Singular

From a gentleman who just came
down from Quincy, says the Marrys-
vile Call Democrat, we learn the foi-
lowing particulars of a singular, though
fortunately not fatal accident: y mar
named Miller, living on the mountain
road, between Taylorvillc and SUSAN
vile, Lassen county. has an ~S-year-0ld
son named Peter. Some four or live
inches of new soft snow had accumu-
lated on the ground, and, boylike, little
Peter proceeded to make II snow MAJ
out of the first snow of the season.
Little attention was paid to his antics
by the older members OF the family.
As evening approached the little fellow
was missed, and as he did not answer
to repeated calls. the parents became
much alarmed. Search was Instituted,
and the parents naturally sought the
scene of the snow man for a possible
clew to his whereabouts, and they
found it. Leading from the spot down
a steep slope of the mountain was the
track of a huge SNOWFALL, gradually in
creasing i'm width as it receded from the
starting point. The awful suspicion
crossed their minds that perhaps their
only child had been carried to the canon
below wrapped i'm the ball. Their fears
were well founded, for on following the
trail over the brow of the slope. and at
a point where it pitched directly into
the deep canon, they found the huge
ball resting on the soft boughs OF a re-
Gently fallen tree. A faint voice was
heard calling ''mamma." The parents
found the little fellow almost completely
enveloped in the SNOWFALL, with only 4
breathing hole left to mark the spot
where he was entombed. With only
their hands and sticks as implements &c
work with, the parents had a hard time
in freeing the little one, but the tasl
was finally accomplished. and they
breathed much easier on finding he wa:
but little the worse for his perilou'
journey. He said in attempting to stol
the ball from rolling it Knocked hin
down, raj over and picked him up, anC

DEATH OF DETECTIVE cox.
He Dies Suddenly at Fortress Monroe
Last Saturday.

Detective J. 7. Cox, Of the police force
Of this city, died at Fortress Monroe satur-
day evening, In the G5th year OF his age.
MI. Cox was taken III on the oath OF June
last with pneumonia, caused by getting
wet In the rain. He remained sick at his
home, Eleventh and ii streets, for some.
time, and last Tuesday he and bis daughter
went to Fortress Monroe, hoping that a
change Of air and'scene would benefit him.
Shortly after arriving there he gradually
grew worse, aud Inflammation Of the bowels
setting in, lead TO his death. The de-
ceased was appointed on the detective
force April 1, 1888, few weeks after
Maj. Dye assumed command OF the de-
partment. Socially he was liked and
admired by all who came In contact with
him. He was man Of excellent educa-
ton and polished manners. His home was
for many years In Georgetown, and at the
outbreak OF the war he cast his lot with
the south, and when the war ended he
came out OF the army a colonel, with the
rank OF brevet brigadier general. lie had
pleasant ways about him that made him .
companion much to be sought after. At
all times, when In any agreeable frame OF
mind, he possessed versatile power COM
handing respect For a man OF his age he
was wonderfully active and energetic.
Though short time a member OF the de-
tective corps, his record was that
Of a faithful and painstaking officer.
He spared neither time nor rest In the per-
Torrance Of his duty and was verv success
full in doing whatever was assigned TO him.
He has several relatives living here, among
them Judge Walter s. Cox, OF the supreme
court District OF Columbia, aud Richard s.
Cox. Detective Cox's wife died some
years ago. He leaves grown up daugh-
ter. The body will arrive here this morn
ing on the boat, and the funeral will take
place this afternoon. Mai. Walker will
announce to-day, in general order to the
department, the death Of Mr.. Cox, aud
make the necessary arrangements for the
funeral so far as the police department is
concerned. 1t is probable that the inter-
ment will be made at Oak Hill Cemetery.

A LECTURE ON BLUNDERs.
Men Should Not Embark in Under
takings Unknowingly.

takings Unknowingly.
Rev. G. Herbert Richardson, ct the Nc
Kendree Church last evening, spoke on
"Blunders." He took his text from psalm
xxx: lei saith to myself Take heed
of thy way that thou sin not with thy
tongue. will keep my mouth with bride
while the wicked is before me-"
The preacher told just what'a blunder
meant as defined by Webster, and pro-
ceeded to explain that the word blunder-
buss was derived from 1t, and illustrated
the word by a comparison OF that weapon
Of destruction with laundering man. The
blunderbuss was fired Unfortunately into
q crowd without taking aim. 1t was pow
erful, but, like man without straight
forward purpose, 1t worked to bad effect.
The first thing for man to do In
life was to take a just measure Of
his abilities and to engage In such enter
prises as he should judge that another with
similar ability would succeed in. Referring
to Bible illustration for his remarks he
spoke of Saul putting his armor on David
and telling him TO fight the Philistines.
But David would not wear the armor, and
instead took his sling and five stones and
went forth to slay the enemy; judging
rightly his abilities. So it was every mans
duty TO select means for the accomplish
ments of his objects In life that were
familiar to him, and thus save himself from
the blunders committed by men embarkiug
in unknown undertakings with no knowl-
edge Of proper methods for their accom-
plishments.

The Democracy here Is hopelessly divided,
not alone by national, but local Issues.
The local option law enacted at the last
session OF the legislature continues TO grow
as piercing thorn in the sides Of the Dem
ocrAtic party. That party was especially
pledged TO the Blair bill and to the repeal
Of internal revenue. The former has been
quietly shelved In the Democratic vault
there to sleep the sleep Of the unwelcome
guest. Trigg has voted with Morrison,
and, as Morrison is pledged against all In
teTnal revenue reform, his claims before the
people are now counted for only 30 much
campaign clap.trap promises, only to be
broken when opportunity arises. The fed

instances amounting TO so per cent. Out Of
the 500 suitors attending the court, II is
safe to say, 400 were prior TO 1884 Demos

truthfully believe twenty-five will vote for

to him by his constitu 'nts since he has
been posing as congressman.

be the Republican candidate from this dis

cede Mr.. Bowen's election should the party
