The French have always had a
tendency to escuDe nresent trouble
by flying. to evils they know not of.
ana it is only strange that more of
their defeated generals have not
tried to evade the consequences of
their- disgrace by suicide. But
only two or three have resorted to
that method of securing - oblivion,
during the whole war. General
Abel Douay killed himself after the
battle of Weissenbourg, and Bour
baki has tried it, but with doubtful
success. It is a cood sign of re
turning reason, for all nations, ex
cept perhaps the French, learned
some time ago to consider such
melodramatic performances as evi
dences of extreme weakness. The
courago that impels a man or wo
man to commit suicide, is no cour
age at all.
Libel Suits and the Press.
The New York Tribune makes
the following sensible remarks on
thersubject of libel:
We heartily hope to see the
whole attitude of4the respectable
press towards libel suits and the
laws against libel changed. Speak
ing not merely for the Tribune,
but, as we believe, for all the
more considerate journals, we hope
to see the day when every clear
case of malicious libel may be
easuy and remorselessly proseca-
tea to conviction ana severe pun
ishment. The influence and con
sideration of the press in New
York would to day be immeasur
ably greater if within the last year
a score of unmistakable and mali
cious libels, out of the hundreds
which have been printed, hed been
prosecuted, punished in damages
of from ten to one hundred thous
and dollars each, and these dama
ges inexorably collected, even at
the risk of stopping the papers.
We want no immunity for printing
libels, and we would be glad 'to
see driven out of existence every
journal that does want it. We are
all liable to errors, and may un
wittingly publish the grossest
slanders on the best of men. We
try to avoid this, and whenever we
can see that we have done injust
ice we arc glad to make the
promptest correction. Whoever,
after that, would prosecute lb.
libel, is a fool for his pains; who
ever, being refused that, prosecutes
for libel, ought to succeed; and
ought to have the heartiest en
couragement from all that part of
the press which respects Heel f and
deserves the respect of the public.

Railroad Massacre!
New Tom, Feb. 7. The following partio.
ulart with regard to the terrible accident on
the Hudson River railroad, hare been obtain
ed from eye witness."
The freight train which caused the accident
consisted of about twenty-fire cars, most of
which carried tanks filled with oil. Before
leavii g Albany, every car was carefully in
spected by workmen, and no defect was dis
coTered. When the train reached the wood
en bridge over Wapenger creek, at New Dam- '
burg, about eight miles below Poughkeepse,
a sadden shock passed through the entire
train, almost throw in j it from (he track.
Upon examination it was fcund that the axle
of the tenth car bad broken. The car had
then broken loore from its couplings, careen
ed on one aide, struck against the framework
of the bridge, snd lay a total wreck upon the
track.
Almost at the same moment and lefoie a
signal or a note o I warning ctuld be raised
the express train which had left this city at
8 o'clock came rushing along at the rate of "
thirty miles an hour. The engine struck the
wrecked car with terrible force, setting fire
to the oil, scattering the inflammable materi
al and burning fragments in all directions.
The force of the collision instantly threw the
engine over the bridge into the "creek. The
ice was rery thick at the time, but was unable
to bear the weight of the locomotire, which .
broke through and tank. The tender of the i
engine also fell into the creek.
Immediately behind the engine were two '
baggage cars, which were followed by a sleep- j
ing car full of passengers. . j
The flames from the oil tank set fire to !
these care, which, after striking the wreck, J
lell over into the creek a burning mass. It is I
said that some of the passengers in the barn- :
inff cars Succeeded in leaninir frnm fho ciri. '
time to save themselves from death, but the
rest were carried with the ear over the bridge
and either drowned or burned to death.

Who Goes There !
Mr Editor : The lato feals of
the potent trio are quite edifying
in the way of lofty, argumentative
tumbling. The troupe have secur
ed a valuable addition in the per
son of the renowned Mr. Jefferson.
Indeed, the situation is becoming !
quite critical. The tariff discus-!
sion has got to be very salty fishy, .
we came near saying. Yolo seems
to have given Nolo such a dose of
salt as to completely put him
(Nolo) hort du combat. The On- '
ondaga Company, also, is in dan
ger of being 'put down and with
its own salt, too. The Company '
will have to send a barrel of the
commodity to Volo by way of a
silencer. When it comes it will be
marked 'Sunday School Books.'
But the victory isn't yet won.
Jefferson, 'courageously rushing to
the rescue,' rears the fallen banner,
names Tork's Island salt, and, in ,
the lanenace of Cant. Bunsbv.
asks : 'Whereby, why not ? I f so,
what odds?' Jefferson evidently
tbin&s we are in a bad fix because
we don't make all of our own salt.
Haven' t we got the Atlantic ocean
on one side of us, and the Pacific
on the other side ? And haven't
we got Great Salt Lake, too ? Let's
bottle up a little sunlight for fear
the sun may get extinguished !

