The Darky,s Land orpromise.

There is a current legend among the.
country female darkies hercabouts
that Kansas is a land where peace,
plenty and nothing to do is the ruling
feature that dusky skinned citizens
Of the feminine gender sit at ease be-
meath their own vine and shade, with
a.small hired girl to fan them to repose,
and that they can enjoy themselves
the live-long day in the most delight,
full manner, without care and free
from work of all kinds. The Kansas
fever has struck tho colored folks all
over, but as yet no serious effects have
resulted hereabouts, except to render
the colored people worthless as labor
ers, and to check all inclination 10
hire themselves ont for the ensuing
cropping season.

harness and to rule. Stones entry.

DEATH ON THE RAu.
Two Accidents and the Engineers
Killed at Their Posts.
0ns Near Brownsville, Tenn, the Other
Below HazeIhurst, Mlss...-HOw
They Happened, Etc.

As the freight train due here at (
o'clock yesterday afternoon, on the
Louisville railroad, was passing over
the second trestle the other side of
Hatchie river bridge, and about fifty
one miles from here, the engine and
several cars fell through, causing the
instant death Of Frank Reilly, the
engineer, and injuring fireman Ed Fox
aud brakeman A. B. Taylor. No
other persons were hurt. The cause
Of the accident is a mystery. All of
the usual signals are reported to have
been observed, and the bridgemen
had exercised their usual care. The
engine is said to have been badly
broken, but the cars were not much
damaged. The train outward bound
last night did not start from this city.
This morning train No. , left as usual
and was expected to go through with
out detention. The train due this
afternoon will not be delayed, SO it is
reported.
ANOTHER ACCIDENT.
just before daylight yesterday morn
ing as mail train No. l was coming up
the New Orleans and Chicago road, a
short distance south of Hazelhurst,
and thirty miles south of Jackson,
Miss, the engine and three cars
jumped the track and wero wrecked.
The engineer, Mr.. Andrew Caldwell,
we'll known here, and formerly on the
Little Rock road, was killed. The bag
gage master was seriously hurt and sew
eral passengers received slight bruises,
but none were badly hurt. The entire
train underwent a lively shaking up,
and the engine is reported to be totally
demolished. The cause of the acct
dent was the displacement Of a rail,
supposed to have been the work OF
some miscreant, either to revenge a
tancied slight or for the purpose of
robbery. A wretch who would perpe-
trate so diabolical an act whereby in
nocent persons are thus manned or
killed, if caught deserves no mercy at
the hands of his fellow beings. 1t is
to be hoped the murderous scoundrel
will be discovered and befttingly pun
ished.

Cutting Glass With Scissors.

Many persons may not be aware that
great ease, TO almost any shape, by
simply using pair of shears or strong
scissors. In order to insure success,
two points must be attended to-first
and most important, the glass must be
kept quite level in the water while the
scissors are applied; and secondly, to
avoid risk, it is better to begin the cut
ting by taking off small pieces at the
corners and along the edges, and so re.
duce the shape gradually to that re-
quired, as if any attempt is made to cut
the glass all at once to the shape, as we
should cut piece of card board, it will
most likely break Just where it is not
wanted. Some kinds IF glass would
cut much better than others, the softer
glass being the best for this purpose.
The scissors need not be at all sharp,
as their action does not appear to de-
pend on the state of the edge presented
to the glass. When the operation goes
on well the glass breaks away from the
scissors in small pieces in a straight
line with the blades. This method OF
cutting glass has often been of service,
when diamond has not been at hand,
for cutting ovals and segments, and
though the edges are not SO smooth as
might be desired for some purposes, vet
it will answer in a great many cases.
The two hints given above, il strict
ly followed, will always insure sue
