Terrible Accident on Ihe Hudson silver Hnilro&d, Kaw Yobk, Jan. U. The two rear nars of tbo Atlantic express, from the west, on) tho New S ork Central and Hudson river railroad, were crushed and jammed together by the Tanytown local triJn, near Spuyten Dnyvil creek, last night. The wrecked can were set on fire, and nine persons are known to hav perished in the uamea. It is believed that at' least three others must have been horned. Slate Senator Webster Wagner is supposed to liave been crusbed between two of his own drawing-room earn, and to have perished with the other victims. The Atlantic express left Alt any at S(2 ) p. uu nearly three-quarters of an hour lu bind t inn. Tiie bain was a heavy one, comprising '.hirtccn cars. Meat to tho locomotivo wera two mail cars and a bargago car. Behind them wore three on.iiinry passenger cars. Five Wagner dr.,wii:R-raom can complolod the train. Tb-jy iw re the lt d J acket, Sharon, Vanderbilt, Miiiueliaha and Empire. The Empire was the rei rcar. At Greonbnsb, on Ihe opposite side oi the rivrr from Albany, the Wagner drawingrorni oar Idle ild. from Troy, was coupled to tbe engine and became the last car of tbe train. Tbo tram was in charge ot Conductor George H nlord, an old employe on tl..e road. Tho coudu. lor oi tho drawiiig-rbom cam was Mr. Taylor. To stops wero made one nt Hudson and the otlier at PouKhkecpsio. From this last point tiie train began io make up .some of tbe lost timo. A speed of at leant fcrly miles an hour maintained until the Spuyten Dnyvil Creel; Station wag reached. Here Iho engineer slowed down, aud tho train suddenly c.i in i io a stop about midway between that station and the Kingslindgo Station. Somotliue, it wns said by the train attendants, was tbe matter with the nir I rake. For some reason it tailed to wmk. II was then a row mm-nh-s past 7 o'clock. The ctttay must have
oiwtinmd lictwrou five and ten minutes. Slid-
di-nly one shnil blast from a locomotive was hunrd, when tho sound of grinding wheels from tho rear grated hardily on the ear. The
next instant there was a t-liook which shivered
the IdlewUd to splinter', drove its heavy frame
like a telescope into the umpire, r.kd completely wrecked that car in an instant. Two nimuies litter the Idlevnld was on fire irom the stove in tbo forward

As tbe last newspaper man climbed through tbo
window he hoaiu tue screams or two women aud toe shouts of a man proceeding from the extreme rear of the Empire. Whether they were among that enrs passengers, or whether they were in tbe forward end
of tne Idlewild, which was launched lar into
tbo Empire, is not known. With tha exception
of Assemblyman Monk, the occupants of tue Empire before men.iuned all escaped with abebt cuts or bruises.
The noise of tbo collision was heard half a mile away, and tbe glare of the burning cars illu ninafced the country far around. A
croJf.i of tho residents of King Bridge
ami spuyten xrayvir coon gathered, Aua

Finiilly some of the neighbors, whose dwell tags frouled on the railroad track, furnished a few wooden nails. Valuable timo had been
lost, ana the names were now bsyona control.
I he villagers continued to throw water through
tbe windows noaiest those spots where a human voino could be heard, mini the heat drove tbem
lar beyond a point wbi re the primitive fire-ap-
jiar itus mld be utilized. A new dancer was mianwbilo threateninir the
thom-and persons in ibe vicinity. The locomot.ve of the Tarry town express was imbedded in tuo wreck, ot the Idlewild, its headlight a dozen feet wiibin the car. a l.cavv head
of fttcam was on, a red-hot fire
was blazing in tbe fire-box, and there were grave doibts expressed by the engineer
anu urerain anoui, me noiter resisiing me tiiim:notts prei'snre brought to bear upon it. Water to quencli the fire was called for. Then great shovejlula of snow were piled into the furnace, Tho wator-carriera ceased for a brief space to empty their pain upon the burning cars, and dashed their couteuts into the furnace. The dying pcr.ious in the nuns had to be abandons I to rrapplo with this danger, wbidh promised death to so many of tbo living. Ihe inrnneo flics were finally qmnched, and atteuUou was onuo more' turned to the two burning cars, whose more solid timbers bad by this time been eaten away by the fierce flames. Ton niiuutes bad ehipred since the acoidi nt. The lust sound Jroai the mtoiubed pumengers bad diixl awi.y.

Hundreds of bands began to roll np big bulls. They wera passed over tho fence lo thwo who, braving tbe beat, ran alongside the fiery piles un i tosiwd them through tho windows to be licked up by the flames. Laddtra were procured and tfforti made to jm oh bob's tfar-ingh tho car panels. N'ovor did men work wuh more desperate entrgy than did tl-ese Hpuyh-n Dujvil and Ktugsbridgo villagers.

