A Work of Art.
Wehavo before aa a picture photographed by
Menarn-Kuhn A Smith.from a design by Matt O'Brien,
which ia certainly aa uaiqur aa anything that
ever before came under our Jfotice. It represents
Major Frank Warrfin, of the H. I Kimball House,
standing upon the aidnofclk in a most graceful atti
tude. with hi* left elbow noting composedly upon
tto^omr on the southern corner of the Hotel
The picture ia an excellent likeness of Major War-
red, hia find face and beard being deliuceted with an
admirable exactness, though it must be confessed
that all other p irtions of the body are grotesquely
ont of proportion. The legs are unduly protracted,
but that was necessary In obtaluing the jk>bc« aimed
at by the artist.
There ia genius displayed in the picture, ends
rare genius att#toi- AS a$hrtoonist Mr. O'Brlsn has
not many equals *• Ibidoduotry,'though the sketches
ha has produgsd bar* heap the result of pastime,
and not made with a view of .establishing a reputa
tion aa au artist. We have seen aome of hia sketches
that would lave done no fif«*redit to a Dorr or a
Griaet. Thar are fu$ of the happiest hmnor—ftdrly
frolicking with ftin indeed—and they satisfy us that
were Mr- O’Brien to oontdudq to geek reputation by
means of them, he would have but an easy Job of it.
The picture before us amply sliest* thts fact, though
wc have teen others' ot Ms sketches that far surpass
this.
Mr. O’Brien, a* mqHof onr readers probably know,
resides in Angnstfa and holds a high position in tits

At ibont 0 o'clock yefftaitUj Aftenx>
tha entire city was startled by .
most terrific explosion. Every booy
started at the nnosnal sound, and
even a painful look was visible on the
oountenancee of almoet every one. The
sound came from the direction of the
Maoon and Western depot, and the shock
sensibly felt. Widows rattled,
and the oscillation of the staunchest
buildings in the more immediate neigh
borhood was painfully perceptible. In
stinctively all started whence the explo-
sipn proceeded. In the harry and oon-
fonion to get there first, people h#
nbt time, or were too busy with thgjr
mental conjectures to enquire the cause
of the commotion. AU the streets lead
ing towards the Maoon and Western de
pot were literally alive with hurrying
masses. From the tops of houses and
other high places, eager eyes and anx
ious ears were strained for one sight or
sound which would in any manner ex
plain the cause of thia unusual eofunotion
of nature. Some vaguely imagined that a
FTB8T-CLASS BARTH QUAKE
had suddenly come upon us, other that
perhaps, the magazine, which is situated
out in that direction, had by some means
exploded; while the minds of others were
centered upon what was then the proba
ble condition of the Atlanta Flouring
Mills, also situated in that immediate vi
cinity. But the mystery was soon ex
plained. Before the crowd had gotten
witbin several hundred yards of the soene
of the disaster, it was discovered that a
LOCOMOTIVE ENGINE HAD BUB8TED HER
BOILER.
Then the horrible supposition flushed
upon the minds of the breathless throng
that certainly somo poor fellow-being
had been hurried into eternity. Visions
of mutilated bodies, crushed limbs and
ghastly death were pictured in all the
surrouudiugs. Numbers of people who
.vere in a position to see when the explo
sion took place, saw great bodies of some
thing they oonld not distingush flying
through the air at a fearful height Now,
these bodies were supposed to be those
of the meu employed on the ill-fated en
gine. But these horrible forehodiugs
were not of long duration. Soon the
agreeable intelligence that
MO ONE WAS KILLED
passed from mouth to mouth with almost
the rapidity of thought Then did we
breathe freer, as if a load had beeu lifted
suddenly from our bosoms.
On approaching the wreck we saw that
it was the venerable old switoh engine of
the Maoon and Western Railroad,
THE VULCAN.
Her smoke-staclc and head-light were
lifted out of their places aud lauded on
the top of a box car immediately in front
of the engine. All around was scattered
pieces of iron, bolts, bars, wood, Ac.
We learn from
MB. HANCOCK, THE ENGINEER,
that he had just reversed the steam in or
der to get on a “sidling” with eleven box
cars attached, when, aa he opened the
throttle, the explosion took place. The
furnace door was blown open, and Mr.
Hancock was thrown over fin tho wood
in the tender. Mr. Osborne, the fire
man, was the only person, besides the
engineer, on the Vulcan.
NEITHER WERE HURT.
With the exception of a slight scratch
on the engineer’s face, both these gentle
men miraculously escaped a most horrible
death.
THE DAMAGES.
The Vulcan was an old, worn out en
gine, used exclusively at this end of the
M. A W. Railroad as a “switoh” engine.
It was only the day before that she had
beeu taken out of the shop, where she
bad beeu undergoing some repairs to her
boiler, and not three hours before the ex
plosion she had been carefully examined
and appeared to be all right. The boiler
first gave way at the forward portion, and
at the bottom, but extended all the way
round, tearing away the entire front sec
tion of her works. So great was the
foroe of tbe steam that one of the trucks
was shivered into several pieces, which
were thrown some distanoe. The bell waa
blown into atoms, and some of the pieces
were found as high up as Forsyth street,
some two hundred yards away. A piece
of the boiler plate, weighing forty pounds,
was thrown agaiuHt the wall of the large
store house of A. K. Seago, corner Mitch
ell and Forsyth streets,
ABOVE THREE HUNDRED TABDfl OFF.
Another pieoe fell in the lumber yard
of Murphy and Merriam, neat' tbe above
•tore, lighting on a pile of planks and
breakiug several of them to pieees. But
THE NARROWEST ESCAPE
was made by our friend Bender and fam
ily. A rod belonging to some part of
the machinery, measuring about twelve
feet in length and weighing at least one
hundred pounds, was carried high in the
air, and fell with a crash upon the back
stoop of Bender’s bouse, oarrying away
the balusters and a portion of the stoop.
A large rent was made in the doth awn
ing in tbe rear of the house, which is
ased sa a beer garden. Fortunately
Bone of the family were at that place.
All around, pieces of boiler plate, wqoden
beans, piston rods and other portions of
the machinery were to be seen. Bnt
THE WONDERFUL ESCAl’E
of the engineer aud fireman wss truly
providential. It is alno wonderful how
ethers in the neighborhood missed the
Biany deadly missiles whioh for a while
filled the sir.
What a fortunate thing it Was that the
explosion did not take place at or near
the crossings in the heart of the city.—
Surely the satisfaction we have at this
time of chronicling the death of uo one
Wonld have been denied us.

