The Itcsiilt oriU'iuoi hq a Stcmii Gunge.
Ti:m-u.vii.m, June 30,
An explosion of a locomotive boiler on J.
Mel tonoufrhVrmm Road oocm t'd at about
‘2 o’clock this evening, about four miles
from liis mid, at tbo titty-seven mite post,
Brunswick and Albany ltftib-oad.uud throe
miles from this place. It was caused by too
great pressure ot ste m upon tho boi .er.
Mr. Joseph W. Bender, tho engineer,
and Jii.siiroman, a coloredbov by the mum
of Shingle toil \trl, were ins! ally k-'led.
Win. Douglass, who was tiding on tho
engine to the mid, was also Idled.
Mr. Bonder took the storm gauge off on i
Sntuixhiy, aud did not replace it. Witeu
taking the engiuo out this morning, the
safety valve stuck fast, which caused tin
explosion.
Tho engineer had made one (rip with;
. ihi- engine, and had loaded at Log Way
i and gone some four hund-vd yards on the .
■ - eoud hip, when the explosion oece-rod.
Tho engine was blow. to atom -. Tin
1 tram road was r' .o turn up the length of
! the engine.
I Mr. Bender's body was found about two
hundred and fifty yards from the engine.
'Tho lower pm.ion of the body was badly
■ mangled and tlio bowels lipped open.
[ The right arm and leg were almost severed
| from tho body.
Hhingleton Aid's body was found iu an
! opposite direction on the other side of tlie
track, about fifty yards off, badly scalded
; and injured.
I William Douglass’s body was found in a
, sitting position on the tram road, in rear
; of the train, fifty yards off, bieised mid
badly scalded.
A portion of Bender’s clothing now
hangs to the limbs of trcos some foity or
fifty feet high.
Tho coroner’s inquest this afternoon
exonerates Mr. J. McDonough of i-U
blame iu the matter.
A UFA AIIOVE TllE SKY,
[
This belief ia curiously illustrated by two
I legendary stories, presesved by Cicrvuao,
of Tilbury:
One Hiimhty, as the people of a village
in England wore coming out of church
one thick, cloudv day, the r saw the anchor
| of a ship hooked to one of the tombstones,'
the cable, wWch was tightlv sti-tclicd,
i haugiiig down from the air. ’flic people
were astonished, ami while they were con*
suiting about it, sndde’i*y they -uw the
rope move, as though someone labored to
p ill up the anchor,
The anchor, however still held fast to
the stone, and a great, noise was suddenly
hoard iu the uir likothe shouting of sailors.
Presently a sailor was noon sliding down
tho eable, for the purpose of nnlixing the
anchor, and when ho had just loosened it j
the viltagyra seized hold of jiinxand, while
iu ‘tlielf bauds, ho quickly died, just us
though he hud boon drowned. About an
hour after, the sudors above, hearing no
more of their comrade, cut the cable and
sailed uway. In memory of this extraor
dinary event, tho people of tho village
made tho hinges of the chnreli doors out of
the iron of tho nuobor, and they aro still
to lx; Been.
At nuother time a merchant of Bristol
set sail with a cargo for Ireland. Some ;
time after this, while the family were at
supper, a knife suddenly fall in the win
dow on the tat de. When the husband re-,
turned he raw tho knife, declared it to be
bin owq, and said that, on a certain day,
at such an hour, while sliding in an un
known pint of the sen, he dropped the
knifo overboard, and tho day and hour
were known to Ixi exactly the time when
it fell through the window.
These incidents, (iervaso thinks, are a
proof of there being a sea above, banging
over ns. A
jy oujtv'au yeditor.
Two or three years ago I was attached
to the Morning Argus, tbo only paper
publisod in our village, and, during my
engagement, wo employed a- an ns.- i- taut
editor a young man named Drinker. When
Drinker la-gun bis duties, the manager
said to him:
‘‘Moebeie, Drinker, among other things.
I want you, whenever you see, in exchanges
or any whi 1 es; a good biographical sketch
of any promhli lit uiun ( to clip it out aud
put it awnyl, so’# when lie dii, you under
stand, we can rush it out as an obituary
article, ns it wore”
Drinker wont to work, and about two
months aftei ward some well known man
died, and I examined the obituary bureau
for the puipoae of obtaining hi# bixtoiy.
it was not there, Imt l discovered that the
insidious thinker lmd stored away in that
mortnaiy receptacle o 0 biographici , l
aketeh of John Wesley, ac.illectioii of-aee
dotes about Cat‘i>- Putnam, and an essay
upon '"Iho Life end Services of John
Hancock#!,
I commchccd with Drinker upon the
subject.
“Mr. Drinker," J said, after calling bis
attention to tie article about the father
of Methodism, “you eeiii.iuly must he
aware that John SVeoley died long befou
you came into ibis office.”
“N-n no!” exelaimod Drinker, with a
look of pained surprise in his luce. '‘M b
wh-what! John Wesley dead! That great
and goi T man gone! Thunder! Why, it’s
too bad. J had no idea of such a thing.
VV'lmt n shock it must have bgeu to 1 ; s
family!”
