An Unfortunate Accident.

1t is surprising that more caution is
not shown in performing some of the
ordinary, but dangerous, works around
the home. Every one knows that dead

wells, and yet every now and then some
injury follows from the failure to drive
out the bad air An armful of lighted
hay dropped into a well on last Mon

Claiborne county will have reason to
be proud OF her Representation in the
next Legislature. Senator Martin holds
as high rank for ability, and usefulness,
as any man in the Senate, and with W.
T. Magruder in the House, as his col
league, old Claiborne will have reason
to feel proud of her Representative sons
native and to the manner born. Sen
ator Martin and Representative Magru-
der reflect as much intellect, in our
judgment, as any two natives of Claib-
orne that have preceded them in public
life and they will rank among the ablest
men in the State. We shall look to

Travelling by Electricity.

When steam was first brought into
general use as a motor, a great deal of at
tention was paid by inventors to the
problem of making its use universal in
stead of confining it to certain conditions
that had to be prepared expressly for it
at great labor and expense. They felt it
was desirable to make it a draft force
upon common highways as we'll as upon
railways, but the weight of machines
that would have to be used and the diff.
Guilty of making engines that would
traverse the natural distractions of Or
dinary roads were found to be so great
that no satisfactory results were ever OBJ
tained. But steam is looked upon in its
turn as too cumbersome and too slow,
and leaving that to do its work in the
channels where it is now operating, the
inventors have dashed out upon the
plains of science and lassoed that more
powerful and fascinating force-electric-
ity-and they are now engaged in tanning
it and teaching it the tricks that are in
demand in the great arena Of human in
dustries. They gain thereby, force
swiftness and delicacy, and as their un-
derstanding of the action of the new
servant broadens and deepens, mankind
is to be made the gamer in ways little
dreamed of now. The great value of the
new force in all its possibilities of de-
velopment will be its universal applica.
ton to common things. Let it be known
to you, happy and unfortunate lad of
the not remote future, that it will churn
the cream, rock the cradle and turn the
grindstone, among its more prosaic duties,
and it will utter no complaint Of aches in
its back, or ,weariness in its limbs. The
Pail Mall Gazette recently said: "Elec-
tricity is now entering the field against
the horse as means of traction. Two
eminent electricians claim to be able to
bottle up twelve horse power in storage
battery, weighing three hundred weight,
and they promise to produce, in few
months, perfectly practical electric
tricycle., capable of running fifteen or
twenty miles without recharging the
accumulators, and able to ascend all
such hills as are now possible for the foot
tricycle., and even sleeper gradients, II
auxiliary foot gearing be used to help
the clectro-motor, when the incline il
great. This is no measure of what Is
coming. 1t is merely hint of what
science expects to Immediately accom-
plish. But the youth of to-day will not
be an old man before he can see the
public travelling over suburban roads, up
hill and down hill, drawn by an unseen
but not unknown force. The horse has
qualities that will make him always O
favorite, no matter TO what more capable
and tireless servant his burdens may be
transferred, but he will not long remain
the necessity that he is to-day. Elec'
tricity is isawakening the world and giving
an impulse TO the development Of q
grand civilization that has never before
been available. .-Bosfon Post
