whole train of cars on the More!os rail
road ran into the river San Antonio near
Cuantla, Mexico, last Friday night, owing to
the undermining of a bridge by a freshet.
The passengers were battalion of soldiers.
The latest accounts of the disaster report that
u officers and 1871 privates were killed. This
list does not include the railroad officials and
employees, or the women and children of the
soldiers, many of whom were on the train
The engineer and fireman were scalded to
death. Only 60 persons in all were saved
alive and of these IL were more or less injur-
ed. The disaster occurred at IL p NJ, as the
train, which was long one, and drawn by
two engines, was passing over the wooden
bridge For moment after the plunge of
the cars from the bridge all was darkness
Suddenly leo barrels Of brandy loaded on
two of the vans caught fire, and the burning
fluid inundated the mass of passengers strug-
Cling in the ruins. Only few who were not
disabled or hopelessly wedged in the timbers
escaped The dead and living were wrapt in
sheet of flame, and slowly burned before
the eyes of the survivors, who were unable to
save them. The road had been running less
than week. Never in the history of the
republic has SO frightful n disaster been
chronicled, and its occurrence, it is feared,
may still further prejudice the popular mind
against railroad enterprises.
Later news says that in addition to the kill
ed previously reported are 81 women and five
children, mostly wives and children of the
soldiers. The authorities of Morelos have
been officially informed that the accident was
caused by one of the officers, who fearing
the soldiers would desert, compelled, pistol
in hand, the engineer to go forward, in spite
of his reluctance on account of the heavy
rain and the intense darkness.

1t is sometimes asked what woul be the
result If a comet and the earth were to come
into collision. The chances of such an oc-
currence are, however, so slight that practi-
cally a collision is impossible. Even il it
should happen, the general opinion of scien-
tihc men leans to the belief that the comet
would be the only sufferer. Occasionally the
earth approaches very close TO one of these
fugitives, and is believed to have passed
through the tail of the great comet of 1851
n comet which in several particulars resem-
bled the one now visible. The only result of
the passage, 80 far as any could be traced
was a peculiar phosphoresence or illumina-
ton of the sky, similar to that Of a yellow
auroral glare. According to Arago's calcula-
tions a comet with a.mass as great as that of
the earth itself coming six times nearer to us
than the moon, would produce no more seri-
Gus terrestrial effect than to increase by two
days the length of the year and slightly mod
ify the obliquity of the eclipic. The effect
on the comet might however, be disastrous
The comet of 100 got entangled among the
satellites of Jupiter, and only made its escape
after detention of four months, without in
the slightest degree affecting those bodies
during its stay. As possible disturber, then,
of the public peace, either by actual coils
ion or by near approach, q comet is not
likely to be a conspicuous success.

and was driven by two series of six Wollas-

tGen. S. L. woodford at Wesleyan Unyersty.l
Far too many young men at the South have
come to their early manhood uneducated and
unframed, with all the vices and weaknesses
of the time of slavery, and without the grsces
that to fine natures even slavery sometimes
gave. A new South has already come. 1t is
yet in the blade, but it will soon be in the ear
and will surely grow to harvesting. Young
men and women of the best blood in the
South, best in breeding, best in endurance,
have bravely gone to work. Work always
WINS and this young, new South will win its
fight. The kind of labor by New England
youth and maidens, three or four generations
ago, which made New England what she is
to-day, is the kind which the young people of
the South are taking up, and this kind of la
Dor will make the new South the rival of the
North. Above the kuklux rider, above the
freedman bearing ballot whose meaning and
sacredness neither he nor his late master may
fully comprehend; above the laborer and
above the employer; above poverty and
above wealth above culture and above igno-
rance, stands law, crowned of God with au-
thority, and by all men to be held in reve-
renee.

Some months since, a low lived desperate,
one Col. Cash, of South Carolina, provoked
a quarrel with Mr.. w. NJ. Shannon, a much
better man than he then challenged him to
fight duel, aud shot him dead. The law of
South Carolina provides that killing under
such circumstances constitutes murder in the
first degree. There was neither dispute nor
question as to the facts of this case 1t was
proved that Cash killed Shannon, and meant
to kill him if he could. The judge before
whom the case was tried did his duty; he dis
tnctly charged the jury that such killing as
had been proved, is, under the law, wilful
murder; he told them that the fact that the
murdered man consented to stand up and be
shot at constituted no excuse for or mitigation
Of the crime of the murderer, But the jury,
after brief deliberaton, in direct defiance
of the evidence, the law, and the charge of
the Judge, acquitted Col Cash. Public SEN
timent in South Carolina does not sustain the
law of the state, and the jurymen preferred
to perjure themselves andset the law u naught,
rather than meet the adverse public opinion
which they knew would follow a verdict of
''guilty of murder" Evidently South Caro-
lima is still an imperfectly civilized communi-