Memphis, June 22.—A letter from Fort

the Indians of this Agency and the

now on the war path. We leffrn from
Indians, that are coming in freqnentlv,
that other bands of Camanches, that do
not belong here, are bIho alive aud that
the plains are black with Apaches. Upol
being interrogated as to numbers they
pointed to a large valley nearly, of more
than 1,000 acres, and say that would not
hold them. The Apaches have been
coming down the waters of the Colorado,
farther south, and it is most likely that
the depredations committed at Fort
South were by them.
We learn also that there is a rendezvous
west of the reservation, in what is called
the Bun Island of Texas. These the

hearing an application to moke the State
a party complainant, which, havinff been
arguod by Messrs. Lawton and Hill
against the motion, and by Mr. Anderson
in its favor, the Court decided to grunt
the application. The remainder of Tues
day was spent in hearing a discussion of
the case and its merits by Judge Lyon,
Mr. Bacon and Judge Jackson. Pending

The case is being discussed at great
length and with splendid ability on both
sides. We were not present on Tuesday,
bnt spent nearly all of yesterday in the
Court-room, and we are sure we never
heard a more interesting discussion, and
few iu which there was a greater clash of
forensic talent. The case is attracting
much attention from outsiders, and the
court room was well filled with our best
and most influential citizens.—[Macon

