2 Mil Stephens’ last explanation
does not explain, but the reader cannot
resist the conclusion that the old gen
tleman feels self-convicted.
Whv is it that Mr. Stephens has
never thought to explain his inconsist
ency and proclaim hiB devotion to the
organized Democracy before?
Philadelphia has a now branch of
industry. It is the grinding of cocoa-
nut shells into powder and mixing the
same with popper. The next thing
will be to find a way to adulterate the
powder.
The Grant family is again in luck.
Thia time it is Ulysses S., Jr., nephew
of his uncle, and his plnoi is promotion
to a sixteen dollar clerkship in the
Sub-Treasury at New York. This is
altogether modest for a Grant.
A recent visitor to Mark Twain de
scribes once more his sluggish speech,
every word being deliberately utter
ed, “not as though it were weighed
before delivery, but rather as though
it had come a great distance and was
tired.”
The New York World is of the
opinion that the experience of the
country with Flipper, Smith and
Whittaker shows that to appoint a ne
gro to a West Point cadetship is a
cruelty \to him and an Injury to the
service.
An enterprising Yankee has sketch
ed the gallows scene at-Gniteau’s exe
cution, in advance, and proposes to
furnish electrotypes of the same to
newspapers who wi9h to embellish
' heir columns with it the morning after
the assassin swings. -
The Atlanta Constitution, still la
boring to get Mr. Stephens organized,
beads its It ader yesterday, “Mr. Ste
phens’ Democracy.” If he fails to get
the nomination for Governor in July—
and we think he will—it will be found,
in oar humble opinion, that be has no
Democracy to spe-ak of.
JoeBbown and Colquitt: Well, Mr.
Stephens,-we havo come to inform yon
that we have decided to give the Gov
ernorship to yon. Bat you must be
organized; we are the bosses of the
organized Democracy of Georgia, and
the people would say that we had
gone back on them if we were to give
the office io any one who did not
claim to be an organized Democrat.
Mr. Stephens: All right, gentlemen,
i’ll be organized.
On Saturday last the town of Galla
tin, Tenn., was thrown into an intense
excitement becaose of a rumor tb&t
Frank James, the noted desperado,
had reached that point. A detective
gave a citizen a note which said:
“Frank James is in town; inform the
banks of the fact.’’ The banks were
informed, and in a short while- the
whole town was in a stir of excite
ment. The Sumner County Deposit
Bank closed its doors for fear of being
robbed.
Me. Stephens has had himself in
terviewed again by the Atlanta Con
stitution’s Washington scribe, “F. H.
If.,” and the burden of his argument is
a labored defense of his record and of
certain letters he has written to Inde
pendents and Itepnblicans, the Casey
letter,-etc. Mr. Stephens has conclud
ed, after dne reflection, that he has
done some things and written some let
ters that are calculated to bring the
organizedness of his Democracy into
ion, qnestat least.
The National Colored Press Associa

Ele.
Yesterday morning at a few min
utes before two o’clock a terrible
railway accident occurred at King
ston, oil the Westerh and Atlantic
Railroad, which resulted in the al
most instantaneous death of An
drew J. West, engineer on the south
bound fast mail train, and George
Bass, his fireman. The details of the
tragedy are thrilling in the extreme,
and are recited below :
No. 7 is a through lreigbt train
which passes Kingston at 11:25 p. m.
On the fateful night it left on the
side track at Kingston three freight
cars. Pulling out from the little vil
lage from some cause as yet unex
plained, the switch remained open
for the sideling as the freight train
resumed its journey northward. 1:45
a. m., about two hours after the train
passed up the road, wus the arrival
time of the southward bound fast
mail which is due in.Atlanta about
four o’clock. The train is one of the
fastest trains in Georgia, frequently
running at a speed of forty mills an
hour. It is sitid that as it approach
ed Kingston it must have been run
ning at a speed of from 35 to 40 miles
an hour. At any rate it does not
slop at Kingston, and it is hardly
probable that the speed was much
slackened, as it is not customary to
pay mnch attention to the small
places along the road where stop
pages are not made. The engineer
was Andrew J. West, a young man
of thirty-eight, with a keen bright
eye, a cool demeanor and a resolute
face. His fireman was George Bass,
a young man scarcely twenty-one
years of age. From the first switch
to the cars was about six hundred
feet. From the second switch the
distance was about half as great.
