FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT.
A Mother and Her Children
Drowned I'm Their Carriage.

The particulars of the terrible acct
dent which occurred Friday near Sur
rounded Hill, on the Memphis and
Little Rock Railroad, Arkansas, are
given in the Western dispatches. 1t
appears that A. w. Lawrence, in com
pany with his wife, baby and daughter,
about sixteen years of age, were driv-
ing in a carriage to visit some friends at
Surrounded Hill Reaching a small
bayou, the mother with her infant in
her arms and daughter stepped out,
while Lawrence led the horses and
carriage on the ferry. a small flat
boat. The ladies then stepped
aboard, and the craft was pushed
into the s'ream. When midway the
horses became frightened and began
rearing and backing. In their struggles
they crowded the mother, baby and
daughter into the stream, and finally
ended in backing the vehicle and them
selves overheard into the midst of the
struggling unfOrtunates. Lawrence, made
frantic by the accident, jumped over
board and attempted to rescue his wife
and children, but without avail. The
horses, carriage and victims were mixed
in an inextricable mass and all went
down together. The bayou was subse-
quently dragged and the bodies of the
unfortunate victims recovered.

Late statistics of education show that
England has emerged out of the dark
ages of 1870 into the broad beams OF
general enlightenment in 1880. In 1870
the educational system of England was
far behind those of Germany and the
United States, and now it has advanced
up to the front. The Gladstone educa-
ton act was passed in 1870, and its bene-
fetal influences upon England and Wales
were Immediately felt A comparison
of figures will show the change in the de
cade. In 1870, 8.2s1 schools were inspect
ed; in 1880, II, TAB, more than double the
number. In 1870 there were school &C
cOmmOdatiOns for 100000; in 1880,
4 $50, 600. Attendance in 1879 was l.
1j2. 3S9; last year it was 2, 75O,916 The
English school system has improved as
fast as these figures have advanced.
twenty-five million dollars were ex-
pended in the public school interest last
year. The salaries paid to teachers,
male and female, are about the same as
those paid in the several grades in this
country, and the cost PER head for free
school education is about the same.

The tragic death of Bishop Smith, Of
the Mormon Church, should, remarks
the Albany N. " Times, be thoroughly
investigated by the government. The
thugs Of MormOndOm doubtless took his
life because he exposed 10 the govern
ment the bloody massacre at Mountain
Meadows The United States Govern
ment is bound 10 protect its Witnesses.
The death Of this man is an emphatic
protest against the continued existence
of a pestilent power, which openly dofies
the laws Of God and man. The destruc
ton of MormOnism. not as a religious
belief. but as an Oligarchy whose very
life is antagOnistic TO the supremacy of
the United States, is imperatively de-
manded. We have blandly permitted
an avOwed enemy to increase in strength
on our own soil. A point has at len h
been reached when patience with thts e
people becomes a national outrage.

Discussing the inadequacy of the Su-
preme Court as at present constituted,
the Philadelphia Press says: These
eight or, at the best, nine Judges are
totally inadequate to the disposition Of
the business naturally coming before the
Supreme Court. When first organized
in 1870 that body consisted of one Chief
Justice and five Associates. Since then
the country has increased from less than
three millions of population to over fifty
millions, and its business in much
greater proportion The Supreme Court
has in this interval grown from six to
nine Justices, and some Of their circuit
duties are discharged by regular ap-
poiuted Circuit Judges. The court was
none too large for the business which
came before it eighty OF ninety years
aoo With the immense increase in this
business the court has not kept pace. and
in its present condition fails TO large
extent to meet the ends for which it was
constituted"

The Liverpool internal machine
sensation has several peculiar features.
First, the British Home Office knew of
their shipment from Boston before their
arrival at Liverpool, and yet was not
informed of the names of consignors or
consignees; then the alleged dynamite
was thrown overheard as soon as found,
and consequently there is no positive
knowledge that it was dynamite; then,
although there was no immediate an
nOuncement of the seizure, no one called
for the internal machines" on the yes
sells arrival; and now it Is declared i'm
possible at both Boston and Liverpool
to obtain any information whatever as
to the shippers OF consignees. In addi-
ton to these peculiar Circumstances may
be cited the fact that billheads from
ODonOvan Rossa's Office were found in
the shipment. which aid TO the detec-
ton of the shipper would not have been
afforded had he sent the machines
over. The shipment and the discovery
bear the marks of put up Job"