GRAND JURY PRESENT
MENTS.
We, the Grand JWwrw, selected. Choaen and vworn
for the April Term, 1971, of the Superior Court of
Fulton county, Gu., veepeotluUy make the fallowing
general proaentmenta;
Through appropriate wmmitteea wa have oarotully
and critically examined the Books and Records of
the Sheriff, Tax Collector, Clerk of the Superior
Court and Ordinary a. We are pleased to be able to
make a good report of each aud all of theae Officials.
Their books and papers show neatness, accuracy and
Integrity, reflecting credit on them, and through
them ou the county.
Wc would rocoinnicnd that the Sheriff hereafter,
when sales of property are made by him, enter
hia docket the name of the purchaser and the date
of the deed, aa made by him.
Wa regret tn have Pi state that the Sheriff and hia
subalterns are too negllgeut in the execution of
Benoh Warranto placed in their hands, and that thia
negligence has caused trouble iu bringing parties to
trial.
We Aud the books of the Counfy Treasurer neatly
kept and the addition! correct; we also find
rors and omissions, which we are convinced were
not intentional aud which have been corrected
books.
We regret to state that tha Public Roads of the
county are not in as good condition as they should
be, proper attention not having been given to the
mils posts, finger-boards, kc. We therefore recom
mend that the Ordinary hold the Road Commission
ers to a stricter account than heretofore, reporting
subsequent Grand Juries any delinquency on tl
part of tha officials.
Tha Alma House la well managed under the super
intendence of Mr. Laugford. There are at present
ninety-seven (97) inmates, about tweuty-aight (2R) ol
whom are supported by the county; tin- balance by
the city of Atlanta. We find the Court House
good repair, except the roof, which leaks. Wa re.
commend that the Ordinary have proper ropain
made on this at once. A new and substantial fern *
has recently been erected around the Court Hi
square. This is an improvement which has
beeu needed sml uf which we entirely approve.
The present Jail is not only insecure but entirely
inadequate to the needs of the county. We arc
pleased to state that a contract to build a new Jail for
the sum of thirty thousand dollars in short date
county beads and aeveu thousand dollars in United
urreucy, luu been awarded to those responsi
ble aud practical builders, Messrs. Alexander It
Broom head—plena aud specifications of this jail, by
tho Ordinary, having hcao previously submitted to
and approved by this body. At the suggestion of the
Ordinary a committee from this Jury, conalating of
BenJ. K. Crane, A. K. Scago, John A. Doaoe and Q.
W. D. Cook, was appointed to act with him in award
ing the contract and In exorcising a general super
vision over the building whilst it waa being erected.
As there will be a comfortable dwelling attached to
reoonimeud that tire Sheriff or hia Dep
uty be required to use this dwelling aa hia residence.
Owing to tbe dooliue iu provisions daring the
past six mouths, we recommend that the Ordinary
allow forty cento per diem for board for each prison
er oonfint d in Jail. Wa have examined carefully the
Tax Digest and the amounts needed for county pur
poses, and recommend that tho Ordinary levy not
exceeding seventy-A re per cent, on the Slate tax for
county purpose*.
Owing to the largo amount of business liefore the
Superior Court, the District Court is almost indis-
peusibie in this County. We find that Judge La*
renoe and District Attorney Irwin are discharging
their duties with i>rowptneas and fld.-l.ty; we recom
mend. therefore, that thia Court ba continued, but
should the Legislature abolish it, we request oui
their best endeavors to have t
dmilar basis, giv
ing it jurisdiction no| only over misdemeanors, but
in civil cases where the amount Involved ia not
cetiding Five Hundred Dollars.
We bsve examined into the official conduct of the
Justices and ex-officio Justices of the Peace of this
county, and whilst we have found moat of them
ing in a worthy and upright manner, we regret to
hava to state that wc ore compelled to make a differ
ent report concerning some of theae officials. We
And some of them entirely incompetent, both moral
ly and mentally, for their official positions. We find
that Uisy have settled and disposed of many
of felony which have been brought before
their CoiirU; that they bare otherwise acted
in a manner to avoid and delay the due
course of the proceedings of law ; that
settlements have been made and that these officials
luva been offered settlements with parties for cer
tain sums of money after bonds had been required
from s;ii<l parties for their appearance before the next
HuiH-rior Court—that they have failed to return to
the proper courts hundreds of cases, some of which
data back ae far as 1%'.* and some of which arc among
the gravest known to tho penal code. The very
large number of them cases forbid the assumption
that they wen the result of accident
That they have in sundry and divers cases offered to
settle with parties secured of crime, upon payment
of certain sum-* of money, which settlements are
unknown and routrary to the law.
In view of tli.se In ta we recommend our imme
diate representatives in the next General Assembly
to obtain, if poesild • the enactment of a law requir
ing aU Justices and ex-officio Justices of the Peace
to keep a regular docket of each and ovary case
brought before thorn—tho uature of tho offence and
disposition of tho case and that it be made a penal
offence, ou the i*rt of theaa Justices to omit or tail,
one or more instances, to mskc proper entries
d docket at the time when wild cases were be
fore them. Further, that they be required
hibit said docket to each grand jury during the year,
and that failure to do so lie made a penal offence.
also request our Representatives to endeavor
have tho law changed relative to parties renting
houses which are need tor gaming houses. It being
under the present law almost impossible to prevent
parties from renting houses tor thia purpose. In this
connection we also request tho present efficient
Mayor of the oit^ of Atlanta to instruct the police
officers of the city to use greater dlligenoe in ferret
ing out theae houses; to enter the same whenever
they have reason to suspect that they are
being nsod as gaming houses; to arrest and
to lie bound over to tbe next 8upo-
Gonrt all parties found engaged in
gaming therein aud by tnasc frequent arrests cause
is evil to cease. We further recommend the ec-
tment of s law allowtug the Foreman of Grand Ju
ries. when deemed necessary, to administer a similar
creay which members of
Grand Juries now take. In taking leave of Ilia Honor,
Judge Hopkins and of Solicitor General llowell, we
return them our thank# for the* kindness and courte
sy they have extended to thia body, assuring them
H high appreciation of the diligence, ability and
integrity which has characterised their official ac-
jgnixing as we do that tbey arc faithful
ud that a pure Judiciary is tho greatest
safeguard to our civil aud a.vial institutions.

