plied: Don't be too fast: ii requires more
time to answer a question than to ask il,

donald and Greenway for the settlement of
the railroad question.

The first section of the fast mail train
from New York for Jacksonville went
through trestle at point seventy Ave
miles south Of Savannah recently. The
entire train. except the engine, was demO!-
ished. Twenty five people are reported to
have been killed and between thirty and
forty injured, ten of whom are expected to
die. The private ear Of President Wilbur

WHILE workmen were engaged in re-
moving the debris from the site Of the
recent fire at Memphis, Tenn, two skulls
and quantity of human bones were
found. On a number of bricks dug up
there WAS coagulated blood. From the
position Of the remains it is evident that
they were placed there for the conceal
ment of some crime. Years ago there was
n gambling den over the spot, and just in
the rear slave mart. Some time ago, in
digging for the foundation of new build
ing, vault filled with human bones WAS
discovered, and three wagon loads were
hauled away.
A NUMBER of gentlemen with abundant
means and influence have formed q COM

San Antonio and Arkansas Pass, and the
Missouri Pacific railways has been secured.
The scheme contemplates the erection at
the yards of first class hotel, capable Of
accommodating all stockmen who go to
that city to do business, and all the local
banks have agreed to the establishment at
the yards Of union bank.

by the late winter are small.

The passage We quote below we have
always deemed. since we first read il,
one Of the most affecting in the whole
range Of English literature. It was
with sense of pleasure We found Ed
mond Yates quoting it in o late Fort
nightly Repie,c as his favorite passage
in prose- 1t is from "The Newcomes, {"
last chapter:
$50 weeks passed away, during which
our dear old friend still remained with
us. His mind was gone at intervals,
but would rally feebly; and with his
consciousness returned his love, his
simplicity, his sweetness. He would
talk French with Madam de Florac,
at which time his memory appeared to
awaken with surprised vividness, his
cheeks flushed. and he was young
again, "a youth all love and hope. "a
stricken old man, with beard as
white as snow covering the noble care
worn face. At such times he called
her by her Christian name of Leonore; !;
he addressed courtly old words of re-
gard and kindness to the old lady /;
anon he wandered in his talk, and
spoke to her as il they were young.
Now, as in those early days, his heart
was pure; no anger remained in it; no
guile tainted it; only peace and good
will dwelt in it."
"She went into the room, where
Olive was at the beds foot; tho old
man within it talked ON rapidly for
awhile then again he would sigh and
be still; once more / heard him say
hurriedly. Take care of him when I'm
in India, and then with heartrending
voice he called out. 'Leonore Leo

now. The patients voice sank into

then announced that he was not asleep.

struck, q peculiar sweet smile shone
over his face, and he lifted up his head

neighborly kindness, her genial hospitality, and her
never-faillng sympathy in sickness and sorrow.
ReSoired, That while we sadly miss her cordial
welcome and words of cheer, we seek to find the
Divine meaning of these earthly bereavements, and
look upward for consolation.
Dear hearts are here, dear hearts
Are there, alike below, above;
Our friends now in either
World and love is sure of love"
Resoired That we extend our deepest sympathy
to the husband and daughters who, in this bercave-
ment have lost most devoted sef-sacrificing wife
and mother.
She was spared the pain of parting tears,
And much of mortal strife.

In moment to endless life.
Weep not for the swift release
From earthly pain and care,
Nor grieve that she reached her home and rest
Ere she knew that she was there"
Resoired, That these resolutions be published in
the Vermont Waterman, and copies of them he sent
to the friends of the deceased and preserved among
