Iron Daily News OF January 81

CFrom Daily News OF January 81
We mentioned yesterday that John
Finn-commonly known rs Cast Iron
Jack '-employed at tho international
mill, had a leg broken. DR.. Owen,
with the assistance of DR.. w. IL. Tay-
lor, amputatcd the limb below the
knee joint. Finn has n family depend
ing OH him for support. His friends
and acqualntances might, without
missing much, help him out.
A few days ago it was told In this
paper how u girl ran off from home to
save herself from i'll treatment at the
hands of her stepfather. IL was re-
lated that she dressed in male attire
and followed tho occupation Of a wood
packer. Her name was suppressed ut
her request. She departed yesterday
morning by private conveyance to join
her mother In Folsom.
The International mill and tramway
made several stoppages this week, for
lack of water, as the pipes leading to
the works had been frozen up during
the cold snap.
The following items come to us by
private letter, dated 22d inst: VIM.
Armstrong, a miner in the WOODBURY.,
was blown up while loading a hole
with giant powder. His right arm and
face were badly injured. The Wood
burn, under the management Of VIM.

How TO SEE UNDER WATER.-A
correspondent of tho Scientific Anert-
can says:
The Indians of North America do
this BY cutting a hole through the ice,
and then covering or hanging n blan-
ket In such a name rs to darken or
exclude tho direct rays Of the sun,
when they are enabled to SEQ into the
water and discover fish at any reason
ablo depth. Let any one who Is anx-
ious to provo this place himself under
the blanket, and he will be astonished
when he beholds with what brilliancy
everything In the fluid world Is light
ed up. / once had OCCASION to exam
Inc the bottom Of y mill pond, for
which I constructed q float out Of an
inch plank, sufficient to buoy mo up;
through the center of this float | cut q
hole and placed q blanket over 1t, when
I was enabled to clearly discover OBJ
iects on the bottom, and several lost
tools wore discovered and picked up.
| am satisfied that, whore water Is suf-
iiciently clear, this latter plan could
DO successfully used for searching for
lost bodies and articles. l would now
suggest that this experiment be tried
on the sen ; forI am satisfied that with
q craft like the ship Great Eastern,
where an observatory could be placed
at the bottom, with sufficient dark
ness, by aid Of glasses we could gaze
down into the depths of the sea, the
same AS We can survey the starry
heavens ut midnight.

A man named Fred. Stiber, or Steu.

day by the accidental discharge OF a
pistol. In company with some friends
he was standing near the corne OF
Tenth and X streets. His friends were
examining a self-cocklng pistol. He
seeing they were careless in Its man
agement, told them to be careful, as 1t
was pointed toward him, and seeing
danger lodged. Just as he lodged his
head the pistol exploded, the ball with
which 1t was charged hitting him Oh
tho right side Of his neck and passing
into his mouth, from which it was ex-
perforated. The wounded man was
taken into the saloon at the corner OF
Tenth and X streets, and medical as
slstance Immediately called for. The
wound Is not necessarily Of a fatal ma
ture, and ut last accounts the wounded
man was doing we'll.

From all that can be understood,
Warmoth 10 the most extraordinary
and precoclous leader in the South. He
Is represented to DO six feet, three
inches high, of q slender, wiry build,
but with q fine Kentucky-looklng face,
large nose, full at the nostrils, keen,
measuring (eyes, Il superb moustache,
and well-cut brows and chin. He is o
native of Louisiana, began public life
when Is years of age, being then a
fluent stump speaker, and now, at %.
he Is an arrogant, keen-witted, and
successful man, worth probably half a
million OF dollars, of which he had ao-
cumulated one hundred thousand In tile
practice of law in New Orleans. He
Is unmarrled-is much scandallzed on
the marriage point, however-makes
his own game, and is thoroughly skcp-
tical about men, having apretty rough
school Of 1t In Louisiana, where nearly
all the politlcians-rsbel, negro and
Northern-are ~inslncere, hollow-heart-
ed wrctches. who would turn their
backs upon him, or Grant, or anybody,
tomorrow, if they suppose his power
was growing less. Wormoth's weak
nesses are his rashness, boyishness and
applicability. He spends q short tlmo
In every case Of difficulty to effect a
compromise and, this failing, he re-
solves into an enemy, and Is h~encefor-
ward unpaciiiable. Glutted with power
at an age when men generally are still
porting over school books or learning
some vocation, this extraordinary spec
linen Of American opportunities In
time of political chaos has already had
an epic career, and lives In much a
lonely life-the loss Of youth poorly
compensated for by premature do
minion. His courage, mental and
physical, has been fully tested. He
will run again, and will doubtless be
elected Governor of tho State. The
impeachment project has already
blown over. He has attached Long
street to himself, and Longstreet is,
therefore, In peril with the Executive.

IT is a fact Mt first sight strange that
in Paris, normally the gayest Of cities,
the number Of suicides Is greater than
in any other part Of the world. In
every AZ deaths that occur one Is suici-
dial. In London the proportion - less
than In 200: while In New York there
Is but one In 742. Vienna is about the
same as London In this matter. Of
course the anomaly presented BY Paris
may we'll DO explained upon the prin-
ciples of meeting extremes. In every
community there "a a mean or average
moral condition, and it is certain that
the departures from this means pro-
coed just as far on one side as on tho
other. Thus the greatest misery must
be found where there Is the greatest
pleasure. A French hygienist has been
trying to explain the enormous sui
cidal tendency of the people Of his
capital, and he argues at length in
support Of three alleged causes. These
are, 1st, the influence of political pas
sions (morbus d~emocraticus, the Ger
mans call 1t y I'd, the enfeeblement Of
religious ideas 81, madness induced
by alcoholism.
