JACKSON, Miss, Nov. 7, 1879.
To the Pastors of Protestant Churches in
Mississippi:
The Protestant Orphan Asylum
at Natchez is now in the sixty
fourth year of its existence. 1t
has been sustained mainly through
the efforts of the ladies of that
city, and by the contributions of
its generous people. During the
last few years the Masonic frater-
nifty of the State has aided in the
good work. The undersigned has
several times visited the asylum,
and after thorough inquiry inta it's
past history and present mbnage-
ment, does most heartily recon-
mend Il to the favorable consider.
alton 0t our people. Orphan ehils
dren are received there, regardless
of locality or creed, and are cared
for and educated until suitable
homes can be provided for them.
There are about fifty children
there now. The asylum has no en-
dowment or other certain income,
and is entirely dependent upon
public charity. 1t is believed that
many would cheerfully contribute
to the support of this asylum If
Informed OF its necessities. Its
treasury is nearly empty, and it is
suggested that the pastors of the
several Protestant churches
throughout the State give their
congregations an opportunity to
make IL thanksgiving Offering that
will relieve the anxiety Of the lady
managers, and insure the support
OF the asylum for the winter
months. let q collection for this
purpose be taken up at the close of
the thanksgiving discourse, and
where; tor any cause, thanksgiving
services are not observed, let col.
lection be taken up in the respect

FEARFUL RAILROAD ACCIDENT
GRANT SHELLED WITH BAD EGGS
-MONSTROSITIES IN HUMANITY
AND BEASTS-POLITICS, ETC.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Nov. %, 1879.
Editor Democrat Star:
a trightful catastrophe occurred
on Saturday night last near the
thriving little town of st. Charles,
Mo-, which is about twenty miles
from here. One of the immense
spands of the great iron bridge,
which crosses the river at that
point broke through, precipitating
Il cabo0se and seventeen cars load
ed with cattle and hogs, into the
rushing river below; which result
ed in the loss of nearly all the live
stock, and the death of five of the
employees and stockmen and the
serious wounding OF five more.
The engine had passed over and
was going with such speed that
the coupling of the next car broke
as the rest ot the train went down,
The entire length of the bridge
and its approaches was 6540 feet
and was 80 feet above the river.
1t was finished III 1871 and cost the
company S2,00O,O00. The aggre-
gate damage to the bridge and the
loss of cars and stock is estimated
at least 100000.
The people Of St. Louis are much
afraid that the great number of de-
caying animals now in the river
will seriously affect the drinking
water and cause much sickness in
the city.
Gen. Grant was struck in the
head with rotten egg few days
since, as he stood upon the plat
form of the car bowing to the citi.
zens of Galesburg, ILL.,, whereupon
he ceased bowipg and beat hasty
retreat. The Grant boom don't
boom worth cent in that place.
This is the same town where the
people bombarded with bricks the
car that carried Il. B. Hayes |
through there soon after he was
declared president by the electoral

the great lOyaL State of Illinois.
The steamer Belle of st. Louis,
of the anchor line struck snag
and sunk near island number 40.
No lives were lost, but she and her
large cargo will probably be total
loss, as she went down i'll fifteen
feet of water.
Your correspondent saw and
conversed with man at the Laclede
hotel yesterday, who was twenty
four years of age, was four feet
high, weighed tifty-four pounds,
and whose head measured sixteen
inches in diameter one way and
twelve inches TIE other. His head
is so large and heavy that he has
never been able to hold it up of

Tie helpless prisoner was Secured
to the boards M Bony directed, and
Angel crawled through the window
-neglecting, however, to rake the
oil can; but that was no matter.
Old Bony had thrown in more pine,
and the locomotive Was belcliing
forth cloud of black smoke,
which was trailed out over the train
like the tail of an inky comet.
The glaring staring, Cyclopean eye
of the engine was boring and tun-
neling through the darkness, plow-
ing path through the night for
the head and body to Which it be-
longed. Looking backward; Bob
Angel saw II vision that made his
heart stand still, and lie grasped
the handrail more firmly, that a
sudden sickness might not cause
him to fall.
This is what they saw: The fire
door had been thrown open, and
the intense light therefrom stream
ed upon the black cloud of smoke,
and upon the dense foliage by the
way yside, and upon the screen on
which would be projected the
shadows or interposing bodies.
And he did see strange shadows,
magnitied into gigantic proportions
-trighttul shadows they were, that
surged through the forest or were
suspended in the smoke. 1t seemed
to Angel that the gate of hell was
open and that the shadows he saw
were made by demons dancing be.
fore sulphurous flames and reveling
in a saturnalia of blood. One de-
mon, larger and more frightful
than the others, ten times as tero-
cious, IL thousand times as hideous,
with short legs and gigantic body,
with Il round head, and a neck like
a bulls, with arms as long as the
wings of windmill; this monster,
this king among demons, seemed
to have just returned from earth,
for he bore in his arms what might |
have been Il human soul, lashed to |
4 board. 1t seemed from the shad- |
ows that he laid his helpless victim
at the edge of the opening through |
which issued the binding rays
from the unquenchable fire, and
that he raised his arms in wild ex.
nltation as though invoking the
of Satan for having per,
formed his work so faithfully. This
while every muscle and
bone seemed to expand into dis
tended proportions, grasped his
burden and raised it aloft-the
flames seemed to roar AMI crackle
and cape longingly for
the soul they were to devonr. The
brliancy Of this was suddenly OBJ
Scured. Something must have been
thrown through the orifice-
through the gate of hell-but the
intensity was Immediately resumed,
displaying the demon leaning over,
his great, naked arm stretched
across the opening, as il to be
reaching to close the gate; then
the shadows became con
fused-sOme topping and falling to
the ground, others chasing each
other beyond the vision into the
tores t-and all was darkness again
