A Foarinl Fall.We clip the following from the Daily News : “A colored laborer fell from thelop of a chimney he was assisting to ereci in Indianapolis. }le Jell a distance of 1 HO feet. He never breathed after striking the ground.What, business had he to stop breathing? Why didn't he keep on? There is no excuse for a man who plunges his family into the useless expense of burying him, merely because he emphatically declines to sniff the air.What in the world made him flounder around in the air, and strike out a distance of HK) feet, thus probably causing his poor toiling and worn out fellow laborers to paddle through a foot of mud. in order to shovel his remains into a hod when he might just as well have dropped plumb down to the base. The man who caused all this trouble, whether he consents to breath or not, deserves to have his head pounded with a brick (if a colored man with a steam pile driver) till his mortal career is ended, and have his bodv buried in the old Broadway Cemetery. ft will prove that these little ac-centricities can not be indulged in with impunity.He who takes the first step in the right direction will receive the approval of the civilized world.
