It may be a blight and a misfortune upon a man to be too juvenile to be hirsute, but the moral of this thing is that you must not take your barefacedness too much to heart, nor brood over it too solemnly. Cukiiie, the "hell-roaring Texas desperado," announces his purpose of coming to St. Louis to interview the crime editor of a morning contemporary. There will doubtless be an application for an immediate leave of absence. passengers were injured.

The cause of the accident is supposed to oe a broken rail, caused by the engine of some train. An extra tiain was made up and the passengers forwarded in three hours. The injured were taken to Fort Wayne, Ind. and are being cared for by the company. This is the first accident on the road In which passengers have been injured since June, 1872.

Among the fatally wounded are Walter il. Rivers ot Indianapolis, private seoretary of Hon. W. II. English.

and JohnS. Gunnof West-field, and Seward Hurst of Piru and A. Mullen of Athens are eeriously wounded, and a still larger number slightly. The accident, it is supposed, was caused by a broken rail. horns are being carried incredible distances by eccentric whirlwinds, and a dumb woman in Ohio has been enabled to speak through prayer.

The name of this last wonder is Mrs. Greenzwit aaid she lives at WUHainsport, and has not been able to articulate a word for many years. She agreed with a neighbor to resort to special prayer. The twain prayed that the dumb woman might speak on the morning of the Fourth of July, and sure enough when Independence day dawned Mrs. Greenzwit began to talk and has been talking ever since.

This supernatural interposition of Providence has provoked the greatest astonishment and Mrs. Greenzwit has grown into as remarkable a prodigy as the two-headed girl or the fat baby. The only danger is the lady may endeavor to make up for lost time, in which event we have no doubt there will be many good people who will be iucliued to doubt the practical benefit to be derived from special prayer. nt could not be President or the country, but it is authoritatively announced that he is to be tendered and will accept the Presidency of the Provisional Society of the Nicaraguan Canal Company.

Donohue was fifty vears of age, and a native of Ireland, she was very poor, and had to use for fuel such coal as sh found on the tracks occupied by coal flats.

It Is a fact that while outwardly preserving the appearance of antagonism to each other, Gambetta and Jerome have long been, in secret, on very friendly terms, and they have often met each other In the boudoir of a noted titled lady who is a pert-onal friend and confidant of each of these men, and who Is also on very intimate and friendly relations with Bradlaugh. It is whispered about that this lady, whose skill in political management is not to be despised, is ambitious to bring about a complete alliance between the Prince, Bradlaugh aud Gambetta.

Our esteemed contemporary, the thinks Col. Crittenden "will go into the convention at Jefferson Wednesday with almost enough voles to nominate him for Governor." This is a mistake. There rs no "almost" about it. Col. Crittenden will have much more than an absolute majority over all the other candidates combined if the names of other candidates are presented at all.

When, last Friday, we gave our detailed statement of the counties that up to that time had. already elected 170 Crit-teiiden delegates, our esteemed contemporary, the Time, whistled very lively, aid that we were joking, and as a proof of it published two telegram showing that Jasper and Green counties had not insfno ted for Crittenden. But we never said a word about instructions. Wc simply said those counties were com'td by Col. Crittenden's friends, acd to-day it is conceded that Col.

Crittenden will receive every voir tiinl (irf en We said a week ago Col. Critteudon Mould have ot least forty out of the forty-seven votes of this city. The Tim's said we were joking. How does the tally stand? It is conceded that Col. Crittenden has of the 17 city delegates, or three more than we claimed for him, with a contest about one of the four antd-Crittenden votes.

We said last Fridaj-: On the other hand, of the counties that hive not yet chosen delecates Col. Crittenden's friends have the very best reasons and assurances to rely upon the following: Andrew (S). Dallas (1), Davles (4), Knox (3), Livingstone (4). Macon ((), Mercer Moniteau (o), Morgan (2), and half of Pike, Cole and Shelby. Of the fifty-three delegates selected by St.

Louis (city and county) ot least forty will be for Col. Crittenden. The columns of our esteemed morning contemporaries will show that nearly every one these counties went as we predicted. Saturday added he counties of Moniteau, Grundy, Caldwell, Davies, Andrew, Green, Jasper, Macon and Livingstone to the Crittenden column. Pike elects to-day and may possibly divide her delegation, and Cole split in a contest.

Our detailed statement last week showed that Col. Crittenden had 170 votes without St. Louis or tiie counties named above. With the forty-three city delegates, the one delegate from St. Louis county and the counties that acted last Saturday Col.

Crittenden will have nearly a tiro-thirds of the convention ayainst the com-hined opposition. It requires just -'07 votes to nominate. Now, maik whether Col. Crittenden does not get at least 1'50 on the first ballot. It is more than possible that there will be no ballot at all, but that the other candidates will withdraw in the last hour, gracefully yield to the inevitable, and allow Col.

Fortunately we find one of our old and highly esteemed citizens a candidate before the coming convention for nomination to this important office in the person of J. L. Buskett.

whose long residence and well-known integrity and business capacity have gained the confidence of all who know him. St. Louis has the right to demand this cfiiee, as the other Commissioners are from the State, and names J. L. Buskett as the choice of her merchants and business men senerally.

Ti the Editor of the Post-Dispatch: You have, doubtless, observed that Dr. Tar-ner, the fasting man. has a passion for flowers, and that in one way or another he is bountifully supplied with bouquets. From published reports, it would appear that these bouquets are examined to see that they conceal no food.

But is any attention paid these flowers after their examination? It should not be forgotten that many flowers (roses especially) are pleasant to the taste, and highly nutritious. No one can doubt that a man of determination, bent on astonishing his race, and placing himself on record as a phenomenon, would find nutriment enough in a liberal allowance of flowers to sustain life for forty days.
