Under the excellent management n
arrangements al the lmperial-Empire
shaft, everything is progressing admira-
bly, MS far as mining operations are con-
cerned. A fine new steel wire cable, Of
the very best quality, in zach Of the two
working compartments Of the shaft,
]effectually prevents all further cable
breaking, tank.smashing accidents, SO
peculiar to the institution in times past,
and during the last few weeks especially
the work of development at the lower
l0vsls has progressed in u very satiSfact-
DRY manner. Tho drift west into the
Imperial at the l,000.foot level has PEN
etrated $50 feet to the west wall, or in
the vicinity thereof, then 81 feet north
TO the Alpha line, and on that line it is
now run 40 feet east, On an exploratiye
return toward the east wall. A vast
amount OF hard barren white quartz has
been found in this level, but thus far no
ere at ALL The l,l00-foot level is in IS
fee. west from the shaft, SIS feet of the
drift being IN the vein matter, which is
porphyry with no quartz, a. that point.
The water is raised from the shaft in
tanks at the rate of 5000 gallons per
hour, the greatest portion of it coming
from the l,00o-foot level. How soon
the company will conclude to com.
mence sinking the shaft deeper is not
stated, but from present prospects, it is
evident that the sooner they do so the
better it will be for all concerned. These
lower levels most decidedly show pal
pablo evidence that the barren belt "
is not yet passed. They are morally
sure to strike pay ore, if they only sink
down to where it is.

audience could not fail to admire Stark's
rendition of his favorite character
of Rolla, hence he was frequently ap-
plauded. Harrison succeeded excellent

reputation in this piece is a most envi-
able one, therefore a full house may
well be expected.
RAcISG.-The rival express ponies
from Reno create quite a stir among the
inhabitants of Virginia every evening,
yet not half so much as the velocipede
squad practicing on the streets about
the same timo. Professor Orndorf
rides the pretticst Of all, but not the
fastest. Little "Batch" beats him
somewhat. Butch handles his feet on
such occasions something after the
lively style in which he handles his
drumsticks when he beats the tenor
drum. He comes tho roll s~plendidly
in both instances.
GRAND NArISEE.-At Piper's Opera
House, tomorrow afternoon, will be

Champagne Charlie.

His Royal Highness Prince Champagne
Charlie has an enormous fortune for an in
come; but Parliament is to be asked to pay
some of his travelling expenses. He also
married a lovely Danish princess a few
years ago, and all the poets sang in her
honor like all the wedding chimes pealing
together; but it is now whispered that
"a lady Of title, who recently disgraced her
family, owes her ruin to her future king"
That he is fond of cider-cellars, and the
songs that are sung there, and the people
that congregate there, is also subject of
common rumor. That he is mentally a
dull young man, of whom no generous word
or action has ever been made public, is not
denied. He seems to show all the quail
ties that are most to be deplored in the
worst of his ancestors; and more humil-
iating family for royal family than the
German kings of England it would be hard
to find. There are many private gentlemen
who already avoid the Prince as much as
they can. 1t is unpleasant to have to deal
with man who insists upon playing at
cards for money, carefully takes all he wins,
and never pays a shilling he loses. This is
no meaner than his great-uncle Adonis,
Prince Regent; but now all the glamour is
gone. The wig is no longer halo, but a
wig. When you believe in Pope it is
very well to hear of the Holy Father that
he commits crimes as a man, and not as a
Pope. But when you believe in Pope no
longer, cruel and treacherous pontiff is
merely a bad man. Prince Champagne
Charles grandfather, the dull old George,
was as little royal perhaps as Charlie; but
people believed in royalty then, and they
do not believe in it now.
While tine poverty and suffering of Eng
land increase so rapidly that they leave the
strongest and most painful impression of
all upon the minds of strangers; while the
problem OF crime becomes more pressing
every day, and there is a general feeling
that the country is moving before the
breath of an undeclared revolution; while
the House of Lords has but to take an atti-
tude of opposition to the popular will to
hear the universal growl of popular dis
pleasure, and the frank declaration that it
exists only by popular sufferanee, it is not
to be supposed that the follies of Prince
Champagne Charlie will be tolerated be-
You'd certain point. If the House of
Lords, how much more does the throne,
survive only by popular permission9 And
in England the question has very nearly
become one of economy merely. Is per-
manent executive preferable? Is the
pageant of royalty desirable, or even longer
practicable, for such an executive?
Champagne Charlie had better be salts
| fed with salary of seven or eight hundred
thousend dollars year for doing nothing
in the most offensive manner. There were
Englishmen living in America who asked,
"Why should we be taxed without repre-
sentation ?" There are Englishmen living
in England who ask, ''what do we gain by
paying such enormous sums to such a

" Bob Whites" Home.

Bob White-(that is, Mr.. and Mrs. B..
W.)-commence to build their nest in the
month of May, little earlier or later &C
carding to the character of the season. If
it is very cold they will put it off until
June. They select location in the open
safety; dryness is evidently a first care. A
few blades of grass or the roots of corn
stalk act as shelter, and are generally
sufficient to divert observation. The ell
sidering how simple are the materials of

lays from sixteen to twenty white eggs; in

They are sharp, at the small end, and so

Cinders in the Eye.

