Serious, if Not Fatal Accident.

About IL O'Clock on Monday night, a seri-
Gus, II not fatal, accident occurred at Tun.
mel No. of the Pilot Knob mines. An Ital.
an miner by the name of Nicholas Caezzer
was engaged in running out a carload OF
refuse ore from the tunnel to the end of the
dump. After emerging from the tunnel, he
neglected to put on the break quick enough,
and both he and the car We're precipitated
over the embankment with the velocity of a
cannon-ball. Down they went, turning over
and over like wheels until they reached the
bottom, distance of more than hundred
feet. The car was smashed to flinders, and
it is a wonder that there was anything of the
man left ut all. The clothing was stripped
from his body, and his body almost tlayed,
by contact with the sharp rocks of which the
embankment Is composed; numerous cuts
We're made upon his head; his right thigh
was broken in three places, and he received
internal injuries which it is feared will re-
suit fatally.
Drs. GouldinS and Thomas were sum-
moued, and such medical and surgical aid as
the case required was administered. 1t was
thought advisable TO wait until reaction set
in before performing an operation, should it
then be necessary.

GONE, BUT NOT FORGOTTEN.-Silas
Vaughn, the barber, is now amourner. His
assistant tonsorial artist, one Ben Brown,
went away, after fOrtnight's sojourn, with
out bidding Silas good by, and taking along
about So i'm money, some raZors and wear
ing apparel that did not belong to him.
There was Il colored dance at Arcadia on the
night of the Fourth, and Silas attended it.
Before going, he took the precaution to
secrete S1S beneath one of the barber chair
cushions, but left about 81 in change in the
money drawer; then fastening the shop Sc
curely, as he thought, he departed for the
scene of pleasure. But the eyes of Brown
were evidently upon him: for, when every
thing was quiet about town, and while Silas
was doubtless tripping his light, fantastic
toe to the music of ell Broke Loose in
Georgia" or some other classic dance-tune,
Ben broke into the shop, removed the lucre
from it's hiding-place, cleared ont the till,
pocketed three raZors valued at 1915 apiece,
and, donning pair of trousers and an over
coat which had been left in the shop by Il
customer, he boarded the 8 O'Clock train for
St. Louis. When Silas returned and found
that his valuabes were gone, and Brown too,
there was season Of "wailin', am swearin',
and gnashin' of teeth" and then he started
i'm search OF the thief, but after spending
three days in the city, without discovering
him, Silas came home, disconsolate man,
but with a fund of experience which will
last quite awhile.

LIVELY TIMEs.-The south side of the

ped the fight. During the melee Charley
Patton's head was gashed by a pool-ball
thrown by some person unknown. Sides
were taken by the friends of the contrasting
parties, revolvers, knives and slung-shots
distributed, and for short time 4 riot APP
peared inevitable. Better councils prevail

leys of oaths, threats, denunciations, etc.

FABLE OF THE BEAR AND FOX.-A Bear
boosted of his love for man, saying that he
never worried or disturbed him when dead.
The Fox observed with smile: 81 should
have thought more of your profession if
you never ate him alive" Moral: Better
save man from dying than salve him when
dead. How true of man is that maxim to
this day. Men and women, here, there, ev-
erywhere, deplore and lament th-bed
scenes, yet pay SO little attention to each
others welfare during life. All tears after
death, but no smiles before. The health of
wives and daughters is shattered aud their
lives imperiled by some chronic female COM
plant, which is permitted to continue until
the whole constitution is broken down.
Don't procrastinate until these poor Great
ures are dead, but go to work now and work
continuously until they are cured. DIR.
Dromgoole's English Female Bitters is the
remedy. 1t is q never-failing female regu-
lator and iron tonic, acting promptly and
pleasantly.

A Wise Conclusion.

