The Sweet Bye nd-Bye.'

Selected.
Is there any one who has not sung
the '.Sweet Bye-and- Bye" 1t has been
translated in many languages and is
destined to live forever. This beautl-
ful song was first published in 1868 and
was written for the "Signet Ring
Sabbath school music book published
By Lvon and Healy. Chicago.
The author Of this hymn is :. Fill
moro Ronnet, native Of Richmond.
IL. and engaged in tie practice ol
medicine. The hymn was written III
the village 81 FlI1horn, Wisconsin,
under the following circumstances
Flkhorn was the home OF the composer.
J. F. Webster, who was exceedingly
nervous and subject to seasons Of de
preston. On one occasion he came
into the establishment OF Bennett and
walking to the stove turned his back
without speaking Bonnet was at his
desk writing. Presently he turned and
said. "Webster, what Is the matter
now?" 1T is no matter, it Will be all
right by-and-bye,' he replied. Bennett
saws the idea Of the hymn came to HIM
like flash of sunlight and he replied
s.The sweet bve-and-bye Why would
not that make a good subject for a
hymn ?" MAYBE it would replied
Webster indiTerentIy Bennett turned
to his desk and rapidly penned the
words OF the hymn
There's land that IS fatrer than day,
And bv faith we shall see it afar;
For the Father waits over the way,
To prepare Ms dwelling place there.
CHORUS
In the sweet hye-and-bye,
We shall meet on that beautiful
shore.
In the sweet bve-and-bye,
We shall meet on that beautiful
shore.
We shall sing on that beautiful shore
The melodious songs of the hlest;
And our spirits shall sorrow no more,
Not q sigh for the blessings OF rest

THROWN Down AN EMBANKNIENT.-
A southbound freight train on the
Washington Southern Railway was
thrown from the track shortly after II
o'clock last night at the bridge over
Hooff's run, about two squares from
the city's limits, and six cars were de-
molished by being hurled down the en-
bankment, which is about 20 feet high
at that point The cars were loaded
with coal, machinery, &C., and are a
total wreck, having turned completely
over in their tumble down the bank.
The engine, tender and caboose re-
manned on the track. the cars in the
middle of the train only becoming de-
rallied. About thirty yards of the rails
were torn up. Fortunately no one en-
ployed on the train was hurt, though it
seems miraculous that all should have
escaped injury. A wrecking train was
Immediately seht to the scene and the
running of trains was in no wise imped-
ed, the southern tracks being used in
order to get around the wreck. The
cause of the accident is not known,
though the more plausible theory is
that there 'vas spreading of the rails.
4 large crowd was attracted to the spot
to-day, and wreckers have been
working assiduously in repairing the
track and in clearing away the debris.

Laughlin. Mr.. H. d. McIAtyre, as an
l1unced IN tie GAZETTE some days
AGO has sold his interest in the club to
Nr. fora Hill, and Mr.. Egan has an
r1Inced his intention of selling mis-
ock to Messrs. Carr and Mclaughlin.
Ii is understood that Mr.. ]. NJ. Hill has
iaterposed an objection 10 the latter
transaction, and the matter was the
subject OF warm discussion at yester-
DAYS meeting. Mr.. Hill, it is said, has
declared positively that he will not
agree TO any man becoming interested
in the Virginia Jockey Club who has
been in any way connected with tracks
at Gutenberg, Clifton, or Gloucester
There Is supposed to have been con-
tract among the original organizers Of
the club that no member should dispose
0. his stock 10 other parties without the
consent of his colleagues. Just how
the matter will end is not known, but
the impression is that as Mr.. Hill al
ready owns controlling interest in the
club, he will buy up the shares over
which the dispute has arisen, and that
he and Mr.. Kirk will run the club to
salt themselves
The New York SIN says: Mr.. H. D.
McIutyre. the secretary of the Brook
lyn and Virginia Jockey clubs, said
Yesterday afternoon that there was no
trath in the rumor that he had sold
his stock in the latter organization
The statement that the Virginia Jockey
Club will cut loose from the Jockey
Club is also without truth. Mr.. Nc
9rtyre says there has been no depart
urc from the plans adopted last au-
tumn A large number of horsemen
called at the rooms of the Brooklyn
Cockey Club and expressed their sat-
isjactior at the situation of affairs in
Virginia. A large number of horses
have already been put in training with
q view to participation in the s'akes
and purses offered by the Virginia
Jockey Club, whose meeting is sched-
uled TO begin on March I.
The Herd}d says h. ID. Mcintyre
denies the rumor that he has sold his
interest in the st. Asaph race track to
Dennis Mclaughlin and J. c. Carr.
Mr.. Mcintyre says there has been some
talk that Thomas f. Egan might dis
pose of his stock to Messrs. McLaugh-
liz 4 Carr, but that he himself would
retain his interest in the property. Mr..
Mcintyre further says there is no in
Sention of breaking away from the
Jockey Club, but that on the contrary
an effort will be made to provide high
class racing at the coming spring meet
ing. It's possible that the Alexander
Island people may apply to the Jockey
Club for license, and if successful
there ought to be plenty of good racing
at Washington under the recent agree
ment between the two tracks this
spring.
