"&'?&&$ M - C1) , ' ilu JJiiila iASvarcintu ASTORIA. OREGON: FRIDAY JULY 21), 1881 B.C. IRELAND. Editor. Condition of the .President. Again the Presidents condition shows decided improvement- The alarm of the past two or three days, based on apprehensions otj most serious consequences from his relapse, appears to have sub sided, or at least to have given way to the impression that there is no immediate danger. Every one must see, however, that the Presidents condition is .till a most critical one. The Mexican Horror. Details of the Morelos railway casualty in Mexico are at hand in correspondence. A gentleman who escaped from the wreck of the first car said to the correspendent: Dantes description of hell conveys but a faint idea of the horrors I wit nessed. The thunder-peals seemed to me like the voice of an inexor able fate. The fortunes of that doomed mass of human beings were made so distinct, first by the flames of the alcohol, and afterwards bv "the flashes of lightning, that my soul sick ened. I managed to clamber up the sides of the ravine, and could only pray: "Christ pity them;" then I fainted. Xo guard had been stationed at the bridge, nor even had a lamp been placed there; the heavy freshet had brought down the debris which had pressed against the two piers and carried them off; the headlight of the engine shone only upon the rails; which remained, and the engineer being unable to see that these steel threads were un supported, the train instantly plunged into the abyss, pre cipitating its human freight into the foaming water. The ravine being narrow, the cars were piled on each other, crushing and mashing all. Then the eighty bar rels of alcohol rolled out, many breaking open as they fell; next the lime poured over the victims, and finally came an additional hor ror. As the rear engine was dragged into the ravine its live coals fired the alcohol, and in a few seconds this agonizing mass of humanity was enveloped in flames. Imagine their sufferings, in a dreary place, far from an' human habitation, and as the storm lud prostrated the telegraph wires there were no means of communi cation with city or town; therefore the victims remained several hours without aid. A Texas man who has been traveling a great deal over the country furnishes lite best defini tion we have heard yet of the average railroad eating-house. He says it is a place where the train stops long enough for a pious looking man, who has been a colonel, to collect a dollar from each passenger for taking away his appetite. That is a true bill. "AVe should say so." The Brit ish press, irrespective of politics, and individual papers agree in ex pressing the belief that England can rely on the good faith of America in endeavoring to pre vent renewal of overt attempts of conspirators against the British government. No doubts about that. Give us a hold of your hand, Mr. Bull. The report that Carl Schurz writes editorials with one hand while playing a fugue from some old composer on the piano with the other is the "weak invention of an envious rival. And equally untrue is the report that he sets all his editorials to .music before having them set in type, for the purpose of making them tony, All great men are lied about. "We have been lied about ourself. The matter of the vacancy in the supreme bench caused byhe death of Justice Clifford, causes much discussion. Devens and Chief Justice Gray of Massachu setts, are candidates, and every New England state will havo one or more candidates, and it is as sumed that the judge will be ap pointed from there. The talk of appointing Cockling is regarded as absurd, and liia friends say that he would'nt have it. Sbme prom inent republicans hold that a dem ocrat should be appointed, and tkisk GarJUld will appoint one. Pnblishcrs Xoticc. THH V r.EKIA ASTORIA N.