The Board OF Education Of Ironton is in
tribuiation. On the 10th Of June, after los
ballots for principal for the Public School,
| the board at last succeeded in choosing Mr..
j. IL. Van Amburgh, of Cape Girardeau, for
the position. But that gentleman, having
secured another school, withdrew his appli-
cation, though ignorant of the Boards ac-
ton. 1t was plain, then, to almost everybody
except two or three members of the Board,
that, all the Applicant ms before the Board
having been disposed of, the only thing to
be done was to advertise anew for proposals.
This was done, in fact, by what the REGIS
TER supposed to be authority. But, not
withstanding this, n day or two afterward
the Board again met, and, taking up the re-
jected applications, elected the Rev. Mr..
Wright to the prihcipalship.
And here is the sequel: Mr.. Wright took
the matter under Amusement, but WAS in
clined from the first to decline, and would
probably have acted Immediately in accord
ance with his inclination had not injudicious
friends strenuously urged him to accept.
He has now acted wise part in resigning,
assigning as reasons that he did not consider
he had any proposition before the Board
when elected: that he had never accepted a
position us teacher where not unanimously
rendered; and that considerable public feel
ing, as voiced by the REGISTER, had been
manifested against his election.
The action of Mr.. Wright must meet the
decided appreciation of almost every tax
payer who wishes the prosperity of our
Public School. Had he decided otherwise,
the school would have received an injury
from which it could not have So recov-
cred. The opposition to Mr.. Wright was
not of personal nature at all: he is gen.
tleman Thoroughly qualified for the place to
which he aspired; but the opposition arose
from the conviction that the employment Of
clergvmen of any denomination i'm public
free schools is contrary to the spirit and
inimical to the highest efficiency of the
system.
The Board is advertising again for propo-
sails, but it is feared that, at this late day,
only "stick'' can be picked up. If that
body would apply little business tact, and
offer fair inducements for tirst-class men,
there would be no trouble in getting what
Is so much desired to build up the school:
an experienced principal, possessed of snap,
executive ability, and undivided love for his
profession. Otherwise, it Is probable that
the school will continue to be 4 slipshod in
stitution.

My Experience in Teaching.

! Dear Register-I wish to give my expert
| ence as a teacher since have been In the
ministry, and 1 wish to give it to the public
| through the medium of your interesting
paper.
| have taught in private schools and pub
| lie schools, in high schools and low schools,
in male academies and female seminaries,
making in all fourteen years; and preached
also nearly every Sabbath during that time.
Every morning the Bible was read verse
about by the teacher and students; after
which a short, appropriate prayer was Of
fered. never heard of these exercises
PROSECUTING any one over to my way of think
ing. l never heard of such exercises making
the scholars dishonest i'll their dealings,
profane swearers, ath-breakers, or bad
citizens in other respects; but, on the coll
trary, it had the very reverse effect on them.
Many Of my students are now practicing law
or medicine, some are preaching, one Is
president of a college in Arkansas, and 9TH
ers are following different and useful occu-
pations i'm life.
But people i'm the nineteenth century have
got to be wiser than their Maker. BY vote
the Bible has been banished from the public
schools! There is Il standing and binding
command of the Author of the Bible that it
should be taught at all times and in all
places. (See Deut., viz. l believe that
verse has reference not only to parents, but
to all who have the care and instruction OF
chidren.) do not know but that the ma
jority Of the world would go in for voting to
dethrone the Creator and to take the reins
of universal government i'll their own hands.
Well, l have had Methodist preachers come
to me to study the Hebrew language, and
they were not afraid that I would make
PreSbyterians of them. l have also had
Cumberland Presbyterian preachers come to
study algebra, and they did not appear afraid
that | would try to bring them round to my
way of believing the Bible. / remember
about one of them that, when he first came,
he appeared wonderfully exercised about
what the value of the letter e would be in
the solution of different problems, as it is an
unknown number. Whilst labored to lead
my students along in the paths of science,
literature and morality, l never tried to
proseyte any. / was always glad to see any
become true and faithful followers of the
Savior, then to join the church of their
choice, or the church of their parents.
Had children to send to school, | would
wish them taught good manners, to obey I'LL
wholesome rules, to obey their parents, and
to treat all with becoming respect, whether
superiors, interiors, or equals. would wish
them also to be taught to "remember the
Sabbath day, to keep it holy" and to shun
intemperance, profane swearing, lying,
Cheating, stealing, fighting, and Sabbath des-
ecration. Where is there Il parent that
would not wish his children taught these
things! Then, why object to conscientious
and able minister, who can teach these things
rs well as and perhaps better than any one
else: All this can be done, and ought to be
done, and sectarianism be left entirely out
of the question. j. DONALDSON.

REMARKS.

