IMMENSE DEPTHS OF ENGLISH CoAI

In Great Britain and eleven lives lost
Science seems helpless to prevent these

gross negligence and defiance Of stat.

have In few cases extended deeper than
GOO feet. In England and Wales, how

Is like that Of the pearl-diver he con.
stantly faces well-understood danger
for the sake of gaining a livelihood. In
entering the mouth Of q pit lie leaves
behind him not only the light and
beauty OF the world, but that sense oil
security on which the comfort Of most
men depends. He passes even beyond
the protection Of sclonce, rs 1t now Is.
Science, however, has done much for
him. 1t has provided him a safety

mine, have beenj partially successful,
How many more lives must be lost be-
fore the success Is complete? The re-
cord of the last year has not been en-

Philosephy OF Tipping.

It's an old piece of advice, but It's
worth repetition: Don't drink freely
Of spirits. Don't drink because you
arc respondent, because you arc dull,
because you want excitement, or be-
cause You feel gay, and would feel
gayer. Drink for despondencyP For
every blue devil go driven away ten
will return to reinforce him. Drink
against dullness? For the few days Of
fleeing, baleful light so brought to you
there shall afterward come clouds as
thick and black Us those which once
darkened tho heavens over Herculane-
nm and Pompell. Three times out Of
four the blue means a torpid liver.
Bad blood sent to the brain generates
gloomy thoughts. The life current Is
not circulating through your body
with sufficient power to keep the many
and varied departments IN proper nc
ton; alcohol gives 1t a spasmo0ic i'm
pulse. The wheels of life for a few
moments are sent whizzing and spin;
ming around, then comes reaction :
and they turn more sluggishly than
ever. The only good spirits In tho
world are resident In good blood. Tho
worst ones live IN bad. 'Tls that
which sends false imaginations, sus-
picions and dependencies to the brain.
Moderate tipping is the father of dys-
popsia. Intoxication In any degree
will cause you to overrate your power
and dlstort your judgment. The reac-
ton causes you to underrate and sinks
you In your self-esteem. So the drink
Ing man lives OH q see-saw. Now up
In tho false sunshine Of vanity, now
down In the CULTS Of self-depredatlon.
So the devlllsh spirit OF wine plays
with humanity, and we'll 1t earns tho

FIRE IN SAcRAMENTo.-The Sacra-
mento Union Of February LIST, says
When the fire occurred on Second
street yesterday morning, the women
In tho neighborhood 'turned out" as
might be expected, in a high state Of
excitement. One Of them appeared In
a brief night-gown, which allowed 10
the bright light fthe fire, Of n view Of
her pedals. One Of the "Jakies" who
happened to be passing yelled out to
his comrades, "Hi! nj! here's q wo-
man with snow-shoes on" A rush
was made to the spot, and many In
quiring glances were bestowed upon
tho lower extremities, when 1t was
found that the snow-shoe suggestion
was q mistaken idea, growing out Of
the remarkable development Of her
feet.

USEFUL SANITARY RUIEs.-Never
eat q hearty supper before going to
bed. Do not sleep on feathers or hair
mattresses. Straw, or shavings are
preferable. Never sleep naked, but
wear a wooden or gauze under.gar-
ment, and cover with q sheet. Don't
SIT OH a hot stove; and DO careful ut
all times to avoid standing OH your
head. There Is, moreover, nothing to
be gained by sleeping with tho left leg
over the nape OF the nook. 1t Is q great
deal better to sleep double than single
a a permanent arrangement. It i'm
proves tho morals and saves blankets,
giving you a life long comforter" 1t
Is not conducive to health, and GER
tainly injurious to the temper to travel
over the Union Pacific Railroad In
mid winter. Don't do IL. Never get
up too early ; men have been known
to die before breakfast. Drink often
In cold weather, the system requires
1t beware Of too much cold water, hot
punches are best. Cut out these rules
for preservation.-S. +. Figaro.

An R1eitisk naaaIo nu...
from the Leavsnworth (K.u.) Times.]

