MINING ACCIDENT IN PLACER CoUN.
fY.-The Auburn Herold of the 24tl
Instant gives the following particulars
Of the recent terrible mining accident
in Placer county:
Two men, Carter Cox and benjamin
Rowe, were Sutfocated to death In the
Orc mine, ut Forest Hill. OF Tuesday
afternoon last. by foul mir. caused by n
blast Of fifty kegs of powder; and
three other men, Willis Jones, Mi
chael Dougherty and Patrick Corco-
ran came near suffering the same ter
rible fate. II would seem that after
setting off this monster blast these men
had ventured In the mine before the
foul air had had time to escape. and
the two first persisted rs above, while
the latter barely escaped with their
lives-indeed. Jones, ut last accounts,
was still suffering severely. Cox had
been workinga at the Hill some eight or
ten months, and WAS 4 man some
thlrty-tive or thirty-eight years old.
Rowe had been there some five or six
years, and WAS a man some forty years
old. Both were single hen. We are
indebted to j. b. SOule for the above
facts. Men become careless from be-
Ing constantly in danger or engaged in
dangerous callings, aud 4 large major
ity OF the mining accidents occur from
this cause. A few moments more of
delay la entering this mine. and these
two men. so suddenly and terribly
snatchsd from Time to Eternlty, would
have now been alive and we'll.

MARRIED MEN.-There Is an EXPIRES
sion In the face of a good married man
who has 4 good wife that q bachelor
cannot have. 1t Is Undesirable. He
Is n little nearer the angels than the
prettlest young fellow living. You
can see that his breast Is a pillow for
somebody's head, and that little fingers
pull his wliskers. No one ever mis-
takes the good married man. 1t Is
only the cratic one that leaves You in
doubt. The good M can protect all
the unprotected females and make him
self agreeable to the ladies, and yet
never leave'a doubt on any mind that
there is a precious little woman at
home worth all the world to him.

of the electric waves through the. At

formed by the two cables, or by one

with IL velocity Il little more than
double this; and it i remarked rs Il
curious fact that the rapidity of the

How AcroRs MIGHT he IDENTIFIED.
hpropos of n story told by Its New

money OH n check drawn to his order,
because nobody knew him, turned to
the teller and said, in the tones Of

dog Schneider was here he would know

following actors should find themselves
in a similar predicament, Mr. Owens
need only lay down his check and say,
"Jess so, judges" Lucille Western
might cry, 20 God! o God! me che-ild,
me che-ildren;" Pauline Markham