Both switches were open for the
sideling?, and an engine coming from
Chattanooga must inevitably collide
with the cars unless stopped in time
to prevent such an accident. The
two men, smofce-begiirnmed, stood
upon the eugiue “General’’ as it
thundered along through the night.
It was away after midnight, and the
passengers were dozing and snoring
in their berths or lay stretched in un-
gaiuly shapes upon the car seats.
The. first switch threw the engine a
little from its course, but as the track
lay directly alongside of the main
line the cnange could barely be no
ticed. A few turns of the ponder
ous drivers and the engine gave an
other jerk to one side and the head
light dashed upon the cars standing
upon tbe side-track, along which the
train was dashing with lighting-tike
velocity. Tbe brave engineer conld
take but a moment to think, a sec
ond almost, and his engine would
dash into the cars. Reversing his
engine, he applied the air brake.
That was all he criuld do. Stepping
from his perch in his cab, be started
to jump from tbe locomotive. As
he stood between the tender and the
engine tbe crash came. The locomo
tive went through the first car like it
was a bank of fog and shattered it
into ten thousand pieces. One of
the heavy side Bills passed along the
boiler over the tender and struck
into the baggage car. The second
car was driven into the thied car
two-thirds of its length- The engine
came to a halt with a tremor, and
the drivers began to do ihe work
laid out for them by brave Andrew
West.. They revolved backward,
and as they moved the train away
from the wreck the form of the en
gineer dropped from between the
engine and tender and fell a limp
mass beside the track. At the same
time the fireman lay almost dead
near the track. The jar broognt the
passengers to their feet in an investi
gation. Conductor Horatio Bradley
sprang upon the engine and caught
the throttle. It was wide open, show-
how perfect had been the efforts of
the engineer to reverse and stop the
engine. When West was taken up
he was insensible. His shoulder
was bruised, and upon the top and
back was a terrible blow, evidently
inflicted by a piece of heavy timber.
He was evidently in a dying condi
tion, and in a few minntes expired.
The fireman, Georgia Bass, was
unconscious. He presented a most
sickening spectacle. There was a
long gash over his forehead, anoth
er across his nose, and through that
gash he was breathing. Bis face,
neck and chin was one mass of lace
rated flesh. He was in a criticrl con
dition at last accounts and his death
is excepted. His father lives in At
lanta and went up to K’ngston yes
terday to he at the bedside of his
son. Tho statement was made in At
lanta yesterday the Bast was dead.
It was nat trne, however, bet the
news of his death is momentarily
looked for. The unfortunate engin
eer was carried into the depot at
Kingston and a messenger was sent
to Car'tersville for a coffin. Tho re
mains were placed in a coffin and at
one o’clock yesterday reached the
city. The were met at the train by
Hr. C. H. Swift, the undertaker, and
a delegation from the Kinghts of
Honors an organization of which Mr.
West is a member, with a large
number of railroad men. The re
mains were carried to the late home
of the dead man, on Foundry street.
To-day they will he bnried. At three
o’clock the remains will be taken
from the residence to the Third Bap
tist church and there the funeral ser
mon will be preached. After that
the remains will be put upon a spe
cial train provided by the Western
and Atlantic railroad and carried to
Oakland cemetery, where they will
be interred. The funeral will be
managed bp the Knights of Honor,
and will he attended by hundreds of
friends of the unfortunate man. Mr.
West was about thirty-eight years
of age, and leaves two'children, two
bright eyt'I boye. His wife died
some time since.
habits of hair
“In tin- iir>t place,” he said, “do
you know tv hat hair is, anyway?”
