Horrible Railroad Accident.

A terrible disaster occurred on the
Fitcbburg railroad on Wednesday, 7th
inst, midway between Bardwell's Ferry
and West Deerfeld Station, Massachu.
sets. The East bound passenger train
from North Adams, due at Greenfield at
9O5 p. M, went over an embankment 200
feet in height. Six bodies have already
been taken out of the ruins and it is not
known how many others have been killed.
The train consisted of baggage car, a
smoker, sleeping car, mail car and
two ordinary passenger cars. The point
where the calamity occurred is the most
dangerous point on the road. The track
runs on the edge of an embankment two
hundred feet above Deer6eld River,
The bank is steep and is covered with
huge boulders and masses of shale rock
with which the road bed has been filled.
When the train arrived at this point the
track commenced to settle under it for a
distance covering its entire length. The
coaches broke from their trucks and went
rolling over and over down the precipice.
The engine broke from the tender, tear
ing up the track for twenty feet. Below
rolled the Deerfeld River, on the very
edge of which the cars were thrown. AS
soon as they struck they caught Ere from
the stoves. The shrieks of the wounded
and dying filled the air, and for time
the scene was terrible. The sleeping car
was an entire wreck. 1t was occupied by
several passengers, not one Of whom at
this hour is known to have escaped in.

Cutting Crafts.

Crafts should be cut before the buds
begin to swell, and this will necessitate
doing this work the first pleasant day, as
buds will begin to swell on almost all
kinds of trees now within a short time.
Much more grating can be done to ad-
vantage on farms where there are young,
thrifty trees which bear inferior fruit.
Such trees are of no account whatever as
they now are, and it will not pay to dig
them up and put new trees in their
places, when excellent results can be
secured very much sooner by grating
them. Any one can do this with a few
trials aud save the expense of employing
q professional CRATER to do the work.

as we were getting into three fathoma
again, with intense chagrin we gave UP
the chase, sending as a parting compli.
ment an eleven inch shell with our
regrets.
As the flying stranger passed out of

flag and dipped it three times, at the

direction his adieu, steamed in under the
guns of the fort al Galveston and dropped
his anchor, safe at last. We returned
the salute and went back to our station
for the night, as it was now nearly sun

ourselves than could possibly be supposed
under the circumstances.

An ugly shell, foot and half long,

in it, and the officers and crew seemed to
take it as a matter of course. They

gaily into port with the utmost composure
and did not appear like man answering

men, but none have acted nobler part
than the brave and beautiful Queen
Esther To break the rules of al Orien-
tai court, and intrude herself upon q
selfish despot who had perhaps lost his
love for her, required courage of the
very highest order. Then hei subsequent
conduct was as wise and shrewd, as her
venture was brave. Look at her as we

our admiration to love. 1t is no wonder
that, to this day, the race to which she

courageous devotion, and in the feast of
Purim, still chant her praises. May we
all strive, like her, to trust in God and do
the right, even though death may seem

The Insult to China.

WASHINGTON, April THE Chinese
Minister at Washington has made formal
complaint to the secretary of State in
regard to the treatment of his successor
at San Francisco at the hands of the
United States customs officers. He bases
his action on information received from
the Chinese consul general at San Fran.
cisco, who, it is understood, alleges that
the new Minister and his suite were sub
iected to unusual and discourtesies on
their arrival at that port. The secretary
of State referred the matter to the acting
secretary Of the treasury, who this after
noon telegraphed to The collector of the
customs at San Francisco for statement
of the conduct of his officers in the mat
ter.
Some surprise is expressed at the
treasury department that the landing of
the Minister should have been attended
by any delay or embarrassment, in view
of the fact that the collector at San
Francisco had been specially instructed
to extend TO him the usual courtesies due
to the representative of a foreign Govern.
ment, such as allowing free entry of his
baggage and effects, and affording facul-
ties for his uninterrupted transit to
Washington or wherever else he desired
to 60.
A San Francisco dispatch Of to-day
gives the following statement of the affair
from the Chinese consul:
";Secretary Bayard sent instructions to
the collector of this port to permit the
legislation to land freely, and to extend
to them every courtesy. Just at the mo-.
ment his Excellency and suite were
about to step ashore, the surveyor inform
ed me that the collector had just sent an
order not to permit the delegation to land
until his Excellency's credentials were
sent to the eustomhouse for examination.
This was communicated to his Excellen-
cy, who expressed much surprise at the
action of the collector, remarking that
his Government had instructed him to
only present his credentials to the Presi.
dent of the United States, adding that
they were packed in his baggage under
seal; and that it would be very inconve-
nient to get at them at that time, and
that he therefore preferred to remain on
the ship until communication could be
had with Washington. Finally, after a
delay of an hour and half, the Minis
ter and suite were permitted to leave the
shin"

Professor Mcbride, of the South
Carolina College, publishes in the Cotton
Plant his test of several varieties of cot
ton for the last three years, giving yield
per acre and per cent. of lint. In 1885
Dickson's cluster headed the list with
147S pounds to the acre, making 323 per
cent. lint, or At pounds. Duncan's
mammoth made only 80 per cent. of lint,
while the Peterkin cotton made 1856
pounds to the acre, and SSs per cent of
lint or 4S0 pounds. That is 1856 pounds
of the Peterkin made 8 pounds more
lint than the 147S pounds of Dickson's
cluster. While the professor is cautious
and would not draw sweeping conclusions
from these results, he thinks they are in
favor of the Peterkin, but they also
show that the Jones and Dickson i'm
proved are also deservedly popular.
