Rogers was fastidious to fault, and
wrote with great difficulty--correcting
and recorrecting with painful elabora-
ton whatever he wrote, either in prose
or in verse-sometimes spending a
week or more in the composition of q
single sentence. He once showed me
a note which he had written to Lord
Melbourne, at that time prime minister,
suggesting that he should grant a PEN
sion on the civil list to the Rev. Mr..
Carey, the translator of Dante. The
note consisted but of a dozen lines
perhaps even less--but he assured me
that it had occupied his time and care
for full fortnight, and that he hoped
that he had succeeded in rendering it
so compact, and so forcible, as well as
so elegant, as to defy ingenuity to omit
a word from, or add a word to it, or
even to change single word or phrase
for better one. He read it over to me
as an example of what l and everyone
else ought to aim at in epistolary, or
indeed in all literary composition. 1

this painfully produced epistle, which
was: ''But perhaps your lordship has

HIS LAST CIGAR.
How Elem. Chauncey M. Depew
stopped Smoking a Dozea Years |
Ago.
Albany Journal.

Albany Journal
That genial humorist, able lawyer,
adroit politician and eloquent speaker,
the Hon. Chauncey M. Depew, was
in Albany recently attending tho
meeting of the New York Central
stockholders. Meeting a friend, the
tender of the cigar to Mr.. Depew re-
called an interesting Renaissance,
which We give in Mr.. Depew's words.
Said he:
II was confirmed smoker, smok~
ing twenty cigars day up to about a
dozen years ago, when gave up the
habit. [ EoW do not use tobacco.
Twelve or thirteen years ago found
myself suffering from indigestion,
with wakeful fits at night, nervous
ness and inability to submit to much
mental strain. I was Ia the city of
Albany one day and bought % cent
Partaga. [ was walking up Broad
way, and at the corner of State street
[ took the cigar out of my mouth and
looked at it. I had smoked about an
inch of it. A thought struck me. I
had been reading German servants
book on the unhealthfulness of the
use of tobacco. looked at my cigar
and said: "You are responsible for
this mischief" threw the Partaga
into the gutter, and resolved not to
smoke again. For six months I suf
fered the torments of the damned. l
wanted to smoke, but resolutely re-
fused. Ny appetite meanwhile was
growing better, my sleep was grow
ing sounder, and 7 could do more
work, did not smoke up to two Or
three years ago. After I had worked
for seventeen hours continuously one
day, late at night, / thought / would
try cigar as a soothing influence. I
enjoyed the aroma of the smoke and
the pleasure of the cigar more than I
car say. The next day I smoked four
cigars and the next two. | found the
use of tobacco was affecting my physi-
cal system, and I stopped it entirely
and have not commenced again, and
probably never shall"
Mr.. Depew's genial face, his merry
laugh and his vigorous appetite drive
away any suspicion one might enter
tain that he ever was victim of
dyspepsia Or its common parent, the
tobacco habit. Mr. Depew, we be-
Heve, is the only American of note,
excepting Gen. Grant, who is known
to have had the strength of will to
break Off smoking at a minutes hest
tatlon or delay. Only an inveterate
smoker who has had the experience
can appreciate the grit required to
successfully pass through it.

The assistant at the station rushed
out and made regular baggage

slammed about with reckless disre-
gard for consequences. The old man
interposed:
"Young man, won't you break that
trunk?"
The syoung man" turned a wither-
ing look upon the old gentleman and
impudently inquired:
"What's the matter with you; do
you own that trunk"

evinced much indignation, "but I'll

Settlement I'm America.

1T is an i'll wind that blows no.
body good" The i'll wind of despot~
ism was nipping many bud and kill
ing many fair plant in Eng land and
other countries two centuries ago, and
sweeping from their dear native lands
SO many of the best and noblest of
their children. But it was doing also
a better deed-it was drifting west
ward many cargo of the very people
whose past hardships fitted them best
for the rough life of a new country, as
their great fidelity to conscience en-
abled them to lay its foundations firm
and deep on the rock, and thereby
secure its stability and prosperity for
generations to como. 1t was another
ill wind" nearly a century later,
that welded iato one the various
colonies of the new world, and unfurl-
ed that flag of independence under
which the progress of the United
States has become one of the wonders
of the world. We conceive the demon
of despotisn chuckling with delight
as the torch Of freedom was extln-
guished in one fair country of Europe
after another, smiling In derision at
the pitiful efforts of the paltry handful
that had escaped from his grasp to
protect themselves on the other side of
the sea from the fury Of the ele-
ments on the one hand and the
tomahawk and scalping knife of the
red Indian on tie other. But under
the fostering care of an unseen hand,
the little one became a thousand,
cf,~
with a rapidity unparalleled in the
history of the world; and now the
United States, having rid itself of the
great blot domestic slavery, is not
only sure refuge for the oppressed
in all parts of the earth, but a glorious
witness TO the blessedness of freedom,
and destined, as we believe, to lead
ing part in spreading over the world
that faith which, by freeing men from
tyranny within as well as tyranny
without, makes them free indeed"
The prosecutor in England had been
at first like the dog in the manger, he

disposed of, and their minds bouyant
with the thought of the freedom they
had never known at home, but were
now going to enjoy. But the ty>
raat would not let them go. Soldiers
were sent to clear the ships and drive
back the miserable emigrants poor,
helpless and. despairing, to endure
while life lasted the miserable Cypress
ion from which they seemed to have
escaped forever. In another case the
emigrants were betrayed by the cap>
tam, their goods pillaged, and they
themselves sentenced to imprison-
ment. Was it that their prosecutors
could not give up the pleasure of slit
ting the noses and cropping the ears
of poor wretches who would not obey
their behests, or that they imagined
that they would more readily crush
the spirit OF rebellion in others when
it was seen that neither 1T home nor
across the inhospital ocean could they
escape from tyranny so as to obey
their consciences in thr worship of

FATAL ACCIDENT AT ROCKFIELD,

Terrible Explosion the Result.

