A HORRIBLE ACCIDENT.
MIS-. Patrick Sanford Accidentally
Shoots her Little ChIId's Brains
Out Carrying Concealed
weapons the HaDIess
Cause of the Shock
ing Tragedy.

jackson (Tenn.) Tribune and Sun, 5th {:
Last Monday the wife OF Mr.. Patrick San
ford, who lives about two and one-half miles
from Pmson, IN the seventeenth civil district
met with one of the bltterest misfortunes
that ever befel q mother. She was Needing
pair of trousers for one of her sons, who is
well-grown, and her little three-year-old boy
was playing around her with all the winsome
grace and innocent glee of childhood's happy
years. While the happy mother was mend
ing the trousers, in turning them over small
pocket-pistol fell from the pocket where
it was concealed and rolled on the floor.
The little child seeing 1t, recognized 1t,
as the older brothers. pistol, and in It's child
ISL prattle called it 'buddies pistol The
mother picked it up, and she says it looked
like 1t was IN two pieces She attempted to
put 1T back together as she thought it ought
to be, and it was discharged in her hand, the
ball striking the little child at her side, in
the center of the forehead, and killing him
instantly. DE-. n. A. M'Coy was sent for
and examined the wound. The ball went
crashing through the brain and cut the )rd
of life as quick as thought. God be merciful
to the poor mother. The bitter anguish of
her soul In that moment, the terrible picture
which stamped itself upon her memory in
that instant will constitute the rooted sorrow
Of her life. What sad commentary this
occurrence furnishes upon the vicious
and barbarous practice OF carrying
concealed weapons. The unfortunate
brother who was the cause Of this fear
fui tragedy, of course, is DO more to blame
for carrying the pistol than the hundreds of
young men who carry pistols concealed or
their persons. He has our sympsthies. This
horrible catastrophe should remind our young
men generally to respect the law of the land
on this subject, rather than the damnable
custom of going about armed, either against
the lives of their fellow-man, or IN a careless
spirit OF braggadocio. Our law-ofiicers should
root out this crying evil by making it odious
aud disgraceful. few Incarcerations In the
county Jails all over the State would be a
blessing TO society "

sENsATrONAL eUrDSUNCs

During the war there was a class of news
mongers, who were always hunting for some
thing to create a sensation. Every day they
suuffed danger from afar, and kept the COM
munity in which they lived in constant COM
motion and trepidaton, by announcing that
the enemy was coming. These creatures
greatly enjoyed the furry and hubbub created
by their falsehoods. The same gossipers are
looking around, rummaging, ransacking and
prying into every corner, crack and creVice,
with the view Of discovering a pretext for
creating a-yellow-fever sensation. They have
managed already to get up two or three
panics IN a small way, and if people are
silly enough to listen to these idle gabblers,
they will for the next four months be kept in
a state of constant fermentation. 1t Is the
duty of the police of Memphis, and the Off
Gals Of the country, to arrest and punish
these manufacturers and retailers OF sensa-
tional fslsehoods. They disturb the peace and
quiet of the country, interfere with the lu-
dustry and great business interests of the
community, and often cause great inconveni-
ence and expense to the timid and credulous
ready to believe any report put in circulation.
Notwithstanding the reports circulated by
these sensational tattlers, it is settled beyond
question that no yellow-fever has vet made
It's appearance in the south this season. Last
summer the APPEAL sounded The note of
alarm, when there was occasion for 1t, and it
will do 50 again. We assure our readers
that we will. from day to day, make diligent
inquiry, and withhold no news concerning the
yellow-tever, whether it makes its appearance
IN this or other southern cities Information
from New Orleans, by the newspapers, the
physicians, the board of health and private
sources, concur in announcing the
city free from fevers of ev-
cry description, and that there
never was less tendency to yellow fever than
at present. The death rate in New
Orleans, as In Memphis, has been lower
than 1t has been IN former healthy
years. This is accounted for by the severe
winter, cool spring and favoring rams. Great
sanitary precautions have been taken, and
strct quarantine will be enforced. We be-
heve that the horrors of last year will never
again be witnessed in Memphis. There Is
every reason for believing that we will have