The old Latin motto that ''the end
crowns the work" applies well to Pro
fessor Bells experiments with the indut-
ton balance. As appears from the
Washington dispatches, his apparatus
has justified the diagnosis of the sur
geons, and located the ball in President
Garfeld's body exactly where they de-
clared It was. So accurate are the indi-
cations of the delicate electrical ma
chinerY that no matter in whose hands
it was placed the peculiar sound de-
noting the presence Of the metal was
heard with unerring precision wherever
the discs we're applied to the spot Indi-
Gated by the surgeons, and nowhere else.
It is another triumph tor Professor Bell
and for electrical science. 1t also affords
: gratifying proof of the correct judg-
ment of the Presidents surgeons, in de
fance Of the opinions of self-constituted
censOrs.

In the Complies rendus Of the Paris
Academy Of Sciences, N. Camille Flam-
marion publishes a remarkable note
showing, with strong proofs, that it is
impossible to maintain the current theory
on the materiality of the tails Of comets,
which are now supposed to be formed
OF the substance itself Of the comet
driven by repulsive force emanating
from the sun. NJ. FlammariOn main
tains that the tail Of a comet is simply a
luminous phenomenon, an electrical OF
other excitation of the ether, produced
by the cOmetary star in the trace of its
shadow. This theory is beginning to
number many partisans.

A HORRIBLE TRAGEDY "A dispatch
from Fort Smith, Ark. says that hor-
rible tragedy occurred on the Goth at
Stonewall, Cherokee Nation. Major A.
Williams, living near that place, had
grown very jealous of his wife, and a
number of bitter quarrels between the
couple ensued. On the night of the date
specified they were in a wrangle of more
than usual bitterness, when Williams,
crszed with jealousy, drew a pistol and
sent ball crashing through his wife's
head, killing her instantly. He then
placed the muzzle of the weapon against
his forehead. and, pulling the trigger, sue
ceeded IN inhicting a wound which
caused his death in few minutes The
dead bodies were found lying only a few
feet apart. The Williamses were well
to do and respectable. Mrs. Williams is
described as having been a decided
b autY.

The tramp has almost wholly disap-
peared in the North. Some Of the
papers attribute this to the increased
prosperity Of the country and the demand
for labor, but not so the New York
Herald, which declares the tramp has
been literally killed of. The race. it
was known, was a shOrt-lived one, losing
twenty per cent. a year perhaps in rail
road accidents, etc, and another twenty
per cent. in the jaiIs and Peuiteutiaries.
The consequence has been that the whole
race has been wiped from the face Of
this country in the past two years, hav.
ing received no recruits in that time.

When the Northern people read such evil
dences as these they must realize the vast
growth of this industry in the South: but when
they 60 South themselves, no matter in what
States they may travel, they will see such
further evidences as will lead them to exclaim.
as did the Queen of Sheba on beholdBg the
glory of solomon, 1.-The half has not been
toldln The chief advantage in the South is in
getting cotton cheap. The cost of getting a
bale of cotton from the field in the South to
the mill in the East is 81 per bale, which ag-
gregates l3 per cent. which is ? per cent. more
than the annual average dividend paid by
forty Of the principal mills of New England.
Again, while the Northern mill works
ten hours day-sixty hours a week
many Of the Southern mills work seventy
seven and some eighty four hours a week
The cost OF living Is less South than East And
certainly when the Southern people prove their
friendly professions by their works and mt
their capital into the hands of those they invite
to cooperate with them none can question their
good faith. Cotton may still be king in the
South, but his dominion Is no longer confined
to the broad and undulating prairies lifting
their snowy bosoms to the warm summer sun:
for the hum OF the spindle and the clash of the
shuttle are now heard in many cities and val
leys The people are accordingly beginning to
realize that one hand in the factory is equal to
four in the field, and as they gradually learn by
experience the profits To be secured in the
factory all of their idle capital viii be invested
in manufacturing cotton goods.