A good way to cleanse the teeth is to dip the brush in water, rub it over genuine white Castile soap, then dip in prepared chalk, A lady wiys : "I have been complimented upon the whiteness of my teeth, which wero originally ntiytliing but white. I have used the soap constantly or two or three years, and the chalk for the last year. There is no danger of scratching the teeth, as the chalk is prepared, but with n good still' brush aud the soap it is as effectual as soap aud tand on a floor." Hints to Thosb Yisrrrua the SrcK. -Enter and leave the room quietly. Carry a cheerful face and speak cheerful words. If the sickness is serious, do not full into gav aud joreless tdk in the attempt to be cIieorfuL Don't ask questions, and thus oli'ige the invalid to talk. Talk al h iu t something outside, and not about the disease of the patient. Toll the news, but not tho list of tho sick aud dying. If possible, carry something to please the) eye and relieve the monotony of the siok-room a (lower, or even a picture, which you can loan for a few days. Highly porftimed flowers, however, slto'dd never be earned into tho (nek-room. Some little simple delicacy to tempt the appetite may be well bestowed. Stay only a few minutes at the longest, unless you can be of some help. TbEATMEST OP SliEEP-WaliKIKO. Never wake a sleep-waker if iteau possibly be avoided. In a certain I'ainily residing in Chicago the children while youug were all more or less addicted to sleep-walking. One of the younger branches, a girl of 15, on on occasion rose from her bed, and, walking downstairs, entered the drawing-room, where were assembled a few guests. Fortunately, the girl's habit was known to most of the company, who, instead of evincing a horror of the unwonted visitor, treated the matter in a philosophic light, and even maintained their usual conversation as the girl's hither took her hand and led her quietly up-stairs
to bed. Had the somnambulist been rudely awakened, the consequence might have been serious ; and the calm demeanor of the spectators and judicious management of the girl's pare at on this occtifciou may, perhaps, act as a niut to others who may be similarly rituated. SikpiiK Remedies fob Eshuiqencies. Very few youug mothers are able to control their nerved so completely as to keep from being startled when confronted with a cut finger with dripping blood, and the loud cries which announce a catnstropne. Sometimes she cannot collect her thoughts sufficiently to recall any of the good remedies with which she is acquainted. One way to avoid this is to write out a list of help in trouble, and tack it upon the door of your room, alter the manner of hotel regulations. There is nothing better for a cut than powdered resin. Get a few ceuts worth of powdered resin, pouud it until it is fine, and put it in an empty, clean pepper or spice box with perfotated top; then you can easily sift it out on the cut; put a soft cloth arounl the injured member aiicl wet it with eold water once in a while. It will prevent inflammation and soreness, lu doing np a
burn, the mam point is to keep tho air from it. If sweet oil and cotton are not at hand, take a cloth and spread dry ilour over it, and wrap the burned part in it. It is always well to have some simple remedies in tbe house where you can get them without a moineat's loss of time ; a little bottle of peppermint, m case of colic ; chlorate of potash for sore
throat, pepsin for indigestion, and a bot
tle cf brandy. Have them arranged so that you could go to them in the dark
ami reach the right remedy, but be sure you never do it, even if you know they have not been disturbed ; always light a lamp or the gas, and make sure you have what you are alter, ltememlier tliat pistols are always loaded, and that poison may be put in place of pepper
mint. How to Write.
The noted novolist, Miss Muloek, has a few pleasant words to say 'joncorning
her method of novel-writing which may
be useful to young writers: All 6tories
Hint ato meant to live must contain the
germ of life, the eee. the vitai principle.
Therefore, the first thing is to fix on a central idea, like tho spine of a human
being, or the trunk of a tree, rroax it, this one principal idea, proceed all aftergrowths; tho kind of plot which shall best devolop it, the characters which must act it out, the incidents that will express these characters, even to the conversations which evolve and describe these incidents all ar seqnenoes
following one another tn natural or.ler.
Every part should be made subservient to the whole. You must have a foremround and a baokuround and a middle
distance. If you persist in working np oue character, or finishing minutely oue
incident or series of incidents, your per
spective will be destroyed, and youi novel become a mere collection of fragments, not a work of artatnlL The
true artist will be ready to sacrifice any
net detail to the perfection ol tho wiiob?,
A novel does not grow naturally, but represents a grout deal of hard work. When I was young, an older and more experienced writer once said to me:
".Never use two adjectives wnere one will do; never uso an adjective at all where a noun will do. Avoid italics, notes of exclamation, foreign worla and quotations. Put full stops instead of colons; make yoursentenc.es aa short and clear as you possibly can, nnl whenever vnn think von have written a portion lar-
iy fine sentence, cut it out." Wo novelists cannot help but smile when asked if such and such a character is "taken from life," and especially when ingenious critics persist in identifying usually falsely certain persons, places of incidents. For me, I have only to say that during all the years I have studied humanity I never met ono human being who could have been "put into a book," as a whole, without injuring it. The only safe field for a writer is liciion.

Kew Boat's Mas. To reduce the weight of masts of

Tire white shark sometimes attains the enormous weight of 10,000 pounds. Snaim have been put in toiling water and have survived the terrible ordeal. Un. Franklin objected to the adoption of tho eagle as our nptic ual bird, Ivoiiviao of its predatory habits, and suggested the turkey instead.