“Only |n a general way. perhaps.”
“Then let me tell you a word. It
i? an clongaied epidermic appen
dage. its essemiil structure ,on-
*Hts ot an assemblage of epidermic
cells, at tlic bottom of a flask shaped
follicle in the substance of the skin,
supplied witli a blood vessel dis
tributed to its walls.’’
“Can hair be made to grfnv on a
bald head?’’
“Not as a rule. Iu debilitated per
sons the hairs sometimes fill ont
spontaneously, or with slight assist
ance, and if the bulb alone comes
away, and the sheath and germs re
main behind, they are capable of re
producing the hair, under proper
treatment or favorable circum
stances. The short and pointed
hairs on the scalp of old people show
that new shafts are constantly form
ing. The nutrition of hair is effect
ed through vessels which are in con
tact withtheir tissue, without enter
ing into their structure, so that
causes affecting tile general health,
or affecting the health of the skin,
affect also the nutrition of tbe
hair.”
“What causes premature bald
ness
“In a great measure the olation
of hygienic rules, and the excess of
mental! and physical labor in a cli
mate foreign to Ihe race.”
“Is there a greater disposition to
gravness iu this country than in oth
ers?”
“Well, some well informed peo
ple think, that it is about the same
in all civilized countries; hut, if
there is any difference, it is because
of the hurried and unhealthfnl hab
its of life and mental exerciseamorg
Americans ?”
“What is the chemical action
which produces gray hair?’’
“Accurately speaking, that’s one of
those things that no fellow can find
oat. The color of the hair depends
partly on the presence of pigmeut
granules, aud partly on the exist
ence of minute air spaces, which
cause it to appear dark by transmit
ted light. In Albinos and gray-
haired persons this coloring matter
is simply absent.
“Is it the ease that hair may, from
extreme fright or other strong emo
tions turn white, as is said, in a sin
gle night?’’
“It is an nndonbted fact. Just
how the change takes place is a mat
ter for conjecture, but it may per
haps be explained by some chemi
cal action in the oily coloring mat
ter. This oily matter would he
withdrawn from the hair under con
ditions of cold, debility or insuffi
cient food.”
“Does gray hair then become
dead ?”
“Not by any means. The loss of.
vitality does not necessarily follow
the loss ofcolor, for gray hair often
grows vigorously. For that matter
hair will grow after the body’s
death. One of the causes of prema
ture baldness and grayness is tight
ly fitting and unyielding hats.”
“Are any of the thousand and one
preparations for restoring tbe hair of
any value ?”
“Tonics and stimulating applica
tions are sometimes beneficial.
When the hair is thin and falls out
easily, shaving tbe scalp will often
produce a thicker, firmer, and dark
er growth.”

we would like to know how the
nomination by the Democratic par

dorsed Emory Speer, and with whom
he now declares he has no i-sue will

COMING TOO FAST.
That in What tbe Run Inn Jews are
Doth, in New York,
Special to the Chicago Tribune.
New York, Jane 15.—The Rus
sian Jews are coming here too rap
idly and are proving a burden npon
the hands of the Aid Society, which
has undertaken to care for and pro
vide them with comfortable quar
ters. The immigration of this pecu
liar class appears to be conducted
on poetic rather than purely busi
ness principles. The refugees who
have hitherto had bat little idea of
the world, have somehow gained
the impression that America is a
land of millcand honey, where gold
is to be picked up in the streets, and
where everything is joyous and
dream-like. They are mostly mer
chants and peddlers, and it is found
to be very hard matter to make
farmerrs of them at once. They do
not want to go far away from the
aid society, and prefer to sit quietly
here and be helped rather than go
ont into the conntry and make their
way on their own account. The re
sult is the Hebrew Aid Society is
having more to do than it can attend
to. The refugees are coming in fas
ter than was expected or intended.
The objective point in the whole
emigration movement appears to be
the United States. Up to the pres
ent time about 5,000 have arrived
here, and more are on the way.

