The revival which has been going on at Jones' Tabernacle for the last two weeks, is perhaps the most successful of any that

haa ever been held in the city so far; it will be continued for an indefinate period in Ue future. A distinguished revivalist from abroad is expected within a few days, to viit Elder Manson in his arderous labor?, which is as it should be, -for we look at the man and are compelled to wonder what manner of a man he is, and if he ever tires.

A most heartrending accident occurred abut 5:20 o'clock last evening at the crossing of Liberty street and the railroad tracks. It appears that Joseph Bush, Al Beamer and Robert Alexander met on East Washington street during the afternoon, and after spending an hour together in social chat, Beamer proposed that Robert Alexander, who resides at Brightwood, should take him home in his buggy, which was standing hitched in front of the saloon wnere they were eneacreü in conversation. Mr. Alexander assented to the' proposition, but said he could not go himself, as he was waiting to see a man with whom he had business, when Joe Bush proposed to take Beamer home and return with the buggy. The two started off together, and in attempting to cross the railroad at Liberty street, a mssing en gine struck the buggy, throwing both the men out. Bush falling with his left leg upon the track. The engine passed over Ins leg, crushing it almost entirely off from the knee down., lie was left lying i"n the gutter where the accident occurred for some time, and when finally taken to the Institute was so weak from the loss of blood that the physicians were unable to perform the necessary operation until reaction set in, which did not take place until a late hour. He will probably die. Bush is a married man, but is separated from his wife, who is living at 1G0 North Delaware street. The crossing at Liberty street is one of the most dangerous in the city, and still there is no flagman stationed there. High Behoof Notes. If Origen wrote six thousand volumes, he didn t mumnate much. There was no recitation Wednesday, on account of the death of a pupil. Declamations and essays have been aban doned until after examination . The boys of the senior class who carry papers are wont to take a short nap daily. Major Lews, of Mr. Wright's room, de clined "Roma" with an astounding novelty, K( mtnem." Some of the girls willl grow crooked if they don't hold their heads more erect and platomcally. Bert C, will prosecute Collins for postal services rendered last year, as soon as Bowser returns from tho Legislature. The celerity with which Miss Nicholson gave out questions, rriday, called Ed Cooper's phonography conveniently into play. Herbert Collins continues to carol for h his melodies ubiquitously. His last was in the person of a little note whose destiny, of course, was Li. K. (not L. a.) Now that night-school No. 24 has ceased to be, it will be a great difficulty for Gabe Jones to restrain his hands from grasping a rope with something at the other end. Mr. Brown thinks the girls are preparing to undergo the incandescence of the world msummated by 1 roctor, the astronomer: "To an end the world will com, la eighteen hundred and eighty. one." Ob, gives. Uistorv continues to revelate. Crhist, in Greek means fist, and nope means papa in Italian. Postulating these things we don't wonder at the fish story, Jonah and the whale, and the unmitigated perorogative of the Pope. We note with deep regret the sudden death of Miss Mary bpaulding. That she was a bright, Persevering, industrious pupil all her associates and classmates will affirm. We extend to her parents our deepesi sympathies. A lady called at the office the other day to know if that was not the lunatic asylum, Mr. Roberts assured in the negative. She insisted that it was, and it was only with that superfluous flow of rhetoric and logic char acteristic of the High School that he pre vailed. .Moral: Are we thus to be tor tured? Death, A gloom las been cast over the entire community by toe sudden death of Mamie Spaulding of the senior class of the High School. She was taken sick on last Saturday and rapidly grew worse until death relieved her sufferings at 3 o'clock Wednesday morn inc. The funeral ceremonies took place at the Second Baptist Church on Friday afternoon, too late lor us to give an account in this week's Leader. A full account will be published next week. In the death of Mary opauming mis community nas suuerea an irreparable loss. A purer, nobler girl never lived. Luke Jones died of consumption on Mon day last and was buried from the Bethel A. M. E. Church, on Wednesday. A large conccun-e oi devoted mends witnessed the last sad rites. The ceremony was conduct ed by .Lincoln Union Lodge, of which ho was ajbeloved member. The infant child of Don Dunlap died last Saturday and was buried. It was a sad bereavement to the devoted parents. A roan, subscribing himself as ''A Common-Sense Engineer" in the Scientific American, proposes a plan to transport freight and passengers from New York City to San Francisco, a distance of some 3,000 miles, in ten hours. His plan is to divide the distance into thirty parts, with stations at every 100 miles. The track, which is movable, is divided into sections and put into and continued in rapid motion by stationary engines at each station. Thus a locomotive under full head of steam on the rapidly-moving track is carried forward at lightning speed, while tho wear and tear of machinery is no greater than upon other railroads. There are seventeen railroads in operation in South Carolinia, with a total length, exclusive of sidings, of 1407 J mile. The total expense for running these for 1880 was $3,585,760; the total income was $4.943,. 074; net earnings $1,657,308 In 1879, the total expense was $3,098,340; gross income, $4,008,802; net earnings, $910,540. 3

The Indianapolis Journal admits the feasibility of placing a colored man in Gar field's Cabinet, but doubts the ability of Lx Senator Bruce to fill the position. Where the Journal obtained authority upon which to base its doubt is a mystery. We are constrained to believe that it is a machination of the editor's own brain, merely a germ of Bourbon prejudice. Mr. Bruce is widely known as a man of learning and ability, this, with his high moral standing and ex cellent bearing, is a eufBcent equivolent for any position the Republican party may grant to him.