The IstbmluB Canal

New York Herald: 'The choice of the
Panama route, advocated by Lieutenant
Wyse. calls attention to the line across the
isthmus followed by the railway. There have
been two canal routes surveyed across the de-
partments of Colon and Panama, In the
lautlc at Navy bay and terminate in the
Gulf of Panama. The two projects are so
nearly alike that they can be treated as one,
the oaly difference being at the Pacific side,
where a slight change In direction adds one
mile to the total length. For ali practical
purposes these routes follow the Panama
railway. They traverse an inhabited region.
The first project contemplates canal
Eeventy-two kliometers il length, and re-
quires excavation to the amount OF thirty
seven million cubic meters, and filing equal
to FIVE million cubic meters. Twenty-Five
locks will have to be constructed. It was ex-
amined BY Farella in 1843. Totten In 1852,
and the American commission, under Lull,
in 1875. The cost of the lock route Is placed
by the report of the sub. committee on con-
Etruction. given above, at one hundred and
sixty million dollars, and the work can be
completed in six years. The latter project,
and the one championed 10y Lieutenant
Wyse, contemplates a canal seventy two
kilometers long, forty-seven million cubic
meters of excavation, and, In place of the
locks, a tunnel six kilometers IN length. It
Is the heroic treatment of the first project.
The tunnel is the new feature suggested by
the international commission of 1878, and
supplemented by new surveys By Lieutenant
Wyse. Its cost will be about the same as
the other projects, and it will require an
equal length OF time. The Panama railway
Company would have to be paid an indem-
nifty, as it processes franchise emitting it to
DO all the transportation business across that
part of the isthmus"

A NOBLE EXAMPLE.
A Young Girl, ON her Death-Red. BE-
Queathes One Hundred Dollars OF
her Savings to the Woman,s
Missionary Society.

From Greenville Mississippi, correspond
ent to the Memphis Western Methodist: Just
at the closing of the year, seemingly like
a smile of benedction from the Father,
comes to US as a precious gift-not large
In amount, as some calculate, not to be
measured by its intrinsic value, but accord
ing to the estimate of Him who weigheth by
his own standard. A few words will tell the
simple, pathetic story. In the town of
Greenville, Mississippi, lived a lovely young
girl, consecrated in heart and purpose to the
Masters will; always Astounding In good
works, full OF energy and zeal for missions,
but yet fragile as a tropical plant. Dur
ing the passage of the fearful scourge
over portions of the south last au-
tumn, the destroying angel fingered
over her devoted home until there we're not
left enough living to bury the dead. This
pure young sister fell before deaths sickle.
But, writes loving friend, "before yellow
fever had fairly fastened itself upon her, she
bred dollars of her self-earned money-made
by teaching a little school-be given 10 the
Woman g missionary society, " to aid In doing
what she would have gladly done. had life
been spared. The sum has been duly sent,
and thus the Woman's missionary society, OF
the Methodist Episcopal church, south, re-
caves Its hrst bequest-baptlZad with pray
ers, sanctihed through the surroundings and
hallowed by blessed memories. Like the
"alabaster box of precious ointment" may
its perfume fill the whole church, quickenlng
the hearts of our southern sisters, and when
ever the name of Helen NJ. Finlay is spoken,
''let this be told as a memorial of her.

desperate struggle for Life.

Dayton (Ohio) Journal Mr.. VIM. But
Ter, an employe of Stoddard's rake factory,
had narrow escape from terrible death
yesterday. As he stood on ladder in the
rafting room, shifting belt from a pulley,
a set-screw in the shaft caught in his clothes
and began to wind them up. The shaft is
within two feet of the ceIinQ of the room
and is ten feet from the floor. As the clothes
wound up, pulling him to the shaft, he
braced his feet against the wall with all his
power, and held himself there until his
clothes tore off him. The collar-ban of his
shirt was SO strong that it very near choked
him before it tore. He was drawn SO close
that the shaft rasped the skin from his
breast When the clothes tore of he drop
ped to the floor. He never uttered cry, and
none Of the other men in the shop knew of
his danger until the struggle was over,
though he was separated from them by only
q thin board partition. He was carried to
his home on Garden street, where DIR. Hayes
dressed his bruises, of which he has a num-
Der. The shock to his nervous system was
also very severe"

Nashville correspondence of the New York
Herald: Calling 10 see Mrs. Polk, | was
shown into a beautiful drawing room, recent
ly refurnished, full of everything attractive
and pretty, much of which is also interesting
from an historical point of view. Upon the
walls are several portraits of both Mr.. Polk
and his wife, the most youthful of which
were painted by Mr.. Earle, the artist, who
now lies buried at the Hermitage. The most
recent is one painted a year ago of Mrs.
Polka beautiful and lIfe-like picture. Over
the mantel are three large, handsome frames,
including the inaugural address of Mr.. Polk
when governor, his first message when Presl-
dent, and an inaugural address printed on
white SATIN. These, as | was afterward told,
were placed in their present position by
President Polk, who designed the room for
his library. Although they have been re-
moved occasionally to allow papering and
painting to be done IN the rooms, they have
always been replaced in the same positions
By the time this inspection was pretty well
accomplished Mrs. Polk entered the room,
followed by Mrs. g. w. Fall. The hand of
time mas touched her lightly-the in6rmlties
of age seem not to have overtaken her. Her
step was brisk and almost elastic, her voice
full and clear, and stranger would be as
tonished to hear her remark as she did dur
ing the evening, with degree of pride and
pleasure, that she was seVenty-hve years old.
The lady attire was black, which she has
ever worn since left In wIdowhood, with
black and white tulle head dress, white
ruche at the throat and elegant pearl like
ness of her husband as pin. The addition
of black hid gloves completed her toilet.
She was afable and cordial in her greeting,
as she ever is, and every word she spoke
evinced that the established opinion of her
as being thoroughly courteous as well as
distinguished lady is a correct one. No one
could see her without being charmed with
the dignity of her manner"