Between tho dogfish and the gulls there seems to be a mutual alliance against the herrings; the dogs drive them to the surface, when they are pounced upon by the gulls and driven buck to their relentless enemies, the "dogs." Tub legal meanitig of the word " eith-T " was gravely argued in an English Court of Chancery a. few years ago. A certain testator left property, tho disposition of wbich was affected by the "death of either" of two persona. One lawyer insistad that "either" meant both ; and in support of this view he quoted liichtirdsou, Webster, Chaucer, liryden, Southey, the story of crucifixion and a passage from Bevelatioui. The Judge suggested tliat there was aa old song in " The Beggar's Opera" which took the other view, " How happy would I be with either, were 'tot her dear charmer away I" In prononncing judgment the eourt ruled that "either" meaut oue of two, and did not mean "both;" it might have that lneankg occasionally iu poetry, but never iu a Court oi Chancery. To Ttxu Japanese we are indebted for the discovery tliat paper can bo made into hundreds of articles for human use. At ihe Atlanta exposition were to be seen a most extraordinary variety of articles which lud been made from ooiamon paper pulp. These included car wheels, kitchen furniture, wash basins, tnbs, trucks and even houses. A'car wheel made of paper will run 2,400,000 miles without breaking and is stronger than stiel or iron, and then it isve;:y much cheaper. Paper is of surprising strength. A twisted note of the Bank of England will not tear even though 329 pouuds weight is suspended from the end of it, . Paper can be compressed ho that it will teat a chisel into pieces, if the latter is held against it. One of tiie great values of piper is that it can be made to take the ; mice of wood. Furniture made of it k oks like black walnut, aud is really stronger as well as cheaper; iudeed there is no w less danger from the wasting of our forest trees than there waa before the tarions'nses of paper
were discovered. Stoves are made ot paper and are so incombustible that it is impossible to burn them. It is possible even to make a steam engine of paper ; in short, it has been found that the linen filler from which the best paper is mode will in the future be as valuable to mankind as wood or iron. A Deserted City. Situated on a beautiful bay which sets in from the Gulf of Mexico, and indents the western coast of Florida writes a Florida correspondent, thero flourished about 1817 the prosperous city of St. Joseph. It had many attractions. The location was charmiuir and the cb-
mate delightful. At that time it was fast becoming a business centre. . Tho .first railroad in the State was built from
St. Joseph to a point on the Chattsaliooclio river, tho fine harbor for ship
ping til ing the inducement, and largo
quantities of cotton were sent from northern Florida and Alabama to be
shinned to northern and European ports.
Beceiving and trsnsferring these largo amounts of cotton was the chief industry of the place, and made business very active during the winter months. Cap
ital was invested iu warehouses, stores, docks, eta. Jnsi, as orosneritv and hap
piness seemed assured, the vellow fever i ? el 1
maue its appearance, sweeping tue puieo like a sccurtte. This was the summei of
1841. Whole families died in the milt
of their lonely surroundings. Many fled
terriheu and never returned, sceRing
their fortunes anew elsewhere. Jural-
ncss firms and families were broken up or wholly destroyed and the city was left
a scene of wreck and rum. a ive years later it presented a melancholy spectacle and strikingly picturesque. The skeleton warehouses, eostly and capacious houses, now doorlcca and windowless, rose like spectres on every side, many of the houses being almost buried in j a tangled mass of vinos, flowers feud shrubs, cultivated and wild. Now nnd then parties of hunters from a distance would take possession of some one of these ruinsas headquarters, while seeking deer and other game with which the woods not far off abounded. But after a
while even these occasional visitors ceased, s the place became more ind mora isolated. The last residents were an old man and his daughter, who lived
entirely alone, tuhaititig on 'She resources of tlieir garden, the fish of the lake aud tho game of tbe woods, and depending for other necessaries on the sale of shell-work, made from the exquisitely fine shells found in abundance along the lovely be ach to which they made occasional trips to a point twenty-five miles
distant. At last the old man and hu
daughter left, and none now remain to tell the story of a on Sebright and proniising oity.

So much for the charge of personal indifference brought against cats by those who prefer the promiscuous and obtrusive caresses or solicitations lavished by dogs on almost any stranger, to the choice and constant affection which cats, with tho insdncl peculiar to babies and themselves, re-

My 6coond story illustrates only thai attachment to places which is inAro commonly recognised an a folinc property, but illustrates it in so singular a degree that it may, perhaps bo thought worthy of this passing record. A favorite cat I know not whether the same was the hero or heroine; of tho story just givon was conveyed to London from a country house in the depth of Northumberland, and missed immediately after arrival. About a week afterward it arrivod at its old homo, half starved and wholly iallin from its high estito as a oat of quuli'y and distinction, but recognizable by the household left in charge, having nmrlt or inquired its way bank on toot along n course of some 800 miles, which it had just before tTayersetl a carriage for the first time.
