A Keokuk lady, while engaged in
the pursuit of her domestic duties,
yesterday morning, encountered a
mouse in the flour barrel. Now most
ladies under similar circumstances
would have uttered few feminine
shrieks and sought safety in the gar
ret. But this one possessed more
than the ordinary degree of female
courage. She summoned the hired
man and told him to get the shot
gun, call the bull dog, and station
himself at a convenient distance.
Then she climbed half way up the
stairs and commenced to punch the
-four barrel vigorously with a pole.
Presently the mouse made its ap-
pearance aud started across the floor.
The bull dog at once went in per-
suit. The hired man fired and the
dog dropped dead. The lady faint
ed and fell down the stairs, and the
hired man thinking she was killed,
and fearing that he would be arres,
ted for murder, Int out and has not
been seen since. The mouse esca

Mining Engines--yen ilasion

Some difference of views being eXtant as
to the practicability and safety &C running
locomotive engines in the mines, we paid
visit to Hoffman Mines few days since to
observe how far the use Of the new engine,
the ANT" had evinced the success or fail
ure of the project.
The objection urged against the use
of this mode of underground transportation
is well known as proceeding from the fear
of inadequate ventilation-that in mines
not too well provided with the means there
for, the air is burdene6 with the foreign ele-
ments evolved from combustion-smoke
and vapor,-increasing the difficulty OF es-
cape, and, of course, impairing the comfort
and imperiling the health of the Miners
1t is further alleged that, owing to the re-
version of currents in the change from Win
ter to summer, yet additional difficulty is
| incurred, and that, therefore, an experiment
at this season, however successful and
promising, does not warrant favorable con-
clusions
| On the other hand, it is stated, that so
far as Hoffman Mine is concerned, the diff
eulties cited above are not applicable-the
ventilation being ample for safe running in
SUNNI as in winter This is endorsed by
the testimony of those miners who have eX-
pressed themselves that as yet no atmos-
pheric change from the use of the engine
has been perceived. Mr.. WIN. ARTHUR, the
engineer, confirms this by asserting his par
teulsr opportunity for .scertaining
whether inconvenience is in any manner
sustained from lack of ventilation-that
the smoke and vapor (of which there is not
much at mostD passes rapidly of and out of
the mine He refers also to his experience
at Ocean Mines, where an engine has been
employed fer year past, during which he
failed to diseove- any disc9mfort arising
from its operation at any SEASON.
The question, however, is still consider
ed an open one. An exhaustive test is
probably indispensable to solution entirely
satisfactory. While every device and i'm
provemcnt which facilitates development is
very much added to the material benefit Of
the labor and trade communities, it yet oc-
ours that great care should be exercised by
both operators and miners to prevent evils
possibly pelmanent-to see that health is
not laid liable 10 sacrifice from desire for
rapid production on the one side, and too
industrious wish on the other to pile up
monthly wages. The same motive which
impels to rapid development should pro
vide also the hygienic accessories to coun-
teract whatever may add to healthtul dete-
rioraton.
As to TIE work of which the SAINT is ca
pable, there can be no question that it will
do all the operators desire-carry coal rap
idly and directly out Of the mine. On Tues
day, as an instance, a single round trip
four miles-was made in thirty-tive minutes,
I including ten minutes rest, carryin seven
teen empty Gers IN, and drawing the same
number loaded out-thirty. four tons coal
