TIE EXPLOSION OF THE KENOsHA-The Mil
waukee Sentinel gives the particulars of the
explosion of the propeller KenOsha, from
which we quote.


She exploded her boiler ON Tuesday morn
ing at 10 o'clock, while backing out Of her
pier at sheboygan.


The cause of the explosion was super
heated steam in the boiler.


The accumulation OF super-heated steam
burst through the furnace top, on the open
ing Of the throttle valve, and the reaction of
the escaping torrent threw the boiler which
is a verticle one, of the shape known as the
"bee-hive,' ~ out Of its place and against the
steam pipe.


The clerk was in the Office at the time of
his death The Office and the adjoining part
of the boat was completely torn TO pieces,
and, what seems almost Incredible, the dis
placing of the boiler did not even start
plank in her hold, and she came to Milwau-
kee without taking in drop Of water.


The real cause of the accident was, as we
have stated, the steam becoming super
heated bv means Of the iron stay bars which
support the top of the furnace. These bars
were covered with coating of lime sedi
ment, which renders them essentially non
conductors in the water, but obviously con-
ductors of the heat from the top Of the fur
mace or crown plate to the steam above.


The first motion communicates to the
water by the opening Of the throttle valves
under the pressure of this super heated
steam converted into steam instantaneOusly,
with the fatal result We have seen.

"a Janh coafess'd is half redress'a."
A simple saying, brief and wise;
The ready truth is ever best,
If truth without isguise.
If, in weak and angry hour,
We utter bitter words and strong,
Oh let us strive with all our over
To rectify the wrong.
If FIVE attempt to mar and stain
A fellow-being's peace and name
what does our selfish spirit gain
But trettulness and shame?
Remember that we but distress
Another's quiet and our own;
Then let us hasten to confess,
AID, if we can, atone.
But there are deeds done in the dark
More baneful still than careless speech
lis when we single out q mark
That secret spite may reach;
An arrow from an unseen hand
Is wingd to wound somo gultless breast
And who can such foe Withstand,
Hidden and unconfcss'd?
God judgeth justly, nnd will bring
Grief for the mischief that we do
We cannot work an evil thing
But we shall suffer too.
Then let us lay the bosom bare
Before the injured one and Heaven,
And, in gush Of heartfelt prayer,
Confess and bo forgiven

SHOCKING Academia GIRL KILLED WHILE
Tied TO Cow.-The Albany Argus of June
Sth, says "A terrible accident occurred in
the town of Delhi, Delaware county, a week
ago yesterday, which resulted in the death of
a little girl, seven years old The parties to
the sad occurrence were VIM. Scott, a boy sew
enteen years old, and his half-sister, Elizabeth
Dolby, the victim. The boy had been sent to
take the cows TO pasture, the little girl accom-
panying him. He had with him a piece of
rope, with which he was to bring back some
hay. On his way he playfully tied one end of
the rope around the body of his sister, and the
other end TO the cows tail. When the COW had
proceeded short distance in this way, followed
BY the girl, the latter stumbled and fell, which
so frightened the COW that she ran of at a
furious rate, dragging the poor girl after her


After running some distance the girls head
struck a solid rock, crushing in the skull, and
at the same tinse ths cows tail pulled out, so
great was the force of the resistance. The girl
was also badly cut around the face, neck, and
head She was taken up by the boy and car
rled nome, where she breathed but two OF
three times before expiring The boy is said
TO be rather deficient in intellect, and it is not
supposed that he realized the imminent danger

Terrible Domestic Tragedy In New Orleans
AN INJURED HUSBAND TAXES THE LAW INTO


HIS OWN HANDS, AND Is HELD TO HAVE
ACTED JUSTLY.


From the New Orleans Delta, June71


We mentioned yesterday that Joseph Will
liams, charged with the killing of George ST
Howe, the night clerk of the fourth distric-
statlon-house, had been discharged by Recor
der Summers The following is the statement
made in writing to the court:


STATEMENT or JOSEPH C. WILLIAMS
have suspected George Howe for more than
a year OF having designs upon my wife, and
have been convinced for four month past that
be was carrying on criminal intercourse with
her He met her at several places, visited my
house during my absence, and was seen coming
out Of il at O'Clock in the morning.


L forbade him my house, and warned him
never to go there again. He repeatedly re-
turned, and was invariably warned to cease
his visits.


