Labor aud Intellect.

We are always in these days trying
to separate the two; we want one man
to always be working, and we call one
gentleman and the other an operative;
whereas the workman ought often to be
thinking, and the thinker often to be
working, and both shonld be gentlemen
in the best sense. AS it is we make
both nngentle, the one envying, the
other despising his brother, and the
mass of society is made of morbid think
ers and miserable workers.

Senator Colquitt has furnished the
first instance in the history of Georgia
where father and son represented the
state in the senate of the United
States. Such occurrences are very
rare. There are only three on record.
They are those of Senators Bayard, Don
Cameron and Colquitt. The Bayards
have represented Delaware in the
senate without interruption for three
generations. Don Cameron took his
fathers seat. There was thirty years
between Walter T. Colquitt and his son
in the senate. Savannah Ga, News.

Eleventh and Twelfth corps, eastern soldiers
OF the Army of the Potomac, were ordered

brakes, of course, were put on at once
and the engine reversed. The coils
ion, however, was inevitable and
came speedily. The result was the
disabling of the engine, the unlucky
277," and the demolition of the cars.
1t is quite remarkable that, although
the passengers were somewhatshaken
mp, no one was injured. No. 5 was
detained four or five hours. The ac-
cident was caused by the loosening of
the brakes on the two runaway cars
while they stood on the siding at
Hardman's switch, near Newburg. 1t
was probably done by boys at play
about them. When Conductor Rizer's
freight train ran into the upper end
of the siding to wait for No. the ca
boose may have hit the uppermost of
the empty cars standing below, Though
no one was conscious of the shock, as
Engineer Keller backed his train into
the siding very slowly and cautiously.
Engine No. 277 has had peculiar
ly hard experience. 1t has had five
accidents within year, one of them
being the overturn near Grafton on
New Years eve last, when Engineer
Hepburn and Fireman Dorsey were
killed. The whole five have occurred
