FEIRFUL CALAMITY.

BURNING OF GOLD MINES IN NEvADA-v1RaIN1A
CITY Observation-Disclosures AROUND THE MINES
-THIRTY-sIx PERSONS KNOWN TO BE KILLED.
SAN FRANCISCO, April THE Yellow Jacket
Mine, at Gold Hill, Nevada, took fire at A.
M, and the flames soon extended to the Ken
tuck and Grown Point Mines. Eleven bodies
were removed and others were seen at the
bottom ofthe Kentuck shaft, but it was found
impossible to remove them in consequence of
the intense heat. The latest reports from
Gold Hill state that thirty-six persons are
known to be dead. Hopes are entertained that
the flames will soon be subdued, but there will
be no possibility Of saving life, as the mouths
Of the mines must be closed in order to smoth-
or the confagration. The three mines that
are burning are unconnected with others un-
derground. Virginia City is almost deserted,
the pc ople having gone to render assistance to
the sufferers. The scene around the mouth OF
the mines was fearful on account of the fran
tic cries of the wives and children of those min
ers who were supposed to be lost.

BRAIN WAVES.

We mentioned, few days ago, that writer
in the London Spectator had propounded q
theory of "brain waves" to account for the ap-
pearance Of persons at the point of death to
their distant friends. He claims that there is
kind OF brain atmosphere, which extends
over the globe, and upon which the brain has
the power of impressing undulations, just as @
bell sets the air in motion, or an electric bat
terry the electric fluid in telegraph wire.
These waves, when they meet with a sympa-
thetic organ, produce ideas and images more
or less distinct, according to circumstances.
The subject is undergoing discussion III the
Columns OF the Spectator, and i'm recsnt mum.
ber OF the paper some facts confrmato tory OF the
theory are advanced. One is the case Of q per-
son whose image was seen by his wife to enter
his house'and 60 up stairs some two hours be-
fore his actual arrival. On inquiry it was
found that at that moment he was mentally
imagining himself as doing the precise thing
which his apparition did. Another story is
perhaps not new to many OF our readers, but it
is sufficiently interesting to be repeated:
Admiral Sir Thomas Williams q straight
forward and excellent man, was in command
OF q ship crossing the Atlantic ocean. His
course brought him within sight Ss the Island
Of Ascension, at that time uninhabited. and
ucNoI vASlCto Wy any buAp except IOT Cu0 puC-
pose OF collecting turtles. which abound on the
coast. The island was barely descried on the
horizon, and was not to be noticed at all; but
as Sir Thomas looked at it, he was seized by
an unaccountable desire to steer toward it. He
felt how strange such o wish would appear to
his crew, and tried to disregardit but, In vain.
His desire became more and more urgent and
distressing, and foreseeing that it would coon
be more difficult to crafty it, he told his leu
tenant to prepare to "put about the ship" and
steer for Ascension. The officer to whom he
spoke ventured respectfully to represent that
changing their course would greatly delay
them-that just at that moment the men were
going 10 their dinner-that, ut least, some de-
lay might be allowed. But these arguments
seemed te increase Captain Williams anxiety,
and the ship was steered toward the uninter-
esting little island. All eyes and spy glasses
was perceived on the shore. "It is white-it is
fag-it must be signall' And when they
neared the shore it was ascertained that six
teen men, wrecked on that coast many days
before, and suffering the extremity OF hunger,
had set up signal, though almost without a
hone of relief

The robbery of over million dollars worth
OF bonds and greenbacks, which was executed
on Sunday morning in Philadelphia, and
which was successfully pcrpetrated in build
ing situated at the thoroughfare Of the south
west corner Of Twelfth and Chestnut streets,
goes far to prove that the burglars trade is fast
approximating to the rank and class Of science.
The robbery was discovered by the keeper of
q billiard table saloon, who, on going home.
saw that the window belonging to the Saving
Fund society was open. short examination

THE BURGLARS TAKING THEIR OWN TIME.
Inc carpet OF the room was torn up in differ
ent places, and torn envelopes that contained
valuable bonds, &C., were strewn around in all
directions. The robbers had evidently been at
work several hours, for 1t was found that a
large piece Of timber, evidently prepared for
position on the floor, near the safe door, by
means OF iron hinges screwed to the floor, and
behind this was prop. securely planted
against this upright post. This contrivance

The combination look Of the safe was Knocked

three inches to the right of the place where the

to the depth Of about three inches. A paper
containing powder, and different sized "bits,"
q large bracs and bottle Of alcohol. were
found in the room, which had been left behind.
TEMPTING REWARD.
OF the securities stolen from the st. John
beneficial Saving Fund, about $4,000 were
registered bonds, not convertible. The coupon
bonds amounted to $50, 900, OF which $99, 900
na were 5-2O's. Mortgages to the amount of $780,
goo were not disturbed, SO that, including re-
gistered bonds. securities and real estate. the
society will have $3.50, 600 to meet the claims OF
,0oO depositors. The society offer a reward of

covery of the assets. The managers have sus-
pended payments to depositors for tho present.

FROUDE OW- EDUCATx0M.

Mr.. Froude, the English historian, has been
appointed Rector Of the University Of st. An
drew's; and on the day Of his Inauguration he
delivered an address to the students, which, in
many Of it's passages, has universal appica-
tion, and especially in those which relate to
education as means Of independence.
He said there were two ways Of baing inde-
pendent. II man required much, he must
produce much /; and if he produced little, he
must require little. He set the austere life OF
the old scholars before his audence-the mon
whose studies added nothing TO the material
wealth OF the world, and who were content to
be poor. The thirty Thousand students who
assembled at Paris from all parts Of Europe to
hear Abelard had the use Of their own legs in
going there, and were satisfied. They did not
grumble because they had no money where
with to ride: They respected alike the compen-
They had taken their stand, having made their
sphere which they had deliberately accepted,
knowing that wealth did not grow there, nor
anywhere, out OF the material conditions. This
was the most important thing for man to