THE OLD TEAR AND THE NEW.
BY BOCEAFELLOW.
'Tis midnight cow, twelve strokes the secret
tell
A chili of time has fallen from his throne;
A tuedtoti bells peal forth the doleful knell.
And yet how few his actual fate bemoan.
Thon 'it gone Old Year thy pago at last is
sealed
For good or ill, thy record has boen made;
Thou hast to some, a precious hope revealed;
f ur otners, spread oblivions welcome shade.
Farewell Old Year! badstthou been kind to
me,
Mt muse would land thee in a louder strain; .
Aad yet, me tliiEks the fault lies not with
thee,
But lies with fate therefore I'll not com-
plain.
But now larewell 1 we turn from thee to greet '
A beauteous child, whose life is but begun; 1
Whose laughing eyes and flying curls and .
feet,
Proclaim thy younger brotbcr.Seve-ty-one. j
Hail happy day, that ushers in the year I f
Thou nursling in the lap ot of Mother Time I ;
My muse cries hail, and could I drop a tear i
I'd consecrate with it this Jeeble rbyme.
Whilst others laugh, and greet thee with a
song,
Of sweetest joys, in store for future years,
Be it my lot to mingle with the throng,
And though the strain be sad, my voice I'll
raise.
With thy beginning, thousands will begin,
And with new enerjrv pursue their gods;
Some will commence a course of vice and sin,
And some, perhaps, will feel chastising
rods.
This day new friendships will be formed; and
love
Love will be felt by bearta that ne'er were
thrilled;
And kindred ties which time alone can
prove
broken by the
filled.

A FEARFUL RIDE.
Four Hundred Feet on n Cotvcatcher
Hanging by Thread-It emarkable
Ecapc. i
Frank Trask, a fireman running
on the uight freight train from this
city to Providence, had a most
rcmaikable escape from death on
Saturday night last. As the train
wus going on the down grade east
from the summit of Bolton Moun
tain, he went to the forward part
of tho engine to oil the piston
The oil is distributed better when
the train is going the fastest, and
he took this part of the road, vt here
the M ain gets its highest speed, to
attend to it. By some sudden
motion r.f the locomotive . he lost
his hold, and was thrown forward
on to the cowcatcher, but, instead
of rolling off and being dashed to
pieces, as be expected, the pilot
caught him by a few threads in the
Cardigan jacked he had on, so that
he was held first with his feet drag
ging upon the ground dashing
along in that perilous situation from
fifteen to twenty miles an hour
lie dia not lose nis consciousness
nor his presence of mind, but
nerved himself to
chance for his life,
effort he succeeded
take the best
Oy a desperate
in keeping his
head raised so thai
it escaped the
groundthough he was hanging
close down, and the least depress
ion would dash him to pieces. The
engineer, in the meantime, had not
discovered the frightful position of
his assistant till, thinking 1hat he
was gone longer than usual, he
looked forward and there saw his
shadow, by the light of the moon
running a phantom race with the
iron horse. In an instant he whistl
ed down brakes, and the speed be
gan to slack; but in the sudden
checking of the train, the tender
threads of Trask's jacket broke
and he was hurled to the ground
pitching over and over; and yet he
retained bis self-possession, and
when his associates arrived by his
side he was as clearheaded as ever
; Ho had noticed the alarm for down
breaks, and felt that his position
was discovered. He was taken to
Willimantie, and brought back to
this city by the western train, which
reached here at half-past 4 o'clock
Sunday morning, and carried - to
the residence of his father, No. 39
Walnut street, where Dr. Slorrs
was called to attend htm. There
were several cuts and contusions
on his legs and the lower part of
his body, but no fractures, nor
anything of a particularly danger
ous nature. Two or three months
ago he was on the same train, com-'
ing from Providence, when the
locomotive ran into a turn-table
at Willimantie, and then had his
arm broken, which has not entirely
healed. He says if he had had tho
use of both arms be could have
extricated himself. From thb
Harteord Courant, January 2.J
The Evils of Gaming. Much
has been said and written of that
terrible passion, which, when once
it has coiled itself about the heart
of man, brings more misery than
all other evils combined; which
once taken on is seldom taken off
and which never leaves the soul
until it has blackened it and seared
it untie the moth of hope would find
itself itreightened in the pangs of
starvation 6hould it attempt to bat
ten upon it. This by way of a
starter. Here is a sad and plain
tive story, which is from the lips
of a professional gambler:
A few mornings ago our inform
ant, who has gazed upon the dark
side of life until a rainbow, set in
beauty in the sky, would have no
mere merit in . his eyes than the
feed-box of a Cone: toga wagon, left
his gambling house, and started
home. The snow was slowlj' eddy
ing down, filling the uneven streets,
and spreading a white rantle of
charity over the naked deformities
of the town. A few squares from
bis establishment, and in the
neighborhood of another "gilded
palace" sacred to the usages of
King Faro, he saw a well-known
frequenter of faro-bank, standing
under a flickering gas lamp. He
held in hi9 hand a printed "tab,"
such as sinful men ire wont to
record the order of a faro deal, and
the wretched nan was scanning it
with a devotion of a churchman at
his rosary. He had been edgaged
in that occuprtion for some time,
for the snow had drifted about his
feet, and was fast obliterating the
sable color of Lis boots. He was
studying the last play in the pale
light of the lamp, and, shivering
with cold and chill with the dead
currents of excitemert within him,
he mutUri'd in anguish to him
self: "One hour ago I could have
slept in the best bed in the House,
now who knows where I'll sleep?
Why didn't I play to 'break even'
on the last deal? Dead broke,
dead boke!"
Dead broken, your Majesty.
Dead broke, my members of Coun
cil and Board of Aldermen. Dead
broke, Right Reverends and Wrong
Reverends of every order. Dead
broke, men born with Heavenly
compassion in your hearts. And
Dressing dead tuus around us
every day.

