SEVERE ACCIDENT,

The Grass Valley Union Of Wednes-
day says: Monday night, about -
o'clock, Charles j. Synson was badly
hurt ut the Eurekn mine. Synson Is
employed rs a helper In the black
smith shop, and rs such 1t Is his duty
to unload dull drills from the cars
which come out Of the mine. On tho
occasion referred to he uuloaded a car,
and then showed 1t on the cage to be
lowered Into the mine. He unfortu-
nately neglected to clock the car on
the cage. Before lowering the cage 1t
Is always raised above the stopping
place ut the surface some four or six
feet In order to clear the way for q
descent. The car In this case, when
hoisted, began to roll out. and Synson
observing that 1t was about to fall.
jumped forward to catch it. He could
not save the car from the fall, but was
caught under 1t and badly hurt. His
right leg Is badly bruised and the
bones Of the Lex suffered a compound
commInuted fracture. The bad frac-
ture OF the bone and the severe bruises
OF the flesh Of the leg may render am
putatlon necessary.

DANGER.

In view of the fact that the Coro-
ner's inquest in the matter OF the fatal
Petaluma mill explosion could dis
cover no possible reason, or any n to
blame for the terrible disaster, the Idea
naturally occurs that no real safety
exists at any time In the vicinity OF a
steam boiler when In operation. Let
it be ever so good a boiler, and ever so
we'll engineered and attended to, it Is
never tree from liability to explode,
scattering death and destruction on all
sides. Competent witnesses testified
that tho boilers which exploded were
In a perfect state Of repair and in OK.
cellent condition. and that they were
not worn out or burned out, having
been in use less than five years, and
made of the very best material. The
engineer on duty was universally
known as \ very capable and careful
man, and he testified to his belief
in the good and safe condition Of
the boilers. He had seen that
there was plenty Of water In the boil
ers half an hour before the explosion,
when he put on the covers Of the man.
holes, and to make assurance doubly
sure he pumped in considerable more
water atterward. Eight minutes before
the eSnlosion he tried the water and
found there were three gauges Of 1t In
the boilers, which were connected.
There were only 90 pounds Of steam
on. As indicated by the steam gauge,
and as high a. 100 pounds have been
carried on the same boilers In times
past. The mill had been shut down
for the three days previous to the ex-
plosion, from lack OF ore to crush,
therefore It w easy to assign crystal
lization Of the Iron in the cooling and
heating Of the boilers as the inducing
cause producing the explosion just at
that particular time. yet there are
scores Of boilers throughout the coun-
try, which have been In use at least
twice as long as these, which have
frequently been subjected to this same
cooling off and heating up process,
thus far. with perfect impuuity. There
might have been some popularity In
the water used In these boilers, or
some local influence which no n un-
derstsnds at present, which remains
for the future to develop. All sorts Of
stories were afiost Immediately after
the disaster, such as that the boilers
were old, dilapidated and unsafe ;
that there was no water in them !; that
they were not properly attended to,
and all that sort Of thing, but
the Coroncr's inquest settles
those matters very fully. But It
also leaves In the minds Of all
a dread degree Of shaken belief in the
safety Of the best boilers In the world.
They never can know when they are
safe. There appears to be absolutely
no one to blame for this sad disaster,
neither the proprietors nor the en-
gineers.

ed her, till at last she yielded reluc-
tant consent, though she absolutely re-
fused to remain with the family during
the evening and partake of any enjoy
ment, preferring to retire to her own

Blanche and Cordelia, who were deeply
interested in White Star.
Sonora waited upon her to her room,
where, receiving fervent kiss upon
her fair brow, was turning to depart,
when Catherine, perceiving the ring
which Norman had placed upon her fin
ger over year before, when he parted
with her at the depot, she grasped her
hand, exclaiming:
"That ring-how came you by it?

waiting for an answer, wound her arms
affectionately around Sonora's neck, as
she wept out "good night, good night"
and releasing her. she waived her hand.

WOman's Friendship.

1t is a wondrous advantage to man,
in every pursuit or avOcatiOu, to secure
an adviser in sensible woman. In
woman there is at once a subtle delicacy
of tact and a plain sOundness Of iudg
meDt which is surely combined 10 an
equal degree i'm man. 4 woman, if she
be your friend, will have a sensitive re-
gard for your character, honor and re-
pute. She will seldom counsel you to
do "A shabby thing, for q woman friend
always desires to be proud of you. AT
the same time, her constitutional timid-
ity makes her more cautious than your
male friend. She, therefore, seldom
counsels you 10 do an impertinent
thing.
BY female friendship we mean pure
friendship, those in which there is no
admiXture of the passion of love, except
in the marriage state. y mans best
friend is q wife of good sense and good
heart, whom he loves and who loves
him. If he have that he need not seek
elsewhere. But supposing the man to
be without such a helpmate, female
{ friendship he must still have, or his in
tellect will be without garden, and
there will be many an unheeded gap
even its strongest fence. Better and
safer, of course, such friendships where

Buy Good Books and Papers.

