DEATH.-Wo have never read anything
moro beautiful than the following from the
pen OF George d. Prentice -


There is hut a breath of air and a beat Of
the heart betwixt this world and the next
And in the brief interval of painful and awful
suspense. while we feel that death is present
with us. that We are prweress. and he all
powerful, and the faint pulsatiou here is but
the prelude of endless life hereafter, we feel
IN the midst Of the stunning calamity about
to betali US, that the earth has no compensa-
ting good to mitigate rhe severity of our loss.
But there is no grief without some benefcent
provision to soften its intcnseness. When
the good aud lovely die, the memory of their
good deeds, like the moon beams on the stormy
sea, lights up our darkened hearts and lends
to the surrounding gloom beauty so sad. so
sweet. that we would not if we could dispel
the darkness that environs it."

The New Orleans FGcoyune describes an
interesting interview between Major General
Hancock and the Chief of Police of that city.
The latter official, it appears, had certain
prisoners in his custody, and had determined
to disObey writ of habeas corpus issued from
civil court. The account in the Pfcgyune
thus refers to the interview:


General Hancock stated to Major William

that writ of habeas corpus had been issued.

DISSATISFACTION OF SOUTHERN RAD1-

They say it is scarcely probable that the

Every vote, both black and white, which
was given agaiuss the Conservative party
at the last election, was the assassin's
stab at the liberties of the great mass Of
whites throughout the State. Proserip-
ton of the most infamous character was
then intentionally and maliciously carried
out toward those who desire peace and
prosperity. And beside this, robbery of
the basest kind was also meant. The Con-
servatives desired equal rights among all
classes and a united effort so heal the dis

the potatoes should not be laid within

TERRIBLE ACADEMIA LADY CARRIED
OVER TRENTON FALLs.-The Utica IN. "
Herald of September Sd says:


A sad accident occurred at Trenton Falls
on Saturday afternoon. by which a lady
named Mrs. Jane Buckmaster came to her
death. Mrs. B. and her husband, together
with a gentleman named De La Cuesta, left
MOore's Hotel about ] O'Clock to visit the
falls. They had passed some of the most
dangerous places along the route. and had
ascended nearly to what is known as the
" Rocky Heart" a place considerable dis
tance above the Retreat" The path at
this point was so narrow that the party were
obliged to walk in single file, Mr. B. taking
the lead, followed by Mrs. B. about ten feet
behind and Mr.. De La Cuesta in the rear
The rock was very slippery and the party
were carefully picking their way along the
path, which is about six feet above the
water. Suddenly Mr.. Cuesta saw the lady
reel and fall down the precipice. and with
out uttering word or scream disappear in
the vortex below. She did not seem to slip,
but fell as if she had been attacked by sud
den dizziness. The water rushes very swift
ly by these rocks and in many places is
broken by eddies and whrlpoos. Into one
of these the unfortunate lady plunged head

her beyond the reach of human assistance.
1t was with the greatest difficulty that the
husband could be restrained from throwing
himself into the water and attempting the
rescue of his wife. Had he done 50 he would
in all probability have added another victim
to the coroner's list. The body was carried
over two falls and finally the skirt of the un.
fortunate woman caught on the rocks a few
feet under water near the shore, and opposite
the side from which she fell in. 1t was tho
merest chance that the body was carght in
this way. The unfortunase lady was taken
from the water about two hours after falling
in. OF course life was entirely extinct. A
severe wound on the forehead, probably re.
ceived from coming in contact with rocks on
going over the falls, would alone have caused
her death. Mrs. B. was resident of New
York city, living at ll5 East Thirty seventh
street. She came to the Falls last Saturday,
in company with her husband and three
children. The body went to New York for
interment.

DISEASE Produced BY SLEEPING ToGETH-
ER.-During the night there is considerable
exhaltation from our bodies, and at the same
time we absorb a large quantity of the sur.
rounding air. Two healthy young children
sleeping together will mutually give and re-
ceive healthy exhaltations; but the old,
weak person near a child will, in exchange
for health, return weakness. A sick mother
near her daughter communicates sickly
emanations to her if the mother has a
cough of long duration the daughter will
sometime cough and suffer by it if the
mother has pulmonary consumption, it will
ultimately be communicated to her child
1t is known that the bed of consumptiye is
powerful and sure source of contagiou, as
well for men as for women, and the more
so for young persons. Parents and friends
ought to oppose as much as is in their power
the sleeping together of old and young per.
sons, OF the sick and of the healthy. Another
reason ought to forbid every mother and
nurse keeping small children with them in
the bed Notwithstanding the advice of pru.
denee, no year passes that we do not hear