He finds all knowledge to be relative, mere
cogniz ance of phenomena, of absolute exis-
tence he knows no more than the worm. The
very earth on which he stands has lost its
frmness and become unsubstantial, for no
scientist can tell that one particle of matter
is in being-the veil of Isis no mortal has yet
lifted Does< matter exist?-don't know.
Does God?-He is the unknowabIe. Is
man immortal ?-can't tell; and 50 science
goes on confessing ignorance of all that
throws light upon the whence, the why, and
the whittier. Why is science so ignorant
upon the questions that concern mans spirit
ual nature, and OF the causes that lie at the
back of its existence? Because science has
no demonstrate facts to gu ide it in these
matters. The disappointed neophyte finds
the Confusion worse confounded when he
finds the very fundamentals Of science just
as scientifically undemonstrable as those he
has been led to reject. Matter, gravity
what are they? None 'can' tell, and
with respect to all such ultimate facts
or existences, the physicist acknowledges
that they are to US words, the meaning of
which We do not know-they are to US the
Ky rs Of the aigebraic equations, but unlike
those unknown quantities they are, and ever
must be, insolvable and unknown. We must
not infer a creator Co account for nature, but
when it was proved that light was not thing
emitted from the sun, but vibration set in
motion by it, and it was perceived that vibra-
ton required something to vibrate, then it
was inferred that there Is an ethereal SUBJ
stance" filing space, by means of which the
vibrations are transmitted. So the neophyte
discovers abundance of differences regarded
as sufficient basis for scientific purposes,
which, when equally strong, must be rejected
when used in spiritual teaching. Judging
the teaching opposed TO religion, we see shat
it is perfectly incompetent to account for the
whence, the why and the whittier. Religion
does answer those questions, whether we'll or
i'll is matter for inquiry, aad the guide in that
is the result-has its teachings, its influences,
its hopes, fears and aims made the world the

why Don't the North Eject Negroes to

Cincinnati Enquirer: "Ben Perley Foore,

Fred Douglass admission that colored mem
Gers in congress have not been altogether a
success: This is frank admission of the
incompetency which has been displayed by
colored congressman, with the exception of
Senator Bruce and Representatives Elliott and
Rainey. They were entirely untitled for the
positions which they were accidentally called
upon to occupy, and their presence here was
as prejudicial to the interests of their race as
the colored blatherskites who were always
growing because they were not So
cially recognized, forgetting that

receptions Yes, but the white oyster-deal-
era and clothes cleaners were not members
of congress, and, therefore, could not look
for the social and official courtesies those Dig
nitaries expect to be shown them on account
of their official position. But why do not the
Republicans elect such colored men to con-
gress against whom the charge of blather-
sixties cannot be justly made? There must
certainly be some in the northern, if not IN
the southern States. Poore Is simply offer
ing an excuse for Republicans not electing
colored men to congress, and a very poor ex-

very damaging reflection on the progress, in

Enater and the arnIinn.-

New York Sun: ''Mr. Charles Foster, the
Republican candidate for governor of Ohio.
has been making brief visit to this city. IL
is a little curious that the first thing after
being nominated for governor of Ohio, Mr..
Foster should betake himself to this city
New York, to be sure, is the center of finance.
Mr. Foster is banker. He is the candidate
of Mr.. Sherman. the secretary of the treas
ury. The men who have made money
millions of the friendship of Mr.. Sher
man, reside here. We mean that Mr.. Fos-
ter came on to close up his banking business,
and to caution these friends of Mr.. Sherman
that they ought not TO contribute any funds
to aid him before entering on the active cam
paen in his own State. Some of our cotem-
poraries interviewed Mr.. Foster while he was
here. 1t is evident from the tone Of his con-
versation that ne depends for his success
upon rekindling the spirit of the war, and
revlving all it's bitterness. 1t will be the
fault of the Democrats if the Republicans
are permitted to do this-especially In the
Presidential election. With John NJ. Palmer,
Union soldier. or David Davis, Lincoln 5
bosom friend and executor, on the Democrat
ic ticket, either In the first or second place,
this would seem to be impossible"
