dying girl I ly, was as soft as the
coverii...; ofa dying queen.
She was a fair child, with masses
of long black hair lying over her
pillow. Her eye was dark an.? piercing, and, as it met mine, she si arte:!
slightly, but foiled, and looked upward. I spoke a few word-; to her
falher, and, turning to iv r, asked
liar if she knew her condition.
" I know that my Redeemer liv-
et?i," said sh ■, in a voice whose malady was like tlie sweetest toner oi
an M lian. You may imagine that
the answer startled me, and with a
few words of like import I turned
from her. A half hour passed, and
she spoke in the same deep, rich
melodious voice.
" Falher, I nan cold ; lie' down beside ine," and the old man lay down
by'his dying child, and she twined
her emaciated arms around his neck,
and murmured in a dreamy voice,
"'Dear father! dear father!"
-'■' iiy child," said the old man,
"doth the flood seem deep to thee!"
"Nay,  father,  for  my   soul   is

" Doth she speak to thee?''

of Worn,   '-wi^jo aot  much  bolter

respects they were inferior to us ;
bur there was an unction about their
ministry,  and   success    attend mt

of the difference ?     They   PRATED
more than we do. If we would prevail and   "have Bower with men,"
we inu-'t  fir t   prevail  and  " have
power with God."    It  was   on   hi;-
kneSs that Jacob became a prove ;
and if we   wou'd  become  princes,
we must be ol'tener and  mora importunate upon our  knees."     Mr.
Williams was very fond of relating
the following  anecdote respecting
the late •'. Griffith^ of Ca-ernaivou :
Mr.   Griffith   was  to  preach   one
night in a farm-house, and he   cleared lo retire to  a  private   room
before the service began.     Tie re-

