The BOttOmiess Pit.

OF course everybody has heard, says
a Knoxville paper, of the old cistern
dug many years ago in the yard of the
Lamar House in this city, the bottom
of which fell out, carrying the tools of
the workmen, as was popularity sup
posed, to China. 1t was afterward
found that there was yawning cavern
of unknown dimensions, whose bottom
no man had the courage to find out.
The practical sense of the proprietor of
the Lamar House determined him to
use the bottomless abyss as drain,
seeing it wasa broken cistern that could
hold no water, and for many years it
has been thus used. But there being
no solid foundation to the impromptu
drain, the sides have regularly fallen in
time and again, and the workmen,
being fearful of their lives, have hither-
to repaired tho drain very flimsily in
deed. There was another cave las}
week, and Mr.. Guthrie, the proprietor,
determined to have the old thing fixed
once for ALL The work has been pro-
crossing now for several days. The re-
pairs promise to be permanent. Thirty
five feet below the surface the work
men came to the cavernous opening
about which much has been said and
more written. The mouth of the cavern
is very large, and the cavern itself is
supposed to extend many thousand feet
downward and to cross the city dag
onally from southeast to northwest. The
workmen found great difficulty in max
ing the excavation, the stencil being al
most intolerable. Five dollars day was
paid for their work, and a number of
them were compelled to cease their la
Dor, having been overcome with the
foul exhalations, arising from the de-
composed matter turned up by their
shovels. They talk with bated breath
of the mysterious sounds they heard
coming from the cavern, and will not
tell of the many odd and uncanny
things they found accumulated at the
bottom. One of the workmen narrowly
escaped being buried alive. He was
ascending the ladder, following his
comrades, who were going to dinner
when a mass of earth and rocks, weigh
ing several tons, caved in just opposite
the round of the ladder on which he
stood at the moment. The mouth of
the cavern has been arched over in a
substantial manner, and the drain will
be made more secure and stronger than
ever before.

Black Grenadine Suits.

Damask- figured, lace striped, and
polka-dotted suits of grenadine are i'm
ported almost to the exclusion of plain
grenadines, says fashion journal,
though the small square -meshed canvas
grenadines will be worn again. They
are made usually with a silk lined tight
basque, half over r-skirt, and a silk skirt
on which the grenadine founces are
mounted Sometimes silk flounces are
put like lining under the grenadine
hounces but this seems useless and
heavy. The Partisan fancy is to use
Jet, watered ribbon bows, and French
laces on these dresses but jets are
heavy on thin goods, and American la
dies can not reconcile themselves to
wearing imitation laces. For a polka
dotted grenadine, trim the silk skirt
with two straight hounces of grenadine
held in three side pleats at intervals,
with gathers between, and headed by a
wide bias puff, with ruffie at each side
edged with lace, the fullness laid in
three tiny side pleats reversed at top and
bottom. Put an apron over-skirt in
front, with a pleated puff around it, a
row of pleated putting up the whole Of
the second side seam, panier puff and
watered sash behind, and add a simple
Jockey basque with coat sleeves, and
yo'l have stylish summer suit. Black
satin sash ribbons with bright blue or
else mustard color yellow green) on the
reverse side are much used with black
grenadines.

A Curious BOYS DANGEROUS EXPERT
MENT.-" BERTHE" Vaughan, a little son
of G. A. Vaughan, of Ashtabula, Ohio,
met with an accident, few days SINCE,
which might have resulted in death.
Possessed'with desire to try the sem
sation of train of cars passing above
him, he secretea himself in a culvert,
on the A. j. and F. Railroad, and
anxiously awaited rapidly approach
ing train. Like lightning it thundered
by, and the boy popped his head up,
congratulating himself upon the success
of his adventure, when crash against
it came hand-car, which was following
the train. The wound inflicted was
fortunately not as serious as was at first
anticipated, and he is recovering.