The views of MIR. Donaldson, as seen from
his standpoint, may be correct, but he seems
to have strangely Inexperienced the posi-
ton Of those who oppose the introduction OF
| clergymen into the public schools as teach
ers. If all the people of the United States
were of Zone way of thinking: if they all
believed the one and the same Bible, then
the objections against the employment OF
clerical teachers and the use of the Bible in
the public schools could not stand. But it
is patent fact that they are not, and never
eau be, of the same way of thinking; hence
the position Of the DIRECTORS, as succinctly
stated below, Is believed to be impregnable:
1. The common school system in vogue in
this country was established for the benefit
of the whole people.
=. Every individual in the States, ire
spective of his political or religious bias, is
subject to taxation to support that system.
5. 1t follows, therefore, that the intro
duction into the public schools of an element
of which a portion of the moral citizens
of community cannot conscientio,lsly APP
prove, practically excludes that portion from
the benefits of a system which they are taxed
to support, and to that extent works palpa-
BILE injustice.
Very many Of the people Of the Union
are without the pale of the church, and
those within the pale are divided into parties
whose differences are utterly irreconcilable.
No less than four versions of the Bible are
now in use by different religious sects:
to decide that the King James or the Douay
version, for example, shall be used in the
public schools, would, in either case, trench
upon the belief of large bodies of people,
and in effect deprive them of rights to which
they are justly entitled; and a clerical
teacher could not, because of his religious
convictions, refrain from using the book of
his choice and imparting religious cast to
his teaching. The public schools were es-
tablished simply and only to furnish secular
knowledge to the multitude, that they may
become the better citizens; the religious ed
ucation of youth is the peculiar province of
home and the Sunday school, and should be
confined within those bounds. "Thcre is a
time land placel for all things"

Cheap Things the Most
NOurishing.

Professor Atwater, of the Agricul-
tural College of Connecticut, has de-
duced from the various analyses and
investigations of chemists table
illustrating the comparative nutritive
value of various species of fish, flesh
and fowl. Some of its conclusions
will surprise many persons, inasrnuch
as they are directly contrary to gener-
ally received notions on the subject.
AS basis the Professor takes me-
dunn beef-neithcr fat nor lcan-as
having a nutritive value of 100. He
puts fat pork at 116, smoked beef at
LAG, smoked ham at 157, ordinary
beef at 91.3, mutton at S6.6, butter
at 124.1, cheese from skinned milk
at 159, hens eggs at 72.2. In fresh
fish the highest place is given to
salmon, 1879. Spanish mackerel are
estimated at 1859, boned cod ut LOG
(above all fresh fish, save salmon),
canned salmon at 10Y, and sailed
mackerel at I'LL. Oysters sup.
posed by many to be so nutritious,
at ais, and Holsters at sos. A
very satisfactory point in this esti-
mate is that what is cheapest is the
most nourshing. The exceptional
nutritive character of smoked and
dried preparations is due to the evap-
grafton of moisture and compression
of tissue. 'The enormous amount of
nutriment in cheese explains the vast
consumption Of American cheese in
England, where one sees lahorers
eating it freely

TUESDAY, APRIL %, 1882.
Webster and Burr.

Mr.. Webster used to tell with
great zcst IN incident in his profess
sional life, to illustrate how past
studies may prove Of great service in
an emergency. While practicing in
New Hampshire, blacksmith en-.
ployed him to defend II contested
will. The case was such compli-
Gated one that he was obliged to
order books from Boston. ut the ex-
pcnsc of fifty dollars, in order to
acguaint himself with and to settle
the legal principlse involved. He
won the case, and, as the amount
involved was small, charged fifteen
dollars for services, and was, there
fore largely out of pocket. Many
years after, when passing through
New York he was consulted by
AKRON Burr.
6 l have very perpleXing case,"
said Mr.. Burr, =" which l cannot dis
entangle. II know am right but see
no way of proving it in court"
Mr.. Webster listened, and found
the principles identical with his early
case.
He stated them in such a lumin-
Gus way that Mr.. Burr excited said,
Have you been consulted before
Mr.. Wcbster?"
"No, sir; I never heard of the
case till you mentioned it."
g How is it possible that you
could unravel such a case at sight,
when had given many hours of anx-
ious study to it in vain?"
Mr.. Webster enjoyed his perplex-
ity, but finally relieved him by a
statements of the facts. A great
sum was at stake, and Mr.. Webster
received fee of one thousand
dollars to balance his former loss.
The moral of this incident is that
whatever is worth doing is worth do
ing well. Mr.. Webster, when a
young lawyer, acted on this maxim,
and this laid the foundation of his
greatness as lawyer.
