A Passenger Car Leaves the Rails and
 Four Men Will Die.

TROY, Jan. 23.-A serious railway acci- dent occurred this afternoon on the Salem branch of the Delaware and Hudson road, from the results of which four men will probably die. Many others are badly in- jured. The accident took place on curve 8 mile west of Baskerville, between Shushan and Salem. The train was forty-ive min. utes late and tried to make up some of this before reaching Eagle Bridge, where it con- meets for Troy. The train was composed of the engine, one baggage and mail car and two passenger coaches. As it rounded the curve the coach next to the last car of the train left the track and bumped over the ties for a few feet before leaving the track. This it did in wild series of somersaults, turning over st least three times before reaching the foot of the embankment. The car behind followed. In the car first mentioned were seated about sixteen passen- gers. When the plunge occurred they were all injured. David Owens, Western Union lineman, and Conductor Charles Frost will die, while Clark Rice of Cambridge, Clarence Stoddard of Granville and Martin H. Stevens of Shushan are seriously and perhaps fatally injured. John H. Shields, Miss Annie Shields, Nellie Tierney and several others whose names are not ascertained are badly cut and bruised.

The Scarcity of MOcking Birds.

An obseivant gentleman of our city
says he thinks ho hears fewer OF the
South greate't ougsters, the hooking
birds, now warbling. than ever before,
and believes that the feathere1 singers
are abandoning this section. The only
way he can account for their disapp ear
anco is the advent in this section of
those little pests, the English sparrows.
They are turbulent and pugnacious lit
tic birds, and all other birds which do
not possess the same characteristics
make haste to abandon their favorito re-
treats and leave the sparrows in posses
sion of the field. 1t would be great
pity, indeed, if the South's favorto
birds should lie forced out or cxtcrmi-
mated by the Eagli'h srarrows. 1 Nat

DefOrmities.

Mr.. enjamin H. Brewster, formerly
attorney general of the United States,
who died last March, was known as ono
of tho foremost jurist' and most elo-
quent orators in the country. An Incl
dent of his childhood gives deeper
significance to his success and TO his
useful life.
When he was q schoolboy of twelve,
he was accidcn tally burned; the SIGHT
of one eye was destroyed, and his face
was left hopelessly SCARED and dis
torted for life. The misfortune was
the greater as he had been a singular
ly handsome lad, ald belonged to a
family noted for beauty.
When the boy looked in tho glass
for the first time, he was silent awhile,
and then said, resolutely, Il will
make the best of it. 1t shall make no
difference in my life"
His father, to spare him, proposed
that he should receive private instruc-
ton, live in retirement and go into
some business in which he would not
be exposed to tho gaze OF the curious,
but Benjamin boldly returned to school,
passed through college, studied law,
and entered into politics and society.
He was an indcfatigable student; he
practced every art which could make
him attractive to others.
The result was that he achieved high
rank, and held it for half century not
only among the statesmen of the coun-
try, but as one OF the most popular men
in society. He had hosts of friends;
strangers, after the first startled glance,
yielded to the irresistible charm of his
manner, and forgot tho blurred face.
Having ''made the best of it, so long,
it is probable that he also forgot it.
Fawcett, the late postmaster-gene
of England, when he became blind at
10, declared, ut shall not change my
purposes in life whit"
II will write such books" said the
elder Dumas, "that France shall forget
my black face"
If any ambitious boy among the read
ers of the Companion is handicapped by
a personal defect, it may give him cou;-
age to remember how many great men

held him down to the bed and tied a
cloth round his mouth; when the poker
was hot she held it on him for about
thEeo minutes. She took him off the
bed by the hair Of the head and flung
him on the floor. She picked him up.
She severely banged his head against
tho door till q neighbor came out to see
what was the bang. She bit a piece
out of his arm. Ihave often seen her
do the like. Irecollect once the boy
coming to me to borrow file, afterward
l went into their room as he was crying.
I tur1ed up his clothes and saw that his
back was rough and blee1ing. l said to
his mother, "Whatever did you do this
forp She said, because he took a
piece of sugar." She had filed his back
with the file l lent her.

Whore America Got Its Name

Amerigo Vespueci, the Florentine
navigator, has usually been credited
with comforting his name upon the
western world, a circumstance which
has caused no end of regret to many his
torians, who argue that it should have
been called Columbia, in honor of the
illus trious discoverer. The researches
oiThomas de st. Bris, in his Discovery
ofthe ORR gin of the Name of America
seem to show that the name America"
was derived from the native nam
of Central America and the northern
portions of South America, which, it is
well known, were among the very first
localities visited and colonized by the
Spaniards. The name was variouSly
written by early navigators, who adopted
what seemed to each the nearest imi-
tation of the native word. Thus we
have an ANA America. To this was
frequently added the raca, Ameroco,
Maraca, Moraca, and finally the native
word ''pana," which, according to Sir
Walter Raleigh, is the equivalent of
country. 1t seems strange that these
facts should have remained so long in
obscurity, although it is perhaps not less
remarkable than that the Morse dis
coveries during the tenth century should
only recently begin to attract attention.
These names actually occur on the maps
and charts of the spaniards, and the
author has given reproduction of one
of them, showing the geographical
knowledge available during the oarly
part of the fifteenth century.-[Public

This opening is the only chimney, and

At the back of the room is square

their ancestors to be one of the most

On entering All Suns house l nearly
stumbled over an old fat pig that lay in

two rude bamboo chairs, and hardly had
we taken our seats when the room was
crowded full and some natives had
climbed upon ladder to look at us.

feeling our hands and faces, and our
hats, clothing, buttons and shoes Sit

crowd, I drew out my note book to make