—Monroe Adrertirer,
Tho Hou. John Van Lear McMahon,
who died at Cumberland, Md , on the
15th inst-., two days before hia brother-
in-law, Mr. Vallandigham, waa formerly
at tbe head of tho Maryland l>*r. In old
NVlug tinu-a It.- waa one of the moat olo-
queut ol ptmUi-ai orators, aud Prvauleut
Harrison ia said to have ottered him the
ehoiee of any oflieo in his gift save oue.
The llaltimore American ssya of him:
There waa a depth md power in his
voioe that bnt few speaker, have ever poe-
■eased. Addressing an .adienoe of ten
twnwnd people is the open air, every
r. ntonoc that fell from his lip. could be
c ; -tinctly heard. Possessing enthusiasm
a 1 humor, and wonderful versatility of
n nner and felicity of expression, hia
campaign speeches were the obleet and
moat effeotivo ever delivered. He oon-
trib: ted more than any other man In
build up the Jackson party in Maryland,
and when he left the party upon tho
United States Hank question, he dealt it
many telling blows. In the campaign of
1.140 ho took a most oonapicuous part—
Be preaided at tho great ratification
meeting held on the Canton race-course,
when Clay, and Webster, and Preston
n ado speeches. It was upon thiaooca-
sion that Mr. McMahon began hia speech
with the famous sentence. “Every valley
has Its rill, every mountain its stream,
and lol the avalanche of the people iu
herd”
He waa tho author of tho history of
Maryland, of which only one volume waa
published. From 1827 to 18G3 he prac
ticed law iu llaltimore, but, being .fillet
ed with partial loss of sight, returned to
Cumberland, his native place, in which
and Dayton he spent the remainder of
hi- days. Had ho lived he would have
r : lpleted his seventy-first year on the
In h of August next. He was nover mar-
r Tho Baltimore Sun relates tho fol-
h ling incident illustrating his popular-
•*i !
‘He was about twenty-flvo years ago
ca ed upon by a lady of Charles county,
in his Htate, to draw her will, which ho
di , st her request leaving a blank foe
tli name of the devisee. He waa groat-
ly astonished at the death of the lady,
not long after, to learn that his name lioil
been inserted in thu blank places in thu
will, und that, in admiration of his tal
ents, sho had bequeathed him liim her
property, valued atover #25,000.”
Ibis man was an intimate friend ami
great admirer of John C. Calhoun. Hia
relations with Kevordy Johnson were con
fide atial and friendly. Over tho conven
tion which nominated Gen. W. H. Har
rison for President he presided. It was
iu Baltimore, Maryland. The crowd iu
attendance was immense. In calling tho
convention to order he used tho memoru -
irds “Tho nation will come to
order.”
A European letter furnishes som i
facts which it very properly calls cu
rious, 03 they certainly are iutcrest-
Thcre is much evidence to show
that Bismarck coolly contemplated
and desired to bring about the exter-
m-nation of every Red Republican
ies der throughout Europe wbo could
lie induced to go to Paris. “Let them
alnre long enough,” said he, “and
Hit revolutionist in Europe will
Ice his rendezvous in Paris. Then
wl en the trap is perfectly full, we
wi 1 shut the door and bag the whole
of them.” The plan was u shrewd
one, and it was worked well. Tho
Germans kept the doors open at .St.
Denis to the very last moment Any
one who wish'd to enter Paris could
do so up to Sunday morning before
the Versailles troops made their entry;
tin it the door was shut to with a bang.
Xo one was allowed to come out. Tho
Germans moved up closer, and killed
very one who attempted to escape,
and now, doubtless through his iu-
flnence, Belgium, Switzerland, Spain
and Italy are ready to seize and to
sen 1 back to death any fugitive who
ma;. have escaped by balloon or oth
erwise. The trap was full of foreign
revo'utionists—that is certain. Tho
Figaro, to-day, publishes a list of the
names of the military and political
leaders of the Commune. Uf this
list forty-nine are foreigners. There
were of these twenty-one Poles, eight
Italians, seven Germans and two or
three each of Belgians, IVallachians,
Hungarians, Portugese, Spaniards,

The Famine in Persia.
Tho stories of tho Persian famine, re
sulting from long drouth and crop failure
last year, are terrible. The peoplo oro
literally dying of hunger in the streets of
Teheran. In Khomssan parents are sell
ing their children as slaves to the Turco
mans in order to keep them alive, and in
Ispahan, as is said, men havo been seized
in the act of digging up corpses to serve
as food for their starving families. In
Shi .iz-Kerman and Yezd the wretched
fan. .lies endeavor to support life on tho
gnus and roots which they may find in
the neighborhood, aud, os might be ex
pected, pestilence follows hard on tho
footsteps of famine; between them, tho
half of the kingdom of Persia is being
rapidly depopulated.
Tile World denies the truth of the
story that Mr. Greeley, in hia late ag

the farmers not to permit their but