On Friday, before my arrest, had long
talk with him, and he pledged himself never
to come to my house again and spoke in the
highest terms of my wife's character. took
a drink with him and then parted, he renew
ing the promise never to visit nv wife I felt
quite unhappy, but did not know what further
to do.


About O'Clock that night 1 undressed to
60 to bed, when knock was heard at the
No'i' Nlo went 10 lne door, and
asked who was there. 1 heard Howe say. I
want to see Mr.. Williams, the id rascal.
L then came out into my parIor, and Howe
abused me and cursed me, shook a cane at
me, and said | had been speaking about him
and my wife, and that l was id lying


lie repeated the oath, and placing his hand
behind his back, took hold Of pistol 1 then
went back into my chamber and got the revol-
yer always carry when travelling / said to
him, when l came back, "Go out, will talk
to You outside" He refused to leave re-
ne"ed his curse, and presented his pistol He
was beside himself with rage, and was on the
point OF shooting me down in my own house,
when fired at him. My wife Immediately
seized my arm, and my pistol was twice dis
charged in the struggle


L acted altogether in self defense against a
man who had first seduced my wife and then
come to my dOmicile to seek a quarrel, and
murder me before my wife and my innocent t
children. L am very sorry to have been
Obliged to act in this manner, and to have been
driven to the necessity of shedding human
blood; and it weighs heavily upon my heart.


But before this court and before my country.

was obliged to do it for my own preservation

. 4 few days since Mr.. Blake, (Buck Republi
can) member of Congress from Ohio, INTRODUCED
the following preamble and resolution
Whereas the chatteizing of humanity and the
holding OF persons us property is contrary TO
natural justice and the fundamental principles OF
our political system, and is notoriously reproao
to our country throughout the civilized world,
and II serious hindrance to the progress Of repub-
licGn liberty among the nations of the earth -
Therefore,


RcSoircd, That the committee on Judiciary he,
and the same are hereby instructed to inquire into
the eXpediency Of reporting bill giving freedom
to every human beng, and the Introduction OF
slavery wherever Congress has the constitutional
power to legislatc on the subject.


The vote was taken upon the resolution with
the following result go yeas, and lO9 nays


When the British employed their savage allies
they always insisted that they could control their
lerocity. In like manner the Black Republicans
have insisted that their Abolition associates were
powerless, and prelGctly under the command of
the Republican leaders. This imposition was
exposed however, when the Hon. Mr.. Blake asked
Congress for bill 'giving" freedom to every
human being and still more when it was found
that sixty members of Congress were in favor of
the abominable proposal Amongst these names
will be found the men who stuck to Sherman and
elected ngton-amOngst the names which
advocate this revolutionary doctrine is to be found
that of Sherman himself There may he found
two of the Washburne's Colfax and Buringame
There the name of Carter, who had imposed
himself upon the country as II silver-gray Wing,
of modcra'e tendencies. In word there are
sixty members Of the Black Republican party in
favor Of considering u bill to abolish slavery

you think your children are less likely to be

deceived. Awake to a sense of your duty;
and of the danger which may await your
children. Spare no pains in warning them
of the danger Of touching any thing that in
toxicates use every means in your power to
make them hate drunkenness and if they
should ever become the slaves Of Alcohol and
at last ruin themselves, you will feel that
you have done your duty. But we do be-
lieve that if every father, mother and sister
who feel interested in the temperance cause
would avail themselves Of every opportunity
of advising those who have not become habit
uated to drinking, that drunkenness would
grow more and more disreputable, till shame,
if nothing else, would cause men to remove
forever the fiery beverage. Behold these fami-
lies where the children have been accustom-
ed to seeing their father drink his three drains
day, and what is the result? Do the chill
dren look upon it as dangerous or disreputa-
bic? Or do they not on the contrary, look
upon drinking as reputable, and soon learn
to quaff down the Internal liquid, as if it were
honorable and right? Father, mother, how
can you be so blind to the interest of your
children. In the midst of all the evils which
flow from drinking of the multitude of ru-
jned characters. of the thousand other evils,
flowing like a liquid fire from the abominable
habit of dram drinking, how can you with
hold your influence from promoting the
cause of temperance, which has done, Is do
ing, and will continue to do more towards
impeding the progress Of drunkenness than

delicate ia the highest degree. We are as
tonished that any young girl should hold
herself SO cheap as this. With an excepted
lover it is of course all right Even in this
case the likeness should be returned il the
engagement should, By any misunderstanding,

If this little paragraph should meet the