“There is no doabt that it is a
good thing for men and women to
live and love and marry, and lay the
foundation of good government in
happy homes; but the woman’s
horizon onght not to be bounded by
marriage. Her capacities for loving
and enjoying exist jnst the same,
whether she has a hundred or not;
and th^je are springs in life which
domestic routine, though willingly
accepted and joyfully performed,
may fall to satisfy. For those wo
men who do not marry,-life has still
a storehouse of treasures which need
only to be believed in and worked
for to be given np as fully and free
ly as to men.”

The greatest incentive to engage
iii silk culture is the knowledge that
there is a home market for $15,000,-
000 worth of floss, which American
manufacturers are obliged to im
port from foreign lands. The other
consideration is, that silk culture
furnishes women and children in the
rural districts, with a congenial oc
cupation that does not require con
stant attention, and so wilt not inter
fere with household duties.
In view '■ of these facts the
Women’s Silk Culture Association
of Philadelphia organized two years
ago, for the purpose of calling the
attention of the women of the coun
try to the opportunity given them to
establish a new industry, both suit?
able and profitable; and also to give
the necessary institutions to all de
siring to engage in silk culture.
The success of thi3 pioneer asso
ciation is remarkable; there has been
aroused a wide spread interest in
the cultivation of cocoons, that must
go ou increasing until tha aim of the
association is fulfilled.
This fact Was most forcibly pre
sented at the last exhibtiun of the
association, at which the display of
cocoons was very fiue und interest
ing. The chief feature of the exhibi
tion was the display of specimen
cocoons by the twemy-six contest
ants for the Straw-bridge & Clothier
premiums. The first one of which
by tbe way, was carried off by Mr-
Rebecca Taylor, (mother of the late
Bayard Taylor), who is over 82 years
of age, and a sufferer from paraly
sis.
The association announces that
through the liberality of Messrs.
Strawbridge & Clothier the well
known dry goods merchants of Phil
adelphia, it is again enabled to offer
ip to the silk culturi9ts the sum of
five hundred dollars in ten pre-
ntuims as follows;first premium $100;
second premium, $75; third premi
um, $65; fourth premium, $60;
fifth premium, $50; sixth premium,
$45; seventh premiums, $40; eight
premium, $30; ninth premium, $25:
tenth preminm, $10. For these pre
miums any resident of the United
States may contest. From the. ten
largest amounts of cocoons, one
pound will be laken, without selec
tion, and the test of reeling applied;
the quantity and quality will be the
conditions Jfor .preminm. Applica
tion for competition mast be endors
ed and the amount of this year’s
cocoons raised by;the culturist,] tes
tified to by some responsible per
son. Stock mast be sent not later
than December 1, 1882.
Anyone with sufficient land to
grow a few mulberry trees can add
the rearing of silk worms to the
daily care and find it a source of
pleasure and profit, Tbe work oc
cupies but .small portion of tbe
year, and a child can attend to the
daily gathering of leaves and feed
ing the worms. If a supply of mul
berry leaves cannot be had, an osage
orange hedge will answer every
purpose. The osage orange * leaf is
admirable food for the' silk worms,
from which they spin splendid silk.
A very interesting event of na
tional interest, connected with this
subject of silk culture, has just oc
curred in. Philadelphia. Tho Wo
men’s Silk Cnlture Association se
lected silk from twenty-six families
living in fourteen states; had it
spun on a “Yankee” reel, made into
a web of twenty-eight thonsand
threads of silk, and woven as a bro- _ ., .
cade on a Jacquard loom, requiring »“ch*nextentu u>fcardeath wooidbe
three thousand six hundred needles
to form the original and striking de
sign. This is the first brocade ever
woven in America of American silk;
and probably the heaviest in texture
of any brocade ever woven. It is
known «s the Garfield dress, as it is
the intention of the association to
present this magnificent fabric to
Mrs. James A Garfield.
