Rscapsment Shafts for Coal Mines.

In view of the late Nova Scotia cOlhery
horror, it seems particularly appropriate
to refer at this time to that provision of
the mining law passed by the Twenty
Seventh General Assembly of this State
requiring owners of mines TO sink an es-
capement shaft for the egress of miners in
case of disaster 1t is as follows:
SEC. 3. In all coal mines or collieries
that are, or have been, in operation prior
to the first day of July, A. d. 1872, and
which are worked by or through shaft,
slope or drift, and in which more than
fifteen miners are employed, if there is
not already an eScapement shaft to each
and every said coal mine or cOliery, or a
communication between each and said
coal mine or cOlhery, and some other con-
| tiguous mine, there shall be an escape
ment shaft, making at least two distinct
means of ingress and egress for all persons
| employed or permitted TO work in such
coal mine or cOlliery Such escapement
| shaft or any other communication with a
contiguous mine, rs aforesaid, shall be con-
/ structed in connection with every vein OF
stratum of coal worked in such coal mines
or collieries, and the time TO be allowed
for such construction shall be one veal
for each one hundred feet in depth of such
escapement shaft so to be constructed, Oi
fractional part. thereof, And each anC
every such escapement shall be separated
from the main shaft by such extent o.
natural strata as shall secure safety 10 the
miners, such distance to be left TO the dis
cretion of the inspector or person acting il
that canacity.

Hotel Clerks.

The Louisville Coprier-JourRal thus de-
tends much abused class Of citizens:
Speaking of hotel clerks, I could never,
for the life of me. understand why it is
that the shafts of all newspaperdOm are
leveled at this devoted class So much
has been written of their lofty scorn that
they have become proverb for stilted in
science But there is another side to the
picture. Hotel guests do not always tread
on thorns nor on red-hot plowshares Of
clerkly Indignation There is no ineyita
BILE connection, in short, between that I'm
enviable Office and impudence. The very
reverse is true, since it is hardly possible
that proprietors III search of pOliteness,
could invariably hit on Doors They, too,
as well as travellers, have their petty an
noyances, and great many of them.
Think of a poor fellow in tight pants and
tighter boots, standing all day and half the
night in the office TO answer questions.
Put yourself in his place for only few
short weeks, and learn to be just aud fea1
not Remember, you are not the first one
who has asked him at least a dozen times
when the train starts-even when the hour
is placarded right under your nose
/ Guests are sometimes impudent themselves
/ feeling no doubt, that because man sells
/ his meat and bread he necessarily sells hi:
sensitiveness with it.

GETTING DESPERATE.

There exists little if any doubt that rail
road lawyers, in the interest of the rail
roads, are FORMULATING the district in
which Judge Craig is the farmers candi-
date for Supreme Judge, and against whom
the lawyers and monopolists are running
Lawrence, and attempting to subsidize
newspapers and bride men to work for
Lawrence. And there is as little reason
to doubt also that an effort is being made
to subsidize for Lawrence newspapers out
side Of the district, but which have a cir
culation in the district. If the farmers in
that district do not care enough about this
contest between themselves and the mo-
nopolists to turn out ON the I'd day Of June
and elect Craig, their own candidate, they
will have little excuse for complaining Of
the decision of courts in the future.

No Raat for the Wicked.

A Mrs. Lloyd, who became notorious in
Dubuque through attempts at black mail
ing, and by shooting at Teller" settled
at housekeeping in very respectable quar-
tiers in this city the other day. She had
come from Burlington, that city having
proved too hot for her She had female
companion who was not so good looking as
herself. A few nights since the couple Of
''lone women" aroused their neighbors by
fierce quarrel in which the most awful
oaths and internal epithets ever heard il
that portion of town, were uttered in shrek,
ing tones Next day the landlord desired
the apartment they occupied, and the
next day Chief Martens paid them pro
fessional visit and advised them to trave
for the benefit of their health. They are
travelling now.-Dag. Gaz.