The following is from communication
in Hearth and Home by an eminent physi-
clan:
Called to prescribe for Mrs. Andrews
inflamed eyes learned that she had bit
OF cinder in her eyes; occurred while trav-
cling i'll the cars four days ago; eye very
much inflamed, painful and attended with
severe headache. This is one of hundreds
of cases where little knowledge would
not have been dangerous thing, and would
save world of pain. Nothing is more
distressing to a traveller than piece of
cinder i'll the eye, and no disorder is more
easily remedied. Calling the family to-
gether, proceeded to show them that it
was not an eye-wash that Mrs Andrews
needed to relieve her suffering, but the re-
moval of the foreign substance.
The cinder will be found just underneath
the margin of the upper lid, where there is
small groove or gutter for the flow of tears
to the inner angle of the eye. Foreign
bodies tend to fall into this groove, and if
they are very angular, like cinder, they adj
here in spite of the current of tears which
now flow in greater abundance, and sooner
or later carry Off smooth substances. Now,
if you will raise the margin of the upper
lid and turn it over the cinder or grain of
sand will be exposed and may be removed
with the point of pencil, or with the fin
ger covered by handkerchief
l then demonstrated this simple operation

Gil in my right fingers, with the thumb and
finger of my left hand seized the eye
lashes of the upper lid, and drawing the
lid gently out from the ball, pressed the
point of the pencil downward upon the
upper surface of the lid, about one-fourth
of an inch from its margin, and at the same
time carried the margin upward over the
pencil by the eye-lashes, when the lid read
lily rolled over the pencil so as to expose
completely the gutter described.
then asked one of the young ladies to
perform this operation upon her mother,
which, after two or three failures, she ac-
complished, and as I had predicted, small
angular pieces of cinder were found beneath
the margin of the lid, which she very
adroitly removed with the point of the pen
Gil.
Mrs. Andrews expressed immediate re-
lief. Somuch interest was felt in this pain
less operation, that all in turn performed
it, being much aided by requiring the per-
son operated upon to look downward when
the lid was being everted, and upward when
the operator wished to restore the lid"

Cure for Cancer.

Much is being written on the valuable
properties of carbolc acid as dressing for
wounds and as radical cure for cancer
These properties are becoming generally
recognized by physicians, and the substance
will undoubtedly come unto us as an agent
in alternating human suffering. The fol-
lowing remedy for cancer has been success
fully employed. The case was that of T.
B. Mason, of Milwaukee, upon whose face
a cancer as large as hickory nut appeared
some eight months ago. 1t was cut out
once, but soon reappeared. While in Gin
cinnatti during last winter, it was cured
by the following process, as described by
Milwaukee paper:
"a piece of sticking plaster was put
over the cancer, with circular piece cut
out of the center, a little larger than the
cancer and small circular rim of healthy
skin next to it was exposed. Then a plas-
ter made of chloride of zinc, bloodroot,
and wheat flour, was spread on piece of
muslin the size of this opening, and applied
to the cancer for twenty-four hours. On
removing it, the cancer will be found to be
burnt into, and appear of the color and
hardness of au old shoe sole, and the circu-
lar rim outside of it will appear white and
par boiled, as if scalded by hot steam
The wound is now dressed and the outside
rim soon suppurates, and the cancer comes
out hard lump, and the place heals up.
"The plaster kills the cancer, so that it
sloughs out like dead flesh, and never
grows again. This remedy was discovered
by DR.. Fell, of London, and has been used
by him, with unfailing success, for six or
eight years, and not a case has been known
of the temperance of the cancer, where
this remedy has been applied. 1t has the
sanction of the most eminent physicians
and surgeons in London, but has not until
recently been used in this country, and
many of the faculty, with their proverbial
opposition to innovations look upon it with
distrust. We saw Mr.. Mason at church
yesterday, and have since conversed with
him, and took particular notice of the
cicatrized wound, and can only say if the
cure is only permanent-and from the evil
dence of six or eight years experience in 9th
er cases, we have no doubt it is-the remedy
ought to be universally known. We have
| referred to this case because Mr.. Mason is
so well known, both here and at the east.
The experiment excited much interest in
Cincinnati, and we call the attention of the
faculty in this State to the remedy. If it
is what is claimed for it, this terrible dis
ease is shorn of its terrors. The applica-
ton is painful, but the pain is of compari
lively brief duration, which any one SO
afflicted would cheerfully endure"

Very soon the parent birds returned to the
nest, and although the gentleman and men,
bers of his family went frequently to look
at the birds, they sat out their time. For
three successive years nest was made in
the same locality.
A most remarkable instance of Bob
Whites insensibility to fear, while engaged
in Matching, is related by friend of ours
as the result of his own experience. He
informs us that when boy, while residing
on his fathers farm in Maryland, a nest
was discovered in one corner of small in
closure, which contained the kennels of a
pointer and setter dog. 1t is especially
curious that the dogs took no notice of the
birds. The intelligent creatures acted as if
entirely unconscious of each others pres
ence. Under these seemingly adverse cir
cumstances the brood was Matched and car
ried to protection in neighboring wood
