Serious Railway Accident.

" CHICAGO, ILL.,, March 2S.-[Special. l.
Last night the express on the Michigan
Central Railroad, which leaves this city
at 9 o'clock p. M, met with a serious
accident at the crossing little south
of Burnside. A Toledo, Wabash 4,
Western freight train ran into the rear
sleeper of the passenger while under full
headway. Many passengers were i'll
iured. Several were seriously hurt; but
at this hour it is not known that any
were killed. The sleeper was derailed
and almost entirely demolished. Sew
eral cars of the freight train were tele-
scOped. The engineer and tiremen on
the freight engine leaped in time to
save their lives, There is web in in
tersecting tracks where the acci-
dent occurred. The Michigan
Central has the right of way at
all times, and neglect of this rule
brought about the collision. The
gates were down as usual and signal
lights displayed The express train
was crossing the tracks of the Wabash
a. Western, when the freight train, un-
der full head of steam, broke through
the gates and crashed into it, The en-
gine struck the sleeper directly in the
middle and nearly cut it in two, tore
1t from its couplings and threw it from
the track.

Dairyiny in Switzerland.

In comparing Swiss with American
thrift, United States Consul Byers men
tions the important fact con rling the
Swiss practice of what Americans would
call underfeediug. The fine milk and
butter producing animals OF Switzerland
are fed on grass and hay the year
through, with very fow exceptions.
High feeding and fancy feeding with
cotton seed and oil cakes, ensilage,
boiled fodder, and all messing of fancy
fodder are but little known in that
country. Swiss cattlo- sta bles are no.
ticeable for their warmth, and are
usually low attachm .at to tho barn,
with stone walls one or two feet thick.
Tho stalls are ceilsd overhead aud Of
ten plastered throughout. The floors
are made Of stone or cement and the
doors as tight-shutting and airlcss as
those of our houses. They say 'it
save, feed;' "the COW gives moro milk
Tor warmth" AMI there are NO flies
hero to worry them to death" The
stalls are clean and mica beyond COM
parison, and the cows are kept in them
summer and winter except whom taken
out for exercise and to water. In ex-
ceptional cases few turnips, potatoes,
or shoots are fed, but it is tho general
belief that whilc artificial food meas
ures tho quantity of milk its quality is
impaired. Tho Swiss keep their grass
land in high state of fertility, and on
the lake OF Zurich it is worth from 5000
to 500 per acre. Taking the cases of
two prominent milk producers it was
found that from fl ty cows the inceme
is $4,000. the expenses $1652, leaving
net gain of $264s. Mr.. Byer, says
that three causes impressed him as fur
nishing the foundation of Swiss dairy
success, viz. First, good, sweet grass;
second, pure running water; third,
systematic economy. He suggests that
there is no reason why we cannot havo

more than half way " the mountain they
were overtaken by fearful wind and snow
storm. They descended the mountain as
rapidly as possible to n camp near the timber

companied by furious gale and binding

ing the very dangerous descent, but
two narrowly escaped losing their lives by
siding down a fathomless crevice. Lieut..

night of the Fourth Of July flashes of calcium
light from the heliograph made by United
States Signal Ofiicar Glass in this city. He
was unable to read the signals, owing TO the
great distance and murky condition of the
atmosphere, but the flashes were distinctly
visible. These flashes were answered by
Lieut. O'Neill by urning small quantities Of

A Spray Of Apple Blossoms

They lay on the broad low window ledge,
Where the hand Of little child
Had placed them, dewy, and fresh, and
sweet;
And the grandmother had smiled,
And softly stroked with her wrinkled hand
The curly, tumbled head;
And then the needles bright were still;
Unrolled the snowy thread
For, borne on the breath Of the apple bloom
She lived in the golden past;
She saw an orchard where blossom SHOWS
Were falling thick and fast,
Falling upon the the fair, bent head
or a maiden in girlhood's prime,
Reading letter, worn and creased
From folding many time.
"When the apple blossoms are here oncs
more,
shall come back, Allaire,
Shall come for my answer" The scented
wind,
Which ruffled the maidens hair,
Brought to her ears well-known voice,
She turned in a startled way:
~ have come for my answer; what is II.
dearf'
What could she do but lay
Her hands in the eager, outstretched ones'
Ahl life is SWEET in June,
When rearts keep time to the liquid flow
OF life, and light, and tune;
And when, in her snowy, floating veil,
She stood on her bridal morn.
She would have but tn tt ,ted apple bloom
Her white robe to adorn.
Through the open window the western wind
Blew soft on the wrinkled face,
When smile shone, sweet as that could be
Which had lit her girlhood grace.
A little voice called her truant thoughts:
'Grandpapa seat me to see
II you knew that the clock has been striking

And be wants you to pour his teal"

A PLEASANT REUNION.
Prof. Jacob Bickler Given an
Elegant Reception.

