It ia well known among the objects
of interest 10 this city there are none
which attract more attention than the
"eld home" and the tomb Of the la
mented Lincoln. That either Of them
should fail to have proper care taken
of them is simply culpable, either on
the part of the owners or the city. Ii
the owners of the former residence
fail to have it occupied by esFeful
tenant and saved from the danger to
which it is constantly exposed from
the tramps infesting us, and the low,
down brutishness found so plentiful
among both sexes and among both
colors in our city, they are at least
deserving Of public approbium. Be
cause of the building being vacant the
owner is to be censured; while the
city authorities should have at least
respect enough for spot Of so much
interest to the thousands who visit
our city annually to have it sufficient
ly under the eye of the police to guard

Yesterday morning, when about to

and instituted search. The windows
of the back portion Of the house
which had been closed by some Of the
neighbors outofrespect for the place
were found open. 1t is true there was
no one found in the house, which was
hardly expected after an unguardeo
suggestion made the morning
before in the papers that the police
would calaboose as Vagrants any person
caught about the premises without,
reasonable excuse. We think if thu

ROME, November 30.-In the cham
Der of deputies the debate on the
policy Of the cabinet was resumed.
Premier Cairole called upon the house
to give the government compact a ma
jority which would permit the cabinet
to accomplish the promised reform.
The general debate then closed and
several orders of the day were pro-
posed, which will be considered at the
next meeting.
LONDON, November 30.-The Times
says the appointment of Mr.. Shaw
Lefere secretary to the admiralty as
first commissioner of works, is signi6-
can't. His views in regard to the Irish
land are we'll known. He has made
himself the special champion of clauses
Of the land act of 1870, intended to
facilitate the purchase of holdings by
occupiers. In conducting Irish meas
ures, especially, he will doubtless
prove an able lieutenant to Gladstone
and Forster.

Terrible Railrond AoOl,lent.

MACON, GA, November 29.-Early
yesterday morning passenger train
on the Georgia Central broke in half
twelve miles from Macon. The steam
brakes stopped the rear half on the
down grade. A heavy freight train
followed and telescoped a sleeper half
way, killing the engineer. The presi.
dent of the Central road, Mr.. M.
Wadley, and Vice President Paoul,
who were in the sleeping car, escaped
through the windows. Several passen-
gers we're hurt, but none fatally. A
few moments after the collision a sec
ond heavy freight train ran into the
middle train, smashing the cars into
fragments. Engineer Crosby, Of the
middle train was found with his hand
on the reversed lever. He was
jammed against the hot boiler by a
freight car leaping over the tender.
He was disembowelled and roasted.
The other engineers and fremen leap
ed and we're saved. Matt Freeman,
from Macon, was badly cut in the
head by fragment from a car seat
and Mr.. Paoul had an ankle sprained
The accident occurred on a steep
grade, where o train could not be
checked.

JOKE
At the Expense of Col. John ii.
Savage.

Yesterdays Nashville Banner says:
Col. Savage, who has been in the
city several days, entered the station
berber shop yesterday morning and de-
manded to be shaved. The stiff beard
was removed from his face with the
keen razor, and the tonsorialist made
preparation to dress the colonel's hair.
Alter rubbing few drops Of muddy
water, he filled the hollow of his hand
with oil and commenced to rub that in
also. The colonel drew a few quick
sniffs through his nose, much after
the fashion of an Englishman taking
snuff, and then arose like awhirlwind
tearing the towel from around his
neck, kicking over a couple of spit
toons, and demanding of the barber to
know what he meant by putting that
vile stuff on his head.
II beg pardon" said the barber, 81
thought you used oil on your hair"
''Pardonl Pardonl you dad gusted
idiot Who do you think | am? Do
you take me for a dad blasted fool?"
shrieked the colonel.
And the barber answered, soft and
low
"Well, | wouldn't have sayd it, but
since you ask my o-pin-yun, | hafe to
say dat | am not pre- pared to deny it. +"
The last seen of the colonel he was
bending over a bath tub in an opposi-
tion shop, having his locks relieved of
their over supply Of bears grease.