From the LoavenHorth (han.D Tfnee.J
Senator SpraSue visited Kansas a
few weeks ago, and, like all other
Eastern visitors, wanted to see the but
falo on his native heath. Accordingly,
Benjamin Akers. Of this city, got up a
party, and with the Senator, went out
to the buffalo country. A few miles
from Fort Wallace they found the
bisons in Thousands, and the hunters
went In" Mr.. Akers singled out an
old patriarch of the herd, chased him a
few miles, aud after a few successful
shots brought him down. After his
own game was secure, he commenced
looking around for the rest of the party.
The Senator had also singled out an
old bull, and driven him apart from
the rest Of the herd, and was in a little
ravine about two miles distant from
Akers. but In plain view. The buffalo
had been wounded and showed fight.
The Senator would pursue him for a
short distance, but would then be COM
PEELED to turn his horses head In the
other direction and get out OF the way
of the maddened animal; once, In
wheeling suddenly, his horse fell, and
the bull wa, right upon him In an In
slant. Akers says this was n OF the
| closest calls he ever saw-so close, In
deed, as to leave no doubt In his mind
that there would very soon be a neces-
sity for a special Senatorial election In
| Rhode Island "to fill vacancy 5" but
lust In the nick Of time the valiant
Senator regained his scat In the saddle
and was Off like the wind, his horse
being stimulated by a sharp "punch"
from the bulls horns. It seems that
Mr.. Sprague had pursued the animal
| closely. fired several shots upon him,
wounded him severely but not fatally,
and that his ammunition had then
given out; Mr.. Akers, comprehending
the situation. came to his assistance
and reinforced him with a few rounds
when the bull was promptly brought
down. The Senator brought In with
him the head Of the animal and is hav-
ing it "cured" to take home, rs q
trophy of his skill and proves rs a
| buffalo hunter.

IN ,bs matter of the report Of n com

In the matter Of the report Of n COM
mittee Of the Presbytery Of Brooklyn,
New York, In tho cast or n woman
preaching In Rev. Mr.. Cuyler's Church
to the effect that It was "inconsistent
with tho rules Of the church to allow
women to preach" to which idea we
made reference day before yesterday,
N subsequent telegram says: "The
Brooklyn Presbytery this evening con-
cludsd the Cuyler case, and instead Of
censuring him for allowing a woman
to preach In his pulpit q resolution
was passed calling the attention Of the
Church to q resolution Of the Synod Of
1882, declaring that women should
preach in their churches" Thus 1t
seems that liberal common views
finally prevailed, and the old fogles OIL
that committee were made to take a
back seat. Religion, like all other af-
fairs Of the human rice, Is inclined to
be progressive.

Going ever, staying never,
But It will not, cannot know.
Slowly drifting, slowly drifting,

Now, the twilight shadows shifting
Show the starlight on the stream;
Always knowing we arc going
Down the tide as In o dream.
Here a rose and there q willow;

Here Astone some head TO pillow,
Here astone to mark ones flight
From the sorrow OF tho morrow
And tho darkness ofthe night.
Such IS these we use while floating;
Such a. these line all the shorei
Every little thing denoting
Some ono who had gone before;
But belated, here had waited
Till they forward went-no morei
Down the tide we now arc going;
But that tide will fall some day,
And our wrecked liie.bark be showing
Unto those who fain would stay,
Here q mortal passed. the portal
All must pass who pass away.

EURExA.-rhe Sentinel Of Tuesday

Two shipments Of bullion have been
made from tho Piute mill, and, we arc
credibly informed, that the Lemon
Mill Company will soon send forward
a shipment from their mill. This Is
encouraging, and Indicates increased
wealth to flow into our country from a
new avenue. For nearly three years
base bullion has been going from here,
and within the last year great quanti-
ties have been sent away, but It seems
to have failed In drawing the attention
TO the district that Its intrinsic worth
really merits. II Is no Idle prediction
when we assert that before another
year shall have rolled around, many
thousands Of dollars will leave Eureka
weekly from the workings ofour mills.
It Is a question Of but little time when
the Adams Hill Company, lately incor-
porated, will have twenty stamps In
operation, thus adding to the reduc-
ton facilities Of the district, and with
their splendid property the whole
number can be kept constantly busy.

In our intercourse with men, we
have not failed to observe that those
who pirate most about morals, and
who evinee extreme anxiety to guide
and control their neighbors, will bear
watching. Take for instance our
smelling committee and the Eaton
REGISTER. Every II of them are in
favor of the denomination of Grant,
and yet his Incorporate and drunken
habits II too well known to be blink
ed at by any man. Gentlemen, let us
hear no more of your temperance gas
while you support dissipated andde-
moralized President We are at. a
loss to see how any Republican church
member or Minister can support a
candidate like Grant, while clamoring
about temperance. Please take D look
at yourselves, and see whether thee
is any discrepancy between your the
cries and practice.