Terrible Explosion the Result.
The village of Rockfeld, on the @.
& n. W. railway, about twelve miles
south of West Bend and tyenty~six
north of Milwaukee was the scene of
a terrible dynamite explosion, which
resulted in the instant death of a little
girl and the fatal injury of her mother.
The calamity occurred at the residence
of Jacob Dhein. a quarry man and
lime burner, who resides near the
track. About 7:30 o'clock Thursday
morning, while the family were at
breakfast, with the exception of Mr..
Dhein, who had repaired to the clean
to- in the rear of the house, a little
daughther, aged about four years, took
a dynamite cartridg e, which had been
left with others in a basket in cer>
ner of the room, and put it into the
kitchen stove. A terrible explosion
Immediately followed, which
KILLED THE LITTLE GIRL
instantly and badly injured her moth
er. The house was almost demolished
by the force of the explosion and Mrs.
Dhein was covered and pinned to the
floor by the debris. Mr.. Dhein made
his exit at the rear of the house and
fastened to the rescue of his wife and
children. Mrs. Dhein was taken from
the ruins in terribly mangled condi-
ton. Both legs were broken, her left
eye torn out, and her body ruptured
and torn in the region of the bow els
The headless trunk of the unfortunate
little girl was picked up near by, and
it was some time before her head could
be found. It was finally discovered
some distance away, and when it was
taken up fragment of the head of a
dog, which was also killed, was found
attaced to it.
Mr.. Dhein was buried under the
wreck OF the walls and chimneys of the
house, bat escaped with two fractured
ribs, and seven contusiols. The other
members of the family who were at
breakfast at the time, escaped with
their lives but were terribly shocked.
Pieces of the kitchen stove were
picked up 90 or 80 rods FROM the scene
of the explosion. The building is
practically ruined. The roof was
lifted and converted into a basket, the
shingles were scattered about for
acres. The shattered roof settled back
on the twisted and battered sides of
the house, and the wrecked structure
stands in topping condition, mute
evidence of the awful convulson which
invaded its precincts and converted a
once happy home into one of mourn
ing.

ACCIDENT ON THE BALTIMORE
AND OHIO NEAR PITTSBURG.
Six Cars Berailed by a Misplaced |

Swltsh-SsVeatsen Psrssas In arsd.
A Special from Pittsburg, Pa, on
Thursday afternoon says: A friahtful
wreck occurred at the Bluestone quar-
~ on the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad
at o'clock this morning. Train No.
II, through express from Baltimore
to Plttsburg, consisting of sleeper
two coaches, baggage ami one express
car, ran into misplaced switch and
was completely wrecked. The sleep
er rolled over the embanknent into
the Youghiogheny River. The other
cars were upset, and the whole train
was detached from the engine.
Sixteen persons were injured, but
mono were killed outright.
None of the wounded are believed
to be dangerously injured, unless it is
Congressman Boyle, whose condition
is not known, but is believed to be
serious, J. n. McJilton's ankle was
badly sprained, and Collectors Dowlin
and Bigler are slightly bruised
The report of the wreck reached
this city about 8 o'clock Thursday
morning, and caused great excitement
as it was known that many prominent
men of this city were expected ON the
train. The accident disarranged the
telegraph wires, and it was after 10
o'clock before the following particu-
lars of the accident were received:
The express train was about fifteen
minutes late vaen it reached the place
where the wreck occurred. At the
blue-stone quarry the track runs in a
sharp curve around the river, and
there is switch at the commence
nent of the curve. Whether or not
the switch was left open by some one
is not yet learned. The officials of the
road say
1T WAS TAMPERED WITH,
evidently to cause the wreck. Had
the switch been open the train would
have gone into it all right and could
have been stopped before any damage
could be done. But as it was the train
could go on neither track, and the re
suit was that the engine dashed along
the ties, tearing the track and causing
the coaches to break loose and dash
over the embankment.
The sleeper rolled over and over,
and stopped with its side lying in the
bed of the river, thirty feet below.
The two passenger cars stopped at the
waters edge, and the baggage car
went into the water. Great excite
nent ensued, and the cries of the
injured and manned we're heard from
every side. The frightened passengers
sPrang from the windows, and strug>
gled with each other to escape from
the rslling cars. Those who escaped
without injury were too startled for a
time to render assistance, but the work
of rescuing soon began. Medical as
sistance was summoned from Con-
nellsyille, and in short time corps
of physicians was sent up la special
train. After the wounds of the in
jured were dressed they were sent to
the hotel at Connellsville.