A Bold Stroke,

Henri III" was written by Alex
ander Dumas and accepted by the the
strical manager, but Dumas had neg
ected his official duties in his applica-
ton to the piece, and was threatened
with the loss of his post. At this his
poor mother broke down, and was seized
with a fit, at the very moment when
success was dawning upon him. He
spent his time rushing from the theatre
to her bedside, and back again. On
the day before the performance "he
ventured on bold coup, which he had
reserved for the last. He asked for an
audience with the Duke of Orleans, and
was received with some graciousness.
He submitted an humble request that
his Royal Highness would honor the
performance tomorrow night by attend
ing it, The Duke was not little
astonished by this demand. But it was
impossible for him to comply; he had a
large party to dinner-some twenty or
thirty persons of the highest rank, ssin-
cluding prince. The young author
was not discouraged by this difficulty.
With surprising readiness and boldness
he suggested that His Highness should
bring the whole party on to the theatre
The Duke was not displeased, and
merely suggested another difficulty.
His dinner was to be at six, while the
play began at seven. The petitioner
had another suggestion ready the play
could be put an hour later and the din
ner an hour earlier Strange to say,
the Duke inclined to the idea. But
x,-.N,,11 h., xhaatra and vx,1 a
was such a party to be placed q? The
theatre Would agree, and the author
had already reserved the grand gallery,
hoping that the Duke might consent.
The latter smiled, and agreed, and from
that day Dumas dates the commence
ment of his success in life.

Guilds Signal.

Two low whistles, quaint and clear
That was the signal the engineer
That was the signal that Guild it's said
Gave to his wife at Providence,
As through the sleeping town, and thence,
Out in tho night,
On TO the light,
Down past tho farms, lying white, he sped
A husbands greeting, soant, no doubt
Yet to the woman looking ont
Watching and waiting, no serenailo.
Love song or midnight roundelay
Said what that whistle seemed to saw,
To my trust tIue
So love to you
Working or waiting, Good night !" it said
Brisk young bagmen, tourists fine.
Old commuters along the line,
Erakemen and porters glanced ahead.
Smiled as the signal sharp, intense,
Pierced through the shadows Of Providence:
Nothing amiss,
Nothing it is
Only Guild calling his wife, they said.
Summer and winter the old refrain
Rang DER the pillows OF ripening grain.
Pierced through the budding boughs oerhead
Flew down the track when the rcd leaves
burned
Like living Goals from the engine spurned ::
Sang as it flew:
To our trust true,
First of all Duty--Good night it said.
And then, one night. it was heard no more,
From Stonington over Rhode Island shore,
And the folk in Providence smiled and sad,
AS they turned in their beds. The engineer
Has once forgotten his midnight cheer"
one only knew
To his trust true,
Guild lay under his engine dead.

BEAUTIFUL WOMEN. Beauty in woman
isin considerable part matter of health.
A sick woman's face may be exquisitely
moulded she never appeals to our i'm
aginatioi,. But even an ugly face all
aglow with health and spirit, and with
sparkling eyes, becomes beautiful. Such
a woman appeals tothe imagination she
charms and attracts us by a subtle mag
netism. Whether as maid, wife or
mother, health is woman's great good.

Orphans' Fair.

The Ladies' Fair, for the benefit of
the Orphans, commenced last night
at Stearns' Hall. Strains of delicious
melody from Desmond's brass band
invited US into the spacious hall,
which had been furbished up specially
for the occasion. and presented very
brilliant appearance; the various ta-
bles and booths are tastefully deco
rated with evergreens, lots Of pink,
blue and yellow tulle, or tarletan,

