The death of no private cillwn in recent years bus canned profoundcr grief than thut of Henry W. (irady, the gifted editor of the Atlanta Coimti tution. He stood in the very first rank ,nf JournallBnt, and was loved and hon ored not only by the people of the suction of country where he lived, but throughout the republic. He seemed to be entering on r brilliant futuro.and was growing in favor and acquiring wider influence as a leader. Ay his generous inant'uess mid irrcsistibleclo-quein-c.he won the admiration of those even who did nol accept his political views, Chauncy M. Depew paid him this tribute: "Wc f irget all difiVreDoes of opinion and remember only his chivalry, patriotism and genius, lie wits the leader of the New 8ont.h, and died iu the great work of impressing its marvelous growth and national as pirations upon the willing ears of the Xorth.

During the past week the managers of the Oregoniun Hallway company, mure commonly known as the Narrow Gauge road, have been Inspecting the line , and it Is generally believed they havo decided to make a standard gauge of the road and extending it to Bprliu tield, at which place It wilt intersect the ft. P. Oo.'s line and establish their machine shops. This move haseaused much stir and excitement all along the road. We hope It is true, for It will help this part of the country very much to have the road put in first-class onJer.

An unknown exchange pays this tribute to winter "It snows and blows and stings your nose makes all crea tion shiver! It bites vour toes, increas es your woes, and freezes up the river. The frvnt nips alI,both great and small, this dark and dreary winter; it freezes typo It bursts the pipe, and vexes sore the printer. So let her roll we mean the coal it takes the cash in winter; now please be kind and make up your mind to nettle with the printer." It Is a curious trait in poor human nature to envy those who occupo plac es of honor and responsibility. When ever a man, either by his own natlvu ! talents or by the tiartialitv of his friends, comes to the front cither as a leader of thought or as a captain of work lie is sure to excite the envy and jealousy of small men. They do not realize that their conduct more certain ly than their words reveals the little ness of their souls. It ought to be a con solation to every a an that is honestly doing his I est that he Is not to lc Judged or rewarded by his critics. Their carping may be annoying, but it cannot hurt an honest man. Kvcry man that ever did anything worthy of praisejhas liocn about hh much blamed for it by his co'emporaries as honored. It is never wortlt one's while to waste ! time fretting over the stings of gnats or j mosquitoes.. Just woik away and for get stabs and blows, and you will be none the Worse for them. James Whitcome Kilcy often says a great deal in a very few words. I n his peculiar vernacular he comforts honest workers witii these lines: I've alius noticed great sucpcss Is mixed with troubles, more or less, And it's the man who does the best That gits niore kieks than all the rest BAKOAIN.

In order to undeiKtmid how quick a man can die under the fom of electricity, lot us consider Hint how fast a man can think. Well, It takes just ono-tcn tit of a second for a nerve to comniuuicnto with the brain, no cording to Professor riemholz. Noiv Pro fessor Tyndnll estimates that an electric dis charge occurs in one hundred thousandth ol a second, or tea thousand times more rapidly than nerve transmission. So you see that if it were possible a man would dio by the process described ten thousand time before bis nerves would have time to communicate with his brain. Lust winter, for the purpose of ascertain ing the effect of the eloctrio light current on the action of the heart, the thorax of a chloroformed dog caught in Buffalo wot opened, so that the lungs and heart could be seen m action by forcing respiration as in eouscions Ufa At the instant wbeu t bo cur rent passed through the heart it became u mass of quivering flesh. It was noticed that ti attempt to breathe was made after tht current was passed through the dog. Thi indicated that the brain had not lost its suir eeptibility to impressions, and shows thut in execution the current should bo passed through the center. It should not be for gotten, however, that the dof wns froin buffalo. 1'be commission could have selected no touglier subject than a Buffalo dog. There fan be no question, however, that electricity is tho thin to do the business. HE LET HIMSELF DROP. A Veraclons Story of a Very Strange Ac cident. Here is a large and elegant story told in a Ixnvery, Blount county, Ala., dispatch to The Iiuntsvillo Mercury. You aro not obliged to believe it unless you want to: A (isrty of Birmingham capitalists, largely interested in tho minerals of tho region, ami somo prominent railroad officials were here on a tonr of inspection, wi'jh tho view of opening some bods of iron ore and selecting the most practicable routo for the extension of tho new railway that loads up this valk-y. This, indeed, seems to havo been the true battle grounds of the gods, with 'Pelion piled u)on Ossa," or tho utter confusion of tho geologists, who cauuot account for red iron ors iu ono sidoof a mountain and brown on ths other, with veins of coal immediately underlying the top on both sides, so it was determined to leave them out of tho parry and tarry alonj a practical man familiar with the formations peculiar to this valley for all geological information necessary in making an npprosimato estimate of tiw amount of solid and loose rock to be encoun tered on tho extension. Accordingly an old foreman, Mr. Mcrtz, who had been in the valley on tho now road sinco April, and had also had largo experience in railroading in the west, was selected. lie was an Intelli gent, sober and Industrious man, who rcu larly once a month sent tho preater part ol hi earnings to his wife and children in IIa: sas. He gave bis opinions only after the most careful examinations, and the gentl. men had implicit confidence as to their accu racy. Tho party reached a perpendicular blnfT about Ofteca foet high, whoa Mr. Lien: climtied down to a ledge about sis feet from the top. and with his hammer was iuvcs:i gating tho character of tho stones n:id i probable thickness. Tho gentlemen ubov. heard several blows froai bis hamrfirr, tLw apparently a quantity of loose rocks fallii:;:, and immediately a tcrriQi; explosion. Thei were all considerably shocked, but not other v4 ino hint, and at once- wont to tho eJgo ul the precipice, where they detected the strong odor of dynamite, but to their ooustcruutioii could seo nothing of Mr. Alertz. After n careful search some small pieces of liix cloth itig wcro found imaging in a troo uIrv.:! thirty feet froai tho ground, but that was ull The question for tho scientists to sell I, in, what caused tho explosion! A num ber of people from Birmingham havo visitnl the place, but 1 have heard only ono pluusibU theory, and thut was advanced by ilr H.-bultz, a scientist. It is known positively that Mr. Mcrtz had no dynnmits with him ami Mr. Schultzsays the only iossibla v:iv to accouat for tho explosion is that ho i::iu const.v.tly, for a eumlier of years, been handbag dynamite and nitro-glyeeriiie, uml that so iiim-h had been taken into bis sysU'ri, bv ubsorpiiou that it was only necessary lot hi in ro receivo u slight jar to set it olf, u liii-l. was done when bo struck the ground ou full iug from tho ledge. Whether bisstory is truoornot I can't say. but give tho facts as they happened, uu! they can bo substantiated by a immber tn dtius in this vicinity and Birmingham. Thought Uo Was In "Lunnon."