Twenty years of constant practice in some of the most prominent
Hospitals and Infirmaries of Europe and this country, enables Dr. B.
to at once diagnose diseases correetly, and can inform the patient at
once the true nature of his or her disease. Having made Uterine Dis
eases a specialty he invites those
call and examine his new method of
ands that have been abandoned as
DISEASES OF THE
Of all diseases that flesh is heir to, none
are so certain to produce death as those of
tbe Heart and Lungs. Persons suffering
from diseases of the Heart are liable to drop'
down deadot any moment, unaware of any
more tbaa usual difficulty of breathing, or
fatigue. How often do we hear of some
friend or acquaintance dying while sitting at
bis or ber meal, or found dead in bed; and
still more frequently do we hear that such a
one bad only slight fluttering at tbe heart;
others drop dead while performing some light
labor, or with the least excitement; while the
invalid suffering from diseases of the Lungs,
is slowly but surely dying by inches, without
some jtsdicious treatment to aid nature to
throw off diseases from the Lungs. To easily
cure the above diseases, first requires im
mediate attention to every symptom that may
present itself, -at the different stages ot the
disease; and the treatment should be in ac
coidance with each symptom. Thousands
Buffer untolt) misery from resorting to un
qualified pretenders of the age, who profess
to understand the treatment of diseases of
the Heart and Lnngs, bnt wbo in reality know
but little of the diseases, except a slight
knowledge that they hare acquired by read
ing the suggestions of some conceited author,
whose experience in too many instances has
been but meagre at best; many of whom have
perhaps never disected tbe Heart or Lungs
after death. ' In order to be a successful
Etactiticner in the treatment of Heart and
ung diseases, requires a constant, extensive
practice, to enable tbe person to make a cor
rect diagnosis of the disease. This done, he
must be well posted in its treatment, since
this can only be accomplished by treating
many thousand similar cases Thousands of
lives are annually sacrificed by the employ
ment of unskilled physicians, in the treat
ment of diseases of the Heart and Lungs.
Bow often do we see and hear of persons
almost gone with Consumption in fact, giv
en up, by perhaps, a dozen doctors; who, ul
timately, by placing themselves under the
treatment of some eminent physician, be
come healthy and sound, or at all events, as
much so as the nature of their disease could
possibly admit of. Instances of this kind
are familiar to thousands. A consumptive
man of means who thinks more of bis health
than he does of his money, seldem loses an
opportunity of consulting a physician who
has attained a high reputation in the treat
ment of that particular class of diseases in
which he is most interested. Hence it is
few of tbis class, comparitively speaking, die
for want judicious treatment; at least Itheir
life is prolonged in their cases for many
years. While on tbe other hand a man of
narrow contracted mind who is conceited
withal, thinks that bis family or home phy
sician, of a particular creed, is fully capable
to perform the desired results. Thus he pla
ces himself under the care of an experiment
er, losing time and health, until finally too
late for any human aid; continuing to sink
under tbe treatment of cod-liver oil and
stimulants, till at last be shufles off this mar
tal coil And for what? Just for want of
manly independence; a fiee heart; a free
purse; and a judicious course of treatment
from a physician of experience in treating
many thousand similar cases to his own.
Dr. BORT would here remark that hit
treatment in diseases of the Throat, Lungs,
Heart, Catarrh, Deafness and Female Dis
eases is entirely different from any other per
son in this country.

Healing Power of Eclecticism. At
Demonstrated on over Twelve' Tkou$amd Invalid;
by Dr. Bort, of If. V. There is a healing
power among us; a physirion who baa cured
thousands in tbis city, after .all other sys
tems have been exhausted; a physician who
is curing, and further pledging . himself to
cure, nearly all cases have ba filed the skill of
hundreds of medical men in all past ages and
even bids defiance to all modern practice;
and lastly there is a physician wbo can pro
duce thousands of certificates from some of
the most reliable individuals in the city, as
well as elsewhere, wbo have been positively
and permanently cured after all other treat
ment after the most eminent medical men
had failed 1 Yes, verily, and that physician
is Dr. Bort, whose infirmary is located on
the corner of Third A Vine sts., St. Louis.
Dr. Bort. we verily believe, has cured more
chronic cases in the past luur months, in St.
Louis than all the medical men who bave ev
er practiced their professions here for those
diseases. He makes as specialities, via: Dis
eases of the Eye, Ear, Lungs, Throat and Ca
tarrb . Tbis assertion may look like boasting,
but nevertheless, it is true; and if y u doubt
it, consult a few of tbe persons whose cer
tificates in full synopsis are to be found in
