It is afdounjllnjtto nolo altnG?'. daily, and !s the face of whsi hM been -achieved in this, the nineteenth century, that there are victim*: of misplaced confidence being continusl'y hurled into eternity because this ^rea'. ahd tPrriblc abo^e, known as sleim boiler tsplosions, is al lowed to &o on unsupprefsed. Why is it that our law-makeis have not looked icO this matter along time since? Is it because tbat a life taken by tbs esploslon of a steam boiler ip tbe bMidfl.of iiitiom1 petent men is fiot j'lsl #3 precious as a lift) taken llj a dynanl'.te bomb, thrown by the Jiand of a Chicago anarchist? We have witnessed the spectacle, and the terrible and ertitl work wrought by the bursting of a sleatn boiler, with ilH atlendtug bloodshed, loss of life, niaimintj of limbs and bodies. VVe hft^fe feeen the poor victims Carried away suffering the agon'us of the doomed, to couches of misery and death. We have seen {others who have been wore fortunate (in one sense we might say le«fi), compelled to go hobblin" through life with crutch or staff. We na*v' seen poiirt and brokenhearted parents, so eprr.o\Vin1» to their traves' because 'hows loVe one has been ?nat'rhed thus ruthlessly from them and burled into the prepuce of their maker unintimpced. We have known wives to be mille widows, children made or* pfiftcs, aud cloud not sunshine, made to preva.te their home through life. They ire left by the negligence of the law aud law makeis io become the victims, tbat they are to drag out a miserable existance upon the c. .Id ehari'y of an unsyrnpathi2ing world.

With sttcb a record as this before them, it seeius to me that Ihe citizens of every state id our Union would cry out aloud against such a gigantic wrung, and demand in the name of humanity find common justice thai it cease. In Chicago ihere awails to day seven men who have been iu4de reepon&ible, and couJcinn

The [vcople and the .courts of the United States are pretty well satisfied as to what constitutes murder, or manslaughter, so long as tlie killing, is done with some savage implement, say a knife, club or a stone, also whem done by many of the ingeniona weapons that civilization has perfected for taking life. The laws take cognizance of poisoning, aud other means which leave no mark or shed no blood. It remains for criminal jurisprudence to devise lavfs which shall detect, try, convict. and punish the murderous idiots who persist in slaughtering hundreds of people by the explosion of steam boilers. ll is capable .of exact demonstration that such explosions can be entirely pre vented by uever permitting a boiler to be put under pressure that is not in charge of a competent engineer, a man who has been shown to be capable of performing that duty intelligently and safely, it is certain thai the man Who ignores the experience and laws which provides for safe boilers who will, nnder a false idea of economy, set up a death-trap, that is c.ertaiu to kill some body, ought to be prosecuted to conviction if lives are lust through his greed. It is only necessary to make an example of one, who never enquires as to a man's skill or experience when employing a person to take charge of a boiler, hnt contents himself by asking, "What wages do you want?" Let the law say,

only men

holding license shall have charge of steam boilers and when a proprietor places & boiler in charge of a "starter and «topt»er," a "so-called engineer," and death results, let him l»e proaecuted as are others who compasi tbe death of their fellow citiisns by other rueane. It ia hut. a few days since that the citiaena of your state were startled by the dlreiul intelligence that three large boilers at Kvansvilfe had let «o, causing the death of some aud wounding a large number of others employed about the works. The engineer or man In charge, who was very badly injured, but ia said to have a' like experience before (and of course, since he v&u more used to such a racket, did not fare so iadly as the rest) said t-r a reporter that the cause of the explosion was not a lack of water, as tbat fact was evidenced by every thing in the vicinity being covered wilh water thrown in every direction by I be explosion and a lire thereby prevenied. He stated farther that it was caused by the bad iron in the boilers. He said they were rot.'en and had to be patched every now and then. Why, with an ordinary hammer you could knock a hole through them. The last time they were patched the work was done by mechanics from Hielman foundry, only week before last. They were then two flue boilers, one of which was used in one John Grigg's mill which burned down on tlie spot where the explosion took place some twenty-five years ago, and the othertwo were about as old. They all three burst al once. Only a moment before Ihe explosion took place the whistle blew to thut down in order that the saws^might be changed, and the engineer had* just left the boiler room for the engine room when the catastrophe occurred. I have seen two men who have seen pieces of the iron which composed apart of the boiler, and they told me that they had never seen such iron in a steam boiler in their lives, and I have known one of the gentlemen to have been an engineer for

about fourteen years, and he claims to have had an experience of about thirty yeap, he being a m*n 54 years of age, ana whose veracity 1 have no reason to doubt. Had there been a license and a boiler inspection law, such as the engineers and citrus of your state are asking for, thos« boilers would have been condemned a long time since, and thus several valuable lives would have been saved, much suffering would have been avoided, ihe number of oripple? wcttld have been ka*. and tbe already hU"1'aned rtoord at

There should be such a gnawing of conscience among those prone to neglect their -boilers afid to employ incompetent men that they could not rest, say nothing about their running their old rotten boilers.