In the homes of the rich there are al
ways plenty of ornaments, costly furni-
ture, and expensive, if not fine pictures;
but it is much less common to find good
libraries. American wealth expends
itself less frequently i'm this direction.
because a taste for books must be formed
early, and many who have made their
own money! had little time in youth to
acquire a habit of reading. Yet the
Americans are q reading people, though
il may be feared from the trash which
sells well and amply rewards its produe-
ers, that the public taste IS more voraci-
Gus than delicate. The coarse pictorials
and the vulgar, stupid magazines and
weeklies that abound and prosper, and
thrust themselves ON public notice from
every boOk-stand, afford no very credit
able Endorsement. Vet those whose
business it is to take special eognizance
of the progress of American literature,
observe that the quality has risen, not,
perhaps, in proportion to the quantity,
yet in a degree that is highly honorable
to literature of which critic said, but
forty years ago, "WhO buys an Ameri-
can book ?n What we need, is-the
more liberal encouragement of good lit
erature, the avoidance of the bad.
There are people who think themselves
or their children well employed if they
are reading. Often sheer idleness,
or any innocent amusement, would be
more profitable. To sit for hours listen
ing to foolish talk, mere light gossip,
would not seem improving to any one.
But trash is worthless, written or
printed; often has an imposing appear
ance. But bad books, trivial books, silly
books, are company to the reader, and by
the company lie keeps his mind is
affected. All know this of living com
panions. Itis quite true Of books.
To much that is published to amuse the
passing hour, we cheerfully accord all
the merit we can find it in; but one of
the highest functions of the literary
critic in journalism, is TO separate the
wheat from the chaff in the abundant
harvest from the field Of literature. ii
those who buy for themselves or others,
will exercise proper discrimination in
the choice of books, they will find the
profit of il to themselves, and give the
profit of their purchase to those who de-
serve il. Bad books are the worst
companions; stupid books are the
dullest; foolish books are the silliest

but sound him and you will find that he
has not the depth of mind or the manIf-
ness of character that are generally pos
sesSed by the hardy country boy The
latter is natures child, he is strong,
fearless and independent, his faculties
are healthy and active, and he readily
masters the lessons that are spread out
50 abundantly around them. He studies
the works and beauties Of nature, and
being unhampered by the rules of con-
ventiOnality, he seeks the natural course
of things he does not understand, de
pending upon himself for the solution Of
his most difficult problems; thus he be-
comes self-reliant, eOmmon-sense and
practical, and when he goes out into the
world he deals with men on those prin-
ciples. He understands human nature,
too, as he has learned il from his own
disposition and his keen observation of
the conduct of other people, and, his
cOmmOn-sense telling him that human
nature is and always has been the same,
he knows exactly how to approach men
when he wishes to gain his purpose.
The greatest men of every calling and
all ages have been farmers sons, and
they will be until the end of time; and
the secret of their success is their self
reliance, united with industrious, tenn
perate habits. They have neither the
time nor the means to study the sciences
and fine arts.
There is still q brighter future for
farmers boys. The great Improvements

formerly could not be avoided, and ena-

improve their minds and become famil-

the world. The great increase in books
and periodicals and the low prices at
which they are offered furnish addi-

SHALL A WOMAN PRACTICE LAW >
Some weeks since we noticed the appli-
cation of Mrs. Nettie c. TatOr for admis-
sion TO the bar in the county of Santa
Cruz. The application was made in
March, but law passed during the last
session of the legislature, limiting adj
missions only to the Supreme Court,
went into force last April lst, and Judge
Heacock was of the opinion that il pre-
vented his Jurisdiction in the matter.
So Mrs. TatOr withdrew her application,
and will make IL in the Supreme Court
of this State. We were in hopes to have
seen this matter passed upon favorably,
rs it is eminently just that all pursuits,
trades and professions should be open to
women as TO men. Thousands of women
are compelled to earn livelihood, and
they should have all the opportunities
for so doing that men have. The pro-
fessions are of a lighter character OF
labor, and women who have the mental
calibre to adopt them should he free to
do so.
The law of this State very unjustly
limits admissions of attorneys to white
male citizens alone; but IN the report
filed in the County Clerks Office by the
majority ofthe Committee, Judge Hagan
and Col. Heath, it was maintained that
under the provisions Of the Fourteenth
Amendment to the Constitution, the
State law was null and void; for in that
Amendment all persons born in the
United States are declared citizens.
And it further says, ''Fhat no state shall
make or enforce any law which shall
abridge the privileges or immunities OF
citizen.u And they further held that
as any trade, pursuit or profession fell
among the privileges and immunities
of citizenship, therefore, under the pro
visions Of that Act, she was entitled to
admission.
We hope soon TO hear OF a favorable
decision in this matter rom the SUI
preme Court, or a speedy repeal oi the
State law.-Sd7l Jose Mercury.
