A RAILROAD SMASH.UP.
In Which Fifteen or Twenty Laborers
Lose Their Lives.

A west-bound freight train collided
with a gravel train on the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad, one mile east of Connells-
vile, and a number OF laborers, y~ariously
estimated 1T from twelve to twenty, were
killed and many injured. Both trains were
going ut high speed and came together with
n terrible crash. The engines remained on
the track and telescoped each other into the
smoKe-stack. but the heavy tenders
umped into the air and fell, the freight
lender upon Its engine and the gravel train
tender back upon the first car in the rear OF
it.. Here was Il scene OF death. Six men
were killed outright in this car and four
others were fastened down by broken tim
bers and were roasted to death, the car
catching fire from an overturned stove, and
burning up before the stupefied survivors
could comprehend the awful situation OF
their shrieking companions.
The wreck itself was a CHASTITY sight. The
tender of the freight engine stood thirty
feet in the air at the side of the iron car
that was burned. There could be seen Sit
ting amid the glowing embers, twisted iron
rods and dead ashes, three grinning skele-
tons, one sitting bolt upright, apparently
peering into the flames that had smothered
out his life as well as those Of his compan-
ions.
When the wreck was cleared away 1t was
discovered that twelve persons had been
injured and fourteen more missing. The
bodies of ten of those missing were recov-
cred. The others are supposed TO have
been completely consumed. OF those re-
covered only two were partially identified.
The others were burned shapeless.
The verdict Of the corners jury is to the
effect that the collision was due to the care
lessness of train dis paicher Gilbert Lewis.

Report on the Bill Submitted from the
House Committee

The report submitted to accompany
the bill reported from the house committee
on public lands, providing for the repeal
of the presumption and timber culture laws
and an amendment to the homestead law.
says: Under the presumption, homestead
and timber culture laws, as they now stand,
a person may become the owner Of $50
acres OF the public domain, 100 acres under
each. This is too large an amount Of land
for any person to acquire in this
manne The policy Of the govern
ment should be to furnish as many
Of our citizens with comfortable homes
as long IN the future as possible, and 100
acres is sufficient for this purpose. By CIV
ing this amount it will not be many years
until all the public domain will be taken up.
The presumption law was passed in 1S41,
the homestead law in 1862 and the timber
culture act in 1873. When the homestead
act was enacted, the presumption law
should have been repeated. The timber
culture law should never have been passed.
We have, therefore, provided for the re-
peal Of the presumption and timber culture
acts and an amendment to the homestead
law

The Age OF the Newspaper.

Boston Courier.
Public attention is absorbed by the
newspaper; and it is to the periodical
press press hat the literary man owes
both his salvation and his ruin. The
large class of people who read simply
to Kill time, satisfy all literary cravings
by drinking at the streams, clear or
muddy, as the case may be, of their
pet newspapers; and even the lighter
class of stories appeal to them but sell
dom unless served up in long columns
and sent through the postofice. 1t is
emphatically the age of the newspaper,
and both author and preacher are rap
idly finding themselves reduced to the
choice between working for the period
ical press and abandoning the field al
together. Of course, there are striking
exceptions, but in the main this seems
TO us to be about the sense and sub
stance of the whole matter. Literary
men are as we'll off as ever, but they
must adapt their methods of work to
the times in which they live.

by a stranger from those of a gorgeou:
quill. SO unerring is John in his dem.
onstration, that the residents of that
locality rely upon him as their barome-
ter, and he never fails to acquaint them
with pending meteorological changes.
He wears mems coarse clothing, after
a manner peculiar to himself. He can-
moi be induced to use suspenders. He
~ frequently presented with those USE
full appendages to a males toilet, but it
matters not how bright and gaudy the
colors may be, John will tear the sus-
penders up and ornament his neck,
arms and legs with the pieces. He
keeps his pantaloons in place by con-
stantly holding them up by the band in
front. When one hand is tired he
catches a fresh grip with the other and
struts around his dismal quarters with
all the pomp and circumstance of a
prize bull at IN agricultural fair. He
sleeps upon a small cot in one corner of
his cell, having for his bed fellows a
number of tin cans, bones and brick
bats. He never removes his panta-
looms, and nothing can induce him to
wear shoes. He is a rugged, healthy
creature, with a body like a bull and a
voice like a Kansas cyclone.
The mans history is a sad one. His
mother, a very pleasant and intelligent
woman, was one day crossing a field
not far fro m their home q few months
prior to Johns birth. A vicious bull
was pastured in the field, and when he
caught sight of Mrs. Haines he came
plunglng toward her at full tilt, snort
ing angrily. The terribly affrighted
woman ran with all speed to the near
est fence, aDd succeeded in getting on
the other side of it before the bull,
which was close in her wake, could
harm her. The shock was a terrible
one, and Mrs. Haines suffered for days
from nervous prostration. The terri
BILE effects of that fright were i'm
pressed upon her unborn child, and
when he was ushered into the world
the poor mother found that her off
spring partook more of the nature of a
bull than that of a human being. Her
grief e this misfortune was pitiable,
and for almost thirty years her life was
by a contemplation of the
hideous child. When the wretched
died John was removed to the
infirmary, and has been confined there
ever since.

THE LADY OF TEARS.

Through valley, and hamlet and city,
Wherever humanity dwells,
With a heart full of infinite pity,
A breast that with sympathy swells,
She walks, in her beauty immortal
J Each household grows sad as she nears,
But she crosses at length every portal,
The mystical Lady of Tears.
II never this vision of sorrow
Has Swallowed your life in the past,
You will meet her 1 know, serve to-mor-
row,
She visits all hearthstones at last.
To house and cottage and palace,
To servant and king, she appears,
And offers the gall of her chalice-
The unwelcome Lady Of Tears.
Blu ia midnight, lone hearts that are ach-
ing
With the agonized numbness of grief,
Are saved from the torture of breaking
By her bitter-sweet draughs Of relief.
Oh, then do all graces enfold her
Like a goddess she looks and appears,
And the eyes overflow that behold her,
The beautiful Lady of Tears.
Though she turns to lamenting all laughter,
Though she gives US despair for delight,
Life holds s new meaning thereafter
For those who bat greet her Alright.
They stretch out their hands to each other,
For sorrow smiles, and endears,
The children Of our tender mother
The sweet blessed Lady of Tears.