As there was no sign ofthe preacher making his appearance, the good

On apvroaching ths door, she heard

door,   and  heard  one  say to the
other, liIwiil not go unless thou

to her.master, and paid,  '' There is

PANAMA RAILROAD ACCiEENT.
Mr. W-aphiotOO Wrigbt, a pas-'ionpor hy tlio
Golden Age, publiftlies a tang mial pat (Icular account of this terrible accident in the Alta  Cali
Jomia, from which wc lulce the following extract,
concerning the
CAUSE OF TUB ACCIDLXT.
The cause of the accident is easy of explanation
Its primary origin belongs to the running off at
Obispo Bridge of tlie locomotive attached tothe
Mail train, making it necessary to unite tha? two
passenger trains behind one engine, giving it a
burden so heavy and unwieldy as to be scarcely
manageable on the grades and curves. Tbe locomotive ofthe mail train ffaa In charge of an engineer, named Williams, whom the superintendent,
Mr. Center, found to be incapable of reinstating
his machine. Tho superintendent learning that
tbere were two engineers among the passengers
whose names are Abraham Jones, of Ponglikeepsie.
N. Y., anal John Halpin, ot the Cleveland, Columbus and Cincinnati railroad—he persuaded them
to take charge of putting the engine on the track ;
this they soon skilfully accomplished. The length
and weight ofthe returning passenger train compelled the engineer to run rapidly over level places to obtain a momentum sufficient (o make ihe
summit of ascending grades and long curves,
which constitute tlie greatest peculiarity of the
entire road. The loose nature of the soil, the decaying effect it readily has upou the wooden material used ia the construction ot tbe road and its
constant absorption of moisture, endanger every
train unless run at a very moderate speed; and
the danger is increased by the fact that where the
ties begin to soften with rot, destructive insecis
lend fli"ii* aid in weakening and consuming the
durability ofthe road. Combined, these everlasting agents have destroyed the -hdliesiveness of thi
tie spikes, con^rquenlly (lie rails are neither per.
maneut nor capable ofany considerable straiu or
jar; hence, when the long train had attained a
velocity of 28 miles an hour—which was the case
at the time ofthe aecident-^tbe ties refused to hold
the rail spread apart, the forward trucks of tbe
second car sun]; into the slight embankment and
the dire event of the day was the result. Notwithstanding these indisputable proof that the
Panama railroad—perhaps unavoidable to a par
tial degree—is an imperfect thoroughfare.as perilous as it was difficult to construct, it lacks proper
care in keeping it in repairs aud caution tn the
management of trains always loaded too full of
pe>iile. Tbere was a palpable fault, an unpardonable wrong in allowing the unfortunate train
of the 6th to be run at the speed it was. No excuse can be oflered in the least calculated to pa-
liate the wrong commuted ir remove the opinion
that tbe horrible slaughter was accompanied by a
recklessness demanding prompt and unanimous
public condemnation.
INCOHSN'Tfl'
A series of accidents attended the departure
from \spinwali. First, the boatswain of lbe &eo*ga
Law fell from the cars as they were moving out
from the town and waa much bruised ; next followed the failure ofthe mail train to pass Obispo
Bridge • an engine near Matchin broke a "rook
shaft," then came the huge simaeh up, succeeded
by the disabling of another locomotive in switch,
ing to a sidetrack.
Everything tended to make the situation of the
uninjured passengers peculiarly unpleasant. It
had rainedjust previous to the accident, and as
darknesf! approached thick clouds hung over the
spot dripping a chilly and penetrating mist, the
heated earth sent up a stench putrid with the vapors ofa malarias surface, and the insect host of
the marsh set the woods to echoing with tbair
varied and discordant biuzing and croaking, while
the groaning of the maimed and the sigh ine: and
sobbing of those who had lost relatives mingled
with the cries of young children whose dead mothers lay gathering upon their distorted lips the
cold dampness of night, established and maintained a mournfulness too complete fbr any to withstand its influence. No food, no lights, and universal exhaustion enhanced the gloom prevailing,
and each shivering tenant of the crowded cars
deemed himself in the most pitiable condition.
The appearance of tho crowded cars immediately after tho catastrophe was wonderful and shocking. Deep pools of coagulating blood had formed on the larger pieces of the roofing and panel
work, and from the smaller ones the yet warm
gore was dropping into the waters of tbe ditches.
The force of the crash was tremendous, and the
space occupied by the fragments did not appear-
large enough to receive, at the same height, the
ruins of more than one or two cars. When the
trucks hit the ties the whole nine carsshut togeth
like so many light boxes compressed into each
other, with such startling violence that they were
shivered to atoms.
Scattered all about the wreck were reeking bodies, some cut and torn asunder at the middle ;
some driven into shapes tbat, in any other place,
could not have been identified as belonging to
mortality ; some twisted as though they were
msey cloths, and others piled one upon another,
■.'■'.,
blood of tbe carnage, [fader 0f» heavy piece of
a car, lay a  woman folding in   her stiff and  utuii
gled ansa her breatbtara child; under another sat
an old in.'.n, upheld lay a splinter pussing through
him, his protruding eyr-balls apparently gazing
in mute horror at the :iw!\;l scene. Near one of
Ihe lo.-^ed rails was a Iiumatn bead nevered qIwD
from kinship with the body j a   little   way on the
entire facial part of another hung to the end of a
broken tie. andjust beyond the upper portion ofa
skull, holding the brain ol it* possessor, clung by
the hair to the edge of a ditch, lint, worst of nil,
a woman advanced in pregnancy was killed in ft
manner whieh exposed throvigh ber wounds Iho
unborn child !
Yet in presence of all this there were those
who hastened to rob the dead. Several ot (lie passengers  were   seen to   cut   oil' money   bi-lls   and
search the pooketi of the killed and helplessly
wounded. Some tiuis nfled had large uhos ta
gold, besides watabee, rei olvera ud jewels aboul
them.   While conveying the Injured to town, an
add Gtorman, Buffering from ft broken thigh, cut,
with a pocket knife, a main artery and bled to
death ; preferring to die in tbis way to remaining
in the hospital. In searching for the dead around
the wreck the foot of a colored man was observed
projecting above the ground, his entire body stink
en from view. An effort was made to pull it
forth, but In the attempt the leg was torn away.—
Tli is circumstance causes the writer, who was an
eye-witness, to believe that more of the killed still
lie imbedded in the soft sand in the vicinity Of
the spot where the accident happened. A young
infant whose mother ,Mrs. Crowan, was killed,
and whose father is supposed to reside in San
franoisQO, was found in the ruins unharmed, and
given to the women in the remaining cars. They,
considering it a burden, passed it from one to
another, but finally it disappeared, and was not
heard of unlil morning, wdien it was picked up on
tbe sea shore in rout, of the town by a French
merchant, and placed in care of his wife, who now
has it. Six other children, all young, wen left
orphans, and came on the Golden Age, dependent
on the charities of San Francisco.
The dead were buried on tbe morning of tlie
7th, without shroud, or coffin, or funeral service
in pits dug near the road, under shadow of Monkey Hill, the rude cemetery where six thousand
victims o! Panama disease were placed while the
rood was being built. A train was run out from
Aspinwall with ail the passengers tbat had gone
to town. At the burial pits a few went to see the
blackening bodies thrown into the earth. A brief
gaze sufficed: and then the train started for the
coatat of tbe Pacific.
Tbe exact number losing their fives by this
fearful calamity will never be known. That fate
of many uow mouldering by the dreary roadside,
can only be surmised by friends in failing, after a
long while, io receive tidings promised at Ihe last
parting. So far as cvury circumstance wouhl admit of a close and laborious inquiry, and from
the mi st plausible basis, there appears to be little
doubt that the number killed, including those who
were too badly Injured to long survive, ia nearly
one hundred.'

