He Declines to Make an Address,

JACKSON, Miss, Jan. 3O.-Jefferson
Davis, writing to the senate and house
of Representatives, declining their inyi-
tation to address them, says: '.It would
give me great pleasure to meet the rep
resentatives of the people l have served
so long and have loved so much
1t is reasonable to suppose
that the time is near at
hand when l shall go hence forever, and
would be glad personally to know the
men of the present generation to whom
the destiny of Mississippi is to be con-
fided. Mississippians, from the time of
her territorial existence, have borne an
honorable part in the affairs of the coun-
try and have shrunk from no sacrifices
which patriotism has demanded. Bear
ing testimony as one who comes down
to you from past age. 1 can applaud
the chivalry and integrity of old Missis-
sippi, and my highest wish is that her
future record may be worthy of the

THROUGH A BRIDGE.
Several Persons Killed by an Ac-
cident on the Lake Shore.


cident on the Lake Shore.
CHICAGO, Jan. 30.-Reports reached
this city at all early hour this morning
that long freight train, west-bound, on
the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern
railroad, had gone through bridge two
miles west of Pine, Ind. A brakeman
named Coulter is the only person re-
ported to have been killed. The train
was loaded with inflammable material
and caught fire in some manner. Many
of the cars were involved in the wreck,
and as there was no means at hand for
putting the fire, the loss will probably
be very heavy. An engine and hose
cart from the Chicago fire department
accompanied the Wrecking train which
left soon after the report was received.
Another story says that the alleged at
tempt to keep the accident a secret
caused double accident. A second
to cross the broken bridge and plunged
down on the first wreck, killing several
men at work there and also the entire
crew of the last train. The latest re-
port says that four men are known to
be dead and as many more believed to
be buried beneath the wreck.
LATER ACCOUNTS
from the scene of the accident say that
the rear car that went through the cul-
vert was loaded with hugh tank con-
tanning $500 gallons of naphtha, which
was soon poured over the wreck in
every direction. Coder, the brakeman.
was OH the car Immediately behind the
engine, and was completely buried in
the ruins. No trace of the unfortunate
man could afterwards be found. About
80 this morning several train hands
were searching among the wreckage for
COder's body when lantern ignited the
naphtha. There was flash, followed
by powerful cOncuSSlOn, and the en-
tire mass of ruins was ablaze. A tele-
gram was Immediately sent to Chicago
asking for fire engine to assist in put
ting out the fast spreading flames. In
twenty minutes the great pile of coal
and coke, thoroughly saturated with the
oil, was Seething mass of fire, and dur
ing the night the flames could be seen
for miles around. At 4 O'clock this
morning the fire engine arrived from
Chicago and the work of extinguishing
the fire began. The accident occurring
on the main line, all Lake Shore trains
for about week will be obliged to
switch to the Michigan Central to get
into Chicago. At 8 o'clock this morn
ing the fire was under control, and a
large crowd of workmen commenced
digging in the rains. Pieces of cloth

An Echo from Home.

1t is claimed that beasts can not only
be taught the meaning of human
speech, but that they are competent to
distinguish n language from another.
In this an incident IS printed in Nature,
an English scientific publication, to the
effect that n day some persons who
were visiting the JofGia des Plaates
at Paris conyersed together, sometimes
in English and sometimes in the French
language. While they were speaking
French they approached a cage in
which a rattlesnake was kept. The
reptile maintained a torpid condition
until the visitors dropped into English,
when the serpent raised his head and
regarded the visitors with interest
When they resumed conversation in
French he fell again into a stupor. but
as soon as they got back into English
the snake again manifested so much
interest that he became a subject of OBJ
servation and inquiry, when it was
found that the creature was an Ameri-
can, brought from Virginia, and was
expressing delight at hearing the speech
of his native land.
In this connection may be mention
ed an incident related by Bayard Tay-
lor. Said he ''Some years ago, see
ing the hippopotamus in Barnum's mu-
scum looking very stolid and detected
l spoke to him in English, but he did
not even open his eyes; then | vent
to the opposite corner Of the cage, and
said in Arabic, 4 know YOU /: come
here to me- He instantly turned his
head toward me ; l repeated the words
and %thereupon he came to the corner
where was standing, pressed his huge
ungainly head against the bars of the
cage and looked into my face with a
touch of delight while I stroked his
muzzle. l have two or three times
found a lion who recognized the same
language, and the expression Of his
eyes for an instant seemed positively
human.
T. idea that these wild creatures
could have their native haunts recalled
to them by a few words of familiar
speech invests them with an interest
novel and pecEliar.-Ec.