"The Senior class,'' says the Xenia Torch light, ''has given rise and birth to two fac tions." The Senior and Baltimore clubs, the former includes generally the Southern young ladies, the latter the Easteners. The feeling toward them from the other classes has been carried out by drawing the line caste. This is no more than putting llberforce on an equal with other colleges. When one, two, or three gentlemen want to seo young ladies, the whole school ought not expect to be invited.

James, Jr., and Professor C. A. White,who reported the following: Whereas, it has pleased Almighty God, in Iiis wise providence, to remove from our midst by death our beloved and highly esteemed friend, Miss. Cecelia Ferguson, daughter of Mrs. Kate Ferguson, who departed this life December 14th, 1880, at 11 , m., in the 21st year of her age. Miss

Ferguson had been for eleven months a member of the above named club; and, whereas,

we had all learned to love her for her great usefulness in the olub, and her ardent zeal, manifested until the last, for the club we represent, therefore, Resolved, That we, the members of said club, while we recognize the beneficient hand of Divine Providence in her removal, and bow in humble submission to God, we can not but feel to have sustained a very great loss, and truly mourn the same, but feel that God doeth all things well; therefore we will cherish the recollection of her many virtues. Resolved, That we do sincerely sympathize with her bereaved mother, brother and sister, in the time of their greatest sorrow. Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be presented to the family and press. Cleveland (O.) Items.'

An account of the ball which was to have taken jjlace last night, at Weisgerbor's Hall, in next week's issue of the Leader. Paul Gaston left the city last Tuesday week on a lecturing tour. Mr. Gastun, as the people of this city will remember, gave a lecture in Turn Hall some time ago, on theLife, Character and heroism of Toussaint L'Ouverture," and met with quite a success. The constant readers of the Leader remember his article written for this paper on the "Self-Education of the Slaves of Louisiana," which alone stamps him as a man of intelligence and ability. I have in hand a bill announcing a lecture by Mrs. Gaston, A. M., for the benefit of the A. M. E. Church of Kansas City, January 19, on the ''Life of Toussaint L'Ouverture.'"' Mr. Gaston's tour will take him as far as Denver, Col , first visiting Leavenworth, Atchison, St. Joseph, Topeka and Denver. Wwe ish him all the success possible. Go to the concert to-night at the Central High School. The daily papers have commented a great deal on what was said by the speakers of both delegations that have visited General Garfield in the last two weeks. Some of the papers seem still to think that their visits were to further the chances of Bruce to a position in the Cabinet, while the Cleveland Leader thinks, 4as Senator Bruce sat quietly in the Senate and did not show any marked abilities,' ho is not competent to occupy a Cabinet position with credit. A third delegation was to have come this week. KOX XOLO'S RANDOMS. Miss Minnie Nelson, who has been visiting in Buffalo since early in October, is expected home next week.

In one of the poems in this volume, Mr, Ten ny eon has, in our judgment, attained, his highest reach as a poet dealing with tho large issues of individual human life. It is called "Rizpah," and although the heroine is an English peasant of the last century uVisca onn Vi o u Kdoti rri KVvif ol t Vi k ty ri f la ww uvcu coil una vi v sv, v v- v o identical with that of the beautiful Bible story of her who, when her sons were hanged "in the hill before the Lord," "took sackcloth and spread it for her upon the rock, from the beginning of harvest until water dropped upon them out of Heaven, and suffered neither the birds of the air to rest on them by day nor tho beasts of the field by night." When we say that Mr. Tennyson, in naming his poem after her who, as a pathetic figure, stands alone even among.ihe sad sisters of Niobe, has not done a presßnptuous thing, we are, of course, saying that he has produced a poem which has no equal in the tragic poetry of oui time. It is impossible to read it without, as the poem goes on, being overwhelmed by a pity that is almost intolerable for the heroine of the poem. Having read it, it is im possible to recall it without a feeling of reverence for the great poet whose genius and deep heart called her into dramatic life. A clergyman of Troy, Rev. Mr. Hamlin, came near finding out, on Christmas night, exactly how disagreeable it is to be hanged. T his gentleman was not a male factor, but, on the contrary, was the victim of five tipsy ruffians who asked him for money, and then prepared to take vengeance on him because he refused to grant their demands. Happily tho attack was before his own door. The ruffians were adjusting a rope around Mr. Hamlin's neck in order to hang him to a convenient lamp post. His screams brought his wife and a neighbor, through v hose efforts Mr. Hamlin was released and his assailants put to flight. In the controversy the neighbor was stabbed, and Mrs. Hamlin's eye was blackened.