The Austin pupils of the Texas German
and English academy gave reunion
rece ption last night at Billeisen's cafe to
their former teacher, Prof. Jacob Bickler,
now superintendent of the public schools
at Galveston.
Mr.. West Moore, in slfew neat and off
hand remarks introduced Prof. Bickler,
who, he said, needed no commentator,
and whom he heartily welcomed on behalf
of his many pupils in this city.
Professor Bigler responded in highly
appreciative terms, and took occasion to
pay high tribute to those he had served
as their teacher, and who, he doubted not,
would prove worthy of his efforts to pro-
mote their success. In concluding he
asked the privilege of introducing to them
Prof II. L. Sellers, principal of one of
the high schoola of Galveston, and that
gentleman, in acknowledgement of the
courtesy, made a very intert sting speech.
| Mr.. Henry Roberts made very pretty
speech in proposing the toast $50 the
Old L. G. and L. A" recalling to mind
many of the pleasing incidents of school
life in current of sparkling reminis
cences.
Mr.. Robert Hicks, next in order, de-
livered an eloquent address in the presenta-
ton of beautiful gold headed cane to
Professor Bickler as a mark of apprecia-
ton of their dsting uished teacher.
Professor .Bckler accepted this token
of their regard in brief but touching re
spouse.
Professor Sellers, being again called on,
spoke in high terms of the esteem in
which Professor Bickler was held in Gal
WESTON, declaring that the people there
would not part with him.
Interesting speeches were also made by
Judge l. G.. Searcy aud o. II. Cooper, and
after a few remarks by Mr.. Warren Moore
the occasion closed with sorg, "Amer-
ica,' which was heartily sung.
There were a number of ladies present,
among them Miss Minnie Darlington, a
former pupil of the academy, who was, by
reclamation elected an honorary member
of the association.
Altogether the occasion was very inter-
estiDg.

THE TILLOTSON.
Items Of Interest From the Last
Annual Report.


Tillotson Collegiate and Normal insti-
tute was founded by the American Mis-
sionary association, and is conducted
under its auspices. 1t was opened Jan
uary II, 1881, the association having
partially sustained for some years, in
Austin, school taught by Mrs. Garland.
The association is much indebted to the
late Rev. Geo. ]. Tlllotson, of Weathers-
field, Conn, who literally contributed
money for the purchase of the lot, and by
whose efforts portion of the funds for
the erection Of Allen hall were secured.
| The hall is built of brick, five stories
high, containing rooms for sixty students;
also, parlors, young ladies' sitting room,
library, teachers rooms, recitation rooms,
dining hall and large, we'll arranged
school room. The building is located on
high ground, mile from the postoffice
and depot, and commands a fine view of
the beautiful city of Austin, the valley of
the Colorado and the distant hills.
The object of this institution is to
furnish opportunities for common school
and higher Christian education TO the COL
ored youth in the great empire" of
Texas. 1t is grand work to give such
training to these youths that they may
become qualified and inspired leaders of
their race in this country and on the con-
tinent of Africa.
The institution is not seotarian in its
religious instruction or il fuence, while
aiming to be thoroughly Christian. 1t is
open to all students of either sex.
During the last session of the institu-
ton there were 131 pupils in attendance,
and the progress made by them in the
various studies was eminently satisfactory.
The expense of attending the school is
as follows:
Terms for day pupils, per month of four
weeks:
Grammar department ........................$ 81 90
Norm and college preparatory .... .......... 50
Boarding department, per month, including
tuition, furnished room, lights and wash
Instruction on piano or organ, per month"; .. 2 50
Use of instrument per month zone hour Ter
day. ....................... .......,....... | 90
Each student is required to pay board
and tuition one month in advance unless
satisfactory arrangements are made to
/ the con'rary.)
Each student is required to give an hour
day, on an average, to some form of
labor. This secures industrial training, is
conducive to good health and right habits.
and renders it possible to keep the cost of
'ducation lower than could otherwise be
afforded.
There will be an opportunity affordc d
a limited number of worthy and needy
students to meet part of their expenses.

basis very cheap, bad whisky, and which
stimulate you for an hour and then leave
you in worse condition than before. What
you want is an alternative that will purify
your blood, start healthy action of liver
