MORE novelties are the result of ac-
cident than is generally supposed. The
origin of blue tinted paper came about
by mere slip of the hand. William
East, an English paper maker, once up
on time set his men to work and went
at dinner Mrs. East accidentally let a
blue bag fall into one of the vats of
pulp. Alarmed at the occurrence she
determined to say nothing about it.
Great was the astonishment of the
workmen when they saw the peculiar
color of the paper, and great the anger
of Mr.. East when he returned and
found that q whole vat of pulp had
been spoiled. After giving tho paper
made from it warehouse room for four
years, Mr.. East sent it up to his agent
in London to be sold "for what it would
fetch" "For what it will fetch !" said
the agent, misunderstanding the mean
ing; "well it certainly is novelty, bat
he must not expect too much" So he
sold the whole at an advance upon the
market price, and wrote to the mills
for as much more as he could get. The
surprise Of Mr.. East may be imagined.
He fastened to his wife, who found
courage 10 confess her share in the for
tunate accident, and to claim a reward
which she received in the shape of q
new cloak. Mr.. East kept his secret
for short time, supplied the market
with the novel tint, until the demand
far exceeded the supply, and other ma
kers discovering the means used, com
peted with him.

We learn from the Ottawa Citizen that
Tor some time past the work Of removing
the remains Of the departed from the old
Roman Catholic burying-ground to the
new cemetery has been going quietly on,
and nothing more than might be expected
under the circumstances occurred until the
other day. The sacred ashes have been
reverently taken from their narrow beds
and removed by the hands of loving friends
to the new city of the dead Affecting in.
cidents have naturally occurred, and some
scenes bordering on the revolving have
been witnessed in the old cemetery. Re.
Gently unburied bodies have been uncof-
fined that fond eyes might gaze upon their
features for last time before covering
them with the sod again. One such Incl
Gent VI startling nature occurred last
Tuesday. A gentleman who was engaged
in removing the remains of some Of his
deceased relatives, was asked BY an ac-
quaintance, who was similarly engaged,
to assist him in lifting a coffin from
grave. He did so, and the lid was taken

spectators who gathered around it, they
discovered that the body. which was that

collin. 1t was terribly contorted, as if the
deceased had died in great agony. The
face wore an expression of intense pain
and horror. the arms were drawn up as far
as the coffin would admit, and the head
was twisted round to the shoulder, from
which the flesh apparently had been gnaw-
ed by the struggling man. Sickened by the
horrible sight, the spectators drew back
from the coffin, and looked speechlessly
into each others eyes. Not word was
spoken, but there was not man present
who did not feel that the deceased had
been buried alive-probably while in u
had awakened only to perish
in his living tomb. The coffin was closed
again and taken to the new cemetery,
where it was decently inferred Every
precaution was taken to hush up the affair,
but it had got abroad, and now we publish
it without giving name.

The Commercial, Of yesterday. contains "a
Card,' slgned by the Attending Physicians
Tins card alleges that smallpox and measles "may
in their earlier stages be readily mistaken for
each other" 1t further says that .durng the
past week no less than three Of measles have
been admitted to the hospital. two OF them with
a physIcian's certificate that they were affected
with small. pox. One OF them is a woman with
baby at the breast, which will, of course, be very
liable to take the smallpox. IN which case it will
almost inevitably die. A little care would have
prevented this cruel wrong"


1t Is possible the profession of medicine is very
much abused, and that there those practicing
as 'phy scans who have neither the education,
gifts qualities that are requisite to render sue
cessiuI service. We make no charge OF this kind
but certainly are warranted in drawing such in
ference from the card of the Attending Physi-
cans


Such "a card should receive the attention Of
the Medical Profession as a body.

cal position deem it necessary to promugate the
terrible lack of knowledge amcng practitioners

measles are sent to the smallpox hospital
".ith physicians certificate that they were
affected with smallpox" it is high time that
something was done or said to awaken the people
to sense of the peril they are running from
the existence Of ignorance, which amounts1 to
cnminalty on the part OF the accused in the card

The Administration repudiates the pol
icy of making peace between the sections,
and of desisting from the persecution OF
the South. Mr.. Greeley, seeing that ac-
tual fighting had ceased seven years, and
| that to continue to make the South the
theatre Of military operations, was a
crime against liberty and humanity and
an insuperable obstacle to the restoration
of national prosperity-has proposed
that the sections shall clasp hands across
| the bloody chasm-that civil authority
shall be supreme over the military, and
that citizens shall enjoy the largest iber-
ty consistent with public order. Mr..
Boutwell,, a member of the Cabinet, in
his North Carolina speeches takes occa-
sion to emphatically reject, on behalf of
the Administration, this wise and hu-
name policy. He is thus reported:
RALEIGH, n. C.,July I7.-Secretary Bout
well in a speech at Greensboro North Caro-
| lima protested against the advice to clasp
hands across the bloody chasm. The chasm
must be filled up. 1t was produced by in
justice; let it be cemented with justice. 1t
cannot be filled by denial of protection
o the native-born citizens OF North Caroli-
IA, South Carolina and Texas He cOun-
selled his hearers to be not seduced by the
idea that The Democrats aro supporting a
Republican for the Presidency, and said
that if their candidate could offer, what he
cannot o1fer-a consistent life in the past
as pledge of his policy in the future, even
this would be without value, in tue pres
ence of the fact that nearly all his supporters
are from the Democratic party. In the ma
ture OF things the bloody chasm cannot be
filled until fixed majority of the South ac-
cept the doctrine not only that men are
equal before the law, but that all men by
rights are equal before the law.


This simply that it docs not suit
the partisan purposes of the Radical
leaders to have peace between the feder-
al government and the So thern States,
and the pretense urged is that they are
not in good faith accepting the results Of
the war and yielding obedience to the
national authority. The assumption is
as false as the policy on which it is based
is heartless and cruel. The impOverish-
ed and oppressed people of the South
have every motive to pursue pacific and
orderly course; and they have done so
except in rare cases where the provoca-
ton to violence has been irresistible in
consequence of the corruption and bad
faith of the class who have been put in
authority over them.


Our object, however, is not so much to
refute the preposterous assumption on
which the policy of prescription is advo-
Gated by the extreme Radicals, as to di-
rect attention to the fact and to appeal to
the men of the South by every consider
alton Of self-preservation to dedicate all
their energies to the good work of accom-
plishing change in the administration

The election in North Carolina will
take place on the first Thursday in Au-
gust. The Administration is using both
sword and purse to carry it. Mr.. Beck,
Congressman from Kentucky, writes that
two hundred and twenty three thousand
dollars have been carried into the State
for distribution by the United States
Marshall and at the same time Boutwell,,
in behalf Of the Administration, is MAX
ing stump speeches, and threatening a
continuance of the war upon the citizens
of the State, if they presume to exercise
their right of suffrage in a manner dis
pleasing to the Grants at Washington.

THE stock growers in Colorado and other northern sections from this lati- tude, have lost heavily by this cold Winter. However rich their grasses may remain during the whole year, they are net available in such Winters as the present one, and if they were, the unsheltered stock would perish from the inclemelcy of the weather. In nearly every part of Arizona, plenty of good grass is accessible to stock every day in the year, and the weather is always so mild that shelter would be useless. A letter just received from Colorado, puts inquiries on these points. But there is no use to particularly parade these facts, for they must be accompanied by the aggravating one that the Indians are yet worse on stock than the most rigorous Winters, so our Colorado neighbors need not be jealous of our climatic advantages.
