INMAN, Station D, Bible House, New York City For the Calhoun Times. It was Only a Fashion, After All. Mr. Editor : As another rainy day lias overtaken ; us, and I feel a little inclined to talk, 1 know of no one with whom I had rather talk than yourself. I don’t know why this is, unless it is because you allow me to have it all to myself. Old people gen erally had rather talk than listen—but the fashion is what I propose to talk, or chat with you a while, about. It was in August of last year when tliis wonderful amendment of the fash ions made its appearance in the moun tains. There was a three or four days’ meeting going on in our hollow. This was sabbath morning. Wo all assembled early around the old church house ; in the house, in the yard, at the spring, at the blocks—in fact we were scattered around promiscuously for two hundred yards. Talking about the weather, of the crops, of the ladies, of the last deer that was killed, etc. etc. The sermon builder had not arrived, when suddenly I noticed that there was some unusual excitement up, and every one else seemed to notice it at the same time. There was some running, jump ing and a great deal of galking done, before the center of attraction could be ascertained. At length the fastest of the crowd began to concentrate near the blocks, and then came the next best By this time the old folks had crowded around to see what the young folks were after. All were stretching, striving: to see. At last I caught a full share of the sight. There, in the center of the wonder struck lookers on, stood a fe male, apparently of about seventeen summers, with a face beautiful enough for Cleopatra herself —but look, she turns her face from us—-Heavens, what a sight met my eyes ! Why had a just and allwise Providence thus deformed and dssfigured one who was so perfect in every other respect ? Hard, hard in deed, thought I, was the fate that thus doomed her to live. I first thought of a cow's head minus the horns, and then of the post office, of the seven wonders of me soTV'u seals Rut leiAo oi iheae would fill the bill; r.or did they in any way resemble the dreadful malady, if indeed it Vas a malady. She resembled one in a stooping posture, and yet I learned she did not stoop. She resem bled one who Lad swallowed a camel and was straining at a nat; and of this charge I shall not attempt to clear her. I withdrew my gaze from her and placed them on the mountain, when-to my as tonishment they seemed to have caught the disease. Some of the old folks seemed to have it badly. I then looked about me and some of our oldest citi zens seemed to be frightfully effected with it. The only difference was they seemed to have caught it nearer their heads. Then came a feehdg of horror over me for fear it would be my time next; my first thought in this dilema, was ‘ legs preserve the body.” Next I thought I would risk another look, and as I turned to do so, I saw old Mother Shelby advancing on the figure, in ques tion. She was first to break a painful silence, with “What on earth ails you child ? What? What is the matter with you behind ? “Nothing at all,” replied the little one “it is only my Grecian bend, and you must know they are all the fashion. 11',w.” Poor thing, she w, naif frightened out of her wits. They are quite com mon in our hollow now. hut I never see them without thinking of the unequaled hubbub it once produced among us of the mountains. An Old One. Alas ! for him who gr eys old without growing wise, and to whom the future world does not set open her gates when he is excluded by the present. ' The Lord de sis so graciously w ith us in the decline of life that it is a shame to turn a deaf ear to the let-sons w hich lie gives. The eye becomes dim. the ear dull, the tongue falters, the feet totter, all the senses refuse to do their office, and from every side resounds the call, ••set thine house in order’ for the term of thine pilgrimage is at hand.” The playmates of youth, the fellow laborers of manhood, die away and take the road before us. Old age is like some quiet chamber, in which. di>e >n nected from the world we can prepare in silence for the world that is unseen. - —*> A gentleman visiting a school had a book put in his hand for the purpose of examining a class. The word “inheri tance” occurring in the verse the querist interrogated one of the youngsters as follows: “What is an inheritance?” ‘patrimony.’ ‘What is pntrimody V ‘Something left by a father.’ What would you call it if left by a mother V ‘Matrimony.’ “You look as though you were beside yourself,” as a wag said to a fellow who was standing close to a donkey. Prevcntation of Rust in Cot ton. Dr. E. M. Pendleton, of Sparta, Ga., j writing for the Banner of the South on | the above subject, speaks as follows: Our plan is to make humus, prevent rust, and still gather a remunerative crop every year from the same land, is us follows: Take a field for instance that has been well worn by repeated crops of cotton and cereals, but still with some productive capacity Wc plant in cot ton, applying a good nitro-phospliate, at the rate of two hundred to three hun dred pounds per acre. It makes a very good crop but shows unmistakable evi dences of rust. We gather the cotton, and put down in oats, any time from November to February, broadcasting with cotton seed as many as we have to spare, and plowing in oats and cotton seed together with a turning shovel. — The heat produced by the fermentation of the cotton seed keeps the ground warm and protects the oats, while in the sprout, from being killed by the freezes. A good crop of oats is assured and the nitrogen of the cotton seed, not exhausted, is spent upon a fine coating of grass and weeds which, together with the oats stubble forms a first rate supply of organic matter for cotton the next year. The land lies in stubble fifteen months without being disturbed by the plow, equal to one year’s rest, and then comes the nitro-phosphate with cotton again. A better yield is the result, with less, if any at all, and the cotton seed and oats again, (or wheat) may be re repeated, and followed by the cotton without fear of rust, because the land is kept supplied with humus by a rotation of crops, I would not recommend this rotation for every field in the farm, but only those which would seem to require just such treatment. Poorer fields might be allowed to rest until brought in better heart, while those recently cleared should be pushed in cotton and corn for four or five years until the humus had been par tially exhausted, and a rotation becomes necessary. If there are no new grounds, a judicious system of rotation might be instituted between corn,' small grain and cotton, which would keep the lands from rusting, by insuring a supply oflra mus. When lands are plentiful, one year’s rest might be allowed with good results. Such a system established and carried out would soon drive the rust from our farms and cause our denuded hills and barren fields “to blossom like the. rose.” Human Holocaust. Horrible Catastrophe / on the Hudson River Railroad. [Extract from the New York Herald. An appalling catastrophe, which has added the most sickening and bloody page to the record of American railway horr rn, occurred on Monday night last, the Hudson River Railroad, sixty-five miles from this city. Unlike most of the fearful accidents in which human life has been rated cheaply, this was not caused by the mismanagement of the company, and its employees are blame lesss. Originating in the accidental displacement from the rails.of one of a long train of freight cars, it ended in the violent death of probably more than fifty persons, against which all the ele ments of nature seemed to combine.— Fire boned their eyes and burned them in their sockets that they might not see their way to safety. Water engulfed and strangled them, whom by a fearful blow had been dashed to the floor of the car it had invaded. Fragments of splin tered wood wounded them. Torn, lac erated, burned, blinded, crushed and drowned men, women ond children were hurried in agony “out of the world.” — There was no time to weep, no time to pray, and curses, if there were any, were burned on the breath that uttered them. The Carr's Rock tragedy, with its sev enteen palid and wounded victims, and six crisp corpses, was tracable to human neglact, and fades before the terrible ap parition of this incarnation of human ’ suitering. THE COLLISION. The car struck by the locomotive of the evpress train was surmounted by two huge woodeu vats, containing nou reetified exp! Five petroleum. One tank was shattered, and the oil. rushing forth over the engine, was ignited bv the glowing coals in the ash pan. Es eaping gas in the second tank caught the flame, and the terriffie explosion en sued. The air for thousands of fe- t was filled with the lurid flame of the burning gas. It ascended to the height of hundreds of feet. It enveloped an area of a hundred more, and those who breathed in this fatal circle had to im bibe liquid fire. Then, before any had an opportunity to compute the time, crushed by the weight of cars, disjoint ed by the shocks, the wood m drav - bridge crumbled beneath the weight up on it. and sank with its load thruugl the ice and into the water. Then capi all the terrors of Haute’s many hells t the sleeping passengers and to the wak iug ones. Ihe tide at its full and tlit water was not more than four feet dee} in the cars. It burst the doors. le.w< v- er, of the baggage ears and came through the windows of the palace sleepidg car. with its thirty-three occupants. Min gled with it were peices of broken ice. sharp, cold and cutting. It rush.d along the passage and deluged the berths, freezing where it touched But in the space above was nothin but lurid flame—the atmosphere was burning gas. One half the persona! envelopment in liquid ice and th 1 oth er half in liquid lire 1 Such was theea tast rophe. A SAD DAY AFTER A FEARFUL NIGHT. The