The House, on motion Of Mr. Biocum, of New York, inunediately passed Urn measure over the Pmidantnvetobyioato 78. Tho President, in his veto message, takes tbe same view as the Attorney festers! regarding the constitutionality'of tbe hul, and says: Thdre are other eanaea that deter me from giving this hul tha Benetton of my approval.

A conclusion at variance with these findings his been reached after investigation by aboard consisting of three officers of the army. This board was not created in pursuance of any statutory authority, and was powerless to compel the attendance, of witnesses or to pronounee jjpdgmsnt which could be lawfully enforced. The officers who composed it, in their report to tbe Secretary of War, dated March 19, 1879, state that in their opinion "Justice requires such action as may be necessary to annul and set aside the findings and sentence of the court-martial in the case of Maj.

MAD RUSH OF A TEAIN, SleepIng-Cars, Running a Mile Minute, Hurled Into n Hirer
Marvelous Escape of All the Passengers Thrilling Stones. Lynchburg (Va.) Teleerain. A railroad disaster of a thrilling and remarkable onaraotor occurred tin tho Virginia Midland Railroad near tilts' city. The VasiiiuKttra and New Yofk sleeping-cars Wore precipitated front a bridge into tile James Eivcr, and yet not a single life was lost The escape of forty or more persons from death was almost miraculous, and the scenes while their rescue was being effected from tho submerged ears wore exciting beyond description The train Was the morning clpross, to which the through sleepers from New YoA and Washington had bsen attached, and both wero well filled With passengers men, women, and children. All wont well until reaching a point about two miles north of Lynchburg, where there is a heavy down-grade. The engineer found that the speed of the train was rapidly increasing, though he bad shut off steam and applied the air-brakes. To his surprise there was no perceptible diminution of ihe train's motion, and it became apparent that, through some defect in tho brakes, they were not operating. The speed of tbe train increased with caah revolution of tho wheels, andi during the ran to the rivera distance of nearly two miles, tha train swept along at the rate of more than a mile a minute. Some of tho passengers were alarmed, but none were prepared for the thrilling episode which was so soon to follow. Utoon reaching the bridge the engine, tender, and baggage-car kept the track, but the smoker swayed so that it struck the girders, throwing it from the track and causing the cart following to do the same. The truoks of the smoking-car tore the sleepers away for a distance of more than a hundred feet, and when the heavy sleeper reached the place the strength was insufficient for their support, and they went crashing through into the f iter. The water into which the cars plunged was ten feet deep, and the terrified passengers were of course imprisoned like dogs in a pound. Their stifled screams for aid as the water rose around them were pitiable in the extreme, bnt there was apparently little room to hope for their rescue. Condflctor William King was thrown from a platform and had two ribs broken, but realising tho peril of the passengers he wottt promptly and heroically to their aid. Procuring an ax he, with one or two other persons, swam to the submerged cars and Bmaghcd in the ventilators at the top of the cars. By this time the water had reached that point, and the struggling paSsengerl were clinging to upper berths and the bellrope to keep from drowning. The scream! of the women and children were heartrending. One by one the half -drowned passengers were dragged through the opening and helped ashore until all were got ont safely. Among the many thrilling incidents was that experienced While rescuing the child of Mrs. J. S. Fardon. The terrified woman while in an upper berth which was fast being flooded with water, pushed her 2-months-old baby through a window and held it there until it was rescued. The heroic woman was then saved herself. Old railroad men say this escape was One of the most remarkable that have ever been recorded in the history of railroad disasters.
THE PROHIBITIONISTS.
To Succeed on the stage. John McCnliough insists on familiar
ity -with routine, and on habitual unconsciousness that leaves the intelli
gence perfectly free. But the two
qualities which he regards aa impera
tively essential to success are com
prised in tbe terms heart and untiring
industry. Joe Jefferson says that the successful
actor must be gifted with "sensibility, imagination, and personal magnetism.''
