ask why she must die. She looks healthy and seems to be growing fat upon the good food of the land. Nevertheless the NEWS feels sad her heart is full. She has heard the distant catawalling of the sonorous Thomas cat, and he says that her day of usefulness has not yet arrived that she is too new, that-she has no influence and is not worthy of a public recognition therefore, she must die. Well, when a person so influential, so knowing, so far. seeing, informs ua that we must die, why then we suppose we must, or at least we ought to try to die and if we don't, why, 'taint our fault. 0! we feel so small, but forgive us if we don't die to-day

KILLED BI THE CARS. TV. II. Ililbert, freight conductor on the Vandaha road met with his death yesterday by falling from his train between the cars at Plainfield a station about 14 miles this side of Indianapolis.
Mr. Hilbert, has been one of the most trusted conductors on the Vandalia road, having served the road as conductor for the last fourteen years, during which time he has resided in this city.
As Mr. Hilbert's train, local freight No. 17 was leaving Plainfleld for Indianapolis, he left the caboose to go forward to the engine. He had traversed but a few cars when in jumping from one to the other he fell between them.
Four cars and the caboose passed over him, crushing both legs and his right hand. He was picked up and brought home on the regular passenger train, arriving at 7 o'clock in the evening. On the way here Mr. Hilbert, who lay on an improvised pallet, continually vomited blood. When the train arrived it was run up to the Ninth street crossing where a large crowd of people were waiting to receive the injured man. He was conveyed to his residence, No. 502 north Ninth street, Where friends and family were in waiting. The scene when he was brought in and his wife learned that he could not recover, was heart-rendering.
She had been telegraphed of the accident, but did not know that sV was about to be deprived of that dearest friend on earth, her husband.
The injured man never lost consciousness from the time of the accident up to the hour of his death. Even though the doctors gava him up, he assured his wife that he would be all right again. But at about 9 o'clock last night he breathed his last.
Deceased was a member of Lodge No. 60, A. 0. U. W. Mr. Hilbert was about 86 years of age.

LONDON, April 19.—A tolerably certain evidence that the missing training ship Atlanta has been lost with all on board has now been furnished. The steamer Tylga has arrived at Lisbon, and has brought intelligence that the steamer Para, on the 3d of this month, passed a large amount of wreckage belonging to a sailing ship—masts, spars, deck-houses, rigging and so on. The captain of the Para believes that his vessel broke her shaft in consequence of her screw coming in contact and being entangled in seme of this wreckage, which is probably all that is left of the ill-fated Atlanta. There is now scarcely a shadow of hope left for the safety of the ship, and her sad fate

The Scenery of Iceland.
The fiords, which bursting through the rocky barrier that guards the coast, run far up into the interior, constitute a most characteristic feature of Icelandic scenery. They have all a great similarity of form, so that the description of the general features of one may serve equally for that of all the others. Having, probably, been at first rents or chasms, produced by the general upheaving of the Island, their length is often very disproportioned to their breadth some of them being scarcetwo miles wide, yet extending twentyve or even thirty, into the country, and continue still farther by narrow vales, down which the mountain rivers find their way to the sea. Lofty ridges, running out into the ocean, and ending in precipitous, headlands, separate them from each other. In the neighborhood of the Rode and Beru Fiords these assume their most magnificent appearance, attaining an elevation of nearly 4,000 feet though their average helgnt on the other parts of the coastls only about the half of that now specified. So sudden is the rise of these mountains, that it is no uncommon thing to find precipices 1,000 feet high, from the top of which a stone may be cast into the sea. The fiords are thus shut in on both sides by perpendicular walls of rock towering up to a tremendous height, whose summits arc clothed with eternal snows, or veiled in dark clouds. All abound seems dead no trace of life is visible. Man and all that he produces vanish amidst the mightier works of nature. Woods and the higher classes of the vegetable creation are entirely wanting, and the naked rocks are too steep for even the hardy birch or stunted willow to fix their roots. No sound is heard save the billows dashing on the craggy shore, no motion seen but the cataract rushing down the nigged cliffs. Such is the general appearance of these fiords, and the repulsive aspect they present yet there does the Icelander choose his dwelling, unappalled by the rocka which threaten every moment to crush him by their fall. The island is nowhere thickly peopled, but these firths and all their connected valleys are more so than any other portion. Here grassy meadows are found in the immediate vicinity of the sea and here, therefore, the native* can employ In conjunction both those sources of gain which alone the severe climate leaves open to them.

GREAT DEEDS AND LITTLE DEEDS.—One Niagara is enough for the continent or the world, while the same world requires thousands and tens of thousands of silver fountains and gently flowing rivulets, that water every iarm and meadow and every garden, and that shall flow on every day and every night with their gentle, quiet beauty. So wifli the acts of our lives. It is not by great deeds, like those or the martyrs, that good is to be done it is by the daily and quiet virtues of life, the Christian temper, the good qualities of relatives and friends, and all, that it is to be done.

No Republican should be deceived by the idle talk over the possibility of carrying Virginia, Florida, or any other Southern State in the next Presidential election. It is not in the books. Were there a freo election in Southern States, and thefrcedmen allowed to vote, there would be no trouble about it. Mississippi, Louisiana' Florida, South Carolina, and even Alabama. would be swept by the Remiblleans. But no such election will be allowed in any Southern State. Freedom of elections, as understood at the North, is not known in the South, and never will bo until new lines are drawn and parties aro reorganized.
If the Republicans elect the next President, it will be done by the vote of tho people of the Northern States.