Besides these, there were several known to have
been killed, whose names could not be ascerlnineal.
among whom were six Germans, comprising e
company immigrating from New York, aud three
others from the same State ; also seven mores
from various localities, and sixteen brcakmen
and others, employees on the road, natives of
Jamaica and the Isthmus. In enumerating tha'
passengers killed, whose names are unknown, no
reliance has been placed in rumor, but the Information respecting tbeir fate has been procured
direct from the ones wbo had merely a passage
acquaint'ince with them, and know of their death.
A number of others might be reported as missing,
yet there can be no positive evidence that such
wero killed, though it is certain that several re
mained at Aspinwall to attend tlieir woumled
friends.
In addition to tho above, there were fifty-eight
left at the hospital and the residences of A spin
wall. All thus detained were badly hurt, requiring in many cases amputation of the arms and
legs, some of the Sufferers having both arnfs broken, and their legs severely braised ; others were
frightfully injured about the head and along the
spinal column, and some sustained such internal
harm as to leave small hopes of tbeir recovery.

iii;u tbe ioonmeQl was reads for signature. To-
flttj ui i n'td.nd.. the members ol the oonfcrence,
in grand costume, repaired to Ibe Council Chamber and signed the doer in.mt. At 2 o'etoek 1U1

of the L8 facts nhlob anrrouad Paris,
Tbe treat; was drawn up bj a committee of one
repri tentative or ea-ah Government, torn instrnc-

pori al iin' eommliiee was atla pted unanimously
iii the 8 ttfog of Saturday. Seven eoples ofthli
treaty were prepared am parohment, nnder the di-
reotlonof M. PeuHlet, ihebead ol tb* Protocol
Department  of  UM   Ministry   of Foreign Allairsr
one for each Government
In signing, tbe P enipotentfarfes first examined
carefully that eaeh copy of Ihe treaty caarrespond-
ed< Cnuni tValewski, ■-•■•■- President of tbeCamfer-
eni'i., signed Bach of ihe seven eoples first; then
iii?. representatives ad each Government signed
Brstinturn, bo that the copy destined fbr eaoh
government will   bear lirst  a'f'ler  tho si^mdnra? of
the President tbe signatures ol Its own n preaenta*
lives. After the President and tbo two represen-
latives ol the government tc which Ihe copy belonged, the rest rtgm d in alphabetical order. In
this manner all questions ol j, nlousy in regard to
pn Qedeood waa Avoided, The signing occupied an
hour and a half, which is not curious, in view of
the foot that tbt re were three hundred and eighly
eight flourishes to make. There WOTO seven copies
ot the treaty and four tea n names tQ Ik? signed to
each, making iu all ninety (tight names. The
name of any individual in France holaling a higher
position than that oi domestic, signed ni thou tons
oi1 two characteristic flourishes, would DO almost
without moral   force.
The traaty was signed with n quill prepared for
the aiccasion. ThePienlpotentiarfaea intended each
to preserve the qnill with which In' Btgned bis
name aud made his flourishes, lint the Fmpress
having expressed a desire lo preserve the quill
with which the treaty was signed, the Plenipotentiaries acceded tO her wish, and a pen WOJ accordingly prepared for that purpose. An eagle's quill
was selected, whlcfa was elegantly mounti'd in
gold. Why this be lieose emblt-m was chosen
instead Ofa goose quill, does not appear.
The visit rendered ny the Plenipotentiaries to
the Emperor Immediately after tiie signlcs of tho
treaty, was to give and to receive felicitations.
Theii- tabor, b waver, la far from being concluded.
Couriers started this evening for Constantinople,
St. Petershnrgb, Berlin, Vienna, Turld and London, eaoh bearing a copy of the treaty for tho
ratification of the monarch ol each ccamtiy. But
during the period of* lour weeks which will elapse
before the treaty can be rai Hied returned to Peril
and given lo the world, a series of minor paainta
are to be considered and fiaed by lbe conference.
These  subsidiary   points  can   be   litSCUBSfld   even
after ths ratification of ilie general treaty. For
Instance, n the protocol ol Vienna (the Ezterhazy
propositions! the Plenipotentiaries said : " The
Hew frontier [of liessarahin] will start from the
enyirona el Chotym, -omi will follow tl"? line ot
mountains which extends to tbe southeast." A
suhseqneiil exnmlna ism shows that thereare nothing but plains when? mono tains were snppOSa '1 io
bave been seen.    Again, tiie Daouhiata Princi-
palitiea   were promised   an organization   in   con-
formlty tQ their wishes: hal these wishes are yet
to be ascertained, and l Imagine that they will
ascertain them rather slowly ji'they continue to
DttOp tbe eoiirivrs who beat petitions.      Again, the
navigation of the Danube, tbe rights ol those who
live upon Its borders, the keeping of ths? mouths
of ibe river, suppose unmet ens regulations which
have need of being prepared with time Wid eare
by special persons. Toeae are a few of tbe most
important details which the Conference will yet
hare ta> consider and fix, and they can as well be
done after the itgnlng of ihe treaty as before.
