Marvelous Escape Of a Miner.

A most remarkable escape from instant
death occurred short time since at the
New York Mine, in Marquette county,
Michigan. The ,Minf',g Journal says:
"One Of the miners was engaged in
charging an immense hole, fourteen feet
in depth, in which he had put charge of
eleven kegs of powder, to which was at
tached fuse, thought to be OF sufficient
length to enable the man to make good
his retreat By some mishap the fuse
ooiled at the instant it was ignited, the
FIRE coming in contact with and igniting
the fuse at the hole. The consequence
was an instantaneous explosion, throw
ing out, as estimated, quite three hundred
tons of rock. The man that touched of
the fuse was thrown perpendicularly into
the air distance Of twenty feet, coming
down on top and in the midst of the
masses of rock thrown out by the blast.
Singular as well as fortunate to relate,
with the exception of a slight scratch or
two of his fingers, he was entirely unin-
iured. The man maintained remsrka-
bic coolness and presence of mind under
the circumstances, evinced by his sing
ing out to his comrades to keep back, as
they were running up to the scene, ex-
peotiug to find him blown to atoms.
keep back" said be, perhaps it
hasn't all gone of yet, and you'll get
hurt."

Petty Inciviltties I'm Church.
We may classify the petty incivilitieS

We may classify the petty incivilitiea
of church life thus:
l. SmeLls.-Violent perfumes, espe-
cislly those containing musk, are disa-
greeable TO most persons, and to some
positively distressing. There is no smell
so universally pleasing as no smell.
Never scent yourself when going into a
crowded assembly. The same is true OF
the residuary smell of tobacco which
hangs about the garments and eflicts the
breath of those who habitually smoke.
But tobacco almost invariably makes
men self-indnlgent and regardless OF
others convenience. More brutal yet
are they who go to church reeking, like
q Dutchmsn's soup, with the smell of
onions. There are scores of people who
have lost all profit of Sunday service
by the sickening smells which surround
them. itet
2. Sounds. = Whispering in church
during the service is an sffront to polite-
ness. Much of the coughing which goes
on in church arises from the poisonous
gases and personal efinvis which exists
in unventilated churches. But the power
of the will over the muscles which do the
coughing is very great. A needless per-
son will cough twice as much as is need
ful-will cough OF the worst time possible
will cough plump upon the necks of
those before him, instead of embslming
the sound ia his handkerchief, as, with a
little skill and politeness, he might easily
do. We would not forbid men who
cannot sing to make joyful noise -
but il should be q softly noise. In all
cases when it is mans duty TO sleep in
church, it is his duty also to snore with
the soft pedal down.
3. Sight. Every one likes to see the
minister. It cannot be done through
your body. True, you cannot help being
before somebody unless you are on the
back seat. Bat, with little thought,
YOU may very much help those behind
YOU. Any conduct which shall divert
the attention Of others from the service,
such as ostentatious playing with watch,
or opening aud shutting it, reading
books and papers, is impolite.
Many churches have the Ten Com
mandments set upon the wall, in sight of
the whole congregation, although not

Mrs. DIR. Mary walker ana a Suspi'
cious Old Lady.

Mrs. DIR, Walker, having occasion re-
Gently to pass up the Mississippi river, was
interviewed o. New Madrid by the editor
of the Record, and in the course of the
conversation Mary related the following
amusing incident of her war experience
in Georgia:
frequently rode outside our lines and
yisited the tarm-houses, where | found
much destitution among the women.
The men were generally absent in the
Confederate army, or had fed at our
approach. l administered 10 great
many sick among those destitute Geor-
gians. On one occasion called at the
house of an old lady, who was sick, and
had quite pretty young daughter living
| with her. prescribed for the old lady and
| furnished her with medicine and some
needed delicacies, and gave her great
and speedy relief. At her request l re-
mained ali night, and there being no va
cant bed in the house, slept with the
daughter. Soon after / was called upon
to visit very sick young man in the
same neighborhood. By proper medical
treatment and attention he was soon con-
valescent, and l suddenly became very
famous in that neighborhood. Exagger-
ated accounts of my skill and learning
were noised abroad, and reached the ears
of the old lady just mentioned. Not long
after was overtsken by night outside of
the lines, and called upon the old lady for
another nights entertainment. To my
uurprise, she seemed reluctant and hesi.
tating, and then said:
"Look here, I'm afesrd of you; I'm
afeard to let you sleep with my daughter
again, for l am afeard you amt a wo-
man; l don't believe any woman ceuld
know as much about doctoring folks as
you do" 49, 81,
tried to disabuse her mind ofsuch an
impression, but she only shook her head
and said: I'm afraid-Td rather moi"
At length / unfastened my hair, and
shaking it out upon my shoulders, said
Look there, did you ever see q man
have such hair as that2 Is not that a
woman's hair ?"
"Oh, don't know" said the old wo..
man, "folks has got curious way OF
fastening, hair on their heads in these
days, and maybe its jist fastened there.
I'd rather not let you sleep with my
daughter any more. You know too much
for woman" tried other means with
better success, and greatly relieved, the
old lady again put me in her daughters

Grace Greenwood tells the following
good story: E&3 ' 4A4 a4t
An amusing anecdots of chance en-
counter with royalty is going about just
now. While the Prince and party were
en- route from New York, Western
man got on the train for Baltimore, at
the Junction, and by mistake, made his
way into the special car, where he quietly
took seat. Presently, seeing q nice
young man reading paper, with another
lying at his feet, he stepped up to the
stranger, and lacking old Jacks loyal in
stinct, thus accosted the true Prince:
"Have you done with this paper, sir 2?
A stare of establishment was the ouly
reply. Again he asks, raising his voice:
Have You done withthi paper, sir Z"
-. Again the same mute, amazed reply
steady Guelphic stare. 1t is highly
probable his Higness had never before
been addressed after the plain republican
style. At this point the indignant trav-
eler broke forth:
-'~ "Why, and - words which i
really cannot bring myself to write,
though remember to have encountered
them in various religious publications,)
"can't you say yes or no"
"Well, yes, then" said the Prince,
which was good-natured and sensible,
but dreadfully unprincely.

q number of candidates or concentrate them
upon one, as he thinks ft, is the best that
can be devised, but il is at least the best that
has yet been proposed, and is we'll worthy of
trial as great improvement over the plan at
present in vogue. Mr. Buckalew, whether
he succeeds or not in having the cumulative
system generally adopted, is entitled to great
credit for the disinterested aud bipartisan
manner in which he has advocated it. A
Democrat himself, he induced the peo-
pie of Bloomsbury to try the cumu-
lative plan at time when the Demo-
Gratis were largely in the majority,
and when they we're certain to suffer the de-
feat of several of their candidates by in
dulging in such an experiment. Sucha piece
of enlightenment on the part of Democrat
is as rare as it is praiseworthy, and all impair
tial men will be glad to give Mr.. Buckalew
the credit he deserves.
The Generalization of our civil service is
one of the natural results of corruption in
party politics, and all the indications are that
it is almost hopeless to expect any adequate
reform in the present disgraceful system of
distributing the Government offices as poll
tical rewards until the Independent voters are
able to make themselves heard in a more
potent manner than by mere protests. These
are subjects that ought to be kept before the
public constantly, and urged with pertinacity,
and we hope that the deliberations of the
Social Science Association will have the effect
of exciting an attention to them that will
lead TO beneficial results.