locomotive stops in front of th, New Hampshire depot, where a gr< ;q of a dozen persons are gathered A quarter of a mile below gleamed many lights, .and there occasionally flickers up subdued flashes of flame. Walking down the frozen and icy track, the de bris of broken and smoky cars is obsorV- ; ed, while the track of the runaway on 1 is plainly visible along the ground* and ‘ on the timber or ties close by are live i coffins painted black. The smell] of burning o l impregnates tlie air. ami j clambering round a pile of ropes, twist ed iron and splintered wood, the repor ter looks upon the CRASH OF DEATH. A field of ice stretching away to the right for miles, calm and unruffled, and the mountains rising dimly gray b •■■vend ; another and lessor patch of ice to the left, and at your feet an abyss 21K) feet across, filled with A CONFUSED HEAP. of black and charred fragments, with broken beams, and with posts standing still upright and firm, but grim, burned and recking with a fessed order and the fumes of oil. This mass is looming for four or five feet above the water, which is brown and filled with fragments of dis colored ice, and now and anon you sec fragments of a dress or cloak or a coat. And down beneath all this, under two fathoms of water, lies a sleeping car con tabling thirty-three charred and mangled bodies, which last night were, brim full ot life and hope. They were thinking then of happiness, of joy and love, of busy dreams—of firesrdes where there were anxious fathers, mothers, husbands, wives, or children waiting to welcome them, and where they never will be seen again. Some,perhaps, were thinking of a life which had been a strugle and a failure ever, and in which they hardly expected anything less malevolent than the fate they expected. On the debris, sturdy, earnest and begrimmed men, em ployees of the railroad company and vil lagers, are searching with ropes and hooks for the bodies of the dead’. At last when the light becomes stronger, their number is increased, a body is found. It is evidently that of a Jew, once a handsome man, but now how hor rible to look upon 1 Now that they have found the proper locality, they draw forth another, they raise to th - sur face and bear out upon the ice the body of a woman and her two little children, clasped in her arms. The Author of “The Raven.” ‘‘My friend would be be who would take a pistol and blow out my brains, and thus relieve me of my misery ” So said Edgar Allan Poe. His lips curled bitterly. These were his dying words. Such was the unhappy state of one whom dissipation had robbed of the pure enjoyments of life, and brought to hope less ruin. He had been reared in the most elegant society, and educated in the most polished schools. He possess ed poetic gifts of unwonted beauty and brilliancy. The productions of his muse were few and fragmentary, melan choly prophesies of what hc.might have been; but they made him a marked lean among the lovers of poetry through the world, lie lacked symmetry of charac ter. and with all the advantages he pos sessed over others, he was wayward as a youth paseionated in maturer years, and always unmaned at the sparkle of the intoxicating cup. lie blazed awhile in the literary firmament, the “c imet <>f a season,” but he left behind him an un worthy influence, a reproachful memory and the admonition of a fearful end. He was making a journey when hi death occurred, and lie was occupied with the preparations for his wedding day. Better impulses warmed hi- heart and mollified his passions at the th -light of his nuptials, and as the sunlight of the future gladdened again the vi.-ion of his mind, golden days tilled his fancy, of the tenderness of conjugal love, and the sweet habitudes of domestic bliss. He stopped in the city of Baltimore He met old companions, jolly fellows, with whom he had passed convivial hours. The intoxicating cup glittered before him; the temptation was too great; he would spend one more revel before he entered that purer sphere depicted in his dreams. That cheerless Novembrr night he was found lying in the street, stupefied with drink, covered with dirt, and his lace distorted with horror. His jovial companions had deserted him. lie was taken to a hospital. A fearful dream rose upon him. and sited his brain. — Delirium, with her thousoud demons, darkened his intellect ouce beautiful with fairy thoughts and poetic fancies. Mania a pofu ensued. A clergyman was sent for. ‘“Shall I send for your friends F’said the j>ious man. ‘•Friends! said the dying man as though the word was a mockery; "tuy best friend would be he who would take a pistol ar.d blow out my brains, and thus relieve me of iny misery.’, We hear men cavil at religion. M hat a treasure, beyond all estimate, early piety would have been to Edgar Allan Foe. ■2S r nil i her* *2O. iwo EinrrVders \r»>rr '• n«r <>r> a w building wore dry aud *.»„ but the t.til er a pint of whisky fi; .t he euuid i. : carry him to th<> r of in h* h- and.