The student snoum oegin at tne foundation to learn. He thinks it a mistake
to regard the lower positions degrad
ing. Dome actors ne says, are inspirational and inventive, while others must have everything clearly mapped out, and a thorough plan of action arranged before they begin. " Lawrence Barrett does not think that physical size has anything to do with success. He says there havo been large generals and small generals. Salvini and Booth illustrate the fact in relation to tragedians. In his opinion, it wonld be best if a young man' could start in a school of actors, so that he might have none bnt models to guide him. Every actor is an imitator of Borne time in his youth. An actor can be great in only a few parts. William 'Warren says the chances for getting on are greater than when he was a boy.' He says of the comedian that he should have a real, genuine appreciation of the humorous and grotesque in life, and the magnetic power to make others feel as he feels. He need not, by any means, be what is known as a "funny man." Ho does not hold to the theory that any particular size of body is essential to success as a comedian. John Reeve and Burton -were fat men decidedly; Charles Matthews, on the other hand, was thin. Mod jeska believes in "vocation," She thinks the best school for acting 1b the stage itself, when one begins by playing small parts. She believes more in inspiration, at the last, than technique or art, important elements as the latter are. Maggie Mitchell says the stage is the only school, and 18 is the minimum age
for going before tho footlights; and: she nails the change in favor of simple ; and jndicions f emalo costuming on the I stage. j The Mysterious Language of the Lunch j Counter. j "Three np, eoff !" called the waiter. I The reporter looked curiously to see ' what the unusual order meant. The waiter brought the customer three ! small cakes and a cup of coffee. j "One brown buck," cried another . waiter. In a few minutes he brought the customer a plate of buckwheat cakes done brown. I "Beef and'' and "ham and" were fre- ' quently heard, and the orders wero 1
filled with beef and beans and ham and eggs. "Give me a plate of beans," he said to the waiter. "One plato of Boston strawberries," yelled that functionary. The old gentleman was startled, but aoon received his favorite dish, at a cost of 10 cents, while the New York strawberries would have cost him 50. "Cincinnati quail, have it fat," was the next order. The cook cut off a largo slioe of fat pork and put it on the range. "All waiters," said the proprietor, who sat at the door to son that no man escaped without paying his bill, "have a system of abbreviation and a peculiar nomenclature for food. Some of our customers know this technical form of ordering so well that they use it themselves." A well-dressed man hero entered, and, taking a seat at the table, ordered the waiter to bring him two fii-hballs. "One sleeve-buttons," cried the waiter, while the cook softly repeated, "sleeve-buttons." New York Dial. Love never tires; and the more we love, the more we have of solid satisfaction. Every new soul we come in contact with and learn to esteem fills us with new life. Those who love others are themselves full of sunshine, and the day marches triumphantly on with them from rosy mora to dewy oy find jnat night.
Frospeota for the National Convention at Pittsburg, ' rPittsbnrg dlstatch.l Reports received at the Prohibition headquarters indicate that the national convention, which will assemble in this city on the 23d of July, will be one of the largest temperance gatherings ever held in the world. Over 1,000 delegates are expected to be E resent. The convention will be held in ofayette Hall, where the first National Republican Convention was held. Arrangements are being made by a committee of 200 local Prohibitionists. The expenses will be met by private subscriptions. The local leaders talk most extravagantly of the prospects of the party. Many firmly believe that the convention will name the next President of the United States. Secretary Swoger said in an interview to-day: "We contend that Ohio and Michigan are already pronounced Prohibition States, and that in calculations of tho present dominant political patties they should be left out By nominating such a man as Clinton B. Fiske, of Naw Jersey, I believe that New York, New Jersey, California, Kansas, Iowa, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, and some of the Southern States will give their electoral votes to the Prohibition party." The canvass for the nomination is quite animated. Gideon T. Stewart, of Norwalk, Ohio, is probably the leading candidate, and will come to the convention with a very strong support. In this locality, however, Clinton B. Fisk, of New Jersey, is the leading favorite, and in Methodf.st circles is being strongly and effectively urged. B. H. McDonald, President of the Paoiflo Bank of California, is urged by the Western and Pacific-Slope Prohibitionists, and will come into the convention with the unanimous support of the delegation from California. Gov. St. John, of Kansas, will have tbe support of the delegates from his State. There are other names mentioned, but Fiske for President and John Russell, the veteran Prohibitionist of Michigan, for Vice President, seems to be a very satisfactory combination.
FATAL ACCIDENT.
Husband and Wlfu Killed in a Runaway Smashup. IBellefonntaine (Ohio) dispatch. A sad accident occurred at Huntsville, six miles north of Bellefountaine, last evening. Lewis Murphy, Marshal of the town, and wife were ont riding in a buggy behind a vicious Texan pony. The horse became on. manageable, throwing out Mr. Murphy, who is a cripple wearing a cork leg, breaking his back and terribly injuring his head. Plunging forward, the frightened animal brought the buggy into conu.ct with a heavy gravel wagon just as Mrs. Murphy was preparing to jump backward. She was thrown on her head and instantly killed, her neck being broken. She and her husband were laid side by side in a yard, and his screams as he implored his neighbors to kill him were heartrending. He said he had dreamed the night before that he was thrown from his buggy and his eyes gouged out, and that he was accountable for his wife's death, as he had coaxed her to ride with him. He is unconscious and will die. Mrs. Murphy was thirty years old and leaves three children.