vie with each other In attention to
visitors. To the right, as one enters,
Is the hat stand, superintended by
Miss Madegan and several other
young ladies'; here yon deposit
your head covering, receiving Q
check therefor, and you can then pass
on to the post Office, where . letter
probably awaits you in the hands Of
the post-mistress, Mrs. Woodwork,
or the deputy, Miss Valencia. Next
comes the refreshment table, . part
nership concern in which Mrs. Dow
ney, Mrs. Griffin and Mrs. Huber are
the principal owners, and have, to as
sist them, Miss Williams, the Misses
Carlisle, Miss Katie Armstrong, and
several other beautiful young ladies.
Passing round the room we reach the
"grab.box," in custody Of Mrs. Nc
Dougan, Miss Williams and Miss Do
minga Oliyeras. For two-bits q lucky
grabber can get almost anything, from
a doll-baby to candle-stick, or an
"ornament for your mantel-piece."
At the opposite end OF this room is the
lunch table managed by Mrs. Wilson
and Mrs. Cary; also the wine side
board, from which Mrs. Calvin and
Mrs. Hartnell dispense every conceiv-
able kind of liquid, from the light
wines of France to the more substan-
tial brew. of Chris. Henne (the latter
in very small glasses). In the second
or inner room we found the flower
stand, presided over by Mrs. Childs,
with Mrs. Gard and Mrs. Weinshanks
as assistants. Immediately opposite
Is the coffee stand, where Mrs. Ban
dini delights her customers with the
unadulterated' article with delicious
cream. Next in order Is the wheel of

skill, aided by Mrs. Peasants and Mrs.
Aguilar. Then we come to the for
tune teller's booth, with Mrs. Stearns
and Miss Blair ready to reveal the fu-
ture to old and young, big and little.
Last Of all Is the fancy table, attended
by Mrs. Col. Howard, Mrs. Storke,
Mrs. Jones, Mrs. Kelly and. Miss
Smith, who assist bewildered pur-
chasers to make their choice from the
great variety Of articles displayed,
consisting Of toilet sets, laces, pincush-

their non-publication lay with the
newspapers in San Francisco.

cepted the proposal Of the HERALD.

The Sonora Shooting Case.

Yesterday q HERALD reporter &C.
companied DR.. Gelcich to the house of
Romualdo Sanchez, where the unfor-
tunate child GerbaclO Valencia is ly.
ing. The history of the child is briefly
as follows: When only eight months
old he was adopted by Sanchez and
his wife, who have tended him rs their
own child up to the present time. The
boys mother died in giving birth to
him, and his father is a Woodworking
resident of Lone Pine. Although sep
arated from his child by a large tract
of country, the father manages to see
him several times>a year. He arrived
yesterday while the HERALD reporter
was visiting the child, and seemed ut
terly Frustrated by grief. He knelt by
his boys bedside, and gave way to his
long pent-up agony in q manner that
rendered it necessary to remove him
from the child's side OH account of the
injurious effect to the sufferer.
, AS stated in yesterdays issue, there
are 81 shot in the child's face. Most
of these have been extracted, with the
exception Of one which entered the
head about an inch over the right eye,
and has, as is supposed, penetrated the
brain. The extraordinary thing is that
the child is conscious, and, in certain
sense, doing we'll. DR.. Gelcich has not
thought it necessary to remove the shot
from his hands and other portions Of
the body, which do not Immediately af-
feet the question of his life, but the boy
eats and drinks light food, and his or
gans Of digestion, ETC., are in perfect or
der. The cornea Of the eyes is wounded,
and they are suppurating freely. The
sight was destroyed at once, entirely,
and forever; the teeth are all broken,
and some shot out; the ears are mutt
lated with shot, and the cheeks, nose
and forehead are horribly disfigured.
The poor child is constantly trying to
rub his face with his hands and 1t is
necessary to hold him, in order to pre-
vent his irritating his wounds. BY
DIR. Gelcich's advice he has been mo-
we'd from the bed to the floor, AS even
the shaking of the bed was deemed
hurtful to the brain. The DR.. asked
him where the pain was, and the
boy Mt once placed his hand near the
right eye where (it is feared) the shot
has entered the brain and said,
"aqui." The father was at Lone
Pine, at the date of the accident,
and message was sent to him as
fast as the stage coach and
telegraph could connect with hims
AllusiOn has been made to his agony
ct seeing the little boy. 1t was really
indescribable. Spanish grief Is ut all
times emotional, this was positively
painful in the extreme. The rest of the
sad story Is soon told. Contreras the
boy who shot Valencia, is nearly be-
side himself with grief. He says he
killed his best friend, and on his knees
he implOred his father and mother to
take away his life. The lesson to be
derived from this unhappy accident
may be found on perusal OF our editor
ial columns. s. s.rt4
