TUKOtOH TK4 IIKAIO. A Your? Bilde Mortally VToan Jed While Playing tYlth a Pistol. CLEvrLAsn, O., Aug. 8. Oae of the most sorrowful accidents, as the result of the c.arelesa handling of a pistol, that ha3 ever been recorded here, and one that is exceptional because it is ia the higher walks of life, with a handsome bilde 3 the victim of her own carelessnese, h3 just come to Mjht, although, extraordinaiy e fforts were made to keep it ! secret. Tbe victlai i3 Mrs. Garrhoa, the ! beautiful end accomplished wi.'a of Sylvester I Garrison, of the White Sew i-.g "Machine Comi pany. Mr. and Mrs. Garrison were married I on the ltllh of July, and had just returned ; from the usual tour and were stopi ping at the residence of tha senior j Garriion, on Lake slreet, wherc the accident I happened last e vening. Mr. and Mrs. Gar- ! rist n and Mrs. Haggerland, tb.3 bride's sister, I were in the parlor at the time. Mrs. G.trrii son was showing an elegant pearl -handled 22 -call Der revolver, winon was a prceut i.-om ter husband, and the two were joking e ich other about their profijieucy in handling :e-8Jmt. Mr. Ganiton L;'ü, es Lasoppo ed, wi'hdrawn all the cartridge?, and Lenc.3 no alarm was felt by Lira e.Unouh the pistol was pointed and snapped at both the husband and sister. Mrs. Garriton is nu uausuoliy good marksman and was tcllingof her pröür.ieccy in an egotistical manner, when Mrs. Ha'-'ier'and. who can not handln a pistol with" any effect, jealously aid, "Oa, rshaw, yon couldn't hit the side of your own enlarged cranium." '"Couldn't I?" eaid Mrs. Garrison, with a gay flourish of the pistol, and she r ninted It at her head and pulled tbe trigger. The ere chamber proved to be loaded, and the ball penetrated the skull abont two inches above the right ear. Doctors Peck and Jewell made efforts to extract the ball, without even locating it. The physicians say there is very little hope of the lady's recovery. Bat, strar.ee to Fay, she has not been unconscious at any timo since the accidenOnd being a very nervy and determined person, she has withstood the shock wonderfully well, and in this tbe physicians base their only hope of recovery. The husband is almost crazed with grief, and the accident ba cast a gloom over the happy inner circle of friends and relatives, who are the only persons who have np to this hoar learn ed of tbe accident. Another effort will be made to extract tbe ball to-morrow. A Donble Duel Chattasoooa, Aug.

Asa ruie, attested by the experience of every man who has had dealings with the most sjec:ssful men in the commercial world, it is not good policy tochoo?efrom the ranks of '"business, men" these who have charge of the business of such a Nation as ours. There are bcnoiable exceptions, which, however, only prove the itile. For many years it ha been tbe cry ot the Republican leaders tbat "the business interests cl the coantry" f orbid the removal from power ot the Rep ublican party. We have heard oracular utterances from men who knew nothing of the scieace cf government cot measured by the rules of their bas'ness establishments, which are biied pen absoluleism (for the bead of any sue ctsslnl kusinere must, of necessity, be an autocrat) tbat a change of administration wilt "ucsctile values," assure nckange.ol policy to which . i4 ;nWtMkere-a-r more for the Government ' i'o adjust itsalf," and similar phrases delivered wilh ptrr Llike solemnity, which have impressed tbe masses as bating some formidable meaning, fcr the very reason that they were unintelligible. Yetitis easily demonstrable that tbe country has been going to the devil ever since "tbe business interesis" became dominant. The train:r,5 of a "business man" from youth up is to make money. Thi3 ia the piecept that is dinned into his ear from the first day Le hops nimbly over the counter and takes the width of hia thumb off every yard he measures, until the day he rolls irr money and seeks to quiet his conscience by giving freely to the Church and sparsely to ccaiity. ins training soon develops the i instinct of the piamire to which i boiomon curecieu attention, neutscoverj taat i bis profits grow ia proportioa as he sands his sugar and shortens his yard-stick, ! especially if he has the good fortune to have j a pleesing arc! insinuatit g address, calca- ' lated to retain the confidence and esteem of ! his fellows. As he grows in experience and : discovers how credulous rno.it men aud , nearly all women are, the practice cf beating : Ids neighbors becomes app?9ion almost es ' fascinating as the love of gain, and ths two : together lorce Lira into a life of deceit and i bypocrifsy tbat is p.s exciting and as congenial : to him as were the more open and manly i predatory excursions of the robber btrous ' who with shield and sword Laid tribute j upon the producers hi the middle ages. With ' stich instincts and auch training this cls3 began to be. drawn ut on affrr tbe close of tha : Civil AVar fcr elevation to public station. The specious aud plausible rcasoa Lor nomiuatir.g for cihcisi station0 requiring some knowledge cf tbe science of tovernmert mea who bad crown rich iu commercial porsuitp, was thot "a nan who bad bten em- ; irently succe sful in l.U own bnsir.es. mast ' n ake tbe very test per.n to put in charge . of tbe business of the jablic." i AVlatJollv' ; T1t busirc-sä cf r.n individual is a govcrn- ' ment In which llies proprlefr is t iie e.utocrat ' ard his employes his- servant?.

Transplant tie succe siui business man to a hih tlhcial station in the public service, and it is as inviUble Ihat be will carry his commercial training in to the dircha-ge cf the dtitic3 of tbat office a3 that death is the lot of man. Heia as certain to become corrupt 63 an opportunity large enocgh to tempt Lim presents itself, and the only precaution he takes is to make eure that be wiil not sutler the penalties imposed by the law. Let him be assured of immunity frcrn punishment, and so far from fearing the dissraco of exposure, he rather courts a publicity that sustains in the wide field cf public life the "business Eagacity" that gave him pre-eminence in the narrow Circle of bis province. As long as he escapes the Tenitentiary, keeps his bank account balanced on the right side and contributes a few hundreds to the Church and other Charities, he holds up bis head and parades aa a "respectable citizen" with the applause, alac, of tbat noisest. and most noisome rclass in every community, the toadies arid flunkies. That is commercial 1 honor, feebly illustrated. Iperhap, but every village in the United b:ates will reco;nizs its accuracy. But if we are ever to get frooi nrder the control of thl3 c!a?s we mast raise the old JelTersonian standard, which, wit a tbe unfortunate and shallow instioct of Americans to snatch eagerly at a phrase to express a system hasbeeu wretehedlyjepitoniized by mtsinten relation of hia famous interregtdory as applied to the oilica-seKer.