It is within human euey to stop it, and why should this rage intinite, outrage unspeakable, be wed to conlioue, and an intelligent lie be compelled tosuffexit longer? 11 along the stream of life, upon shore, we see scattered here and UielC witecks which have been brought abotxby the exptosiou of steam boilers iu tabandHof Pome "trapip engineer," onfe $ud hail no other .leconkiendatiou than Jhe fact ,11)at hfe was yvllling to iKork- -hi? much Ws'salhrv thr.tt man who has ^jientlcais lessioni We stop by one the newlymade in Us, and by the light of the night stirs, who with nature's shrouded canopylcasf a.sad, weird and significant scene round aboflt, and read as follow, the ppitipb—ft victim of misplaced confidence, prought to an Untimely toil by the eiplWton of a 6teatn boiler iu charge of 6.

In ^onclu»ioni let me Bar that *e have Milch 'feaScfil to hop? ana eipect that a law $ili be pa&sed tula winter sticb as will satisfy all of the requirements, and at the same time be fair and just to all. Engineers will be examined as to their ability acd knowledge of the business they claim be master of and stoats-boilel-0 frill be eieihined by a in an knowh lo be a practical and thorough engineer, who will be selected after .\ very rigid examination before a competent ho. rd appointed for that pur post?, If tbe ppirit of the law, which I 83\? being framed at tndianapolia be pssset!. I feel that all need to ttOdgraltllate themsalres upon being blessed with one so fair and jnst to all. And now as we go forth to our work at the beginning of this new year, let it be with a new resolution, and with a new impetus, to do our full duty and improve onrselvw, so that when the Inspectors call us to accotrnt We shall lie able,ttj tender slicti an one, as to show all the world that the work of the N.

After the slock yards were passed the conductor began to collect tickets. II bad readied nearly tlie center1 of the smoking ear, aud Was tearing ruile slipa out of the thousand-mile ticket John Rohbins, a traveling man of "Martina ville, when suddenly there was a jerk. "Hold on lo your seats," was all lie had time to say before tbe train was rolling dowu a ten foot embankment. The pas sengers grabbed their seals as instructed and held on with a death grip until the cars had reached a stand-still. The worsen screamed, and the scene is de scribed by those on board as a frightful one. The rause of the accident Was a broken rail, The engine and tender passed over safely, but when tbe front wheels of the truck of the baggage car struck the rail it was oilt of place, and the car, followed by the two behind it, dashed down the embankment to the right of the track. The fca«gat car landed fully twenty-live feit from the track, and, after turning over twice, nsted on itssidt. The "smoker,'' breaking loose from the baggage car, did not get quits so far from the track, aud landed on its side with the rear end on the track. The rear coach was not separated from tho preceding car, and rested on its side lengthwise, with the track a distance of fifteen or twenty f(-et from it.

Liabouehertt's Cbatnpaffiie. Loutiou Truth. When at Frankfort I had the honor of serving under the late Sir Alexander Malet, and certainly a more kindly chief was not to he found in the service. His legation was not accredited to several of the minor courts, and at one of them I was even more appreciated than my cbief. This was why. Occasionally there was a ball at the coiwt, which we were e3 pee ted to attend. At my first ball supper I found myself at a table next to a grandee, gorgeous in stars and ribbons. The servant came to pour outcharapagne. ISow, I detest this wine, so 1 shook my head. The grandee nudged me aud said, "Let him pour it out." This 1 did, and he explained to me tbat tbe potentate whose hospitality we were enjoying never gave his guests more than one glass, "so you see, if I drink yours I shall have two," and he suited the actiou to the word. After this there used lobe quite a struggle to sit near me at court suppers.

He could readily converse in eight different languages, und he could with little difficulty read and write a hundred more. But he did not give all his attention to philology. He excelled as a scien^, and received the Magellan medal for a scholarly paper on magnetism and gravity. This medal, by the way, was stolen from him by burglars, and never recovered.

If the strikers are a'o'e lo der out the miners lb« operjiois must yield. Their contracts will pinch them, and they will he quiet. If t! 1 cannot stop the supply from the mines the strike will fail, but unless the companies yield, tbe strike will l?.*' sliil another"week.