No Apologies "We wero poor enough in those days, said an eminent nublicist. onoo. in talk
ing to a friend about his early married lifo, with its hard struggles, its plain living, and high thinking. "We were poor enough, and we lived upon baked beans with no fiork;
"Some folks didn't like beans with no
pork to season them; but mother" (mother meant his wife) "neter made
any apologies. When company came, she put on an extra plate, and said din
ner was ready, just as cheerfully as if
there had been ten courses.
If they liked us well enough to
come again tney were always welcome. It wot a kind Of test, If they pre
ferred, pork, they stayed where It was
plenty. To our thinking, this frugal house
wife proved her claim to be considered a lady more conclusively by making no apologies than she could have dono in altmt any other war, Does the
chronic apologize ever stop to think
how selfish she is, in considering the petty annoyance of being in this or that direction less perfectly appointed than she could wish, rather than the
ease and comfort of her guest?
For what guest can be at case having been made to feel that he has come at
an inopportune time that some other
day his hostess would have been more ready and, therefore, more glad to see
InmY
A lady well known to tho society oi
two cities is a chronic maker of excuses.
If you go to a large dinner-party at her house you feei by some spiritual mag
netism the unrest of her own spirit
the wearing anxiety lest everything should not go off well which makes it impossible for her to be quite at her
ease.
"I beg your pardon," she says, at the
end of your prettiest speech, showing
that her thoughts have been other
where.
If you go to a family lunch or dinner, she does wish you had been there
yesterday, when the soup was better, or that von had come to-morrow, in
stead, when some other dainty would
have been attainable. "Do you often go to see Mrs. So-and-So?" one friend asked of another, in our hearing. "No, I don't," was the answer j "I'm sorry, too; she is such a kind little woman; but I could not stand her apologies. They always make me feel that I had come at the wrong time." If the thought could be present to a hostesi that to apologize profnsely is, inevitably, to make her guests feel that they have come "At the wrong time,'' surely she would avoid this error, since the very essence of good-breeding is that genuiue kindness of heart whioh
strives to make people comfortable and
not uncomfortable, happy and nor un
happy. Youth's Companion,
The (Jreat Unknown. But evon then the imperative instinct which demanded the integration of na
ture's observed forces into a conception
of infinite power, and which was irre
sistibly borne on to add wisdom also to that power seven then it is not pacified. It clamors for one more quality;
and' then it will be still. Relative, hu
man, provisional call it what you will
nevertheless this third and compiementarv concention will no more take
a denial, will no more obey a frown and waive its right to rush into the inevitable combination, than matter will po
litely waive its chemical affinities. As
tbe human mind is stupeneaat the bare idea of swift and gigantic energy abroad in the universe without purpose or intelligence (as we inadequately say) to unirlo it. so assuredly the human
heart stands still in palsied horror at
the frightful thought of "an infinite and eternal force," guided, indeed, by an infinite cunning, but checked by no
sort of goodness, mercy, or love. In short, no authority on earth not even
that of all the philosophers and scient
ists and theologians that have ever lived could impose upon any man who thought Mr. Herbert Spencer's "First Principles" out to their ultimate conclusion, the portentous belief in an eternal, almighty, omniscient devil. And therefore to add goodness to the
other two factors of power and wisdom,
which we are compelled by the constitution of our nature to attribute to the Great Unknown, is pardonable because
inevitable. But if so, it seems that agnosticismif allowed to develop freely on its own lines, without artificial hindrance must needs become a "Chris
tian agnosticism." And it only remains to ask, why in the world should not
suoh an agnostic "go to church," fall in with the religious symbolisms in ordinary use, and contribute his moral aid
to those who have taken service under the Christian name on purpose to purify gross and carnal eyes, till they be
come aware of the Great Unknown be
hind the veil, and so zome to relatively
know what absolutely passes knowledge. Rev. Canon Curhte, in Popular Science Monthly.
Bnrdette Hakes a Harden. I think I will make a garden. In
fact, I am positive that I wili To confess the whole dreadful truth, I have made one. I dig daily in the ground and inhale the wholesome gases that rise from the mangled earth and feed worms to the robins. Indeed, that is principally what I dig for, beonuae when the worms give out the Prince makes me abandon the claim and prospect in another place, and when we

lode in all its dips, spurs, angles and
sinuosities, through all manner of saline aquatic indications, consisting of oyster shells and upheavuls of anhydrous silicate bearing brickbats and agatized
auartz. with traces of discarded gum
shoes in the porphyritio blend. That makes pretty hard digging, and the erratic impatience of the youth makes us run largely to pocket mining, so that the lawn and the entire yard appear to have been vaccinated for an oil
town, and callers wno come alter aarK
fall iuto more holes betweeu the gate and the porch than they can count. But so long as the robins wax fat and kick the Prince is satisfied, and I have to bo. I haven't much influence with this administration. After all, what do
we live for. if it isnt to please the chil

FIRES.
