WHAT Is IN TIE WINDa

From the Jackson (Tenn.) Wing and Tribune.
Politics is in a transition state, or rather
chaos broods over the face of the political
deep. We think the disintegration Of the
Republican party is surely taking place.
The seeds of corruption are planted in its
body, and corrupt tree cannot bring forth
that which is incorruptible. Nor do we
know yet what is to come Of its overthrow.
We look TO Adams, of Massachusetts, for
light; he is cold and passive as sphYnx.
We turn to Hendricks, and there is no re-
sponse, Stephens, of Georgia, has answer
ed in distractions, but there has been no
bugle note by which the clansmen can be
gathered, and 10 line of policy foreshadow-
ed by which the people can walk in safety.
Whispers of a resurrection of TIE old Wing
party reach US, and "small men" are en-
deavoring to breathe life into body which
Clay and Webster could not keep from
dying, and unless it is tenderly watched
over by some intellectual giant" we shall
expect this fresh venture to collapse more
readily than Prof. Wise's balloon.

SAN FRANCIsCo, Sept. 20.-At Goldhill,
New, at 8 o'clock this morning the work
men were eating lunch when fire broke
out in the blacksmith shop belonging to the
Belcher Company, situated 1900 feet be-
low the level in the Yellow Jacket mine q
short distance nolt tn of the Jacket. The
shaft timbers being ve'y dry, the fire spread
RAPIDLY and soon filed the Yellow jacket,
Crown Point and Belcher mines with smoke
and as. About quarter past three an
explosion occurred which put out the lights
in all the n,iues. The men hurried from
The Crown Point az Belcher shafts very
rapidly and all escaped but six whose bodies
have sincs been recovered. Communica.
ton with the imperial on the north and
Crown Point on the south has been cut OF.
There is no danger of the fire spreading.
The fremen can do nothing toward extln-
guishingi' i, bat il is in a place where there
is not much timber and will consequently
die out. Work will lie probably CON-
menced in Belcher and Crown Point to-
morrow. A number of the escaped miners
a1e very sick from inhaiing gas and being
burned, tut none considered dangerously
The people are greatly ex tied. 1t is ru-
mored that others are still missing. The
cry is now, No mora blacksmith shops il
mines.

EATING WHEN EXHAUSTED.

When the strength or nerve power Is al
ready worn out or used up, the digestion OF
food only makes fresh demand upon 1t, and
if it be unable to meet the demand, the food
is only burden upon it, producing mischief.
Our bodies have been compared to steam
engines, the food being the fuel and the
steam produced the nerve power. Inc
analogy holds good to certain extent: Ii,
when the steam is low, because the fire is
low, you pile in too fast quantity OF ccal
YOU put out your fire, and If you have de-
pended unon steam power to fan your fires,
that is also extinguished. Beyond this the
comparison falls. You may clean ouf your
furnaces and begin again, bus IN the Oody
the consequences of this overlooking are
dangerous and sometimes fatal. No cause
of cholera 10 NOR. common than eating
freely when exhausted. The rule should
be to rest for time, and take some simple
refreshment, a cup or q part OF cup OF
tea, a little broth, or even piece OF bread,
ANYTHING simple and in small amount,
inst to stimulate the stomach slightly and
begin to restore its power. After rest, a
moderate quantity will be refreshing. New
er eat a full meal when you are exhausted
Take first small qusntity OF any thing single
which may be handy, and rest. Then,
after a time, proper food will be blessing,
not a burden. The fires will burn, the steam
will be ~, and you can go on your way
safely. 1t not amiss, in this connection,
TO say that children would avoid many q
feverish night and many an attack OF dis
ease, if mothers would follow this rule.