“And as for (len. Putnam, Drinker, it
perfectly #l'*uivd for you to pretend that
you thought he was alive, you know.
Come, now, that a too much!"
“is he
fact is, 1 ve living down in the country
for two or Him* years, and haven't kept
run of things. Ar.d so old Putnam's dead.
That old man. .Strange, strange, how we
are passing aw ay.”
“And, Drinker, yotl eerie inly cant he
..noli an idiot as to nave put away this arti
cle about Hancock with the expectation
that he would di o again. Yxi know he
did diu once. Why,- Drumer, ho died
aboutjten thousand, yoai-sogo.”,
“Come, now !” exelnluied Dnlulaf exult-.
iligly, “I’ve got you there. An! ah! Died]
10,000 your.> ago, did lie, stnarty? You
know too much. You think everybody’.! a
fool but yourself! Dead, ia he? Now,
what’s the use of your try ing to stuff that
down me, when I know well enough that,
Hu. Democrats talk, and Jxntl ruiiidng Kan
rock fur the t ", '.ldeiuy at the last election!
Oh, pshaw ’ You ain't fit to write for tiny
papci Unit's got any sense.”
Then Diinkor was diaeharged. I didn't
enlighten him. Ifo will probably go do a a
to the grave with the firm eonvietnui that
(leu. Kaiioock is tho man who set eopy
for the mim-rablo penmen who signed tlie
DeclaraUunof Independence.-Jfiar A<lSer.
A WAEyjyO TO BOYS.
A certain doctor, struck with the targe |
number of boys under fifteen years of age |
whom he observed smoking, was led
to inquire ini > tin- (-fleet the habit leal
upon the general health. Ho took for his
purpose thirty-eight boys, aged from nine 1
to liftcen, and oarofuTy ivuitied them.
In twenty-seven of thorn he di.-,covered in
jurious traces of tho habit. In twenty
two there were diaorders of the circulation
and digestion, palpitation of the heart,
mid a more or less marked taste; for
drink. Iu twelve there was frequent j
bleeding a', the nose; they laid disturbed j
sleep; aud twelve had slight ulceration oij
tho mucous membrane of tho mouth,
which disappeared on ceasing from the ;
use of tobacco lor some days. The doc
tor treated them all for weakness, but
with little effect until the smoking was j
discontinued, when health and strcngUt'
were noon restored. Now, this is no “old j
woman's tale,” as tin-tie aro given on mi-'
thcrity of the "British Medical Journal."
T'li re is a chance now for portionlessydntig 1
orphans to effect marriages and give to the
lucky husbands, in addition to themselves, j
tho sum of 81,000 a dowry. A society 1
lias been formed for this purpose, in im- j
itatiou of the many in existence iu Europe.
Iu the old country, however, the benetita t
of such a society are not limited to poor
Jewish girls in general, and probably, if,
the new society attain any success here,
its scv]>o will bo similarly enlarged. Its
present object is certainly praisworthy.
It offers inducements to good girls to
enter the married state, without any fear
that their poverty will derange them iu the
sight of their husbands. Wo have exten
sive organizations in which 81.000 ore
paid to the widow aud next of kin on the

Jewish Messemaer.
A boy can soil tho reputation of any in
dividual, however pure aud chaste* by
uttering a suspicion that his enemies will j
believe and his friends never hear of. A
puff of the idle wind can take a million of
tho seeds of a thistle, and do a work of
mischief which the husbandman must la- j
bor long to undo. Such arc the seeds of
a slauder, so easily sown, so di (Boult to
gather up, ftid yet so pernicious in their
Umri.
! THE BUSINESS MENS VICTORY.
| A grand Democratic victory took placo
in Oregon tho other day. It was a clean
sweep. Democracy tame out handsomely
ahead. On that occaolon, it is said, every
business u-m in the State, closed np his
tw< !umne,jrtflre, factory, oflioe, etc., and
I went heart imd noul into the pntrotio work,
I and the result was the grand victorious re
t form move that Democracy put on tlie re
cord. VVe think it would lie well in the
great rloetiop day of 1870, when tlie effort
w to be made to restore to this nation peace
: and prosperity onee-more, to have a total
- nspeusioii of all busim is whatever, and
id! voters of i ll parties make a full demon
stration of their political faith. We have
in> fear of the-rexult. Dive tbo Democrat
ic party a fair ticket, anil we can roll up
a white majority of one million.
In 1872 (front received 3.51*7,132 vote*,,
of which tHX>,INK) were given by nogroea.
Deducting this ffOOJXK) negro votes, left
General (f rant2,C‘J7,l32 white votes. Hor
ace Greeley ’b vote, all.white, footed up 2,
834,125 being a majority of white votes
over Grant of 136,993.
Now, over oue ir ilium of Democrats re
fused to vote for Horace Greeley. Had they
agreed to thus politically debauch them
selvi-H, Greeley would have been band
sonu-ly elect*#!. Give the Democratic
party a candidate that will consolidate the
party, and ho will be elected by a popular
vote of at least une milUt.it, —X Y. Day
