AN AFFECTING INCIDENT.

Baron Won Liebig, the renowned Ger
man chemist, was much beloved, during
his long and busy life, for his kindness of
heart as he was revered for his genius; and
df,ropos of this fact Professor Hoffman, of
the University of Berlin, relates q very
touching anecdote. 1t appears that many
years ago, Tin 1859 the great scientist, in
company with several chosen friends, OF
whom the Professor was one, was making
an excursion among the mountains Of the
Tyrel, and overlook on the road, one
morning. an old soldier who was evidently
enfeebled by exposure and disease. Moved
to pity by his sad story. he made up q
small purse for him, and then pushed on
to q wayside inn, where he paused to dine.
While the party were still at their repast,
the soldier entered and it pleased them,
says the Professor, to reflect that for once
this poor wayfarer had the means of pro-
curing comfortable meal. After dinner
they disposed themselves for a brief stest0
before proceeding on their way, but when
the Professor awoke from his naphe found,
to his intense surprise, that Liebig had
mysteriously disappeared. Learning from
the innkeeper that the Baron had been
making inquiries for an apothecary shop,
and, on finding that there was none nearer
than the next village, had set cut, in the
heat of the day, to search for it, the Pro-
fessor, undertook to follow him, and pres
emily met him returning, Naturally he
was anxious to ascertain the cause of such
an unusual promenade, but in reply to his
questions, Liebig said, with characteristic
simplicity, that having perceived symptoms
of low fever in the poor soldier, he had
gone in search of some quinine, and, find
ing the apothecary absent, had prevailed
upon the latter's wife to let him make up
a box of powders with his own hands.

promise to obey the instructions given him,

THE RACES.

The unfavorable weather of last Friday
rendered the race track at the fair grounds
unfit for use yesterday afternoon, and the
races announced for that time were post.
poned.
The Tri-City Trotting association has
had long tussle with the rainy weather,
as every date mentioned on which trot
would occur, was sure to bring down a
bountiful supply of rain. The managers
have not abandoned the idea of having a
speed meeting in the near future, as they
feel they can give an attractive programme,
and thus gather large crowd at the fair
grounds.
1t was decided yesterday that the pro
gramme advertised for Saturday would be
given Tuesday afternoon, provided the
weather would let up and give the associa.
ton fair chance.
This programme includes three minute

ACCIDENT,

An accident occurred on the Rock Island
branch of the G. B. & Q. railway Friday, at
little station called Frederick, few miles
from Beardstown, by which several persons
were injured. The train was on its way
to st. Louis, and at the point mentioned il
jumped an embankment six or eight feet.
Eight or ten of the passengers received Sc
we're flesh wounds in the tumble, but none
were seriously hurt. Mr.. Fisher, the sleep
ing car conductor. and Mr.. Farwell, a
brother of J. B. Farwell of Chicago, were
the most seriously injured. The accident
was caused by break in the rails of six
or eight inches. The engine and the bag
gage and mail cars got over the break safe
ly, but the passenger cars were all thrown
off by it. Mr.. Edward de Groot was con-
ductor of the train, and rendered all the
service possible to alleviate the pains of the
wounded.

Mr.. Christy Immediately took the chail
and stated that there had been whine
about depriving the greenbackers of an OPP

said that he would then give them an op
portunity to vote. and repeated the resoiu
ton and asked the greenbackers to vote up
on it.