Borne Snyawstlons In Regard to Preventing
Them. Oter $100,000,000 worth of property is burned annaally in this country. It ia an enormous drain Upon the industries of the country. It does not mattor whether it comes out of individuals
or out of insurance companies. It
conies ottt of the country just the same in either case. Can any of this vast amount be saved? If so, it is just so much to be added to the welfare of the country. Wo have never seen a complete set of rules or suggestions for the prevention of iires. There should be one to accompany every fire-insurance policy. It ought to be in such form as to be posted in every house, so that each member of the household could see it daily. At tho risk of not oven approaching the subject, we submit the following rules. The leading causes of fires are kerosene oil, matches, and furnaces. 1. Always buy the best quality of oil, 2. Never make a sudden motion with a lamp, either in lifting it or setting it down. 3. Never place a lamp on the edge of a table or mantel. 4. Never fill a lamp after dark, even if you have to go without a light. 5. See that the lamp-wicks are always clean, and that they work freely in the tube. 6. Never blow out a lamp from the top. 7. Never take a light to a closet win re there are clothes. If necessary to go to tho closet, place the light at a distance. 8. Use small candles just as much as possible in going about the house and in bedrooms. They are cheaper, can't explodeand for very many purposes are just as good as lamps. 9. Matches should always be kept in stone or earthen jars, or in tin. 10. They should never be left where rats or mice can get hold of them. Thero is nothing more to the taste of a rat than phosphorus. They will eat it, if they can get it. A bunch of matches is almost certain to be set on fire if a rat gets at it. 11. Have perfectly good safes in every place where matches are to be used, and never let a match be left upon the floor. 12. Never let a match go out of your hand, after lighting it, until you are sure the fire is out; and then it is better to put it in a stove or an earthen dish. 13. It is far better to use the safety matches whioh can only be lighted upon the box whioh contains them. 14. Havo your furnaces examined carefully in the fall, and at least once during the winter, by a competent person. All of the pipes and flues should be carefully looked to. 15. If there are any closets in the house near chimneys or flues, which thero ought not to be, put nothing of a combustible nature into them. Such closets will soil silver, and crack crockery, and burn bedding. They form a bad part of any house which contains them. 16. Never leave any wood near a furnace, range, or stove to dry. 17. Have your stoves looked to frequently, to see that there are no holes for coals to drop out. IS. Never put any hot ashes or coals in a wooden receptacle. 19. Be sure that there are no curtains or shades that can be blown into a gaslight, 20, Never examine a gas meter after dark. , Fires, of courso, arise from other causes than those we have stated. Smokers burn up much valuable property which is not in the shape of cigars. Bunches of oiled rags, of the most inanimate nature in themselve, still perform the most wonderful feats in the destruction of property. Tramps, with their old pipes, will creep into barns and haymows, and servants will be careless in thousands of ways, but, if every person who owns property will give the subject attention, and see that those around him are posted, and see that reasonable rules are always obeyed, many thousands of dollars could be saved annually, whioh are now burned out of existence ST. Y. Independent. Magic Age Table. . There is a good deal of amusement in the following table of figures. It will enable you to tell how old the young ladies are. Just hand this table to a young lady and ask her to tell you in which column or columns her age is contained; add together the figures at the top of the columns in which her age is to be found, and you have the secret. Thus, supposing her age to be 17, you find that number in the first and fifth columns; add the first figures of these two columns : 1 2 4 8 16 32 3 3 5 9 17- 83 5 6 6 10 18 34 7 7 7 11 19 35 9 10 12 12 20 36 11 11 13 13 21 37 13 14 14 14 22 38 15 15 15 15 23 39 17 18 20 24 24 40 19 19 21 25 25 41 21 22 22 ' 26 26 42 23 23 23 27 27 43 25 26 28 28 28 44 27 27 29 29 29 45 29 30 30 30 30 46 31 31 31 31 31 4733 34 36 40 48 48

This would be an excellent thing for i
boys and girls to try at winter parties, molasses candy pulls and spelling schools. There is great fun in it, and none, not even the school teacher, can tell how it is done unless he knows before the secret.
All Took a Hand. Tbe Bavarian peasants are in many
respects similar to the lower order of Irish. They drink a great deal, are quite witty, and are never so happy as when thoyare fighting with each other, and like the Irish, are strict Catholics. A story is told of two Bavarian peasants meeting on tho road, and holding the following conversation:
