing for all possible
losses and the most favorable division that
can be made Of the Nationals against the
Democrats, there must be from ten to IF
teen Democratic majority in the House:
or, allowing the whole National strength
to stand aside by itself, the Democrats will
have small but safe working majority
over all for the purpose Of organizing the
body They have the Clerk, with a Re
publican statute framed to squelch trou-
blesome minority, and these Omnipotent
agencies will resolve all doubts in favor of
the Democrats. Once organized with n
Democratic Speaker and Clerk, and the
Senate IN accord with the popular branch,
1t will be an easy task TO add to the Dem
ocratic majority out of the numerous con-
tests, until the party feels safe enough to
stop. The Republican preeedents of If
teen years teach the Democrats so much,
and it can't be denied that they are apt
pupils, as the records of the present and
last House abundantly prove. 1t matters
not, therefore, how California shall vote
for Congressman next year to complete the
roll OF the House; the Democrats are GER
tain to be in the supremacy.
While it is quite improbable that any
third party can be strong enough in 1880
to carry any State and thus throw the
election into the House, the remote posi-
bility of such result makes the complex
ion of the House by States command the
attention of politicians. 1t case of the
failure Of the Electoral College to give any
Presidential candidate majority of the
whole vote, the three highest candidates
are sent to the House, and each State then
casts one vote as directed by majority of
its delegation, aud majority of the States,
without regard to population or representa-
ton in the House, elects a President, as
John Quincy Adams was elected over
jackson aud Crawford in 1925. The fol-
lowing table exhibits the political cIassif-
tion of the States, in such contest, ex.
elusive of California that has yet to elect
Congressman, and it also presents the
electoral vote as it would DO cast BY the
electiona of 1873,

Workers Underground.

It is not generally known to what ex-
tent we are indebted TO worms for the
productiveness of our gardens and fields.
1t has been found by series of expert
ments carried out by German naturalist
that the tunnels made by worms into the
earth are frequently of much service to
plants whose roots occupy the channels
that have thus been made. The mold of
our gardens, and fields too, is improved
to an almost inconceivable extent by the
burrowiug of these humble insects. Each
worm, in less than a week, passes its own
weight in mold, and the soil thus produced
is fine and light, and extremely helpful to
the growth of plants Whep it is remem-
bered that there are in every acre some
81 900 worms and that in addition to form
Ing every day about thirty-seven pounds
Of fine mold they open up the subsoil and
render it fertile, We shall gain some slight
conception of our Indebtedness to these
apparently quiet, Insignificant and gencr-
ally unthoughtof little workers
